What's been happening this week?

This week the team have working hard at polishing off a Combat build for an internal preview that, if successful, will be pushed to our Opt-In testing branch early next week! Most of the initial time consuming groundwork has been implemented and the team are now focusing on challenging artificial intelligence, tricky GUI elements and Annah's awesome art assets.

Thanks Jack!

As you may have heard, Jack Attridge - one of the original Godus co-designers left the 22cans team this week. He's off to start his own gaming venture after years of mentoring from Peter Molyneux and the rest of the team. Before Jack left, he was in charge of finishing off the 22cans Documentary mentioned in our Kickstarter.

Keep an eye out for this in the near future!

Good Luck Jack!

Fancy New Godus Combat Art!

Annah has created two new bits of Godus artwork and they're combat themed! He's a little glimpse at the sort of destruction that you can come to expect from the combat found in the final version.

Godus Opt-In Developer Builds

With all this talk of Godus Combat and Opt-In builds, we thought it might be time to remind the community about how to access our often buggy but feature packed Developer Builds! Please remember that these builds are meant for testing and might include all kinds of bugs that haven't been swatted by Martin yet!

Now is the perfect opportunity to dive in to Opt-In!

How to Opt In to Developer Builds

If you'd like to participate in our regular developer builds, just follow the easy instructions below.

• Go to your Steam Library
• Right click on GODUS and select "Properties"
• Click on the "Betas" tab
• Enter your beta access code, which is ‘22canstester'
• Click "Check Code"
• Click on the dropdown menu and make sure “releasetest” is selected
• Hit "Close" and you're all set

At this point it's probably a good time to mention that players should create a back up of their Godus save games. In the event of a nasty bug, they'll be able to revert back with minimal problems!

• Select "Properties"

Konrad's Korner

This week Konrad returned from his travels around Japan. After guzzling many of the sweets and goodies he brought back, we managed to ask him a few questions from community members regarding Combat!

Here's a look at Richard's AI in motion! Here the computer AI is creating, squishing and evolving their follower lands. You can see that Richard isn't actually controlling it as the mouse pointer is completely stationary!
