The Forever Winter Devs Fill In-Game Map with Scans of Russian Equipment Destroyed by Ukrainians

As a long-time fan of post-apocalyptic games, I was eagerly anticipating the release of The Forever Winter by Fun Dog Studios. Having played my fair share of TPP shooters, I can confidently say that this game has an impeccable atmosphere that truly immerses you in a ravaged world.


On September 23rd, Fun Dog Studios unveiled a preliminary edition of “The Forever Winter,” an apocalyptic third-person shooter in a world devastated by war. While the game has garnered generally mixed reactions thus far, both fans and critics concur that it holds great promise, a potential that could be fully realized following optimizations – the game’s ambiance is flawless.

It’s worth mentioning the focus on precision that was evident in the project. One participant spotted an intriguing detail – the incorporation of seemingly worn-out Russian military gear while crafting the model.

“Finally a good way to use Russian tanks”

Upon a closer examination of the tanks depicted in “The Forever Winter”, it was observed by a particular user on Twitter or X, that they appear to have been constructed from photo scans of Russian military hardware that had been damaged by the Ukrainian forces.

The individual elements indeed accurately reflect what we see on the page that stores 3D models of damaged machines. One of the commentators even posted a photo showing a wrecked tank in Kiev, destroyed at the very beginning of the war – it also made it into Fun Dog Studios’ game.

This clever strategy was enthusiastically accepted by online users, who admired the authenticity of the cars and weaponry used. Some were open about their appreciation for the fact that Russian tanks were utilized effectively in this context.

Fun Dog Studios’ debut title, The Everlasting Winter, has garnered attention for its unique monetization strategy. This studio, known for bucking traditional trends, offers this game at a budget-friendly price point of $27. The developers assert that such an affordable price ensures no one is overcharged for a video game. Additionally, keep in mind that as a work still in early access, further enhancements and improvements are planned for the following months on this shooter game.
