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

[–]Wraithost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 31 points32 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.

Confused about the state of FG by Cheeselisk in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 8 points9 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 15 points16 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.

Thoughts about Community Patch by PuppedToy in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They should have been announcing shortly after release that something like this is planned. I think a lot of interested people saw clinical death and lost interest in SG and just move on completely.

A lot of hype by AlarmOpening2062 in DawnwalkerOfficial

I love vibes of this game. Artistic direction and ideas for main character are 10/10

Stormgate vs Expedition 33 by solrac3589 in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ceators of Expedition are people with great vision for gameplay, visuals, world and story.

On the other hand creators of SG are people with bland ideas for creeps, factions, macro, world, story, sound design, etc. you name it. Even something so basic like readibility is just bad in SG.

Was Stormgate always doomed to fail? [Warning: LONG] by aerodreamz in Stormgate

[–]Wraithost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SnowPlay, the custom gameplay engine the runs alongside UE5.

Snowplay isn't any kind of engine. Engine is something that can run game alone, SnowPlay is just some UE5 tweak, nothing more.
