- Fierce Friday Night Update - March 10, 2026 - 10 March 2026
Hello, this is AJ, the creator and developer of the FFN Universe.When we announced the roadmap two months ago, we mentioned that updates would resume around June. Well, we ended up making some quick but major improvements to the combat experience way ahead of schedule. We briefly considered holding these back for the June update, but we just couldn't wait to share them with you all, so we decided to push this build out early.1. Overhauled the overall movement logic (Walking, Running, and Dashing): • Rose will no longer slide around like she's running on an ice rink. • Rose can now dash while walking. • Survivors can now toggle "Always Run" on or off by pressing the Caps Lock key. (While implementing this, we also improved performance while running.)2. Fixed the "Ninja Crocodile" bug. • We found the root cause of the issue where a crocodile would instantly lunge and bite you again right…

- Hiderum Studios 2026 Roadmap - 24 January 2026
Good evening, survivors.As many of you may already know, our friendly out-of-town neighbors who've been helping our designer, AJ, and AJ's community recently "politely escorted" the mayor of another city back with them to their town. This should also help resolve the problems AJ's community has been facing, which may mean AJ can be back at work sooner than expected. AJ's main health issue hasn't been fully resolved yet, but we expect it to keep improving. For now, it's not significantly affecting game development.As we mentioned before, we're being cautious about resuming updates for FFN: EVE and releasing new games, because Steam's content policies have gotten somewhat stricter lately, apparently amid increased pressure from major payment processors. That said, Steam still has a Gore tag. The games we make are not pornographic, and they certainly don't promote or endorse child abuse. T…

- Frozen October News (Security Patch for Unity CVE-2025-59489) - 8 October 2025
Hello, this is AJ, the designer and developer behind FFN: EVE.Steamworks notified all developers about a critical Unity security issue. For player safety, we have released a hotfix that addresses CVE-2025-59489. We have verified that the update works well, but if you run into launch issues or anything unusual, please let us know.I'm not fully back to development yet, but I am happy to talk with you and share some news.0. The major issue in my region is not resolved yet. The good news is that part of it may be fixed soon, which could let me return. Our dear friend in D.C. also shared important information that the “final boss” issue might be addressed soon, although the timing is uncertain. What we can say is that a major global event this month could be an important turning point.1. We ran into an unexpected “secret boss.” Two major credit card companies are pressuring small indie devel…
- Frozen June News - 25 June 2025
Good evening, survivors. This is Marvin.If this is your first time hearing from me, here's a quick intro. I'm not a developer or a designer. I'm just a regular person who helps test gameplay and talks with survivors, media folks, curators, and YouTubers. AJ is the one who actually designs, builds, and directs the game. Right now, AJ is on leave (not exactly by choice).Anyway, we have some news to share.New Website for Achievers and ExplorersSince I can't make games myself, I do what I can. That usually means typing. I've been making the FFN Universe DB, and I'm updating it regularly. I hope it helps as you explore Lumainaho State.Everything on the site, including images and text, is free to use as long as it's not for commercial purposes. Feel free to use any of it for your blogs, wikis, articles, or whatever else you're working on.We Moved OfficesWe relocated from a cold, snowy, tree-f…
- Frozen Discovery Survey - 1 May 2025

Cheers, FFN Team
- Frozen April News - 28 April 2025
Hello, this is AJ, the designer and developer behind FFN: EVE. Updates for FFN: EVE may resume within the next two months (or, if things go well, within three weeks). Honestly, my neighbors and I thought our issues would have been resolved a month ago, but things actually got worse. What I can tell you for sure is that by the start of this summer, a huge six- to seven-month-long ordeal will come to an end. To be honest, there is a very small chance that things could turn out worse than they are now. If that happens, I might not be able to continue making games. However, there is a high probability that we will overcome this, thanks to the strong and kind neighbors from the faraway city, just like Rose, John, and Jane once helped out Huckletwain. So please, do not worry too much. I might explain more later, but even though I have not been able to work on the FFN Universe for five months,…
- Off The Record - 9 March 2025
Hey, Marvin here. Today, I wanna talk to you in a more relaxed tone. The Frozen March News might be coming soon, but before that, there's something I wanna share. So here I am. About the FFN Team As some of you might have guessed, our team is small. Just three members: Designer AJ, Yume, and me. In reality, AJ develops almost everything alone, while Yume handles Japanese localization. Both Yume and I help with testing and customer support. But right now, things ain't going so well. Yume had to return home to care for her sick sister, which requires a lot of attention. (Japanese localization is still on track. This is 2025, after all.) And then, there's AJ. What's Going on with AJ? It's hard to talk about this openly because it's sensitive, and AJ might talk about it in a few years. But here's what I can say. For the past eight years, AJ's work on the FFN Universe has been interrupted by…
- Frozen February News - 27 February 2025
Good evening, survivors. This is Marvin. We have some news to share with you. Steam Profile Avatars FFN: Eve-themed avatars are now available on Steam. Look at Mr. Brandon. He's really cute, isn't he? Feel free to customize your Steam profile avatar as you like. About the Next Update Designer AJ is back to work on the project. However, we can't promise the upcoming updates, as there is a very slim chance that we may not be able to make games anymore, though this chance still exists. Nonetheless, we will likely release small updates gradually for the time being. We always appreciate your support. Cheers, FFN Team
- Patch Notes - Feb 23, 2025 - 25 February 2025
Good evening, survivors. Marvin here. The regular update has been released. I'd like to provide a more detailed account of the changes and additions included in this update. When survivors have specific items exceeding 1000, the inventory will now display them as 999+. The HUD color for Dash has been changed to gold. Agility now affects the cooldown of Dash. Each point of agility decreases the cooldown by 0.005 seconds, meaning that for every 1 point of agility, the time you have to wait before using Dash again is reduced by 0.005 seconds. The store's name has been changed: JY's Awesome Clothing → YK's Lit Wardrobe. A bathroom has been added inside The Mighty Hawk. (Survivors can't take a bath yet.) A soap dispenser has been added to the bathroom in Setsuka's house. Ezraella's surname has been renamed to Nabokov, as the previous one was applied in error and did not align with our origin…

- Frozen January News - 19 January 2025
Good evening, survivors. This is Marvin. We would like to share some important news with you. Temporary Update Suspension Due to a deeply personal matter (related to the future, which will allow us to continue making games without obstacles, and it's not related to financial issues), AJ, our designer and developer behind FFN: Eve, is currently away from work. As a result, the next update has been temporarily paused. AJ may return to the studio and resume work soon, but there's no definitive timeline yet. AJ has apologized to all survivors waiting for the next update. About Pandu Pandu was planned to become a playable character around February or March this year. Due to an unexpected circumstance, this update has been indefinitely delayed. We're sorry for the delay. New Language Support We can't reveal what the language is yet; we might be able to add support for it this year. We really…
