    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    I want to release the best game I can. I’m sure we’ll keep supporting it and adding smaller stuff. A larger expansion would depend on whether there’s an audience and what the appetite is (including with the actor who does the VO, I suppose). Honestly I would like to move on to making a new...

    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    Yes, I know no straw ever actually broke a camel's back. All the same, and Socrates notwithstanding, at some point the tolerable life depends on respecting your superstitions, rituals, and traditions rather than trying to coral them into reason. But, anyway, that particular discomfort is offset...

    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    That’s a fair concern but I don’t think anything I do is “leading” any race anywhere. If you go on Steam and examine the volume of “free to play” or “freemium” or very inexpensive games, I think the market is what it is. On its best day I don’t expect FG to occupy more than a minuscule portion...

    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    The three issues with a free release: - As noted, I want the team to have a deserved commercial credit. It’s trickier for them to say “even though it’s free, I was paid thousands of bucks, promise!” - If I want to self-fund another project out of game-dev income rather than lawyer income...

    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    Always intended to be commercial, but from the outset I wanted to preserve the option to give it away. I don’t love selling games—for the most part, people who buy them need the money more than I do. But with Primordia, Strangeland, and the failed Cloudscape project, we did profit sharing. Once...

    In Progress Let's Play: Fallen Gods

    There are certainly various insult exchanges in the game, including regarding the god's manliness. I don't believe there are any instances where you can be insulted, leave, and return because very few events persist that way. Walking away from an insult typically bears more immediate...

    In Progress Let's Play: Fallen Gods

    Jaedar I think as a technical matter, it is possible for some runs to generate in such a way that certain victory paths are practically not available. For instance, I have had runs where I couldn't find any armor (though maybe that was just bad luck in certain events) and thus couldn't get the...

    > not sure what is your take My take on Current Event X? That I normally don't have anything meaningful to add to the conversation about Current Event X, so I don't, even though there's often pressure on game devs to take one side or the other of every Current Event. The only soapbox I'll never...

    In Progress Let's Play: Fallen Gods

    Darth Roxor No less impressive than your LPs of Primordia and Strangeland. "The shill is coming from inside the house!" Haba There are five victory paths, and the only run you saw was one where the Songbridge wasn't a viable option, so I don't think it railroads. Of the five, I'd say it's my...

    Fallen Gods - upcoming Norse saga-inspired roguelite from Wormwood Studios

    Yep! We've now run the gamut of American, German, Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Russian illustrators (not to mention Brazilian and Australian). We are a veritable United Nations of starving artists.

    Hope the LP is successful, and thanks for the kind words. Meanwhile, belatedly, James Spanos.
