Vinny - Frog Days (a 90s-inspired point and click experience) 

This is what computers looked like to me when I was very little and went to the computer lab. So many things inexplicably happening that it feels endless and dreamlike.

finally, a good emulation of old technology thats not a fucking analog horror

The part where it's literally the ruins of the Museum of Anything Goes is legitimately haunting

You know, the composer of Pizza Tower's music is making a game that also looks just like this, called Dust Riser. I'm so happy we are getting more games like this.

With this game being an emulation of 90s computer software and internet plug-ins, it's almost thematic that it's incomplete. I remember some point and click games using absolutely insane jumps in logic to complete, so I've owned more of them than I've beaten. And, I remember a lot of websites from the 90s that tried to also be adventure games, with hidden links and stock animation assets. I remember so many of them being "under construction", never to be finished. It's incredibly on-brand for the time period that this is looking to emulate that the game itself is unfinished vaporware.

My favorite part is how influence this entire game is by Museum of Anything Goes, and how this game itself became an influence to Hypnospace outlaw. It's just crazy to see the lineage there, especially since the Museum of Anything Goes is such an evocative game that has just stayed in my mind for years and years, that any reference to it is wonderful to me

Having the computer drivers be represented by a literal taxi is amazing. Somebody needs to make a Linux distro or OS where things like windows, drivers, and so on are represented by actual, real life counterparts.

8:13 "DINK HAS OVERLOADED THE SYSTEM"

Gonna miss your editing Pierdeer, you've been wonderful to have on the channel. Thank you for this last present

I love the nostalgic vibe of this. I'm glad it doesn't seem to devolve into a horror game and understands the premise holds up on its own.

i love newer prerendered stuff like this. this and The Desolate Hope are such beautiful games. it's a shame it's not a more popular genre.

This game is really cool and definitely captures that 90s esq edutainment-core. I recommend playing this game if you want a good vibe.

Even unfinished it's projects like these that repaint and encapsulate an era that one day could be dust. It's like the beauty and twisted wonder of the time blended through a fun house mirror.

Im so sad this game got abandoned and no one played it. I hope the 5 people who streamed it would motivate the devs to finish it

Fun fact, Vinny: "FlamingOS" was mentioned in Hypnospace Outlaw, albeit in some of the more obscure pages. People used it to make graphics and NetSettler pages back then. Who knows? Maybe whoever made this game intended it as an unofficial prequel.

Honestly the bonkers type of art I want to make until my bones turn to dust, so many ideas aaaaa

I love the surreal nature of early CGI. The strange combination of dithered colors, recognizable but unnatural shapes, and sheer whimsy just feels warm and comfy to me. I've never had a DMT trip (sadly), but I imagine it would look a little like that.

God I love skung computer experience games. Truly an underrated genre. Awesome to learn about this and I'm excited for DreamSettler when it eventually comes out

Frog Days is like the dog days of summer, except it's so humid that you don't just get swamp arse: you get swamp EVERYTHING. Also, I do remember when computers were like this. I experienced Windows 98 and classic Mac OS before Windows XP became the standard.

really glad this became a main channel video, i remember the stream for this and the vibes of this game are immaculate, thank you pierdeer for putting this together :)

Everything in this game looks like those pictures in those drum and bass playlist videos. I really like it.

Frogsauce is the 4th best season of Vinesauce, right behind Skibidisauce, Muppetsauce, and Tomodachisauce

Every time I think an edit is great due to a silly detail, it's Pierdeer. Thank you, gud dier. And I hope you're in the dev's dating sim ;).

Jerma breakdancing in the trash was on point

Man I love frogs

12:42 Literally Jerma's voice

joel needs to play this.... its like it was made just for him

This is so genuinely perfectly the exact type of weirdness as The Museum of Anything Goes. What a masterpiece.

My god, I really hope the dev comes back to complete this someday. It's a real hidden masterpiece.

oh my god this video is DENSE in references i lost it at the fathermothercow

Y’know, the swole dinosaur sculpture with a pizzis and the drooling dinosaur tongue rooms make a lot more sense knowing what the dev is working on now. Good for them! Good for them.

This is unbelievably 90s.

I read the dev forum and i hope the dev sees your vid, this game itches my brain

For a brief moment I forgot scoot was a duck and not a frog.

this gets old program ui and renders and stuff so spot on i love how this looks so much

14:08 Booru Neuron Activation 15:02 You tease.

