Frozen Flame news & patch notes

As players continue to engage with the game and express concern about its future, we aim to clarify a current stage of development.

Next Update

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/57d35bd294f6fce7d160f4ed109892d9fef9a17b.png Since the last update, our dedicated team of enthusiasts has been developing the game despite the challenging times. Finally, we plan to begin beta testing for the next major update this spring. The exact date will be announced on Discord at least a week prior to the event. Here are some changes to look forward to: - A portal to the next biome (although there's much work to be done, you'll be able to engage with new enemies, items and armor) - An accelerated and refined combat system - Ability Tree update - Game balance update - Fixes based on player feedback (bird flight fixes, loot pickup fixes, etc.)

Focus to Co-op Experience

We have decided to shift our focus entirely to cooperative PVE adventure, possibly with optional PVP arenas. Moving forward, each game world will have its own "irreversible" state with gradually increasing difficulty. This change will reduce grinding and introduce more new activities and challenges. Following the update release, we plan to close the official game servers, which were initially more PVP-oriented. However, players can still maintain and develop their own servers with their own rules.

Pricing and demo

We also plan to release a free demo this spring and are considering a price reduction. If we proceed with this, all current players will receive a free DLC containing special items. This is our attempt to make the game more accessible to players. Please let us know your thoughts on this.

Community

If there's something you're particularly excited about for the next update, beyond what's already listed, now is the time to share it in the comments. We are grateful to our players for their patience and support, and we look forward to bringing the game to release together with you, pilgrims.

Autumn has already arrived and many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next updates, so it's time to tell you what we're working on right now.

Cursed Lands

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/e518b10a394c541818805061095066f36481de31.png First and foremost, we’re working on the next large biome and the continuation of the campaign. Traveling among flying islands has brought a lot of new sensations, but many people miss large locations like the Cradle of the Keepers. The Cursed Lands will fill in. We have to warn you. Pilgrim should not expect a warm welcome, especially if you come unprepared - The Cursed Land is one of the final locations before the Frozen Citadel, and it will put ones’ skills to the test. We should preemptively warn you that you won't be able to fly here. You will need to explore the surrounding area on foot and exerсise caution. It's not just about poisoned clouds and contaminated waters here…

Flora and Fauna

Those who have participated in the very first tests will remember the "old friends" - dangerous underground beetles and wild lizards, distant relatives of the peaceful Ku. This lands belong entirely to them. Between the lizards' agility and beetles' ambushes, battles will prove to be interesting, yet dangerous. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/c71dcada98a3287c2ef958b628991bc535efccd1.png Whoever vanquishes them will be rewarded with new resources, which players can use to finally acquire chitin armor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/a6d192dbb604ad3025a65b78425de6c8806f725b.png And don't forget about the local exotic plants. They will serve as components for creating new, unique dishes. It is said that the recipes for these dishes have long been forgotten by the residents of Arcana. But maybe someone remembers the distant taste of "Mountain Giant Stew", which gave incredible strength? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f8847e71fc94836b91eaad56e32d59c2a6c5066e.png

New Boss

In the depths of the cursed lands, players will encounter a new boss. Do we really need to specify that it is deadly dangerous and one must prepare thoroughly for this encounter? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/6f370bdd9a796c8c40d7ca5ac804489d508f47fb.png

Development Timeline

The development budget has decreased following the spring update, which made us reduce the team. Obviously, this affects the development speed. However, despite some difficulties, we continue to work and plan to bring the project to release. The good news is that the majority of content is already done to some capacity (including the final boss). Most of the development time is spent on game design and creating new locations.

ABOUT FROZEN FLAME

Frozen Flame is a Survival RPG set in the vast world of Arсana, an ancient land once governed by the Dragons. Addled by the curse, it now beckons for souls capable of harnessing the powers of the primeval magic. Those who seek to govern over these lands will have to amass power and allies to bring the fight to the Ice Citadel, home of the Faceless that spreads rot over the realm. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/8074b16cc06712446f1ac7c199181a017471bbfa.gif For more on Frozen Flame, follow the game on social media on the following channels.

It has been just over a month since the last major update, and we want to share with you what is happening inside the studio, as well as to tell you about our future plans.

