00:02 - Hello and welcome to the Stormgate Kickstarter.

00:09 I'm Tim Campbell, I'm the Game Director and President

00:11 here at Frost Giant Studios.

00:13 And we are here assembling some of the world's greatest

00:17 RTS developers who've worked on some of the biggest

00:19 franchises in the genre to come together

00:22 to build the next evolution for the real-time strategy

00:26 genre.

00:27 Welcome to Stormgate.

00:28 (dramatic music)

00:31 - Fight.

00:40 (dramatic music)

00:42 Power.

00:43 (dramatic music)

00:45 Either way, your world will fall.

00:47 - Our vision is to make the most fun RTS of all time.

00:55 And to us, that means a lot of different things.

00:58 First, it starts with core gameplay.

01:00 We're opening up the RTS experience to new players

01:02 through new modes, new ways of playing.

01:04 Whether you like story or you enjoy cooperative experience

01:07 or you wanna get right in the ladder

01:08 and play hardcore competitive,

01:10 we have content for you in Stormgate.

01:14 To build this vision, we had to start first

01:16 with the technology and tools to bring it to life.

01:19 - I'm James Anhalt, the Chief Architect here at Frost Giant

01:21 and I'm here to show you the custom tech

01:23 we built for Stormgate.

01:24 It transforms Unreal Engine 5 into the most state-of-the-art

01:27 real-time strategy game engine.

01:29 Get ready for Snowplay.

01:31 (dramatic music)

01:34 Snowplay plus Unreal Engine 5 makes Stormgate

01:55 a truly next-gen real-time strategy game.

01:59 And we can't wait for you to get your hands on it and play.

02:02 - At early access, we will have three distinct

02:05 asymmetric factions, each with their own unique gameplay,

02:09 their own unique identity, and core mechanics

02:12 that are unique to them.

02:13 We began developing Stormgate by focusing

02:16 on our 1v1 mode initially.

02:17 And this allowed us to make sure that the game

02:19 was responsive, units felt good, and the game blew us away.

02:23 The response to our earliest pre-alpha test

02:25 was that it was already incredibly fun.

02:28 And so we've carried that with us forward into other modes.

02:31 - Discovery, this is Command.

02:33 - We're kicking off early access with the first few chapters

02:36 of an epic sweeping campaign that will allow you

02:39 to experience the story of Stormgate

02:40 either solo or cooperatively with your friends.

02:44 As an extension to our universe,

02:47 we're building an expanding roster of hero characters

02:51 that you can use in the single-player campaign

02:53 or co-op as you're exploring the story,

02:55 but that you can also lead into battle

02:58 in the three versus AI cooperative mode

03:01 or in the 3v3 team mode that we're building

03:04 after early access.

03:05 We're then taking the technology and the tools

03:08 that we've used to build all of these modes

03:10 and we're bundling them up to release to you

03:12 so that you can really unleash your creativity

03:16 and introduce the world to your own stories,

03:18 your own characters, and your own mods.

03:22 Storytelling is near and dear to my heart.

03:24 It's why I got into the games industry

03:26 and began developing this time it came in the first place.

03:29 I was the lead campaign designer on Warcraft III

03:32 and the Frozen Throne, where I contributed

03:34 to some of the epic chapters in Warcraft's history.

03:37 Together with the designers here at Frost Giant,

03:40 we're working with Mickey Nielsen,

03:42 a multiple award-winning, best-selling author

03:45 who helped contribute to Warcraft and StarCraft

03:47 working over 23 years at Blizzard on those franchises.

03:51 Additionally, early on, we partnered

03:52 with Chris Metzen himself, the War Chief,

03:54 and one of the key creatives who came up with the vision

03:58 for Warcraft and StarCraft originally.

04:01 Together, we've created a framework for storytelling

04:03 that's going to enable us to tell an ongoing narrative

04:06 for years to come.

04:07 So let me tell you a little bit

04:10 about the universe of Stormgate.

04:11 We're bringing together some of the best elements

04:13 of both fantasy and sci-fi

04:15 into a new post-apocalyptic setting.

04:19 We're set in the near future,

04:20 inside the midst of this apocalypse,

04:22 where an alien race of infernal, demonic invaders

04:27 has swept into the world and destroyed civilization

04:30 as we know it, subjugating all of humanity.

04:32 And in the middle of this, we mix together

04:34 post-apocalyptic settings with survivors

04:37 and ragtag militias and marauders

04:39 and all these desperate circumstances,

04:41 along with hard sci-fi elements like battle mechs

04:44 and spaceships and cybernetics.

04:47 And then we introduce, through the others,

04:50 these fantasy elements with dark magic

04:52 and sorcery and rituals.

04:53 At the end of the day, what we really want to do

04:56 is be able to have a mech punch a dragon.

04:59 I had the pleasure of working

05:03 on the StarCraft II version of co-op,

05:05 and it was a mode that I loved dearly.

05:07 We see Stormgate's highly replayable three-player co-op mode

05:10 as an evolution of that mode

05:12 in which there are even more replayable missions.

05:16 There are more opportunities to cooperate.

05:18 In addition, enemies will be more varied.

