    The trajectory for Stormgate is always up. It's always improving. Now the trick will be improving enough before the budget runs out!

      Time will tell but it may have been a blessing in disguise that they released "too early". Better to release earlier and realize that your trajectory was all wrong via feedback, than to spend a year or two more on that wrong trajectory

      T​@@EB-bl6cc That was partially why they released so early though, no? Making it an iterative process and listening to the community to make the best game they can for RTS fans (like them).
      But yeah... budget will always be a concern just because it's super expensive to make RTS. One of the most content heavy and thus expensive game genres to produce.

      I understand why people are worried about the budget, that's a legitimate concern...kinda. cause let's be real here : we don't know anything about it. We don't know how much they have, we don't know how much their team costs, we have no real information whatsoever other than what they shared, which is already a lot to be honest. It's rare that any of those information are revealed anyway. Guyz, FG has some of the most popular and experienced name in the business. Now I know RTS ain't that popular but if anyone can bring investors it's some ex-blizzard directors, seniors, leaders.

    This is the first update in a while that actually has me excited about Stormgate again. I know that it's all easier said than done, but the new infernal designs are amazing. If they keep changing the factions to be more "doom" like, I think it will make a much more enticing universe to play in. I want the factions to be cool and badass, not look like toys.

    • @finrodfel06
      @finrodfel06 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Celestials will be last. I think they wanna do Infernals first to see how people react. Vanguard already has some stuff going on, with the new melee mech and hedgehog designs. Honestly Vanguard as a faction feels the most cohesive, and I don’t mind them being sleek and shiny compared to the usually scrappy generic scifi humans. What the art director said implies we will see, lorewise, why they are so advanced and such. So the identity of the faction is fine, unlike the other two which are all over the place. They just need some model tweaks. The hedgehog especially, the new one looks great.

  • @toddgreener

    imo, for the hedgehog taking some inspo from historical vehicles would be a good idea. I think they're trying a little too much to make it look like a jet, but if they look at some half tracks, 6 wheelers, or tracked recon vehicles, I think those would fit the concept very well

    The new demonic style is a definite improvement; more coherent and stands apart from other games. I hope they design a distinct way for these units to die - instead of normal flesh and blood, maybe they burst into soot and flame as the demon's spirit is pulled down back to hell.

