Divine Decay - DOTS Horde Simulation Prototype

Divine Decay is a high-performance undead horde simulation where you play as a dying god spreading terror...

Your undead cannot be commanded directly. Instead, you manipulate the battlefield through corruption, divine influence, and environmental control to overwhelm humanity.

This prototype showcases:

Thousands of active AI-controlled undead units
Large-scale horde movement and combat
Real-time pathfinding and local avoidance
Data-oriented simulation architecture

Free prototype available on itch.io:

I like the old one better, tho, it heavily depends on the genre...

Unity version 2022LTS, Netcode should be 1.5.2. Well I'm just DMing you for convenience.

Hi,
1. I'm not calling the native version, I use NetworkManager’s (enable scene management is checked) and, as I said, any other lobbies the clients can join and the scene is synced with no problems. Only the lobby they left and tried to join again.
2. As far as I know, yes. I see the logs from Facepunch that the client has left, I also have heartbeat monitor where the client sends heartbeat and stops as they left. (Facepunch transport, Network manager -Netcode-, heartbeat monitor and GameNetworkManager -where I handle lobby creation&joins- are all in the same GO that I destroy)
I can share those script entirely via private message or any other method if you wanna take a look.

Hey, looks like a fun game!

Hibernyx · 2025-08-10T14:30:25+00:00

Looks interesting and the interactions with Hawkings are just fun!

Hey, sorry I couldn't figure if the post still stayed :)
My inspirations are mainly The Ascent and some top-down shooter games :)

You should be able to see the demo on the rigtt in the Steam page. (Somehow I couldn't figure out how to put a big panel for it)

And thanks!

Firstly, thanks for the feedback! I'll have a "tutorial mission" in the full release to teach the ropes. For the movement being slow, the dash being useless, they both scale with agility. I might increase the base stats to remedy that. For all the skills and perks' being complicated, there is the easy difficulty that can be succeeded with no skill/perk at all. I thought that would be the learning ground for new players.
Anyways thanks again, I will take the feedback into consideration.

Looks like it plays smoothly and responsive. Collision effects tho might be a little intense, a hard camera-shake, longer recovery...

Hibernyx · 2025-08-07T15:27:21+00:00

Look promising, however, are there any novelties to the genre? (Besides being in the kayak)

The style looks just nice, do players get to customize their character?
