That means that the game's now old enough to cover its first emergency shift in the coal mine. Here are 6 facts highlighting those 6 years: Around 3% of the players have over 100 hours on their record. On average, people play the game for 24 hours. More than half managed to save every person in Frostland playing The New Home scenario. The most popular track from the Frostpunk OST is "The City Must Survive". It's been played over 6.4 million times on Spotify and over 1.3 million times on YouTube. The rarest achievement, unlocked by only 0.6% of Steam players is "Endless slave driver". It's unlocked when you make all other settlements distrustful towards you in Endless Mode. Over 5 million copies of Frostpunk across all platforms have been sold so far. Very soon you'll be able to play Frostpunk 2. So far the game has gathered over 2 million wishlists and we couldn't be more proud and grateful for all this support. 🏆 As part of the celebration, we're running a contest on Twitter in which you can win a copy of Frostpunk 2.

Cities Skylines 2 meanwhile drills into the minutiae of urban management, the gruelling but rewarding day-to-day of making small and vital decisions. Frostpunk feels like a combination of both, taking the best aspects of the strategy genre and combining them with a unique and brutal vision of post-apocalyptic survival. In one sense, it's a large-scale strategy sim where you're responsible for an entire civilization, and guiding the history of your own society. In another, it's a microcosm of difficult choices, people management, and tough, by-the-minute pragmatism. With Frostpunk 2 on the way, if you want to play one of the best and most brutal strategy games ever, Frostpunk can now be yours for $6. Read the rest of the story...

INDIKA is a unique, narrative-driven adventure set in a parallel 19th-century Russia. Watch the Announcement Trailer and Statement from the developers to learn about the game and how Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine affected the working relationship between Odd Meter and 11 bit studios. In INDIKA, players assume the role of the titular nun, Indika, embarking on a mind-bending journey to explore the duality of good and evil and the understanding that nothing is absolute. At its core, INDIKA is a third-person perspective adventure game, blending exploration with environmental puzzles and a touch of platforming. However, steeped in themes of sin, sorrow, and moral dilemmas, INDIKA transcends traditional gaming, resembling an art-house film that challenges societal norms rather than offering simple amusement.

Some time ago due to your unyielding interest we asked you to share your questions about the world of Frostpunk 1. We received a couple thousand questions in total! This video contains the answers to the most popular ones from Jakub Stokalski who was the Lead Designer of Frostpunk 1 and is currently the Game Director and Design Director at Frostpunk 2. Enjoy! Below you can find the questions and answers in the written form! What happened to the rest of the world? Has the entire planet gone permanently cold? You can reasonably assume that while the story focused on London and England the calamity was global and different countries saw it coming in different ways. It just goes without saying that some would try to adapt in different ways. We even hint at this at The Last Autumn and other points of the scenario. So you might reasonably expect different areas of the world to have some strategies of survival which we do not depict in the game. What they are specifically, how many survived or maybe all of them are gone we kind of want to keep under wraps. What happened to the British Royal Family and other powerful people of the era? We did not want to focus too much on establishing, you know, lots of backstory which is not the point of the game experience itself. However as the lore grew we knew that what actually enveloped Great Britain and the world in principle as The Great Freeze was progressing was all the social pressure to the point of civilization crumbling. The old social order started being under extreme duress and many violent happenings occured all around the world. The ultimate fate of the social structure of this time is something that we want to keep open. Where and how many generator sites were there? We did not specify and we do not want to specify how many generator sites were there, apart from the fact that there were multiple. Basically throughout all of the content you saw in Frostpunk you saw multiple generator sites as well as some failed sites so it goes without saying that the whole generator project was a big effort by the British Empire to try to save civilization. Are there any technologies other than the generators used to survive the cold? Even as we established in The Last Autumn different countries and different powers at the time saw the freeze coming and tried to adapt in their own ways. A few examples would be the French in The Last Autumn building this mysterious railway thingy. In the last expansion On The Edge we showed different settlements kind of trying to eke out a living even after The Great Storm. But definitely the generators were something big that was meant to uphold civilization and society in its structure. Would the other methods of survival allow this large-scale human settlement, large-scale social structures to survive? This we don't want to define at this time. Where did the people of Winterhome end up?

