Almost a year after launch, Frost Giant’s StarCraft wannabe has finally added the feature it’s named after: ‘We called the game Stormgate, yet we didn’t actually have any stormgates’

Stormgate faced skepticism upon launch due to its aesthetics, narrative, and gameplay mechanics, which some players felt lacked polish. The game had limited single-player missions and a push for additional purchases. Developer Frost Giant has since overhauled the campaign, introducing a new feature called Stormgates, which are dimensional rifts on 1v1 maps that provide randomized rewards affecting gameplay dynamics. Examples of rewards include the Soulforge Relic, Sky Hunters, Void Prowlers, Swarm Mother, and Stormcaller Relic. These elements significantly impact match strategy, prompting players to adapt their tactics. Frost Giant is replacing traditional creep camps with Stormgates based on community feedback, and while creep camps have been removed from three ladder maps, they remain in other custom settings. The Stormgates are now integrated into 1v1 gameplay, with plans for expansion into other modes.

How Microsoft’s Windows 95 test nearly crashed an entire software store

Microsoft's transition from Windows 3.x to Windows 95 involved a unique compatibility testing strategy where the development manager purchased one copy of every available software program from a local store. The software was then tested by the Windows 95 development team in a makeshift marketplace set up in the cafeteria. Each team member had to install and run two programs, reporting any issues encountered. The cash register at the store struggled with the large total of the order, crashing when it exceeded ,000, leading the store owner to split the transaction into smaller amounts. One developer, Raymond Chen, tested a German-English automatic translator, which performed poorly in translation.
