Godus Mobile Players

Where's Android release?! =P

^{_{also don't forget your towel.}}

I heartily support the initiative of this thread. rubgish, I'm leaving you in charge of it. Don't let me down.

EDIT: I stickied the thread for you until further notice. We'll see how it goes.

I don't think so.

Yes it does.

No idea.

While you're at it, if you know of any place where mobile players tend to gather, feel free to recruit them.

I was thinking more of on-line locations, but that could work too.

Looks like some of the targeted audience aren't too happy. Check the comments in particular.

This one's pretty amusing as is this one.

People are simply not as naive as PM had hoped. We all understand that cozy=small, vintage=old and Invest to play regenesis of a god game=watered mobile f2p on a PC platform.

and so, we have the Y/denture cream/frozen yogurt....I will hold out my final judgement till we get the X/toothpaste/ice cream.


This game with these timers should never have been released even as a F2p, it is insulting to even Farmville players. This is massive greed pure and simple. I think it has overstepped, even on SO, when they say a mine will take 2 hours to build, it takes 2 hours, pretty much exactly. The longest timer I can think of takes about 12 hours and that is for an explorer to find a treasure, not really needed for main gameplay. The rest of the timers range from 2 minutes to 4 hours. Much more reasonable for those players that wish to play with paying more and yet still generates good coin for the DEVs by those that are not willing to wait. When you have timers as long as Godus then this is just a smack in the face and tantamount to a knife to your throat, play it our way or pay extra. For now, fuck that. That is not a game, that is punishment. I have more much fun things to do like pay my taxes, reconcile my debt and scrubbing the toilet than "play" Godus with these F2p mechanics still running rampant through it.

I am also going to say that if this game is not really in it's final stages, then it should not have been released. 

I will remain hopeful for whenever the real PC sprint happens.

If there is nothing to do then why play it? Games are supposed to have stuff to do. I can sit and stare at my walls all day for the same amount of fun.

Exactly. The hand holding is very bothersome. It's obvious to everyone on both platforms, which does not bode well for future success. They need to drop most of it from the PC game, or at least offer a "Skip Tutorial" option on both platforms.

And you can actually do those things while "playing" Godus, because of all the stinking timers and waiting.
Again, exactly. This doesn't seem like a typical "Beta" release, because it appears so very far from being even close to what most people would expect a beta to be - still, even after more than a year of development and player feedback, it feels like an early pre-beta at best. The progress just seems so random and disjointed, I can't see any path towards a completed coherent game (at least not one I'd want to play). It's very different from v1.0 and yet still suffers much of the same problems; they've just changed how we experience and interact with those problems. And, as I've said before, I actually had more fun playing v1.3, so this almost feels like they're just changing things for the sake of making it appear they've progressed the development.

I can't say I'm really all that hopeful anymore, because it's just way past my usual level of patience; I'm more optimistically ambivalent now, with a smidgen of cynical.
