Frostpunk - This Apocalypse of Mine

Frostpunk is a game from the creators of This War of Mine, but this time it's an entire city that needs to be kept alive in a post-apocalyptic winter, and there are no easy answers...

Nothing better than watching Jon play games that require perception and morale challenges.

[@Pigmedog]

I know who im supporting as a post apocalypse leader: the person who immediately resorts to child labor!

[@ozzz55]

only safe jobs inside... well they can walk a little outside to fetch wood... ah lite further... lttle further ... GET IN THE WORKHOUSE FILTHY SLAVES

[@commanderbrad1199]

Hey he got us homes ......... for you know half of us

[@commanderbrad1199]

Tom Meakin no communism can work in any situation but in this one it thrives.

[@Darthtanos]

so they're supposed to be sitting there doing nothing when they're able bodied and people are going to die if they don't do what amounts to chores? how's that make sense? in this kind of situation everyone needs to be doing something productive in some capacity.

[@scottcampbell4353]

Having grown up on a farm expecting the children to contribute is not at all controversial, especially in a subsistence survival situation the practical education they receive as part of the work force will be critical to their survival as adults.

[@iamcool544]

Day one Hour 2 - Our leader has demanded all children work in the cook houses. Day one Hour 4 - Our leader has remembered that we need to eat. Day one Hour 5 - Our leader is discontent that we are taking a break Day one Hour 5 - Our leader decides that only half of us deserve shelter and if we want better we should work through the night Day one Hour 7 - Our leader open declares he will only do the bare minimum required for us not to lynch him Day two Hour 4 - Our leader gave one of his child laborers the day off after he got hurt. Day two Hour 7 - Our leader regrets not feeding us sawdust. Day three Hour 1 - Our leader tears a child from his mothers arms and forces him to work in the wood salvage. Day five Hour 1 - I AM STARVING AND COLD HELP ME

[@boringmanager9559]

imagine how stupid everyone else is if this guy is a leader

[@thatcrazydrunk7436]

"This little apocalypse of mine" "I'm gonna let them die" "Let them die" "Let them die" 'let them dieeee"

[@jeroldproductions6367]

ThatCrazyDrunk PHFF there is no shine it is a capitalist plot

[@ericsaulnier7044]

Depends what side of "My Little Apocalypse" you play on!!

[@mrfisher1072]

Jerold Productions the best kind of plot.

[@arsia.]

jon: "getting the children in the cook house, that strikes me as a good idea." and im like, oh no jons gonna turn the children into rations... dont know where my thought gone there

[@ericsaulnier7044]

Children *into* the cookhouse... Did he stutter? :P

[@lodovix9352]

Don't feel bad about the children Jon.. until you send them to work in the coal mine for 14 hours a day..

[@ave789]

as a northerner, can relate

[@uzimyspecial]

Well he is British.

[@1234567paper]

I think a lot of people agree with this, please play more of this mate! It's a super interesting game with a gorgeous art style and concept.

[@KashouWannabe]

This is like a post-apocolyptic version of Banished. Very cool. ;)

[@BRUXXUS]

Watching this made me want to play Banished! haha

[@monkeywrench431]

That is what I was thinking by the 5min mark.

[@MrBananafanatic]

Well it wasn't post-apocolyptic that was untill they elected John to be their leader.

[@matteblack5805]

It's not cool. It's fucking cold!

[@aesrys]

Booooooo! :D

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

"I might possibly be a monster" embrace it.....EMBRACE IT!

[@memelord1825]

Please play more of this

[@theoneduckson2312]

Anyone else notice the -20 on the global temperature? Typical Minnesota winter. Canadians know what's up.

[@thebpphantom]

Yeah, that's not a big deal. Like, it's cold, but not COLD cold.

[@suborbitalprocess]

New Law: Build Hockey Rink (Hope is maxed, unless Toronto Maple Leafs play)

[@AnonEyeMouse]

bpphantom It's cold enough if you're just sat around a boiler with no shelter.

