Psycho Frogo - October Development Update 🐸

Hey everyone! We've been hard at work over the past couple of weeks adding some exciting new features and polishing the experience. Here's everything that's new in Psycho Frogo!

✨ Major Features

👻 Ghost Replay System Race against yourself! The game now records your best runs and plays them back as a translucent ghost frog on subsequent attempts. Watch your previous performance and try to beat your own time. You can toggle ghosts on/off in the Settings menu, and the system intelligently records per-level so you always have your best run to compete against.

🎬 Unlock Cutscenes Progressing through the game now feels even more rewarding! When you unlock certain levels, you'll be treated to exclusive bonus cutscenes that expand the Psycho Frogo universe. These play automatically after completion screens and can be skipped if you're in a hurry. Each cutscene only plays once, making them special milestone rewards.

🏆 Steam Achievements Your accomplishments now carry over to Steam! We've fully integrated Steam achievements with custom artwork for every unlock. From completing levels to unlocking rare skins, your progress is now immortalized on your Steam profile. Each achievement features unique locked/unlocked icon states.

🎵 Enhanced Audio Experience Every level now has its own victory music! We've added rock-style completion tracks for all 13 levels, each with its own personality. The new audio suite includes: Level-specific completion music (Levels 1-13) Credits scene soundtrack Countdown sound effects for intense moments Music visualizer (demo build)

🎨 New Skins & Visual Updates Fresh frog fashion has arrived! We've added new player skins and completely refreshed the existing ones with improved artwork: frogo_skin05 - A sleek new look frogo_skin07 - The ghostly apparition skin Updated artwork for skins 01, 02, and 03 New space-themed background for Level 13 Enhanced enemy sprites

🔧 Debug Tools (Developer Quality of Life) For testing and content creation, we've added a comprehensive debug menu (press 'T') that allows instant level unlocking, stat modification, and quick resets. This has dramatically sped up our testing workflow.

🎮 UI/UX Polish The interface has received substantial love: Beautiful blur overlay effects on menus Improved keyboard and controller navigation Locked level stats are now properly hidden (no spoilers!) Better focus management between menus Steam integration indicators Enhanced visual theming throughout

🐛 Bug Fixes Windows Launch Fix ⚡ We've resolved a critical issue where the game wouldn't properly gain focus on Windows systems at startup. The window now correctly fullscreens and accepts input immediately - no more clicking around to get the game to respond!

Navigation & Polish Fixed menu navigation flow between level select and main menu Corrected level unlock requirements for better progression balance Level 2 and 3 now have properly tuned time requirements Various asset import and texture issues resolved

🛠️ Under the Hood For the technically curious, we've completely overhauled our data architecture: Fully data-driven systems for levels, achievements, and skins New centralized DataManager for game configuration Enhanced save system supporting ghost replays and cutscene tracking Modular achievement system that's easy to extend This foundation makes it much easier for us to add new content and features going forward!
