You may have seen this huge Splot, crafted by our writer Maija, on our blog before. We received a question about what it was made of. As it happens, Maija had some pictures left from when she was making it, so here you go. You’ll find Maija’s comments below the pics. The statue started off as a big flat piece of chicken wire, which I transformed into the shape of Splot. On top of the wire was laid a thin newspaper paper maché base to attach the wet wool on. Here are some of the tools I used: – breathing […]
It’s time for part 3 in our “Day in the Life of” blog series. This time we’ll talk about writing! Click here for part 1 (QA) and part 2 (Design). Game writing as a full-time profession is still quite rare. Here at Frozenbyte we currently have one writer, Maija, who’s been with us for over four years now. She started here by writing the stories of Trine 2 and its Goblin Menace expansion (which together form Trine 2: Complete Story). Now she’s been busy with Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, which is currently available on Early Access on Steam […]

There’s a new Humble Weekly Bundle out called Leading Ladies 2! It includes our very own Trine 2: Complete Story and a bunch of other great games such as Lumino City, Hack’n’Slash, A City Sleeps, The Marvellous Miss Take, Gravity Ghost, and Sunset.

If you want to try games that we haven’t released yet and happen to live or be in Finland, now might be your chance! The idea is to get feedback and some fresh perspective on our games before their official releases. This means that we invite some people over to spend a few hours at our office playing games and perhaps engaging in some friendly chatter. The playtest sessions are relatively short – so this is not a paid position nor is this a job add (if you’re looking for work, head over to our Jobs page instead!). However, those […]
