Ofc its not a finished product and the decision to develop a game in this extremly transparent way is nothing short of courageous. Hell if youre on the playtester discord you interact and discuss with the developers of the game on a daily basis. I have never experienced a AAA Game being developed in this way and i love the path they chose. Why do some people here try to throw shit at frostgiant for doing a kickstarter when they cleary and transparently communicate why they are doing it and how the money is spent? I really would love it if this megathread doesnt decent into some sort of circlejerk of stormgate. I mean its understandably that alot of you are put off by this way of developing a game since its pretty revolutionary and not for everyone that just want to play a polished product. On the other Hand i would love if some of you give these guys at frostgiant the benefit of the doubt since you rarely see a group of dedicated RTS lovers develop a game in this honest, transparent and exhausting way. Dealing with passionate gamers is though. | ||

I don't think the development pathway is revolutionary. StormGate's development and the state of the franchise path is pretty similar to Fire Pro Wrestling World developed from 2017 to 2020. In a previous post, I outlined in detail how FPWW was in a very similar situation in 2017 as Stormgate is in right now. you make a good point. | ||

Unless they offer another last chance... are they this desperate for cash? At it again Jimmy? On every page of this thread is at least one of those posts from you... It was the 2nd most successful beta/ demo on steam NEXT fest after Dungeonborne and before Homeworld 3. And that one of the most hyped tournaments all year in Starcraft 2 (Stormgates main demographic) was happening at the same weekend might have something to do with it as well, don't you think? | ||

I usually disagree with Jimmy on pretty much everything but in this case he's not wrong... It's a pretty lame predatory dark pattern to use to try and push potential consumers into buying by setting a 'last chance at beta' and then afterwards just extending it(but also putting another limit on it so as a second 'last chance') | ||

Watching Mixu, Parting and other pros micro their heart out with these fun units like atlas drops, weaver micro, imp suiciding or a big ass dragon is very pleasing to watch and play for yourself. Can you link me to any micro engagements that required more than 200 APM? | ||

Even god tier blink micro by its nature isn’t crazy high in an APM sense, it’s all precision and targeting the weak stalkers accurately Conversely even mediocre bio stutter-step can be way over that threshold, hell I suck but go at like 220 in marine split maps. Part of BW’s/SC2’s high APM requirement is just swapping over to macro frequently, and in BW’s case the sheer difficulty of moving larger armies. In WC3, which Stormgate feels closer to huge APM is only really generated by spam. And doing well in that game is more dependent on micro than SC2 is | ||

Honestly, this is the kind of complaint that reminds me of BW vs War3 or BW vs SC2 discussions on TL from decades ago. People can rightfully think something is off about the game, but I think some people just throw random RTS-isms at it because they can't specifically articulate the problem. Randomly injecting "APM" as a reason for why you think the micro in the game isn't as impactful or impressive as SC2 isn't particularly accurate. Granted, a lot of people saying the game feels off is still useful feedback, at least up to a point. | ||

I've played 6 or 7 games of Stormgate, didn't feel very interesting (yet), but the framework is certainly there to add more units etc | ||

If you watch today's pro SC2 it's just as sophisticated as BW. I think it's very hard to judge something like that this early. I've played 6 or 7 games of Stormgate, didn't feel very interesting (yet), but the framework is certainly there to add more units etc Early Deathball WoL was pretty horrible. Honestly, while I loved the storylines, I really disliked watching WoL for the first 2 years. Hearing anyone involved in WoL design is involved in this honestly concerns me. I really enjoy watching SC2 today and am glad I stuck by it with a positive attitude. I’ll try to do the same with Stormgate. | ||

None of the big Youtuber/Twitch streamer were playing RTS is a niche. The most successful RTS on steam is AoE II: DE with 20-25k daily players. That is what SG needs to top. It will never beat CS2, Palworld or Dota 2 | ||
