Starlance Studios |

SAN MATEO, Calif. - September 15, 2023 - Starlance Studios today announced that the Kickstarter campaign for their next-gen RTS, ZeroSpace, has smashed through its original fundraising goal, receiving over $400,000 in support from the community (over 400% funded), with three days remaining. A cinematic RTS with an epic sci-fi story where your decisions determine the fate of the galaxy, ZeroSpace is built by a team of developers that includes legendary StarCraft pros.

Since announcing the game and its Kickstarter campaign, Starlance has shared a tremendous amount of detail about the title, including live-streamed show matches and deep gameplay videos from independent creators like Winter. Today, the studio will reveal ZeroSpace’s fourth faction: the Legion, in a video from the game’s design consultant, GiantGrantGames: https://www.youtube.com/c/GiantGrantGames


“When we decided to open our project up to support from the community via Kickstarter, we were hopeful we’d find players who believed in our vision for ZeroSpace — but the reception has absolutely blown us away,” said Marvin Gouw, founder and CEO of Starlance Studios. “Your support wind in our sails, and we are more energized than ever to deliver a truly next-gen experience that’s worthy of your energy and passion. Thank you.”

 
ZeroSpace is the latest real-time strategy project to gain traction with gamers, joining other high-profile projects like Stormgate from ex-Blizzard devs Frost Giant, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin from Frontier Developments. The genre, long pegged by publishers and investors as niche, is in the midst of a renaissance.

 
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.

 
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.
