00:00God games, a genre once thought to be long gone, is now on the verge of revival.
00:06The power to shape a world with supernatural abilities, whether with kindness or cruelty, has always fascinated us as players.
00:14This is why we're developing Fata Deum, a new God game inspired by the legends of old.
00:20Fata Deum started as a small Kickstarter five years ago, and with the support of our amazing community, it's grown into something we're truly proud of.
00:30So what is Fata Deum? Is it the next black and white? Populous? Or spore? Is it something entirely new?
00:38With this video, we break down the key aspects and mechanics of the game.
00:41So watch along to learn more, or leave your questions in the comments.
00:46In Fata Deum, you're not just a builder of worlds. You're a shaper of lives, beliefs, and of destiny itself.
00:53Compete against rival gods for influence, interact with the world through wonders, and directly shape its fate with physical miracles.
01:03In Fata Deum, you rule over mortals, beings who will respond to your presence in many ways.
01:09You can lift them into the air, toss them around for fun, or guide them with care and help them thrive.
01:16Whether you're a warm-hearted deity, a cold-hearted tyrant, or something in between, mortals will plead, pray, and ask for your blessings or your punishment.
01:27In Fata Deum, your playstyle, and that of your rivals, shapes the world itself.
01:33The landscape will transform to reflect your choices, growing bright and full of life, or falling into darkness and decay.
01:41Your actions also influence how your mortals behave, creating different stories each time you play.
01:48As a god, you will use miracles to affect birth rates and the very evolution of your people,
01:54passing down their visual appearance and traits, such as strength or intellect, to future generations.
02:00You can bless mortals to increase their productivity, create resources to boost their progress, protect them during a fight, or heal those wounded.
02:09If that all sounds too nice, well then sacrifice them to summon others in their place, or turn them into zombies.
02:18Steal their energy to get more mana, or to boost your warriors.
02:22The opportunities are endless.
02:25At early access launch, Fata Deum features four handcrafted maps with dozens of unique locations to discover,
02:32each hiding rewards or story-driven quests.
02:36Solve them your way, peacefully, forcefully.
02:39Or with your wits.
02:41Our physics-based destruction system lets you truly shape the world.
02:46Smash buildings, toss boulders, or call down meteorites, watching it all crumble beneath your might.
02:53A day in Fata Deum is split into two phases.
02:56While the sun is up, you perform miracles, fulfill prayers, manipulate mortals, or complete quests.
03:03As the world grows, so do your challenges, with rival gods working to steal your followers.
03:10By night, while your mortals snooze, you can take a break and plan without time pressure.
03:16Whisper into your followers' dreams to prepare them for times of toil or peace.
03:21Tweak your cities, reroute trade, or set new priorities, all from the shadows.
03:29You can build villages or sprawling cities with over 20 building types,
03:34tailoring your civilization toward war, knowledge, productivity, or growth.
03:39And like your morality, your level of involvement is also flexible.
03:44Skip the night phase entirely, or micromanage every dream.
03:48The choice is yours.
03:51We've already mentioned rival gods, so let's take a look at each one.
03:55All with their own personality and playstyle.
03:59Violence, goddess of war and destruction.
04:02She is brutal, loud, and unrelenting.
04:06Definitely not one interested in the subtleties of negotiation.
04:11Pleasure, god of ecstasy, art, and joy.
04:14A lover of celebrating the finest things in life through festivals, music, and pure indulgence.
04:22Deceit, god of illusion and trickery.
04:24A mysterious figure who prefers to remain hidden, manipulating the world from the shadows.
04:31Fertility, the mother of all life.
04:34Provider of breath and growth.
04:36A nurturing force that empowers sprawling nature and the act of creation.
04:41This is a brief summary of Vata Deum.
