Hi! I'd love to share The Whims of the Gods with you - a cooperative city-building simulator with elements of strategy, logistics, and survival. In this world, it's not just about resources and planning - your fate also lies in the hands of ancient gods who watch your every move.
In The Whims of the Gods, I’ve combined core elements of classic city-builders - settlement growth, production chains, and citizen needs - with constant external challenges: natural disasters, threats from the mountains, and divine intervention. It’s all built around two-player co-op, where success depends on coordination and teamwork.

Key Features:
Two-player co-op
The game is designed around collaboration. One player might handle logistics and construction, the other focuses on defense and tech. Clear role division is essential for survival.
Production chains and resource management
From housing to advanced production, you manage the city’s economy and supply lines, constantly adjusting to shifting conditions.
Auto-battle defense system
Creatures from the mountains periodically attack your city. Battles resolve automatically, but the outcome depends on how well you’ve prepared - with the right buildings, upgrades, and strategy.
Event calendar
An in-game event calendar alerts you to upcoming disasters, epidemics, monster raids, or bumper crops. You’ll need to plan ahead, build appropriate infrastructure, and prepare accordingly.
Religion and divine influence
The gods aren’t just watching - they get involved. You can build temples, earn blessings, and gain powerful effects… assuming the gods are pleased with your actions.
Volcanic pressure
An eruption is looming. It’s more than just an endgame event - it acts as a countdown timer, pushing you to act efficiently and meet divine goals before it’s too late.
Multiple endings
Your city’s fate depends on your choices. Will it thrive, or fall to ash and chaos?
If you're into thoughtful, atmospheric city-builders with co-op mechanics and dynamic challenges, I’d be happy to hear your feedback - or just chat about city-building games in general!
