Patch 13 is now available for everyone on the Default Branch!

We’ve been hard at work expanding and polishing the experience while continuing our intensive development on the upcoming Hero Possession Mode - with a first glimpse waiting for you below!

Along the way, we’ve introduced several exciting improvements and new features to make your time in the world even more engaging.

Two brand-new Drawing Wonders have arrived: Earthquake and Create Stones.

Unleash devastating tremors that send the ground shaking and demolish multiple buildings at once—let the mortals truly fear the power of the earth!

Or take a more benevolent approach and conjure additional stones to provide your followers with the resources they need to thrive.

Here’s a first glimpse of the upcoming Hero Possession Mode!

Elemental Orbs have also received their own dedicated shortcut category, making them easier and faster to access during gameplay.

We’ve also made major improvements to the day and night cycle.

The differences between phases have been significantly reduced by removing mana reduction mechanics and making most manipulations available during the day as well.

The remaining actions will be updated soon, meaning you’ll soon be able to perform any godly action whenever you want, without having to wait for the next phase.

On top of that, we’ve been carefully listening to your feedback.

This helped us identify a long list of smaller gameplay improvements that together make a big difference.

From enhanced collection mechanics and refined AI behavior to improved visuals and numerous bug fixes, many areas of the game have been polished—and we’ll keep refining them.

And of course, development doesn’t stop there. We’re continuing to work on the progression system to make your divine journey even more rewarding.

Stay tuned—there’s much more to come.

• Added clockwise drawing wonder earthquake

• Added counterclockwise drawing wonder create stone

• No mana is lost between phases anymore

• The manipulation change workload can now be executed during the day too

• The manipulation focus work can now be executed during the day too

• The manipulation remove building can now be executed during the day too

• The manipulation send resource can now be executed during the day too

• Improved workplace assignment to avoid mortals being placed at the same place at the same time

• Elemental orbs now have their own category in the shortcut bar

• Fixed a bug where a prayer just asking to hurt a mortal required killing him instead

• Improved animation LOD system so that more animated characters are still shown at a distance, especially if in focus

• Fixed a bug in Collecting Skill Level 2 (no bonus was applied)

• Strongly improved the collecting support system, especially for trees, to make collecting even smoother

• Fixed an issue with ungrounded terrain when building a farm on crops

• Adjusted the sound filter system so sounds always play when really close

• Added UI feedback when mana is missing or the drawing shape is not sufficient

• Improved AI logic to avoid too many fights already at the beginning (considering the game difficulty setup)

Patch 12 is now available for everyone on the Default Branch!

After taking a short winter break over Christmas, we’re back with fresh godly energy – and we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature: Hero Priests!

You mighty gods can now delegate minor wonder-making tasks to especially powerful mortals.

Every time you complete a quest, you’ll get to choose:

• Create a new Hero Priest by transforming one of your believers

• Or upgrade one of your existing heroes

With each upgrade, a hero can perform more wonders – and they’ll even start hovering to speed things up. Sure, they slowly lose their soul in the process… but who’s counting?

Do you care?

As always, the choice is yours.

You can also give your heroes guidance and define their profile, similar to high-level settlement management: Destroyer or Preserver (with more profiles planned for the future).

And this is just the beginning! We’re already planning additional features for Hero Priests – like possessing them… or maybe even possessing any mortal? 👀

We’d love to hear what you think about the Hero Priest feature and what you’d like to do with them!

On top of that, we’ve added a new drawing ability for the Water Orb:

• 🌫️ Summon a fog of war that hides your mortals and protects them from enemy god interactions

• 🌧️ Or conjure a massive magical rain to grow food

How the Magic Rain Works:

Now that we’re fully awake from our winter sleep and have done plenty of long-term planning over the past weeks, all we can say is:

Stay tuned – there’s much more to come. 🔥

• Added general hero priest feature

• Added hero priest profile: Destroyer

• Added hero priest profile: Preserver

• Added hero priest daytime logic

• Added hero priest fight support logic

• Added drag and drop logic to assign hero priest to neutral or own villages

• Added hero priest transformation wonder: apotheosis

• Added tutorial for hero priests

• Added clockwise drawing wonder fog of war

• Added counterclockwise drawing wonder grow food

• Added depth of field and distance fog dependent on camera distance and angle

• Performance improvements on building damage transformer logic (reduces lages when using meteor strike or similar)

• Collecting food is now possible from the start

• Fixed invalid doubled creations of simple building entries, and thereby avoiding long lags during simple building creation after large set of manually added buildings

• Fixed vegetation not created via wonder in some biomes

Minor Improvements:

• Godly fist can now be used directly in context where no collecting action is triggered

• Fixed bug related to blueprint extraction for invalid building types

• Fixed two bugs related to broken savegames

• Improved lowe res collider data for all scenes

• Minor general performance improvements

If you’re enjoying the new update, please consider leaving a positive Steam review — it really helps us a lot!

Thank you for your continued support.

Patch 11 is now available for everyone on the Default Branch!

We have added a new general ability for elemental orbs: drawing miracles!

Once an elemental orb has been summoned, it can now be used to draw a shape on the terrain. Once the shape is closed, a miracle is performed on the area defined by the shape!

The size of the shape is, of course, limited to the power level of the orb itself.

In addition, you can perform different miracles depending on the way you draw the miracle: if the miracle is drawn clockwise, you perform a negative miracle, while drawing counterclockwise results in a positive miracle.

As a first step, we have added miracle drawing for the fire orb and the two miracles:

• Inferno (clockwise drawing): Damages mortals and zombies and burns vegetation.

• Holy Fire (counterclockwise drawing): Damages immortals and heals/revives mortals.

Don't mix it up, or you'll burn your poor mortals instead of healing them!

Here’s another look at the Holy Fire and also the Inferno in action.

At the same time, we're working on a new feature that will be introduced in January next year: the Hero Priest!

We're not revealing any more details yet, just a little spoiler:

Summary:

• Added general wonder drawing logic for elemental orbs

• Added clockwise drawing wonder inferno

• Added counterclockwise drawing wonder holy fire

• Added tutorial for drawing wonders

• Added skill for elemental orbs to unlock drawing wonders

• Added tooltips to explain new wonder functionality and effect for drawing wonders

Minor improvements:

• Removed tooltips while using thrower

• Fixed bad fading decals

• Fixed issue with render logic of particle effects
