Young Evil Lion - Hair Shader Test
GODS!
Thank you so much for waiting so patiently the last few weeks. As you might already know, one of our developers was away due to injury, and some of the team members were also away due to summer vacation, etc.
Anyhow, we are nearing the date to ship out the physical items. The goal is to lock the current orders on August 30th, 2019, and start manufacturing the items beginning September 1st, 2019. If you didn't complete the survey yet, make sure you do that soon.
These dates are not set in stone. If you complete the surveys sooner, we will be able to iron them out sooner and ship the products to you accordingly.
# Dev Update
Now, let's recap where we left off and what we are working on currently.
We received some feedback from the community, and most of you weren't too fond of the lion creature and felt that he could use some revision. Initially, we planned to allow your creatures to grow from childhood to adulthood. But we thought it would be a nice touch to add an aging morph of some sort to the creatures.
Gameplay-wise your creatures will remain fast, strong, and powerful, but as time goes on, your creature will grow old, and their outside appearance will reflect that. You will have the option to change the creature's age via a console command thanks to Unreal Engine ;)
We also added the Gorilla creature and currently ironing out the Ape creature! You can see the Gorilla creature and the Young/Evil lion in the video below. In the next update you will see the fully grown lion with his majestic mane!
# Environment & Animals AI
The last sprint our main focus was on developing the AI for the environment (animals, birds, wind, etc.). So far they are believable, and no reported bugs have been found. However, we will revisit them at a later time for further enhancements.
# Custom 3D Models
Those of you ordered the custom 3D models you will hear from us shortly. Our goal is to push them out and make them game ready before the beta is out :).
# Creature Battle AI & Manual Controls
Our primary focus of this sprint is going to be the creature battle system. Initially, the creatures were not appropriately scaled, and the animations were not working as expected. So, we modified the 3D models and tested the animations in our 3D modeling app. You can see some clips in the video above.
Our next step is to import all the possible moves to Unreal Engine and tie them with the AI. Hopefully, in the next update, we can show you a gameplay video of the creature battles!
It's been an exciting week at Roosevelt Games, LLC and we can't wait to show you more! Thank you so much for your patience and your support!

🔥 GODS! 🔥
We hope you have been doing well and ready for the demos we will be releasing throughout the week. Last few weeks, we accomplished the following:
✅ Surveys have been sent out via BackerKit.
✅ An IndieGoGo campaign has been launched for those who missed out on the Kickstarter.
✅ Brown Bear & Ape Creature 3D Models are complete & game ready.
✅ All animations with scaling issues have been resolved.
✅ Water/ocean effects have been added to the levels.
✅ Land Animal AI (e.g., Pigs, Wolves, Deers, etc.) are complete (roaming, eating, attacking, dying, etc.)
✅ Some custom 3D model requests have been fulfilled.
✅ Due to the popular demand, we added tails to all the creatures :D
✅ Creature health indicator has been added. We will add a shortcut to hide such information if you want.
✅ Infinite Zoom has been added.
Survey Deadlines 📅
You have until August 30, 2019, to finalize your BackerKit survey. Afterward, we will lock all the orders and start manufacturing the physical items and get them ready for a shipment. Those who ordered a custom 3D model, we will contact you shortly to collect any samples you might have to start the design process.
For today's dev update, here's a short video showing the land animals in action and how the creatures can grow and shrink in size when they want to walk among the humans or when it's time for a nap. It's not much, but we will be releasing more videos throughout the week.
Shoutout to Zak! 😎
Also, we want to give a shoutout to Zak, one of the original GODS backers for launching a fansite and a community forum dedicated to this project. Your dedication and support for this project have been incredible, and it's always wonderful to see an active community going leaps and bounds to make this project a success!

GODS!
We hope you are doing well. And if you are from the United States, then we hope that you have a wonderful memorial day weekend planned for yourself and your family.
You will be glad to know we migrated all the backers to BackerKit.com. This is the platform we will use to process all your physical items, and you will be able to customize your pledges or order additional add-ons as you please. Also, if you are eligible for a reward tier upgrade, your account is upgraded there as well.
We submitted the GODS project to BackerKit.com for the final approval, and once it's active, we will send out the surveys to start shipping out the physical items.
Since it's the memorial day weekend, the approval might not come through today, but you can expect a survey from us through BackerKit early next week.
Have a wonderful weekend!

GODS!
Our apologies for the delay. The Development of GODS is still going well, and we will have a couple of clips for you to see by the end of the week.
We are thrilled to announce that AMC's NewsWatch featured GODS on their morning show earlier today! You can see the segment below:
The amount of support and exposure GODS received was all due to you, and the extra steps you took to share the game.
Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to making GODS for you.
Towards the end of the week, we will send out the surveys and give you access to our fulfillment website so that you can make any customization to your pledges or order any additional items you might desire :).
Our goal is to ship out the physical items as soon as possible and keep you posted every 2-3 weeks with the game development.

GODS!
It has been one of the best 30 days of our lives! With your valiant support, we were able to surpass the Kickstarter goal and unlock the ULTIMATE GOD MODE stretch goal! We couldn't have done it without you!
The Ultimate God mode will feature the following:
Two New Lands: The storyline will be expanded to 5 lands! (previously 3)
Three New Creatures: Cow, Brown Bear and an Ape!
Hardened game mode: Enemy Gods will be more powerful, resources will be low, creatures will forget their skills and miracles will take longer to regenerate.
What's the game plan?
We work in sprints and always commit to deliver something by the end of two weeks. So, every two weeks you can expect to see gameplay videos, demos, or screenshots from the game engine.