How was Early Access?

Before the release in Early Access, the game was in development for over 5 years. Initially, it was developed by a small indie team, which eventually expanded up to 20 people. After the release in Early Access, the pace of work was frenzied, and we literally didn't sleep to deliver everything we promised during the long project lifetime. This was justified on the one hand, but on the other hand, the tight deadlines resulted in errors that many of you have experienced. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/95f495eca07a61cff7cbfe40e350a3dc48282276.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/bbfa7774f2e1c5d38a72e823b701fc7faa8c3b23.jpg The most unpleasant ones were wiping all servers and periodic players’ house breaking. We apologize for those again. We are taking all possible measures to prevent such problems in the future. Although the overall reviews of the game are still mixed, a decent part of the negativity was in the first few days of Early Access due to the lack of public servers and content. Both moments are already fixed, and we continue to strive to gradually achieve consistently positive ratings of the game. After all, we have also received a lot of words of support and truly useful reviews, some of which are now pinned in the company chats and inspire us to move forward. In any case, we are glad that we released the game in Early Access first and hope that we can release it together with you. By the way, many people ask about the game demo version. Steam is currently testing the trial system, and we are looking forward to use it. This will allow you to continue playing immediately after purchase. However, if this option does not appear in the coming months, we will release a traditional game demo version.

What's happening now?

As we have already told you before, we are currently working on a new big biome, which takes time. Dragon Grove was released so quickly cause it was already half-ready by the time of Early Access release. Now, a large location is being created almost from scratch, including new quests, equipment, and more. Some of the monsters are ready, but they still need to be animated and AI worked out. In the future, we will definitely share more details. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f3aa990221c7828245d2cb75f303221020ff9e12.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/db5109652f1db9a9bb595d1b7df6cd9747d41b2f.png We would also like to refine and split the current survival mode into 2 maps: one will provide a tougher cooperative survival experience, and the other will focus on PVP and RPG elements of the game. The idea is to give you the choice and the variability without compromising the speed of developing the main campaign. As before, we plan to beta-test these changes first. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/a61761794c96b375fc711dbecfc360f2131f9c2a.png In addition, we are also working on various improvements and changes that will make the game more enjoyable.

What's next?

We read all reviews in Discord and Steam to understand your expectations better and plan to spend more time checking the quality and the balance of the game so that you don't have to suffer from grinding and errors again. Based on this, we have decided to update the future development plan: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/ec140a6bbc467a7a66719c15b38f4435e51d9377.png Thank you for your support and participation in Early Access.

PUBLIC SERVERS

PVP AND COMBAT REWORK

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f0ed83503d9fada63eb544b851521debadd1abd2.jpg The combat system has been completely updated and has become more dynamic. We’ve made an attempt at making PvP battles more balanced and fair. In the future, we will continue to improve these aspects of the game. For example, now players cannot attack each other in important locations and are protected for some time after respawning. We’ve also added a building that allows you to fully protect your homes from other players. In case you don't enjoy PvP, there are also PvE servers available.

SERVER SETTINGS

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/fac0df5fb0e385c8ca1a973b758e55cb87156468.jpg

NEW GAMEMODE: CATACLYSM

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/d83984f7c5d4360ed3e3243a0deb408c56ea46f1.jpg The long-awaited "Survival" mode has entered the open beta stage under the name "Cataclysm" and is now available to everyone! We have temporarily closed access to the Campaign mode during this time. To participate in the beta, you will need to take a few simple steps:

Right-click on the game in your Steam library.

Select "Properties" and go to the Beta tab.

In the list, select "beta - Upcoming version (unstable)".

The game's name will change to Frozen Flame and a new version will begin downloading. Embark on an adventure in a vast open world with an Archipelago of islands in an endless ocean. Search for resources, build, explore new territories, and fight for your life. Join one of three Orders and venture together into the Frozen Desert - the abode of the Dragon that unleashes the Cataclysm - and other dangers, such as elementals and ice zombies. And remember - the greater the danger, the more valuable the reward! The "Cataclysm" mode is recommended for experienced players only. Unite, explore the world, and restore Arcana!