  • @Red-wb5jj
    @Red-wb5jj 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    Stormgate’s art direction can change as often as the developers desire, but without significant gameplay innovations, the game risks feeling stagnant. To truly captivate players, it needs deeper mechanics and features that enhance replayability and excitement.
    Procedurally Generated Maps
    Introducing procedurally generated maps would revolutionize the scouting, making it more dynamic and engaging. This approach would also vastly increase replayability, as each match would present unique challenges and opportunities. Players enjoy adapting to fresh conditions rather than memorizing static, handcrafted maps. Age of Empires 2 serves as a perfect example: its map diversity, ranging from Arabia to Nomad or Gold Rush to Black Forest or Team Islands to Arena, requires entirely different strategies and skills, keeping gameplay fresh and exciting across thousand of matches.
    Evolving Economy and Resources
    A more diverse economy system could further enrich gameplay. Imagine resources with distinct mechanics: one tied to fixed points on the map, like gold or minerals, and another that players can harvest or generate anywhere, turning the entire map into potential strategic hotspots. Such a design would shift the focus dynamically during matches, ensuring that battles and critical moments happen in varying locations. Art-wise, resources should also stand out visually, adding aesthetic appeal and aiding gameplay readability. This diversity would make every match unique and create opportunities for more complex strategies, enhancing both player experience and spectator enjoyment.
    Buildable Walls for Strategy and Comebacks
    Walls are essential for creating strategic depth in RTS games. Cheap, high-HP walls allow for defensive maneuvers, buying time, and enabling dramatic comebacks-especially in team games, where protecting allies becomes vital. Walls also influence the flow of battles, shaping chokepoints and forcing creative unit compositions. The destruction of walls can spark tense, exciting moments across the map, keeping viewers and players alike engaged. Without such a tool, gameplay risks losing variability and tactical nuance.
    Aiming Beyond SC2: Learning from Age of Empires 2
    Stormgate aspires to be a next-generation RTS, but to surpass Starcraft 2’s appeal, it must broaden its scope. While SC2 excels in fast-paced 1v1 matches, Age of Empires 2 boasts the highest active player base in RTS history due to its unmatched gameplay diversity and robust multiplayer modes (1v1 through 4v4). Even if one personally prefers SC2, the numbers don’t lie: Age of Empires 2 has found a formula that resonates with a wider audience. Stormgate can benefit from adopting and improving upon these mechanics without losing its identity. Procedural maps, diverse resources, and walls would not make Stormgate a clone of Age of Empires, but rather a richer game that combines the best elements of various RTS titles.
    Embracing Innovation
    The success of RTS games lies in openness to innovation. Just as Stormgate borrows successful elements like early scouting from Age of Empires and player abilities from C&C Generals and AOM, it should embrace new features that foster replayability, strategic variety and open up more space for future differences between the existing and new factions. Procedural maps, walls, and an evolved economy are not constraints-they are opportunities to craft an RTS that stands out in the modern gaming landscape. By combining the best ideas from across the genre, Stormgate can deliver the diversity, excitement, and depth that players crave.
    To limit its scope would be to limit its audience, ensuring it remains a niche game rather than a genre-defining masterpiece. A broader, more adaptable vision will unlock Stormgate’s true potential.
    Listen to the nay-sayers who like Starcraft 2 will not improve Stormgate much. They want a game like Starcraft 2 and how successful this was and is we can see. It has less active players than SC 1 and Age of Empires 2. So they have to think about if they want to build a game for a small player base or they really want to build the best next gen rts possible.
    There are still plenty of things that differentiate Stormgate from Age of Empires. Not only the futuristic setting but also the look and feel of the units, the better technical execution, and the improved unit responsiveness make the game still feel like a Blizzard RTS. By the way, Age of Empires, like Warcraft 3, features units with higher HP, which is one reason Age of Empires has a larger player base as Starcraft 2 and why Starcraft 2 is beyond its potential. Even the developers of Stormgate knows that and that is the reason why they have increased the life of all units and structures compared to Starcraft 2. But here the good parts of Age of Empires doesn't stop. There is more like the benefits of procedural generated maps, walls and a bit more different economy. There are also good things for the economy in other games like C&C. The concept of power plants that work a bit like Pylons have a big potential to create interesting mechanics and decisions during one match. Don't just think about the mechanics in other games one by one, but also be creative. Change something in a new direction to the things you take from other games.
    To be successful, a game needs casual players, not just professional ones. The pros will come on their own if the game is successful with the broader audience-if players not only enjoy playing it themselves but also watching others play. Seeing the same revealed maps repeatedly, already knowing how they will be played (as is typical in Blizzard RTS games), becomes very boring for viewers. It lacks the variety and surprises that make for exciting spectator experiences.
    Everyone opposed to these changes should carefully consider their effects: fewer players, longer queue times in ranked matches, fewer tournaments, less support, and ultimately a less developed game. Is that what you really want? Then continue to be endlessly enthusiastic about Blizzard RTS games and ignore everything other RTS games have to offer.
    You can dislike Age of Empires, but you can't dislike walls or procedural-generated maps, because they offer too much for the exciting gameplay and the replayability and from which game these ideas come doesn't matter. There are lot of other games with procedural generated maps and buildable walls. Even Warcraft 2 had buildable walls and in all other Blizzard rts structures are used as walls. That shows how much a real wall is needed. They should stop applying band-aid fixes, covering maps with indestructible cliffs, and instead recognize the potential of buildable walls.

