Really hope this lives up to it potential

From what I've seen so far, they have been working on all kinds of things that we have been hoping for in Godus. Of course, no one can be the judge until the alpha build comes out (which should be somewhere around this fall) but I must say I have a pretty good feeling about this one.

Glad to hear it Wishing your team all the best. I, for one, am very excited to see where your project will end up.

The scene has been without a proper god-game for far too long in my opinion. I too backed Godus in hope of something that would fill the gap, and was sorely disappointed.

I suppose if I'm forced to be specific, the short answer is: all of it? 

If I may, I would say that I look forward to a game that has a deep simulation that evolves on its own that I get to play with by giving it my own influence. Sort of.

I think what is important to many sims, god games in particular, is for your followers/peeps to have individual traits.

That helps make a stronger connection between the player and their simulated people.



This, to me, looks more promising than the artwork - but I like the art as well.

A lot of what I have seen of The Universim so far has suggested that there is an actual core design vision - the team knows what they want to make. A lot of Early Access and similar games have trouble when they try to do anything but tick off boxes on a checklist, which lately has gone into a rash of bad The Asylum-like knock-offs (the numerous space sims that manage to do one thing okay and everything else mediocre to non-existent, then the faddish changes from kidnapping sims with dinosaurs to kidnapping sims with zombies to kidnapping sims in medieval themes for another...genre). Pick whichever has the features you most desire, but most of them generally just wander in circles trying to scrape up anything truly their own while trying to add in Feature X and Feature Y the developers saw in another game, just for reason of having the mechanic, and as a result have a very...lethargic development cycle as nothing is truly planned.

Crytivo have a lot to show on a regular basis that it suggests development is going along well with a destination firmly in mind, and so that looks favourable and quite a contrast to a number of other developers.

I can foresee this game's alpha to spark off FAR more interest and attention to the game, which so far I think is rightfully deserved since Crytivo routinely shares the results of their work...and so far I'm not seeing anything that is setting off my personal warning alarms.
