Retired Union operative Sergeant Joshua Gant is called back to duty by General Allance Wilkins, who informs him of a human genome-based biological weapon developed by the Scorp that could jeopardize humanity's security if brought to fruition. The story takes place on the distant planet of Ruhelen, where the four factions of the Union Alliance, the Darken Republic, the Bendian Mercenaries and the Scorp Empire are constantly at odds with one another. Released in 1997, G-Nome was 7th Level's first 3D product that has arisen as a fan favorite amongst the cult community. Since then, the intellectual property of G-Nome remained with the collaborators from the now-defunct 7th Level, as Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3's publisher, Eidos, did not acquire the rights to the content from the first game. The game was released on the day that the highly-anticipated StarCraft beta began and eventually became one of the greatest financial failures in the history of video games. Early impressions to the game were mediocre and considered not on level to archaic games like Warcraft II. This ultimately set the stage for the fall of not only G-Nome as a coherent franchise, but of 7th Level and Ion Storm.ĭominion: Storm Over Gift 3 proved to come at great cost to Ion Storm, with the budget and production time being multiplied tenfold.
When Porter did leave the studio, he brought the half-completed RTS spin-off, Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3 to Ion Storm, Inc. Midway through G-Nome's development, the game's producer, Todd Porter, had been actively entertaining the idea of leaving 7th Level to team up with John Romero and Tom Hall. The original release, G-Nome, has become one of the most-celebrated cult classics video games, signifying a flawed, yet substantial gameplay that has led many hopeful fans to wish for a continuation of the franchise. Developed by 7th Level, Inc., the G-Nome franchise had, from a media perspective, a history of being overshadowed by more mainstreamed games, such as MechWarrior and StarCraft.
