ON THE EDGE FROSTPUNK GENERATOR
That’s why the decision to make The Last Autumn a prequel story in which players oversee the construction of the Generator from the main game, was such a big leap into something of a different kind. And details like dirt on the buildings, frozen edges of the screen, sharp shards floating in the air proved to be very useful in maintaining the mood.Įach of those aspects had to work in harmony, combined, and they did in Frostpunk. Meanwhile, dark UI splashes in the Book of Laws or at story events screens, which can resemble coal which is, after all, the main resource in the game, were stressing the gloomy tones. But then minus 60 degrees comes in and everything is back to being desperately normal. Every morning in the game’s daily cycle serves as a ray of hope, so we made those a bit different and uplifting.

On the Edgenarratively follows the events after the Great Storm so from the ending of the base game. The Riftsadds a new map for Endless mode and bridges, a new type of construction to gather resources scarred across islands. This approach made all expansions distinguishable not only from the base game but also from each other. To broaden the lore, since we put a lot of emphasis on the narrative side of the game, and deliver new gameplay mechanics. When we thought about additional content, we set two goals.
