**Hi everyone! Big announcement today!**
At the time of writing the last post, we wanted to share our adventure with this blog a lot more often, but I think we were quite busy making our first game 😄.
It's never too late though, so here is a recap of what we did.
As described in the last post, we started to work on Frog Collective in April.
We did the pre-production of our first project during this first month while dealing with administrative stuff (we are in France; it's a known fact that administrative paperwork is quite intense here).
The company was officially created in May.
At that time, we started to know where we wanted to go with our first game, so we started to work on its title, the Steam page and trailer to start to communicate as soon as possible.
The game: "[Coldridge](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3052500/ColdRidge/)", is a blend between board game and roguelite mechanisms.
You need to explore a procedurally generated map to discover resources requested by the all powerful guild of the city of Coldridge.
Our initial plan was to develop the game in five months; making a small game was quite liberating for us!
We published [Coldridge Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYTgZaV4av4) on June 24 and the demo one month later, on July 23.
The reception was amazing, so we decided to put two more months on the project to add a lot more content and a narrative storyline.
In October, we attended GodotCon, where we gave a talk about [how we approach the Godot engine to make Coldridge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7pzX737mok).
Watch it if you want to know a bit more about how we did it.
Don't hesitate to come ask us questions about details on our social networks; the presentation is quite dense, so we don't delve into details.
**The game is out today!** We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we liked working on it.
