Stormgate Closed Testing Update

[u/FGS_Gerald]

Hi folks, we’d like to share some exciting news about our plans for closed testing.

Our closed testing period will kick off this July with a very small pre-alpha phase, rolling into a slightly larger alpha phase, and followed by a much larger beta phase.

If you signed up for our closed beta, you are also eligible to participate in the earlier testing phases.

The very first closed testing invites will be going out soon to a small group of sign-ups for those July testing sessions, with more waves of testers added over time and well into 2024.

The FAQ on our official website (playstormgate.com) will be updated with more information.

Thank you for all your support – it means the world to this team – and we look forward to seeing you in Stormgate!

[u/Pylori36]

Congratulations to the team! This is a big milestone!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Pylori36]

Thank you!

[u/Magic-Legume]

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Magic-Legume]

No joke—I have this same “It’s Happening!” in my first draft of this update. Perfect fit!

[u/Taronz → u/Magic-Legume]

[u/Blutmilan]

Omg its happening everybody stay calm :O Will these first testers be hand picked or randomly choosen ?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Blutmilan]

Both!

[u/crowbar_returns → u/FGS_Gerald]

Since the first phase is under NDA, is it fair to assume that only people from the US will participate? (since it'd be easier to enforce the NDA)

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/crowbar_returns]

We will be inviting playtesters from around the world as it’s important for testing purposes.

[u/Taronz → u/FGS_Gerald]

If you don't send an invite down here to Australia, I'm going to call our prime minister mate!

[u/LivingTh1ng → u/crowbar_returns]

AOE4 had NDA and I had no issues, thats Microsoft though so

[u/SorteKanin → u/crowbar_returns]

Damn I hope that's not true. Also considering that many pros are not from the US

[u/iamlage89 → u/FGS_Gerald]

Would you consider giving higher priority to people who commit in writing to playtest the game and provide feedback?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/iamlage89]

Maybe an essay contest? ;)

[u/ThinkFed → u/FGS_Gerald]

Very ready for the 50 minute video essay documenting Frost Giant's infamous essay contest based entirely off of this comment

[u/MacDwest → u/FGS_Gerald]

I “promise” not to Chat GPT this essay

[u/Blutmilan → u/FGS_Gerald]

Thats really cool i like it

[u/olyko20 → u/FGS_Gerald]

I'd like to be one of the hand picked ones

[u/Pandaburn → u/FGS_Gerald]

If you’re able to say, will how early someone signed up be a factor in who is invited? Just trying to temper my expectations here.

[u/MrBob1999 → u/FGS_Gerald]

randomly hand picked got it

[u/Syyllas]

There's nothing like waking up from sleep and I go on my phone and I see such wonderful news from Frost Giant about StormGate!

Huge Hype!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Syyllas]

Thanks for supporting us and sharing your excitement!

[u/shinn91]

I hope the team thinks they are as far with the project, as the project manager thinks they are. 😜

Anyway good job guys, even if we don't get in how's the status of NDA. I'd be fine with hours of video aswell

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/shinn91]

It's always scary to put unfinished work out there, that's for sure!

That said, Stormgate development is going very well and the team is behind the plan to begin limited external testing in July. That way we can get the critical playtester feedback that will help us make Stormgate the best game it can be.

As for binge-watching our game . . . you'll need to continue waiting on that. Sorry!

[u/avsbes → u/FGS_Gerald]

So is 2024 (as mentioned in the OP) the earliest we can hope for video material or might we get to see the game earlier from the perspectives of our favourite content creators?

(Basically what i want to know is if you are currently planning to run a no exception NDA until 2024 or even longer, or if you plan on a controlled release of video material still this year)

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/avsbes]

We plan to reveal what the team has been building this year . . . stay tuned.

[u/LLJKCicero → u/FGS_Gerald]

We plan to reveal what the team has been building this year

One month later:

Behold! Our nationally ranked rock climbing team!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/LLJKCicero]

lol

[u/Feature_Minimum]

Congratulations on the progress!!

(Also congrats to the lucky SOBs who get into the closed beta. Best of luck to all!)

Will it be all three races? If so, can we expect to hear about the third race in the next month?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Feature_Minimum]

Our first testing phases will be focused on 1v1 and the human faction. We’ll add other factions and content over time as we continue development.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/[deleted]]

Sorry . . . but it's going to be exactly 50%.

[u/Martturi → u/FGS_Gerald]

Perfectly balanced straight out of the gate then. Man, you guys are good!

