I believe there is some big reveal still in front of us so be sure to check it out! The effort and dedication put into this project by their team resulted in an awesome, high speed and high stakes game for all fans of Mad Max, Carmageddon and all things postapocalyptic. Our dear friends, with whom we’ve cooperated on a few occasions and hope to do so again, from The Knights Of Unity (they are a software house but almost every person there is a gamer and they specialize in making video game projects in Unity – hence the name □) brewed some high petrol cocktail! I’ve had a chance to see this game personally when it was still a cool concept with a ton of work in front of them. Enjoy the summer and take care, we will see you next month! It seems that’s all for today dear Frostlanders! We tried to have this update shorter, but it seems we failed again, hope you are getting used to it □. Wooden components for the core box and for the Frostlander expansion are also in the mass production stage. Here you can see a part of the Generator walls’ form: Our manufacturer is creating the forms for the plastic components. Meanwhile we will finish the texts on the cards that will follow the same procedure as the rulebook. Once this stage is finished the translation will begin so that the language partners can begin working on their files as soon as they get translated. In its current state it is easier for us to explain stuff or simply to work on the document along with others. We wanted to give them the chance to get to know the text better as well as the game itself and ask any initial questions or remarks before it goes to print. The rulebook itself is nearly ready – we’d like to thank you all for a ton of very useful feedback and notes that significantly influenced the quality of the final text! The file itself is being given a first readthrough by the translators who will be responsible for creating the localized versions. We’re planning to finish the tests for the scenarios by the end of the month so that we can finish their descriptions by the next month and put them into the rulebook. Here is a sneak peek from the scenario testing that you have not seen before - The Arks (setup Frozen Grove): Same goes for the setups and scenarios that are ready. As you keep squeezing juices from the core scenario (over 8,5k unique users!) and keep sending us some very interesting feedback (your collective win ratio on the Hard Difficulty level is currently 18%), our testers are focusing on the Starting Society cards (taking into account the results you’ve provided from the aforementioned playthroughs) in order to make sure the difficulty level is not too high (no such term in Adam’s dictionary) nor too low. After the big makeover we did in March we’ve addressed the issue of the size of the components and their position on the table and we’re eagerly awaiting to test those changes on physical components that have the right size!Īs the production progresses so does the never-ending interest in playing the Frostpunk: The Board Game module on Tabletop Simulator. The previous prototypes were too big and took too much space on the table, making the whole experience a bit clumsy. Naturally the physical copies of the prototype we are producing will serve not only to present the looks but will also allow us to make some final test of the UX. We will also record an inhouse gameplay video with the physical prototype using all the preproduction components we received from our manufacturer! We are certain that we will be able to share the pictures of the printed prototype with you come next update! We will show you the core game in all its glory with preproduction meeples and the Generator and all the miniatures. Finally, the burnt dust from laser cutting needs to be cleaned and the components sorted to their categories. Once the sheets are printed, they need to be layered (the printouts are glued and fitted to cardboard in order to give it sufficient thickness and volume, then they need to dry and be cut out to form (the cutting is not done as in mass production with special blades but with a laser ). It is a rather tedious and time-consuming process - for the project of our scale especially so. The prototype is being produced as you read these words.
