Urban Terror

Fun Over Realism

As the festivities wind down and the excitement of New Year's events fade, we at Frozensand extend our warmest wishes for the New Year. May 2025 bring joy and success in all your endeavours, whether in your personal life, pursuing dreams, or working on personal projects.

In terms of gaming, the development team continues to advance Urban Terror 5 towards an alpha testing release. Highlights of our progress can be found in the monthly developer blog posts and down below in this news entry. In the meantime, continue to enjoy the fast-paced action of Urban Terror 4.3.4.

Happy New Year dear gamers!

FS Barbatos: Hey everyone!

A lot of things have happened over the last few weeks.
First of all, we are pleased to welcome NitraM to the FrozenSand team! Another frenchie joins the clan. :) NitraM has created several Unreal Engine 4 games over the years for and with his children and has been playing UrT for many years. He is a talented level designer, modeler and 2d artist. He has already started working on many new UrT5 assets such as a car, a fountain for Casa, a sink, various models for the Casa market as well as several props, tags and posters that you can see in the attached screenshots.

All those assets greatly help JohnnyEnglish in his current […]

FS Barbatos: Hello there,

I would like to start with a little recap of your Tipeee donations from last year. In 2023, the total amount that we received in donations was exactly 3008€, of which 89% were recurring tips. You guys truly ROCK! Thanks so much for your support. Two years ago before I created this Tipeee page, the Frozensand Games company had approximately 0€ on its Paypal and bank accounts. Some of us regularly had to pay the game's monthly bills with our own money. Now thanks to your help, we've been able to pay ourselv... just... kidding. :P Thanks to your help, the infrastructure bills have not been a worry for the last 18+ months and […]

FS Barbatos: Hey everyone,

The FrozenSand developers all join me in wishing you a Happy New Year! We hope that this year will be filled with joy, successes... err I mean bloody kill streaks, walljumps and taunts!

This month was a bit quiet at FrozenSand. This isn't really unusual, with the December holidays often being a time away from the screens spent traveling to see families and friends and eating and drinking probably a bit too much!
However, I've got to admit that the overall team activity has been a bit lackluster this past year overall. The active team is now comprised of only about 10 people, which is quite short considering the number of […]

FS Barbatos: Hey there,

In November we've done a quite big QA release, which included lots of optimisations and improvements.

First of all, as discussed in the September post, we've focused on improving the combat experience for the players. We've added hit and kill sound volume settings, bullet flyby sounds, bullet tracing (which can also be turned off in the settings) and sounds for when there are impacts on various surfaces close to the player. Our first QA session with those changes will be this Sunday so it's too early to get extensive feedback from the QA members, but their first tests seem very promising.

The next big optimisation was done on […]

Hey ya'll!

An awesome little project has come across our desks today that we think would be great for everyone to get involved in and make it something special.

An Urban Terror Cookbook!

There's been that many drinks spilled, food knocked over and computers ruined that finally someone has decided to put them together in a good way - who says food and gaming doesn't mix? I personally love it when my sh*t seizes from the things I've spilt - it's the best.

As much as we'd love to take credit for the idea, unfortunately we can't. The creative genius behind it is loveofthedark and she gets a huge high five for such an awesome idea.

An Urban Terror cookbook full of our own recipes and pictures from around the world? That's something that will take pride of place on my bookshelf without a doubt.

It will be available digitally for free, BUT for a small amount to cover costs and postage you can have yourself a hard copy.

To get on board what you'll need to do is gather the information as numbered below, and send to lovely loveofthedark's email address given at the end of this post.




To get an idea of numbers please mention if you would like a hard copy.

A one week mini jump cup.

Not a jumper? Don't worry this cup will take place over 3 unconventional new maps where regular jump skills have little to no advantage and they are all as easy as possible to just play and learn the basics of.
Since all of the new maps feature new styles, we will also include a video for each of the maps to help explain how to go fast.

The event will run from 2024/04/29 9pm CEST until 2024/05/06 9pm CEST
One map will be released every two days until all of the maps are released, (on Monday, Wednesday and Friday). All maps will be active to play on until the event ends.

More info will be posted on jumping discord: discord.gg/pfbKNEydtr
and on the website: urtjumpmaps.com/seasons/4

You can also join any of the UJM jump servers and play the maps after the event started.
