- Project Development News 🔥 - 5 February 2024
The year 2024 is well underway, and we are preparing something new, unexpected and unusual for our project --- and you will soon be able to test it if you haven’t had time to play the demo that we published as part of the steam festival. We don't forget those who supported us and the awards will find their heroes! From the latest news: we took part in several exhibitions in 2023, including UniCon & Game Expo Minsk 2023, which gave us new experience and the opportunity to attract new audiences to the project. Finally took part in the Steam festival "#NextFest". We got new people as a very good addition to the team in game design and coding. Overall, the year was busy and interesting. Wait for news --- we are planning to gather some people for a closed playtest!

- The Idea of the Game and Concepts - 7 February 2021
We rush into your news feed again to tell you about the watercolor hand-made indie game - The Frosted, the game which we love and are determined to push to the release. This time we want to share the background of the idea itself. Ursula's adventures refer to the fairy-tale by H.C. Andersen, but the plot seems similar only at first glance. Like the brave little girl Gerda, our main character Ursula sets out on a journey to save her brother Trin. Magical creatures which are said to be in confrontation with the people stand in her way. Ilva (whose prototype was the Snow Queen, and in the game called the Ice Queen) is the main antagonist of the backstory, in the fight with her the main character gets her first magical abilities. "The story began one dark winter night, in the snowstorm. On such nights, all people hide at their homes in the hope of preserving the remnants of heat. The Ice Qu…
- The Character Creation Concept - 28 November 2020
Is the process of external and internal changes of the main character of “The Frosted” logical? Today we will tell you about the most beloved child, the most daring girl, and about the one whose strong will leads to a logical ending, no matter what it becomes as a result. Perhaps there will be a little snotty and blind adoration in the article. Be patient and we will tell you the most important things! The Idea Ursula was born long before we came to the creation of the project. In the distant years, in her youth, our artist, Marina, drew a girl - perhaps these were echoes of herself in a cartoon form, perhaps, the creative foundation was simply being formed that time. Personality There is a description of the name “Ursula” on the Internet. Very curious, by the way. According to the description, the name “... endows its owner with a choleric temperament and a strong masculine character.…
