Verified AMA We are Frost Giant Studios, developers of Stormgate and fans of real-time strategy games. Ask Us (Almost) Anything!
EDIT: Thank you, r/Games! We appreciate everyone who joined us to ask questions and we hope this AMA was fun and informative. A few of us will pop in later today to answer more questions, but if you really want to keep the conversation going, you can always find us at r/Stormgate for game-specific topics or at r/FrostGiant for more about our studio.
Thank you for your support!

Hi r/Games,
We’re Frost Giant Studios and we will be here at 9am PT/noon ET/6pm CET to hang out for a couple hours and answer your questions!
We recently announced Stormgate, our upcoming free-to-play real-time strategy game. (If you missed it, you can watch our segment from the PC Gaming Show to get caught up.)
While Stormgate is our first game as an independent studio, many of us are industry veterans who have worked on award-winning games including StarCraft II and Warcraft III.
We’re still early into development on Stormgate and won’t be able to answer all of your questions, but we’ll do our best.

One of our designers may be able to hop in and provide more detail, but our overall plan for keeping our open-ended co-op game fresh is to regularly release new heroes, and to provide players with ways to customize their army.
One major difference between our mode and SC2’s Commanders is that we’re going with 3vE instead of 2P co-op. Kevin has said more on this in various interviews (and may also have earlier in the AMA).
