Both of these bundles will be available for a limited time only, so grab them whilst it’s freshhhhh 😎❄️

[h3]Hello Snowdwellers![/h3]

Before we get started, A reminder that Wildfrost will be 30% off in Chucklefish’s 13th Anniversary Publisher sale from today at 18:00 BST, so there’s no better time to dive in! Don’t dilly dally, as the sale only runs to July 29!

Last update we announced the final Wildfrost update, well… we lied! We have one more surprise for you, with the help of miya_kope and our wonderful discord community, we are excited to announce the game now features official mod support via the Steam workshop!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1811990/workshop/


Have you ever dreamt of playing Wildfrost with randomized card stats? Googly eyes? Or perhaps adding your own crazy card and charm ideas to the game? Well now you can! The Wildfrost workshop already features over 60 mods created by our amazing community, with many more in the works.


[h3]How To Play Mods[/h3]

1. Ensure you're updated to v1.2.2 on Steam
   
2. Subscribe to the mods you want on Steam Workshop
   
3. Select 'Play Wildfrost With Mods' when you launch Wildfrost
   
4. Select 'Mods' in the Main Menu
   
5. Press the Bell Icon next to the Mod you want to install
   
6. PLAY THAT MOD.
   

For an extended guide on how to access and build mods check the wiki, or join the Wildfrost discord discord and check out the #modding channel to learn about adding your own! There’s loads of exciting developments going on there but we wanted to highlight one in particular…

[h2]Mod Spotlight: Snowfall[/h2]



One of the experiences we want to highlight is Snowfall! It’s a clever mod by a talented team of 5 where you play as the BAD GUYS working their way through to the various biomes in reverse order to take down the Snowdwellers.



‘The Wildfrost is growing more anxious. It knows the adventurers that come to slay its source will never end. There is only one way to ensure the eternal storm...destroying Snowdwell. The Guardian calls upon his minions to storm Snowdwell in retaliation, hoping to bring an end to the last civilization among the snow. Will the Snowdwellers survive the incoming storm? Or will the Wildfrost forever rest upon the land?’

SNOWFALL flips the script and introduces a PLETHORA of new companions, charms, enemies, bosses and items. With companions such as the portly Pebble Hog, or the Spicy Pipper, you’ll no doubt be cooking up new strategies to keep those Snowdwellers snowed under.


Your new foes will have absolutely no chill. With entirely new factions developed for you to fight based off the synergy from the playable cards within the base game, there’s so much to love in this mod. The Cleaving Crowers are also a force to be reckoned with! Though they may fight amongst themselves, their strength is fueled by the loss of their fallen comrades. It's fun to see them in action, but be prepared for an intense battle if you cross their path!



There’s plenty more on the way besides Snowfall so keep a keen eye out in the Wildfrost discord for more magical mods.

Full Change Log here including bug fixes: Official Wildfrost Wiki

First up, let’s introduce Nova!

If you’ve got eyes as sharp as Pootie’s, you probably remember Nova from our key art by Carles, dating all the way back to the Wildfrost launch. Fans have been clamoring for her inclusion, and we’re hyped to announce she’s finally here to kick some serious Pengoon butt!



We also have two new enemy types from two new battles to threaten to put you on ice: The Inky Sacks and Gunk Bugs!

But don’t be fooled by their cute clan names, because these critters will funk up your party if you don’t get your deck in order.



We heard you liked Noomlin Biscuits, so naturally we thought we’d add some Zoomlin Wafers to the mix too!

This delicious treat is only one of several new cards that add the adorable new addition to the game: the Zoomlins, which will let you play a card for free, but only once before they run away!



Last but not least, Balatro’s Jimbo joins the pack! You’ll have to find out how to unlock him, but for now, let's just say a certain short guy, known for his lack of fashion could help you out… 👀



We recommend looking over the entire changelist found on the Official Wildfrost Wiki in your own time, as there’s a lot that’s been tweaked, balanced and added in this update!

Before you go, we also want to let you know that we’re running a competition for this gorgeous Wildfrost card, handmade by the incredibly talented Pierrot Cards. Check out this Twitter post for more info on how to be in with a chance of winning your very own Big Berry 🍓❤️

That’s all for the moment! Before we go, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s been a part of our development journey over the last few years. Every like, share, comment, playtest, critique, meme and piece of fan art has made this game what it is today, and we can’t thank you enough. This community is incredible ❤️

Until next time, please let us know what you think either in the comments here, the steam forums or over on Discord where you can also see what we’re up to 👀

Stay Frosty!❄️
