Pre-Alpha Gameplay Video
It’s a very early gameplay video, despite its very rough look, it already gives an idea of how the game will look like.
Modular Buildings
As we planned to make “semi-random” generated interiors for some buildings, especially instances, we picked modular buildings.The modular buildings suit very well for this purpose, so we’ve been working on assets which can be easily put together to make a wide range of floor plans. When we get this fully done every new game many buildings and key locations will have different floor plans, loot, events and quest inside them.
New Locations, City Buildings and Props...
The Crematorium - this building is used to be a boiler plant before the infection spread out, but then military forces found it a better use - burning dead and infected people alive.
The Docks - a small dock station, use to be a water link with the mainland during short summers, when the lake was free of ice.
The “railroad” men settlement - a small camp of survivors, they made a fortified camp on the railway road out of old carriages. Neutral to other lone survivors, but not that friendly and welcome to strangers they don’t know
The School №22 - one of the schools which were heavily damaged during the bomb attack. They say each school had a bomb shelter in its basement.
The Warehouses - this place is a haven for scavengers, many useful thing had been kept here.
City Buildings
NPCs
We also have started working on NPCs and their look
New Home for Frozen State community
Many people has been asking us, if there is an official forum or website of Frozen State community. Unfortunately, we didn’t have one, except the page on indieDB. However, since now we have a such place we can call home, the home for all those people who interested in the development of Frozen State, want give us feedback, ideas or anything else.

The new animations of Slink, made by Norek Decay
Thank you,
Snow Arc Team
The Slink looks pretty much like a Headcrab from Half Life.
Perhaps there are similarities, but headcrabs is not a reference for us, and it is certainly Slink sticks to the stomach of the victim. But headcrab jumping to the victims head. Same thing in aliens universe, and etc.
Never thought the slink looks like a headcrab, but if it does, simply because they are both spider-like creatures. Though, there are more deferences than similarities)))
