Frostpunk has fairly a fandom right here at RPS. Even if the sport hadn’t been good, we might nonetheless have given it protection as a result of we get pleasure from going Full Mr. Freeze with headlines like “Frostpunk ventures out into the cold” and my private favourite “There’s snow hope in this new Frostpunk trailer” which I’m borderline mad about. Look, I’d by no means do something like that in my headlines. Luckily, we don’t should hold speaking about wordplay, as a result of Frostpunk’s super gross sales out of the gate imply post-release content material isn’t caught in a freeze.
Please don’t go.
There’s rather a lot to like about Frostpunk. Xalavier Nelson Jr reviewed the game for RPS and I actually can not overstate what a superb, humorous, bleak, good little bit of video games writing it’s. It bought me utterly on choosing up a replica of the sport ASAP whereas additionally hitting on a few of the extra difficult points the survival world-building sim faces. I can’t bear in mind the final time I learn a assessment twice in every week, so like, highest advice right here. (Although an actual missed alternative for a This Child In Mines joke. Sorry Xalavier. Sorry everybody.)
We’ve additionally written beforehand about how the sport is ready to be exceptionally mod friendly. Opening up this tundra survival nightmare to the whims of the group feels like we’re certain for some really weird modifications.
The devs put up an announcement on Steam yesterday with some obscure info on what occurs subsequent. You can read the entire thing here, however the main takeaway is that they need gamers to know (because of nice gross sales numbers) that 11 Bit Studios is getting immediately into expansions for the sport.
First out of the gate is a few bug/crash fixes, clearly, after which stepping into countless/sandbox modes. For people hitting points with getting the sport to load in any respect, or flaws which are too huge to disregard, they’ve launched a strong Support Guide. Beyond that, for those who’ve received a cool concept you’d prefer to see within the sport, be at liberty to share it however, you realize, perceive that that is an indie group working to completely stabilize the sport proper now — so please don’t be pushy about your neat proposition.
11 Bit Studios additionally promise to launch a much less obscure roadmap to all of this work within the close to future. You can choose up the game on Steam right here. I’m trying ahead to seeing how the sport expands and continues to harm my emotions in an excellent partaking method.
