Frost Giant and Stormgate at GDC next week

Hi, everyone! I wanted to let you know that Frost Giant will have a small presence at GDC next week for those of you who are interested. We've been invited by our partners at Epic to present in their booth on Wednesday, March 20 at 5 pm PT. No spoilers just yet, but it'll be a fun reveal related to our work with Unreal Engine 5 and what we're delivering to players with Stormgate. We plan to share a recap of the presentation on PlayStormgate.com as a news blog later that evening to catch you up.

Separately, you may also see a fun Stormgate experiment from the team at Convai, who are working on integrating free-form conversation with AI into games. At the show, Convai will share a demo of their technology in Stormgate, with a (hypothetical) player interacting with one of our earliest NPC character models (you may remember her from our announcement trailer) using spoken dialogue.

The work involved in creating this tech demo was done by the folks at Convai--it didn't take any meaningful time or resources away from our development team. We are entirely focused on developing the game and preparing for our upcoming Early Access release.

Please note that this is a very early test and we're still not sure if we'll be including this technology in Stormgate. If we do, we'll first have to make sure that it makes the game more fun for our players, that it feels and sounds immersive, and--as Stormgate is a SAG-AFTRA union-backed production--that it has the blessing of the union and fairly compensates any of our voice actors involved.

If you plan to be in San Francisco during GDC next week, let us know on Discord--it would be fun to catch up!