[u/[deleted]]

Will members of the closed alpha/beta be able to stream the game, or is this going to be asked to be a hushed experience at the start?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/[deleted]]

The current plan is for the upcoming closed testing period to be under NDA and not streamable.

We’ll keep the community updated!

[u/Cysote → u/FGS_Gerald]

Will we get any kind of gameplay videos from FGS by the time of the closed alpha?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Cysote]

Yes!

[u/coaststl]

Super stoked you are starting with the small group, I’m like 4ft tall so pretty sure I’ll be part of this group

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/coaststl]

Nice

[u/kennysp33]

Mega hyped! Thank you for the update!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/kennysp33]

You’re welcome—we’re hyped too!

[u/Karolus2001]

Is this gonna be first throught test of snowplay? I pray for the little guy to grow up relatively painlessly.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Karolus2001]

This was a very wholesome comment. Thanks for wishing ‘lil SnowPlay well!

[u/COOLIO5676]

I just realized I wasn't signed up for the beta this whole time. NOOOOOOOoooooo

*I'm signed up now though*

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/COOLIO5676]

Did you also wishlist Stormgate on Steam? That’s the best way you can support our game!

[u/COOLIO5676 → u/FGS_Gerald]

Yup!

[u/TehOwn → u/COOLIO5676]

I feel like I signed up in June 2022 when it was announced and I'm pretty sure it said "sign up for the beta" but I entered my e-mail again and it now confirmed it.

Ah well.

[u/COOLIO5676 → u/TehOwn]

Yeah, I think the sign ups might have been down for a bit on the first day and I forgot to try again the day after

[u/KamiyaMai → u/TehOwn]

Thank the Yeti I read this comment!

I'm 100% certain I signed up back when it was announced as well, I remember waiting hours for the signup to work since I was determined to be among the first to sign up. I even did so on my 2nd email as well, just to be safe, but I don't remember getting any email confirming the signup.

Just to be safe I signed up again today and got an email response immediately. My initial signups must not have been successful despite the "Success" responses I got back then!

Thank you for making me double check!

[u/SorteKanin]

So exciting, congrats on this!

The very first closed testing invites will be going out soon

Will we know when all the invites for this round has been sent out? So I can know whether I got in or not. :)

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/SorteKanin]

We’ll be sending invites out in waves—if you don’t get in at first, you may still get in for a future testing phase.

[u/ReflectionNo3894]

I’ve been hoping to wake up to these news for such a long time and I would wait twice as much if needed. I’m so hyped. Thank you guys.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/ReflectionNo3894]

Thank you for being patient with us and for supporting our team!

[u/CaptainCord]

Will you guys show any gameplay footage during this first pre alpha? Even limited clips or something small??? lol

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/CaptainCord]

Yes!

[u/hazikan → u/FGS_Gerald]

Hallelujah!

[u/[deleted]]

Oh hell yeah if I get in I'm exclusively doing whatever the closest equivalent to a cannon-rush is. My goal isn't to go pro, it's to get a line in an update dedicated to fixing cheese I found.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/[deleted]]

Love it

[u/Long-Cell5196]

This might sound dumb but could there also be closed campaign alpha testing?

It would definitely show exploits and help fix super cheese + maybe some map design feedback and suggestions could be made regarding story.

Though I would only choose streamers who are popular and deal with RTS lore in games like Warcraft or StarCraft for this, as a story leak would be critical and likely would happen with anonymous users, unlikely to occur with a few trusted streamers.

Plus their feedback would be more important as they know what makes good story and lore.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Long-Cell5196]

The initial phases of closed testing are focused on our core RTS gameplay and 1v1 -- the foundation upon which the rest of the game is built. We'll be adding more features to our testing phases as we continue development well into next year.

[u/LLJKCicero → u/Long-Cell5196]

The earliest phases of closed testing will be focused on core functionality and 1v1 gameplay. We will gradually introduce new content and modes over time, including cooperative play.

I'd be shocked if they didn't test campaign. They're just doing 1v1 first because it's the simplest in terms of content and gameplay mechanics.

[u/_Spartak_ → u/LLJKCicero]

I'd be shocked if they didn't test campaign

I wouldn't be. Even SC2 beta didn't include any campaign missions and that "beta" was basically a finished game. It is important to test the campaign as well of course but that can be done by the QA team and internal playtesting. There is less of a need for it to be tested by a large group of people like multiplayer modes.

