I've made a rough preview of what our itch.io page could look like.
To Do
Nice to have
Please feel free to suggest improvements.
If you want to edit the page directly, simply create an itch.io account and ask one of the existing editors to add you:

Looking pretty good. I'll try to make an account and do some image improvements. I'd like to see a more interesting header and better background. Screens are alright but there should be only 1 no-unit screenshot max, imo.
How about a couple of screens showing our new and polished ingame interface? or our awesome new lobby.
The description texts have always felt a little "sterile" to me. Not sure how I would make them better.

I would prefer more screenshots like this one:
single unit focus from a nice angle. the images are very small on the website so those seem to look best to me.
background image should be at least 4k if possible, otherwise 1440p. zk website background looks completely broken on >1080p screens.

Yes the battleship should definitely stay.

I'd be happy if one of the native speakers (KR, Google?) could have a look at the text. Some parts are still very poorly phrased.

header candidate, only 2mb as well

I suggest the following revisions:
Decapitalise and move 'ships' to avoid repetition: vehicles, tanks, ships, hovercraft, planes, gunships, spider walkers,...
Tactical possibilities aren't limited by one's technical ability; instead, the interface has been designed such that anyone can easily command hundreds of units at the same time.
Terraforming and realistic explosions mean that the battlefield is always changing. Every unit has its specialties and can be countered by the right strategy. Zero-K also boasts a flat tech tree; all units are available from the start of each game with no research or buildup required.

  gajop sure, if you have some good looking screens just put them in here. I'd put those between the text though because the screens on the right are too small for anything but closeups. (Due to itch.io's bad CSS condensing everything into a tiny strip in the centre of the page)
We could also use a bird's eye battle for the background image.

I've updated the texts with Captain's suggestions, except for using "ever" instead of "always" as to avoid repetition.
Additionally there's now a section about the planet wars. They worked well during the last rounds and sell even better.

Yeah gajop, that is what the audience wants to see. I will watch some lobster parties this week and and snapshot the best scenes I can find in them. We need at least one shot with the UI for sure.

Planet war is inactive at the moment best not to mention it?
maybe "Zero-k by Zero-k Team" not "Zero-k by Zero-k" ?

The browser tab icon could probably be changed; the Det-and-Scorpion screenshot doesn't work at that size.

Text feedback as requested:
"real-world physics" sounds like an exaggeration (a lot of it isn't realistic), "simulated" perhaps?
(same deal with "realistic explosions")
quote:
Tactical possibilities aren't limited by one's technical ability |
Probably because of my programming hobby, but "technical" here sounds more like "skill with computer code and other such things" than "APM"
Maybe "dexterity?"
(because I'm that kind of person, I tried and failed to come up with phrasing that doesn't imply having things like muscle spasms or blindness won't impact the game at all)
Some minor stuff:
quote:
A powerful interface allows players to easily implement their economic, strategic, and tactical decisions |
"execute" would probably be more correct than "implement"
"Spider walkers" should be just "Spiders" perhaps
(also maybe remove Tanks, since to people outside the context of the game it just sounds like a subset of Vehicles)

@KingRaptor suggestions have been implemented, except for "simulated" instead of "real-world" physics which I've replaced by "realistic" for now. "Simulated" sounds rather negative outside technical interpretation.

Replaced glaive line image with 1080p version.
I'm pretty happy with the page currently, release whenever.
Should comments stay enabled?