Thomas could barely catch up with his newsie friend. No wonder, the public executions still created quite a stir in New London, so there were always quite a lot of eager viewers present to witness the painful demise of a fellow citizen. Luckily, Henry and Thomas were small enough to squeeze through the human wall without problems. Well, not entirely without problems. A tall man muffled in a thick coat gave Thomas an angry stare when the boy bumped into his knee. This incident almost made Thomas lose the still-pushing forward friend from his sight. Yet, finally, boys managed to finally emerge from the crowd just in front of a few dozen yards from the base of the generator. From up close it seemed even larger and higher than usual, just like a finger of a giant pointing up toward the sky. For a while, Thomas decided to enjoy the warmth coming from the generator's loud, humming bowels. It was so peaceful - the boy almost didn’t want to ruin the whole experience by looking at the execution platform. Yet, it stood there - sad, lonely, with two poles on its sides, both wrapped up in chains. For a moment Thomas felt a cold shiver of dread - it was almost as if the site was greased with pain and misery of the executions that took place there for 30 years, long before Thomas was born. The tumult of crowded people pulled Thomas out of his thoughtful state. The noise came from the direction of the city’s main street. “He’s coming”, said Henry straight to his companion’s ear. A moment before, they were surrounded by talks and whispers, now shouts and calumnies have arisen among the crowd. People who were standing behind the boys were slowly moving to the sides to make room for someone who was making their way toward the generator. He was there, the convict. Screaming in a language that sounded foreign to Thomas’ ears. “I’ve heard he went mad, Tom’, said Henry, trying to outshout the voices of other viewers. “He went off the rails, I tell ya. Left his entire expedition to die in the frost” added the boy. Indeed, the man looked insane, screaming and jerking his cuffed hands to the sides, trying to free himself from the clutches of four municipal guards. That seemed strange to Thomas, as the convicts he has seen so far seemed devoid of will to fight or to live entirely. A long period of rotting in a cold prison cell probably did that to even the bravest soul. This convict seemed built from sterner stuff. All of a sudden, he even managed to break free from his captors' strong embraces and ran towards Thomas himself! For a split second, he reached the boy and grabbed the flaps of his jacket. “They are there!!!” yelled the man straight towards Thomas’ face. He was so close that the newsie could smell his breath, warm and stinking with a half-diges...Share your questions about the world of Frostpunk!Nov 3, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/007ffc398d53eb4e2ae7fc6a1f9c9903c0518c26.jpg Hello Citizens, Throughout the years the fans have been asking questions, speculating and discussing various topics related to the frozen world of Frostpunk.

New London 1858Oct 21, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/fff1b260a0c524e7b4607cce246ce0a01ecfd6ac.jpg Hi everyone, This is an appreciation post for one of Frostpunk fans from Korea, Eddy Choi (EddychoiBP) who also happens to be an architecture student. The game has served as the basis for Eddy's architectural reconstruction of London. We found his work very interesting and thought you might enjoy it as well. Below you can read an introduction written by the author: "London has frozen. After the sedation period from the 14th century, in the early 19th century, the earth's CO2 decreased, resulting in severe cold. The atmosphere was destroyed and strong winds in the stratosphere washed down into the troposphere, destroying everything and trapping it in ice. Londoners who fled to the alpine regions decided to return to the city due to the rapid increase in population density, and London, which eventually collapsed due to excessive industrialization, began to rebuild the city radically by using steam engines as a civilization. Set in 1858, we propose a radical reconstruction of London based on steam engines, which is a major civilization of the First Industrial Revolution, and the theory of Laugier's primitive hearth. The existing building designed by Frostpunk was reinterpreted from an architectural point of view. Analyzing the relationship between the number of sunspots and the Earth's axis of rotation, a new ice age scenario was written. A radial city is planned based on London's urban planning methodology and the movement of heat. It adds a new story that every building in London freezes and extend a new building on the roof. The theoretical background of the Londoners' new glacial datum is suggested by citing the concept of a primitive hearth in Marc-Antoine Laugier, “Laugier’s three elements of architecture”. Based on this logic, all new buildings were designed by default, combining a primitive hut consisting of horizontal beams, vertical columns, and pediments with London's First Industrial Revolution, steam engines, and the material and morphological features of the time. Each building unit changes its kinetic characteristics according to its function and moves according to the direction of the sun in common. The steam engine was directly cited and used in urban typology, as shown in Frostpunk. At the nodule point of the city of London, a huge steam engine, which is the center of the city and the main power, is deployed, which shapes a hearth, a community living base. Londoners, where everything is frozen due to the Big Ice Age, live with the sound and smell of intense irons built on the glacier." {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/8448b6d35fa6b97f963a8b4e55e0d8d90ca6465d.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/33691e70485840a4e02ed591c20940d0143b0297.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/4ffe4637c8d42f3a887cfa5220d2877cd71a2d96.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/12e80be258d837d052ba75b3f8c6fb3d9a75888c.jpg Here you can download Eddy's projects for additional notes and details: PDF download (lar...Patch 1.6.2 out now!Oct 11, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/a83c7c7a19ef113ea7263c797a45e6dc345d4e95.jpg Hello Citizens, A new patch has been released for Frostpunk.
