Hello!
My game, Alliance of the Sacred Suns, is entering the home stretch before Early Access. It's basically feature complete at this point, but we need to raise some money to get us to that finish line, including testing, balancing, bugfixing, and UI/UX changes! The launch of the Kickstarter will commence at 10AM EST this Friday, the 4th of December. The launch will be accompanied by a live gameplay stream with me, Steve Hawkins, lead developer on the game. The Kickstarter link is

Alliance is a groundbreaking 4X/grand strategy game, inspired by games including Crusader Kings II, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, Distant Worlds, Dwarf Fortress, and The Quiet Sleep, as well as Frank Herbert’s classic novel Dune and acclaimed HBO series Boardwalk Empire. As the newly minted Emperor or Empress, you must navigate the vicious feudal politics of a crumbling space empire, building relationships with and manipulating characters who dynamically pursue their own agendas and those of their Great Houses. Power and corruption are at the heart of the game, which layers this political intrigue on top of a richly detailed economic and social simulation with an innovative set of mechanics inspired by board games, including an Action Points system that does away with micromanagement, a Projects system that turns build orders into political footballs, and much more.
