Chinese Frontiers News

While constructing grand monuments and managing settlements are at the heart of Chinese Frontiers, it’s the people who bring the world to life. Compelling protagonists and quirky villagers with their own stories - the characters in our game are designed to immerse you in a vibrant, evolving world.

[h2]Celebration of the craftsmanship[/h2]

In Chinese Frontiers, every character tells a story. From farmers sowing seeds to carpenters shaping wood and masons working with stones, our figures are a celebration of craftsmanship and spirit of ancient China. While our protagonists are still waiting for their grand introduction, today we want to focus on the broader cast of NPCs who make up the vibrant, bustling world you’ll explore.



Because it’s not just about how they look - it’s about how they live. Each character is designed with a deep respect for their craft, culture, and the time period they represent. Their movements, attire, and even the tools they wield have been carefully researched to ensure they feel authentic while remaining enjoyable for players to embody.

[h2]A Tale Worth Telling[/h2]

Characters in Chinese Frontiers aren’t just static figures or decorative elements - they’re integral to the game’s storytelling and world-building. Their daily routines and challenges paint a vivid picture of life in ancient China. As you interact with these individuals, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the world they inhabit.



To achieve this, we’ve poured our hearts into crafting animations that not only look realistic, but also resonate emotionally. It’s about connecting you with the characters on a personal level, making every interaction meaningful and every task rewarding.

[h2]Behind the design[/h2]

We could talk about these craftsmen all day, but why not hear it straight from the source? In a special video, our talented 2D/3D Artist, Michal, shares his thoughts on what makes character design in Chinese Frontiers so special.

From the inspirations behind their appearances to the meticulous process of animating their movements, Michal dives into the artistry and passion that have shaped the souls of our game. Make sure to give it a watch and let us know what you think!

Just like the snake symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and cleverness, we hope these qualities will guide you throughout the journey ahead. Here’s to a year of good fortune and success - both in life and in Chinese Frontiers!

We’re back with another exciting update straight from the heart of Chinese Frontiers. If you’ve been following along, you already know that every detail in our game is crafted with passion, care, and a deep respect for history and culture. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes to explore one of the most artistry-striking elements of the game - our cutscenes.

[h2]Let’s Talk Cutscenes![/h2]

Cutscenes are more than breaks between gameplay - they’re windows into the soul of a story. In Chinese Frontiers, they set the tone, deepen the narrative, and help players immerse in our world. From epic moments to quiet, introspective scenes, these animations are designed to feel as authentic as the monuments you’re building.

Instead of opting for the popular 3D style, we decided to take a different route. Our animated cutscenes are inspired by traditional Chinese ink wash techniques, creating a visual language that feels both timeless and unique. Every frame feels like it’s been lifted from an ancient scroll, blending the fluidity of ink with the dynamic storytelling of animation.



But that’s not all - you might notice subtle hints of comic book artistry in these forms. The result? A style that bridges tradition and modern storytelling, perfectly capturing the spirit of Chinese Frontiers!

[h2]Something more… [/h2]

But the cutscenes in Chinese Frontiers aren’t there just to look pretty! They’re an integral part of the journey. By guiding players through our characters' lives, they deepen your connection to the world and its history.

Whether you’re witnessing a touching moment between family members or a pivotal event in their village, these scenes add layers of meaning to your building adventures.



Want to know more about how these stunning animations came to life? We’ve got a special treat for you! Check out our latest video, where Kuba, our talented concept artist, dives into the creative process and the inspiration behind the art. Trust us, it’s a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the intersection of history and creativity.

The holiday season is coming, and while the world outside is sparkling with festive cheer, life in Chinese Frontiers is all about addressing the essential needs. This time of year reminds us of what truly matters - caring for ourselves and those around us.

With that in mind, we think this is a perfect opportunity to talk about survival - what you’ll need to keep going in the game and how to nurture the people who call your village home. Grab a cup of hot tea, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, and let’s dive in!

[h2]The Builder’s Needs[/h2]

As a builder in Chinese Frontiers, you’re at the center of everything. But to build something big, first, you need to take care of yourself. Your stamina will be your constant companion, powering every step, jump, and construction effort. While it gradually recovers, pushing too hard without a break could leave you winded.

Then there’s hunger and thirst - the most basic yet critical needs. A growling stomach or parched throat can quickly turn even the simplest task into a challenge. The good news? Cooking in Chinese Frontiers isn’t just practical - it’s satisfying. Every dish not only fills you up, but also provides other benefits: boosts statuses or temporarily stops them from depleting.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀  ⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀  

And let’s not forget about health! Whether you take a nasty tumble or face an unexpected hazard, maintaining good shape is vital for survival. Managing this aspect isn’t just about staying alive - it’s about thriving.

Oh, and remember to keep your stats high to unlock bonuses that make your journey even more rewarding! Trust us, you won’t regret it!

[h2]The Heart of the Village[/h2]

But survival isn’t just about you. Your village is a living, breathing community that relies on your leadership. Each villager has their own needs, and meeting them is key to creating a thriving settlement.

First up? Home. A roof over their heads is non-negotiable. Without a proper house, no villager will consider joining your ranks. Providing shelter is the first step in turning your settlement into a bustling hub, so take care of it!

Once your villagers have a place to call their own, it’s time to get to work. Building a Warehouse is essential for managing the logistics of your growing community. This central hub keeps everything organized, guaranteeing that food, tools, and materials are always on hand.



