To the Next Ten Years of RTS Games 

Support this GAME! Even if its just a little bit, these guys deserve it and they can deliver!

As a hard-core SC and SC2 fanboy with, give or take, 20 years of experience with those titles, I salute you. Thank you so, so much for keeping the genre alive. I've been supporting you. I will jump on the bandwagon as early as a game is available. God bless RTS!!!

WC3 and TFT were the games that got me into WC lore. Was hoping for a WC4 at Blizzcon, or some kind of SC announcement, but was sad it never happened. I've been missing a good RTS and this looks like it can/will hit that itch. Take your time boys. I'm willing to wait for quality.

This is everything, you'll have the most dedicated and passionate fan base of Dad gamers across all genres.

You already got double your goal on Kickstarter after just 40 minutes... If that doesn't show excitement for a project I dunno what will. I love what you guys are doing.

I backed via the signed collector's edition! WOOOoooo! Wish I had more money so I could back with the $5k option! I'm so grateful for the Stormgate team!!! Thank you for not giving up on the RTS community! We won't let you down! "I am the fire start-ah"

Easiest pledge I’ve made. I can’t wait to see how this game develops

I don't even play these type of games (if I remember correctly, my first and last RTS was Dawn of War 2), but I can feel the passion these guys radiate. Best wishes to the project and everybody involved

What I liked about SC2 is the style/feel - it was somewhat serious, meaning the things you do felt impactful both visually and mechanically. Please gift us with the same secret formula in Stormgate, I think that's quite important! Overall, keep refining what you do, because I truly believe that the direction of this game is awesome!

I really like the direct communication you guys are doing. I've been following this game for a while now so I am incredibly excited to see where this is going. Keep it up!

one of the most worthy projects in all of gaming today. RTS is not a big money maker but the fanbase sticks around for years upon years. These guys are doing it for the fans of the genre.

Starcraft was the first game I ever played back in 2009. Forever changed my life. You have my support all the way.

Starcraft 2 is one of the most important games in my life. And now Stormgate is one of the most anticipated games of my life. Absolutely love your work guys and i'll be there day 1 playing Stormgate. May RTS never die!

the Frozen Throne campaign is literally my favourite campaign in the RTS genre! Lots of talented people working on this game. Makes me very excited :D

Thank you for reviving the RTS genre! From a longtime player and fan, that felt we were forgotten by the industry. I salute you

Oh so fantastic to see all these people I admire for making my favorite RTS games ever, together working on Stormgate!

I am so happy for this. RTS is one of my favorite genre. I'm so glad you have included a campaign and co op missions.

I currently follow the WC3 and SC2 competitive scene, and I am so excited to add another game to that list! I'm terrible at RTS games but I do love watching great gameplay.

This all sounds great! For the campaign, one feature that I would like to see the return of is how in StarCraft 2, you could do missions where depending on the choices you made that would open up certain unit upgrades. That was just so freaking good way implementation of "story and consequence" in a RTS game. I would love to see a return of that feature in stormgate!

StarCraft 2 is my favorite game ever. I have at least 20,000 hours in it. I have met friends of over 10 years that I still talk with every day from StarCraft 2. I know there are a bunch of people like me who cannot wait for this game. Other RTS just don’t do it for me, but I know this one will.

This may be the game that save the RTS genre for good

The second i saw the guy leap over trees and bladestorm a group of units, I knew this was going to be an amazing game.

i'm ridiculously excited for this because of 1 thing. they started with building a solid map editor! if this is true i'm looking forward to some massive innovation. i remember when in wc3 tft custom games really took off. i mean LITERALLY multiple genres spawned from custom games in sc and wc tft polished them into absolute gems! i miss playing impossible bosses and other awesome customs!

Nothing but respect and support for y'all! Good luck with everything guys!

I fell in love with rts from starcraft 64, now those same vibes are showing up for this game. Keep up the good work!

Really looking forward to a really solid RTS, been a while!

