By the way did any one of you get in the beta ?
Looks like an email went out from Frost Giant including a survey you can partake in to increase your chances of being selected for the August invite wave.
I recently had a conversation with a long time RTS fan who made the remark that Stormgate will live and die by the pro scene adoption, and that if the game isn't a spectacle at the highest level, they're in trouble. The example he somewhat jokingly gave was that if TLO can make it through a premier tournament, there are problems (lol). While I don't fully agree, it did raise an interesting point in the "spectacular" nature of what professional RTS can be. Many times while watching professional SC2 I have been in awe at the sheer speed and control at which some players are able to execute. It's a beautiful dance at speeds I cannot comprehend. On the flip side, I've personally found that I am quite simply not fast enough to play SC2 at the level my brain wants too. There can be a lot going on, and attempting to keep up can be a frustrating experience at times. In general, I prefer watching SC2 to playing it. Coming back to Stormgate, I'm all for a more approachable game that doesn't require the same level of (sometimes inhuman) speed and precision. I want a game that's fun, approachable, while still offering enough room to challenge myself. I'd love to have it both ways. A game that inspires awe when played at the highest level, while still being approachable and fun. I'm not sure it's possible, but I'm hoping the game can strike a middle ground between the two.
Looks like it's an updated version from the gameplay reveal. Animations are pretty neat (especially the footprints).
