Podcasts about Frostpunk

Welcome to Episode 286 We kicked things off with the revelation of Skazz drinking alcohol-free beer, which somehow leads us into a conversation about old house layouts, how corridors are a surprisingly modern invention, and how Ram grandfather built a clever loft ladder. We also discuss how ram dogs Swift and Angel have managed to get addicted to doggy crack in the form of a milk supplement 'Better dog' and how they now refused to drink anything elseOnto games, Skazz has broken his rule of not buying games by purchasing Ys X Proud Nordics, however there is an issue with the developer anti-consumer practices with the back handed 'loyalty discount'. This leads us into the bigger debate on collecting more modern games and how its not preservation. Ram discuss the upcoming release of Timberborn 1.0 on march 12th, and how much he looking forward to it, hopefully he wont make an accidental gulag this timeRam them moves onto Frostpunk, a survival city-builder set in a frozen steampunk alternate history. He brakes down the mechanics such as managing coal, heat, population morale, and how he fall into his old way by putting children to work forming a secret police, and other increasingly desperate decisions. Both of Ram's runs end how you would expectNotesThe history of corridorsNot sure what in it, but Betterdog is crack for dogs, watch out they don't get addicted!Dodgy dealing by the publishers in Ys X Proud NordicsA cute but dark trailer for Timberborn V1.0And check out V1.0 due out 12th MarchFor more cute but dark animal action check out Tooth and TailCan you keep the heat on in Frostpunk We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on March 12th 2026, at 18:30 GMT either on YouTube or Twitch

W dzisiejszym odcinku zastanawiamy się, co właściwie musi zrobić marka Xbox, żeby dalej liczyć się na rynku i odzyskać zaufanie graczy. Rozmawiamy o decyzjach, które już zapadły, tych które powinny zapaść… i o tym, czy w ogóle da się jeszcze odwrócić trend.Po drodze zahaczamy o drugi sezon serialu Fallout i o to, jak adaptacje mogą wpływać na popularność marek. Recenzujemy również następujące gry: Frostpunk 2, High on Life 2, betę Marathon oraz tajemniczy God Forsaken.W temacie głównym bierzemy na warsztat Styx: Blades of Greed — czy powrót skradankowego goblina ma szansę przebić się w 2026 roku?

On the Retro Spectives Podcast we adore our survival games.  Every year when we do a cheat episode we find ourselves drawn to the games that force you to live on the edge.  Whether it's Pathologic, Rainworld or Resident Evil, we enjoy the pain and suffering of never having enough and managing those frustrating meters.   So it's no surprise that 11 Bit Studios 2018 smash hit Frostpunk caught our eye.  Combining the grim understated horror of the industrial revolution with a city builder was an inspired choice, and the endless freezing cold as your ultimate adversary feels relentless.  The game forces you to compromise on cold, hunger, sickness and your very morals in service of the city if you want to emerge out the other end. But for all its critical praise, how enjoyable is Frostpunk to actually play?  Are its ethical dilemmas actually as difficult to resolve as they initially appear?  And do its city management elements pale in comparison to its far more complex peers? On this episode, we discuss:Immersion. How well does Frostpunk sell its aesthetic to the player?  Is this a gritty and grounded story of survival, or fantastical mush?  How well does it connect players to the individual citizens in your city? Philosophy. Frostpunk lets you shape your city through its Book of Laws, a set of decisions that determine the degree to which you prioritise your citizen's happiness versus the needs of the city.  How well does the game present these as complex moral dilemmas? Survival. Mechanically, Frostpunk is all about resource prioritisation.  Does Frostpunk offer meaningful decisions to the player with clear consequences, or do all roads lead to Rome?  How well does the game give you an opportunity to recover from bad decisions? We answer these questions and many more on the 138th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!   If you've played Frostpunk and would like to share you stories of survival, or just fancy a good old fashioned chat, Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!

