Hey guys, this is the final ZeroSpace kickstarter video! There are only 3 days left: www.kickstarter.com/projects/starlancestudios/zerospace

Surely these must be the main good guys in the story.

Such a truly beneficent and kind empire! The Legion shall have our loyalty forever (probably because the Inquisitress will find us and give us happy new life as a Thrall if we don't offer eternal gratitude and loyalty)

"My Legion, right or wrong" "If you can't leave it, LOVE IT"

It's a good thing that the thralls are basically attack-move units you don't need to care about while you micro a handful of unique units. Also, loved the tongue-in-cheek explanation^^

The Legion even provides healthcare for its citizens! Here is a healing aura to spruce them up after a fight. Also in the last few seconds of the reveal: thralls sacrificed 60 and rising. Awesome looking reveal! Really excited to potentially see more of this.

Are you telling me I can set up a giant impenetrable fortress, send out endless waves of minions, AND build big smashy things ALL at the same time!

I can't wait for Catz to do a Proxy Terror Tank build.

This is a really cool faction. It feels like a mix of Mordor from BFME and Empire from RA3.

C&C's MARV, SC2's Taldarim, WH40K's Imperial Guard ... I love seeing all the inspiration from other RTS series at work here! Also Grant's tongue-in-cheek descriptions made me laugh.

The gameplay reminds me of Mengsk in SC2 Co-Op, and the lore reminds me of Warhammer 40k's human empire. This is cool. I like this.

The thrall talk at 1:50 made me actually chuckle at the disconnect between the words and the 'selfless healing' offered to the thralls.

What a good faction, even the basic unit of this faction is given the name of the greatest orc warchief to honor their dedication to the legion. They even sacrifice themselves to make sure their leader alive. What a chad faction

The models\texturesanimations still look like they're a very early iteration, but thats some incredibly good looking movement and map geometry. Looks like its coming along well.

I love how well designed this faction is. I like that you went with specific inspirations, picked a theme, and stuck with it. I see elements from C&C's Brotherhood of Nod, 40K Space Marines, BFME Mordor and the Tal'darim from LotV, but they're not just a riff of of any one of them. They're not just "the subversive/hit-and-run faction" or "The numbers faction" or "the expensive but powerful unit faction". All of the factions have specific themes that they fit, rather. That makes for much more interesting and diverse factions. Glad to see the Terror Tank being a unit that's built on the battlefield - not unlike that alpha SC2 Thor!

I knew that no video in the morning means another faction reveal. So, let's watch!

Im getting Warhammer 40k vibes from these guys.

Every video I see gets me more excited for this game. It's the everything I've been wanting since Startcraft 2 came out. I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait so long!!!

Adeptus Mechanicus and Protoss Tal'Darim mixed together great.😊 PS I just imagined a battle between them.

game: 'thralls sacrificed: 67' grant: 'refuses to elaborate'

After watching GGG for literal years, I can smell his creative influence aaaaall over the terror tank XD

The terror tank reminds me of the MARV from Kane’s wrath. Along with the 4 pods that were customized by the units who went into the tank

450k has just been reached! Let us keep the support coming :)

This feels really Brotherhood of Nod in a way? And I love it. I’m soooo here for it.

hm, as i'm watching i already can put on the table that it is quite a promising faction indeed, only thing that bothers me a bit is the terror tank's beeing so... compact, i'm no designer and i of course know most of this stuff is beeing worked on, but the tracks i think should be more protruding towards the edges to make it less box shaped (think at a rectangle seen from above with smaller rectangles that have each their centers exactly on the 4 angles, kinda like the mammoth tank forom c&c)

"They have no upgrades or abilities, but are very cheap to produce" I think I drooled a little. Ave, true to Caesar.

Love the terror tank. Finally got a thor that can be built in the field. :D

very 40k i like it. even the turret sponsons on the banebla- Terrortank

ayooo they got that OG thor building concept into the game!

I love everything about this game. The concepts are amazing and the emphasis on customization is commendable. However, the models are so intricate for their size that I can't see anything.

Terror Tank: When the Mammoth Tank does a fusion dance with the Mechapede.

Instantly love the Terror Tank!

Reminds me of the Mengsk Coop Commander mixed with Alarak.

