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 […]
As the title says, our March was pretty much filled with Has-Been Heroes. I don’t know if you heard, but the game is now released worldwide. We have received a lot of feedback about the game, most of it has-been good. See what I did there? 😉 From below you can find a couple of pictures that are great choices for a desktop image! Remember to click them for a bigger view. We had a great launch party past Friday and food was of course an important part of the festivities. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the menu we […]
We are super excited to announce our new game My Space Van. Game is developed in co-operation with Amistech Games, creators of the open-world survival game My Summer Car. My Space Van is set in the year 2995, where Finland is very powerful country in space. You are playing as young and reckless van driver in space and your parents are away on holiday on Mars. A VRR (Virtual Van Reality) trailer is now out on YouTube, showing the wonders of having a van in space. Check out the trailer from below! As all the Frozenbyte games before, My Space […]
We are happy to announce that the US and global Steam release of Has-Been Heroes is finally here! Check out the release trailer from below. Who else is excited about the game? We know we are! Has-Been Heroes is a roguelike game developed by Frozenbyte in partnership with GameTrust, and it’s now available on Steam for all regions! The game is also available for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One in North America. The release for other regions is slated for early next week on April 4th. You can also find some fresh new screenshots below.
Only one week left before Has-Been Heroes is released. Who else is excited? Bet we are! At the office our Marketing team is working hard with the last details, and we, the Support team have been trying hard to learn all the tricks so that we can give you guys great advise! I for example have gotten quite good at dying, I have discovered numerous ways to do this. But enough about that, you might have also noticed that we introduced six members of the Has-Been Heroes team in the past weeks on our social media channels… now they are […]
February came and went, how is it possible that it has only 2 or 3 days less than other months, but still it feels like a week shorter! Or maybe once again we have had so much stuff going on here at the office that time just flew out of the window. There hasn’t been anything as major going on in February as we didn’t have any big announcements this month, but still a lot happened here as summarised below. Who wouldn’t want to start with food? The hearts are bread buns! You know the saying “an army marches on […]
We were really happy with the amount of feedback we received regarding our Christmas calendar. So thank you all! And it’s why we decided that this year we’re going to be writing a monthly blog post telling you what’s going on here at Frozenbyte. We’ll be calling these Monthly Reports! Pretty creative, right? Sadly, we can’t list everything as that would probably be a long (and maybe even a bit dull) list. But let’s get to the point: what were we up to last month? January was actually quite a busy month here at our office. The biggest thing that […]
A few weeks ago we announced our new game Has-Been Heroes, a game of strategy and action with a roguelike twist coming in March 2017 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. This time we have a bit to share about the game’s story, but also note that pre-orders are available via GameStop! Click the picture for a full sized wallpaper! Our legendary band of heroes were once celebrated throughout the kingdom because of their heroic deeds. Unfortunately they were too efficient with all the dragon slaying and prince rescuing, this caused them to run out of quests. […]
