New Year, Same Penguin 🐧
After a needed break we're back and excited for 2025! 🎆
Sliding into 2025!
We hope everyone had a good December break, and a great start to 2025!
We took a much deserved break and closed shop for a couple of weeks to recharge. We are excited for this year and what might bring for Frozen Machine. Stick with us during a new year of, what we assume will be, amazing things to come.
We want to hear about our community however, are there any resolutions you hope to accomplish this year? Let us know, we love to hear from you.
Penguin vs. Pirates Update
While development on the game continues we want to put some new touches before we show off all that is new, please stay tuned for more information.
YouTube Treasure Trove
In case you've missed it, we've been uploading content to both of our YouTube channels.
On our main channel you'll be able to find speed draws of different key art pieces we've been developing for Penguin vs. Pirates. We have a playlist1 that updates every time a new video gets released.
This main channel also has many YouTube Shorts in case you like to consume content without rotating your phone 😝.
If you instead prefer to watch the unedited version for the development of those key arts then you can head over to Frozen Machine Archives channel2 where you can see how long it took us for each piece.
Groove to some carefully selected tunes while watching and as always let us know in the comments which was your favourite 🎧.
Boss Rush Network
The 2024 Bossies
Our friends over at the Boss Rush Network3 will have a celebration of video games called The 2024 Bossies!
The 2024 Bossies has great categories like Developer of the Year, Best Remake/Remaster, Best Villain/Antagonist, among many others. Be sure to check their website4 for the full list.
As indie developers we love the work the team is putting together to create their own events to celebrate the hobby we all love.
What is Boss Rush Network?
The Boss Rush Network was co-founded by 3 friends who wanted to podcast together and had a single motto "Be Better". This motto was aimed to spread the joy of gaming, promote acceptance, encourage creativity, and create a positive, safe, space for gaming discussions. The team has expanded since the initial inception but the motto remains the same. They've always been an advocate for smaller developers and we're very lucky to have been included on their projects in the past.
The 2024 Bossies will take place on January 16th and will include many surprises. Maybe a small team will make a cameo? 😉 Be sure to add the event to your calendar and subscribe to their YouTube channel5 to tune in.