    after giving it some more thought, I like all of these art changes and I do think it will vastly expand their audience and the potential of the game. however, I feel like for many people the creep camps are a major issue. they don't seem to have much of a place in a 1v1 vs mode if there isn't going to be heroes. 1v1 is supposed to be pure, unadulterated pvp, and by making pve necessary, I feel like it not only confuses people, but makes for a less interesting viewing experience for spectators. if it were a moba type experience where you were leveling up, it makes more sense, but I just don't see why they are so dedicated to this concept (maybe they aren't, given they've released maps without them) and have made them inexorably linked to faction balance, and overall game pace.
    outside of that, I am encouraged by all of the latest news and like you've said, will be continuing to stay updated on their progress. cheers

    New infernal designs look FAR better than the previous ones. I especially like the Caster's concept. It is a very nice idea, if I'm being honest
    But I'm not quite sold on the human unit overhaul... The proposed lancer replacement looks a bit... too bulky.
    Or something form presentation - the rocket unit acting as your basic ranged infantry feels a bit... cheesy and gamey if I'm being honest - too advanced for your basic unit.
    I'm not entirely happy with the scale of some units either - the Outrunner's scale makes is look really goofy - it is a literal clown car - especially when it spits out units far bigger than itself.
    I get the scale in RTS is often wonky, but I have always seen it as a technical compromise, not an artistic choice. And as years pass, I find it harder and harder to accept massive tanks barely bigger than a Joe with a rifle or massive space batlecruiser the size of five dudes.

    I disagree with that they released the game too early. I mean sure the game sucked but that's the whole point of releasing it early.

      You’re clearly wrong. They can’t get funding through the player base because it wasn’t polished enough. They couldn’t even maintain basic interest

      @@yellow4563 you are wrong-er. they got funding through the player base as kickstarter, as it tether the early release to it. and if they hadn't release it, they would not have had gotten those resources AND they would be still in the dark on the worse parts of the game.
      the objective loses of FG strategy are server uptime and HR waste to maintain the game being patched to be "balanced". so it essence, they traded some money and human time for experience and data, and I think that they end up in the positive in this experiment as it is unlikely that they burned 2.4 millions dollars (kickstarter) just to keep the server alive(that would mean like a 50 dollars per match) and like 2 persons wasting 2 days thinking about balance and map ideas to keep the player entertained. every cost outside of those are just part of normal game dev and they would have use it in the same way.

    I like the "primitive" approach to Infernals a bit better to make the factions more different, but I get that they have to appeal to the biggest audience possible.
    The new direction is cool and does have some unique ideas. I just wish they had listened to the feedback on art style earlier, it was there from the very beginning.
    More importantly, it seems they're guaranteed to survive until 1.0, and that safety is big, even if they had to scale back on ambition.

    Sorry but the main problem is that StormGate has nothing new. It doesn't bring something that reinvent the RTS genre. I don't see anything that makes me think : ok, there "this" thing that makes it unique and make me want to theorycraft and think to the optimization of my plays.
    Let's take an exemple : gold mines : they are ugly and have nothing to optimize when mining. Consider Starcraft 2 : you have blocks, +/- far from the command center, making it an optimization to mine the closers, and you can have richer mines. And you can harrass the left part, but still continue to mine on the right part. Etc. It's a lot of optimization you can think of. These StormGate mines are just ... bad.
    I feel like they hould have think more of what makes a game unique, especially since their brand is very young and they have limited funds. I was very hyped but now it's not a question of art, or campaign story. It's a question of what will make me think : "this game has some so-cool innovations, I want to spend time searching for cool ways to play it".

    I love how we are all acting like experts in the comments. Talking about a budget we don't know anything about, as if we knew how to handle such things ; talking about the art direction as if we were art expert specialized in the video gaming industry ; telling FG what to do to make a good RTS as if we had more experience as these guys. Really we should be taking all the decisions in Frost Giant, obviously.
    The gaming community is... really something.

      @@chubbybubbers13 lesson learned for you my friend. You backed a project, not a game. Eventually you can have the game, maybe you won't, that's part of the risk. But if you thought you could through money at them and get your game 6 mouth after then you didn't know what you were doing really. Also, they are not making a video game just for you. That's not a business model. They are making a game for the many different people that might enjoy it. So lesson learned, I hope.
