Let’s do this, r/Stormgate!

We’ve finally shared a first look at our third faction, the Celestial Armada, with the public.

We’ve also announced that Stormgate Early Access will begin on August 13. We’re even kicking things off on July 30 as a show of our appreciation to our Kickstarter backers, playtesters, and new Steam supporters.

With so much excitement building around the game, we think it’s about time for another AMA!

We’re bringing together a bunch of our devs to answer your burning questions here on r/Stormgate this coming Friday, June 14, 2024 at 10:00-11:00 AM PDT / 1:00-2:00 PM EDT / 7:00-8:00 PM CEST.

I created the song... well, I entered the prompts and Suno made it.

Someone from FG staff said on the discord don't read too much into that disclaimer, the faction is still ever-evolving at this point.

Yep, Celestials are being actively tested and iterated on by our design team.

BuddyBot is my best friend. I can't wait to see him grow along with the rest of our game.

August 13 is the START of Early Access, not the end.

July 30 is the kickoff of a sneak preview period, but Early Access officially begins on August 13.

Just want to confirm that we saw this post and devs are discussing internally. Thank you for providing the suggestions!

Are the items in these packs early access only? Or will they be available soon post-release as well? Or at all after release?

Basically, can I wait or will I miss out on e.g. the chicken pet and other bling if I don't get a pack now? How about the campaign chapters? (I'd assume you can buy those later as well.)

Thanks!

Some of the items here will NOT be sold in the in-game shop and are only available in these bundles.

This includes the Firestorm Fog of War Shader, the Gold Vanguard Army Accent, and the Chicken Pet.

Get ready to sweat some 1v1's out on ladder!

That's awful that it's not available on launch.

You can play 3P co-op vs. AI with your friends at Early Access release on July 30-August 13.

3v3 will be coming later in development sometime during Early Access.

We know there's a lot of Polish love for RTS and we have a handful of Polish dev team members too! Would love to support more languages in the future -- please stay tuned!

The Firestorm fog of war shader, the gold Vanguard army accent, and the chicken supporter pet will not be sold in the in-game shop, so those can only be picked up in an Early Access bundle.

So its not free to play.
They went full EA: Early Access Pack, Deluxe Early Access Pack, Ultimate Early Access Pack (This DLC is non-refundable.)
Sad.

Stormgate is free-to-play. Play on August 13 for free and decide after you've got your hands on it whether you want to support our development by purchasing campaign content or unlock hero progression, etc.

If you just want to queue for 1v1 or play 3P co-op with friends, you can do that for free.

What about those heroes? are they not available for F2P players?

You'll be able to play with all of the Heroes in the game for free. Purchasing them unlocks progression (similar to how it worked for SC2 co-op commanders).

Given the wording in the EA packs:

I doubt any of the 3 campaign missions will be free. Otherwise, the pack is sort of deceiving.

We have three free "prologue missions", in addition to the Vanguard campaign missions that are available for purchase.

Once a tightly guarded secret known only to our closed beta testers, the Celestial Armada has finally been seen by PC gamers around the world after their PC Gaming Show debut!

Celestial Reveal Trailer

The Celestials are a race of highly technologically advanced interstellar travelers who have come to Earth to challenge the demonic Infernal Host for control over our planet–with humanity caught in the middle.

When commanding the Celestial Armada, you’ll lead a cosmic race of near-immortal angelic warriors armed with technology so advanced it’s indistinguishable from magic. Celestials revere and cherish Animus, believing that it holds the key to unraveling Creation's greatest mysteries.

Not an expert on this topic, but this is a fascinating discussion and something I will be sharing with our team internally as we discuss approachability and ways to make our game more accessible overall. Thanks for kicking this off.

We are super committed to campaign, and look forward to releasing new campaign missions for years to come. We hope you’ll have fun with our initial batch of campaign missions and be sure to help us make them even better during Early Access by providing feedback. Player feedback has been a huge part of getting our core gameplay and factions to where they are today and I expect that campaign will similarly be improved by leaps with the support of our players.
