Demigod

[Island Dog]

I wanted to make an "official" post for Demigod, since the beta is moving right along.

What is Demigod?

"Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon."

Screenshots?

Check out more here.

Need more info?

Check out the official website

Where will it be available?

At retail locations and digital download via Impulse. Pre-ordering gives access to the current beta.

Looks pretty cool. I've heard absolutely nothing about this game, so I'm just basing this on the screenshots. But, Stardock and company did a fantastic job with SoaSE, so I'll keep an eye on this game.

Very interesting. I too haven't heard about this game but the screenshots look really good. I have high hopes for this game because Sins of a Solar Empire was amazing.

PS: The screenshots have 64x AA applied, haha. :p

[chillaaa]

It looks good. Something new for an enhanced Supreme Commander engine to rip apart peoples machines eh?

Once again I have not heard about this game until you posted this thread.

Looks like something I would try out, can't wait to get more details.

[Sigurd]

From the screenshots it looks pretty cool, will keep an eye on this.

[Matrix XII]

I know nothing about this game as well, but those screens look pretty tasty

[puppetsteer]

Wow, first time I've heard of this game too. Looks really interesting, just hoping it wouldn't rape my system.

[Golferjim]

Just like everyone else I have heard nothing about this game, and as I was looking around your post " Demigod" was just there all the time up the top, and I have finally had a look, ha ha :laugh: .

The screen shots do not look that bad, almost looks like Warhammer fantasy meets Warhammer 40k. Wonder if there is any video footage about this out, or is it still in development on paper?

[Island Dog]

I don't believe there is any videos at this time, but when some are released it will be posted. :)

Looks like a mix of RPG/FPS and weirdness lol, I think it will be fun!

[mundox]

Looks like DOTA made into a real game :p

[Konstanov]

Battle Teaser, first watched this video when it came out a few days ago and that's when I started digging for more info. By the way, Frogboy if you guys are going to release a demo, send me a pm with the download link as soon it's out, I want to play...... :woot: .

[PricklyPoo]

Whoa looks cool!

So what's new? Here is a partial list:

1. Password obfuscation is in! Yay! So is tabbing between controls.

2. Various display issues corrected.

3. Sedna got some balancing

4. Citadel upgrade costs increased

5. Flag control multipliers enhanced: If you have 60% of flags, your war score increases by 2X and if you have 75% of the flags, it goes up by 4X.

6. Lots of work done on multiplayer connectivity (see below).

7. Audio quality controls added.

8. Some arena tweaks

9. Some sound and voiceover tweaks

How do we get into beta?

[BlackSteyrAug]

I've heard nothing about this except that it's a real "genre bender" and it looks interesting to try out. Your link to beta info does not work, and does anyone else know how to get beta? I am really interested.

One sure fire way to get beta is to pre-order the game for full price.

Forget that.

[Island Dog]

If you pre-order the game, you get access to the current beta.

IGN has a blog up which starts to tell the story of Demigod.

Isn't this the game based off of DoTA?

[Minimoose]

Saw an article on this years ago, I can't believe it hasn't come out yet :p Looks very good, I'll probably try it out.

[El Marto]

am downloading the beta as we speak. so will let you all know what it shapes up like!

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

How does Stardock do downloads, do you need to install a downloader like EA, or do they give a normal downloaded file?

[Lant]

You need to use Impulse (which has been compared to Steam) to download the game and the updates.

[BlackSteyrAug]

Isn't this the game based off of DoTA?

They say it isn't but I think it might be. Same premise. This will probably blow DotA out the water though. This looks interesting to say the least.

Playing the beta right now, not many servers and games to play...still waiting..