Speaking of food, your workers won’t get far on empty stomachs. Stocking the Warehouse with enough supplies ensures they stay nourished and ready for the day’s tasks. Pair that with the right tools and resources, and your village will be a well-oiled machine, ready to take on any challenge.

[h2]Celebrate with us[/h2]

As we celebrate this festive season, we’re reminded of how far we’ve come - and how exciting the road ahead looks. Don’t forget to follow us on social media and join our official Discord server for more behind-the-scenes updates, sneak peeks, and chances to share your thoughts with us.

Big things are coming, Builders - stay tuned!

Until next time,
The Chinese Frontiers Team

As you embark on your journey in Chinese Frontiers, diversity of materials at your disposal is one of the most exciting aspects of the game. Every structure you build will be a unique creation, crafted from resources that reflect the rich story and rugged beauty of the world around you.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at some of the heavy materials that will be the foundation of your masterpieces, from sturdy stone to time-worn bricks…

[h2]A World of Materials = A World of Possibilities[/h2]

In Chinese Frontiers, we’ve carefully chosen a variety of supplies that will not only offer you a wealth of options, but also immerse you in the authentic building practices of the era we’re drawing inspiration from. Each construction element has its own distinct feel and role in construction, allowing you to build structures that are as unique as the landscape itself.

[h2]Stone[/h2]

Stone, crafted in the stonemason's workshop, is the backbone of construction in Chinese Frontiers. It’s a building component that speaks of permanence, strength, and resilience, ideal for creating structures that stand the test of time. Whether you're building walls or towering fortifications, stone is the go-to choice when you need to create something enduring and mighty.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

Its weight and texture lend a sense of gravitas to any building. It could be used as foundations for village structures, elements of fortifications and walls, as well as in machinery, ensuring that the world you build feels rooted in history and resilient against the forces of nature.

[h2]Log[/h2]

Logs, crafted in the carpenter's workshop, bring the natural beauty of the surrounding environment into your buildings, offering warmth and a sense of organic craftsmanship. They’re perfect for structures that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The grain and texture of the wood create a rustic, authentic feel, while its flexibility makes it perfect for structures that can stand up to the elements.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀   

Used as structural beams and wooden frameworks in most buildings throughout the game, painted wooden elements, and even components in machinery, logs bring both functionality and aesthetic appeal to the world you build.

[h2]Brick[/h2]

Bricks, made in the brickyard, have a timeless appeal that reflects the craftsmanship of past generations. It brings a sense of artistry and structure to your buildings.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀   

Whether for large, imposing structures or smaller, more personal spaces, bricks prove versatile in any situation. They’re used as filling for the majority of walls in village buildings, as well as key elements in fortifications and walls, making them an essential material for both practical and aesthetic purposes.

[h2]Roof Tile[/h2]

When it comes to completing buildings, roof tiles, that are also made in the brickyard, are the finishing touch that ties everything together. Not only do they provide protection from the harsh weather conditions, but also add a layer of elegance to your structures.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀⠀   

Crafted with precision, roof tiles give your buildings a distinctive, culturally rich appearance. Used as roofing in advanced workshops in the village and in monuments, they are a versatile material that adds character to your structures.

We’re thrilled to see how you’ll use these materials to bring your visions to life in Chinese Frontiers!

As the world of Chinese Frontiers takes shape, we’re excited to bring you closer to the heart of its vast, immersive landscapes. In this devlog, we’ll give you a sneak peek into the breathtaking variety of terrains that await you.

From sun-scorched deserts to serene mountain peaks and bustling village scenes, our world is designed to be as diverse as the tools and structures you’ll create… So grab a cup of your favorite tea and let’s dive in!

[h2]A World of Visual Delights[/h2]

One of the pillars of Chinese Frontiers is our commitment to crafting a visually stunning world. We want every Builder to feel the thrill of discovery with every step they take, whether it's navigating the challenges of a harsh desert or soaking in the tranquility of a remote creek.

Today, we want to showcase three locations that embody this variety. Each of them tells its own story, waiting for you to uncover it. So, without prolonging - let’s explore what makes them unique!

[h2]Majesty in the Sands[/h2]

The desert is an unforgiving yet awe-inspiring landscape. Endless dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, their golden hues shifting with the sun's journey across the sky. This barren expanse isn’t just about survival - it’s about finding beauty in simplicity.



Expect challenging building conditions, but also opportunities to create striking structures that stand tall against the desert winds. Watch for hidden oases, where nature defies the odds and offers a brief respite from the harsh surroundings.

[h2]Breathtaking vistas[/h2]

Nestled among towering peaks, the mountain regions offer breathtaking vistas that will test your building skills. Dense forests, cascading streams, and sheer cliffs make this terrain a feast for the eyes.



But don’t let the beauty fool you - building here requires ingenuity to overcome steep slopes and. Yet, the views are worth it. Imagine standing atop a completed structure, gazing over valleys bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. Everything is ahead of you, Builders!

[h2]Vibrant of Life[/h2]

But not every corner of Chinese Frontiers is wild and untamed. The village brings a sense of warmth and connection to the community. Here, the buzz of daily life fills the air with houses waiting to be built or explored.

It’s a place where you can truly feel the pulse of civilization. The village offers endless creative opportunities. And it’s extremely cozy too - just take a look yourself!