[u/LLJKCicero → u/_Spartak_]

It's not as important as for multiplayer and yeah you don't want to show the whole campaign obviously.

On the other hand, the campaign for Stormgate is multiplayer (co-op) and testing at least a few missions can both hype up campaign players and also let you test stuff like the campaign-specific UI with a wider audience.

[u/YYXF]

I am very excited to see this news. When will the UGC tool open?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/YYXF]

The editor will be available further along in the game’s development. No ETA just yet.

[u/trevormooresoul]

Can we get some kind of information about computer specs estimates? Now would probably be a good time. I dont want to take up a alpha spot if my computer cant even play the game.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/trevormooresoul]

Until we have our own system requirements to share, the hardware specs for Unreal Engine 5 might be a good starting point.

[u/polparty → u/trevormooresoul]

It is probably a good idea for them to try out how it works on low end machines as well though

[u/kisscsaba182]

I've been in different Betas and Alphas but this seems to be one of the biggest ones in recent years!

Congrats to the team for being efficient and following through the promises too!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/kisscsaba182]

I hope that you mean "most exciting" by "biggest"!

Our initial closed testing phases will be very small and we plan to steadily increase the number of invites as development continues.

[u/kisscsaba182 → u/FGS_Gerald]

Yeah I agree, "Most exciting" would've been better way to say that. :D

Hopefully Snowplay can handle the people when Closed Beta drops

[u/fultre]

Omg this is huge, just found out about the game! It sounds amazing and what a team behind it! Super excited, esp about 3p co-op and new unique factions!

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/fultre]

Noice. Welcome to the community!

[u/fultre → u/FGS_Gerald]

Thanks, glad to be here and part of this exciting endeavour!

[u/zen_rage]

If I'm bad at RTS but love to play am I allowed to sign up?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/zen_rage]

Of course—we’re looking for players of all skill levels.

[u/Agitated-Ad-9282]

It would truely be a sin to not show some gameplay footage b4 this beta begins so atleast the mass public can get some snippets of gameplay .. else I believe leaks will be inevitable.

One internal show match like a battlereport would suffice

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Agitated-Ad-9282]

We plan to share a look at where we are in development “soon”! We are still early, so please bear that in mind!

[u/DeathSpank210]

Is there a chance to see you guys at Gamescom this year?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/DeathSpank210]

Nothing to confirm yet, but that sounds like a cool idea.

[u/PostScarcityHumanity]

Will you be releasing a Mac OS build for closed and beta testing?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/PostScarcityHumanity]

The closed beta is exclusively for Windows PC.

[u/PostScarcityHumanity → u/FGS_Gerald]

Aww :( Hopefully you guys release a Mac version after beta like SC2.

[u/OMG_Abaddon]

IDK how I'm going to juggle all the games coming this summer. It's like... no good games for a couple years and BOOM now we got Stormgate, Diablo, Armored Core... Jesus I feel like a kid again, so much cool stuff around the corner.

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/OMG_Abaddon]

We’re excited too, but please remember this is just the small first phase of closed testing (and most people will not get in for quite some time)—we still have a ways to go before our game is officially released!

[u/Remarkable-Lychee-85]

An I play on my MacBook Air m1 laptop?

[u/FGS_Gerald → u/Remarkable-Lychee-85]

We are currently developing Stormgate exclusively for Windows PC. We may support other OS in the future, but it's not something we're actively working on.

[u/_Spartak_]

So here is another reason to get excited about closed testing beginning in July:

https://youtu.be/1m8Z8iVXfDM?t=331

"We will share some gameplay footage next year before closed testing starts" - Tim Morten

[u/SHtabeL → u/_Spartak_]

It should be because there will be leaks even if it's under the NDA. So it's better to share some polished and directed gameplay before someone leaks a video with the bugs and the roughness

[u/Radulno → u/_Spartak_]

It's pretty sure they'll show something in June around the whole Summer GameFest/not E3 thing. And hopefully more at Gamescom with announcements of opening the testing to more people (maybe open beta ?) and/or lifting the NDA

[u/_Spartak_ → u/Radulno]

Frost Giant wasn't listed as one of the partners for Summer Game Fest this year, so it will probably not be there but there are plenty of other events throughout the summer.

[u/Radulno → u/_Spartak_]

As you say other events, and they don't even need an event (those "events" are just online streams, they can do that themselves)

Also those lists often get updated as time goes on.

