I made a tiny game for PicoSteveMo with @dicey.bsky.social !
➡️ It's called King Stephen
➡️ You play as King Stephen (King of England 1135-1154)
➡️ It's a Reigns-like decision-making game
➡️ I did the writing + portraits
➡️ Made for a Stephen King game jam
➡️ It's very silly

Launch day was a personal success! I'm so glad to hear from folks who have enjoyed their experience with Superstar Strategy.
The only crash report I've received so far was for a very minor issue that was only triggered by a player exiting the game. So... task failed successfully?
