Well, here we are. Beta time. The game so far is a Sims style “watch it grow” themed game where the focus is on a small (one might even say “tiny”) world whose inhabitants know of your existence as a deity. You have the ability to call upon Nature herself (even flooding the world if you want) to help bring your will upon Man. So far this is the feature list:

– Randomly generated villages with three (actually four) possible biomes, each with seperate spriting.
– Each ^ has its own individual dynamic population that affects its surroundings in some way (not fully implemented)
– Population growth rate depends on many variables and can become negative in certain circumstances
– In-game player interactive questions that provide pros or cons depending on your answer, which affect the world long term.
– A timer (located at the top right hand corner) displaying minutes and seconds left at the end of which causes the sun to supernovae, effectively ending the game
– A Global population counter in the top left hand corner of the screen, displaying all the individual dynamic populations in one number.
– If a village/dock or pyramid becomes large enough, the sprite changes and the growth rate is heightened ever so slightly.
– Tornadoes that spawn randomly throughout the world when activated by the player, adding “unholy taint” to your soul
– Meteorites spawned on player’s command that destroys a certain amount of population from each indiviual town, adding taint to your soul
– The great Flood, which wipes the earth and yourself clean of everything (Taint included) <- Only usable twice in a single game.
Three buttons that do absolutely nothing, labeled by a fissure, a skull and some lightning.
– “Holy Aura” and “Unholy Taint” expressed by numbers above your disaster abilities which influence certain aspects of the game.

There is obviously also more to it than just these functions mentioned above, so the dl link is here
(ignore the “city” sprites, they went all derp on me)
