Hi guys. I’m Toasteh and I’ve been working on a spiritual successor to the cult classic Black & White.
If you have questions, you can post them here or on the Discord.
About the game:
Deus Novum is a spiritual successor to Black & white, much like Stardew Valley is to the Harvest Moon series with a learning creature, a variety of powerful miracles, and villagers to convert. However, it differs from Black & White in a number of ways such as a focus on fighting against goblins and other enemies as opposed to trying to fight other gods for the worship of humanity. These goblins will launch a variety of targeted events on your villages, inspired by Rimworld. Kidnapping children, burning your crops, stealing from your storehouse, and more!
I’ve also tried to focus more on gameplay as I felt that was the weak point of Black & White. There are more miracles, different buildings that can empower your villagers, and you can set up prayer power networks using conduits which allows for some automation.
Overall, I’ve tried to use what worked in Black & White, replace what didn’t, and add new exciting features.

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