Thank you for keeping this genre alive. I will definitely buy your game! 👏🏼👌🏼🤝🏼👍🏼 I have a request, please remember that nowadays we use larger monitors with 4K. in my case 42 inches and 4K. I.e. You should be able to zoom far away, otherwise the units will be displayed much too large. I currently have the problem with StarCraft 2. The old games were designed for small monitors.

Can't wait, keep up the great work guys!

Just backed $350. See you all in the beta!

I really love that you guys are highlighting the social side of the game. Having it accessible to form and join groups is something that is missing dearly from gaming these days I find. It leads to all kinds of amazing things, including better new player experience and longevity and IMO is the core aspect to what made Warcraft 3 as successful as it was!

I fell in love with this game because of the calmness and warmth in Tim Campbell's voice! 10/10 would play!

Free to play and emphasizing customization is smart. I don't know for sure if RTS can become big again, but your approach is giving it the best chance to succeed. Seems like you all are really throwing the kitchen sink at this, and as an RTS fan, I definitely appreciate it. Best of luck to your team!

9:56 I got a little tear in my eye. What a great pitch! I can’t wait to see what comes of this.

Wow, Paladin is a Paladin, Blademaster and a giant Ursadon.

You're the best! Really looking forward to the release, it's going to be the reborn of RTS!

OLG THIS IS THE MOST HYPED IBE BEEN BY FAAAR!!! THE MAURADERS LOOKED AMAZING, INFERNAL UNITS ARE GIVING ME SUCHHHH A WARCRAFT VIBE IN THE BEST OF WAYS, GAMEPLAY IS LOOKING CRISP, CINEMATIC CAMERA GAVE ME SUCH A NOSTALGIA HIT AND MY GO OH MY GOD DO I WANNA KNOW WHAT THAT THIRD FACTION IS

I feel like if this and ZeroSpace don't save the RTS scene next year, I don't think anything will!

They pretty much already hit the kickstarter goal lol

I rarely support games on Kickstarter, but with both this and ZeroSpace I supported on day one. After seeing this video, I am now so optimistic for the future of the RTS genre, you guys are doing amazing work. I am so excited to be able to see what else you guys are working on, and even more excited to be able to get my hands on it. This looks like everything I've ever wanted from RTS games growing up, and the fact that you guys have such a big focus on coop, campaign and custom maps/mods etc, is just amazing. It's something so close to my heart (WC3 custom maps got me into software and game development in the first place!). Keep up the great work!

Love how you are delivering a full game - multiplayer, co-op, campaign, custom games, replays, etc. etc. Too many games these days are half complete. They say it's 'agile' or whatever, I call it half assed.

I love how you guys are putting so much effort on the modding scene right out of the gate!

That one looks so beautiful... I hope the story is very motivating for player to get invested in gameplay.

Thanks for fightin the good fight. Words can't describe how much I've missed the old SC2 days.

I'm so excited about this game! Salute and a massive W to the amazing team behind this project. I cannot begin to describe what RTS means to me and with people like these it makes me filled with joy to see that the response has been so received well! Goes to show how many people are feeling the same way. Bravo Frost Giant Games, Bravo!

The map and scenario editor is key to prolonging the life of the game. I watch Korean competitive SC:BW and what changes the meta and keeps the game active are the new maps!

If you could revive and enhance WC3's custom map scene as it was at its peak this will be my game of the decade. Goodluck FGS!

The editor and the game being the same is really quite cool! Keep the Blizzard RTS thing alive!

First time supporting a Kickstarter. I truly hope you all succussed in delivering an amazing RTS game. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more about it. Hopefully playing it to :)

The game is looking better than I expected! Really nice work so far!

Thank you so much for making this game and for everyone in the teams previous work on SC2 & Warcraft3 some of the best gaming years of my life with those games. Thank you so much for creating such amazing games. Stormgate genuinely looks like it’s gonna be the great game of all time!

