The team behind Parkitect shares the latest progress on its cozy frog-filled town builder ahead of Early Access this winter
[August 18, 2026] — Texel Raptor, the development team behind Parkitect, has shared a development update for Croakwood, its upcoming relaxed town-building and management game. The latest devlog details recent work on Mac support and game performance, including a new rendering solution developed by the team as development continues toward an Early Access launch this winter. Check out the full devlog here.
Nestled in the heart of the Croakwood Forest is a community of tiny frogs ready to make it their home. Players will help their froggy villagers thrive by building houses, shops and community spaces, setting up production chains and jobs, and watching the settlement come to life as its residents work together. With no time pressure or conflict, Croakwood is all about building at your own pace and creating a happy home for your froggy friends.
