We💙SC2 too.
You won't find bigger StarCraft fans than Frost Giant--we're the former SC2 team and poured our hearts into that game. We hope people play it forever.
But we weren't done making RTS games and we're psyched about making Stormgate. We hope SC2 fans will enjoy both.
Congratulations to

's question about APM:
As you know, RTS is considered one of the most challenging genres to play and it doesn’t help that at the highest levels of play, APM is one of the critical metrics for success. [🧵1/6]
This was Stormgate, November 4 2020.
Can’t believe our beta will be open and playable by EVERYONE February 5-12 during Steam Next Fest.
Get in even earlier by supporting the biggest video game Kickstarter of 2023 and help us build our dream RTS.

Hey
@_Borsti
, we welcome the scrutiny. F2P for us is not about infinite MTX. It's about making RTS more accessible than ever before. Our plan is to offer optional purchases that were popular with players from our experience with SC2 and NEVER go pay-to-win.
The way
@Frost_Giant