[@thebpphantom]

Go for a walk. Unless they're in light spring jackets or something, -20 is very workable. -40? Getting irksome.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

bpphantom -40 Celsius is the point at which wolves fall over dead. A touch more than irksome.

[@treeshakertucker5840]

This game reminds me of the this war of mine soundtrack these cold days.

[@HIGHTOWERX1000]

This looks awesome :D hope we get a play through but if not will be definitely tempted to buy it when it's out :)

[@GG-dt5hh]

This seems like a video game version of the board game 'Dead of Winter' combined with a city builder.

[@mantaszimbls8533]

"-20c that's extremely cold" in my country that's considered a minor chill in the begining of winter

[@McCbobbish]

Watching this with a bowl of warm soup and a mug of tea. I feel a bit guilty....

[@nanObytez-kb5ru]

So, while he can do math he seems to have convinced himself that one hunter's hut providing food for (at the very lucky most) 52 people might just be enough. I guess he can always process those surplus survivors into iguana bits xD

[@jet-fury]

I appreciate how you laid out your reasoning for most decisions other KZbinrs that I've seen that covered this game didn't really go through that and just sort of assumed people already have prior knowledge of the game

[@Kitto0]

Holy shit , never wanted a strategy game so badly.this looks so good

[@BattleUnit3]

We are low on resources! Jon: SEND IN THE CHILDREN!

[@silverswordsmith5424]

Wow, I REALLY like the artwork. I'm gonna keep an eye on this game.

[@papermachetunes8089]

I really hope this game goes farther than the developers think. I really think this could be made into an awesome franchise. For example, I think a survival or survival horror game in this universe would be insanely awesome

[@tpbloomfield]

You kind of have to get that beacon going to get more people, so you have people to put into more jobs - use the beacon to get the people to fill another hunter lodge and your food problems become far less of an issue (10 people there, up to 20 raw food, even on normal rations that's up to 30 rations spare after those 10 have had theirs).

[@ham_the_spam4423]

I feel like this was influenced by Snow Piercer, with the generator being the thing that keeps everyone alive like how the Eternal engine keeping the train moving and warmed

[@ericsaulnier7044]

"For what could equal the value of a human soul...?" About 8 to 9 MJ/kg or so... Alternatively, about 8 Million USD per person (or soul)

[@wishmenot1813]

This is a very early build???? The game looks awesome

[@thomasesr]

Omg this is a Megaton City Builder!

[@danarnold8989]

please make this a series

[@digispectromon10]

You know what Jon, maybe if you had build roads at start you could've helped the people to gather the resources quickly and you also get already settle those for the outer buildings... Dunno if it could've helped but... Just an idea of mine ^^

[@marcusl8602]

The roads would all have been one way with no way back to the city centre.

[@ericsaulnier7044]

The road's would've looked like a massive dong by accident... See: City Skylines

[@Smi7h1sH3r3]

damnit jon, you keep making me want to buy more games damnit...... gawd this looks cool.....i mean, bad....BAD DAMNIT!!!!

[@jaketheberge1970]

Of course the kids are not as effective. Damn freeloaders have zero job experience.

[@decus9544]

The solution is obvious! Entry level positions should need at least 2 years job experience! Just like in the real world! ... *shakes head in despair*

[@raptorcell6633]

Fucking kids!

[@BrooksSligh]

This looks great. Followed, ready to buy as soon as it is publicly available.

[@mr.somebodymr.nobody8384]

make a series out of this game please jon

[@Alius187]

FInally^^ been waiting to see you lead those people to their frozen graves :D

[@lou1958]

I'm immediately sold. They should just open it up on Steam ASAP for at least a demo. Interesting and imaginative gameplay and production.

[@jeroldproductions6367]

Well that's just an interesting title

[@someguy9422]

Thanks for being a gaming channel that isn't interchangeable with all the other ones and doesn't yell 24/7.

[@PJChattyman]

I'm not much into City builders but wow, I need this one.

[@jeroldproductions6367]

OMG I just realised how cool a "this war of mine" combat game would be. Imagine it a ruined city fighting through it like Yugoslavia or or a former soviet state maybe an Easter egg where a the house is found with the people inside the achievement could be "war crimes" yeah I went there "moral choice" is still something I want.