I won't be able to pay for the Kickstarter but am so excited for this game!!!

okay the look cool.I ahve no idea why I got cyborg roman vibes, but like... something about them gives me a more militarist, knighty elite soldier vibe from their design. They look so shiny. :D

The legion seem like they offer lots of good benefits to join. I was wondering how much holiday time is allowed?

If you guys are taking suggestions maybe give the front line melee units more of a sword and board feel, more like Roman legionnaires, with large shields and oversized power swords?

Suggestion: an 'idle' animation for the melee soldiers, where they yawn and stretch their big scissors. (Only when the hero isn't watching, obviously - stretching is wasting energy)

Woah... found my main when this game launches

Game is unimpressive visually atm. But it is REALLY impressive in terms of game design. I am totally looking forward to play it, even if graphics won't change at all. But if they would... Oh God, that's some hot game right there xD

wake up honey new flame tank just dropped

The Terror Tank reminds me of the Hierarchy from Universe At War RTS

That Terror Tank looks unreal!

0:10 "Ideas are all in flux". I saw what you did there

The faction seems like it has an incredibly low skill floor and being the hardest faction to use but could be the strongest race when mastered… or require too much skill investment for little reward. Definitely interested to see the moba heroes + custom tank faction in action

when I saw the harvester thrall the only thing I could think of was: From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Apparently you can also conjure up the emperor by sacrificing thralls!!

Ah yea, the immediate - Are they the bad guys or just cool guys to throw us off? But then I heard the unit name "Thralls"

i like the concept, especially the multiturret tank (kinda like a 40k predator), but aesthetically speaking i find that tank extremely dull, it's like a moving rectangle with guns instead of something immediately recognazible as a mobile fortress/mbt, just my two cents btw

this reminds of the Terran showcase of Starcraft 2 Beta. I can't wait for this game to be released

You're telling me I can build multiple MARVs?! At the same time!?!

So, this is a "What if we turn Imperial Guard into Chaos, and then mix them with Dark Eldar" faction. Looks pretty cool. Hard to balance, I would say, but still.

I love the inspiration from the tal darim here, I feel like its that with a slight dash of warhammer 40k which is REALLY cool. I honestly cannot wait until this game hits open beta. I think zerospace and stormgate both are going to give the genre the jolt it needed. keep up the amazing work!

I can't imagine where "build this beast of a vehicle in the field... plus it can be rebuilt...." (hello OG thor concept). I'm sure Grant was super excited to add it somewhere from when he made the videos on the sc2 alpha footage

So the terror tank is the Xanthos that you can build. I love it.

Yuri mechanics (red alert 2) + Strogg cyborgs (quake 4) + Imperium Servitors (40k). Incredible design direction. The thralls being cheap + having no upgrades is an interesting take. Though long term, it might feel bland for them never having any upgrades to spice up their game play for the mid or late game? My immediate thought was an idea from 20 years ago when i played yuris revenge as a kid. Turning the Grinder into an Upgrade Center for the faction. Initiates would gain more HP when you sacrificed Brutes. Engineers would gain movement speed when you sacrificed Initiates. Brutes would gain resistance to more damage types when you sacrificed Engineers, ontop of gaining the ability to swim and attack ships at maximum level. Each unit has a "pool" and each pool has a cap. Each unit providing more to their pools in relation to how much the unit costs, providing more or less towards unlocking the upgrade. Once the pool is maxed out the unit gets the upgrade. I doubt anyone's looking through youtube comments for feedback, but im just excited. Cant wait to play all these new factions. Its so refreshing to finally see a dev team make an RTS that actually takes advantage of modern software to fill their game with factions to play.

I wonder which unit Grant helped make...? [Stares at Nova Covert Ops]

WOW really cool faction! seems like a mix of co-op commander menks and Thycus from how it is shown here ! really impatient for all of it to come out!

9 out of 10 thralls recommend healing auras

A few elite commanders with good equipment, and an army of disposable suicide thralls. So this is basically a Wagner Group in Bakhmut, circa February simulator.

somehow this faction reminds me a LOT of the mengsk commander from star craft 2 coop and i am loving it

Mega tanks and cheap spam infantry... Now that's my kind of faction 😎👍

this looks great Im looking forward to it

I like the ideas you are eager to impliment

Interesting mechanics, but I think the art and animations are a bit silly, it seems to be this dark empire but they kinda give off power ranger vibes. Ditching the capes would probably be a good step in revising the art.

we not gonna talk about how to make a healing aura he just executes a soldier xD

awesome job grant

I cant wait to build my Leman Russ battle tank's in the name of the legion :)

Sounds like an interesting faction!