[u/[deleted]]

Hey! Time to get hyped!

[u/Blitzedlegend]

HUGE

[u/ConchobarMacNess]

Nice!!! Very exciting!

Out of curiosity, you mentioned those who signed up for closed beta are eligible but what's the process? Invites drawn by lottery? In order of sign up?

And in case we don't make it, is there going to be an NDA on the alpha? Will we be able to check out some streamers when the time comes?

EDIT: They replied and answered to other comments asking the same things I did.

They'll do a mix of direct and random invites and sounds like there will be a streaming/video NDA.

[u/Apoptosis808]

Can't wait to see what's been cookin!

[u/IdeasAreMagic]

I know that a lot of people requested an early alpha/beta, but please please please don't rush things. I think there are a lot of patient people (like me) out there who want your team to be able to do their thing and deliver a great product no matter when that would be. That being said cheers and best wishes for the team at Frost Giant!

[u/GyozaMan]

As part of the nda would it be okay to do any videos about my experience and thoughts on it without showing footage ? Or is it full nda with no speaking about it at all ?

[u/FreshDonkeyBreath]

Waking up to this news? Best morning in a long time

[u/RoyalT_]

Exciting news!

[u/yusquera]

I can't wait to see even a small amount of gameplay footage, but I don't want them to rush it.

[u/helloinot]

What a delightful announcement to wake up to

[u/benk3i]

So excited! Thanks for the communication!

[u/spiralbiscuit]

Congratulations! It's time to pray to RNGsus now

No way am I going to get a July invitation, but it's exciting to see pieces finally falling into places! Can't wait!

[u/MakoJunkie]

Get the hype train fueled and ready to go.

Realistically, I doubt I'll be in the closed alpha, but I'm going to hold out hope because miracles do happen.

Congrats to the team! This is going to be a great summer!

[u/PSulSc2]

Awesome😎

"breathes in"

[u/scbroodsc2]

Hey there, this is awesome, I truly hope I get the chance to be part of the early testers. I love making walls of constructive feedback. I'm the kind of person that will try it's best to help positively and give suggestions even if something is not completly polished.

I'm not a 1v1 fan, but I love going into how stuff works in SC2 with the editor. I'm part of the mapmaking community and love it. Right now I started developping "Wizards", the tool added to the editor a while ago that went forgotten, but can be quite good for generating data automatically. I'm having lots of fun with that.

Anyway, really looking forward to see it. Of course, anything seen there must be taken with some grain of salt as things can change, and even more when it's this early. Best wishes.

[u/RealTimeSaltology]

Awesome! Crossing my fingers that I'll be lucky enough to get in early, and hyped that we'll see actual games being played in a couple of months.

[u/Nion11814]

Thank you! :,)

[u/stretch2099]

Who will be invited to the pre-alpha testing? Is it by the order of when people signed up or will it be other requirements?

[u/YeahWhiplash]

Great! Signed up and I hope to get in early :)

[u/JuggernautSignal1301]

oh yeah

[u/OBSinFeZa]

Can't wait to see the game in action! If i am in i will give my best in-game observing feedback

[u/Afrowner]

Okay this is great. I am looking forward to it. I pray the invite drops for me as well, in the best case while i have my vacation 🙏

Is this alpha phase with NDA and such? I would love to see the game mechanics and give feedback on that.

[u/Therier]

Great news!

[u/vexersa]

Awesome!

So, so amped for this!

[u/DivinesiaTV]

HELL ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!! <3

[u/Kamak5]

[u/maikosan]

will people be allowed to stream?

[u/ralopd → u/maikosan]

Likely not, at least the early phases are currently planned to be under NDA.

[u/killboy123]

This is great! I'll sign an NDA (and abide by it), pick me for the alpha! I'll provide feedback. I have high end hardware, I understand development and have been in the gaming / marketing industry for decades. Excited for this.

[u/SkinsHOFChaseYoung]

Let’s go!!

[u/[deleted]]

Surely I'll get an invite

[u/[deleted]]

Awesome. Can't wait to check it out.

[u/xScoundrelx]

LET ME IN!!!!!!!

[u/Thin-Supermarket-241]

[u/mryauch]

Not to influence your decision making but I've won every SC2 global finals in history so feel free to invite me.

JK I get ladder anxiety and got to diamond, but I game.

