Hi, everyone,
We’re incredibly excited about our upcoming opportunity to spread the word about Stormgate with the millions of viewers who watch The Game Awards.
We don’t want to disappoint any of you, so here’s what you can expect.
First off, we’re going to be revealing some clips from a brand-new in-engine cinematic that introduces some important narrative characters. We’re especially excited to highlight some new voice talent who will be breathing life into our story.
Next, we’re going to be showing a few snippets of all-new gameplay footage that were recorded using our upcoming “Devastator” closed beta build. These gameplay segments will feature our first Vanguard hero (Blockade) as well as some new Infernal units that many of you saw recently in our awesome IGN feature story.
However, we will not be revealing our third faction at The Game Awards. Work has begun on our third faction, and we love how it’s shaping up–we even have proxy models for all of their units in our internal dev build. We plan to announce their identity early next year.
We also won’t be showing 3v3 at The Game Awards. We are deeply focused on our 3P co-op mode, with our first external test taking place on December 5-22 in the closed beta that many of you will be participating in. Our plan is to launch Early Access with campaign, 1v1, and 3P co-op. 3v3 will be introduced after those are in the public’s hands.
We’re a smaller team without a big budget, so our showing will be humble (and quicker–only about a minute long) compared to what you’ll see from the biggest AAA studios. That said, we’re very proud of the work the team is doing and we hope that RTS fans–past, present, and future–will enjoy what they see.
We announced Stormgate at Summer Game Fest and shared our Infernal reveal on Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. We're hyped to be a part of Geoff's biggest event of the year and we're very grateful for his support. Who knows, we may even be joined by a special guest?
Please tune in and let everyone know that the love and passion for RTS is alive and well.
As always, thank you for your support.
-The Frost Giant team
P.S. Please consider becoming a Founder on Kickstarter. Our game is fully funded to release, but your early support would mean a lot towards achieving our long-term vision for Stormgate.