[@bmcentral7751]

its called fallout/stalker

[@ericsaulnier7044]

A recent post-soviet state's "Easter egg" would probably put you on a list, pretty much anywhere...

[@jeroldproductions6367]

Eric Saulnier Or in a UN court facing charges Ps. I can't say war crime well I can but there are worse versions of it

[@rman88]

ya just got to add this. you should really build 2 hunters huts. it is clear 1 wont cut it for 80 people. even with the upgrade. as it seems you need at least 2 to 3 to supply a kitchen with enough food to gain a surplus of food.

[@nghusband]

Great find Jon, thanks for showing this I will be picking this up once it is out for sure.

[@Khalmidgar]

This games pretty brutal, starts you over with very little and immediate hard choices.

[@coachk8004]

Using that strat you can build houses (not tents) on the 2nd ring, so you can keep the most vital facilities closest to the gen. Augment the oyher ring with boilers and gen power upgrades.

[@sheilafal7209]

i really wanna try this game, love the way that u can build the city, in an enviroment survival and plus, rule with the consecuences of what u choose . many thnx for share the video, cant wait for play this , thnx^^

[@keaganwyatt6790]

Loved This War of Mine, this looks awesome too! Will get when it comes out

[@peterschmalz1229]

this is awesome. please sir may i have some more?

[@coco_bruce6277]

It's just soup? It's JUST soup?!?!?! I fucking love soup my good sir!!!

[@elijahgipson2586]

Does the logo remind you of the sleeping dogs logo?

[@wongyide7036]

Contentment and hope as priorities, I really think people would be smarter than in an apocalypse situation.

[@SnowyK]

This is when building snow caves would be warmer

[@Chickidydow]

this looks fucking incredible

[@jacobgarrison1510]

I'm gonna love this game!

[@alberttetley]

really good looking game and interesting concept

[@MRRJ6549]

Please continue this John :)

[@warrenbearden3236]

God that’s a great band game

[@nanosum1]

This game looks really cool! Great survival game. I especially like the Book of Laws options.

[@matteblack5805]

No shit it looks cool. It's -20 Celsius

[@viewman86]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this game, but wouldn't it make sense to build only tents right by the generator where the warmth is high/consistent?

[@blakewashburn8463]

looks really cool, cant wait for it to come out

[@bomarley5024]

"extremely cold -20 degrees" lol

[@coachk8004]

No one I've seen playing this game views it from how one would do if the world was wrecked and you needed to do what it takes to survive... Seems that rather than build at a slow pace you rush rss by uping work hours then focus on what will sustain grow. For the 1st 10 days seems like that would 3 hungers to ensure you have a supply of food; 3 (or more) scouts tobring in rss boosta; 2 med cntrs to keep folks well; rushing the tech tree that will enable more stable rss production. If a few die from overwork that sac is ok as scouts bring in new ppl. But you cant view a strat for surviving cold when you are fed and comfy!

[@shortbreadhead]

this game looks great so far, just a little into the video at the moment so... I'm really hoping I don't see any in game purchase bullshit and we can go back to the days of good old stuff like Dungeon Keeper and so on... God I hope so.

[@ericshane7]

I prepose this game be given another series after its fully released.

[@MrWeedWacky]

Aww, I wanted to try this game, looks like a very interesting city-builder/survival game. But apparantly it is not available yet.

[@ex3670]

The game is out now!

[@francisduharte6490]

yes please do more!

[@patwinsvlogs4690]

I thought this was a war game in the cold (I'm a fucking moron)

[@jackmaney4276]

Just got the GOTY of this game on sale. It's harder than it looks.

[@kiseki4947]

reminds me of "Banished"

[@TALLPANZER]

I like this game.

[@Gabirilos]

Really interesting. Would like to see more x)

[@VyseRogue13]

At least the children aren't being sent to the kitchen and not coming back out.

[@ArthurEKing8472]

Just for your information, -40 doesn't matter if it's C or F. it's the same temperature! (math is a wonderful thing!)

