*(Taking the mask off for this post. TLDR: more memes are coming, but less frequently)* With the pending release of 0.1.0 and the Amara redesign, I have a feeling that things are going to change around here. The community hasn’t changed — we’re still the same mix of discerning RTS fans, diehard Starcraft refugees, dreamers, doomers, and the occasional cat girl aficionado. But Frost Giant will soon release the first major post-launch patch, which represents what the team is capable of producing when given time to cook. We’ll all get to see how the team responds to feedback, and what direction they take Stormgate in as they head to a 1.0 release. My hope is that with the release of 0.1.0, this community will see a shift in tone to be slightly more optimistic, focused on what this game can be, rather than what it is not. # Drawing Stormgate Badly Many people have reached out to express support or to ask what the plans for the “Drawing Stormgate Badly until Amara rework” series is. My plan is to continue, with some changes. Coming up with a post every day was a surprising amount of work, even when it’s drawn so poorly. To reflect Amara’s new glow-up, the series will have a glow-up of its own. **Not visually** of course, that’s ridiculous. But some planned changes are: 1. A **slightly** softer tone, like Amara’s new eye shadow. 2. Commentary that’s a **bit** less pointed, like Amara’s new haircut. 3. A scaled down posting frequency, like Amara’s fixed body proportions. 4. A new name, since Amara’s rework is being released **There’s still going to be the same commentary, criticism, satire, and sarcasm that is mixed with memes and art.** # A comment to Frost Giant We all want the team at Frost Giant to make the best damn RTS possible. Show the world what it means to be a next-gen RTS, and in return, we’ll be playing this game for the next decade and beyond. Looking forward to what the future has in store.
