30 Years of God Game History | Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Spore and more

Описание к видео 30 Years of God Game History | Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Spore and more

Get Populous, Dungeon Keeper and 100+ other games on my GOG Partner page ► http://indigogaming.link/
Let's take a journey through time, from the beeps and bloops of the 1980's to the modern day in PLAYING GOD - a documentary covering 30 years of god simulation games. From industry legends like Peter Molyneux and Will Wright, to independent or even solo games, the God Game has been a beloved but underappreciated genre that deserves a thorough exploration.

This is my 2nd feature-length video and my longest and most ambitious production to date, so I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it!