• New territories to explore: a water archipelago and flying islands.
• Frozen Desert - a high-level location with harsh weather conditions, deadly enemies and bosses.
• An opportunity to join one of three Orders to receive rewards and reputation by bringing valuable resources from the Frozen Desert.

CLAIMING THE TERRITORY

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/60da2bd10b26d2921eeb359ff0595f52d6980b52.jpg Once you place any construction module, he surrounding area will automatically become unavailable for construction for other players. And constructing a Sentinel will protect your buildings from any threats. Flexible access settings will allow you to decide what rights you want to give to friends or strangers.

MORE DYNAMIC COMBAT

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/0d519bcd5c70584d60f6e74900f722fd5df1695a.gif The combat system has undergone numerous changes. Attacks have become more expressive and responsive. Combat abilities from the Skill Tree now consume combat energy, while flame attacks have been replaced by ultimate attacks.

• All types of attacks have been reworked: light, heavy, running, and jumping.
• The use of combat abilities now requires combat energy.

ENERGY AND FATIGUE

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/36a5937322598d6aa5862f76e10430fb7efd4f3e.jpg Energy has been added to the game as an addition to health and stamina. While actively exploring the world of Arcana, the pilgrim will gradually lose energy points and accumulate fatigue, which will affect their stamina. To restore strength for new adventures, drink water from a magical fountain or sleep in a bed.

• New parameters have been added: energy and fatigue.
• Beds restore energy.
• Drinking water restores energy.

UI IMPROVEMENTS

In the new update, we have extensively redesigned the UI, making it more understandable and practical. Changes have been made to the stamina, flame attack and ability indicators.

• New stamina and power attack UI.
• Redesigned appearance of the ability widget.
• New inventory UI.

BY POPULAR DEMAND

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/73057836b63b3f951fcb7177953f1a1f09dd862a.jpg We see a large number of requests and feedback from players. Some of the suggestions have been taken into account in this update, namely:

• Added the inventory sorting.

Now you can find the desired item faster. Sorting is available: by weight, by durability, by quality, by name.

• Increased spear attack radius.

It is now easier to aim at enemies, especially at Nibblers!

• Resources from ore nodes no longer get stuck in walls.

Now, dropped resources are always picked up from the ground.

• Straw bed now functions as a respawn point.

Place a straw bed and sleep on it - now in case of death you will automatically return to this point. Your friends can also use your sleeping spot - but keep in mind: straw bed cannot have two simultaneous owners. The last person who slept on it owns the respawn point.

• Improved quick-slot gamepad control.

A pop-up widget hint will appear for assigning items to quick access slots while using a gamepad. After the update release, the following issues will also be fixed in the Campaign mode:

• Monster spawning issue in the camp with a pearl.

Players couldn't complete the "Dungeon Secrets" quest because a mage didn't appear in the camp, which prevented the battle from being completed.

• The rock is moved away from the Dragon Grove islands.

One of the islands was generated next to the rock, which made it difficult to complete the ritual.

OTHER CHANGES

Gameplay

• Added a trading tent. Players can place a special tent to trade items with other players.
• Added flight acceleration. It consumes more stamina but allows you to reach your destination faster.
• New model for the bone club.
• New NPC: Sanctuary Trader.
• New item: fertilizer. You can fertilize your garden beds to reduce the growth time of essences. Fertilizers drop from boars.

Greetings, Pilgrims! While our last announcement was just recently, we already have more news to share with you. And considering that you have already read the title there is no need to delay any further - Open Beta for Survival Mode is coming on 5th of April 2023. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/59341474697380e6d6a2145d23256bb8cc241be0.jpg Next week we will share more details with you before Open Beta starts - including full patch notes! And with the upcoming Open Beta for Survival Mode we understand you have a lot of questions about the game, its lore and upcoming changes. This is why we want to answer as many of your questions as possible! The most popular and burning questions we will address in the near future. Others we will address a tad later. And for now - this is everything. See you! About Frozen Flame A challenging exploration and survival adventure, set in the dying world of Dragons.

