[@yuyangjin4192]

n fact, the simplest point is that players can accurately grasp all the publicly available details in the game, such as resources, population, etc. If you want to play reality, first put a mosaic on the statistics column above, such as wood:??? Coal:??? Or your staff lies, give you fake data, let the player not know that true data. Looking at the weather forecast, the storm is coming tomorrow, and the technology you have arranged can study+1 heat tonight. With thousands of coal inventories, you feel very safe. The storm arrived early that night, but the technology was not fully researched. It turned out that the staff had falsely reported the progress. So you ordered the overload to be activated, but unexpectedly the tower was about to explode! These days, they have secretly lowered the thermal level of the tower and turned on overload, just to save coal and give you a nice data figure! Fear swept through, and people began to blindly demolish all the facilities they could see, futilely reinforcing their houses and looting the warehouse supplies. You tried to call the guards to stop them, but you were horrified to find that the guards were also among the crowd. You are very desperate, pulling out your handgun in an attempt to stop their suicidal behavior, but the angry crowd roars at you, "You incompetent and foolish leader, you are going to kill all of us!" They approached you and beat you until seven or eight bones were broken. They took off your clothes and wanted to hang you under the energy tower. As suffocation and drowsiness spread, the final scene you see is people starting to kill each other, just for those few wooden boards or a can. If it were me, I would definitely be very desperate.

[@xenamorphwinner7931]

The changing of the motto is actually an interesting idea. The first game’s “The city must survive” encapsulated the feeling of being alone in the frozen wastes, that your survival was not guaranteed, people needed hope to live another day, recourses are scarce and if you won’t make any decision, rash or otherwise, you are guaranteed to be frozen and forgotten by everything and the nature, god, gods themselves. Now, after 30 years, after the storm, the city is no longer trying to just exist, it needs to thrive, the old class divisions return as society is getting set in place, the almost unquestionable word of the captain ends, as people no longer just look forward to survive, but also looks back at their life and try to see, what can be improved and progress. However not everyone has the same idea and divisions, both wealth and ideological, rise as new recourse shortage comes around: coal. We now have to turn to oil as else the city could and probably will freeze back to 30 years and still there are many who reject the fact due to belief. The city is no longer a small surviving light among the wastes, it’s a a state. It no longer must just survive for another day against the storm, but thrive and not fall to division. THE CITY MUST NOT FALL!

[@francescocolombo899]

excellent analysis.

[@AROAH]

They ought to pay you to write their ad copy dang

[@Demicleas]

Speaking of statehood wonder if in this game or any future iteration or dlc there will be a war of some kind, weather that be ideological or for resources with other smaller factions or even other city's. We almost had that in the last dlc with the outpost rebellion and the small factions surrounding it, so it's not like it's out of the question.

[@gastonbell108]

"that your survival was not guaranteed, people needed hope to live another day, recourses are scarce and if you won’t make any decision, rash or otherwise, you are guaranteed to be frozen and forgotten" Yeah, that's kinda central to what I liked about the first game. With respect, I'm kinda hoping your prediction for 2 is wrong, because I already own a lot of steampunk Civ-like city management games, and none of them have any sense of the grittiness and frigid fear of the first game. Sitting behind a desk analyzing spreadsheets tends to do that.

Don't jinx it. It's been delayed a lot. I'm waiting for the game to release before I make my judgement on it...

[@sam23696]

The new building mechanics look very impressive to me. The first game being about individual buildings I didn't really see how a second game could expand on that idea. But increasing the level of abstraction and building entire zones of buildings is a great way to do that. I really love the idea of having a much larger sprawling city, with areas of poor people, workers, wealthier people, maybe an entire section where you were forced to turn off the heat.

ideas are not far away about what else could be added. Just check how civilization or age of wonders expanded. Also you could check what mods would make a more realistic experience. Politics, AoW could serve as base ideas on orientation (like order vs faith earlier), you could make overlapping rulesets about government. The other big thing is mentioned in this trailer: pollution. I could think of sever systems for handling biowaste, introducing animals (seen any picture from the early 1900's? Full of horses, donkeys, canary birds in mines. It could also expand on being more detailed about each building, like how and what you make in the hothouses, what systems needs to be researched for effectively making rations more diverse. What about making food/ration choices like more meat/veggies/etc? Introducing wind in the city as a system that removes smog/smoke, gardens, parks that can effectively remove some of it. How people's health is, like endurance/strength/mind/sanity for different "roles" of work. Imagine a "worker" (in FrostPunk1) being more detailed or even changing according to what job it works on: miners becoming strong and more enduring about air quality than someone sitting all day in your propaganda center or workshop handling plans of research. They could become shortsighted, being basically unfit for roles as explorers. Or manufacturing of eyeglasses like earlier you were manufacturing implants. What about manufacturing clothing for people? There is much depth if you look closely on the possibilities. The more realistic it feels the harder it gets, the deeper each rabbit hole gets. Balancing playability vs detail is always the key, and they did really well in the first game about keeping us on our toes about all the needs already :) I felt such "just one more turn" feeling too long ago, they handled keeping pressure up damn well already. High hopes for the next one and +1 copy sold at full price.

