[2023] How is the Frost Giant team going?

Thanks for asking about us! We appreciate the support.

It’s funny that you asked about the coffee machine as ours was recently knocked out of commission. I’m proud to report that after a harrowing few caffeine-free days, we’ve completed repairs and are back online!

In all seriousness, progress on Stormgate is going well and we’re playtesting on a daily basis. We still have a lot of work ahead of us and the team is keeping busy. We are currently focused on getting the game ready for the first wave of external closed testing later this year. Work-life balance is still very important to us and we are doing our best to plan and schedule our sprints accordingly.

The team has grown in recent months and we’ve welcomed several new Yetis to FG, including more former colleagues from our StarCraft II days. We’ve added a QA manager, as well as more artists and engineers—I’d say we’re at around sixty in total now, spread out across our HQ and the remote team members around the world.

The puppies you saw in our recent Washington Post story are Lando (held by Tim Morten) and Nema (the fluffy white pup at their feet).

Thanks again for checking on us! Your care for our team means a lot.

We’ve said “more than two.” :)
