Creo God Simulator - Preview

Creo God Simulator is an upcoming settlement God game by 8-bit Bento, created out of a love for games such as Black and White and Populous. Development started a little under a year ago and the game recently launched a Kickstarter campaign. As it is still quite early in the development cycle this is very much a first look preview and all of this is subject to change.
You have recently become a lesser god (congratulations!) and now need to build your civilisation. You start with a small number of items available (the usual suspects of residences, wood cutter and quarry) and will develop over time. As your civilisation advances and your skills as a god improve, you will have access to a wider selection of items and even god powers with which you can choose to smite your society, although beware the enemy god who can be a bit unpredictable at times!

The plaza with a small temple to encourage loyalty |
The first thing you need to do is to place your plaza which will become the centre point of your settlement. From here you can build, expand and manage your society, hopefully picking up some believers on the way. The game is very much a sandbox type game, however with resource management, in that there are currently no objectives. You simply have an area which you want to populate and develop in the way that you choose. This includes collecting wood, stone and metals but also ensuring the needs of your populous are met with food etc.

A developed settlement |
As people build their belief in you as their god, you will gain Willpower. This allows you to use your god abilities. At the time of writing I have only been able to experience two. Do you want to be a caring god and bring rain to the crops to provide food and sustinence, or are you a vengeful god who wants to reign destruction with meteors? The choice, as they say, is yours. You may want to combine these and bring some good times, but also remind people who is in charge. Each of the people who live in your realm have free will and may choose to believe you (and increase your willpower) or not, so there may be times where you cause destruction strategically if your number of believers is low.
