The First Gods Overview

The First Gods is a grimdark strategy/RPG hybrid set in a young world, where you step into the role of a mysterious being destined to guide a fragile tribe through the ages—until it becomes a civilization. Endure famine, war, the cruelty of the wild, and the schemes of rival godlings as you shape the lands and peoples around you… and discover how their fear, faith, and desire will shape what kind of god you ultimately become.

Developer Notes:

New update — woohoo!
If it’s your first time here: hi, welcome! If it’s not: same deal as last time. Please feel free to send feedback on anything and everything. I genuinely love reading it, so keep it coming. I added a new Raid system so it will probably need some tweaks balance wise.

A couple of important notes for this version:

Android is no longer supported, unfortunately. The shiny new UI features made it too unstable to maintain properly.
For the best experience, I strongly recommend Firefox or Chrome on a Full HD+ screen (1920×1080 or above).
If you’re using a different browser or resolution and run into issues, please tell me what broke (and how) — it helps me address it down the pipeline.
I highly recommend you play in fullscreen for the best experience(F11 for most browsers

Features:

Turn-based tribe survival management— plan each season, spend Action Points, and watch your camp live (or collapse) from the consequences.
Dynamic economy loop— balance Population, Food, Resources, Goods, Belief
Stability & Zeal systems— social order and faith drift over time, changing growth, morale, and how strong your tribe feels.
Tile-based overworld— every camp location has **Terrain / Game / Resources / Raid Danger**, shaping what strategies actually work.
Camp migration— Migrate around the map, exploiting local resources, and enjoy the nomadic lifestyle of the first age!
Living tribes on the map — hostile or friendly groups with temperament, mood, and relations that evolve across turns.
Character-driven checks — Wisdom/Strength/Endurance/Leadership/Charisma/Stewardship influence outcomes and key moments.
Quest & major-event framework — structured objectives and “major events” that add narrative and erotic flavour.
Much more to come!- This update only covers the basic loop of the first Early tribal age, with the game planning to have 5 ages in total with differing, evolving mechanics!
