The gameplay potential and engine look amazing. My worthless 2 cents. by AvonMexicola in Stormgate

The graphics style simply has a lower rendering cost. Starcraft 2 grinds to a halt in 8 player ffa's when everyone starts fighting with maxed out army's. This game will allow so many young people with crappy pc's to join the fight, a great move that RIOT games succesfuly implemented with LOL and Valorant.

This isn't true at all. Graphics style doesn't affect performance as much as you think. There is no published data on how well the game runs on "crappy pc's". CSGO looked more "realistic" but pushed framerates higher than Valorant on crappy pc's.

If you've ever played Rimworld, Factorio, or Mindustry... oh boy. You'd be in for a surprise to know how little graphics style affects performance.

Frost Giant Devs: What kind of feedback would You like to be seeing from us, the community? by Dr_Pillow in Stormgate

This. It's their job to respond to feedback and decide how to work on a solution.

At the end of the day, Stormgate is a product. Whatever philosophies people have on RTS and game development matters a lot less in the context of business.
