I have it on my wishlist will give it a shot.

See you there!
TAking a look at their kickstarter, kind of crazy seeing close to $1.9 million pledged with a goal of $100.000. Kind of like in the early days of kickstarter.
Yet:
Stormgate is fully funded to release. This Kickstarter is in part a response to fan requests for a way to purchase a physical Collector's Edition of Stormgate
Guess the names behind the project carry a lot of weight? Or the apparently successful e-sport showcases? Kind of flew under the radar for me tbh.
Glad we're finally on your radar. Our game was fully funded for release before Kickstarter--we launched that campaign because (no longer being part of Blizzard/a major publisher) we needed additional funding to create a cool Collector's Edition of the game and to provide beta access to more players through Founder's Pack sales.
Now we're super hyped to be able to give everyone access during Steam Next Fest. Hope to see you there!
Might be wrong with this but I believe they're the same bunch that made Starcraft 2. Ex-Blizzard RTS team.
Given their history, it's bound to be very competitive with a high skill ceiling which you don't really find these days in RTS games.
Many of our dev team members are from the StarCraft II team, but we also have some incredible industry talent from other AAA games...and our newer devs are killing it, too!
We are aiming for the high skill ceiling you mentioned, but we also want to lower the skill floor to make RTS more approachable. We're going to have cooperative modes like 3P co-op vs. AI and the ability to play through the campaign solo or with friends so that people who don't want to compete head-to-head can also have fun with RTS.
In the future, you can also look forward to custom games, maps, and mods as we're shipping a powerful editor that includes all the tools we're using to build the game.
We'd love to have you check out what we're building. It's an early look (we'll be in Early Access this summer), but we hope you'll come away feeling that we're building something fun.
When can I play Dota 3 in Stormgate?
Are you building it?
