"In Frostpunk 2, we want to focus on the conflict between humans and human nature, between the cold and human values. If the intention with Frostpunk 2 is to really take the IP beyond what the original Frostpunk was, then Workshop Integration should be one of the most important things to keep in mind when developing this title. "Everything comes from the idea," Miechowski says. In fact, in Frostpunk, even the buildings seem to huddle - clustering around a central furnace that represents warmth and hope, even as it burns to embers. Like This War of Mine, they're management games about surviving a hostile environment by huddling together and making hard choices. Today, the studio calls its work ‘meaningful entertainment', a mantra that has led directly to Frostpunk and its upcoming sequel. "What we were trying to achieve was to show very different perspectives," Miechowski says.Īround the same time, marketing director (and now game director) Patryk Grzeszczuk pushed 11 Bit to codify its new philosophy. The experiment led to another collaboration, with 80 Days lead writer Meg Jayanth, on the Last Broadcast DLC – in which a disabled radio DJ decides whether or not to spare listeners the truth about news in their city, in order to prevent widespread panic. One fan, the award-winning Polish author Lukasz Orbitowski, wrote a novel off the back of it – which in turn inspired a storydriven DLC pack called Father's Promise. But the studio made its most strikingly unconventional connection in 2014 – when it paired The Sims with a humanitarian crisis in This War of Mine. And on mobile, 11 Bit released Sleepwalker's Journey, a platformer where you played the platform, as well as Funky Smugglers – a variant on Fruit Ninja in which you were swiping contraband from '70s-styled passengers as they passed through an airport x-ray machine.
#Frostpunk 2 genres series#
The Anomaly series technically belonged to the tower offence genre, since it gave you control of the attackers, not the defenders. However, the first game is free-to-play for the weekend, and there’s a discount sale. No release date for Frostpunk 2 has been given as of yet. Everything comes together to make a much more individual game that’s even more engrossing than its parts. That approach was borne out in the studio's first few games, built from an apartment in Warsaw. The first game perfectly blended political and city management genres into one title. "Beginning with the name, we wanted to make unconventional connections." "Bits are always even, 2-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit," Miechowski points out. I decided to quit." A bunch of Miechowski's friends found themselves in a similar boat, and quickly founded 11 Bit Studios. "I'm a big fan of The Witcher, but being a quest designer is totally not my thing," he says.