We continue on our way towards the bigger update, having received plentiful positive feedback and suggestions based on the Closed Alpha Test. And now we’d like to share more information about the occurred changes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/3079e6776274f3d95809958b54aedcb348b38310.jpg First, we decided to relocate the entirety of the starting location into the water and turn it into a sort of a continent. And it seems like sooner or later we’ll have to implement fully fleshed-out fishing into the game.. Floating islands will keep on spawning at different locations for each server, while the ability to fly will now be reserved for high-level players. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/45856ed73db71fc61b1b5f7720735c089f6f7e9d.jpg We’ve also received a lot of requests to make the Survival mode compatible with coop experience. So, we’ve adjusted the mode’s focus from Orders and PvP to survival and exploration. You’ll be able to protect your buildings with a special module - a sentinel. For those who either don’t want to participate in PvP, or want the mode to be more punishing, we’ll implement new server settings. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/eaa9742e26e7d349f3a93a966930009747927c2a.jpg To make the survival experience more complete, we’ve added fatigue, which can be restored by consuming certain types of food or by sleeping in a bed. Beds can now also be used as checkpoints - you can return to them via teleportation stone or after respawning. The stamina bar is now located in the top-left corner of the game to make the UI more coherent. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/81068b0b602ec7f90e479bb3b2d93b037f8593e2.jpg Another goal we have with the upcoming update is to improve combat by making it more fast-paced and diverse. Most weapons received updates to their attack animations, while some weapons received new ones altogether. Heavy attacks are no longer locked behind leveling and only require stamina to use, while battle energy will now directly impact combat abilities and allow you to use them more frequently. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/716585d30d40bb6225b16d20aa3933063d2ac94d.gif We also want to add more fun activities so that the players can spend some quality time with their friends. Musical instruments, vendor stalls and even catapults! What will be included in the final version of the update depends solely on the Alpha Test results. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f4cd19020c790cd01da71a53c5c328ab077cf44e.jpg So, you can expect plenty of changes and improvements! We will soon announce the date of the Open Beta Test, where everyone will be able to give the new additions a try.

ABOUT FROZEN FLAME

Frozen Flame is a Survival RPG set in the vast world of Arсana, an ancient land once governed by the Dragons. Addled by the curse, it now beckons for souls capable of harnessing the powers of the primeval magic. Those who seek to govern over these lands will have to amass power and allies to bring the fight to the Ice Citadel, home of the Faceless that spreads rot over the realm. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/8074b16cc06712446f1ac7c199181a017471bbfa.gif For more on Frozen Flame, follow the game on social media on the following channels.

Greetings, Pilgrims! The work on the next update continues apace, so we'd like to share the details of the upcoming "Survival" mode with you. It is going to be PvPvE mode where the players will side with one of the Orders and lead it to victory by participating in various activities, such as hunting deadly bosses. These challenges take place after the events of the campaign. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/94e0d089a63b2342917e7868d8594815c09a3ab5.png The players will be able to tackle the harsh trials both on public and private servers. The settings will be customizable so that you can set up more comfortable gaming conditions, like fully disabling PvP if you so choose. A single server will be able to support up to 50 people simultaneously. The world will be significantly expanded. There will be many more islands than in the campaign, and they will be randomly shuffled, to create unique situations: may have to carefully build logistical chains between islands to acquire the necessary resources. Right now the Orders have different fortresses, stories, and goals, but the testing may bring out the need for additional changes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f33265a7b30175463d5b45ced027438213718de0.png In addition to dangerous monsters and harsh weather conditions, the world will be struck by cataclysms - the periodic events that bring deadly cold. There are terrifying creatures stirring among the snow, daring champions to come and lay claim to the useful loot. The goal of this mode is to help your Order and its allies achieve their aims and receive legendary items in return. We are also discussing the possibility of introducing an optional wipe for those who want to periodically change the balance of power on servers, allowing to retain only a fraction of the players' progress. The work on the campaign mode also continues. We’d like to dedicate more time to its development, so we can think everything through and deliver the most exciting experience, so we bring you the first screenshots of the new islands for now. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/4375b0772b37dd683cd89f68afed8115486f7362.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f79d84028e684e62f7c1550d2f434991aa42be43.png This was just the beginning. There are many things that we are working on, and next time, we will tell you about the changes to the combat system and what we learned from the alpha test. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/7f81e4e6794ea47007f59c336996269eaa9496b9.gif Sincerely, the Frozen Flame Development Team

