ZeroSpace HUGE Update (New Game modes, Visual upgrades and more)

[@Harstem]

You can play the test phase this weekend by going to store.steampowered.com/app/1605850/ZeroSpace/#game_area_purchase . The Co-op map I played was called " Advance map", it is my favourite out of the three currently available ones. (Blockade map was fine, hillside map was a bit meh imo). I p

I have a complaint regarding the shooting projectiles looking all same for different units. The rifles and Atlas mech unit shoot the same projectiles. It makes the fights less enjoyable to watch and messy. Makes you feel like watching C&C RTS game. Can we not have diff projectiles? at least some little variation because they certainly are shooting from diff weapons. Thanks

[@demetriousramirez]

They just redid the difficulty on the co-op missions, they're a lot more fun now, especially hillside

[@onyxthedark]

Getting a reward in the match itself for side objective was one of the first thing Grant told his mod makers to do for Nightmare, so really glad to see it here too.

[@vonriel1822]

They also have the unified command card that he's constantly praising when it shows up in mods, which is cool. If you told me at least some of the devs in this were active in the SC2 modding scene, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

[@onyxthedark]

@@vonriel1822 I know they hired him as consultant so he probably was paid to directly give them some of his ideas

[@JacksonSeiter]

Dang, this game actually looks really cool! I have mainly played StarCraft my whole life, and not a ton of other games, but this is certainly one that I am going to have to try. Thanks for making a video about it!

[@unrighteous8745]

This is the RTS with the most potential IMO, really looking forward to the future of this game.

[@emmapedersen4012]

until you try Tempest Rising

[@ToeMass123]

👍👍👍

[@anarchosnowflakist786]

currently I have only seen it and stormgate and you can't even compare the two, this one is an actual game whereas stormgate looks like a meh sc2 mod

[@pablovirus]

It looks so much better than before, holy cow.

[@wedgeantilles8575]

As a (small) backer of ZeroSpace, I am excited that you cover the game as well!

[@wedgeantilles8575]

05:00 - a "bit" easier? For a clunk like me that is a HUGE deal. It will surprise you how hard tabbing is for people like me - my control falls apart so fast, it's not funny. When there are 2 units in a group, ok. But when there are 4? It's over, I don't even try. When I cast all controls at the same time (like with Tycus in Coop!), it's very easy to use several spells. For me, this change is not a bit - it's the difference between: "I'll be able to use the abilites" and "I won't use the abilites at all"

[@anarchosnowflakist786]

yeah I can never do it right personally, I just need to put my units in different control groups

[@lordcola-3324]

Damn, ZeroSpace continues to outshine Stormgate at every occation.

[@icewind-g4m]

Nah ZeroSpace may be more polished but its barely a full rts game, considering you have almost zero eco management and macro is dumbed down significantly. Its closer to moba than to rts.

[@Liam.Lacoste]

@@icewind-g4m So... WC3?

[@CognitoTanKhaiiHuitkh9917]

@@icewind-g4m I wonder how PvP is going to work when there is almost no macromanagement.

[@leonardlydell]

and stormgate is just stupified shitty sc2 as opposed to zerospace trying to do something

[@icewind-g4m]

@@Liam.Lacoste WC3 has much more macro. You actually have decent number of workers, you need to manage how to collect resources, you have shop stuff, thats off the top of my head.

[@qsfff5099]

That looks like a mix of C&C and starcraft and new features, probably very fun

[@dprizzeh]

Yes! Finally more ZeroSpace content!

[@fabian4980]

It's maybe time for some PvP content

[@unrighteous8745]

14:27 The guy that isn't interested in incomplete games played ZeroSpace for 10+ hours a day for 2 weeks straight... Alright, this game might have even more potential than I thought lol.

[@Sunjammer13]

Thank you Harstem! Just thought that it would be great to see updated ZeroSpace! Hope to see 1v1 also and learn more about races!

[@xardiodrack1798]

ZeroSpace look like its gonna be a pretty good game the most promising out of the 3 new big rts imo

[@Raizan-IO]

3? I see only 1 and it is ZeroSpace. If you meant blown out in budget there is Stormgate, and the other good ones are released already like Frostpunk and Age of mythology... what was the name of that other really great one... Total commander or something? The one that has 2 factions, and uses energy, metal and build time as resources?

