Game Still Runs Crap & Uninspired For Year 2025 - UNINSTALLED

[Tyvern]

You know what? Let me give you a slap of reality. Godsworn, an RTS indie game that has a resemblance of War Craft 3: Reforged, built using Unity Engine is almost impeccable, downright fun, and with simplistic yet immersive graphics in any way made by only TWO DEVELOPERS who have been working tirelessly for over 2 years now. That game is more optimized compare to this. And, Frost Giant has what? 15 or 20 employees? Maybe less or more? Yet, the game still runs bull-crap, unsmooth even when you have a 144 Hz refresh rate gaming monitor with stable FPS, graphics are awful, and just complete monotonous. In short, this game is NOT FUN to play.

It feels like the devs don't have a genuine love for this game. The game feels uninspired too, just boring.

There's no acceptable and logical excuse to this. Shameful.

Very confused by the feedback, you say you have 144hz stable fps, but its not smooth? Are you talking about FPS drops? gameplay hitches?

Godsworn also has units clip through each other while pathfinding and seems to have very simple textures avoiding reflections and metallic materials in its graphics, which should help a lot with performance by reducing calculations, so it should definitely be easier on a PC.

Just wait until you learn about The Scouring. Made by not two but one dev. With way better optimization. It even had day / night cycle implemented before SG. But the most important thing to me personally is how it shows your opponent's ping in 1v1 before the match starts and allows you to dodge if it feels unfair. Whereas Stormgate doesn't care in the slightest. And gameplay is actually fun. No wonder the game has more players.

Let's talk about graphics then: War3 reforged compared to all new RTS games (TS. ZS, SG with the new update, or this game Godsworn) are all better graphics that Reforged. It feels like the revamp of War3R was good only for units but the terrains are so bad compared to all newer RTS, like it looks almost the same as old just slightly more HD. War3R feels lke the most useless remaster - only to improve things slightly more HD. Unit revamps are the only true imporvement.

The new graphics of SG are not worse than the graphics of Godsworn. But Godsworn has nice graphics too a little more cartoony but better than what SG used to be. Now SG has equally good / better graphics.

for performance issues im sure SG has more to optimize but this doesn't mean - scrap the whole game. I don't have such problems I dont try to run at very high FPS, or res so im fine .

Gameplay looks like HOMM

Just a correction on this one point. Stormgate has had a day/night cycle in Infested Crater since EA started. Yes, that map was taken down for a while due to performance issues, but it's been back since 0.1.3 in November(before The Scouring demo released). Patch 0.3 simply updated the day/night cycle with the new lighting system and brought it to a custom version of a ladder map.

If you actually played this game rather than just stir up drama about it and shill other games, you might know this basic information.

Yeah it's not very optimized to say the least. It lags like crazy, even with a powerful new computer. SC2 never lags. BW never lags. Only SG. Also I can't even see sht and it hurts my eyes. They should've listened to the player base after early access, and completely redone the art from the ground up. It's even worse now and it's so cartoony and dark, laggy, BORING units. I can't even describe my anger for the devs who owe it to the fans to make a good RTS. They screwed up on so many levels.

You did a really poor job advertising it as "New Day and Night cycle coming" on reddit then. Should've worded it as "Updated" to avoid ambiguity and make it clear for people who don't care about co-op. Besides, The Scouring has it in PvP and it's a major gameplay feature there. Still a win in my book. And it didn't take $40m to achieve that.

Btw, you are so hostile and toxic because your favorite game has failed and quickly runs out of money while FG struggles to deliver any meaningful updates that would bump the player numbers for more than a week. It's fine, you can vent your frustration here, I'm a good listener. But it won't stop me from discussing games that do things better. If Blizzard veterans can't come up with solutions on their own - maybe they'll copy someone else's homework at least. This is what Blizzard was known for after all - copying ideas from other games and polishing the hell out of them.

The Reddit post is titled as follows: "New Day and Night cycle coming to an Infested Crater near you!"

Words have meaning. "New" in this case means a new version.

Stormgate is not my favorite game. I like it, but it's unfinished and I have plenty of other games that interest me.

This is some interesting projection. I'm not venting any frustrations here. I was merely correcting a point you had wrong. I am sorry if I offended you with facts.


Also, this is the Stormgate forums, are you really only here to keep shilling The Scouring now?

1. "New" can also mean "a new never-before-seen feature". "Update" doesn't have that ambiguity.
2. Your message history proves otherwise.
3. Your hostility towards people who criticize Stormgate here and on reddit suggests that there is indeed a lot of frustration. It's ok if you don't want to admit it yet.
4. No need to feel so insecure when other games are mentioned. There's also Tempest Rising, Battle Aces, Beyond All Reason, and many more. All of which have their own advantages. Stormgate could (and should) definitely learn from them.
