Peter Molyneux Unveils God Game On Kickstarter
Peter Molyneux is best known as the godfather of the god game simulator. Now, the Populous creator is going back to his roots with a new Kickstarter project.
Today 22cans revealed Godus, a reinvention of Populous that involves creating and destroying the world around you. According to Molyneux, "Godus blends the power, growth and scope of Populous with the detailed construction and multiplayer excitement of Dungeon Keeper and the intuitive interface and technical innovation of Black & White." Your goal is to become the ultimate god and raise a legion of followers to overcome your rival god’s kingdoms.
If the studio meets its goal of £450,000 by December 21, it plans to release the game on PC and mobile platforms. To find out more about Godus, head to 22cans' Kickstarter page.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
