Stormgate Dev Tracker

Our team is working non-stop to get everything ready so that we can deliver keys to our Founders. We are excited to get these invitations out tomorrow and to give our wave 1 beta Founders Friday through Sunday to get in early before Steam Next Fest.

Wave 1 access also means you're able to continue playing after Steam Next Fest ends and continue beta testing into March (we are estimating the second week of March, date not final).

You'll also be in all future testing phases, which includes first hands-on with our upcoming third faction.

We're a small team and this is a big project (it's safe to say our final turnout far exceeded our initial expectations!), so please bear with us as we are doing our best. While we'd love to snap our fingers and just let everyone in now, we have necessary steps to take first to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Thank you so much for your support.

The Frost Giant team would like to thank the Stormgate World guys for all the hard work they put into this awesome resource for our community!

We are looking at GeForce Now support, which should be a good option for many Mac users.

A 7x7x7 clear acrylic display cube would fit the statue. It's pretty fragile, so keeping it safe from being sat on is a good idea.

Maybe slap it onto a ...

Oh, I work for Frost Giant Studios. We hope to see you in the game!

You're welcome! You can check out where we're at so far for free next week during Steam Next Fest (Feb 5-12). If you don't like PvP, I recommend you check out our 3P co-op vs. AI mode. We won't have any campaign content in the public Steam Next Fest beta build, but the team is working on it!

Frost Giant guy here--the above is incorrect. While we love competitive players, our game is absolutely aimed squarely at players who crave new RTS campaign/story content. We plan to tell an ongoing story with new campaign chapters released several times a year. Campaign is one of our main game pillars, alongside Co-op, Competitive, and Custom Games (our powerful new RTS editor for maps, mods, and custom games will be released as part of the client).

Our team takes it as a huge compliment that the number one game people compare Stormgate to is... the last game many of our core team members worked on, StarCraft 2. We love it too and we hope people continue playing SC2 forever. It's definitely an interesting position to be in when you're competing with your own last project!

That said, we weren't ready to stop making RTS games and we want to continue giving the RTS community new things to play--new units, new heroes, new stories, new game modes, a new editor, etc. Our commitment to RTS and our passion for developing RTS games is why we broke off from Blizzard and formed a new studio. Players have been waiting long enough.

Yes--it'll absolutely take us a long time to match what was achieved with SC2--Wings of Liberty alone was in development for 7 years, let alone what went into HOTS and LOTV. That said, we've built an incredible foundation for the future of RTS with our SnowPlay technology and we're excited about...

The leap forward coming from our SnowPlay tech may be of interest to you? We're 3x as responsive as SC2 as measured by tick rate/Hz (most RTS games are 8-tick, SC2 is considered best-in-class at 16-tick, Stormgate is 64-tick). For many, what makes an RTS fun to play is how responsive it is, where it feels snappy and satisfying to control your units.

Our tech allows us to also do things like implement Rollback--something that's done wonders for online fighting games.

Check out what we've been up to during Steam Next Fest--we're opening up access to our beta (1v1 and 3P co-op vs. AI) so that people can experience it for themselves.

It's a just a running joke.

Anime cat girls will be our fourth faction, not our third.

yep, something like that!
