   > Some players dislike our stylized art direction and, as I noted in our last AMA, we’re going to continue to refine our look, but we’re committed to a stylized direction. We think it’s the right creative choice for Stormgate.
   
   bold move to knowingly tell your customers to go fuck themselves, let's see how it plays out :ablobcatpopcorn:

     @slash i know a lot of people hate the bliz cartoony style. i don't necessarily hate it but its 2024, don't be afraid to actually use the PBR renderer channels.

     @icedquinn RTS game made by high profile RTS devs having broken off for their own studio- the odds already weren't good so they may as well make whatever decision they were gonna make confidently. I still remember Universe At War. Petroglyph didn't collapse because of it, but they've been chasing lightning since they started out and have never recaptured command and conquer.

     currently mixed on steam. 30$ with endless cash slop planned, dropped race #3 right at launch so the balance is fucked and they're just dominating the ladder right now due to abject retardation of the developers. :blobcatgoogly:

     @icedquinn I'm certainly not fond of its overuse, though it became personal when the Diablo 3 beta first released and it became evident that they wanted to abandon the very strong art direction of 2 in favor of that aesthetic. That said I've never heard of Stormgate and a well made ugly RTS is better than nothing, RTS isn't exactly a star genre these days. I doubt I'll ever play it but they have an uphill battle either way.

     @slash i literally do not understand why devs keep doing this.
     
     every single time a dev skips testing and just midnight launches with some new untested shit it ends poorly

     @icedquinn well that's disappointing.
