wishlist numbers are as good as marketing is. It's hard to top "ex blizzard, starcraft devs, making next-gen RTS in unreal engine", making tournaments, and paying the most prominent streamers to promote the game.

And yet, compared to AoM or TR, their wishlist lead is quite minimal. Especially if you consider AoM was just showcased for the first time and TR devs are doing literally zero promotion for a couple of months already.

Just to be clear, we haven’t paid any streamers to promote Stormgate. Our support from content creators had been earned/organic and unpaid.

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.

Gerald, was this something you looked up for the occasion - or a part of your regular playlist? I have questions...

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

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!

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!

Details here: https://playstormgate.com/prepurchase

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.

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.

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).

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.

For more on the Celestials, which some playtesters have called the most original RTS faction they’ve ever playe... Read more

3rd Faction Reveal Hype!

I played Stormgate's new faction with two of the world's top RTS players, but even they couldn't save me from my own ineptitude

Buddy Bot!

Is August 12 the actual release date, or just when early access becomes publicly available?
