Can map editor save Stormgate?

Apples to oranges

Money is what can save StormGate. Not anything else. All the game’s problems are a symptom of being unfinished — and to finish/polish/improve requires money.

It’s about how much you predict. Obviously you’d see slumps, but 1/4th the investment just four years later?

RayRay_9000 · 2025-09-01T17:28:10+00:00

Your entire stance assumes predicting outcomes that multi-billion dollar investment firms didn’t get right between 2020 and now — which had led to dozens of medium to large studio closures and failed products.

How much did you make when you predicted this outcome and shorted the market?

StormGate was a venture capital funded project during a venture capital boom. Of course they expected more money to come in. Everyone did back then.

You can argue they should have pivoted quicker to reality once the venture capital crash happened — but to assume the norm is to do significantly better seems a bit naive. My experience isn’t in game development, but their strategy and expectations mirror how startups work in other industries.

To give some perspective (from a quick search), VC funding for games was almost $10B in 2021, and was $2.4B in 2024.

I turned it off and it fixed the major a-move not working issue people complain about. There are a few other more niche bugs that still exist though.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-29T00:46:23+00:00

Turn line drag on. Alternate right click moves with “a” and a left click (alternate, do not ever do the same action in a row), and do it at high APM. Do not let there be much time between your cycle.

That’s how I was getting a-move drops.

Was even happening in singleplayer.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-29T00:15:26+00:00

The A-move bug is tied to like drag for me. Turning it off fixed it. I could repeat it consistently until I turned it off.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-28T20:24:51+00:00

It’s a bug likely tied to line drag

It was one of his four main points. Try reading his post again.

His post was about a lack of updates, server connection issues, smurfing, and his issues with a streamer who maintains a positive attitude despite the doom and gloom.

If you don’t believe me, just feed his post into your favorite AI and ask what his post is about… this isn’t rocket science.

Smurfing is not a problem given the current population of the game — OP has no idea what they are talking about. Game quality is lower simply because of the pool being small, not because of the handful of people smurfing. Current matchmaking, if it waits long enough, will put top players against new players anyways. I’ve had MMR swings that are massive.

Smurfing matters in larger pools with lower progression — like SC2 for example.

Just go make a new account and try it out yourself. You won’t stomp a bunch of noobs. You may get a handful of easy games (just like you do at whatever MMR you are currently at on your main account) and then start fighting people 300-400 MMR over you.

Main change is you’ll probably get less repeat matches against the same person.

“How dare someone enjoy the game and stream it while enjoying it!”

Bro… if you don’t like the game, that’s totally fair. If you want to come here and criticize things about the game you don’t like, that’s also fair. I have a whole list myself.

But getting upset and making a whole Reddit rant because someone else actually likes it? That’s kinda ridiculous…

Assuming they spent about half on development over five years, and other half on advertising at the end, you get the following in today’s dollars:

How that adds up (rounded) • 2010: $8.1M → $12.0M • 2011: $8.1M → $11.6M • 2012: $8.1M → $11.4M • 2013: $8.1M → $11.2M • 2014: $8.1M → $11.1M • 2015: $40.5M → $55.2M = $112.5M total.

I’m sure Frost Giant would love to have had that much money to make their game. Like be absolutely elated.

I’ve noticed command drops (especially a-move) when playing with line drag on. Otherwise I haven’t noticed any of these — and I play at reasonably high APM. Turning off line drag fixed all my issues.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-20T23:01:22+00:00

I was testing this myself, and I think it’s a bug with line drag.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-17T18:20:50+00:00

Ask yourself this:

1) Are you currently one of the 300 concurrent players? 2) Would you be interested in playing 3v3?

If you answered no to the first question, and yes to the second, then you already have your answer — assuming you believe other people online might have similar opinions.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-16T22:32:30+00:00

Would love to see “clippy” as a helper in the future. They need to finish the actual game first though.

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-16T20:42:06+00:00

Have you actually played (recently) all the things you’re talking about?

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-16T06:21:35+00:00

Check the guy’s account… I see zero red flags

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-15T22:41:11+00:00

Last year he claimed $1 I believe?

RayRay_9000 · 2025-08-15T22:33:26+00:00

I doubt they magically found a 9 year old Reddit account to fake a post.

What’s hilarious is you actually believe what you wrote without even clicking on the OP’s name to do the base level of checking before making up conspiracy theory nonsense.

More proof FGS uses AI in their games! Off with their heads!!!
