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 […]
Sadly we were a bit too busy and our Support team also got hit by a flu. This made the Monthly Report to be a little late for April… but it’s here now! Yay! While Finland is getting closer to summer with truly hilarious weather (virally proven here), we are working to bring you some news fairly soon. What could it be? 😉 Otherwise work has proceeded quite peacefully, and yes we have still at least one patch coming to Has-Been Heroes. Look forward to it! We have also filled some of the Has-Been Heroes Gamepedia with wonderful volunteers (thanks!). […]
With Has-Been Heroes, we set out to make a challenging game, and it looks like we succeeded! We’ve seen some great videos, guides, wiki entries and all kinds of amazing content from our Has-Been Heroes players and a select few have already unlocked all the heroes. As a tribute to the best of the best, we’ve opened up a site called the Hall of Heroes at www.has-beenheroes.com It’s a hall of fame of sorts, where we’re going to list the players with full, 100% completion of the game. As far as we know, nobody has 100% yet! Are you up […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Or almost. We got pictures and made this interview with a lovely couple Sean and Angela a while back. It’s was their first time cosplaying and together they made an Amadeus outfit for Sean. See it yourself and read more about the making of the costume from below! Here is the cosplay! – Could you tell us a bit about yourselves and what you do? Sean: We are both students at the end of our studies. I’m studying to become a mechanical engineer and Angela a dental hygienist. We’re both in our 20’s and interested in gaming. We’ve been […]
Woop woop! We’re leaving to gamescom on our #Hypevan on Sunday.

This year we’ve decided to attend gamescom in Germany to announce a new game! Typically we’d be flying there like any other video game event, but deciding to get a booth changes things a bit… After weighing our options, we came up with a brilliant plan – why not drive there with our company van?! This is what we started out with: It needed some love, so here’s the progress after a bit of painting last weekend: Still needs some more tuning though, perhaps some bigger flames on the side? What would you like to see on our #HypeVan? Stay […]
