I'm thinking something that isn't overtly political, in spite of the political nature of the meme, just a story of a brave frog fighting a great battle, in the spirit of the classic JRPGs of the 80s/90s.

I remember there was something about Frenworld. What codebase or engine will you use?
don't really know. I'm a complete noob to the dev side of things. honestly, i'm just spitballing for fun at this point. Heck, even if I actually make a game, maybe somebody else will be inspired by the conversation to make something good, lol.
I highly recommend rpg maker. It's a surprisingly robust my-first-game tool specifically designed to make old-school Final Fantasy clones.

that was the first name that came to mind, funny enough. I didn't name a specific engine, though, because I only know about rpg-maker due to it's basic-bitch level populatrity, lol.
not insulting RPGmaker, btw, just pointing out it's insane popularity.
it's popular for a reason. I haven't used it much myself, but I have a few friends that have used it a lot. in this case, it seems like a tool designed specifically to do what you want to do.
there are other game engines out there that will be more robust, but will also require more learning and work in general. in my opinion, this would be wasted effort if your goal is to just make a standard turn-based RPG.
oh no doubt. I remember coming across versions of RPG-maker for PSX back in the mid-2000s, so that doesn't really surprise me.
Isometric top down action hack and slash like Tunic which also borrows from LOTZ
Maybe have a sequence where the god of the hero decides to kill him?
not a bad idea. leaning more into the meta than I was thinking, but that could be something to weave into the story...
