I may be the only regular member of the IncGamers staff not playing Godus at the moment. Tim and Paul definitely are, so there’ll no doubt be some impressions on this week’s podcast and maybe a more in-depth written piece coming up about the beta status of Peter Molyneux’s return to the ‘God’ genre.
The game is on Steam in beta form, which of course means there’ll be a semi-regular patching schedule until Godus reaches its ‘release’ version. 22cans has today issued the first of those patches, updating the game to V1.2.1. It should apply itself to your game on Steam automatically, but if it doesn’t try the old right-click Godus in your Steam list, properties, local files, verify game cache technique.
Here’s what the patch changes. It apparently gives your Followers an improved sense of gravity, if “Less tripping of Followers animation” is to be believed.
- Followers will now build past 2000+ Followers
- Multi-clicking on Gem bug removed

- Abodes now only eject 1 follower at a time
- Less tripping of Followers animation
- Improved water surface
- Improved follower terrain response
- State of the Gem mine now saves
- Rebalancing of Gems in the mine
- Preparing the world for Bronze age farming
- Various icon revisions
