Heads will roll.
Hello, all. I'm one of two team members working hard on an upcoming game called "I Am King". I am the artist and co-programmer. The game features deep role playing, a randomly generated family tree for each and every family in the randomly generated realm. As you take on the burden of being king and representative for your house, you must ensure the safety of your keep, maintain good relations with other families, secure your lineage with a suitable heir, and perhaps most importantly, prevent your throat from being slit open in your sleep.   The game has just started development and we hope to bring you updates regularly!

Yes!
I've been myself dreaming with a "personal" strategy game for some time. But my current project is about 1 year away from completion, so I didn't get to it yet, and most likely won´t ever.
I like the visual you are going form. Will you have a 4X framework running in the background? I'm thinking something like Dune, King of Dragon Pass or Transantartica, but with more RPG elements...
What's your vision like?

Dune 2 has inspired me somewhat. Particularly the pacing and graphical style, though not so much the RTS elements.
Unfortunately I don't have lots of details available yet, as we're still in the planning/designing stage. There will be a lot of sophisticated mechanics running all the time. For each in-game character there's a real family tree, and they have their own agenda etc.
The focus is for a heavily text rich game.

The concept has definitely piqued my interest! Those sigils look great too.

Great concept. I've been thinking about something similar for some time and I'll be watching keenly to see how this develops. Sad to hear Dying Sun is foundering once again so I really hope you get one of these projects to the finish line. Your ideas are too good to be wasted.
Pedant's Corner: I first read the title as 'Jam King' on the intro screen. Might need adjusting?

Hah! I'm not entirely happy with the title text, it must be said. It's quite a difficult thing to get right. I'll definitely be revisiting it.
Dying Sun is dead for the time being, until I find another programmer. This project is something to keep me from creative atrophy. I'm doing the entire thing in Game Maker, so I'll be able to work on it alone if anyone backs out.

DAM KING! You might want to redesign that logo a little. Maybe so that it's laid out more like: I
Am
King That or do the 'I' more like an illuminated starting letter with lot's of illustration  I love the vines and flora border btw. |

Overwhelming response to how bad the title looks.  I get the message. I'll be having a serious redesign of it tomorrow! Thanks for the heads up, Geo. I was thinking of one of those ornate capitals as well. |

Hey meek, is this the same game that you have been working on, or another one?
I really liked that first game concept.

I meant Dune 1! |

I've never actually played the first one. Looking on Wikipedia now, I can see the similarities! I'm intrigued. Does it play well?

This is a different game, I'm afraid. The first one is currently on hold until I can procure some new programming talent. |

Another very interesting idea of yours.
I'm really curious to see where you are going with this - the fantasy you are describing is very intriguing.

Finally changed the title. Looks a little less like 'Jam King' now (I hope)!
