Raul Martinez Garrido akaMolegato has previously discussed the iterative process of game development, talking about the way that putting everything into the process can be exhausting at first. Garrido was appreciative of the positive reception theFrogungot and decided to dedicate time and attention to the process in a more structured manner. It appears that Garrido’s approach has grown to incorporate a direct sequel, and although some have played the demo, gamers are interested in playingFrogun ENCOREthemselves and seeing how this release has changed things.
Some fans are most curious about changes such as the new camera system. The change appears similar to that ofSuper Mario 3D World, which was controversial among groups of players. Although some disliked the different camera angle, many appreciated the change that the fixed camera angle offered by allowing the player to focus more on managing controls and observing the environment differently. Either way, it appears that fans ofindie platforming gamesare looking forward to trying out the new game soon.
