In the video interview featuring pre-alpha footage, Ylva Sundstrom, Producer at developer Zeal Game Studios, describes how Starvoid with its easy to pick-up-and-play structure, has both Space and Western inspirations in its setting.
Starvoid is a multiplayer real time strategy game, wrapped in the easy-to-pick-up and and easy-to-play structure of a first person shooter.
The player takes the role of a mercenary commander in the outer rims of the galaxy, fighting for control over the rare spaceship fuel Starvoid. On the battlefield, the player has an arsenal of combat droids, vehicles and ingenious abilities ranging from deployable machine gun turrets and minefields to repair nanoids and orbital rocket strikes. Everything is constantly refilled as the commander instantly is allowed to re-enter the battlefield after being eliminated.