Interview by Ali WilliamsIf you think the wildest part of touring is the fans, you've clearly never tried to drive a truck through an American winter. HEAVY caught up with Matty Mullins—frontman, ice-road survivor, and Memphis May Fire's resident optimist—while he was holed up in Salt Lake City after some “eventful” /white-knuckle drives that would've had most people praying to whatever rock gods they believe in. Turns out, touring with Memphis May Fire is less “luxury tour bus” and more ‘Frostpunk on wheels'. Memphis May Fire will be returning Down Under with BLESSTHEFALL in April 2026. Matty's racking up more frequent flyer miles than your average travel vlogger, but in his words, “we owed our Australian fans a proper return after too long away". As a regular coming to Australia so often, he might as well apply for citizenship and start calling Vegemite “delicious” with a straight face. Whilst he assured me there will be no pyrotechnic awesomeness or indoor fireworks this time—(insurance companies everywhere just collectively sighed in relief), the band's packing a new setlist, bigger production, and some mates from Blessthefall. The only thing going up in flames will be the crowd's energy and maybe a box of your possessions you left at an unhinged ex's place. Matty laughs off the chaos, proving he's either a genuinely chill dude or just totally numb to tour madness at this point. “I never, ever know what day it is,” he laughs. Touring sounds glamorous, right up until you're living out of a suitcase and arguing with the GPS about which patch of ice to die on next. For Matty, it's been night after night of long, snowy drives and just enough adrenaline to keep things interesting. What keeps Memphis May Fire alive after years of this chaos? Stubbornness, a refusal to quit, and the knowledge that some maniac on the internet will have a hot take on whatever you do anyway. Matty's refreshingly honest about the ups, the downs, and the sheer weirdness that comes with being in a band in 2025. There's no pretending it's all sunshine and sold-out shows—but there's a hell of a lot of laughter along the way. Every touring band has wild stories, but Matty's “unhinged moment” takes the cake (and probably an earlobe). He tells of a band trip to a South African wildlife preserve, one overly friendly baby leopard, and a bass player who learns the hard way what “bite force” means. The aftermath? Paper towels, disinfectant spray, and a new story to explain at airport security. Scar stories: not just for mosh pits. He gives a few hints about what's in the pipeline for Memphis May Fire—new music, surprise setlists. He doesn't spill everything, but has promised that they're bringing something new and exciting the second time around, and those who saw them recently won't be disappointed because it's not going to be just a repeat of their last shows, so watch this space! Memphis May Fire are still out there, still grinding, still finding new ways to laugh at the madness. Get to a show, bring the good vibes, and maybe offer to drive the van if it snows. Tickets for Memphis May Fire's next Australian tour are going fast—for all the details and your backstage pass, head to https://thephoenix.au/memphis-may-fire-2026/, and maybe, just maybe, send Matty a warm pair of socks. Catch you in the pit, or over at the bar.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

On this week's episode, Brad and Eric sit down and dream of a better world where corporate decisions, budgets, marketing and computing limitations are non-existent. A world where every Warhammer game could be made, even if the user interface is a spreadsheet. A world where the protagonist of a game could be a Drukhari that would make every renegade decision in Mass Effect looks like a paragon decision. A world where modeling an entire planet that doesn't look in the slightest as earth wouldn't blow the budget. A world where fighting games could have good battlepasses. A world where every new model and character wouldn't need to be submitted for approval by Games Workshop. In this world, which games would we like to see realized in the Warhammer Universe?

Let's jump right into it: This month's releases include Hollow Knight: Silksong, Silent Hill F, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Evilist Chronicles, Frostpunk 2, Trails of the Sky remake, Hotel Barcelona (Suda51 x Swery), and many more indie and triple-A titles. Good luck working through all of that. This is going to be a month for adding to the backlog. Then we chat through the Metal Gear and Resident Evil franchises, share thoughts on quirky indie titles (like Shinju Jinko and Survival Kids), and more.  Enjoy, and thank you as always for tuning in! 

