1. The Art of Trine 2: The Mammoth Skeleton

   January 18th, 2012 by Mikael | Category: Art, Trine 2

   

   There are few things you except to find in an icy tundra: snow, ice, some more snow and a large frozen mammoth skeleton!

   As I have mentioned earlier, Trine 2 is filled with creatures wondrous and unique, some just little more dead than the others.

   The Mammoth is one of those. Its structure is based on a real animal, the skeletal construct similar or identical to its once existing cousin.

   For more information, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth

   In game the skeleton is used as a decorative background, not really interacting with the heroes but certainly creating some ‘frosty’ atmosphere.

   Next time you pass by this mighty fellow, slow down and pay a few moments of respect. It gave its life to be used in Trine 2!

   Talk about devotion…

2. Frozenbyte is against SOPA

   January 13th, 2012 by Mikael | Category: Frozenbyte

   As the online conversation rages, we needed to voice our opinion as an indie game developer.

   It is understandable that SOPA and PIPA mostly effect American citizens, but we have had similar changes in Finland and all over the EU.

   We live only by the games that we create.

   We understand the issue that is piracy.

   But this is no excuse for someone to step in to break our internets.

   In a brighter future, we hope to see freedom from censorship everywhere.

   And that developers like us can talk directly to their customers for an open conversation and the mutual support that we all need.

   Thank You.

3. Unboxing the Collector’s Edition

   January 10th, 2012 by Mikael | Category: Trine 2

   This is a little clip we put together for those who need to know what the physical PC/Mac copy looks like.

   The CE version of Trine 2 on Steam has all of the extras in digital form, so that is an easy option for those who might not need the box on their shelf.

   As another update: we still have no word on the missing console versions, but we will let you know as soon as we get info.
