[Game] Will of the Gods

[Sir_Artorias]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to show you a project that me and our team, Comrades Inc., work on right now!

Will of the Gods is a 1v1 top-down arcade God vs God Smackdown! Guide your faithful followers to your temple, while smiting those, following the other ‘God’.

The game was first created for the 2016 Global Game Jam at Breda, the Netherlands, where it won Second Place and the People’s Choice Award. Seeming like a fun project and something we’d love to develop more. Here’s a video showing the gameplay that was done after the jam:

Right now we are reworking the art style, creating an AI and adding some new design mechanics like mutators that enhance the game and give it a new twist. We are working towards release on Steam and Greenlight(we’ve yet to put it out there).

You can expect an update from us every week, because we have a strict schedule we want to keep Here are some changes to the art in the first week.

It went from this:

To a more bright, cheery one:

Hi everyone, wanted to share a bit of progress on our game!

We have been focusing a lot on feedback lately and iterating on some of the core mechanics. The game is starting to turn out very nice and we had some playtests that gave us some goods ideas on what to do!
Here are some screens from some of the changes(not all of them though!):

We have changed our deadline for releasing on Steam Greenlight on the 13th of May! So if you like what you see and would like to battle your friends for the position of ultimate gods, please support our projects
