Editorial & Fact Verification Policy: Stormforge Guide & Wiki
Our standards for gaming journalism, factual accuracy, source verification, anti-hallucination rules, and handling pre-release Stormforge data.
Table of Contents
Our Source Verification Hierarchy
At StormforgeGuide.wiki, we believe accurate information is the single most valuable service a gaming guide can provide. We adhere to a rigid three-tier source hierarchy:
Official press announcements from Roboto Games, verified Steam store metadata, official press kits (ICO Partners / Stash), and direct gameplay testing within published Steam demo builds (App ID: 2826790).
Public developer interviews, official Discord announcements from verified Roboto Games staff, and patch notes released during closed alpha testing waves.
Empirical community testing (such as damage calculations and wind shear endurance) vetted by multiple independent playtesters before inclusion in our database.
Strict Anti-Hallucination & AI Rules
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for fabricated gaming content:
- No Fabricated Entities: We never generate phantom monsters, fictional crafting recipes, or speculative item drop rates to fill empty tables.
- No Fake Search Manipulation: We refuse to publish thin, circular FAQ articles or doorway pages designed solely to target keywords without delivering genuine information increment.
- Respecting Game Stages: Because Stormforge is scheduled for Early Access on November 10, 2026, unreleased features are strictly documented based on confirmed developer roadmaps, not imagined mechanics.
Labeling Pre-Release Content
To ensure absolute transparency for our readers, every guide and database page displays an explicit verification badge indicating:
Mechanic or item has been directly tested, measured, and verified in the live Steam demo client.
Feature has been officially announced by Roboto Games for the Early Access launch roadmap but is not yet playable in current demo builds.
Correction & Update Protocol
Video game development is an iterative process, especially during pre-release and Early Access periods. If balance values, recipes, or abilities change in an upcoming patch:
Readers can report corrections via our Contact Page. All reports are verified against the latest game client and updated within 24 to 48 hours with a clear revision changelog.
