After a successful Kickstarter campaign raising over $2 million for their game Stormgate, Frost Giant is now seeking equity funding from fans and private investors to support marketing efforts for the game's upcoming Early Access launch on Steam. Despite already being fully funded, the studio aims to add new elements to the game and is planning for a one-year early access period before the full launch.
Former Blizzard developers at Frost Giant, creators of the upcoming RTS game Stormgate, are inviting players to invest in the company via Start Engine, aiming to avoid the pitfalls of traditional publishing and prioritize player and worker happiness. Despite already raising significant funds, the details of the investment and potential returns are vague, with only eight people showing interest so far. The game, set to enter Early Access in Q3 2024, has generated excitement due to its ties to StarCraft 2 and potential to reinvigorate the RTS e-sports scene, but the decision to invest remains a gamble.
Stormgate, an upcoming RTS game developed by Frost Giant, a team of ex-StarCraft developers, offers a gameplay experience reminiscent of StarCraft. The game features the Infernal Host faction, which spreads corruption across the map using a new mechanic called Shroud. Units standing on Shroud gain extra health, creating a natural deterrent to early harassment. The faction collects a unique resource called Animus from fallen units, allowing players to perform special rituals. The Infernal Host encourages wave tactics and doesn't prioritize the survival of individual units. The faction includes units like the Brute, Gaunt, Weaver, Magmadon, and Doombringer. The pre-launch page for the Stormgate Kickstarter is now live.