[@qsfff5099]

There is more than 3 promising rts in development now, but which one are actually going to be good we dont know yet. I personally wait for ZeroSpace, Sanctuary and Tempest Rising

[@ZverseZ]

@Raizan-IO There's also Tempest Rising and Battle Aces

[@vinceb8123]

​@@Raizan-IO beyond all reason? It's the best total annihilation-like, the controls and QOL are out of this world, you won't want to play any other rts after it. The 3rd faction is also nearly finished

[@qsfff5099]

@@vinceb8123 It is definetly not best, it is good remake of total annihilation, but not for every rts enjoyer

[@CosmoTheCosmicCat]

Those upgrades aren’t fully exclusive, just the ones to the left and right of each other. There’s just a bit of a UI bug right now so you couldn’t tell that you were already researching the upgrade

[@demetriousramirez]

Huge fan of zerospace, glad to see it on your channel again

[@monopoliz___2856]

i used to play a very basic galaxy war game on an ancient mac. there was 50 star systems and it was probably impossible to win but I really loved it.

[@eskurian8565]

It's looking pretty sick! The interface is also very minimalist and easy to read at the same time: love it! My main gripe up til now was the look of the maps, but this seems much, much better. I'm so happy they have some original factions like the Grell, unlike some other games *cough* Stormgate *cough*. Really hoping for a good campaign!

[@heyblackduck]

Looks really cool, glad to see all these new RTS games are coming out!

[@Soap7228]

I am loving the game so far!

[@Raidenze]

The galactic war map is hyper GPU intensive for what it is. Everything else seems fine.

[@monopoliz___2856]

some mechanics I used when I recreated a galactic war type game myself was having 2 types of fuel one for short range and one long range space travel. I used xenon and argon. I also had a rare resource I called plasma that was used in capital ships and deathstars.

[@shadesinsertlastname1631]

LETS GOOO a few weeks ago i was wondering about Zero Space since it felt like it appeared and then disappeared without a trace info wise on yt

[@lokitabletennis]

Looks better than Stormgate. Reminds me of C&C series. Good style. StarCraft genes, smoothness. A lot of effort put.

[@fabian4980]

I really like vibe of all 3 main factions in Zerospace, I know that there are serious plans to add one more main faction.

[@Alex-jv6ye]

I’ll admit, when I first heard about this game, I was concerned it was going to fail just because all the other “great” RTSes coming out just before this one, but with how bad Stormgate is right now, and how stupid Battle Aces is, this actually looks like a potential SC2 replacement. Keep up the great work!

[@mEtil5656]

Galactic war looks kinda like master of orion. Really cool idea

[@reubenfrench6288]

Hey! I just took that planet for the Obsidian Order last night! How dare you undo my progress!

[@conkrast3685]

more please!

[@cloudultimaweapn1813]

I have been playing galactic war as well super hyped! I was a co op player on sc2 until i maxed out, this looks like it will be a lot more fun then stormgate, i cant wait till the full release!

[@RandomB13]

I wonder when RTSs will start animating jumps properly and not simply moving static models in the air XD

[@nobelhyperion6013]

I thought you where Playing steralis on the thumbnail

[@monopoliz___2856]

hell yeah 4x galaxy mode as I asked for thx homies

[@benji6871]

I literally heard about this game for the first time a few hours earlier today :0 (first btw I think)

[@8gr8pes]

In galactic war I can only play 2 races I think (by selecting vyntrhra or mera hero). Is there not a commander to play the third race? or the other race is versus/survival only at the moment?

[@mattcat83]

That boss knight dude reminded me a bit too much of those mobile game ads on Facebook, where you control a small team of shooting dudes auto-running while gunning down hordes of zombies before the one big guy comes along to squash your guys if you picked the wrong powerups.

[@EMDRONES]

ZeroSpace Wins ❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@elarisgg]

ZeroSpace>Stormgate. I backed both and want them both to succeed but Stormgate feels like an insult.

[@DanielBlack888]

Purely based on visuals, this certainly looks more attractive than Stormgate. SG, esp the humans, just look like plastic toys. Unit recognition doesn't seem that bad either. Nice. Despite being a huge fan of C&C the visuals of Tempest Rising don't do it for me either. On a bigger scale strategies, Beyond All Reason and (hopefully upcoming) Sanctuary Shattered Sun do look fun. And somehow despite the scale BAR makes unit recognition quite easy. Simple unit design + consistent unit design language I suppose.

[@tarvoc746]

Is it just me or do the projectiles / attack animations look the same for most of the different units?

[@ma3dhr0s44]

How long is the play test for?

[@smedleycheswith1272]

3 days afaik

[@user-wb8iu1hl6i]

The way the units move and shoot actually looks decent, way better than Stormgate's glacial ttk

[@ozthebeeman]

this game looks a bit too similar too sc2 but except for that it looks insanely promising

[@Iaotle]

I liked the older artstyle better...

[@mrpotato8985]

Harstem do 1v1!

[@Onlyon2]

Stormgate was such a pile of shit. Glad there is something else out there

[@Ace-r2b]

Finally zerospace stream, stormgate is sooo boaring to watch

1080p, not in 2025, bye

[@potenviking]

The design of a unit constantly shooting is very bad microwise. Idk why ZeroSpace has so many of those.
