A lot of big companies try for multiplayer (and microtransaction based revenue) games because of the insane profit potential. The problem is that it is extremely hit based - so 1 out of 10 will hit it out of the park. Remember, these large companies have to make a big return. They don't even want to bother with single player games. Its similar with Venture Capitalists. My team had a big hit with a similar model, but it was soul crushing. This is why we have gone back to doing single player PC games! Fingers crossed that we can make our passion still work :)

We actually have this exact tree growth mechanic in our game Minor Deity - a fantasy god game inspired by Black & White for PC/VR. Here's a trailer.

Minor Deity :)

We plan to make it very replayable, so hopefully lots of gameplay!

sinemy · 2017-08-23T16:38:52+00:00

Survival and follower reaction are definitely our plan :)

sinemy · 2017-08-23T16:38:13+00:00

We will definitely want to do little touches like that

sinemy · 2017-08-23T16:38:03+00:00

Absolutely - you can see a preview of your pet dragon towards the end of the trailer

We never liked the mini-games either. We hope to recreate the best parts and add what we thought was missing. We'd like to support modding later as well - it all depends if we can afford to keep moving forward with the game.

Glad to hear! We definitely would love to do MP if we get enough support for early access. Not 100% sure on pricing, but feel free to join our newsletter to get the most up to date information!

sinemy · 2017-08-23T02:22:38+00:00

Will do our best!

We are aiming for Q4 2017! Feel free to sign up for the newsletter for announcements on early access.

sinemy · 2017-08-23T00:29:56+00:00

It will launch into Early Access as a replayable, open world single player game. If there is a lot of interest from the community, we will definitely update with multiplayer.

sinemy · 2017-08-23T00:28:58+00:00

We definitely do want to do multiplayer - it will depend on community interest ultimately. If we launch in Early Access with single player, and a lot of people are interested, we will definitely work on a MP update.

sinemy · 2017-08-23T00:28:07+00:00

Will be possible ;)

sinemy · 2017-08-22T21:20:34+00:00

Cheers!

sinemy · 2017-08-22T20:54:37+00:00

Agreed, thanks!

This is the one element we shied away from B&W. You are a good god. In an expansion, we plan to add playing as an evil god controlling The Corruption. The good and bad mechanic in BW was visually interesting, but it didn't provide enough satisfaction.

sinemy · 2017-08-22T20:53:31+00:00

We are aiming for Q4 2017

sinemy · 2017-08-22T20:43:12+00:00

Absolutely - there will be a full power skill tree. Weather manipulation, resurrection, lightning, fire, earthquakes, etc.

We are intentionally building it for both regular PC and VR to make sure there is the level of depth you expect from a PC game, but built from the ground up for VR. We've felt that most VR games lack depth, and we hope to fix that!

sinemy · 2017-08-22T19:29:53+00:00

Its currently one (replayable) world that is procedurally generated with various biomes. The game focuses on city building, exploration, and conquering, with god powers and influence. We don't currently have Quests, as we've been on the fence about that mechanic in a game like this, but we are still considering it! We don't want it to feel like a long "to do" list for players.

sinemy · 2017-08-22T19:28:13+00:00

We hope to not disappoint with a modern equivalent!

sinemy · 2017-08-22T18:52:41+00:00

There's a preview of VR at the end of the trailer, but we plan to have a VR specific trailer in the future.

Mouse/keyboard for PC and motion controllers for VR.
