Consider backing ZeroSpace on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/starlancestudios/zerospace
No two games of ZeroSpace play the same, thanks to nearly limitless combinations of Factions, Mercenary units and Heroes, introducing unparalleled strategic depth and player expression to the genre. The game’s single player campaign puts player choices at the center, with hours of interactive cinematics, and narrative design inspiration from epic sci-fi RPGs like Mass Effect.
“I grew up having my mind blown by RTSs like Starcraft, and that inspiration brought me to the games industry,” said Marvin Gouw, founder and CEO of Starlance Studios. “But I haven’t yet had the chance to build my dream game: an RTS truly worthy of pro players and newcomers to the genre alike. That’s what we hope ZeroSpace will be, and we’re so thankful to you for considering supporting the return of the RTS on Kickstarter.”
The ZeroSpace development team includes several prominent pro players, commentators, and leading voices in the RTS community. Their insight and experience has shaped an RTS that any gamer can approach and enjoy thanks to clever and intuitive interface design, while still giving hardcore RTS competitors a limitless ladder of skill expression to master.
“I was already excited the first time I got to play ZeroSpace at how good it already felt, and it's been improving quickly ever since,” said Sasha “Scarlett” Hostyn, lead balance designer at Starlance Games, and the first woman to win a major StarCraft II tournament. “Since joining the team I can see it's because everyone is passionate about RTS and have a no compromises approach to making the best game possible. Can't wait until everyone gets to play it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”
“I go to bed thinking about this game, I usually dream about this game, and I wake up still thinking about this game,” said Paulo “CatZ” Vizcarra, lead versus designer at Starlance Games, StarCraft II commentator, and former pro player. “Working on ZeroSpace makes me feel driven in a way I haven’t since my earliest days as a pro StarCraft II player, when there was still a lot of experimentation and creative problem solving. This team is working so hard to make the best RTS for the community, and we’d love for you to join us in making that dream possible.”
“I’m so optimistic about ZeroSpace’s potential mostly because of its unparalleled level of player agency and customization,” said Grant Purtle, lead campaign designer at Starlance Games, and creator of the GiantGrantGames YouTube channel. “Historically, RTSs have constrained players to a set of rigid tools the developer has constructed, but ZeroSpace's mix-and-match system for Factions, Mercenaries and Heroes brings near limitless levels of player expression and personalization.”
