It Took Me 6 Hours to Learn Anything in Stormgate - Day9TV (Professional Review) (www.youtube.com)

I wanted to share and highlight this video for others to see. This is such a thorough and amazing resource for the dev team at Frost Giant (the makers of Stormgate) that I hope they have seen. The breakdown and walk-through of the different elements of the game was such an amazing thing to watch.

I found myself sitting there watching for hours, this is exactly what game companies need in terms of experienced game tester leads that can articulate and explain everything going on in the game from the perspective of an average player. I think if every game company had someone of this caliber, to sit down with them and go over the basic mechanics of the games, we would all be a lot better off. I felt like I was sitting in on a company meeting while an outside contractor was going over his notes with the developers and trying to understand their vision while giving his unique and experienced position.

I'm definitely more excited about the game than I was previously after watching this video (as confusing as that might seem). It shows a clear path of how to fix and enhance the gameplay which has a chance to come into fruition with the game still in the testing phase.

I didn’t know this channel but it is to slow. What he says may be interesting but there is no need to explain it 6-7 times (even more maybe). I watched 30 minutes something that could have been said and showed in 5. I can’t watch the full video.

You guys are blowing my mind. I had always heard of Day9 back in the day (all into the rts sceme) but didn't really follow him and probably partially why it was great to run into that video.

I did not know he was tasteless's brother (seem him broadcasting before) and his mother works with FG and he's younger than me (kinda really shocking on that one, his picture from just 10 years ago makes me think covid hit him hard lol).

I totally understand and why I presented it as a company meeting lol. I unfortunately have been in one where things are explained over and over because the individuals on a team just aren't grasping the concept and keep giving push-back. I also listened to it while laying down to sleep so it was a great lullaby.
