Today marks the end of the "year of the frog". And boy, what a year it's been for Frogger.
Here's a summary of the notable things which happened this year.
Frogger: The Great Quest
Prototype Released
A prototype for the PS2 version has been found and released, built 2 weeks before the US release.
It contains various differences from the final which have yet to be documented on TCRF.

Unused Level
An unused level has been found and with a simple modification can be played.

Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue
Compatibility Patch:
The game has been fixed to run on modern versions of Windows.
Patch Download: here
Unused Content:
Debug menus and unused content has been found.
This has not yet been documented anywhere yet, but eventually it will be.
Frogger: Ancient Shadow
The lost PC port has been partially recovered.
Flairieve had around 20% of the game files on an old hard-drive backup, this was enough for us to get the game into a fully playable state.
While we are still looking for the remaining PC files, the PC port is downloadable, and fully playable.

Next Year
2021 is Frogger's 40th anniversary, and, you guessed it, another "year of the frog".
Here's what we're working on:
Frogger TGQ Decomp
We're working on a decompilation project to turn Frogger TGQ back into compilable C / C++ source code.
FrogLord Rewrite
FrogLord is a mess, and certain design choices make it impossible to add certain features.
A rewrite is in the works, allowing for features such as a built-in level editor, and potentially testing levels in-editor.
