Here is a link to the article with some context of what this screenshot is (a greybox prototype that is not representative of current Stormgate): https://wapo.st/42UE7a5
In the article, there is also a much better screenshot that much more closely depicts the current state of the game.
The game’s success won’t be measured by how many campaign players opt to become competitive try-hards.
“I’ve had so many people say to me, ‘I’m not a real StarCraft player, I only play campaign,’ ” Morten said. “I’m like, ‘It’s okay!’ ”
Campbell chimed in: “You are exactly like 75 to 80 percent of the audience.”
Wow that's much more people that I'd have expected playing only campaign mode.... Maybe he is talking about campaign, cooperative and custom maps modes? Seems to me insane to have a 80% player base playing just single player mode.
It's a very emotional article, I really hope this goes well for all of them because they risked a lot with this project.
Don't forget to take my money, Tim.
I believe something like 75% of players never touch the ladder. Co-op and campaign are much bigger, at least by number of players. Custom games are big too.
(We're doing all of them!)
To be clear, my comment here was a joke.
...though I wouldn't mind if it turned out to be true. You listening, Frost Giant?? :D
Giant chickens to be canon in Stormgate. You heard it here first.
There's a paywall-free link sticked under this post!
Thank you for sharing that link with us!

That is really cool of Mikhail to gift that link to our community. Awesome dude.
We hope you'll find something cool to read tomorrow!
I'm keeping my eyes on you! <3
Thank you! <3
I personally feel honored to support what the Frost Giant team is building here with Stormgate and to be a part of this community.
Our devs read the posts in this subreddit and it's so motivating to know that players like you are rooting for us. We're all super grateful for your support and we hope you love the game.
In my personal opinion, familiarity is good (i.e., if it ain't broke, don't fix it) and change is good (we don't want the genre to grow stagnant). We want to strike a balance of both.
Awesome! I'll definitely join up! I love sc2 and I'm glad there's gonna be another game like it!
See you there! Stormgate is coming to Steam -- wishlisting the game is the best way to support our team. <3
Most of the developers of SC2 actually left and joined another small company. I believe it's called Frost Giant, I'd have to double check, though
Edit: Yes, I have discovered that "Frost Giant" is the name. They're working on another RTS called Storm Gate.
That's us! Please feel free to join us on r/Stormgate. We have regular discussion threads with the community as we work together to make what he hope will be the next great RTS!
More than two!
When you say whale, how much have you spent?
