When Grace Bruxner made Frog Detective as her final-year university project, she had no inkling it would find a global audience and turn into a trilogy.
Suddenly, half a million copies of the first two Frog Detective games had been sold.
Bruxner is self-effacing about this assessment, but explains: "Melbourne is a playful place and Australians are playful. I think it's a testament to how things can get done [here] with a small team and keeping the scale small."She says VicScreen funding has been key to the success of her games and other distinctive local works .
"They're more willing to take risks on games that they are just interested in, rather than [games] they know will definitely sell," says Bruxner. "It means we're getting this new audience that we didn't have before … We don't really care about the money, we just want people to play it," Bruxner says.In Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County, released in October, our hero goes west on the trail of some missing hats but in the process uncovers a rot that goes to the heart of the criminal justice system.
