Michael Flynn releases 'Gods of Havoc: Fall to Earth', a tribute to the forgotten god game genre.

A game so far removed from it's RPG Maker roots that the RM Forum staff required pictorial proof of it's construction in the engine before they'd allow it to be posted on the site.

Conceived and created by a single developer, 'Gods of Havoc: fall to Earth' is the second in a completed trilogy of games which sets the player up as a god to a fledgling civilisation.

“In a gaming atmosphere where simulation is highly regarded, the lack of traditional god games is puzzling,” said Michael Flynn. “Having grown up loving Mega-drive god games like Populous, Power Monger and Megalomania, I've never understood why the genre seemed to die out. The 'Gods of Havoc' trilogy is my solution to this gaming oversight.” Each game is set in a different era of a civilisations history, where the need for, and belief in, gods might be beneficial.

At the core of each game is a empire building simulation in which, regardless of player input, a civilisation will spread across the map, colonising, building, waging wars, creating terrible machines, and converting other races. Gods of these races will try to stop them by summoning space monsters, warping space, ordering crusades and empowering crusaders, creating magical fortresses, and causing natural disasters. As a god, the player is also equipped with these powers and must use them to counteract, and defeat the other gods and their followers.


Michael has been asked often, “why a threefold launch?”

“Creating three different games in the same engine has allowed me to cut down creation time while still creating games with very different strategies, enemies, and aesthetics,” he replied. Adding that, “it also allows players to chose their favourite setting (space, medieval, or post-apocalyptic), and enables me to offer each at a piously low priceof $7.99 per game.

He's also been asked repeatedly, “why RPG Maker?”

“The latest iteration in the series, RPG Maker MV, is quite a ways removed from the older versions. Switching from Ruby to JS means a far more versatile engine, which I hope can be seen in these games. Also, it's simply what I'm familiar with.
