Was hoping to upgrade, but the 4 months delayed delivery, from July to November, it's a deal breaker...
If it helps, we expect to ship sooner than that, but we're playing it safe with the estimate.
I like the flying eyeball :D btw did we see it in the game? I mean as a unit?
It's in the game--the unit is currently called a Shadowflyer.
have you read the novel Three Body？what you said just sound like human,three body aliens and the singer civilization.lol
I read the Three Body Problem and loved it. Devoured all three books in a row.
We all really hope this great game to publish soon.
That is not going to happen.
There sre things like online live streamings by Xiaojin and SCboy,and Internal beta news are there on bilibili and other video platforms.
Then all those videos are supposed to be taken down if they violate the NDA.
Xiaojin and SCboy are both partnered content creators and have our express permission to post live and recorded Stormgate gameplay.
With this being said, how do you upgrade your backing through kickstarter? I haven't ever done it before
I believe these resources are still not final—that said, this is good feedback and much appreciated.
Same but also the custom map editor. Cant wait yo sink my teeth into it
Please give us time on this--the editor is going to come later in development vs. our core playable modes as creating those is dependent upon getting our tools made. Once those modes are in a good place, we can then shift some of our focus to getting the editor ready for public use.
Thank you for dropping in to share your thoughts. We are trying to make a game that will be enjoyed by RTS fans around the world and we appreciate your support.
We know that players are eager to get their hands on the game ASAP, but please give us time to continue working on it--we still have a lot of work ahead of us before we'll be ready for our official launch.
Thanks for sharing your excitement! We hope you'll love the game.
You know how to make people feel good! 😊

People never learn lessons with kickstarter and crowdfunding video games. Ever lol
Our game is not being crowdfunded, though! Stormgate is fully funded to release. This Kickstarter gives us funding to do things for our players that we did not budget for, like producing Collector’s Editions and inviting more players to beta.
I worry a little bit that they’ve given themselves a lot more work to do for these goals than the money really allows, but if we’re here, then we’re believers and gotta trust lol.
Our producers and leadership carefully vetted our stretch goals to make sure they would not put the project at risk. The additional funding at these milestones would offset the additional developer resources needed.
Also note that the cost to employ a single person for a single year is more than their salary. Insurance and other benefits, additional tax on all the companies support systems like hardware and HR and lots of others. In my experience this can be 40k or more.
The profit margin likely won't be large for this game. They will need our continual support. I backed the kickstarter but I'm certainly planning to spend money this summer on early access as well.
We appreciate the support! 💙
I believe the devs said heroes were only for the coop & campaign modes early on when people started saying they didn't like RTS's with heroes.
Not entirely sure where they said it so i could be wrong and they could have changed their minds by now but until someone tells me otherwise, i assume nothing has changed.
Heroes will be in 3v3
I can imagine it now:
- Jim 'Assbender69420' Rodriguez
- Amelia 'SEND_ME_FEET_PIX' Johanson
- Marcus 'Memelord1996' Chang
- Brian 'CheesyRamen66' Taylor
writing these down...
Is this bought self promo? New acc, first post.. Seems like a bought self ad from a bot.
We haven't paid any content creators to promote Stormgate.
Yes.
I truly hope their monetization plans work, I want the game to succed even if I'm not a fan of the artstyle. The gameplay looks solid and we need new RTSs.
The biggest problem I see is that, if their main revenue will be tied to DLC campaign modules that they want to sell, they really need to get people to care for the characters of those campaigns and their story.
Right know all artworks and concepts of characters are like "cool guy number 7284812049", "badass woman number 28481088427" and "evil demon rawr!!", not really intriguing or interesting.
Appreciate the feedback and thanks for wishing us well! I think you're right--we haven't done enough to get people to care about our characters and we'll need to discuss how to tackle that as we continue our journey.
Great post.
I love that people are having fun playing the game at such an early stage. That fills me with hope for the future.
If I have to pick something from the game specifically, I think the Weavers look awesome--creepy and super distinctive.
