Demo Available! Steam Next Fest! Publishing Deal Signed!

Fata Deum

Inspired by the god games of old, Fata Deum lets you mold settlements and townsfolk in your image. Will you raise the settlements to splendor, or spur them on to violent debauchery and demons? Watch as a living world grows under your whims.

Yes, correct! Starting today until the end of the Steam Next Fest (28.02.2022) the Fata Deum demo is available! So, jump in and have fun 😊 [previewyoutube=yWLX1rr0mfE;full][/previewyoutube] The demo is available in 12 different languages and includes all currently available features! The game and the demo improved a lot since the last demo period during Gamescom 2021. Based on your feedback we improved controls and tutorial significantly, removed bugs, added new features, improved performance and added a localization! In addition, you can now play one day longer as before (demo ends after 6 days). We are looking forward to your feedback! Let’s make this game great! [b]Hooded Horse is Publishing Fata Deum[/b] We are very proud to announce that Hooded Horse Inc., an indie publisher focusing on simulation, strategy and RPG games, is publishing Fata Deum!

In addition, they boost the development with additional funding! So that are definitely great news! [b]Current Progress[/b] The AI is still getting smarter but needs additional work to get finished. Preparations for the Steam Next Fest and negotiations regarding a publisher deal have been quite time intensive, but no time has been wasted! The localization of main parts of the game for 11 different languages was also quite time intensive, but has now been finished!

With additional budget and less work for 42 Bits Entertainment on marketing aspects the development can get a real final boost before going into EA. While we have lost some time to get a deal signed (and finding the right Publisher, of course), this will have a great positive impact on the game on long-term. We will need some time to check the feedback from the Steam Next Fest (once the party is over) and get additional people on board the dev team. Therefore, we have decided to move the release date to a more general “coming 2022”. Once we are very certain on the final release date, we will provide you an update! Enjoy the demo!
