Frostpunk Patch 1.1.0 Release Notes

New features:

• Added Survivor Mode!
  • Survive against all odds. There’s no active pause, the game will be very difficult and your progress will be saved on exit only.
• Added achievements for Survivor Mode
  • Brand new achievements that you can get only by beating the game on the Survivor Mode!
• Added Ansel SDK integration
  • Ansel is a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots and view in 360. Compose your screenshots from any position, adjust them with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share them in 360 degrees using your mobile phone, PC, or VR headset. That’s the theory. In practice, this tool allows you – among other things – to take super cool, high resolution screenshots like this one. You can learn more on the Ansel website.