Greetings, Pilgrims! We have exciting news to share with you regarding our game's development! As you may have seen, we recently published an updated roadmap that includes plans for the release of the survival mode this spring. However, before we can launch such a vast game mode, we need to conduct thorough testing. Therefore, we will be conducting two tests before the survival mode. The first test will be a closed alpha test, which is scheduled to begin on March 9th. Participants in this alpha test will be a selected group of players, our game veterans. We will also be hosting a building contest just before the start of the test, and the top builders will be given access to the closed alpha. We believe that those who have invested a lot of time and effort into the game should be the first to experience the new game mode. Following the alpha test, we will conduct a beta test that will be open to everyone. It will be announced separately at a later date. We will closely monitor all feedback from the tests and make any necessary changes based on your comments. We are thrilled to share these updates with you and hope that you are as excited as we are about the upcoming changes to our game. Thank you for your continued support! https://store.steampowered.com/app/715400/Frozen_Flame {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/8074b16cc06712446f1ac7c199181a017471bbfa.gif If you want to learn more about Frozen Flame and future updates, please follow us on social media!

Dear Pilgrims, It's been three exciting months since Frozen Flame hit Early Access, and we've been working hard to make the game even better. Thanks to your valuable feedback, we've made several improvements and releases. We are now happy to announce some exciting changes and future updates. We recently conducted a survey on our Discord channel to gather your thoughts and ideas on what you'd like to see in the future of Frozen Flame. We're grateful for your participation, and we've taken your suggestions to heart. Based on the results, we've adjusted our development roadmap to better align with your expectations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/904ffde3384a48f3808a532929d3173b4431ca34.jpg One of our primary focuses in the near future will be the Survival mode and PvP. Three Orders stake a claim for resources and territory in the world, which grows harsher with every passing moment. Players must pick a side and lead their Order to victory by combating rivals, conquering islands, and vanquishing deadly bosses. The upcoming update will also introduce refined combat mechanics and re-tuned weapons, particularly the bow, and staff. To ensure a seamless roll-out, we will be implementing a new update delivery process, starting with a closed Alpha test in March. This will be followed by an open beta accessible to all players in Spring. As for the future plans, we are working on other features from the roadmap poll, and they will appear in the game in the later stages of development. Also, we are eager to engage with the community and have exciting plans for various player events in the near future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/8074b16cc06712446f1ac7c199181a017471bbfa.gif For more on Frozen Flame, follow the game on social media on the following channels.

NEW BOSS: THE GOLEM

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/3d8a7f3cba766fef94a28b9885fed8205099148e.jpg Golems are powerful, profane creatures. Born of the Faceless’ dark energy, they were thought to disappear after the demise of the dragons. Yet one of them still remains. Somewhere in the Astral, this mighty giant slumbers, guarding the portal core of the Dragon’s Grove.

• New location: Hollow Golem.
• New boss: The Golem.
• New Steam achievement: Defeat the Golem.
• Dragon’s Grove story arc finale.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/82705f88cb1524d95af0574c67a296b79760dc44.jpg Spear is a perfect weapon for those who want to hold their opponents at a medium range - not too close, and not too far. However, if a Cursed isn’t content with the distance between you two and tries to get away - politely inform him that you’d like him to stay.. by throwing a spear at his back.

• New weapon type: spear.
• 3 varieties: stone, bone and metal.
• Spear blueprints can be purchased from Bonehead and Blacksmith.

NEW DRAGON’S GROVE ISLANDS

While we are working on the next update, we want to share some other news about the development of Frozen Flame. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/fa3f2d8a9cf987a6b74c40a65c13317ca50356f6.jpg One of the cornerstones of our world and lore are characters, whom you meet along the way. And we always try to give them unforgettable stories and voices. And to make their voices unique, recognizable, and memorable we decided to invite several streamers to lend their voices to our characters. We feel that their voices are the most suitable to represent those characters and bring them to life. Now let us introduce our new cast: CohhCarnage as The Blacksmith. You can already meet and hear him in the game. Alvaena as Dora. BloodyFaster as Witch. And wait for more news - they are coming! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/8074b16cc06712446f1ac7c199181a017471bbfa.gif For more on Frozen Flame, follow the game on social media on the following channels.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/89ef83aa0b1c70bbd5e139c53a9d5cd578465347.jpg Greetings, pilgrims! Here are some changes and fixes we implemented as soon as we could. At the players' requests:

