 Trailer: 'Heartbeats' (debut gameplay trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxTxUL_8VkA  Frostpunk is released on April 24thwebsite | twitter | wikia synopsis posted:In the summer of 1886 the snowstorms began. Crops failed, people starved. Millions fled South. They met only chaos, famine, and death.  quote:From the creators of This War of Mine (11bit Studios), Frostpunk is the first game of society survival; a mixture of city builder, survival and society simulation. THE CITY MUST SURVIVE Frostpunk is a city-survival game where heat means life and every decision comes with a cost. Ensure you have enough food to survive while you scout for survivors, resources and a hope for the future. Society is a group of people abiding the same rules and sharing similar beliefs. Establishing laws and customs will be a crucial factor shaping your society. Will you allow child-labour? How will you treat the sick and wounded? Do you pad your food supply with sawdust? Will you banish criminals to the harsh wasteland? These choices will challenge a player’s tactical skills, while questioning one’s morality.  THE GENERATOR The beating heart and main source of heat in your city. Keep it fed with coal to keep your people warm. It consumes 6 coal per hour at base level (144/day) and can be sent into overdrive for a number of hours to increase the existing heat zone temperature by one level without consuming extra coal. Tip: Overdrive is best used at night when everybody is at home to benefit from the extra heat, it can be turned off during the day to reduce the stress on the generator.  RESOURCES Workers - Your weary survivors and citizens. Engineers - A specialized class of people, engineers can be assigned to grant a boost in production from buildings, they can also gather at a faster rate than workers. Children - Gather at a slower rate, depending on your choice of laws they may not be able to work in dangerous jobs or work at all. Coal - Collect coal from surface deposits to feed the generator. Research and build a coalmine to gather longterm stockpiles. Wood - Gathered from wooden crates or construct a sawmill to process frozen trees. Wood is used to build structures and research technologies. Steel - Gather steel from wreckage or mine it from an iron deposit with a Steelworks. Steam Core - A rare item which can only be found via exploration. Used to build advanced buildings and machinery. Raw Food - Send out hunters to gather food, or let the populace eat corpses if the need arises. Rations - Turn your raw food into two rations in a Cookhouse to boost efficiency. Tip: A human will eat 1 ration per day. Starving people eat 2 rations per day. If you have run out of rations people will eat 1 raw food per day. People eating raw food instead of processed rations are more likely to get sick.  BOOK OF LAWS Find ways to fight hunger, sickness, boredom and the human condition with The Book of Laws. The outcome of these decisions will impact the happiness and hope of your citizens. Think carefully as issued laws may block access to laws with opposing effects. Allow or ban child labour? Establish an neighbourhood watch, which might lead to guard stations or the introduction of propaganda creating a faction of deserters, or create a safe space for your citizens? Will you choose to establish a cemetery for your fallen citizens or will you use their bodies as a source of food and vital organs for your injured?  OTHER A two and a half hour demo of the game from Lewis and Tom of the yogscast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuZNWmfpBnE&t=395s (I recommend checking this video out for a few minutes if you want to see what the game is about) "Getting through the first 10 days with a solid base" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrCAbUirA18 Trailer - Heartbeats (debut gameplay trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxTxUL_8VkA Trailer - Whiteout (cinematic trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6saqbmVT9qk Trailer - Serenity (date trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPCgltNJoHI Victorian edition: "Grab the Collector's Edition for just $34.99 USD!

This looks right up my alley and what's more I'm glad you haven't teased me with a game that isn't coming out for 4 years. My wishlist is long enough!

poo poo, this looks pretty cool. I assume there's a cannibalism option for when things go real bad? Edit: The name kind of sucks though.

The upgrades/DLC they did for This War of Mine were great and prove they have a good grasp of gamefeel so I'm insanely hype for this

I am instantly biased against this game because "lol steampunk" but I guess I'll give it a chance.
