• Patch Notes - Steam Next Fest 2025 - 11 June 2025

  HighlightsNew Aru Immortal: Atzlan, Prophet of the RootsBots: Play against and with bots in 1v1, 2v2, and PvE modesCanyon (Mission): Procedurally generated PvEBuild Grid: For a more satsifying base building experienceNEWAtzlan - Prophet of the RootsOur First Permanent Hero ImmortalWhen we first set out to make Immortal, the question was raised whether Immortals would be Heroes on the battlefield like Warcraft 3 or Commanders like Starcraft 2 Co-op. To which we replied, why not both? This was eventually refined into 3 distinct Immortal categories. With the release of Atzlan, we now have representation from each category. Ajari, Orzum, and Mala are Commanders; Xol is a Temporary Hero; and Atzlan is a Permanent Hero. As the name suggests, Atzlan is a permanent fixture on the battlefield. You'll start with him in your base, and he'll only disappear when "killed". However, since he is immort…

• Angels and Prophecies: Design Lessons from Q'rath - 18 April 2025

  Introduction: Hello, dear community! Dylan “ItWhoSpeaks” Kahn here. While we wait for our summer playtest, I wanted to give you some insight regarding our first faction: Q'rath, the Angelic Empire. This article is a bit of a retrospective, in which we often perform post-mortem covering what we did well and where we made mistakes, with Q’rath being a poignant reflection of what we learned in our modding days. This is an expansive topic, so I feel it's important that we start at the beginning. Part 1: Solving Design Challenges & The Vanguard Prototype As some of you know, we got our start as modders in the StarCraft II community, beginning around the late “Wings of Liberty” era in the year leading up to Heart of the Swarm's beta phase. If you played during that time, you will remember that SCII was a very different experience with very conservative strategies. This was due to the high-let…

• Ballots and Bullets: Building the Iron Republic - 14 March 2025

  “Glory, Glory unto Jora, Earned by the blood of the fearless, Glory, Glory unto Jora, May their dreams march ever on!” -National Anthem of the United Republics of Jora, Excerpt Introduction: Greetings community, Dylan “ItWhoSpeaks” Kahn here. It is with great pleasure that we share our first look at what we have been cooking. Consider this our “Jora Faction Preview” complete with mechanics and (some) units! Before we get into it, I want to answer a long-standing question community members (and a few media folks) have asked over the last two years. Since the beginning of 2025, we have pledged to be more open about our development process. Consider us making good on that promise. (Feel free to scroll down to the mechanics and units if this isn't of interest to you.) Where is Jora and why is it taking so long? Many of you have been with us over this long journey to make real this game and…

• Masks and Amber: A Developer Blog - 15 February 2025

  Greetings, dear friends! Welcome to our first Developer Blog of 2025. It's been a hot minute since we last talked about the design decisions that go into Gates of Pyre, so we are taking this opportunity between playtests to give you an update on our fifth (and sixth) immortals. Before we do so, I should probably go over the Immortal system, its history, and why we believe it can make a significant contribution to the RTS genre. Let's get into it. The History As many of you know, SunSpear originated in the StarCraft II modding scene. Taking the lessons we had learned from StarBow, the Community PTR mod: OneGoal, and TheCore, we set about trying to build a game that combined the strengths of real-time strategy with the advantages of the rising MOBA genre. All of us had played DOTA and LoL extensively and in those games, we saw many lessons that could be applied to RTS. Specifically, MOBAs…
