Try to get as much Prestige and Population as possible before the king dies.


Please be aware that I added the html version later on because it's more convenient to play. It's not optimized for it though, you may have frame drops and music glitches. So I suggest the desktop version instead.

Made for Miz Jam 1
This was a 2 person project.


Stellar King is a strategy/simulation Space game, but you are a medieval king. Manage your servants and alien emissaries. Colonize planets, let your population grow to the highest numbers, gain prestige to be remembered for ever!

Originally, the idea was to make a fantasy game where you have to manage your court as the king. My wife wanted to go more into the space direction, so we did both! I was listening to 80s synth music which then led to the final aesthetic style.

I had way to little time for actual playtesting. I wanted to include more sound effects, the balance is horrible and many calculations probably not how I imagined them. And be sure there will be bugs. I had more NPCs planned and they all should have been more unique. Unfortunately, the Queen is pretty useles right now. And allthought it should have been a major mechanic, there aren't any negative consequences for letting relations go low. I couldn't do that in time, at the end I prioritized a Start Menu / End Screen and the tutorial. Obviously all done in a hurry, but I hope the game is playable right now, let me know! :)

Besides that, I'm really happy with the game. It's only my second Game Jam after one in late 2018. And it's amazing to see how much I have improved. That gives me hope for the future!


A huge thanks to Miziziziz for hosting this Jam and especially for the way it's organized. I can completly participate even with a full time job. That's amazing!

Great use of assets; very pretty game. I liked the UI, and the Star-map looked great. Some frame-rate drop when running in the browser though. Impressively complex for a Jam game. 

Thank you, i'm really happy the visuals are appealing, was kind of an experiment.

Yes, it surely isn't well optimized, even not in the desktop version (although that should run without problems). It's because I had to take the easy way to solve a problem and now - although it seems separated - both the ship and the star map are running at the same time.
