It is here, the day you have all been waiting for… Finally you have a chance to win Nine Parchments game key for Steam! Instructions in the end of this post, which is also this year’s last Yuletide entry. So, how was Christmas, hopefully super relaxing? As you might have noticed we had a digital Christmas card on our social media. I hope that it is still okay to post this as Christmas already passed, but new year is just around the corner and as Xmas trees are up I think it’s still rather relevant. 😊 I hope that many […]

Welcome to the fourth entry of Frozenbyte Yuletide Calendar! 🎅 During December we have already talked about Nine Parchments, Has-Been Heroes and how to become a game designer (with Shadwen pictures). So, what about our Trine heroes, what have they been up to after the release of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power? They have been busy making cameos to our other games, and Zoya already did a quick visit to the second Yuletide entry. More about the heroes, and also about Astral Academy below! Whole trio indeed appears in the free expansion we released for the Has-Been Heroes last […]
Time for another Yuletide Calendar entry, and remember to comment! This week’s theme comes with a small story: In the beginning of year 2017 we received an actual letter from one lovely fan from Russia (thanks a lot!). In the letter there were three questions on game design and how to become a designer. Four of our designers answered these questions and in this third Yuletide entry we are going to share half of these secrets with you as well. Enjoy. 😁 The pictures are from our stealth game, Shadwen! What should I learn for now, that could be useful […]
Time for the second entry of Frozenbyte Yuletide Calendar 2017! A lot happened during this week. Nine Parchments was released, Finland celebrated its 100th birthday (grats!), and Frozenbyte turned 16 years old! Unfortunately we are going to keep it short this time due to Nine Parchments launch hustle. Not talking about Nine Parchments’ this time, but I want to quickly thank you all for your nice feedback and support. If you need any help with the game, don’t hesitate to contact us. You can find our contact information here. Today’s topic is Has-Been Heroes. I wanted to show you concept […]
It’s December already! Time really flies when you’re having fun, or if you just have a million things to do… anyway let’s go to the point! We know how much you guys loved our Christmas Calendar last year (or at least the chance to win codes for our games). Unfortunately at the moment the Support team, or make it the whole Frozenbyte company, is super busy with getting Nine Parchments ready. This is why we decided to go with quality over quantity this year, meaning that during December we will have a weekly Yuletide calendar instead. Our version will be […]
It’s time for a monthly report! As you may have guessed we have been quite busy with Nine Parchments and other projects. And no, we still don’t have news about the release date. So hang in there, we’ll tell you the date as soon as we have one! Meanwhile it’s good to check what we have been up to! 😊 Firstly we do have smaller news about Nine Parchments: Redonkulous Gaming released an interview that they had with our marketing lead. The interview is in two parts, so remember to read both. First part is about Frozenbyte in general, and […]
Holidays 2017 are almost behind the corner, and so is the release date for Nine Parchments. This means that now is last chance to playtest Nine Parchments here at our office in Finland. You can fill out the application form from here, but I recommend reading through this post first. 🙂 What is playtesting? We are interested to hear what individuals from outside the company think about our games. This is why we invite players to our office to play our games and give us feedback and fresh perspective to them. Right now we are testing Nine Parchments, but next […]
August was a busy month! A lot happened, especially compared to the few previous months. And from this, I bet the most exciting thing for many players was the moment when we announced that Amadeus is a playable character in Nine Parchments. How many of you saw this coming? 😉 Nine Parchments team probably had most of the pressure here with our QA team, as they prepared the game’s demo build to Gamescom and PAX West. Also our marketing team was super busy due to these events, below is a bit about their journey. First, three of our guys drove […]
June has gone past and the summer vacation season is going! That means that there isn’t that much going on at the office at the moment but below are some highlights for you guys. And let’s start with that even though it’s summer, we’re actually still waiting for the summer weather, 15 Celsius degrees isn’t a summer on my scale. Regardless we did have a nice barbeque party which included soda and burgers. Unfortunately we have no pictures from the party as it was raining a bit, or support team might have been too busy eating the burgers. One of […]
It’s finally time for a new monthly update for May! 😊 First of all I’d like to mention that as said in our previous blog post about Nine Parchments, we’ll be showing the game in Magnology! This game and manga convention will be held in Hamburg, Germany from today, June 9th to 11th. So if you’re near the area, please stop by! In that same post we announced that the game will also land on Nintendo Switch later this year and revealed some other details. You can check the blog post and its announcement trailer from here. A new Nine […]
