Frogs Around The World

Hello! It's the weekly...

🌍🐸 TODEPOND TIMES 🐸🌍

The new video is OUT NOW! Here it is! Have you seen it yet? What did you think? I hope you enjoyed the journey around the world!

Drag & Drop

No time to waste! I've started working on the next video!

Do you remember? A while back, there was a THREE-WAY-TIE in the video vote. So I agreed to do all three patron choices.

Let's look at the calendar:

July: 🚨 Crime (chosen by patrons)
August: 🦕 Top 9 ways to make Big Sand (chosen by me)
September: 🌀 Top 9 ways to make Time Travel (chosen by patrons)
October: 🦠 Cells in Cells in Cells (chosen by me)
November: ⛰️ SandPond Saga (chosen by patrons)
December: 🚩 Tourism 2: Off-Road (chosen by patrons)
January: ✨ Drag & Drop (chosen by patrons)
January: ??? (chosen by patrons)
February: ??? (chosen by me)
March: ??? (chosen by patrons)

So the next video is going to be about making your own elements (like sand) with a ✨ Drag & Drop interface. I'm currently figuring out how it's going to work, and I think I have a clear-ish vision now. My next task is to build the thing!

Tourism 3D

There are still some engines that didn't manage to get squeezed into the new video. And I'm sure that there will be more engines to discover in the future! So I will probably end up doing another Tourism sequel one day. Let's call it 'Tourism 3D'!

I'm pleased that I've been able to showcase a lot of different people's projects now! However, I'm quite aware of how I haven't featured a very diverse mix of race, gender and sexuality. Hopefully... Tourism 3D will represent a more complete picture of the diverse world that we live in! That way, it can be a more welcoming video for everyone who watches it.

Discord

I'm really pleased with how our discord server is going, so thank you everyone who has taken part!

We have already seen+shared some great tode-worthy content, like... Drawing Sound, a new Bananaspring high-score, and the legend that is Pomao.

We now also have a custom Tode emoji! And Andrew Walpole made us all an animated nodding Tode emoji! Thanks Andrew!

I would like the server to grow semi-organically, so I won't post it up on social media right now. Please do feel free to invite other people! But there is no pressure to (either way) :)

Thank you so much for your support. You have helped me to make another video and I am extremely thankful! It's gonna be a great year! And see you next week! 🐸✨
