I agree. However, I hope the artwork gets polished so that the character looks more human; Amara is Vanguard's hope afterall :) Already have 40 hours on the game; hopefully the player count will gradually increase!
We updated our in-game welcome message to confirm that we are working on our body proportions for cutscenes. We look forward to sharing that progress with you in future updates!
Great write up!
Thank you! All the credit goes to Monk for the write-up and our hardworking team for getting this patch ready and delivered so soon after our Early Access preview release.
Appreciate the shout-out to our incredible UI/UX devs. We have more to come, so please stay tuned.
First, thanks so much for your support. We’re very eager to release the editor…when it’s ready. It has tremendous potential (our Turf War co-op map was basically built internally by one of our rockstar QA team members), but it will take time for us to get it ready for wider use. In the meantime, if you’re a modder or interested in modding, please join us on the Stormgate Discord where we have a modding channel specifically to talk about our editor. You’ll find a link on the Reddit sidebar.
Thanks again, and I can’t wait to see all of your creations!
Thanks for the support! We have a lot of work left to do, but we’re super excited about where this game is going.
Congratulations on your success! Love that you’re living the dream.
I looked today and it was shocking to see that I’ve played a total of 162 ladder matches since the early access started.
This game is addicting and it has potential. I hope we get to see it flourish, and I’ll be playing it until we do.
Really glad to hear you're having a good time! Thanks for being part of our community.
Magmadons are the best stompy bois.
Stormgate is free to check out in Early access August 13. No risk to check it out and see if it scratches the itch. Competitive play shines—wait for our 1.0 to play campaign if you want a more polished experience as it’s still early.
We made a BuddyBot for Stormgate, which can act as training wheels while you’re learning. The UI is also streamlined so you don’t need quite as many inputs to do stuff, we have all the building, units, and upgrades in a compact grid, automated control groups, etc.
It still has a very high skill ceiling, but I’ve found it to be pretty easy to get new players comfortable enough to have fun using all the approachability tools.
Stormgate (I work for the team) is actively developed and free for you to try out on August 13. Our tech is pretty impressive—64-tick servers and we have rollback and global matchmaking. We’re in early access, so you may want to wait until 1.0 to play the campaign as it’s a work in progress. Players are enjoying the 1v1 and 3p co-op as we continue development. We’re going to be releasing an editor too if you’re interested in modding or custom games. You can also wait until 1.0 to try it out, but it won’t cost you anything to check it out next week.
What makes you say tomorrow?? I’m super excited if they’re gona release a balance update bc I really like the game so far
We are taking the servers down for … reasons tomorrow. Be sure to check in. ;)
you cannot even pause the game.
Pause is coming.
Ultimate Bunny skin is likely not a great fit for our game...
That's awesome to hear and thank you for getting the word out!
I'd love to see a South Africa get-together for Stormgate players in the future! In addition to our lead server engineer Austin Hudelson, the credit should be shared with our partners at Hathora and their rock-solid global server network. South Africa, Australia--historically underserved RTS fans around the world are eating good in Stormgate. :)
(One of our concept artists from South Africa, too.)
Thundarr the Barbarian
This is ridiculously cool. Thanks for making it!
Thanks for the response! Does this mean matchmaking 2v2, or just custom games? Also, I always like to support people who work hard to make the things I enjoy, so I plan on buying content/ visual packs
Just custom games at this time, though we’ve definitely heard players say that they’d like to see us introduce 2v2 matchmaking in the future. Thanks for supporting Stormgate!
A balance patch is coming this week. (Update: To clarify, we’re working on it this week, but I can’t guarantee 100% that it’ll be pushed to the client before end of week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.)
