Project GODUS - A reinvention of Populous ( Strategy/god sim ) + Kickstarter

In the last month or so we've had some incredible games come up on Kickstarter, however it just got better as a game called Project GODUS from 22cans and Peter Molyneux has been announced. You might ask why should some of us care?, well it looks to be a Reinvention of Populous for today's systems!. Populous was a computer game developed by Bullfrog in 1989 and is regarded by many as the first PC God game also winning a lot of awards in 1991.

 Here's a quote from the developer(s) which should wet your appetite

Populous was created over 22 years ago, and we believe that to date, nothing has come close to emulating its powerfully godlike experience. It’s this experience we aim to reimagine. GODUS blends the power, growth and scope of Populous with the detailed construction and multiplayer excitement of Dungeon Keeper and the intuitive interface and technical innovation of Black & White. The original Populous hailed from the 8-bit era but GODUS will use the most modern technology the world has to offer. 

• It’s a living world, unique and detailed. And it’s a world you influence, whether you’re good or evil.
• GODUS is instantly accessible, easy to learn but immensely deep.
• As you flourish and build your own cult, you’ll engage in pitched battles with other gods and their cults. It’s a multiplayer power-struggle the way it should be.
• GODUS draws on the cunning battle-psychology of Dungeon Keeper, the living, changing world of Black & White and the instinctive, satisfying gameplay of Populous.
• Plus you get to be a god. In fact, play well and you get to be the ultimate god!
• GODUS will be developed for the PC and Mobile devices, we hope to be able to add more platforms as our Kickstarter campaign progresses.

 These developers need atleast $400k and I hope they make it, so head over to this kickstarter page and PLEDGE! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus
