Stormgate Dev Tracker

Thanks for your interest in supporting Stormgate!

You won’t miss out on anything other than additional playtime if you wait until August 13 or later to pull the trigger. The Early Access packs will still be on sale.

FYI, Early Access is an active development phase and the game will see lots of changes and more content before our official release, including in terms of performance.

If you’re on the fence, be sure to play EA for free first so that you can be 100% sure that you’ll be satisfied with your decision to support the dev team before making a purchase.

Blizzard-Like & Approachable Real Time Strategy

Not saying that at all. But when you give up control (required for a Publishing deal when it's not a regional partnership such as our agreement with Kakao in Korea), you lose the ability to make your own decisions--creative, business, and otherwise.

We have extensive experience working for a major publisher from our days under Activision and--been there, done that--we're aiming to maintain our independence. We don't want a Publisher prioritizing near-term profits over doing what's best for our game, our players, and our studio.

Hopefully that clears it up for you.

Yes, we've worked alongside members of the Battle Aces team before and we wish them lots of success! We're rooting for our friends working on other games too, like ZeroSpace and Tempest Rising. Lots of RTS games doing well is ideal for all of us (as players and fans as well as devs).

As players take breaks, move on, or just want to try something new, they'll often look for experiences similar to those they already enjoy, so we all want the love for RTS to grow!

You're welcome! Have a great weekend. :D

We'll have the ability to share important news regarding scheduled maintenance and unplanned outages within the client, in addition to updates on the official Discord. We'll post patch notes in the Discord and on the official website--it's likely you'll find them elsewhere, like here on Reddit, as we have an active community.

As for a PTR, Stormgate will be entering Early Access, so everything in the game is effectively trying new things. Running a separate PTR while a game is in Early Access doesn't feel necessary as this is an active development phase and we'll be making many changes based on player feedback.

As for offline mode, our game is going to require an online connection when we release, but we do have plans to introduce offline support for single-player campaign at some point in the future.

No. Our 3v3 mode will include Heroes.

No more poll responses please, so we can keep the game perfectly balanced forever. :D

This is not true. We want to maintain our independence to always do what's best for our game--it would be easy for a publisher to force us to institute a pay-to-win business model, for example, if we were to lose creative control.

We hope their game does very well and we're always excited to see more RTS games being made to bring new players to our favorite genre. That said, we are working on very different game experiences and the scope couldn't be further apart:

• Stormgate has 3 asymmetric factions
  
• Stormgate will have a wide variety of maps
  
• Stormgate will feature an ongoing campaign mode with new missions coming regularly
  
• Stormgate will have 3P Co-op vs AI featuring Heroes
  
• Stormgate will have a competitive 3v3 mode
  
• Stormgate will have a powerful in-game editor for custom games, maps, and mods
  

As for our game having massive funding, most AAA games today are made with 100M+ budgets. Frost Giant (now part-owned by many investors from our community) is self-publishing Stormgate. BattleAces is bankrolled by Tencent in China, the 2nd-biggest game company in the world.

We are maintaining our i...