05:20 There will be more dynamic occurrences in every given map.

05:24 One of our primary design goals with Stormgate co-op

05:27 is that it'll be a new experience every time you play.

05:30 A large part of what makes Stormgate co-op very exciting

05:33 is the heroes that we have planned for you all.

05:35 The Stormgate hero is not only

05:37 just a unit on the battlefield.

05:39 It's also a brand new array of global abilities

05:42 you can use anywhere on the map

05:44 and new units that are very specific to the hero itself.

05:48 Let's take our first co-op hero,

05:50 Blockade, from the Vanguard faction.

05:52 Blockade is known for being a resilient fighter

05:56 supporting his teammates with heals and buffs.

05:59 But Blockade's not just about defense.

06:02 As one of the most grizzled fighters in the Vanguard army,

06:05 he'll be able to jump into the battlefield

06:07 and swing his hammer around to strike fear into enemies.

06:10 And in a pinch, he'll be able to help his allies

06:12 from across the map with his ability to teleport

06:15 not only himself, but his units across the battlefield.

06:18 Co-op in Stormgate is really a mode for everyone,

06:23 and we can't wait for you to try.

06:25 For more than 20 years, real-time strategy games

06:30 have been a leader in the world of competitive gaming.

06:33 With Stormgate, we want it to be easier than ever to compete.

06:36 Our goal is to reduce the points of friction

06:38 to enter events and play with your friends,

06:40 find out who the best player in your school,

06:43 in your town, in your city is.

06:45 If you follow a content creator,

06:46 if you're part of an online community,

06:48 we want you to be able to play with your friends

06:50 and other people in that same group.

06:52 We want you to be able to spin up a tournament

06:53 and just be competing immediately

06:55 and removing any obstacles that prevent you from doing that.

06:58 At Frost Giant, we see competition

07:00 as more than just esports.

07:02 It's about community.

07:03 It's about empowering and facilitating the community

07:06 to do what they love and to let them do what they wanna do

07:09 without dictating it to them from the top.

07:11 Just so much damage over time on the high ground here.

07:14 Gaunt's trying to snowball,

07:15 but they're just gonna take a massive shot.

07:17 We've already gotten the game into the hands

07:18 of some of the most skilled players in the world,

07:20 and the results have been phenomenal.

07:22 It's been fun to watch, it's been super interesting to play,

07:24 and it's been incredibly exciting to see.

07:26 The RTS genre has a long and glorious history

07:31 with editors being released to the community.

07:33 We've seen entire new genres spring out

07:36 of the Warcraft editor, for example,

07:38 with Tower Defense and MOBAs.

07:41 That started out as RTS mods and maps,

07:44 and then grew into entire new genres

07:46 that have dominated the gaming industry.

07:48 We aim to continue that tradition.

07:50 Our team worked directly on the editors

07:53 for Warcraft and for StarCraft.

07:54 We built content with them,

07:55 and we actually helped build the tools themselves.

07:58 We're rolling all of that knowledge and experience

08:01 into the tools for Stormgate to release to you.

08:05 One of the powerful new innovations we've done

08:07 is that the editor and the tools are not a separate client.

08:09 They're built directly into the game itself.

08:11 So with the press of a button,

08:12 you can switch between gameplay and editing mode

08:15 in order to make it fast and a tight loop

08:17 to be able to create and test your own content.

08:20 These tools will be usable to build mods,

08:22 they'll be used to make maps,

08:24 and tell your own stories and build your own campaigns.

08:27 Our four Cs, the campaign, the co-op, the custom games,

08:32 and of course, the competitive gameplay,

08:35 are at the heart and soul of what we're building here.

08:38 So why are we doing a Kickstarter?

08:40 We felt that this was the best way to give the community

08:43 what they were asking for.

08:44 We've received a lot of requests for physical merchandise.

08:47 Also, we've received an overwhelming number of requests

08:50 for how players can get into the beta.

08:53 Online multiplayer testing is really expensive,

08:55 and we haven't made any money to date yet.

08:58 Through Kickstarter, we can expand the beta pool

09:01 and allow more players to get into the game

09:03 while supporting Stormgate.

09:05 One of the great things about Kickstarter

09:08 is it allows us to deliver

09:09 a Stormgate Physical Collector's Edition.

09:12 Vulcan online.

09:14 The Vulcan mech is one of the defining units

09:16 of the Vanguard army,

09:18 and we decided to make the Vulcan mech

09:20 the centerpiece of our Collector's Edition.

09:22 Here, you see a fully painted prototype

09:25 of our six and a half inch Vulcan statue.

09:27 (dramatic music)

09:30 We're really excited to build Stormgate with you

09:36 and for you, and to have you be a part of this journey

09:39 and help shape the game that we're creating.

09:42 This is the beginning of the next 10 years

09:44 for the RTS genre.

09:46 I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts

09:48 at Frost Giant for being a part of this process

09:51 and helping to bring this game to life.

09:54 (dramatic music)

09:57 (upbeat music)

10:00 (gentle music)

10:04 (gentle music)

10:07 (gentle music)

10:10 (gentle music)

10:24 (gentle music)

10:26 (gentle music)

10:29 (gentle music)
