Play the Wargames Demo now! + Developer Updates

Hello, Commanders! We have a playtest and some development updates for you!

[h2]ZeroSpace is at Steam’s Wargames Festival![/h2]
Our public demo is available now through May 5th! We'd love for you to join in and share your gameplay footage during the event!

Join the dev team and fellow RTS fans in our Discord to share feedback, report bugs, or just hang out while the festival is live



[h2]Map Updates[/h2]
We’ve made tons of map updates—including improved lighting, refreshed colors, new foliage, and enhanced terrain painting!

[h2]IronShield - New Co-op Map[/h2]


[h2]Echis Point - 2v2[/h2]


[h2]Ascension - 1v1[/h2]


[h2]Fractured Oasis - 2v2[/h2]


[h2]Canyon - 1v1[/h2]


[h2]Frogs[/h2]
Tenebris now has cute, leaping critters!

[h2]Protectorate Dropship - New Campaign Unit[/h2]
The Protectorate has gained a new air unit! Use this Dropship to bring units in and out of battles.


[h2]Legion Buildings[/h2]
The Legion have been working on some new constructions! Looks like their Bestiary and Citadel have had some visual updates.


[h2]Endari - Coop & Campaign Enemy[/h2]
When Arandi creatures become corrupted, they turn into monstrous creatures called the Endari... Here’s a look at one of their most recent transformations:


[h2]Multiplayer[/h2]
We’ve made a few updates to improve the feel of multiplayer matches. The Legion now has a new top bar ability, some unit matchups have been adjusted to create clearer strengths and weaknesses, and we’ve added more variation in move speeds to help units feel more distinct!

[h2]Campaign[/h2]
While our campaign won’t be available during Wargames Fest, we’ve been hard at work building out new missions & cinematics, refining the story, and creating new cinematic models!

Upcoming Playtests and Development Updates

Commanders, we hope you had a great time over the holidays! We have two upcoming playtests, a closed Backer Test and a Free Demo during Steam’s RTS Festival!

[h2]Backer Playtest: January 10 - 16[/h2]
This will be a closed playtest, available to backers that supported ZeroSpace at the Solar Monarch tier or higher. This playtest will feature the latest updates, and while streaming won’t be permitted during this period, we’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!

[h2]Free Demo: January 20 - 27[/h2]
This weeklong demo will be available to everyone during Steam’s RTS Fest! We welcome streaming and sharing gameplay footage during this time!

As you dive into the playtests, we’d love to hear from you! Join us on Discord to share your feedback, report any bugs, and suggest ideas.

Don’t have early access yet? Consider supporting us on Backerkit! A pledge level of Solar Monarch or higher gets you instant access to the playtests, and the full game on release: https://bit.ly/ZeroSpaceBackerKit

[h2]New Legion Unit[/h2]
Kraegar now has a pet! After Mondar and Torq we decided that 2 Heroes-in-one is an interesting, working concept. As expert hunters, they can clear and capture XP towers significantly faster than most other heroes, offering players a strong early game.

Kraegar's pet also has avenues to scale into later portions of the game via synergies with other legion Beasts like the Exalted Rider and an additional new beast which will be shown during this upcoming playtest!



[h2]Map Updates[/h2]
For better stylization and visual clarity, we’ve updated the grass across a few maps - check out the difference on the map Tenebris!





[h2]In-Game Model Updates[/h2]
The Protectorate, Marran, and Dread Raider’s in-game models have been refreshed with new textures!

[h2]Campaign Progress[/h2]

We’ve been working on new campaign missions and cinematics!
