Frozenbyte

Community Manager
09/2020 – 12/2020
Frozenbyte is an independent Finnish game developer, most known for its Trine series. I worked with their Support and Community team on a project basis for the autumn of 2020. My main task was to plan and launch the official Russian-speaking channels for Starbase before its release into Early access.
Starbase
Starbase is a space-themed MMO, set to go from Closed Beta into Early Access in Q1 of 2021. Due to the large amount of Russian players, and a need to unify them, I was tasked with planning and launching relevant Russian-speaking channels: a VKontakte page, Discord channels, and forums sections. I moderated these sections, translated content such as patch and progress notes, and created original Russian-language content relevant to that specific userbase.
I also assisted the rest of the development team in questions of localisation and website planning.
Other
In addition to my work on Starbase, I worked with the team on community management and player support of other Frozenbyte franchises across Discord, forums, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit.
Our bigger projects were the announcements and launches of two games: Boreal Blade going into Early Access on Steam, and Trine 4: Melody of Mystery DLC being unveiled. As a team, we wrote marketing texts, coordinated their distribution across social media, and were on-call for the launch events, assisting new players.
I also got to participate in other community initiatives, such as contributing to the annual Frozenbyte Christmas Calendar and an in-game send-off for the company’s old legendary van.
