About this game
Embrace Your Divine Role
In Masters of Gaia, step into the role of a deity with unparalleled power over the natural world. Shape landscapes, summon rivers, ignite volcanoes, and unleash lightning to guide your followers' destiny. This modern god game revitalizes a genre where your influence is vast, but control is indirect.
A Living, Breathing World
Your followers are autonomous beings, evolving and expanding their civilizations without direct commands. They will cultivate lands, build structures, and interact with their environment based on their needs and ambitions. Your divine interventions—whether nurturing or destructive—will steer their development and survival.
Balance Progress and Nature
As your followers advance, their activities may disrupt the natural balance—deforestation, pollution, and overexpansion can awaken Gaia's fury. Neglecting the environment can lead to natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms, serving as reminders of nature's supremacy. Strive to harmonize human progress with ecological preservation to maintain stability.
Dynamic Challenges
Beyond environmental concerns, your followers will face seasonal changes, unpredictable weather, rival clans, and mythical creatures such as dragons. Your strategic influence will be crucial in helping them navigate these challenges, ensuring their resilience and prosperity.
Key Features:
Divine Terrain Manipulation: Sculpt mountains, carve rivers, grow forests, and summon volcanoes to shape the world.
Autonomous Civilizations: Witness your followers develop independently, reacting to the environment and your interventions.
Environmental Consequences: Monitor the impact of civilization on nature and mitigate Gaia's wrath through careful balance.
Dynamic Challenges: Guide your followers through changing seasons, harsh weather, rival tribes, and legendary monsters.
Strategic Influence: Employ a variety of divine powers to support, punish, or redirect your followers without direct control.
Reviving the God Game Genre
Masters of Gaia breathes new life into the god game genre, offering players the thrill of omnipotence coupled with the challenge of indirect control. Fans of classics like Populous, Black & White, and From Dust will find familiar themes reimagined for a contemporary gaming experience.
Will You Be a Benevolent Guardian or a Vengeful Deity?
The fate of your followers and the world they inhabit rests in your hands. Nurture their growth with compassion or discipline them with nature's fury. In Masters of Gaia, the choice is yours, and the consequences are profound.

DevLog: when devs speak to players...
In Masters Of Gaia, your followers will quickly try to protect themselves from harsh weather and other catastrophes that will befall them. They will thus begin to build shelters with the first elements they find nearby. But this is no ordinary city-builder. Here, the city doesn’t rise from blueprints and perfect planning—it grows organically, forged by the will of your people… and guided by your divine hand. You may choose to bless their efforts, beautify what they create, or tear down what dares to defy your vision. This is their world to build. But it is yours to shape. Key PointsThe creation of cities will be influenced by many parameters: Technology Technology will allow for the construction of increasingly robust buildings, made of stone, glass, and other elaborate materials. Houses will be taller and able to accommodate more people, which is an advantage for avoiding excessive sprawl and preserving nature, something Gaia will appreciate! Their BehaviorFollowers will have specific behaviors as well as common traits, which you can try to influence to some extent. Are your followers orderly and conscientious? Then your cities will have straight streets with right-angle intersections, like the Romans. Or are they a little more poetic and dreamlike? The streets will tend to twist and form beautiful curves. They might have more charm but be slightly less dense. Each style has its advantages and disadvantages; it's up to you to discover them! Their LoyaltyYour followers have their free will and will sometimes make it clear! You will occasionally have to forbid them from building in a certain sacred area (for example, a forest that Gaia wants to preserve at all costs), but it's not guaranteed they'll always listen to you! You'll need to regularly monitor where they extend their city, and you might even have to destroy part of their creation. This could have a more or less lasting impact on your relationship with your followers. From Humble Huts to Grand Cities Your mi...Read full article on Community Announcements (flios)AnnouncementsOfficial

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45584859/40edfac17d66f02a931fe10e1587f31ddcc6bb50.png In Masters Of Gaia, your followers will face a diverse array of threats: from wandering monsters and watchful treasure guardians to mystic creatures, and even clashes with other believers. As a God, you'll have the power to guide and protect them through these trials – or perhaps choose a different path entirely. We're working diligently to deliver a unique and engaging experience as you navigate these divine choices. AI : tailored for our needs For the AI, we built our own system in C++ from scratch, allowing us to tailor it exactly to the needs of our game. It handles creature behavior both in the open world and during combat. The system is highly configurable through Lua (we'll be speaking about Lua in Masters of Gaia very soon), making it easy for us to tweak and create a wide variety of behaviors for each creature. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45584859/36e4ddd03bc60439a9f90e67c5272c99b1f40664.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45584859/839991e7cd3247050beaaca87e650058c21e85a6.png Between human and ants Imagine a crowd somewhere between individual humans and a bustling ant colony. When danger looms, these believers are most likely to scatter and run! Given the hundreds populating our cities, we had to build AI systems that could replicate large-scale crowd reactions. We envisioned their behavior as a blend of human reaction and the collective instinct of an ant hive. And you, the player, can shape this behavior. Through your efforts and magical powers, you can instill courage in them. However, a touch of randomness within each believer will always ensure unexpected encounters. Your ligntnings and fire bolts can help, too, but you will soon discover that damages can spread all across the battlefield... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45584859/ca81402002e5ee73b046ed9d9daaf6402f1932a1.png Battle avatar For the combat system, we needed to balance fights between one (or a few) monster(s) and a large group of believers, while ensu...Read full article on Community Announcements (flios)AnnouncementsOfficial
Making Masters of Gaia - Weekly sneak peek
Hey everyone! We’re happy to share with you a quick behind-the-scenes look at something we’ve been building lately: combat in Masters of Gaia. We imagined something interesting for the combat that will create fun strategical patterns. When danger appears — whether it's a wild beast or a pair of angry giant spiders — the most appropriate character is selected to face the threat. But he might not be alone. Behind him, additional supporters channel their energy, empowering the defender with collective strength. Think of it like a spiritual support system: the more believers around, the stronger your frontline champion becomes. This system lets us create dynamic fights where the quality of faith and positioning matters more than brute numbers. We’re still tuning the visuals and balance, but it's already really fun to test ! Here are a few early screenshots showing this in action. Let us know what you think! We’ll be posting more updates like this as we build toward Early Access. And if you haven’t already — don’t forget to add Masters of Gaia to your wishlist!
