Here’s the official beginning of our “A Day in the Life of…” blog series, starting with an inside look to the life of Frozenbyte Quality Assurance! A while back we gave you the chance to ask questions from our QA Department, and we got quite many good ones. You’ll find some questions and answers at the end of this post, but first I’ll introduce the department a bit. A normal day at work? Spot five differences between these two pictures. Up next will be our Design Team – you can post questions to them in the comments! Design is quite […]
You read correctly! We’re finally releasing our Frozenbyte Editor for both of the Trine games. As we did with Trine Enchanted Edition, this first editor release is a public BETA, and will be behind a password. The reason we’ve held off releasing the editor to the public before has been quite simple. It’s pretty difficult to use if you don’t know what you’re doing, and there’s *very* little documentation or tooltips. So did we make an easy-to-use version for everyone to enjoy? The answer to that is…not really 🙂 Instead we’ve opened a wiki page at www.frozenbyte.com/wiki and provided some […]
Some of you may have already noticed that we have a new Community team. In addition to running our Support, we try to be active in the Steam Community, and some other places as well. 🙂 As a part of this, we wanted to start a new blog series called “A Day in the Life of…” – the purpose of which is to introduce us and other people here at the Frozenbyte office, and perhaps offer you kind of a sneak peek into what life is like here. During the next several months we’ll be going through the many different […]
It’s been way too long since the last episode of the Trine Comic Series was released – Part 5 came out over 2 years ago and the story was never finished. Wait no longer! Here is Part 6: We’ll post the remaining episodes of the comic series in the upcoming weeks 🙂 Here’s all the previous episodes as a recap, in case you missed them earlier, or just forgot what happened. Parts 1-5: […]

A few weeks ago we stumbled on THIS post on the Steam forums, posted by user CHARC0AL. We were thoroughly inspired by this creativity and wanted to see what else the community could think of! We urge you all to start Trine 2 and try to find new fun things to do, new solutions to puzzles and record them on video. Post your links to your video(s) on Twitter with the hashtag #FunWithTrine and we will be retweeting some of the entries, and we will hand out a small prize to the one we find most entertaining! The competition […]

We at Frozenbyte love fan art of Trine 2 and we’ve noticed the huge amount of it on the Miiverse. So, we want to up the ante by introducing the Trine 2 Miiverse Drawing Contest! Trine 2 is a very atmospheric and picturesque game, which we noticed has inspired a lot of people on Miiverse. It’s incredible how much people can create with a simple stylus, touch screen and black and white colors. So we decided to give all of you talented people a chance to win some awesome prizes with your awesome drawings! We will organizing this a few […]
We here at Frozenbyte value the well being of our fans, employees and surroundings in general. In the video above we talk a little about how our company works with environmental issues and on what topics we should work on more. Recycling is key, but also changing our methods into “digital only” is important to reduce our ecological foot print. Of course we still support retail copies for people who want to collect things like art books, but overall we like to see the industry turning to a download centered model. On top of this we touch upon the topic […]
We got our Wii U consoles set up at the office last Friday, and since then we’ve been browsing the Miiverse. One of the most useful things seems to be posting screenshots from a part in the game where you have gotten stuck and then asking for help from the community. This seems to work well with Trine 2 since it’s a puzzle game where users can clearly see the issue from a give pic. Other than that the Miiverse seems to be spouting up a lot of talented artists, even to the extent that the Trine 2 community now […]