@Frost Giant Studios omg i missed you guys, i cant wait to play the campain and be immersed in a story created by you guys, starcraft 1-2, warcraft III , all dreamy game with amazing story and gameplay, when i heard blizzard decided to stop this, i was so sad, but you guys are our rts gods keeping it alive in our hearts, long live to you guys!!!! im gonna wish list this for sure!!!!

7:15 MOM I AM ON THE INTERNET AND I LOVE IT! Stormgate is shaping up to be AMAZING!

Although I'm more of an Age of Empires enjoyer, I hope the genre goes far so thank you for keeping it going ❤

I'm so excited for Stormgate. After playing sc2 for the last 12 years I'm ready for something new!

Its like a studio watched and really understood @GiantGrantGames and took all his ideas on what will make the next great rts and is doing it 😮😮😮

Starcraft and Warcraft were the first RTS I ever played and have loved them since. Backed the Kickstarter, I can't wait for this! ❤

I discovered SC1 and 2 only recently so for me, I couldn't be happier to be joining the new era of what looks to be the best, if not one of, current day RTS.

I wish all the best to this game, and I’ll definitely support it, hope even when you’ll succeed, you still would communicate with your player base just as well.

Donated to kickstarter. Glad to help support the RTS genre, and more specifically the Frost Giant team.

THIS is how you make a video and a game for the fans! Love it and can’t wait for this new RTS 😊

Well done Frost Giant! Looks amazing

The Blizzard we all want back.....

Warcraft III was the game that introduced me to RTS games. So at first I wasnt too into the campaign but as soon as I heard "I was the lead campaign designer on Warcraft III and TFT" I instantly got hooked

I do not per-order games but I am watching this with great interest. If they deliver I will be all in. Good luck Frost Giant. I want you to succeed so badly.

Absolutely pumped. Good to see all that crystal clear communication ! How gamedev should be done. Bravo !

this is so exciting im not even a big rts player but warcraft iii was one of the first games id ever played and the storytelling in its campaign is still one of my favorites after all these years. rlly rlly excited to see it

Keep it up, guys! Very nice to see this game's getting better and better with each dev iteration.

WOOHOOOOO I just can't thank you guys enough for creating a new RTS !!!!! count me in for the early access !!!!!

Stormgate Studios is the equivalent of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team for the RTS genre. It feels good knowing the developers actually care about the game they are making because they are just as big of fans of the genre that we are. Which makes sense, because some of them probably helped create the RTS genre.

Thanks for this. Good luck on the stages and goings-forward.

I see the manager roaming the grounds at 0:17, I bet he's a really happy boy.

I have to say, back in the 90s it was Blizzard and Westwood Studio that made me love videogames, First with C&C and WarCraft 2, then StarCraft, War3 and Frozen Throne, game that is still installed on my PC - the original Frozen Throne I mean, as I still own my physical copy from 2003. Because of that, the Stormgate project resonates in me, and I can feel the genuine passion in Tim's voice. I'll support you guys. And I wish you the best for this ambitious project.

I love everything about this. I have faith in you guys!

So excited for this game and studio!

At 0:10, there was this split second in which thought the theme of Baywatch would start playing.

Oh god i need this in my life! I git a little emotional watching some of the gameplay because it felt like i was watching an RTS from the good old days! I can't wait for this because the entire time im think what a good storyteller this team will be so that campaign is going to be hige for me, BUT CO-OP THOUGH! I haven't seen co-op rts since C&C or SC2 commander mode! Speaking of which im, the different commanders with their own units and abilities harkens back to C&C Generals + Zero Hour which has been my favorite RTS since i was little. Super excited to support on Kickstarter.

Not been as excited for a game for years. This sounds so good and promising. Looking foward to a bright rts future

I've got pretty high expectations from this. I just hope they can deliver.

When you have good people + good leading team making a game for the good reasons. There is no chance this game is bad. Can't wait to try all of this ! Let's goooo !!!

I like how the different factions kinda feel like old KKND. Really hope this turns out well!!