• Forge now produces resources indefinitely, adding them to stacks. Now you can queue up a bunch of stone blocks and continue exploring the Dragon's Grove without worrying about your production.
• A peace treaty has been signed with the rams - they will no longer attack players as long as players don't provoke them. Their respawn time has been increased.
• The Mountain King developed a dire need for the Heavenly Crystals. From now on he'll gladly accept them in exchange for the Nature Crystals or the Mithril Helmet recipe.

Other fixes:

• Fixed the bug causing game settings to reset.
• Fixed the issue causing some dishes to grant unintentionally high HP gains, and some - no boons at all.
• When used as an ingredient, apples now grant bonus physical resistance.
• Ghosts have once again gained ability to deal damage.
• Manticores became more aggressive and gained some extra HP.
• Soles are now appropriately displayed while wearing the Mithril armor set.
• Fixed the issue causing texts of some Memorials to get covered by their images.

NEW BIOME: DRAGON’S GROVE

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/2b3170dc459c68d8946b6f72d49020ac060a6ebe.jpg Centennial pines still remember the reign of the great dragons, and Library archives keep chronicles about life side by side with those winged giants. Now only bones scattered across the islands remind us of their former glory. Before the Rift this was a much different place: dragons shared their knowledge with humanity, and the Orders kept peace. In those days, the Curse was just a long-forgotten legend from folios’ pages. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/cea31e305be0da80adb5c327747ddecad665d7eb.jpg Explore the islands of the Dragon’s Grove, and learn more about the world of Arcana. New acquaintances will tell you about Frozen Flame, Orders, and previous inhabitants of these lands. Harsh weather conditions and new enemies will impose a great challenge upon Pilgrims.

• New biome: the Dragon’s Grove
• New places to explore: Library of the Keepers, Forge, Abandoned Mine, Islands of Woodhead and Julia, Hornhead’s Cave, Floating Tower, and many more!
• New NPCs: The Blacksmith, Julia, the Underground King, Fisherman, the Buried, the Blind man, Coward, the Tavern Keeper, the Wishing Well.
• 17 new islands.
• A multitude of new enemies, resources, and items to craft.

CONTINUATION OF THE MAIN CAMPAIGN

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/e1bd12a8d82e84dd74d307610923eba6c43dd0c3.jpg The Curse destroys all the best in any creature, granting it, in exchange, destructive powers. Enemies on the islands became stronger and their weaponry - even more dangerous. Pilgrims will have to carefully prepare for engagements with new foes.

• New, stronger Cursed: defenders, warriors, mages, archers.

The scent of pine resin is extremely attractive for manticores, so, unsurprisingly, those creatures can be frequently encountered in the Dragon’s Grove. One strike of their mighty paw with razor-sharp claws can shred a boar to scraps. And, much like smaller felines that like to push things off the table, manticores have a habit of pushing clueless Pilgrims from cliffs… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/085b7a99d776d90eb98a08f13cebf3b80413b220.jpg Lamb is a nutritious meal that can warm you up even in the coldest weather. But rams of the Dragon’s Grove won’t give up without a fight - their heavy horns can knock down even a Stone Elemental. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/682960c531cb1f950ae13e238e82b385d700c0d9.jpg Red bubbles, unlike their cerulean cousins, are hostile to others even during the day. Perhaps, their fiery temper is fueled by their love to spit out fire. Those bubbles attack any living creature on sight with their accurate flaming shots.

• New enemies: manticores, rams, fire bubbles.
• New quests.
• New items for trade.

NEW IDOL KEEPERS

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/b566bce10aa4096c1f261b240ecbf1d35a1d05d0.jpg Keepers of the Dragon’s Grove are much more dangerous than bosses of the Broken Valley. This time, preparation is crucial to achieving victory. Their destructive power will become a dangerous challenge for Pilgrims. Defeat bosses and search for the hearts of the great dragons. They will open a Portal to the next biome, which is already in development.