The challenges and moral dilemmas kept me hooked, making it one of my favorite games. Excitement builds for the sequel as I eagerly anticipate the continuation of this captivating saga.

[@francescocolombo899]

I love the direction that this series is taking. I actually expected to end up like this, it's the natural progression of a society: after a struggle for survival, humans try to establish a permanent institution that guarantees a liveable living (even if usually only for certain classes and social strata). But it isn't just that: people, as intelligent being, have ideals and opinions about how thinghs should work, and then we have political struggle, done in legitimate or illegitimate ways (words that means all of nothing, as we know). Even the last words say a lot about the atmosphere: no more we need to survive, we need to strive and fall behind ever again, the trauma will be too great. In conclusion, as I have seen in the trailer, I expect that Frostpunk 2 will be still focused on mantaining the city funtional, but there will be no autocratic rule as the first game, since it is no longer needed this level of quickness in political decisions. A delicate balance of factions, political parties and organisations of citizens: that is the ultimate challenge.

[@MrAsaqe]

And for a nascent post victory society that had only cast away the institutions of bloodlines and divine right, this is going to be a monumental task

At first I was disliking the amount of Stuarts being said....then I realised, it's because it's the amount of people requesting and demanding YOU the player, to help with the problem. It'll be the most anxiety inducing, but a really fun game. I'm looking forward to it. And I'll be buying via Steam. =)

What I love most about this is how you managed to make a completely new game that still feels so much like the first game. I always had full faith in you guys but this might just exceed my expectations. Can not wait to put 1000 hours into it again in the first few months, just like I did with Frostpunk 1.

[@BLOODRAGEKILLERBUNNY]

I will say this out of the gate, I love FrostPunk. It is an incredible game with a rich and atmospheric story that really gets to me. I have played countless hours in the campaigns, DLCs, and survival. It is a game I can always immerse myself within the world and the people. So a sequel to that will always be hard to top/match. BUT From the gameplay side this trailer gives me some concerns especially the new tile mechanic (districts). To me at least it gives a sense of restricted simplified control and in turn direction of the city. I do not know if this is intentional with the direction of the senate politics and being forced to listen to the people. Its just an uncomfortable step that brings up question marks. The visual style is on point with the frigid cold and impending destruction. The new senate mechanics add more welcome depth to the book of laws. The story events look even more fleshed out. I can not wait to get my hands on the finished game and fall in love with the story all over again. I did not type of this to be hateful, angry, or antagonistic. I am truly passionate about this universe 11 bit studios have created. FrostPunk has always been about the story and atmosphere. As long as that is still there I will love this game.

[@ahmet665906]

What? Impossible! epic trailer never played this series but ill do sure .

[@Dingi-dongi]

I really like the idea of moving from almighty captain to depended steward, from simple survival to polical and social struggle. This game is really not a sequel, but a new game, simply connected with fp1. I played beta and all new mechanics is really exciting, especially when i think bout them in story mode. So many ideologies you can build your society on... Just hope devs will polish the game really fine and will add some feachures, like voices of citizens on pop-up events

Wow, how good Frostpunk 2 looks and at the same time it seems like it's going to be more difficult than the first installment. I love

[@gastonbell108]

Difficulty is relative when it comes to city management. For example, there are many Civ-like games that are intellectually difficult and complex, but not scary or atmospheric at all. Frostpunk 1 was not intellectually difficult or complex, but it was extremely scary and atmospheric. It neither relied nor really benefited from spreadsheet analysis. A lot of people seem to have complained about the small scale and simplified resource management of Frostpunk 1. I agree it had more in common with This War of Mine than Civilization. I'm sincerely hoping that remains the case, because I have lots of complex steampunk Civ-like games already and I like them a lot less than I liked Frostpunk. Frostpunk reduced to bureaucracy will be a frozen banality of horror.

In a day and age where tripple-a game developer studios deliver rushed and unfinished games at launch, which ultimately end up as simplified versions of the initial idea; Frostpunk is one of, if not the only games that delivers upon it's implied and expected promise of a well rounded apporach that encompasses complexity and creativity which encapculates the sheer beauty of the ability to portray emotion and struggle in such a captivating manner.
