Star Zeal 4x Windows game

Star Zeal is a work in progress 4x space strategy game with a focus on a more personal take with your civilization and its characters. A mixture between a procedural, open ended RPG and a space civilization builder. You are represented in the game by a customizable character as the leader of your civilization, your character can die and be replaced by your progeny or desired replacements.

The main game has you play in the Milky Way galaxy with pre-made star clusters and systems like our own the Sol system and many procedural star clusters. You will be able to play as many different species, even minor ones, from large militaristic empires to isolated nomadic species, or even a race of pirates. The end goals of each faction created, or pre-made can be extremely variable. Sometimes a faction only wants to hide from everyone in their tiny corner of the universe.

One of the main features is the extremely large playable area, an entire galaxy! With thousands of procedurally generated and hand made star systems. You will probably never explore it all. You can start off as any available species or go with what is more familiar and start with the young Human Empire recovering from long tribal wars on Earth.

Unique features.

-Massive galaxy to play in with real life star clusters and procedurally generated as you go along.