10:45 minecraft cave noise pitched up

Between this and Surealidade I genuinely do hope we get more weird, abstract point and click games like these, it’s so fun just looking at them

The fabled FlamingOS...

I watched this live some months ago and i loved it

I very recently watched someone play hypnospace and flamingOS was mentioned so this was a shock lol

That reminds me, I vaguely remembering Vinny referencing Frog Fractions somewhere, so curious how he reacted to playing it

This was such a great experience! I adore this game.

im so extremely jealous of the guy who made this if it was me i would be so proud

This guy abandoned this incredible gem that perfectly encapsulates 90s media to make a _furry dating sim?_ Based.

why was this abandoned it looks super cool

♥

Man the editor of this video really likes Jerma huh? Me too. God I miss him so much.

FLAMINGOS WAS A THING IN HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW

does anyone know a good resource for learning to make similar retro 3d graphics like this?

15:01 I hope this is real cuz thats hilarious holy shiit

Ive never watched a vinesauce stream on weed, but i bet its incredible.

I love the soundtrack for this game

Don't click on the grave, you'll be sorry...

Wonderful bro

This brought back deep, dark, & horrific memories from having a computer that was this painfully slow and frustrating to operate. Like a really cheap gateway computer. Every click just made everything worse like being trapped an inescapable rat maze made of sluggish Pentiums. The horror. The Horror. Such monsters are to remain buried. Do not trust the nostalgia of this moment in time, for it lies through it's jagged, pixelated teeth.

3:19 GoblinPls

hold up

This is a very beautiful game, I hope the creator is doing alright

This is nostalgia overload.

I love how this game never lets you sit and get stuck on something for too long

This is so surreal.

Ooo ooo ooo!

Vinny and Jerma are never playing a normal game i swear

I want to learn how to do old 90's style rendering like this in Blender. If anyone know how, show me some tutorials!

Debussi pls

amen

Was anyone else surprised how well Vinny actually drew the characters?

frog shit makes frog sad. :(

Finally, hypnospace 4

dude no wonder I recognized flamingOS this dude made the Musi for hypnospace outlaw

The exploration bits remind me of I Spy

"YOU BROKE MY PAINT PROGRAM?!"

5:18 what's the "normal" "unknown" twitter extension being used here?

Contrary to popular belief, you can in fact download a car. However, it will not natively function on your computer's operating system, so you need to make yourself the driver.

What in gods name is the goblin song i can't find it anywhere

This is the beauty we lost in exchange for HiDPI crap.

is that dog that went for the bone jerma-

Vinny made frog sad around 4:30. 🐸

8:13 that dink is very mike esq

Finally! A game with an old art style that doesn't suddenly turns into an horror game. (Not saying these are bad but its kinda generic after some time)

So since Boppo was also a thing in HSOL, what'a the significance? Was it just a reference to this game or something else?

I've downloaded the game from the Internet Archives and I realized that the autosave feature doesnt work even when I enter a new zone or get something in my inventory, the manual save gets stored as a 999 file, but appearently no way to load them. Anyone know what's happening?

La frogs

Ummagumma

turtles

I tried playing this for myself and absolutely love it, but I'm a bit annoyed because the save function doesn't seem to work at all no matter what I do.

whats the music that plays when he draws yoshi at 6:52 ? its so familiar but I can’t place it.

Man, I remember the 90’s… (Born in 2001)

Everyone shut up, Homer Simpson just released the Noise update for Pizza Tower!!!!

does anyone know the furry dating sim the dev mentioned? seeing this talent be put towards something like that must be interesting

In the original forum thread the dev said he abandoned this because he just lost interest in making this kind of thing, which is understandable and still sad, but I'm really surprised it wasn't from some sudden tragedy or life event. Normally if a creator gets to 99% they'll finish it even if they lose interest, super weird especially given the level of polish this has.

Man, the fact that the game is only 99% made me wonder how the ending would be like Also, i may have a hunch on who the author of the game is the moment i saw the anthro dinosaur statue and the mouth of...camels? And when he said it was going to creat a furry dating-sim...but i don't want to get wrong

11:27 Is that DingDong??

11:25 I swear to God that these guys always just sound like BDG and it always makes me wonder if it's actually him ffs.

14:59-15:08 Why were the tongues so shiny and drooly? A room with camel mouths open and closed would have been equally effective at being weird right?

okay but do it honk?

BRO SO MANY NSFW BOTS 💀
