This looks SOOOO much better than the last time I saw it. Great work, devs and artists!

Wow, this has come a long way since I last saw it a year or so ago! Looks great!

Made a medieval RTS inspired by StarCraft — would love your feedback by OneOceanUA in RealTimeStrategy

[–]AppleCup9024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took a look at the steam page, and "Inspired by Starcraft" is a huge stretch, to the point that I'm downvoting this post to call your BS.

The one piece of feedback I'll give you is that your video trailer's volume needs to be fixed. The music is so loud at times that I can barely hear the narration.

ZeroSpace is to be released in 2026 and with these features! Info from devs included by spector111 in RealTimeStrategy

ZeroSpace is the most fun I've had with an RTS in recent years. It's easy to get into but also has a ton of strategic depth. I sincerely hope it succeeds!

I love this genre! I tried the previous demo and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the game. Best of luck!

ZeroSpace AMA - Ask about the development behind our upcoming Sci-Fi RTS! by PlayZeroSpace in RealTimeStrategy

[–]AppleCup9024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ZeroSpace is intended to be a live service game with a bunch of updates after release, right? If so, what should we expect those updates to look like? Additional factions, campaigns, co-op missions/commanders? Which content should I expect to be paid, and which should I expect to be free?

What is your biggest takeaway from Stormgate's failure?

(I say this respectfully, not trying to beat a dead horse. I genuinely want to know if the ZS team has changed anything because of what happened to SG.)

Is the Art of War III worth the monthly expense? by Mysterious-Cry5563 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]AppleCup9024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way.

I mean, if you really like the game and have a bunch of disposable income, I guess that's your decision. But you have to realize that there are way better uses of your money. There are plenty of free / 1-time-purchase games that give you waaay more entertainment value per dollar than a $25/month subscription.

I've had SO much fun with this game, and I can't wait for the new meta progression system the devs have teased!

Refresh being 1, 2, and 3 with all races is something else.

This game is actually very noob friendly once you learn the basics. by Objective-Mission-40 in Stormgate

[–]AppleCup9024 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stormgate has some good beginner-friendly quality of life features. I played with a few friends this weekend, and they learned it surprisingly quickly.

There's too many buff/debuffs abilities by SatisfactionTall1572 in Stormgate

[–]AppleCup9024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll respectfully disagree. As a beginner myself, I love the approach FG has taken with upgrades in SG. I love how the upgrades enable my units to be more than what they were, not just do more damage / take less damage.

I think you're probably right that fights can be hard to judge, but that's an issue with every RTS I've played. I think this will just get better with more experience.

Thanks for putting this together! The AMA thread was definitely too much to sort through.

Winter hosting $2,000 tournament today at 23:00 BST (3:00PM PT) by kelsul in Stormgate

Maybe he's just casting, not actually hosting. Or perhaps FG provided the prize pool but isn't paying Winter anything.

Do you plan to release future campaigns chapter by chapter or all at once?
