July 29, 201411 yr Expressive god game; write rules for your people to follow and see how their history will develop. Crest's method of input is writing commandments. These commandments are rule sets for your followers, describing what actions they should take if certain conditions are met. Commandments can be used as orders. Safety valves to deal with possible future situations. They can be linked together to create more defined outcomes amongst other things. How your followers will respond to your commandments is not a sure thing however. Followers have many attributes that deal with how they interact with your commandments. They may forget your commandments. Revert back to how they used to live their lives once a commandment fades from memory. They may even take what words you have written and translate them to try and extract the real meaning behind it. See how their vision of their God develops and how they attempt to figure out your grand master plan for them. :: Seeking backers at Indiegogo here. Also looking for Greenlighting here.
July 30, 201411 yr Fritz is a German soldier in the trenches of WW1. Bond with trenchmates and fend off the French in this PC game. Every choice matters.
