Channel your inner Lannister and rule over your scattered space empire while trying to balance family dramas, political intrigue and military conflict.

The game mixes a light empire management strategy layer with a unique procedurally generated narrative of human drama and feudal politics, where your choices will define your story.

Humanity had just taken its first tentative steps in space, when the catastrophic destruction of Earth plunged the galaxy into a new Dark Age. Now, centuries later, those few surviving colonies have stabilised into a simple feudal society, unable to comprehend or advance the technological artefacts they use to survive. Internecine fights between an aristocratic elite decide the fate of the scattered fragments of humankind.

As the leader of a faction of star systems, you must ensure the survival and prosperity of your dynasty at any cost. Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, build political alliances, and navigate a web of agendas, political intrigue and social obligations to emerge as the dominant power of the galaxy.

Iceberg Interactive and Pawley Games are excited to announce that their sci-fi narrative strategy game Star Dynasties has reached its first major Roadmap milestone!

The brand new modding tool allows players to create in-game event chains that can drastically alter your narrative. With the official Reading Ruler mod, your ruler may become an avid collector and reader of ancient literature, like Pinocchio and Sherlock Holmes.

Players can also easily share their mods through the Steam Workshop, allowing others to load them in when they start a new game.

To help players get started with the modding tool, lead developer Glen Pawley has created an extensive step-by-step guide.

During its Early Access period, Star Dynasties has received numerous Quality of Life and content updates, addressing player feedback. This major update also further improves the notification system, making event pop-ups less intrusive -- a common ask from players.

Star Dynasties is available through Steam Early Access for $24.99.
