Stormgate Dev Tracker

1. Is there any plan to test basic things like Time To Kill, unit speed, overall pacing of the game or what we have now i set in the stone?

Yes, we are planning to test Time to Kill in an upcoming patch. The thinking now is to slightly reduce the TTK by a notch or two to accelerate combat and see how that feels.

1. Is there any attempt to redesign Creep Camps or are they set in stone?

Creep Camps are an early design and one we plan to continue experimenting with and refining going forward. We plan to do some work to make these camps fit within our universe more cohesively–what you see now is largely a gameplay placeholder for testing purposes and lacks the visual design and worldbuilding that we’d like them to express in our final iteration.

The rewards they provide and how important they are to the flow of any given match are also areas that we are going to closely examine as development continues.

Drop me a DM here or on Discord (Gerald) and I’ll send you a code for some of the Heroes. I was unable to message you here.

Love it!

Thanks for listening to my not-so dramatic reading!

I’m glad to see most players seem to agree that we should give the mode more time in development before releasing it to the public. I also appreciate the feedback re: hero progression. I’m sure it’s an area the team will be looking at closely.

Exactly, you know what I'm going for here. I think it's a cool nod to Earth's military history--sometimes you gotta pay folks to stand on the front lines against a screaming army with nothing but a pointy stick.

Once again reviving my campaign to make it canon that 'Lancers' is short for 'Freelancers'--a reference to the medieval mercenaries who fought for any lord who would fork over the money. Perhaps when the Infernals invaded, the human defense forces (Resistance) hired on as many able-bodied front-line grunts as they could afford, paying citizens to risk their lives and go toe-to-toe with demons armed only with a melee weapon. They didn't necessarily fight out of patriotism or loyalty, but to feed their families, so the name stuck...
