Do note that because this is an early preview launch thing (don't want to call this early access), the rulebook is in a beta state (will be finalized on actual launch).

EARLY RELEASE TOMORROW!

Hi all! The official release date is on September 30th (next monday), but for those following this blog, I'm giving you special access to both the game and Discord on the 24th of September at around 10 pm UTC (i am terrible with timezones so it might come out later)!

Hi all! Battle for Godhood is always evolving, and so is its logo. I've made this redesign to it and I want to know your opinion!

Is there a way to join as an artist?

Absolutely! I'd be ecstatic to feature art from the community on the cards (in fact I've had to add new demons that weren't planned to sets because there was art that was too good to pass on).

Just shoot me a DM on tumblr or discord (thegreatsire) and we can sort out the nitty gritty.

DO NOTE that because this is a nonprofit passion project made by one person in their spare time (me), I won't be able to provide royalties or monetary compensation for using your artwork.

A bit of a roadmap for the future

WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE

[battleforgodhood]

hey i like what you're doing, is there any kind of real way to play or is it all just conceptual

There is indeed a way to play it! In fact myself and a few playtesters have been doing test runs of games since about November last year.

Initially it's planned to release as a mod for Tabletop Simulator but a full standalone release is planned if there is enough support for the base project.

I understand that the bar for entry is a bit high (considering the price for Tabletop Sim) but this TCG is built to be played in person, hence why all the damage numbers and HP values are simple and straightforward, and why I've made a lot of cuts to the system over the months of development (trust me I would go wild with mechanics if it was digital only).

I might make a bit of a dev timeline because I want to show off how far the project has come in terms of quality, if anyone is interested in that.

tl;dr It'll be on Tabletop Sim and maybe as a fully fledged multiplayer game release because I don't think there's ever been a live PvP Megaten game aside from the old DDS TCG.

Hi all! It's my pleasure to announce that Battle for Godhood will now feature art on certain Elite cards from the brilliant Alonso (aka @magicallydeclined )! Please check their gorgeous work out!

[battleforgodhood]

It has been a while, has it not? Don't worry, we've been hard at work throughout these past months continuing to playtest and polish the experience, as well as working on the rulebook itself.

The Steam page looks mighty wonderful in my humble opinion, and I'm very glad to see the development finally come close to an end.

Here's some promotional images from the Steam page.

As well as the description:

And the updated playmat:

And finally, the first page of the rulebook (not final):

Thank you everyone!

Morer Demons! This time, a look at the Lv2 Demons.

Sorry for not uploading anything for a while everyone! I've been playtesting a lot recently and rewriting the rulebook more times than I can count this past week as I always come up with a way to tinker the wording or add an image to explain a mechanic. Expect the rulebook release in August (alongside the full game)!

More Demons! This time, a look at the Lv1 Demons.
