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 […]

I was reading our forums and stumbled upon this thread, and it got me thinking… We haven’t posted any new screenshots, gameplay videos or basically anything Splot-related for a long long time now. The reason for this is that the gameplay and graphics have changed a lot during the development, and we didn’t want to post anything that wouldn’t be making it to the actual game. However, this approach is not fair on everyone who’s been waiting patiently for the game to get released, especially those of you who bought it from the Humble Bundle. So here’s a few new […]
