Posted in Game News | Comments Off on Frost Giant Studios Opens Equity Crowdfunding Round on StartEngine

More than $1.3 million USD in shares have already been reserved

Frost Giant Studios®, the independent developer of the highly anticipated real-time strategy game Stormgate®, today launched its equity crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Frost Giant Studios, founded by former Blizzard Entertainment development leaders, invites community members and investors to join the team on its journey to reinvigorate the real-time strategy genre.

“Frost Giant Studios’ crowd-equity offering on StartEngine enables private investors and passionate players to actually be our business partners, to help launch Stormgate in the best way possible–together,” said Tim Morten, CEO and Production Director of Frost Giant Studios. “The funds we secure will bolster a strategic marketing campaign, setting the stage for Stormgate’s Early Access launch this summer. This initiative invites our supporters to upgrade into shareholders.”

Stormgate is powered by SnowPlay–the studio’s custom-built technology that aims to make it the most responsive and fun-to-play RTS yet. SnowPlay is capable of supporting games with more than a thousand units on a map without sacrificing playability. With a tick rate of 64Hz, Stormgate is three times more responsive than the previous leading RTS games.

Frost Giant is one of a small group of studios pioneering new ground for how games are brought to market. Until recently, most major games were funded by large game publishers who assume creative control over key decisions such as monetization fairness and release timing. Instead, Frost Giant is partnering directly with the community to self-publish Stormgate in the West, empowering the developer to retain creative control over the game.

This initiative offers supporters the opportunity to invest in Frost Giant Studios and directly benefit from the potential success of Stormgate, slated to release to Early Access in Q3 2024. Public investment in Frost Giant Studios through StartEngine is available to accredited and non-accredited investors, with a minimum investment of $494 is required for this Reg CF offering, with a company valuation of $150M.

To invest in Frost Giant Studios, visit the offering page on StartEngine, the crowdfunding platform where everyday people can invest in startups and growth-stage companies. For more on Frost Giant and the latest updates on Stormgate, visit playstormgate.com or join the official Discord.
