PLAYERS' OPINIONS ABOUT THE DEMO
MS
A charming co-op city-builder with a mythological twist. Manage resources, perform rituals, and survive divine whims on a tropical island. A promising start, especially for co-op fans
BrooklynBanana
The world needs more coop games, and this could be a neat one. I'll follow the release to see where it goes
Kyusus
Overall, that's a pretty decent game with unique aesthetics. Would rate it 8/10. Waiting for the full release
Zūru
Good demo, can't wait for the full release, first good coop of this kind I've seen!
About the Game
🏠 CITY OF DREAMS
Build your city and watch it grow. Become a leader of the emerging civilization!
We, the Ancient Whimsical Gods, have given you a goal! You must build a vibrant ancient metropolis, satisfy the needs of its inhabitants, and efficiently process the resources obtained. Do you think it will be easy? Maybe creating houses or warehouses for storing food will not be a challenge, but building complex production systems, growing plants, and breeding animals are not the easiest tasks. And we will watch how badly you fail…
🧑🤝🧑 CO-OP CITY BUILDER
Take part in a cooperative game with another player. Join forces to create a thriving metropolis!
As the Great Creators of this Steam tab, we wanted to add that The Whims of the Gods features a unique co-op system in the genre. Instead of competing, cooperate. However, remember that even the best players can have conflicts.
⚔️ A MOUNTAIN FULL OF DANGERS
Battle terrifying enemies crawling from the heart of the mountain. Defend your city at all costs!
We allowed players to activate special abilities during battles, such as mass healing or dealing increased damage to enemies, depending on the technological advances and buildings placed in the city. We like watching people kill each other. We eat popcorn while we do it…
📅 CHRONICLE OF DESTINY
Explore the mystical calendar that shapes your fate, revealing upcoming events!
We Gods say to you, little creatures - prepare your city for the coming situations, to avoid the painful consequences that - yes - we will send upon you! At one time, you will build hospitals for sick citizens, and at another time, warehouses to accommodate exceptionally fertile crops.
🌋 THE ANGER OF THE VOLCANO
Face the relentless fury of an impending volcanic eruption!
Time is running out before your fledgling civilization's destruction. Fulfill our whims! Trade with us to buy more time before the coming cataclysm! Maybe you'll gain our trust, or maybe... no, you won't outsmart us!
MAIN FEATURES
🏝️ The game offers cooperative gameplay for two players, allowing them to build an ancient city together. Because we will allow it!
🏝️ The implemented combat module based on auto-battler mechanics serves to defend the city from a growing threat, and the key decision system allows players to determine their role in the development of the city and how they will develop it technologically. And in fact, it is we who will allow it, not any system!
🏝️ An extensive religion mode that will allow players to appeal to the deities and receive blessings from them. And this is the best feature.
🏝️ A special calendar that predicts future events, such as monster attacks, natural disasters, abundant harvests, and many others. Although we like to surprise the villagers, the development team made sacrifices to get us to agree. And we are bribed!
🏝️ Possibility to unlock different game endings

It means that we're participating in this festival alongside a group of top-tier indie games in their respective categories. And where can you watch one of the largest indie game showcases in Asia? Below! :) For those who have never heard about our game, a quick reminder: in The Whims of the Gods, you will step into the shoes of ancient city pioneers, building and protecting a thriving metropolis. Team up with another player, manage your city’s needs, fortify its defenses, and fend off threats from deep within the volcano. Oh, and don’t forget about the whims of the gods - they are not exactly fans of your efforts! If you wanna try our demo (in single or online co-op mode), you know what to do... BUT the version you'll find in the link below isn't the latest. A lot has changed since then, and our entire development team has put a ton of work into updating the game and adding brand new, never-before-seen features. Have fun with our demo, but please don't rate us. Unless it's positive, of course ;) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2960200/The_Whims_of_the_Gods_Demo/ Let us know in the comments if you’ve added the game to your wishlist.

Let's look at the backstage #6
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44987954/eb8722cdaea66ab1c8da03d17cd8107600b78511.jpg Hello city-builder fans! Welcome to another episode of “Let’s look at the backstage”, where we reveal what’s happening behind the curtain of our production, showcase dev work, share concept art, and show off mechanics coming to the final game. But hey! Life isn’t only about serious stuff. And since we are definitely humans (despite rumors), let’s laugh together at… The Whims of the Gods! Here are four hilarious bugs that made us both cry and giggle. Thankfully, most of them are already long gone! OK, citizens! Let's go! HAMMER IN THE WORKER'S HEAD {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44987954/de859dded9aa56c1e6a261cfcba11dccecde365f.gif Ever told your boss: “Sorry, I’m not coming in today, I’ve got a horrible headache”? Well, whether the pain comes from tiredness… or a hammer inside your skull, our villagers never try that excuse. Definitely not because they don’t have phones! Here’s what’s going on: every tool used by workers is “attached” to their bodies in specific points called sockets. These are fixed spots on a character’s skeleton - like the hand, spine, etc. Each socket has its own position and rotation, and tools themselves don’t always have a perfect center. Combine those two and boom! A hammer in the brain. Game logic approved. A TRUE MASTER OF CHILL {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44987954/cad04c2342ad3046dd1b74dcc4d127e1ba1f9c32.gif Look at this guy. He works by resting and rests by working. Even Michael Jackson’s moonwalk seems easy compared to carrying a heavy basket… while sitting in the air. What caused this? Characters play different animations based on states like “resting,” “carrying items,” or “gathering resources.” Those states include standing, sitting, and crouching — depending on where the action takes place. Our chill worker was sent to a warehouse with a full basket while he was still sitting in the wrong part of the building. The game thought he was still resting… even though he was clearly on dut...Read full article on Community Announcements (pjg)Community & EventsOfficial
