Don't forget that TGAGWCAGA will start in less than an hour from now!
As an aspiring cultist on their way to bring the end of the world, you will have many means at your disposal to reach your ultimate goal. Being grim and evil is not just about appearances, you know? Let’s talk about the real deal: the dark arts and the magic behind it! Rituals will be an essential part of your arsenal as a cultist, after all.
Blood is an important resource in the world of Worship. You will have to manage it carefully as it is both your life force and your ink bottle. Pay close attention to how much you’ll spill or you’ll leave yourself vulnerable for the next incoming attack! Fortunately for you, your followers are more than eager to share their own life force to aid in your grim endeavors.
Risk does come with better rewards. As you spill more blood and take more time to draw these bloody shapes on the ground, your magic will become more powerful. Casting a bigger ritual will allow it to have stronger effects. It also works the other way around too! Smaller shapes will result in a weaker ritual or less charges for your spells.
The game will be sure to tell you which kind of shape it recognizes while you draw. This helps you to know when your ritual is good enough to activate.
If you don’t see this little bubble pop up above your head after drawing a ritual, you’ll have to re-do it!
Combat is where all the action will take place. Maybe you'll have prepared your rituals beforehand or maybe you'll paint them right as the action happens. If that’s the case, your loyal mob will be here to distract your enemies while you work towards tipping the scale.
Offensive rituals are split into two categories: instant cast and active effects rituals.
Some puzzles and encounters will require you to spill that sweet, sweet, crimson juice in order to complete them. What kind of secrets will your precious blood uncover? 
The Painter module is one of the bigger types of content that features the blood drawing mechanic in one of its completion paths.
It is said that some rituals are so powerful that they require some great feats in order to be uncovered. Sealed Rituals are a bit stronger than your usual spells and are correspondingly tougher to unlock. Amongst them lies the Tribute ritual, which allows you to offer the bodies of slain enemies to your God.
Offer slain enemies to your god using the Tribute ritual. Obtain rewards in exchange for their bodies. And if you don’t have anything to offer to your god, you can still Tribute your own followers… eh eh eh. 
Through the blood of her so-called angels, the Deceit Weaver is able to bestow her devotees clad in white and gold with a glimpse of her powers. Within the blood of all four angels lies a fraction of Salithys’ abilities according to the aspect they represent: healing, control, power and illusion. In an act they consider sacred, bishops periodically collect blood from Valhyni and Nobilia. The amassed blood is then used in one of two ways to draw its eldritch properties.
Ulmira paid a high price for a small vial of angel blood in order to save her daughter Eleanor. 
That’s all you need to know about blood and rituals for now! Do you have a favorite ritual so far? What kind of drawing will you do once you get your hands on Worship? Do let us know in the comments section!
Hey Cultists! 
In today’s Dev Diary, we are looking into the combat system in Worship. Since Worship’s gameplay includes a lot of novelty in its mechanics, a little of context is needed to properly understand combat in the game. 
Followers are a multipurpose resource in Worship. During exploration, they will carry stuff, help you solve puzzle and interact with the world. They can even be used as a blood source to heal your Cultist. 
After a few hits, followers will be knocked down and vulnerable. Once they’re down, they are not quite dead yet, but they are most likely to die in a hit or two. If they survive, they will eventually get back up and automatically regenerate their missing health. They will also regenerate their hidden health bar out of combat. That, way, they’ll be fresh and ready to take more hits for your next bloodshed! 
To prevent losing followers, you can still recall your followers to dodge powerful attacks while they are standing. Be wary, if they get knocked down, you will not be able to recall them back until they get back up by themselves. 
Followers are able to damage enemies when they’re fighting, but it is not the most effective way to defeat enemies. Unless you have an overwhelmingly amount of them, obviously. 
It can be counter intuitive, especially for new players, to use your own resources (either your health or the life of a follower) to draw blood symbols while you have a bunch of enemies trying to kill you. But even then, rituals are the most powerful actions a player can use to defeat enemies. You cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, as the saying goes…
Your Followers will buy you time, enough for you to draw these bloody shapes on the ground and activating them. Rituals are the key for you to win fights quickly while preventing too many casualties on your side. 
In terms of size, obviously, the bigger the drawing is, the bigger the amount of blood spent. Players will be rewarded by having certain aspects of the rituals scaling depending on the size of a shape. Obviously, for any area of effects, it’s easy to imagine why you would draw a bigger shape. For active effects rituals, we can scale it in different ways. For exemple, for the Ghastly Claw ritual, a bigger size will give a higher number of charges. 
Finally, these adorable followers are multipurpose. They’re also throwable! 
Other than being really funny, throwing a follower will slightly damage the enemies, but it can also interrupt some attacks. Some abilities will grey out the health bar of the enemies and display a variable number of shields over it while they charge up the attack. During that time, enemies don’t take any damage but, by throwing followers to the enemies while they’re charging, you can destroy their shields. If you manage to destroy all the shields before the attack releases, you’ll cancel it and slightly stun your target.
Some rituals will also be effective to destroy shields. 
Cultist has a way to directly damage enemies without the use of followers or rituals. With a simple input, you can cast a small damaging spell to attack your enemies. 
You will have to be careful with this attack, since every eldritch power has a price. Using this attack will cost you blood. It is meant to be an emergency tool if combat goes dire. 
To summarize, the “rules” of design we establish are the following: use followers to crowd control, use rituals to damage enemies and throw your followers to interrupt attacks. 
During your run, you will stumble upon worm-filled crystals called Catalysts. They can be used to spawn buildings granting you upgrades for your cult. By unlocking new powers, you will eventually unlock abilities which will let you break those rules. A pretty straight forward example would be an upgrade to your follower damage, but it can take various forms too.
An upgrade we currently have is the Follower Piercing upgrade, which let followers pass through enemies when you throw them, making it a lot more efficient to damage multiple enemies during combat.
We are eager to see what kind of builds and upgrades combinations players will create to surprise us.
Psst! This is a quick announcement that we have something quite exciting for you on October 28th. See you then!
Greetings, Cultists!
