Definatly go for RTS Central. I'm optimistic for Stormgate - I think it'll turn out well. But would love to hear your updates on other games... maybe like Beyond All Reaond :)
I think covering multiple RTSes is completely fine. Lots of exciting stuff coming out. That being said, Stormgate still has a chance to recover if the patches are consistent and significantly improve the game's low points. The lack of game modes and content to me are the two main reasons I don't play right now since I have no intentions of playing 1vs1 ladder until I have other PvP modes to play. Unless I get an invite to Mayhem I will likely just try the Chapter 0 changes and Co-op for a bit just wait for the next update again. A lot can change in a year in terms of development time. Many already own a bunch of the content in the game due to the Kickstarter, so if Frost Giant can convince those people to try the game again when it is in a much more polished state when the main criticisms have been addressed, then it will at least have a stable core audience to build upon with better word of mouth. Unless you play 1vs1 there isn't a lot of actual replayability outside of that. Weekly Mutations at least gave me a reason to log in about once a week to try some of the new challenges out. 1vs1 only lives off of the back of the casual audience, so Frost Giant need to start producing good content and new game modes that cater to them if they want the game to start growing. 0.2.0 will likely determine the art direction pretty substantially going forward considering how much it was mentioned in communications and on the roadmap. I at least hope we get to see some more unit/building polish alongside the promised performance improvements. Also, it's good that Mayhem will be under NDA, since that was the biggest mistake they did with the Campaign.
Definitely should rebrand this channel and start covering RTS like Battle Aces and Zero Space, with Stormgate content still coming out if there's interest
I'm glad they went for a very different direction while still keeping most of macro outside of worker production. I kinda hope economy harassment is still relevant, though. It's the one thing that even Battle Aces has kept, and it's the most fun thing about it. I'm also really glad they decided to keep it under NDA for longer. I wish they didn't have to, but apparently the concept of early builds is too hard to grasp for gamers.
Yep, I don't think EA tags matter to a lot of players. However you choose to spin it, people are just going to judge what Frost Giant put out at face value.
I think you can change it to RTS Central. It is a good name and i think you do great content, would love to see stuff like Battle Aces from you. I am still very much rooting for Stormgate, butdo your thing. :-)
It certainly doesn't hurt to support other games. Your presentation is very good and your production quality is high. I'm always looking forward to your videos, and while I hope the best of stormgate, I want to be able to see videos from you wherever Stormgate ends up.
Sounds good, spread out and change the name, it's a good idea. Even though we want to be positive, like you say, numbers don't lie. There is definitely a chance the game doesn't get numbers for 1.0, I honestly thought it would be ok, but we gotta be honest. Battle aces was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to playing again!
I don’t think you should change the channel name/rebrand in general. You have an insanely good branding advantage if/when stormgate becomes popular (which I’m confident that it will, but it will be a journey of years not a hype cycle of weeks). Some of the other RTSs mentioned like battle aces and AoM just don’t resemble StarCraft at all in terms of theme or play style, and I personally won’t be interested. If you want to try them anyways, make a new channel and plug that channel at the end of your videos here (which I’ve been hoping to see more of, especially after the 0.1 SG patch) I think you might have the wrong impression of what people want if you’ve been reading too many of your own comments. Most people don’t have an original opinion and just parrot what they saw other people say, which is why you get disproportionately more “go cast AoM” comments when most other SG casters do not, same with Winter’s comment section being mostly anti-Terran while other StarCraft channels being biased in other ways
Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback, much appreciated! I'll likely stick to the current channel name for the time being, but whilst Frost Giant have their heads down working on the next patch and a new Battle Aces Beta coming soon for example, you might see a bit of content about that in the future. The only issue with making another channel dedicated to other titles is spreading my time too thin. This is already channel number 2 for me, since my 1st channel really didn't fit the RTS niche at all, and sustaining a third would be unrealistic I think!
I’m not super interested in an RTS game being played like a MOBA. I’m sure there are good reasons for it, but it just sounds like a completely different game.
The old saying ''A game for everyone is a game for no one'' comes to mind. That being said though I am looking forward to trying it out and we don't know all the details yet.