Thank you for you making this game, I hope for its bright future.

4:53 - "At the end of the day all what we really want to do is have a mech punch a dragon." This is everything.

As a seasoned gamer, I would like to offer you some advice. Firstly, do not let corpses automatically refresh and disappear. What you need is a feeling of corpses and blood sea, which can be referenced from Total War or Epic War simulators. Secondly, adding a building destruction system can be referenced from British companies and battlefields. It will definitely give people a more shocking sense of war! Fighting in the sea of blood, at the scene where corpses pile up like mountains!

As a long time strategy games and RTS games veteran, i gladly supported your new RTS game on Kickstarter and wish you good luck on your project. Long live RTS, the Epitome of Competitive Gaming.

Je sens vraiment que le jeu va devenir une pure masterclass dans la décennie. Dès que je choperais l'accès à la bêta, je pars ratio le ladder ! à +

Cool Frost Giant, It’s very cool so far, Great Work. However I feel the buildings could do with some visual improvements in their design/aesthetic. Can you make the buildings more interesting and cool? A lot of them, especially from the human faction look kind of uninteresting… One of the things that is great about Warcraft 2 and 3 and Starcraft is that the buildings are so iconic and have so much character, each one is distinctive and easily identifiable. Also, the terrain side of things in terms of adding more of the details such as ‘exotic plants’, environmental /visual effects such as Storms would really add a lot to the visuals (Lightening Storms and blizzards for example) and different colour mists/fog in some areas and ancient ruins of structures etc to make the terrain more visually pleasing and engaging, such attention to detail really enhances the immersive feeling of the game for both the player and the spectators, also the inclusion of interactive terrain which can be ‘blown up’ or somehow modified for realistic but just as importantly - tactical gameplay! Really looking forward to this Game, why not make it the best RTS yet, and outdo the others in EVERY way… as the expression goes: ‘The devil is in the details’. 💙

I was afraid that the RTS genre was dead, but I'm relieved to see the huge enthusiasm around this game!

Very cool. Can't wait to try this

Still a bit sad, that the setting is more starcraft than warcraft. But once you go kickstarter, i am there to support you! I'll always appreciate the great times you gave me with warcraft3 when i was still a teen. And hope that i can bring your cool stuff to my own kids once, their time comes 🎉

I once played SC on my mom's company laptop so long that I overheated it and bricked it. This was back in 2000. I'm so excited about this game

Thanks for the all work that you/team are putting inside this project. I wish you bring us, good old days of RTS.

Not my kind of game, but I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully the success will lead to more people trying out RTS games.

Holy shit, it's almost like if a company actually listened to what the playerbase likes!!

How quick you managed to reach and surpase your Kickstarter goal is a testament to how much people in the community like you guys. Gratz to you for that. Keep innovating everything from the visuals to the mechanics, you guys are going to make something great, we have your backs!

Wishlisted since June... "Sooooooon Available" I can't wait!

I loved SC2 and I'd like to see what you guys have done to go beyond SC2 / wc3 experiences. It feels like "we're making everything sc2 has..." and I'm waiting for the "and more" part but im not quite getting that. That's just my impression (and i'm not fully sold) but things look pretty good and I'm excited to see where it goes.

In description: "We are Frost Giant Studios, and we love Real-Time Strategy games." Straight to the point, everything you need to know.

I am so pumped for this game, but even more I AM SO PUMPED for this studio!!! As a vanilla wow and warcraft 2/3 fan. I have watched the soul of the industry be drained by evil corporate greed. This is the first time in well over a decade where it seems like games will be made for us rather than to profit off of us. I'm glad I found where the beating heart that gave us the great games like vanilla wow and warcraft series has gone too. The community was desperate for exactly this!!! P.S. Fingers crossed you guys make an mmorpg eventually! The community knows that you guys are the real heart of (old blizzard) and we are with you!

Haven't seen a promising RTS in years, this is really peaking my interest! Very happy to hear custom maps are the future.

Here we go
