The Awards

After five years in the making, we are thrilled to announce Starbase and to reveal first details about the game and the official announcement trailer! Starbase is a massively multiplayer online game with gameplay focused on building and designing spaceships and stations, exploration, resource gathering, crafting, trading, and combat. Coming to Early Access later in 2019, you can wishlist the game here on Steam. https://youtu.be/zXLTFwoYM_s

About Starbase

Key Features:

• The environment in Starbase is fully destructible, meaning everything can be destroyed or disassembled with the right kind of tools and weaponry.
• The in-depth physics simulation enabled by hybrid of voxel and vertex-based game mechanics make fights, exploration and flying spaceships more creative and fun and the simulation of structural and elemental durability in the game adds its own twist and challenge to the efforts to conquer space. Poorly designed superstructures combined with overpowered steering thrusters can snap the spaceships in half if cutting corners too much in a space race!

• Start shaping the Starbase universe with fellow robots by joining and working for factions. Build, fight, chat and group up with other players to discover and settle the vast galaxy that is waiting for its first conquerors to make their mark.
• Mine asteroids by yourself, trade and haul cargo with your friends, or build a capital station with a huge company.
• Take part in the battle between the Empire and the Kingdom, or leisurely explore the galaxy while the insurance system has you covered should you accidentally wander into uncharted space.

• The smallest building unit in Starbase is a single bolt, allowing you to build, repair and modify spaceships, stations, and devices as you wish.
• Even the smallest ships have thousands of parts, each with their own detailed damage model, making building and designing a truly creative process.
• Learning to use the in-game programming chips will take building and designing to a new level; innovation, automation of ships and creating clever ship layouts will make all the difference!

• Explore the vast universe to discover stations, social hubs and new raw materials. Arrange an exploration mission with friends and find out what the universe has to offer.
• Travel to an asteroid field to mine raw minerals and salvage different materials from broken ships, trade materials at trading stations or steal from others if that floats your (space)boat.

There's one below but more new screenshots from the game can be found from our blog. We hope you enjoy the game. :)

We're excited to announce Has-Been Heroes, a blend of strategy and action with a roguelike twist coming in March 2017. Check out the trailer below! https://youtu.be/XPBqgDFgMEU Embark on an epic journey with the Has-Been Heroes, a group of legendary champions once celebrated throughout the kingdom for their heroic deeds - they have killed rats, rescued a prince, fought wars, slain a dragon... The kingdom prospered and peace prevailed. Legends grew old, and stories faded. The heroes weren't needed. But then, after years of peace, the King has one more quest, a quest so important he can only trust to his epic band of heroes, the toughest and bravest in all the kingdom. A quest of epic proportions... TO TAKE THE TWIN PRINCESSES TO SCHOOL! Developed by Frozenbyte in partnership with GameTrust. The game will be available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and XBOX One.

We are happy to announce our new game Nine Parchments, coming in 2017! It's a co-operative blast'em up game of magic mayhem that takes our studio back to colorful fantasy! You can check the chaotic co-op game play from the announcement trailer below. Also feel free to check this blog post on our website for more information and screenshots! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlIHq3pLwTU Nine Parchments is currently under development for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, slated for a 2017 release. Also if you happen to be at Gamescom, the game is also playable at the Indie Arena this year. It would be nice to see you! :)

The Early Access period for Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is nearing its end. The official release date is set for August 20th! https://youtu.be/AKsDCA4M-38 It’s been an amazing few months for our first 3D Trine game, and we’ve learned a lot in this time. On behalf of all of Frozenbyte, I’d like to thank everyone who participated and helped us with your feedback. We’ve come a long way since the start of Early Access, and we’ve been cooking up some neat changes in the past couple of months after the latest update. As we mentioned on the Steam Store page, the price of the game will go up once Early Access ends, from $19.99/19.99€ to $21.99/21.99€. We’ll also be adding the awesome soundtrack by Ari Pulkkinen to the package. The Linux and Mac versions are underway and we’ll hopefully have something to show soon!

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power just received a new update! Changelog below. :) Remember to check this thread for bug reports.

Changelog

Great news! :) Update v0.07 is now out and this time it's a major content update. Included are two new levels - the third Story Level and a new Challenge Level.
The Story level takes the players inside the mystical Astral Academy, where strange magic has taken control of inanimate objects. The Challenge Level this time is for Amadeus and it's called "A Wizard's Nightmare". Here’s a short teaser (don’t watch if you don’t want to be spoiled in any way): http://youtu.be/Oki2-BDd3Qo In addition to the new content, we’ve been working on several major gameplay changes as well, namely related to checkpoints and resurrection. We’ve had feedback during Early Access saying that the combat has been too easy and we agree, so instead of just making monsters hit harder or increase their numbers, our design went back to the drawing board. The result is that checkpoints now only store level progression, and no longer resurrect players. Instead, if one of the heroes dies, you’ll have to reach their spirit with one of the other heroes that are still alive to resurrect them. In combat this takes a longer time, so you might have to fend off enemies to save your fellow companions. This opens up a lot of new possibilities for very cool and more difficult fights. The visual effects for resurrection and the spirits are not finalized yet, but we’d love to hear feedback on the new system and the added levels. :) We've also received lots of feedback about the character outfits in the Unlimited Mode and tutorial levels when playing in co-op. We've now added different coloured outfits for the Trine Heroes to be used when more than one people is playing the same character, and we hope that this will make playing together online easier and more fun when all players are able to instantly tell their characters apart from the others based on their outfit colors.

We just released update #5! We added three more example levels to the level editor and one concept level to the game's main menu, so check them out! I also recommend playing through the existing levels again, since you might run into something... or someone new. ;) Other updates include multiple fixes and improvements to both the editor and levels, so hopefully they should also run smoother now.
