What about sharing screen on discord with friends, being 100% sure that nobody will record?
That’s not OK. The friends won’t have signed an NDA and we would likely see leaks that way.
For the record, I love the approach. Something that a lot of developers lack is connection/rapport with their player base. This sets the precedent very early that you value your player's feedback and trust them with your product. I'm very excited to jump into the closed-alpha next week!
We look forward to your feedback!
Yes, this is a closed playtest period under NDA, not one of the typical late-stage marketing beta tests you'd see for a nearly-finished game.
The goal of this closed alpha is for our playtesters to help make the game better by providing feedback directly to our devs--it's not meant to be a vehicle for them to make content. We'll be excited to watch people stream Stormgate or make videos when it's further along, but we're going to wait until the time is right.
StarCraft and Warcraft will be hard to surpass, especially for an indie team (even if they're veteran developers), but I'm rooting for Frost Giant. They definitely have their work cut out for them. I hope we can get more video updates.
Frost Giant Studios was founded by key members of the team behind StarCraft II (most recently Legacy of the Void) and Warcraft III.
Greetings sorry for bother you, any official discord? Thanks a lot for your time.
Not yet! There’s a lively unofficial discord you can join that some of us hang out in (link is in the description for our recent YT video.) we plan to launch an official Discord in the future, but that’ll be a while.
SC2 Map Editor is very powerful. I was able to remake many games with it. I did the vinci faction of Rise of Legends, realtime versions of Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic with most of the mechanics. Also remade the old Z rts game. Also implemented a few of my own designs, one of which became popular.
Nice. We’d love to have you check out Stormgate’s editor (once it’s ready, of course).
We're all super grateful for your support. Thank you so much for the kind words.
Seasonal story content, presumably single player and/or coop? That'd be sick.
That's the plan!
Thanks so much for your support. It really means everything to this team to know the community is behind us.
I like the HyperX Cloud Alpha, but nothing has ever matched the comfort of my old pair of Sennheiser over-ear headphones. I’ll often use those when I don’t need a headset mic.
I just got an invite as well on my birthday 🥹🥹😭😭
Happy birthday! 🎂🎂🎂
Ah, the new wave of disappointment lands. :(
!RemindMe 18 years “Congrats on GM!”
Dude beta is not coming before end of next year they said the game will be releasing in 2025.
Gotta find another game !
We never said this. :)
With these waves going out, mad respect to the community not leaking things (as far as I’m aware, I suppose I’m not a 4chan lurker). I’ve not seen a single thing for this game outside of official news, but other games tend to be entirely leaked pre-release.
We are very grateful to our amazing community for respecting our NDA and for absolutely killing it in terms of providing us with intelligent and actionable critiques, suggestions, and feedback. Stormgate is going to be a better game because of our awesome playtesters.
I wonder how they choose. I filled out the resume - i have 20 years of extensive RTS experince. /shrug.
We tripled the number of invites in this wave, but it is still a very small percentage of the total number of beta signups we’ve received. Our total signups greatly outnumbers what we can afford to support in server costs during closed testing and most players will need to wait until we release to the public before they can play for the first time.
Luck is a factor, and filling out the survey helps a lot.
I‘m in and everybody will wipe the floor with me. Old man still loving RTS…
One of us! One of us!
I got invited and just got a newborn 2 weeks ago and am back at work.
Dealing with 2 under 2 and a busy work schedule leaves no time for this 😭😭😭.
Congrats on the new family member! Don’t worry about missing this round of Stormgate testing—we’ll welcome you back with open arms once you’ve got more free time on your hands (maybe in 18 years?)
StarCraft II and Warcraft III.
Really cool seeing all the mentions of Stormgate—on behalf of the Frost Giant team we are all super grateful for your support. It’s a good time to be a fan of RTS for sure with several very exciting games on the horizon.
The second wave of Stormgate closed alpha invites is going out this week for a testing phase that kicks off in early October.
Come hang out with us on r/Stormgate too—we’re currently asking the community to share their thoughts on how we might approach competitive matchmaking.
P.S. check your DMs.
