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. It has a massive Milky Way galaxy with thousands of procedural stars and many unique species to choose to play as. Full real time 3D battles, 3d colonies and a rpg style character/hero system. You go on an adventure with your civilization.

NB: Use view original for proper resolution of gif.
Work in progress of leader creation, abilities, traits and the character generation system.
Leaders are based on classes that are not global effects on the empire/faction. Even the players character viewed in this gif can only effect one aspect depending on class. So pick wisely for your play style.
You can be a scientist leader who's traits will affect science only... or a commander which will affect a single fleet(this can be much more powerful than you think). Leaders will have 1 special ability and able to use an item(you can pick one at the start or get one during gameplay for each leader).
Up next on the to do list is one of the final core features, the AI. :P
Also note the other leaders you can hire or recruit function the same way as the main leader. They can have items, special abilities the whole deal :P.
Oh and the species you see in the gif are Humans, Solarian humans. They are also known as Sol Exiles.
