|
 |
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus
£450,000 goal @ 30 days.
Quote: | - It’s a living world, unique and detailed. And it’s a world you influence, whether you’re good or evil.
- GODUS is instantly accessible, easy to learn but immensely deep.
- As you flourish and build your own cult, you’ll engage in pitched battles with other gods and their cults. It’s a multiplayer power-struggle the way it should be.
- GODUS draws on the cunning battle-psychology of Dungeon Keeper, the living, changing world of Black & White and the instinctive, satisfying gameplay of Populous.
- Plus you get to be a god. In fact, play well and you get to be the ultimate god!
- GODUS will be developed for the PC and Mobile devices, we hope to be able to add more platforms as our Kickstarter campaign progresses. |
Quote: | GODUS will take seven to nine months to complete, but if we exceed the amount of funding we’re asking for, we’ll use the extra to enhance the game further and support additional platforms which will add a little more time to the development schedule. Should we find ourselves in that happy situation, as a thank you, we’ll collaborate with you to implement the ideas and features you love the most. |

It sounds more like the title itself, a Populous "re-imagining" -- did you play Populous back when it came out?

But did he have full creative freedom before? It certainly seemed like it the way he talked about his games, but did he?
We all know what great games he has done before, so i wouldn't be so hasty to judge him now that he has his own studio.
Who am i kidding? He's making this for handheld devices and surely want to have it on xbla and psn also, it will be accessible and simple as shit.

Weren't we supposed to do just about anything in Fable3 according to Peter?
I remember he spoke about it if it were the second coming of christ.

PM destroyed his own reputation a thousand times over. This will be the last KS I support.

Molyneux ended at Dungeon Keeper (1997!) for me. So thanks but no thanks.

After Curiosity, I wouldn't want him to have full creative freedom
Don't forget that Godus is just the 2nd of the 22 experiments/games he'll make.
