-- Media about Frostpunk --
"(...) this is a game about finding reasons to survive rather than just the means to go on living."
- Adam Smith, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
"In a steampunk ice age, the only thing that can be crueler than the bitter cold are the decisions you have to make to keep your people alive."
- Stephanie Chan, VentureBeat
"(...) decisions push your morality to its limits for the sake of productivity, which could make for an captivating, draining adventure when the game releases later this year."
- Suriel Vazquez, Game Informer

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

Because I thought the same, and want to spitball a hypothesis before playing the game, I'd say it's because if the north is where it's already cold before the snows engulfed the Earth, that's where you'd find the Furnaces already being built. They were already needed there, so everyone heads towards them instead of trying to install them further south.

I feel like this game is a tribute to humanity's determination for survival. Its a testament to our strength and intelligence to fight the cold clutches of death. Our machines are products of our enginuity, and our enginuity will keep us warm, will keep us alive. Humanity's greatest achievement is imagination. Combine imagination with the passion and will for survival, we will hold fast against death. Our darkest hours often create the greatest triumphs. Frostpunk is an artwork dedicated to our will to cling to life, and that artwork is beautifully imagined. Bravo, 11 Bit, bravo.

I noticed that it was being sold with the Victorian edition, but I already bought the game and, as much as I would personally be willing to give you guys more money, my parents aren't so keen on that idea. Basically, my question is this: do you guys sell that book separately as well? I've looked everywhere and I can find nothing. Thanks for any help you guys can give!

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

This really makes me want an animated (or otherwise) series about a last city. Not Snowpiercer or The Colony, a steampunk city struggling to survive. A cruel world of paranoid people and surprisingly, a classless society (that setup has been done enough, so not poor Vs rich, more multifaceted). The series could go into incredible detail about living in a frozen world for the sake of world-building. I would assume that the environment would be unlike anything in our world so Inuit and Eskimo traditions wouldn't entirely be recommended. The show would follow a few characters as we explore their motivations. The old gruff and depressed woman who remembers stories about the old world (400 years since and true technology is not present because of necessity, unreliability and paranoia in the decades since the apocalypse). Older citizens have almost given up hope of returning to warmth and younger generations do not care for the past. They were born into an acceptance of peril and live heartily for their short, hardy lives must be sweet. Their isn't much of a wealth disparity or ruling class, however, each role has benefits and drawbacks: Engineers are prized and applauded but any wrongdoing that hurts the machines is treated with harsh punishment. City Guard are brutal yet cowardly, volunteering to avoid leaving city safety. Deliverymen live even shorter lives, dying in the waste or later, from injury and icelung (the cold freezes their lungs). Most people live deep in "The Well" and conditions are worse toward the surface. The hearth gives warmth to the entire city but is beginning to age, a secret kept by the engineers for fear of being punished and Of spreading a panic. The Engineer's believe they are the only ones who can fix the issues and work tirelessly/hopelessly to save the city before the secret gets out. Radio is almost impossible with the raging storms above and sound is the most common method of communication, through televoice pipes in dwellings or foghorns signalling morning, assembly and delivery. There are other players who have their own motivations: controlling the black market, restarting expeditions to find a new harbour, scientists trading morals for evolution, utilitarian scholars preaching the many over the few. Then Vs Now. The series would explore themes of morality, sacrifice, hope, division, happiness. When no option is good enough, which consequence is better? Basically, the series would be a Frostpunk playthrough formed into a narrative for people to watch and the choices are driven by different characters, not one player, conflicting and compounding with each other. One group wants to leave the city, this will hurt the survival of the city. One person cannot make a necessary choice because it would make them hypocritical. I really want this as a book/series. Please, someone see this and make it happen.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

I'd love to see that too. A big budget Game of Thrones style series would be perfect for this. Honestly, one of the biggest challenges in running such a city is something that game didn't deal with since it only covers a short time span: Managing your natural population growth. Just imagine the nightmare of trying to keep your population from increasing too fast in a world with long days of hard labor, very few recreational activities, and no birth control. Every woman that gets pregnant is someone who is cut off from the labor force for nearly a year at least, and every new infant born means more people and resources have to be diverted to full-time parenting duties.