Looking forward to it.

The faction looks interesting, but, no matter how hard I try to be interested in this game, I feel that, like so many post 2000 RTS, it looks and feel weightless, or impactless? Melee units dash through other units and nothing happens, big tanks fire at a small unit and the later only lose some HP, big fireballs are thrown around and nothing happens except for a HP bar slowly depleting... Where's the omph? Total Annihilation, back in 1997, had missiles and guns exploding units, debris flying all over the place, nuclear explosions that'd shook your screen. I know it's a preview, so I hope they can seriously improve on this before release.

have a wonderful rest of your day as well

The Legion seems to have the oppressive air of the Imperium, and SOME of the aesthetics, but not requiring any of the English Gothic aesthetic that I've gotten REALLY tired of. They also don't need to copy the uniforms or vehicles from the early 20th century.

Seems really cool.

what a cool nation where everyone is treated well and equall surely it must be a great place to live in

"service guarantees MORE service"

Hey! Are you guys affected by the Unity kerfluffle? I got really worried for a bunch of games after what unity did, and with so much work already done, I feel it would sting extra hard if unity did something and the game got delayed.

Love how KZfaq just assumed that this was SC1

Finally some lawful good faction, for the emperor!

-The legion love their citizens 67 thralls casualy being sacrificed in the end

This Is some mechanicus shit and i love it

I'm doing my part!

Mom Can WE get a Warhammer 40k Faction Imperium army? Mom: WE already have a Warhammer 40k faction AT home. The faction AT home:

Those look like a child between necrons from and the mechanicus from Warhammer

I just love games made by playrs they know what the community wants so the game is gona be fire

This was clearly inspired by Mengsk from SC2 Coop Thralls and troopers are cheap disposable armies Commanders and royal guards are elite units with powerful abilities Terror tanks can be individually equipped just like troopers Obelisks are somewhat similar to the bunker drop ability

Cool ideas! The only thing that I'm not convinced about is that they visually look too much like the human/terran/marine faction. If I look at them from above, I see marines and tanks. (I have a similar worry for some of the mercenaries that we have seen.) I hope that their final design ends up being much more different and unique than the other races! There's many directions one can go. More shiny colors, or more glows/neons, more alien-like, more magical/ethereal/psychic vibes, more rounded shapes if the terran race is more sharp/square looking (or viceversa), spikes, more bio or more mech (altough you already have a bio/insect race and a robot race, and btw, kudos for making the design of the robot race so original), more ancient civilization like, and so on! Great job and good luck with the KS!

This faction begs for a mind control mechanic to create thralls from enemies. It's just generally hard to implement

This is getting out of hand! Now there are three of them!

I like how the Legion has that WC3 jank look to it's animations, I know it's an early build side effect but it's charming especially when next to the bugs that have more polished animations :p

The Terror Tank seems interesting, instead of the shield thing I could imagine it having a blackhole generator like that Allied warship does in Red Alert 3 or maybe a small "doctrine" system like the tank can be perma outfitted for war with the turrets or morale support with dps increase or healing or such.

I've got the Warhammer 40.000 Imperial Guard flashbacks. Especially beacuse of terror tanks. IT IS THE BANEBLADE!!!

Basically Mengsk from coop with BANEBLADE!

The baneblade!!!!!

Those tanks taking full advantage of Lanchester's Square Law is a development I'm being waiting to see for some time. It would be amusing to tweak rebuild/damage speeds to the point where players just pit a single tank against each other and then rebuild turrets, seeing whose macro game is better than the other.

3 Alerac Coop Comander with a sc2 beta buildable Thor/BC and deploy pylon

Definitely very cool concept. The movement on the terror tanks is a bit jarring. Hopefully can get the right animation speeds balanced with that, and I have full confidence they will, but I couldn't appreciate the unit that well while seeing how it moved compared to its bulk >.

It would be nice if Kragar could have a distinctively big gun...he looks a bit like a regular thrall as is...

Protectorade is effimeral,Legion is eternal xd Sryy but this looks great! So wonderful

nice video. im a legion main now btw