• New elite keepers.
• To open a new portal you will need 5 artifacts.

IRON WEAPONS AND ARMOR

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/179fb0470e939864d2d01e90bb6a176e523a4f04.jpg Craft armor and weapons worthy of a true warrior. Find ore, smelt it into ingots in the blast furnace and discover new recipes for a blacksmith’s workbench. Plate and chain armor allow you to take the heaviest of blows. And with newly forged weapons you will become a dangerous opponent for any enemy.

• 3 new workstations.
• 2 new armor sets and the ability to craft Leather armor.
• Metal weapons.

IMPROVED BUILDING

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/31b25827ca17c1b5fb32dbd3247dc08ab6c53209.jpg Build a true stone fortress! Blast furnaces for smelting iron and burning stones will allow you to create ingots and stone blocks to build a new house.

• New stone building modules.
• New resources to smelt: coal and mithril.
• New furniture types: armory, wooden bed, and metal floor lamp.
• Now you can place torches anywhere to light your path.

In future updates, we will add new types of building modules requested by players. Gameplay

• New essence: nature essence.
• Added 10 new Steam achievements.
• Bosses no longer respawn upon re-logging into the game.
• Changed resource cost of Deconstructor.
• Improved localization.
• Improved balance.
• Decreased durability for all bows.

Map

• Added new resource types: berry bushes, fish, and mushrooms.

Christmas Event

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/741b747704ce3f369a2a285ff4cc849295fdbfe9.jpg Ho ho ho! Hope that you behaved yourself this year because we have prepared a special gift. An island, filled to the brim with sounds of bells and smell of Christmas trees, is already available in the Sanctuary. There you can meet Krampus, and every Pilgrim can find a lot of beautiful decorations in his bag. He is ready to part with them for luscious gingerbread - Arcana’s traditional festive dish. The more sweets you will find the more decorations for your house you will be able to acquire. Look for the beacons in the Broken Valley - they will lead you to the Christmas presents with gingerbread (but, maybe, you will stumble across something even more interesting).

• Brand new Christmas island: a portal appeared in Sanctuary.
• New NPC-trader - Krampus.
• New item: gingerbread. You can eat it (and get a speed boost) or exchange it for decorations with Krampus.
• Christmas presents appeared everywhere!

Festive decorations

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/d13b44967a9f326216b9b6cea6d593e4a8f302e5.jpg In winter, it is a custom to decorate not only the Christmas tree but also your own house. And decorations, which you can get from Krampus, will help you with that. Wooden furniture, candles, lamps, and many other items will help you adorn your house and fill it with coziness and warmth. We will proceed to add more decorations in the future.

• 10 new decorations to embellish the interior.

Difficulty settings on the game start

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/0f89bdda87f663bcdb9e964d93531ef8070e8cc3.jpg It is important to us that everyone will be able to play Frozen Flame at their own pace. So we added a difficulty choice at the start of Local Play. You can also change the difficulty for already existing games. For those who love customization, we added an option to ignore difficulty settings by using line bIgnoreDifficulty = true; in the Game.ini file.

• Added difficulty setting in the local play

Gamepad improvements

This update brings you much-needed changes for gamepad controls: we have improved existing functions and added new ones. We also expanded gamepad support for inventory and other interfaces. We have also introduced target lock into the game - now you will be able to choose and focus on one target. You can expect even more improvements for gamepad controls in the future.

• Gamepad is fully supported now.
• Added target lock.
• Added an option to decrease sensitivity even further.

Emotion menu

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/79d84f52343606cc5d8c27e893898d0e73836ac6.jpg Dance, cry, laugh or scream - now it will be even easier to show your emotions in the game. The new menu allows you to choose any emotion without the need to type it in the chat.

• Added a new emotion menu.

Idols of Broken Valley

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/fdcc0288a9a3cad0eda5faa6dc8a86ab86a0b94d.jpg Battles with the bosses of Broken Valley are now more dangerous than ever. Even the forces of nature will fight against you alongside the Cursed. Poisonous thorns, fire traps, fierce blizzards - overcome these challenges to reach the boss. But this fight can’t be won with brute strength and sharp weapons - only with dexterity and wits.