We are back! New logo, new website, a schedule we can stick to, and all our personal demons are set straight. Just in time for a happy go lucky romp through a frozen wasteland! This month we threw ourselves into Frostpunk, which is basically the cheeriest game about freezing to death you'll ever play. It's cold, it's bleak, it makes you feel like a terrible human being for making kids work in coal mines, and yet somehow, we couldn't stop talking about it. Do you save the people or save the city? Do you cling to hope or rule with an iron fist? Do you build a pub before you build a hospital? (Spoilers: yes.) Every choice feels like the “least bad” option, and that's kind of the whole magic of it. So, grab your warmest coat, pour yourself something strong, and join us as we chat about keeping humanity alive one questionable decision at a time. Any game suggestions or feedback? Email us at hello@thebiteffect.com and we will glady play what you tell us, unless it's Stellaris.

The Indieventure trio are back from our slightly longer-than-originally planned summer break, and thank goodness, we can just about remember how to record a podcast! Luckily, we've had an idea in the back pocket for a while now that allows us to have a bit of a free-flowing chat as we ease back into the swing of things. The theme of this episode is, broadly speaking, other media we'd recommend to fans of some of our favourite indie games. Be it books, movies, music, or even (gasp!) a triple-A title or two, turns out we've all had that experience of finding something that complements the vibe of an indie game we enjoy so perfectly we swear some plucky publisher ought to sell them together in some sort of limited-edition bundle. Obviously, we kick things off with Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, a widely acknowledged must-read for any Hades fans out there, but we move on to deeper cuts as the episode progresses. Discussion topics include – but are very much not limited to – our thoughts on how Thank Goodness You're Here follows a proud tradition of British surrealist comedy best embodied by Reeves and Mortimer in Shooting Stars; which Margaret Atwood novel best reflects the vibe of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage; and of course which creature collection games are must-plays for fans of Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach books. Other games finding their perfect pairing – it's kind of like a wine tasting evening, really – include series like OlliOlli and Simulacra, as well as stand-alones such as 1000xRESIST, Frostpunk, Signalis, and let's be honest, many more besides. We end as ever with a fresh batch of hyperfixations. Liam is rounding out the regression to his mid-2000s teenhood described earlier in the episode by getting well into wrestling of all things, thanks to a surprisingly fun evening out at a NORTH Wrestling event. Rebecca's refusal to stop banging on about Tiny Bookshop for three solid years has paid off in the form of a preview copy of the game, which has immediately and gratifyingly shot straight to the top of her GOTY watchlist. And Rachel's been enjoying a couple of short and sweet recent indie releases in the form of Everdeep Aurora and Wheel World. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

You survive by crafting more people.Here's a fresh one off the line! For this episode, Tom and Chris have been tasked with playing the newest survival game developed and published by 11 Bit Studios. The studio may be familiar to you if you are a fan of the Frostpunk franchise or if you checked out our previous episode about This War of Mine. This new title definitely builds on the Polish developer's prior experience with the survival and management genres, but it also adds an important sci-fi element through its exploration of cloning. Will there be enough novel material there to differentiate it from others in the genre? Will an hour be long enough for our hosts to get to the bio-engineered meat and potatoes of the experience? Hit play to learn if their hour was one optimally spent and if it leaves them craving more!What do you think?

Jocelyn is away this week, so Jon Jagger from the CORE podcast joins Ryan to discuss Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. A brand-new French RPG that has old-school turn-based RPG vibes. We keep things light on spoilers, discussing the events of the prologue and the mechanics that are introduced during Act I. Jon also finished Ghost of Tsushima before Scott. Over in the news, Frostpunk is getting a revamp with Frostpunk 1886 in 2027, we have Canadian pricing for Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of games, Blizzard is looking to Nexon to help with Overwatch mobile, and EA layoffs impact Respawn and other EA functions.

Das Oblivion-Remaster ist da - Michi hat es angespielt, Manu hat sich Days Gone Remastered angesehen und Frostpunk bekommt auch schon ein Remaster. Bei so viel Remasteritis lohnt sich mal die Frage, warum das überhaupt passiert und ab wann ein Remaster Sinn ergibt.

