It's best to keep frogs with genetics that lean strongly in one direction, making them the most or least of something. Pay close attention to your frogs' Umbrage and Saturation specifically, as you'll find these to be the most common alterations.

Ell is currently getting distracted by making Mudborne (a spiritual sequel of sorts to APICO) that had a new demo released in 2024 and is scheduled to release in early 2025, after which Snacktorio's full release will be worked on.

Using the genetic keys of the new species you create you can unlock the paths between the waking and dreaming worlds, explore the land of those still hibernating, and embark on a journey to help restore the lost populations and find out what happened.

You awaken from your hibernation to find your pond abandoned and empty. Through a combination of crafting minigames, menu management and puzzle solving, experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost.

Those are the main areas, but there’s also some other bits and bobs that’ll be included or expanded upon in the full game, such as:

Mushrooms are the key component to changing the traits of the frogs you're breeding as you pass through generations by way of the magic muds you include in the nursery with the frogspawn eggs, so if you need to change a specific trait, be sure you've got the right kind of magic mud in as the tadpoles form. If not, you'll need to try again with a new bunch of frogborne eggs and a new batch of mud.

Now that you’ve had a taste of the new demo’s bugs, here’s what you'll discover in the full game!

You’ll need to explore all the regions and meet up with the different members of the salvage team to work on fixing their problems and restoring each part of the pond, from clearing the algae that’s taken over the kindergarten pools, to draining the flooding of the residential district.

The game is still in development, with a release aimed for 2025. You can follow along with progress and devlogs in the Discord, be sure to give it a wishlist to be notified of release! You can play the demo below.

Followed Mudborne is a casual nature management sim about discovering & breeding frogs! Awoken from hibernation you find your Mudborne Game pond abandoned.

There are a couple ways to get mushrooms to spawn in Mudborne, but you'll need to understand where they grow first before you can try to force them to appear.

A portion of the money made will be donated towards national and international amphibian, wetlands, and environmental charities to help keep our little green friends and their homes happy and healthy
