Godhood - God Game on Kickstarter

A new Kickstarter from Abbey Games introduces god game Godhood, which has a goal of 50K.

Abbey Games, the creator of Reus and Renowned Explorers, is back with an all-new single-player god game, Godhood.

As a tribal god, create your own religion, inspire your tribe's growth, convert unbelievers and become the greatest god of all.

While channeling the titans of yore, such as Black & White and Populous, Godhood sets out to revive the PC strategy god game genre in it's own unique way: by allowing you to truly craft your own one-of-a-kind religion.

What is Godhood?

Craft your religion as a tribal god.
Choose virtues, vices, rituals and religious dogmas.
Inspire a group of heroic disciples to spread your will, without direct control.
Watch your holy temple site grow over generations from an isometric perspective.
Defeat enemy disciples in ritual conflict to convert worshippers and power up.
Early Access release planned for May 2019 on PC (Windows / Mac / Linux), priced at EUR25.
Full release later in 2019, priced at EUR30, with post-release content and DLC support planned for years.

More information.

Looks like a developer was inspired by the Populous, Settlers, and various city building games. Seems a lot of these games have been getting released over the years.

All the recent ones I've seen all looked pretty crappy. (Haven't really looked at this one yet.) I think there's room in the God-game niche for a good one. I haven't played a good one since the first Black & White game.

Edit: Watched the video. Hard to tell if it's going to have real depth from that, though they list the right games as their inspiration. Also, that is a bold choice of shirt by the guy narrating that video. I kind of like it…after the initial shock. :p
