Chinese Frontiers News

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.

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!

Hey Chinese Builders!

We're back with fresh DevLog updates, straight from the recording studio where we just wrapped up the soundtrack for Chinese Frontiers!

[h3]What Unusual Thing Connects Poland and China?[/h3]

We know that people in China value ethnic music and love Frederick Chopin, who was actually Polish! Since we couldn't exactly ask Chopin to compose the music for our game, we got Ignacy Zalewski, Dean of Composition at Fryderyk Chopin University in Warsaw, to help us out. It's almost like getting Chopin, right?

Ignacy composed, and incredible musicians recorded, and now, here it is (imagine guzheng intro),
THE SOUNDTRACK FOR CHINESE FRONTIERS!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Well, it’s still in progress, but you can hear some pieces featuring various ethnic instruments like Guzheng, Er-hu, Suka Biłgorajska, Drums and Flutes. Not all these instruments are Chinese, but they’re all ethnic – that counts, still good enough. Plus, in Poland where we’re developing the game, we don’t have easy access to all Chinese instruments, so we improvised. Luckily, Mingjie played the guzheng, and Ada played the Er-hu. Awesome! 😊

The custom soundtrack is made just for you, to immerse you in the ancient Chinese atmosphere while exploring your world in Chinese Frontiers. The soundtrack will guide you through serene landscapes and bustling construction sites of the Great Wall, evoking wonder and peace. This music is incredible! You'll feel the calm and relaxation. We’ll also give you access to the soundtrack separately so you can enjoy it anytime, not just while building the Great Wall!

Stay tuned!

Please note that the soundtrack is still in development, but we’re excited to give you a sneak peek! :) Check out these tracks you’ll be able to enjoy while exploring the Chinese rural settlement.

[h3]We’d love to hear which one you like best—let us know in the comments![/h3]

[h3]For music geeks, here’s more about the artists and the recording process.[/h3]

The recordings took place last week at the prestigious Polish Radio studio. Each session was a journey, exploring the rich textures and emotive power of traditional Chinese music. To preserve sound clarity and simplify post-production, the musicians recorded their tracks in separated acoustics, ensuring that every note and nuance was captured with pristine detail.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The man behind this incredible musical experience is Ignacy Zalewski, a renowned composer of classical, film, theater, and radio music, and a professor at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. His expertise and vision have shaped a soundscape that transports players back to the era of the Great Wall's construction.



Musicians and their instruments:

• Katarzyna Gacek - Duda, a distinguished flutist, used an astounding variety of 20 different flutes to capture the essence of the era, enriching the soundtrack with layers of authenticity and depth.
  

• Adrianna Kafel - Wozniak, a versatile modern and baroque cellist, played the Er-hu and the Biłgoraj Suka, providing a haunting and evocative sound that perfectly complements the game's setting.
  

• Mingjie Yu, a guzheng master from Hubei province, contributed the timeless sounds of this ancient instrument, infusing the soundtrack with a profound sense of history and cultural heritage.
  

• Wojciech Lubertowicz, a multi-instrumentalist and sound director, provided the rhythmic foundation with his skillful drumming, ensuring that every beat resonates with the spirit of medieval China.
  

Sound Direction & Management:

Last but not least, we want to highlight Igor Szymański, the person without whom this entire project wouldn’t be possible. Igor is the Sound Director at SolidGames and is responsible for the sound direction of the game Chinese Frontiers. He coordinated, organized, and managed everything with the musicians and composer. Igor, you rock!