Maybe Stormgate went early access/beta a bit too early, but then if they kept it behind closed doors for longer would it end up being a better or worse game in the end? I'm hoping this early/kind of not great beta will be good in the long run. Time will tell Having a strong channel identity is good, maybe consider having a second channel. People that will ONLY be into battle aces won't like all the other RTS videos etc. so even though there is overlap usually when I see channels branch out/go super rogue it can put people off as they only want to cherry pick certain videos
Thanks for taking the time to leave some good advice! I'll likely keep the channel the same for the time being, but will probably dabble in other RTS titles when there's some big news out on them. Main reason I don't want to build another channel is because I'd be spreading my time too thin, this is in fact already my secondary channel you see and I doubt I could sustain a third!
I was looking forwards to straight up 3v3. Was kind of disappointed to hear that it’s this streamlined moba thing or whatever it is. No macro and a core building to destroy/defend with a boss you can send down “lane” to attack the other team might as well be a different game.
well with there being a custom map editor there will be regular team games like you're saying, the devs are just clarifying that this mode is something different.
you are doing really good content and you definitely should branch out to other games! would love to see some battle aces content, because battle aces actually is really amazing game and we need proper update videos. I actually watch your videos to get infos for stormgate mostly.
I like your vids but you should diverse your content because I don't think that SG achieve success. They decide to do many medicore things instead of one but high quality and then switch to build next thing I think that ZeroSpace has much more pottential
Glad to see you not shutting down the Channel after Stormgate is really going nowhere, also glad to hear youll be trying to focus on covering potential new games in the future! (100-20 average players on peak times kekW) Wtf you just done Frostgiant
What are they doing? They should be fixing the game modes they already have, instead they decided to make a copy of League of Legends. They want to create RTS or not?
I recommend you just run different games, but with changing the name I would recommend you to wait. Like right now you really are Stormgate Central, if it moves up you are in perfect spot with this channel. I would recommend you post here other games from time to time and if you like something well enough you want to post more I believe better start another channel and link between them in video description. And in time if Stormgate flops you change this one channel name to RTS central. While you can compare number of views on new channels and RTS you cast that has most viewers you know to focus on. Idk about YT metagame so that's just amateurish take
I second this, you make great content, dont be afraid to try other things. the battle aces beta comes out at the beginning of the month and after the first beta, id say is by far the most exciting upcoming rts
@@justind7151by far till you try Tempest Rising. So removing basebuilding is a good move you Think, removing macro almost is good. Stormgate is better than Battle Acess. Age of empires 4 is alot better than Battle Acess ,and Zerospace is better
@@haakonglindtvad5489 haven't tried tempest rising, I'll check it out. And I agree base building is an integral part of RTS. But I play video games to have fun and aoe 4/stormgate feels like when I was put in time out and stared at the wall as a kid compared to battle aces
You should change the name regardless. No point in tying yourself to the Titanic. I'd say the chance that SG would just die before or after The 1.0 launch is 95%. FGS has proven to be slow, expensive and lacking visions of what players want and what is cool. Not to mention their money problem and i don't see any more suckers coming out of the woods and throwing wallets at them.
If you want to cover other games make a new channel. A channel that does everything is pointless to subscribe to. I can just use the search bar instead.
Changing the channels name is a good idea and covering all RTS is a good idea. You can still cover stormgate and other games

Thanks mate, and me too! Stormgate won't be going anywhere but I wouldn't mind checking out some other titles within our little RTS niche :).
good choice dont think stormgate will exist much longer tbh xDD
It certainly doesn't hurt to support other games. Your presentation is very good and your production quality is high. I'm always looking forward to your videos, and while I hope the best of stormgate, I want to be able to see videos from you wherever Stormgate ends up.
Why not do a second channel? Because i am subscribing this channel for stormgate in particular.
That's a fair point, the main reason is because this is already my 2nd channel 😅
Sounds good, spread out and change the name, it's a good idea. Even though we want to be positive, like you say, numbers don't lie.

RTS sounds good, I enjoy your videos 😊 make more and more RTS games

im gonna miss workers in 3v3 I think. I was a little more excited about it before. we'll see
I’m not super interested in an RTS game being played like a MOBA. I’m sure there are good reasons for it, but it just sounds like a completely different game.
Thats why it will be a completly different mode without impact on the other modes i guess?
@@SvenStyle15 there will be impact they funds arent infinite and rest of their game begging for some love

Covering modern RTS is hardly "everything". It would be a niche within a niche within a niche even if ZS and BA content starts being released.