• Improved boss arenas in Broken Valley.

Stone stove

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/bba4d4039020230fcebb471fbd768442123d4973.jpg We saw that a lot of players place bonfires in their houses, so we decided to add a stone stove. It is not only a decoration but also a place to cook your food and keep you warm. Now bonfires can only cook recipes that require one ingredient, while a stove allows you to cook 2-ingredient recipes.

• New item: stone stove.
• The number of cooking slots in bonfires was reduced to 1.

New Woodhead

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/56edc2d62b32cf7fb59ec37c24bb1448fc1045ca.jpg We updated Woodhead’s model to make him look more otherworldly and magical. His animations were also improved.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/adbdbf4a487eed92d0aa65344312e6b8bce04c92.jpg Greetings, pilgrims! Currently, we are working on the first update for the game, which you can expect in the first half of December.

Combat

We are continuing to improve the combat system. This hotfix includes the following changes:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/eda363c96a1213640ba238d5de7b896cd7ce3284.jpg Today’s update is focused on improving quality of life by adding additional gameplay settings.

New gameplay settings

Fly settings We have noticed that you didn’t like that we took away your ability to fly inside energy barriers. This shouldn’t be the case in the first place - it was just a bug that crawled into the Early Access release. But we heard you and added an option to turn this off. Please keep in mind that Cradle of Keepers was designed with this limitation in mind. Encumbrance Your feedback made it evident that the current encumbrance system is simply not enjoyable, so we decided to tune it. Now when the character is over-encumbered, they won't be so severely slowed down, but won't be able to sprint. However, if you carry too much (above 100% of the max carry weight), you will face some limitations. We also added a toggle and a setting for the encumbrance threshold. Other settings

• Changed the name of an argument that was responsible for the health received after the resurrection.
• Added an argument that allows you to change the amount of refunded resources after you demolish building modules.

All settings list was updated at Game.ini file: https://github.com/DreamsideInteractive/FrozenFlameServer/blob/main/Game.ini

Local Play settings

We added a guide on how to customize local play if you don’t play on a dedicated server. You can find it by following this link: https://github.com/DreamsideInteractive/FrozenFlameServer/blob/main/LocalCoopSettings.md We will add a separate interface to change the settings of your game in the future.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented some players from crafting Loom. You can find it on Artisan Table.
• Changed the maximum number of items in a stack for planks and other resources.
• Log weight was reduced.
• Fixed ritual in Bard Island. Now it completes automatically.

Greetings, pilgrims! As we advance on our adventure, it feels like the right time to share more information about its milestones. Take a look at what we have planned for the future as we keep progressing through Early Access. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/14a7bd8d38d87f68e14c049a692bdd62ecea15b8.jpg For more on Frozen Flame, follow the game on social media on the following channels.

We can’t stop sharing news with you today. Our launch was rocky and we know about it. We already provided you with an option to host your own servers on Windows and Linux, but we want to push it even further - we will cover your server rent! Yes, we have started refunding your server rent. You will receive your funds back to your payment method, and you could still use the server you purchased for free. You are eligible for a refund if:

You rent the server before the 17th of November, 7:20 PM CET;

You have paid using PayPal or Visa/MasterCard If you deposited funds beforehand and used them (fully or partially) to rent the server, then you are not eligible for a refund. If you have used WeChat or some other payment method, then you can ask for a time extension for your server - just contact GPortal. There will be also a 50% discount for one month of server rent on GPortal. This offer will last until Monday. You can get it by following this link. And we won’t stop there! During Cyberweek on GPortal, which will last from 21.11.22 to 28.11.22, 9 AM CET, there will be another 50% discount for one-month server rent, without the need for a link. So you will have 9 days to get a 50% discount. That sums it up for this update. We appreciate everyone’s feedback about the game and the server situation. We wouldn’t be here without our community and we hope that you will continue to be patient with us as we work to repair this

Small update for you, pilgrims! At 12 PM Pacific Time we will update the game to add an option for dedicated servers. After this update, you will be able to host your own servers on Windows and Linux.
