DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

The Forever Winter — is a cooperative tactical survival horror shooter developed by Fun Dog Studios, a team of industry veterans with experience working on AAA games such as Doom Eternal и The Witcher 3. Development began with the goal of creating a unique and exciting survival experience in a post-apocalyptic world filled with giant war machines. The main focus of the game is the fight for survival in the harsh conditions of eternal winter, where players must unite in teams to confront enemies and extract resources.

ForeverWinter Win64 Shipping 2024 09 28 23 47 10 584

The development process was aimed at creating the most intense and unpredictable gameplay. One of the main tasks of the developers was to combine elements of tactical action and survival horror, so that players felt a constant threat from the environment and enemies. The Forever Winter uses elements of dynamic interaction with the world, where each battle is unique due to the variability of enemies and their goals. Players have to adapt to changing conditions and use their skills to survive in this harsh world.

Team Fun Dog Studios also worked to create a realistic ecosystem and technological world. The game features a struggle for resources and power between three main factions, each trying to dominate the ruins of a lost world. The storyline highlights the impact of human greed and destructive technology, which reflects the overall dark and hopeless tone of the game.

GRAPHICS

Graphics in The Forever Winter impresses with its realism and detailed development. The game was developed on the basis of advanced rendering technologies, allowing the creation of huge open locations with dynamic changes in weather and time of day. The game uses snow and ice landscapes, which create an atmosphere of overwhelming, cold and hostile nature. World The Forever Winter is filled with details: every element, from the snow covering buildings and equipment to the destroyed cities and military bases, creates a feeling of complete immersion in a harsh post-apocalyptic world.

Particular attention was paid to creating realistic visual effects. During battles, players can see explosions that tear the icy surface, falling snow that can impair visibility, and the destruction of objects that create chaos on the battlefield. The game engine also supports improved lighting, reflection, and shadow effects, which gives each moment of the game greater cinematography and depth.

GAME ENGINE

The Forever Winter runs on a powerful game engine that supports dynamic environmental changes and complex interactions between players and the world. One of the key features of the engine is the ability to render huge mechanical enemies that are the central threat to players. These machines can literally dominate the battlefields, their size and power creating a real threat that forces players to look for strategic solutions to destroy them.

The engine also supports flexible stealth mechanics, where players can use the dark corners of the world to move stealthily, avoiding encounters with powerful enemies. Each enemy unit has its own purpose and tasks, which adds complexity to the combat system. Enemies do not simply attack according to a pattern, they act as intelligent beings, reacting to the actions of players and coordinating their attacks.

ForeverWinter Win64 Shipping 2024 09 29 10 31 25 856

Thanks to the engine's power, the game supports a cooperative mode, where players can team up to complete missions and fight enemies. All elements of the combat system and interaction with the world are designed to make each mission feel unique and unpredictable, requiring teamwork and tactical thinking from players.

The Forever Winter not only presents a dark look at the future of humanity, but also offers complex and varied survival mechanics in the conditions of eternal winter, where every battle and every mission becomes a real test for players.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

Minimum settings

At minimum graphics settings The Forever Winter, players can expect simplified textures, basic lighting effects and shadows, and a limited draw distance for objects. Despite the reduction in graphical quality, the game will remain smooth and playable even on systems with minimal specifications. Environmental elements and visual effects such as snow, ice, and weather will be rendered with less detail.

Recommended settings

At maximum settings, the game shows off its visual power with high-quality textures, realistic shadows and lighting, and dynamic weather effects. Environmental elements such as snowfalls and icy surfaces become much more detailed, creating a feeling of complete immersion in the game world. The visuals look cinematic, and the graphics become truly impressive when using powerful graphics cards.

MSI Afterburner

 
All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using MSI Afterburner. The purpose of the test is to determine how video cards from different manufacturers behave under the same conditions. Below is a video of a test segment from the game: 

 Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes 1920x1080, 2560x1440 и 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings without upscales.

In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
