What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access is a great opportunity to connect with the community, to gather feedback and identify issues before launching the game. As a solo developer it’s easy to get blinded when working on your own game. Having a varied group of enthusiasts providing feedback is invaluable. It’s a way to gauge the popularity of different elements of the project so I can avoid spending time on undesired features and focus on what the players actually want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until I am satisfied with the state of the game !
My target is less than a year. But it may take longer depending on how many new ideas will emerge from the early access feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“So far I see three main areas to consolidate to make the game more interesting.
  • Miracles: you can already see some of the powers I intend to implement in the upgrade menu.
  • Village: I plan to improved the variety of buildings and a number of jobs.
  • Events: I plan to add more random events to the game to challenge the player.
And anything else that comes up from interacting with the players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The state of the game in early access is somewhere between a demo and the final product :) You can get a good idea about the main gameplay loop by trying the demo. All the powers that you see locked in the demo are freely available in early access (such as meteor, lightning, crows, etc.). Additionally, the village construction goes further in early access, with more diverse buildings available. The early access version also contains new surprise events to challenge players that I don't want to spoil. Don't hesitate to download the demo to get a better idea before buying early access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game will increase upon release. It's my way of thanking anyone who has helped me by providing feedback and is willing to buy the unfinished game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Any constructive criticism or interesting new ideas to implement are welcome. Don't Hesitate get in touch with me using the steam forum or or Reddit.”

About This Game

"Genesis of a Small God is a god simulation !

Feel the power of being an all mighty god. Play on a generated island where you can do whatever you want. Learn how to be a god. Unlock mighty miracles and care for your faithfuls.

You are free to proceed however you want.

Will you grow food to feed them ?

Will you help them gather resources and build their village ?

Will you protect them from dangers ?

Will you use their remains to feed the remaining villagers ?

Miracles

Discover a wide variety of miracles. From the fireball that can burn an entire forest to summoning the rain that will grow the flora around, this game offers many different miracles. As you keep playing, you can unlock even more impressive miracles like throwing meteors or resurrecting the dead. You can even share them by ordaining priests.

A living island

You play on a procedurally generated voxel island you can modify it to your liking. The island is composed of a wide flora and fauna. The game offers simulated seasons where the plants bloom appropriately. Everything on the island is trying to survive and will react to your actions. Using the physics engine you can throw anything around. You can help, hinder or simply watch the creatures on the island.

Care for your people

Your power comes from the faith of your people. Their belief will vary based on their living conditions. Are they fed ? Do they have shelter ? Are they being mangled by a hungry wolf ? The happier they are the more they will believe in you. Take care of them even when they die, you must reap their soul to prevent them from becoming angry ghosts.

Expanding village

Meanwhile the villagers will try to build and improve their village. You can influence their actions by terraforming the ground. And help them gather the necessary resources and even help them build their little economy. You can’t directly choose the building. But you can destroy any building you don’t agree with.

Wide variety of challenges

Protect your people from many dangers, from the horde of undead to abductions by an alien spaceship. There is never a dull moment. The game regularly triggers random events. You must react to those events or suffer the consequences. From invasive plants to strange astrological occurrences, you never know what’s going to happen.

Taking your time

The game is meant as a relaxing experience. You can always restart on a new island. You keep every unlocked power. You control the difficulty of the game to fit your play style. You can choose to play a stress free experience without any random event. Or you can choose a nightmarish experience where you are expected to solve multiple problems happening at once.

Speaking with me

Whether you prefer Discord or Steam forum, don’t hesitate to leave me a message. I am always on the lookout for feedback or cool new ideas to implement."
