Molyneux's Project Godus Kickstarter Ends, Meets Major Stretch Goal

The Kickstarter for Peter Molyneux's proposed god game Godus has officially ended, securing five of its six stretch goals before time ran out. See what additions the final game will get thanks to its generous contributors.

Earlier this week Godus was closing in on its first stretch goal with just under two days left in the fundraiser. The Kickstarter ended a few hours ago, with deveopement studio 22 Cans securing £526,563 in pledges, enough to cover five stretch goals. Here's what the extra cash will go towards:

  • Three additional single-player and multiplayer game modes
  • The ability to create your own sect, which 22 Cans calls "A deep social and competitive feature"
  • The game story will now be written by James Leach, a BAFTA award-winning writer
  • Multiplayer co-op and Possession mode, which 22 Cans describes as a first-person world-crafting mode.
  • Linux version

22 Cans fell roughly £24,000 short of its final stretch goal, which would have ensured an Ouya version of the game gets made.

The first-person world crafting mode sounds like the most interesting addition, especially considering Godus' unique visual style. We'll bring you more information on Godus as development now kicks into full swing. For more on what to expect, check out the descriptions and videos on the official Godus Kickstarter page.

  • Dang I would have been interested in an Ouya copy. I'm intrigued by the whole Ouya concept. I already paid for a system through Kickstarter. We'll see how it... er, "develops."
  • I kinda wish GI did a coverage on this before the campaign ended. Would have liked to contribute to something like this, sounds very interesting and ambitious.
  • If I had 24,000 euros to spare, I would have my Ouya version. I'm sorry, but I'm hopeful Ouya will be a breath of fresh air.

  • Any announcement about the pricing of the game?

  • Please stop giving Molyneux money. You know the game's gonna promise the world, just to be a disappointment full of fart jokes and a token dog.
  • in order to thank everyone, characteristic, novel style, varieties, low price and good quality, and the low sale price. Thank everyone

  • The fact that the game is being made is great enough for me, however the fact that these stretch goals were met also is extremely exciting.

  • :D

  • Here's to Pete maybe keeping his promises for once.
