Tentang Permainan Ini

Chronicle of Gods is a single-player god game set on a world that makes its own history. You play one of its gods, among rivals with plans of their own. You reach into the world of mortals, and the Chronicle writes what comes of it into a book you can open at any time.

Your hand on the world

You have dozens of acts, some merciful and some cruel, and you aim each one at a land, a people, a realm, a great house or another god.

• The land: Bless the harvest or blight it. Call down a tempest, send a killing stroke from the sky or raise a volcano.

• Peoples: Bless their learning so they take up farming sooner. Rouse a wandering horde against a neighbouring realm.

• Faith: Consecrate a region as holy ground in your name. Send the faithful out to spread your worship to other lands, even across the sea.

• Realms: Whisper a court towards war, counsel it towards peace or call a holy war. Press one realm to bow to another and stir subject realms to break free.

• Great houses: Inside a realm, great houses vie for power, and one of them may rule. Tip the balance as you see fit: anoint a house as rightful or condemn it as false, back it with your patronage or turn it to sedition. You can even bring death closer to its head, or hold it off for a span of years.

• Sight: Even a god cannot watch everything at once. Follow a few realms to keep their lands under your gaze wherever they spread, or turn your eye on any other land. Ward your ground against other gods, read a court's hidden dealings or borrow a rival god's sight for a while.

Moments that wait for you

When an army gathers for a siege, the fortunes of a war turn, a realm sues for peace or a plague takes hold, the world halts at the tipping point and waits for you to decide which way it falls. You might stop a siege before it begins, or whisper to the besiegers to raze the city to the ground. You can end a plague or make it deadlier. You choose which moments halt the world and how fast time runs between them. The slowest speed lets you follow a single siege, and at the fastest, millennia pass at a glance.

Sometimes the ground itself stirs, and a sleeping mountain buries the land around it in fire and ash.

You are not the only god

Rival gods are born from the faith of mortals, and they fade when too few still worship them. They hold grudges and make pacts, and they often move against you where you cannot see.

A god's deeds leave marks on the land that show what kind of god made them, though not always which one. Read them and weigh the suspects. You can offer a rival a truce or a full accord, and rivals will make offers to you as well. Wrong too many gods, though, and their grudges converge until they turn on you together.

You become what you do

Every people that learns of you gives you a name in its own tongue. Everything you do shapes the god you truly are. What people see you do decides what they believe you are: merciful or wrathful, a god of order or of chaos. The two need not match. As that belief changes, the world gives you new epithets. Deeds true to your nature come easily. Deeds against it come hard, and can turn your worshippers from you.

Faith follows souls

Faith lives in people, so it moves when they move. Migrants and missionaries carry it to new lands, and it fades where its believers are gone. Rival gods court the same peoples, and a land's faith can pass from one god to another. Where gods are worshipped side by side, creeds form, and even inside a creed the gods compete for primacy.

You see the world through your worshippers, the realms you follow and the land you turn your eye to. Everywhere else, the map shows only what you last knew of it, and beyond that, unknown land.

A world with its own history

Every world, down to its continents and rivers, grows from a word you choose. You also decide how warm it is and how much mineral wealth lies in its ground.

Bands of foragers wander it, learn to farm and settle. Villages grow into cities, and some cities become the seats of realms.

Realms trade, make alliances, form leagues and bring others under their control. They also make war, rebel, break apart and fall. Their peoples discover new knowledge as they go, from the first stone tools to writing and coinage.

A single world can run for thousands of years. It lives on its own, and what you do changes its course.

The Chronicle

The Chronicle was writing before the first realm rose, and it will still be writing when the last one falls. Its book is divided into ages, each with its own dawn and dusk. It tells of rulers' lives and the fortunes of the powerful, and your deeds are written there among theirs. The Chronicle knows where a god has touched the world, but it does not always say which god.

Each world gets a different book, and its ages are named for what defined them, such as the Age of Tangled Fates or the Age of Fading Gods.

Goals you set yourself

There is no score and no win screen. Peoples vanish and realms collapse, and none of it counts against you. What you set out to do is up to you: carry your faith across a continent, raise a house until it rules, keep one people alive through the hungry years or starve a rival of worshippers until it fades.

Where it stands

Chronicle of Gods is made by one person and is coming to Early Access. Everything described above is in the game today, and the game will keep growing from here. Wishlist to follow along, or join the Discord if you want a say in what comes next.

Pendedahan Kandungan Dihasilkan AI

Pembangun menerangkan cara permainan mereka menggunakan Kandungan Dihasilkan AI seperti berikut:

Chronicle of Gods is made by one person with the help of AI coding assistants. AI is used as a programming tool: writing, refactoring and testing source code to my specification. The game's English text (the interface, the tooltips and the sentence templates the chronicle is built from) was also written with these assistants, to my direction. No image, music or voice model was used. Everything visible, from the globe and the maps to the heraldry, the icons and the interface, is drawn by code, and that code was written with the same assistants to my direction. The lettering is set in open-licence typefaces by human type designers. The sound effects are my own recordings, plus one public-domain (CC0) recording; there is no music yet. The histories each world produces are assembled by procedural systems I designed, not by a language model. The shipped game contains no live-generated AI content: nothing calls out to an AI model while you play, and the game does not require a network connection to generate anything.

Chronicle of Gods is a history simulation told through text and a map. Wars, sieges, plague and famine kill people, and the Chronicle records how many died. Cities are sacked and razed, captives are carried off, some realms keep people in bondage, and sacrifices are made to the gods. None of it is shown graphically.