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

@@TheStapleGunKid Ye, it could follow several characters and have one or two decade-long time skips for each season. I like shorter series so I'd say 3 seasons and the 'main' character is only a kid for the first season or if you do 4 seasons, they aren't born yet. We skip to see them in a rebellious phase and later when they are a parent and settled in. Other characters have died but a few of the focus group are still alive by the end of the show as we have narrowed down to the most important storyline, the fate of the city.

"We knew the cost of our journey...... and we've paid the price ... .... a hundred times." This trailer....my heart... Many died on this journey. Yet the way they say is mean that these deaths are not "a" price that was paid. Each life mattered. "Each" life lost was "a" grim price that they had to pay to reach their destination. They paid a hundred times, each time was as devastating as the others. This really shows the magnitude of their care for life, for each other. Even more so, the magnitude of hope they have for the destination.

Manage the dreadnoughts journeys across the frostlands, gathering food and fuel, collecting scrap metal and steam cores to repair the dreadnought when it breaks down, guiding it through rough terrain, scouting out safe routes for the dreadnought to take, locate cities both successful, failed, and collapsing to take on refugees and drop them off, salvage automatons to help streamline dreadnought functions and more.

One group wants to leave the city, this will hurt the survival of the city. One person cannot make a necessary choice because it would make them hypocritical. I really want this as a book/series. Please, someone see this and make it happen.

[@MClapYourHands]

The themes in this game are just too good! Humanity's resolve. Our ingenuity. Our will to survive not just as individuals, but as a species and communities. The immense strength of a determined and/or hopeful group of people. The balance of survival and keeping what humanity is within us. Not to mention the game itself is great.

[@kukurazin8321]

I just don't know what it is but every time I see trailers of this game and listen to "the city must survive" I have tears in my eyes. This is literally only thing that made me cry in last couple of years. And at this point all I think is that this masterpiece is actually made for it. Made to touch cold hearts with even colder storm of feelings. True art that reaches the deepest corners of minds of those people who almost forgot how to feel something that can make them cry.

[@txeemo6946]

This is one of those games/entertainment where you wish you could erase it from your memory, only to enjoy it again. The build up was so beautiful and the arrival of the storm, absolutely perfect. I cant remember if this music was playing during the final event but my god it felt like it was. Watching all the warning messages pinging like crazy and all you could say was hang in there everyone! We can do this. Masterpiece

[@drorsheffer1182]

Just the sights of the people barely walking, about to collapse at every moment is enough to convey the feeling of the game. You're not building and thriving, you're surviving. The city MUST survive!

[@kluocduoc9835]

Downloading the game right now and by watching the trailer I got goosebumps. Such an amazing game you guys have put together. Looking forward to keeping the generator burning!

Unlike GOT, Frostpunk is the story where the line "Winter is Coming" actually has significance.

Thanks a lot, Andre! :o

It is a pleasure!

Here after the Frostpunk 2 announcement

[@Epic0201]

I gotta say, the game itself is amazing, but what really makes it splendid are the soundtracks used... The music in this game is jaw dropping good, i can't play or even just watch gameplay of this game without finding myself having the same feeling as watching an epic movie. Really, this music has the same effect as the one used in Dunkirk.

[@11bitstudios]

Thjank you SO much! Music was created by one and only Piotr Musiał - be sure to check out his other projects as well! He's a great, talented guy!

[@bokute2020]

Hear me hear me a new law has been signed you must buy this game :D You must be the people's new faith and keep te city survive

[@11bitstudios]

Yes, Sir!

[@TheAmbientThinker]

Bought it the second it went on sale. Can't wait to get home to play.

[@11bitstudios]

Wonderful, thank you!

[@polyz911]

11 bit studios Thank you for awesome game. Got it second it went on sale.

