Greetings, gods! Happy upcoming New Year! This update brings a brand new difficulty level, new skills, talents, scrolls, and a bunch of balance tweaks. Let me know what you think, and join the discussion about Godless in the Discord!
Godless in 2026
The next update does not have a concrete release date yet and is planned for sometime in 2026. It will conclude Godless' content support, but you can still expect minor patches with bug fixes and balance tweaks afterwards. In the next update I will mostly focus on improving existing systems to ensure long-term replayability, while also adding a bit of new content.
Evil Advisor Verdict
I’m currently working on my next game, Evil Advisor Verdict, where you play as an evil advisor delivering twisted verdicts at a royal tribunal. Feel free to check out its Steam page and opt in for the playtest!
