Hey u/joemehl, fellow gamer dad here. I hope you enjoy trying the game out with your son. Enabling BuddyBot is a good way to get your kid started as it’ll produce basic units and expand so that he can just space bar to select all army and enjoy the fights.

As some folks already helpfully mentioned, we’re in Early Access and still quite a ways away from being done with the game. I hope you enjoy watching the game grow and improve over time.

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...

Late to the party here, but thank you for putting this feedback together. It's being shared internally.

Hi, Adin1zWarcraft--thanks for reaching out. We'd love to partner with community modders and mapmakers on the editor, and we very much appreciate you volunteering to help out with testing and feedback. The editor remains a core priority for us and we're still aiming to get an early version into players' hands in 2025, but we aren't ready for hands-on work quite yet. Please join the #editor-and-customs chat on the official Discord if you haven't already so that we can stay in touch!

I believe you can find a link to Beyond the Brink (the first eNovella) on the main menu splash screen when you log in.

Thank you for shining a light on a cool system in our game that a whole lot of people didn’t even know existed!

To give you a peek behind the curtain, this post was edited and co-written by me, based off of an original draft from Kaizen, a designer on the team who put in a lot of work on co-op. I can’t take credit for any fun personality in the post as it’s not mine—I’m responsible for any boring bits. :)

The post was reviewed and included input from our ‘Fun Director’ (Assistant Game Director) who helps steer the ship on all things co-op and was my source of truth on things related to Gear and systems.

The original draft was written before our 0.1.0 content update blog so as a result some of the info does feel like old news, but I kept it in as there’s some additional context.

Hey, I appreciate the feedback. It’s helpful to have greater clarity on the specific topics you’d like us to cover. We’ll plan the next co-op update to ideally hit these topics more directly.

Thanks for rooting for us. Former haters are always more than welcome. <3

Hey, everyone. This is absolutely incorrect.

We aren’t actively working on War Chests at this time and we’ve dropped them from our roadmap while our team focuses on addressing player feedback and improving core gameplay, performance, audio, and other much higher priorities.

This price does NOT reflect what we were originally thinking, either, and looks like a default or placeholder price, perhaps copied over a while ago using the Deluxe Early Access pack as a template.

To be 100% clear, this is fake news.

We agree. Campaign typically does this storytelling and ours is still in the earliest stages, so our players lack important context. Campaign will come, but it will take the team some time.

The good news? The second Stormgate e-novella has been written (currently in review/editing). If you enjoyed Beyond the Brink, our follow-up will be coming in the near future.

Appreciate the feedback! We originally planned to release 0.1.0 this Tuesday, but we decided to push our update back a few days to give the devs additional time to squash a few critical bugs.

We originally didn’t have a date in the blog as it was a moving target, but I agree that we should have put it back in once we knew that we were ready to go for the 19th.

Thanks for calling this out.

My family has a nightly ritual where, around the dinner table, we each share our favorite part of the day and what we're proudest of. Thanks for making my share tonight an easy one. <3

This is the current description from our options menu:

Smart Attack
A method for issuing unit orders without having to select attack or move directly.

Hold: Holding down right-click will command units to follow the mouse and mouse-up will automatically attack. Left-clicking during the hold will cancel the auto-attack.

Right with Left Click: Left-clicking while holding right-click will issue an attack command.

(You can then choose from None, Hold, or Right with Left Click)

(I believe this to be the case, but please note that I’m not a designer and details may have changed.)

Mass Production is open to any Hero and I believe is placed in the level 11 “Socket 1” slot. Maximum Control and Resilient Defenses are Celestial only. I’m not sure, but I believe those are options for the second socket.

0.1.0 is internally codenamed Hunter in case that helps.

It means you will be able to attack move and move with just the mouse vs having to choose just one, for easier one-handed play.
