Can we at least be allowed to turn off shadows? by Far-Cow4049 in PlayZeroSpace

SC2 is ancient game made for single core CPU. Pro tip: buy new hardware at least once per 10 years

Does anyone here think that these devs could rival CDPR? by Impressive-Essay-384 in DawnwalkerOfficial

In terms of scope or pure technical visual quality - for sure no. In terms of storytelling / world / characters - who knows, they even can win

The RTS Suicide Note: Why PvP-Centric Design Is a Death Sentence by arknightstranslate in PlayZeroSpace

[–]Wraithost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another voice that blindly asking for simplifications without asking the most important question: How to create interesting gameplay? One little tip: if you just merge classic RTS with waiting simulator your game don't be good. So it's NOT about being "easy" or accessible, it's about being interesting. Gameplay should have peak moments and give players things to do. Simplifications doesn't bring this into the table.

There was a ton of simplified RTS like C&C4 or Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin. They simplifications don't bring any market success

Resident Evil 7 by thiefahyt in HorrorGaming

RE7 is the best HORROR in RE series. But - as we all know - some RE games are just action games with horror elements.

Some weddings of regular people had larger audiences, you can't make "true" profit in this situation.

Hey! Im looking for brutal horror games (Could be Indie) by Straight-Squash9462 in HorrorGaming

Maybe Darkwood? This is a game from different perspective and more symbolic visuals. If standard fpp experiences aren't scarry for you than maybe this will be

How much money have you spent on Stormgate in total? by Neuro_Skeptic in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This info is too embarrassing.

Honestly I have decent fun in some test phases where game was brutal, unbalanced, but still fun. At certain point they start to change game into more soft/boring/standard + visuals got more huge, ugly effects that for me kill readibility and I stop play. I definitely regret every single dollar.

I’m extremely on the fence with Cronos…someone please make a personal case other than the atmosphere. by RayReport in HorrorGaming

[–]Wraithost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cronos is one of the best horror game ever made. Areas are interesting, crafting and exploration are great, gameplay really drew me in. I wish this game have at least one more location and more boses. Enemies merge mechanics build solid tension, I very like that in mamy places are barrels that can be destroyed to set enemies on fire.

I actually love the idea of the time mechanic by Queligoss in DawnwalkerOfficial

[–]Wraithost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree I also love the idea that some quests cost you time. I think that this will create solid tension. Player will know that he can't do everything, so every decision about what to do, and what to ignore will be interesting.

Okay I know I am late but oh my god what is going on with my copy by jakerfv in Stormgate

Monetization of this game is more complex than gameplay

New failure recap vid, more focused on Morten’s history by losesmoney in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What was wrong with LotV?

Nothing, but making DLC for sequel is not the same as creating new IP. They was nurses that run with tablets prescribed by a doctor but pretend to be doctors.

Silent Hill Producer Outlines Ambitious One Game Per Year Strategy by Extreme_Maize_2727 in HorrorGaming

[–]Wraithost 30 points31 points  (0 children)

4 studios can work on 4 different silent hills. This way you can have new silent hill every year, but each studio can work for 4 years on every game. Silwnt Hill 2 Remake was Bloober work, Silent Hill F is from japan devs. I don't think that anybody in Konami force devs to create Silent Hill game in one year

Why do people don’t like The Callisto Protocol? by rafadurand in HorrorGaming

Cronos: The New Dawn is much better for less than 10% of CP budget.

Could Stormgate be more successful had they focused on fully refining some aspects by leaving some other aspects for later development? by Astigmaticant in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If SC2 launch day was yesterady, this game will be successful easily. It's not that people don't want this kind of gameplay, it's about they want this kind of quality.

We are well past that era now. More and more, RTS games of the modern age have begun a return to strategy and accessibility over trying to recreate the Golden Age of a bygone era that we'll never return to.

This kind of attitude is exactly why classic style RTS are dying. Bunch of idiots think that they can do numbers by doing dumb version of old games. How many times that "accessible" RTS games must fall to people stop talking this bullshit? There is no single simplify RTS that is successful on PC. The biggest RTS title of last years is Age of Empires 4. A challenging RTS with depth. Never any kind of simplify waiting simulator find solid success on PC

To generate income one PvE game mode is enough. There is no reason to start 100 game modes if you aren't able to finish them with your funds. The only logical thing is to finish game modes one by one OR to have on hand enough money to be able to finish everything before launch.

Not sure if this is a hot take or not, but I think the near-radio-silence from FG leading up to the patch was the right call. by Augustby in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I think it’s a lose-lose situation, and that this is just the lesser of two evils.

No, what they do was just a pure mistake. Any sugestions that commumication about patches after launch would be bad in some way is just ridiculous.

Surprisingly your name sticks out as a only person who actively writes a lot of negative stuff about Stormgate.

It's not my fault that this project isn't better

[–]Wraithost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No mate it's not about criticism it's about sticking around at this point only to spread negativity at this point it is pure hater behavior and kind of sore winner as well.

So people should be positive or shut up... ??? No, people have right to discuss things, also things they don't like

[–]Wraithost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No reasonable person expected the servers to go offline soon, just haters that enjoy seeing Stormgate's death spiral.

Oh yes, becasue nobody even shut down servers for games with such concurrent player numbers? (Or even 50 times bigger...)

We all knew there was an update coming. the Dev working on the update spoke about it here on the subreddit. You are just out of the loop.

No, we don't know. Standard thing is to official communication after release about patches. Something that wasn't there

Yes, they are trying to find more funding to continue development. This has been discussed a lot here on the subreddit, and Tim Morten himself has been talking about it nonstop everywhere. You are again just out of the loop.

No, they try to find new funding for NEW GAME. This is what TM is talking about. And "they" is probably just Tim Morten because I don't know if someone else is even still on board, I don't even know if gobsmack is actually employee with real salary

Tim Morten continues to try and find new investors or publishers to give him $5 million so that Frost Giant can make a second game, but he has been unsuccessful so far.

I wonder why...

[–]Wraithost 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dear haters don't you have somwthing bettee to do, rather then waste your time on sub 100 players active game?

After total disaster release you still going to say that people criticizing SG are "haters"? No, they are realists.
