DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

stormgate is an ambitious real-time strategy game from Frost Giant Studios, which was founded in 2020 by former Blizzard developers responsible for such legendary games as Warcraft III и StarCraft II. The idea for the game came about as a response to the lull in the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, which has seen no major releases in recent years. The developers set themselves the goal of creating a game that could breathe new life into the RTS genre, offering players both familiar elements and innovative mechanics.

Stormgate Win64 Shipping 2024 09 08 15 41 27 382

Announcement stormgate took place in 2022 at the Summer Game Fest, where the game immediately attracted the attention of both genre veterans and new players interested in the revival of classic strategies. Frost Giant Studios actively used community feedback to improve the project at all stages of development. The main focus was on creating a game accessible to all types of players - both eSports athletes and those who just want to enjoy the single-player campaign or cooperative modes.

The game's campaign will take place in the distant future, where humanity has encountered an alien race known as the Infernals. Players will fight epic battles, controlling both mechanized armies and futuristic technology, which will give the game a variety of units and tactics. In addition to traditional battles, stormgate will also offer co-op campaigns and online battles with a ranking and league system, making the game attractive for eSports.

One of the most important aspects of the development is the creation of a unique balancing system between classic RTS and modern network capabilities. Frost Giant set itself the task of creating a game that would offer depth and complexity for hardcore players, but at the same time would be accessible to beginners. This is achieved through intuitive interfaces, a flexible control system and a variety of game modes. At the same time, network capabilities include support for clans, custom games, tournaments and integration with major streaming platforms.

GRAPHICS

Graphic component stormgate takes it to the next level with a powerful engine Unreal Engine 5, which became a real revolution in the industry. Unreal Engine 5 provides extensive capabilities for rendering and simulating graphics in real time. Using this engine allowed developers to create huge maps with a high degree of detail, where players can enjoy not only the variety of units, but also the environment. With support for 4K resolution and advanced lighting and shadow systems, every scene in the game looks lively and dynamic.

Stormgate Win64 Shipping 2024 09 08 15 42 28 018

One of the key features of the graphics stormgate became the integration of the particle system Niagara. This system allows for complex particle effects such as explosions, magic attacks, and atmospheric effects to be created without the need for complex programming. This allows artists to work more freely and make changes to visual effects more quickly. This way, every magic strike or projectile in the game not only has physical interaction with objects, but also looks like an impressive visual show.

Additionally, stormgate supports environment deformation systems and object physics, allowing players to feel the real impact of combat on the map. Impacts and explosions will destroy walls, leave craters and modify the landscape, which adds depth to the gameplay and creates unpredictable conditions for battles. Frost Giant also worked on unit animations, allowing them to move smoothly and naturally, even in large-scale battles, while maintaining high performance.

GAME ENGINE

To create a unique gameplay experience, Frost Giant Studios developed its own engine SnowPlay, which is responsible for all in-game mechanics and network interactions. Unlike Unreal Engine 5, which is used for the visual and graphical aspects of the game, SnowPlay focuses on gameplay mechanics, combat simulation, and network integration. This is a key element for an RTS, as it requires processing huge amounts of data in real time.

Stormgate Win64 Shipping 2024 09 08 15 48 48 874

One of the key achievements of the SnowPlay engine is the ability to simulate thousands of units simultaneously, creating the feeling of large-scale battles. This system was specifically designed to maintain smooth gameplay, even with huge armies moving and fighting on the battlefield. SnowPlay also provides precise control of units, including their behavior, tactical actions, and interaction with the environment.

Another important feature of SnowPlay is its support netcode rollback — a network interaction system that minimizes delays and lags in online play. This technology predicts the actions of players and instantly corrects them in case of discrepancies. This provides incredibly responsive and dynamic gameplay in multiplayer modes, where every second is important for decision-making. Rollback netcode makes online matches smoother and less dependent on the quality of the Internet connection, which significantly improves network interaction and the possibilities of eSports competitions.

Stormgate Win64 Shipping 2024 09 08 15 53 44 486

SnowPlay also supports integration with data analysis and artificial intelligence systems, allowing the game difficulty to be dynamically adjusted based on player skill. This is especially important in co-op modes and when creating custom matches, where you can adjust enemy strength and create unique scenarios for different types of players.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

Minimum settings

At minimum graphics settings stormgate Players can expect basic texture quality, simple lighting and shadows. Visual effects such as explosions, magic and water movement may be less detailed. Distant objects in the frame may appear more blurry, and the overall atmosphere of the game will be more “flat”. This is done to ensure stable performance on devices with minimal resources.

Maximum settings

At maximum graphics settings, the game shows complete visual superiority. Textures become detailed, the environment is drawn with a high degree of detail, and objects at long distances remain clear. Light effects, shadows and reflections become more realistic, adding a cinematic effect to the game. This creates an immersive effect, where every detail of the environment and the actions of the characters becomes part of a living world.
