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.
Some progress on leader creation and character functionality, essentially the first real update including work on the rpg aspect.
The main leader is meant to be the player character basically. You can die :P, but can be replaced by successor.
Also you can choose the starting class, which is very important, either a governor, scientist or fleet commander. Fleet commander is the most dangerous though, since you will be sending your leader out to battle to really benefit from it. Just a warning :P.
