Discuss this release on the Highway Frogs Discord server!
In 2022, a massive development archive for Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge was acquired by Highway Frogs, The lot is a near complete development history containing documents, prototypes, source code, early FMV cutscenes, unused music, and much more. It is the first of several full-development archive releases by Highway Frogs.
The Release Contains:
- Over 1000 Pages of Paper Documents needed to be scanned, deskewed, and turned into PDFs.
- Over 200 audio tracks were rendered/mastered extremely carefully using original hardware such as the Yamaha EX-5 and original software like SoundForge 4.0.
- The "End of Project" Tape was damaged by a data recovery company, and it took months of reverse-engineering to recover the data ourselves. ([More Info])
- Byte-Matched Source Code Repos for 7 different Frogger games/consoles, which have been updated to compile on Windows 10/11.
- Custom tools made for working with some of the backups, such as a 3D object converter, or a compiler/decompiler for game scripts, and more.
- A mod fixing Frogger 2's compatibility issues on modern computers, aka the "Frogger 2 Enhanced PC Port".
- Tons more.
