Unleash Your Inner God of Construction in 'Builders of Divinity'

Season 1 · Episode 61

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 • Duration 32:13

Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!

In this episode of The Gaming Blender, Matt and Scott discuss the concept of an open-world physics-based crafting game. They imagine a game where players take on the role of an architect or mason in different historical eras, tasked with building grand structures using basic materials and techniques. The game would require players to navigate the laws of physics and overcome challenges specific to each structure. They also discuss the idea of gamifying the learning process by incorporating RPG elements and allowing players to learn different building techniques. The replayability of the game is discussed, with the suggestion of adding free DLC to introduce new buildings and challenges. Builders of Divinity is an open-world game where players take on the role of gods of construction. The game is set in a world where the human race lives for a certain period of time with its gods, and when civilization reaches its end, the world resets and new gods are born. Players play as Barry/Susan, a newly appointed god of construction, who must learn on the job by building things for the human race. However, they soon discover that the ancient gods are trying to break the cycle and come back to power. The game combines physics-based building mechanics, crafting, and an underdog story.

Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!

Fasten your seatbelts for a high-octane brainstorming session, where we ditch the typical MMO fare for a wild ride featuring vehicle-based gameplay and an assassin targeting mechanics. Scott and I conjure up a universe where strategic target selection meets the thrill of the chase.

We chart a course through the tempestuous seas of World War II naval warfare, conceptualising an MMO where every periscope peek and torpedo launch intensifies the already palpable tension. Picture a world teeming with rivalries, narrative-rich vendettas, and strategic oceanic battles. It's a place where friendships are forged in the fires of war, and every decision has the weight of history behind it. All aboard for a strategic voyage replete with submarines, ships, and the relentless pursuit of victory.