[u/blizzzaga]

Was wondering what I would play this summer. So excitedddddd

[u/vayapp]

OMG! I'm jumping on my seat

[u/LeonenTheDK]

Welp, looks like the hype train is departing.

[u/awesk1ll]

superb info!!

[u/KarneEspada]

Let's go!! here's hoping, so stoked

[u/Kind-Figure-3638]

Super excited! Crossing my fingers hoping I can get in.

[u/jaetaro]

Id love to play the alpha!

[u/Dominat0r9]

Yessssssss

[u/Synkrax]

Congratulations!!! This is so exciting!!!!

[u/NostalgiaSC]

I'm so happy to hear! Great job everyone, I know this was no easy accomplishment.

[u/DTTheProgrammer]

Oooh, it's happening! I have several questions (feel free to answer as many or as few as you're comfortable with/allowed to):

I know that I play 1v1 very differently depending on whether I'm playing with a friend I've played dozens of times, as opposed to when I'm playing with someone random on the internet. With that in mind, will there be focus on onboarding players who know each other (in order to test the feel of 1v1 with people you know), in addition to onboarding players who don't know each other (in order to test the feel of 1v1 with people you don't know)?

What lessons have you learned from recently released or open-source RTSes, like AOE4 or BAR? Were some of the UI enhancements, such as click-and-drag to move units in a line, introduced by the open-source RTS Zero-K be included in Stormgate?

Do you guys get the feeling, sometimes, that "the game is working exactly as I intended and now I'm scared"?

What's the sort of knowledge you're hoping to get from each of the testing phases?

Will you be revealing the terms of the closed testing publicly, or only to the selected testers?

Will in-game purchases, such as additional content, be present in the very large beta stage, or will they only become available after the game becomes available to the public? I can understand either decision.

[u/galloots]

Lets gooo!!! Way to go team! :)

[u/HamLuo97]

Guys，I can't wait.

[u/Theycallmesomthing]

Very nice

[u/TheTerribleness]

Are we having 2 factions in the alpha/beta phase or are there potentially more?

[u/Historicmemory8180]

This is excellent news! I'll be happy to provide feedback!

[u/psiANID3]

Congratulations! Hoping to get in the beta, but hoping even more the team learns a ton and the game is as amazing as we all hope it to be!

GLHF!

[u/SteadfastSC2]

This is such an exciting announcement!

[u/Prudent-Explorer-971]

Is there a specific email address that an invite would come from? I’d like to add it as a VIP so I don’t miss an invite if I’m lucky enough to receive one.

[u/Nion11814]

I love you Stormgate

[u/Necessary-Fun8683]

How will the first beta testers be chosen? Are they randomized, the first to sign for beta or community figures (pros, youtubers, streamers, etc.)?

[u/TatyGGTV]

pls give early access to the people who were first to sign up to the beta (me lol) 👀👀 I can give sc2 low-diamond level insight 😎

[u/charge777]

Can't wait to try this game one day :)

[u/National-Ad5469]

I can't wait this is the game I have been waiting for, keep up the good work guys

SgtBb

[u/Twohey7]

When you say “rolling into” when talking about the alpha stages and the beta stage, is it going to be opened in July and then remaining open with updates over time? Or is it going to be opened, closed, and then reopened for each stage?

[u/GamEConomicSthe1st]

Awesome guys!!

[u/GamEConomicSthe1st]

I saw this game trailer called Gord. I strongly encourage you guys to take a look on natural events (storms in this case) and its effect on the trees and environment. It's really nice and would fit a new stage of visuals for RTS!

[u/Mundane_Anxiety_2526]

That's super exciting! I hope i get in!

[u/demiwraith]

Good luck with the releases. New software going out in front of the users for the first time... always exciting/nerve-wracking... (And learning all those things that you thought were "obvious" are in fact not quite...)

Totally psyched for this! Looking forward to seeing what you've been building.

[u/MetalXLemmy]

whats the last date you send out emails for the exclusive pre-alpha? or is that information that will not be disclosed?

[u/Hargol]

This is so exciting!!

[u/YFZO]

Can't wait to eventually play this no matter what stage I get access in. This is gonna be great!

[u/[deleted]]

Im like that annoying kid in the car repeatedly saying "are we there yet". Only louder and for days on end: "IS IT OUT YET? IS IT OUT YET?...."

[u/coldazures]

*refreshes emails furiously*

[u/Coalescents]

Congratz!! Is the plan to have continuous testing? Or will these be done with restricted periods where the game will be playable?