Sakes alive, we're 35, and in this episode we've been inspired by the recent release of Wanderstop to turn our attention to the nebulous topic of cosy games. Is "cosy" a genre? A theme? A vibe? Are all cosy games broadly the same, or is it just a blanket term that can refer to any game without a central combat mechanic? Is "cosy" even still a valid classification now that we've moved so far past all major new titles being, essentially, Doom with a different paint job? All these questions and more will be debated enthusiastically by the Indieventure trio, even if we entirely lack the ability to form a consensus that provides you with definitive answers. What we can manage, however, is to rattle off a bunch of cosy game recommendations, drawing from personal favourites and cosy classics (and indeed both) to come up with a list that encompasses indie titles as disparate as Stardew Valley (naturally), Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Dorfromantik, Dungeons of Hinterberg, the Frog Detective trilogy, House Flipper 2, Lil' Gator Game, Ooblets, PowerWash Simulator, Proteus, Tangle Tower, Tiny Life, TOEM, Wilmot Works It Out, and Frostpunk (no, really!). We also have a crack at an informal group review of Wanderstop, which has elicited an impressive array of thoughts and opinions among a trio of people who normally tend to kind of agree on most things. Who thought what? You'll have to listen to find out, but I can reveal it's a good chat. (And if you haven't yet listened to the recent Indieventure Extra episode where Liam interviews creators Davey Wreden and Karla Zimonja, here's the link to that!) Finally, as always, we end with our current hyperfixations. Liam is still absolutely caning through an essential catalogue of new and recent game releases, and has this time turned his attention to Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest in Capcom's long-running series about invading the habitats of majestic creatures and turning their hides into some fancy pants. Rebecca is trying to live by Wanderstop's example and be kinder to herself, which mainly involves taking a lot of naps at the moment, but she also throws in a couple of bonus recommendations for anti-burnout narratives in the form of Travis Baldree's high fantasy coffee shop novel Legends & Lattes, and of course the evergreen Pokémon Concierge miniseries. And Rachel's circled back to Mindhack, a dystopian visual novel about neutralising enemies of the state with beautiful electronic flowers that painfully rewire their dissident thoughts. You might remember this one from a couple of years ago, and it's good to see it still steadily making its way through early access, and now including four chapters of a planned eight-slash-nine.

It's spooky season, but there's nothing spooky about the announcement of a sequel to Alien: Isolation. Rob, Patrick, and Cado try to figure out what a sequel to one of the horror greats might look like, before turning their confused attention to the future of Halo. Elsewhere, Patrick has been exploring the spookiest town of all in the new Silent Hill 2 remake, while Rob continues to plum the depths of Frostpunk 2. Finally, Cado has been playing Mexico 1921: A Deep Slumber, and we get into a shockingly long aside about Rob's latest audio purchase.Discussed: Alien Isolation Sequel Announced 2:41, Meet New Halo Studios Just Like the Old Halo Studios 34:08, Silent Hill 2 Remake 48:02, Frostpunk 2 1:09:48, Playstation Portal 1:20:59, Who Doesn't Love a 3.5 mm Jack? 1:49:30, Mexico 1921, A Deep Slumber 1:52:49, FC 25 2:05:39, The Question Bucket 2:20:42See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're here and maybe, kind of, possibly ranting about video game onboarding and how video games won't shut up and let us play them, but we're also talking about Echo Point Nova, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Dale & Dawson Stationery Supplies, Frostpunk 2, Starfield, and a lot more. 

It's a busy week of news, as Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Cado convene to discuss Sony's latest State of Play, the delay of Assassin's Creed: Shadows, the latest on Concord, and more. Plus, Janet and Patrick finished Astro Bot, Rob's continued to pull apart Frostpunk 2, and Cado's compelled by Star Wars Outlaws. Oh, and despite agreeing no one else should probably do it, Patrick beat The Plucky Squire. And in The Question Bucket? Oh, let's get agile, baby.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
