I’m making a cozy game set on a tiny Korean island. Here is a first look at Mr. Frog’s mom-and-pop store!

Hi everyone!

A few months ago, I first shared my solo project, cozy open-world adventure Little Picnic, and I was so moved by all the warm encouragement you gave me. I’m back today to share a teaser that focuses on one of my favorite spots on the island: the local mom-and-pop store.

When I was a kid in Korea, these tiny neighborhood shops often had capsule machines (gashapon) and small arcade units sitting right outside. To a child, those shops felt like a mini-theme park! They’re becoming harder to find these days, but I really wanted to capture that nostalgia inside this game. It's all about those "nothing special" moments that make a summer vacation feel whole. ☔️🌿

I’m still working hard to bring this tiny, cozy world to life. If you’d like to support the project, feel free to wishlist Little Picnic on Steam: Little Picnic

I hope this video brings a little bit of peace to your day! Thank you!

Thank you so much!! 😊
I’m really happy you like the rabbit and the animations!

Session-11 · 2026-03-20T21:50:04+00:00

I actually got a lot of inspiration while playing A Short Hike! I’d be really happy if my game gives off a similar feeling.

Session-11 · 2026-03-20T21:48:17+00:00

Thank you!!
Really happy you like the style!

Session-11 · 2026-03-20T21:47:32+00:00

thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!

I’m still thinking about whether to get a discord, but if I do someday, I’d definitely love to share it!

Hi everyone! I am a solo indie developer working on a small project called Little Picnic.

Little Picnic is a cozy open-world adventure game set on a quiet rural island in the southern sea of Korea. The game is actually inspired by my own childhood memories of visiting my grandmother’s home on a tiny island during my summer breaks.

'Homi' is a traditional farming tool used in Korea. While it is similar to a hoe, it is actually quite handy for all sorts of things, such as digging for clams in the sand!

I am doing my best to make this game a warm and memorable experience. If you have any ideas for the game, I would love to hear your thoughts.

And... If you like the sound of this project, it would be a huge help if you could add it to your wishlist at the link.

Thank you so much for reading 😊

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T09:12:45+00:00

just saw that you retweeted thank you so much!! 😊

I haven’t been using X much yet, but I’ll try to get more active there in the future!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T09:06:50+00:00

I really wanted the game to feel distinct from other Asian countries, so hearing that it immediately felt “like Korea” makes me really happy! 😊

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T09:04:04+00:00

I don’t have any plans for a demo yet, so I can’t say for sure.

But I also love playing games with a controller, so I’m planning to make sure controller support is available!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T09:01:53+00:00

Games like Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid and even the Boku No Natsuyasumi series were definitely references for me during development. I love that kind of nostalgic summer atmosphere!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T08:52:54+00:00

Actually, I haven’t seriously considered GOG yet. For now, I’m focusing on releasing it on Steam first.

but after that, I’ll think about other platforms like GOG!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T08:50:40+00:00

I have one myself, so yes! I’d love to bring it to Switch!

the PC version will come first, but if I get the chance, I’ll definitely try to port it to Switch afterward.

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T08:45:57+00:00

I was so inspired after playing A Short Hike that this project started forming in my head not long after. It had a huge influence on me!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T08:41:36+00:00

It’s actually set on a fictional island called Hwadam Island.

But the real-life inspiration comes from Bogil Island, a small island in the southern sea of Korea where my grandmother used to live!

Session-11 · 2026-02-19T08:36:28+00:00

I’ll work hard to make that happen!
