New Game Setup Menu & Meta Progression
When starting a new game, you now have the opportunity to specify your game setup.
On which island do you want to play?
Which enemy gods do you want to go up against?
How difficult should it be and what should your start progress look like?
Specials: If you want to go crazy, choose a special game setup.
Normal mortals do not fly high enough when you hit them? Smash them into space with our “Lunar Gravity”.
You want to start a zombie apocalypse? Go for it with the “Night of the living dead” special.
Or do you want to have an advanced start with a lot of villages or fully build cities? Then start with the “Advanced Villages” or “Cities” special.
But not all options are available from the beginning and you need to unlock these due to several challenges!
Intro Cutscene & Fate Challenges
Each Free Play will start with a great intro cutscene introducing your creators: The Fates.
They will not only guide you and tell you more about the world. From time to time they will reach out and will give you the opportunity to choose between 3 challenges.
So you can choose your fate!
Once a challenge is fulfilled the corresponding Fate blesses you and increases your already growing powers!
Voice Over
Yes, that’s right! The intro cutscene and the Imp (the whole tutorial!) are talking!
Quests and Rewards
All of our islands are now filled with exploration spots. Fly around the island and visit them. In some cases you find interesting quests, in others you will earn a reward for exploring.
Improved Buildings
We enhanced our village building assets to give a better look. Here are beauty shots from three of them.
School:
Temple:
Barrack:
And these are just a few out of 11 village buildings we have improved.
Animation Variation
Along with the improved building assets, buildings are now bustling and there are a variety of animations. For example, you can now see people drinking, trading, dancing, or sleeping at the tavern. Take a closer look at each building and you will see many different things going on!
Advanced Demolition System
With our newly added decal and the deformation, the meteor strike looks even more devastating. Each building can be deformed in a very realistic and/or funny way!
This can also be done with the Godly Fist!
Afterwards the mortals rush to the building and try to repair it.
Wonder Load Icon
Often it was not obvious how powerful your wonder was when you held the mouse for longer. This has now changed with our wonder load icon. You are now able to see exactly which wonder level you execute the longer you hold it.
Mortal Motivation
Are your mortals lazy or do they lack motivation? Spread fear, punish one mortal and others will be motivated as they fear to be punished, too! So it is even better now to be evil!
Steam Rewards
Earn steam rewards by playing Fata Deum. Collect up to 8 trading cards, craft badges, earn background images for your steam account, or unlock emoticons to chat with other gods. Here is a small sample of what you will be able to earn.
Next Steps
We have now stopped developing any new features and focus on polishing and bug fixing to provide you a smooth experience from day one!
