For those of you eager for a god game that offers genuine creative control, this update is exactly what you’ve been asking for. After sharing our demo at Steam NextFest, we took in a lot of your feedback. The key takeaway?

You want more freedom, interaction, and a world that reacts to your influence. We’ve taken your feedback to heart and implemented various substantial changes to give you just that.

So we checked our timetable again, reprioritized, squeezed additional budget out of our great publisher, and went back to work!

And this is what we have delivered:

• Free building
  
• Advanced physics
  
• Damage resources to extract stones
  
• Throw items like stones, gold nuggets and trees
  
• Grab and plant trees
  
• Advanced mortal reaction system
  
• Cutscene sneak peek
  
• Quests
  
• Tutorial Manager

---

Build the way you want with our new free building system.

You can start building by choosing a building from the shortcut menu and a nice location. Hold the left mouse button to rotate the building.

Does your desired building already exist? Then, you can drag and drop the building!

The road is created automatically, so you do not have to bother yourself with such micromanagement stuff if you do not want to!

---

We further advanced the physics of the game. You can now damage resources to get throwable items. These items can be used to damage buildings or crush mortals. The choice is up to you. If your throw is good enough, you may achieve both.

But you can also collect the resource nuggets and send them as a gift (boring!).

Is your village missing some trees, or does a tree just bother you? No worries. Grab the tree, look for another place that suits him, and place him there. The mortals will be happy!

---

You are a god. Everything you do influences the world. And so does the reaction of the mortals. Do something good, and they will cheer. Do something bad, and they will be scared.

---

The narrative of Fata Deum will be told via special cutscenes and in-game quest scenes.
Just take a look 🙂

---

A first round of quests is now implemented. As we continue developing, more quests will enter the game. There will be many ways to accomplish a quest. And for those who don't care about them, no worries, you can mostly ignore them, too.

---

We have received a lot of feedback from you regarding the tutorial. Some of you wanted to start playing immediately without it; others had the problem that they sometimes missed or skipped it while playing.

So, we redesigned the tutorial flow to let you decide how and when to proceed.

With every new ability you learn, you will be asked if you want to do a tutorial or not instead of just pushing you to do it. Furthermore, we added three new tutorial buttons: “Pause”; “Skip”; “Go Back”. You can use these to watch the last sentence again, pause, or skip the tutorial.

Pressing the Imp will open our new tutorial menu. All tutorials in the game are displayed here as soon as you have unlocked them. You now have the freedom to do tutorials whenever you like!

---

OK, this was a lot, wasn’t it? :)

And it was worth the effort!

But yes, it takes time..

We want to give you the best experience on day one. Therefore, we will push the release window to 2025 to implement your great feedback and ensure the game is polished.

Thanks again for your patience!

The god game genre will be back in 2025!
