Hi, everyone. Yes, we know it was a super brief update. We're very grateful to Geoff for providing us with even a small window of airtime to share Stormgate updates - Opening Night Live would otherwise be too expensive for us to participate in.

We don't have the big budget of a Blizzard or EA, so we create these videos in-house ourselves. We all know you'd like to see more gameplay . . . and we're working on it!

We're in closed alpha testing now, taking in feedback, and the game is making steady progress. We made the decision to reveal Stormgate much earlier in development than most other dev teams because we wanted to bring the community with us on this journey, which is why we're playtesting with the public so soon and why we're showing development progress before it's polished.

Many of you are comparing our progress to that of other RTS games that are further along in development, and we're excited about those games too! We're rooting for their success as much as our own as we love the genre and can't wait to play those games.

We still have a long road ahead, but we think we're building something special and hope that players will love Stormgate. For those of you who've been following us from the beginning, we thank you for your support, and we'll have more to share with you soon.

Watching the early footage from Stormgate gives me a lot of joy, even if it's very short. You have cool ideas for units - Brute is another unit that will allow for unusual micro. All the best to everyone involved in the development of Stormgate.

All I can say is the imp all in is gonna be so real, they are basically banelings.

They're too cute to sacrifice until absolutely necessary IMO

sooo .... is this all were gonna get for gamescom?

We actually have a small presence on the gamescom show floor, too. We have a pretty busy week ahead of journalists and content creators getting an opportunity to go hands-on with the Infernal units we revealed. Their stories should hit the following week.

I complained about the presentation earlier in this post, but - and I believe I speak for a lot of people - I hope you know that none of this marketing will matter once we actually get to play the game. Trailer and marketing don't matter if the game itself is fun to play.

I was at work when I got the email that my collector's edition of SC2: Wings of Liberty got delivered. I was so excited and I am going to be just as excited when I can start the download for Stormgate.

That’s our thinking too. Stormgate will be free to play—any self-respecting RTS player will at least try it out. ;)

The most effective way for us to get the word out about Stormgate will be making it a really great game. Hands-on gameplay is where our investment in our technology and the experience of our team will shine. Then, hopefully, our players will invite their friends to play co-op and we grow the community together!

Well, on the bright side I learned of the existence of the band Sleep Token :)

Same. I'm an old metalhead who grew up on Iron Maiden. Ghost is my favorite newer band, but these guys are great. Appreciate the recommendation!
