Thank you Frost Giant. As a geriatric gamer, playing Stormgate makes feel something i haven't felt since Starcraft 2 launched...
...pain. Not mental pain. Physical. My arm has gone full tennis elbow after just 2 days of playing Frigate. 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't felt this kind of joyful agony since Wings of liberty. I AIN'T GETTING THIS KIND OF SPECIAL FEELING IN THOSE POXY "don't need to APM" FORTNITE GAMES I TELL YOU THAT.
I thought ray tracing on the cat girls was a mismanagement of resources, I was wrong.
I am bravely breaking the NDA to admit that I was entirely wrong.
Hype
Hype. Frigate. Hype. 3rd race. Not breaking NDA. It's weird being so hyped yet so restricted. I guess we'll just keep filling the void with cat girl jokes—IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FG??? My non-breaking-NDA feedback: big thumbs up to vaguely, generally, everything. So hype.
As a former SC2 Diamond player, I'm starting to feel like Stormgate is not for me. Although, I wish this game great success.
Warning this is a unorganized rant that you probably won't agree with. Stormgate to me feels like a slower nerfy version of SC2. I might have been more ok with it if they innovated somehow, but their direction feels too safe. I feel like the low stakes low ttk early game makes it less exciting than sc2. And fights become "let's see who macro'd faster... *waits and watches the fight...* oh you did so I will go back." The game feels less impactful and more like a pillow fight. My guess as to what will happen in the future: The casuals will not get into this game as much as FG hopes. The hardcore rts players will remain. In order to please these hardcores, FG will begin to make exciting "balance patches" that make it more like SC2. What they should have done: Made it exciting and fast pace and more "adult" to begin with. That's what gives it legendary status. A mountain to climb like elden ring. People that really aspire to play rts and the reason sc2 has renown is because it is challenging and hardcore and exciting. People aspire to it just like elden ring or dark souls. Nerfing it doesn't make it less challenging as it's also nerfed for your opponent. And making it more exciting and impactful also doesn't make it more or less challenging as your opponents have to deal with the same thing. They believe making elden ring into assassin's creed will bring more people, but it's no longer elden ring at that point.
Why not anounce the 3rd faction?
The next beta phase is about to start in a few days and we will playtest an early version of the 3rd unannounced faction. However it is under NDA and the 3rd faction will not be anounced to the public, it's specifically stated that the anouncement of what the 3rd faction will be later this year. I think this strategic decision isn't the best. I think with all the thousands (hundreds of thousands?) beta testers it's almost guaranteed to leak. And leaks don't happen in the most flattering ways usually. I get it maybe you don't wanna show a lot of footage since it's probably not ready, but surely an announcement made properly from Frost Giant is going to be better than some random leak?

흑운장TV [BLACKTUBE] What is Stormgate? Real-time strategy titles like StarCraft were once a staple of the gaming industry and esports, but in recent years, the genre has fallen to the background in place of the likes of LoL and CS2. However, change may be on the horizon as a new studio founded by ex-Blizzard developers looks to bring the next generation of RTS into the present with the development of a new title. This is Stormgate.

I am bravely breaking the NDA to admit that I was entirely wrong.
Hype. Frigate. Hype. 3rd race. Not breaking NDA. It's weird being so hyped yet so restricted. I guess we'll just keep filling the void with cat girl jokes—IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FG??? My non-breaking-NDA feedback: big thumbs up to vaguely, generally, everything. So hype.
Today we're exploring the idea of "free units" in RTS games, and what it actually means, taking examples from Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2, and reacting to Frost Giant Studios' thoughts on that concept, and how they want to implement it in their upcoming title Stormgate.
