On the morning of December 5, we launched the Stormgate Kickstarter. We’re lucky. Many independent studios aren’t able to say that they’ll be able to ship their game at all, but Stormgate is fully funded to release. 

So why launch a Kickstarter? 

We created this crowdfunding campaign to provide our players with the kinds of AAA experiences that would otherwise be out of our reach without a major publisher footing the bill. This includes a gorgeous physical collector’s edition of the game and a wide-reaching beta testing program. 

Here’s how it went…

⏱ We were fully funded in 15 minutes
💰 We’ve received more than $1,000,000 in pledges in under 48 hours
✍ Our signed editions ($350) are SOLD OUT (players are asking for more)
😍 More than 11,000 backers are supporting our team

This is only the beginning. 

We’ll be featuring a (brief!) new trailer at THE GAME AWARDS tonight...
...and with the community behind us, the future of RTS is bright!

If you’d like to support Frost Giant and Stormgate, please take a look at our Kickstarter, where you can receive access to all of our 2024 beta tests as a bonus reward for becoming a Founder.

The team still has a lot of work ahead, but it's extremely motivating to get this kind of support -- I'm deeply grateful to everyone who's helping to promote our Kickstarter!  Please tune into The Game Awards on December 7th for our new trailer.

We're pleased to share this incredible in-depth feature from IGN on the Making of Stormgate's Infernal Host. IGN's resident strategy expert Leana Hafer joined us behind the scenes over months of internal developer playtests to get the inside story on how the Infernal faction works.

We hope you enjoy seeing all the progress our team has made through this new gameplay footage, the never-before-seen unit reveals, and more.

Frost Giant is grateful to IGN and Leana for continuing to support Stormgate and for helping us share our vision for the future of RTS.

The Frost Giant Studios and Stormgate community is truly special.
 
Chris is a die-hard RTS fan who reached out to us, offering to help us spread the word about Stormgate. He impressed us with his dedication, passion, and video production expertise and we've welcomed him behind the scenes to help tell our story.

Since before we announced Stormgate, we have been working hand-in-hand with the RTS community to build the future of the real-time strategy genre. 

Chris's latest video below was a big hit with our future players and we are grateful for his support--check it out!

#AchievementUnlocked: One Million CCU Scale Test! 

I am incredibly proud of our team for reaching this monumental 1 million Concurrently Connected User scale-test with Stormgate. This achievement represents not just a number but a testament to our dedication, expertise, and the power of collaboration.

What sets this achievement apart is our commitment to building solutions in a reusable way. This not only streamlines our architecture but also provides our partners with confidence in their own launches. We're not just in the business of reaching milestones; we're here to empower others to do the same.

I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional team, in this effort led by George Price and Zach Graziano, our friends at Frost Giant Studios, Inc., and AWS for Games, who made this remarkable achievement possible.

The road to this milestone has been one of dedication, innovation, and collaboration. If you’d like to get into the weeds of how we pulled this off, check out out our attached blog post. We’d happily speak to folks who’d like to do a deconstruction of how we pulled this off to, just shoot me a DM.

Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and building for the future of multiplayer games remains unwavering. If you're looking for confidence in your upcoming launch, let's connect. We're here to share our expertise, celebrate your successes, and ensure your journey is as remarkable as ours.

And thanks to Dean Takahashi at GamesBeat for covering!

Frost Giant Studios is a team of veteran game developers who are deeply passionate about creating Stormgate, the next great real-time strategy game, but that's not enough to make a smash-hit online multiplayer game. Frost Giant also relies on valuable partnerships with teams like Hathora. They are behind the server orchestration platform that will provide the scaling global infrastructure we will need to bring together RTS players around the world. 

We're excited to share that Hathora recently ran a successful test simulating 1M concurrent Stormgate users, putting us on the path toward supporting a thriving global player base for years to come. 

When combined with Stormgate's game logic running at 64 Hz--up to three times as responsive as StarCraft II--as well as our recent successful test of rollback, the predictive technology that almost magically reduces the impact of latency in online play, it's clear that we're building the most cutting-edge real-time strategy game yet.  

For more, check out this story from Dean Takahashi at VentureBeat. 

"Stormgate, developed by Frost Giant Studios, follows in the footsteps of iconic game series such as Warcraft and StarCraft. Early external playtests have garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback, indicating that Stormgate has the potential to be a major success upon its launch."

Big thanks to LG for including Stormgate in their recent commercial -- which includes some RTS legends.  For whatever it's worth, I do actually have an LG OLED TV at home! :)

All of us at Frost Giant Studios are saddened to hear about the recent layoffs across our industry. 

We wish everyone the best of luck on their search for a new role. ❤️🩹

We are currently looking for an Art Outsourcing Manager to play a key role in the development of Stormgate. Please share this opportunity with anyone you know who may be qualified for this position. While we are a remote-friendly studio, we are looking for someone who can interact with the rest of the art team during core business hours in the Pacific time zone.

We aren’t hiring any other positions at the moment, but we’d still love to hear from you if you’re passionate about RTS and interested in one day becoming a part of what we’re building. Frost Giant Studios offers competitive pay and benefits and is committed to a work environment built on collaboration, inclusion, and mutual respect.