[@Vineor]

God i need this game in my life so fucking badly QQ

[@JugglerRK]

I wANT THIS GAME!!!!!!!

[@Foogi9000]

Cool title but i prefer this war of mine because it feels more personal you get to know the characters and help them survive.

[@joshuabates6842]

This War of Mine: AKA- No Matter WHAT you do 90% of your people will be dead after the ending. Seriously. No matter what I did they would kill themselves or give up and die in the end credits.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Yeah, no? I beat the game with no deaths. You just have to get better at scavenging, mate. Once you get good there, you can take care of most problems no problem.

[@joshuabates6842]

I had no deaths in game. But during the credits, they ended up committing suicide or being killed. I played it safe one game, but somehow half the folks still committed suicide in the credit stories.

[@Saviliana]

That is no apocalypse, that is just a regular day to day life at northern poland at winter during 1941.

[@EbramGuant]

Patroling the Mojave kinda makes you wish for a Nuclear..oh wait..

[@Sheghostly]

Anyone know some games like this? I'm digging the moral dubiousness and I don't think I can wait until 2018 to play it D:

[@fjparasitemoreira1354]

The best name for the city ICE CREAM!!!!!!

[@raelcruz5909]

"Yeah. Eat snow.." hahaha wtf?

[@halwakka504]

How does eating soup cause discontent? Soup is great!

[@ericsaulnier7044]

-20 degrees Celsius "Extremely cold" hahahahahahaha

[@thenedoriiistewardofrondog6965]

Eric Saulnier It is literally freezing, even for a Briton it's a bit peaky don't you think?

[@Kankersteen]

Implying that -20 degrees Celsius is not cold, wow man you're so badass

[@RustyDust101]

Hah, I've been trudging through hip-deep snow, over the hill, 10 km just to get to school in my childhood, bare-foot, in my underpants... at - 40°C... hah, -20°C... that was a freakin' holiday... who am I kidding. :D

[@uzimyspecial]

Do you also wrestle bears with your bare hands?

[@nanObytez-kb5ru]

That's where the phrase "Look, mom! No hands!" starts to take on entirely different meanings.

[@BRUXXUS]

Are British children taught to pronounce LAW and LORE the same way? I'm actually curious. I think I'm more used to hearing Jon say lore so every time he said law I was confused.

[@raulprima]

Not the same pronounciation. Kinda hard to explain the difference through text though.

[@jasondarland2383]

You should revisit Frostpunk

[@hedgehog3180]

Basically a Siege of Leningrad simulator.

[@SirZeu]

its extremly cold its -20c... meanwhile as a canadian i put on a sweater

[@ellingsindre2485]

Damn, this game looks just great! Any info about release date?

[@Richer_97]

Can we have more of this if you enjoy it?

[@lucasparis7284]

Do i have to deploy a welcome matt?

[@matteblack5805]

I doubt I would be welcoming, but why not?

[@lucasparis7284]

This is a reference to a character in Rainbow six called Frost that that deploys Welcome matts

[@Draconisrex1]

I am totally jealous.

[@ethanwoody2076]

Wow!? Good show Man!?

[@Rateus_Johanson]

What's your problem with soup? Soup is great!

[@LocoMe4u]

Meanwhile in canada everyone's wondering why winter is slightly longer than usual...

[@miamor5929]

how did you download it ?? i cant on steam?

[@brentknickerbocker6023]

I'm like one minute in and I hate this. Who the fuck, in a frozen apocalypse, puts there city into a cold sink.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

I would think it removes the wind chill factor, no? I'm of the impression that the weather is fucked in that steampunk world so the general temperatures are just low all around. But with wind chill it's just going to be twice as bad.

[@cearl9020]

More ?

[@erikahl7934]

-23 in Russia =summer

[@commanderbrad1199]

Hey I like soup

[@azzurax]

where did you download this game

[@myssledissle]

Good afternoon ladies and gentleman I'm Jon this is Many A True Nerd and welcome to/welcome back to __________
