Stormgate Dev Tracker

Thanks for supporting our game and our studio!

The real 3D faction was the friends we made along the way.

We’re testing 2v2 in Frigate. We’ll be looking at player feedback, but it’s definitely one of our most-requested modes.

We appreciate your support! <3

Nope--no streaming or screenshots or even discussion. It's confidential. (The exception is that if you're a playtester, you can stream, screenshot, and discuss in the appropriate playtester Discord channels.)

Yes, you can access the beta through May 21.

Playtesters (including beta signups and Founders) will get to play the initial third faction content tomorrow and through the next three weeks.

This playtest is not a marketing beta—it’s a closed playtest with the goal of actually improving the faction and other content.

Closed beta playtests under NDA are super common in gaming and tech. We didn’t invent them and much bigger companies than ours run large playtests under NDA.

I’d say that an NDA is a statement of trust.

It’s a mutual agreement that we, as a studio, are giving you access to content before it’s ready to be shared widely because we believe you can help make the game better. We are trusting you to playtest and not share your experience with the public. By agreeing to and respecting the NDA, our players are telling us that they are worthy of trust, respect our studio’s efforts, and agree to not leak things before they’re ready.

While leaks often happen, we trust our playtester...

We’re focused on running the playtest and gathering feedback to prepare the game for our early access release. We are not looking at this playtest as a promo opportunity. The goal for Frigate is to make the game better. We are planning the official public reveal of faction #3 for later this summer.

Yes—if you were previously a playtester, you are invited to playtest our third faction (and other content) starting tomorrow at 11 am PT.

The instructions for beta access should arrive automagically—email support at FrostGiant dot com if you haven’t received them ahead of the April 30 beta.

We just sent a distro of emails today. Have you received yours?

I met Don Frye at a gaming event afterparty many years ago—I think he was promoting the Pride Fighting Championship game. He had some great stories to tell about getting into street fights as a bouncer in Japan, punching out car windows, etc.

Yes, you can still get in via Indiegogo. If you want to become a Founder, I recommend that you do that a few days before the 30th so that you're all set to go when the playtest begins. It may take a couple days for us to deliver your key, so you don't want to begin the process on the day we begin playtesting.

Welcome! Drop me a DM, I’d like to check out your videos. Lots of BAR fans at Frost Giant.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

I just looked at our most recent list of voice actors who are contributing to Stormgate and I was so hyped. We plan to announce our full cast (beyond those names we've already made public such as Simu Liu and Chris Metzen) a little later into development, likely sometime during Early Access as we begin preparing for the release of 1.0.