[@Yeeren]

I beat the main scenario twice now. At first, going in blind and new to the mechanics, I had to resort to brutal means to secure the survival of the city, and still only barely achieved it. The second time, knowing what was coming and being far more familiar with the tools at my disposal, I brought my people not only survival, but peace, pride and even prosperity. Yet even after all that, this trailer/cinematic gives me absolute goosebumps at the end. The music, voice-over and artwork are just awesome and so evocative together.

[@saltyyf1802]

Those who show up to school even when there's 3 feet of snow: "We paid the price... a *HUNDRED* times!"

Sir , it's been 1 hour since I held this beer ... Are you gonna drink it or not ?

[@cailco100]

Lee Donghae he might have been lynched by his citizens or banished from the city. So It's all yours

[@magurmaas]

I got Frostpunk for free on epic. Playing it a few hours, I realized the devs deserve my money. Literally just a few hours later I bought the game on steam and still playing it today. Although, I don't have much hours on it but these days I've been playing like an addict. Can't wait for Frostpunk 2. The city must not fall!

[@abject_fail]

This game is without a doubt one of the very best I have ever played in my entire life. I even bought my friend a copy and he just texted me that he can’t put it down :-)

[@MistrShepherd]

Капитан, вы выпустили отличную игру, вызвавшую волну шуток про суп с опилками, вспышек Веры и Порядка, 24-часовых работ и просто мемов. Недовольство сильно упало. Надежда сильно выросла.

[@inforcegame3210]

Это притча, а не игра!

[@C-infinity24]

Captain is Happy?

[@ab123110]

My first city lost 400 souls. My second lost barely any people. So happy playing this game and becoming better at it!

[@Varza]

The dreadnoughts in the trailer are so freaking cool. Please somehow add these in-game in the future... Maybe a scenario where you have to build one and move to another city? I'd wet myself (then freeze myself).

[@Agyrius]

Wait you make a dreadnought in that scenario? I thought it was a "How Long Can You Survive?" Scenario.

[@agustinsmania5270]

I still come back to this just for that sweet "the city must survive" part at 1:38 the fact that i plays at the intro and at what is basically the end is just so perfect

[@vladimirpain3942]

You created something rare in our days. The game that is uniqe, smart, challenge and fun. Also, I never skipped intro. Could not do such thing to myself. I cannot wait for FP2, my hope is on maximum.

[@damnskippy1988]

They created a awesome game..... hope rises and discontent falls.

[@galvetheirondragon1929]

This was on playstation now a while ago, and when I played it, I fell in love with the music and design. When I played the game itself, I was blown away by how good this game was! I knew the cost of the game, and I would pay for it a 100 times.

Glad to hear that! :)

This trailer makes me wish for a movie or even better. A series based on this game

I could not agree more. I vote for series. Snowpiercer comes to mind yet this sounds like it would make a better movie/series.

The most atmospheric game ever, I was totally immersed in it and you could really FEEL the cold and the struggle, love especially that your screen itself get frozen over in the corners and you can hear the crackling of the ice and the chilling frostbitten winds. Adore this game!! I only want more and more and dont want the game to end

[@vaclavnovacek1035]

Biggest gaming surprise of this year. Worth every penny. Hope there will be a sequel :)

What i really like is music. One main theme, played differently, makes me cry about child froze to death or smile to morning sunshine. Games like that are the reasons why video games are equal to art, so thank you for it.

[@lilycha9398]

I hope Frostpunk gets a movie in the future, that way other people who don't play games can know of this masterpiece.

It's downloading as I'm waqtching this video. I'm so excited to play your new game!

[@creamysmooth79]

Outstanding game, and worthy of the praise it has been receiving. 11 bit studios have earned themselves some serious respect from me, not just from Frostpunk, but the Anomaly series and This war of mine as well. Great to see there are still some Devs out there making fantastic games that are worthy of supporting.

[@11bitstudios]

Thank you so much - these kind of words mean a world to us!
