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.

Normally I'd say "if anyone can do Populous justice, it would be Peter Molyneux" ... but... egh... it's Peter Molyneux Neutral

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.

Why the hate ?
The man made in the past great works and he deserves our help with this.
I don't think, an example, that the Project Eternity, start with better material than this.
This project deserves our respect and needs to be backed. Cool

This how kickstarter works.
Crowd funded powahh.

No stupid publishers behind the whiteboard to turn a Populous game into a dumbed down Hack&Slash with ZomgBIES everywhere...

No. Actually I live in the clouds. Smile
But if some not very successful projects condemned to eternal oblivion their creator, than Obsidian for example shouldn't be so successful in their last instalment after D.S.3 and A.P. Wink
This project deserves more respect and founds than other crap , like thorvalla.
And it's figures are positive and i bet it will be successful in the end. Cool

After Curiosity, I wouldn't want him to have full creative freedom Laughing

Don't forget that Godus is just the 2nd of the 22 experiments/games he'll make. Laughing
