Hello everyone! We are so excited that we will soon be able to show you our finished game but in the meanwhile heres our last public test build! But keep in mind, there are still bugs we need to fix, features we want to fully implement and polish that needs to be done. During this last intensive period before the launch, we want to hear from you! This is the last chance we have time to react to your feedback before release so we appreciate if you can lend us a hand.

What the build contains

New features

Fortunes and Misfortunes are events that challenges your playstyle. Suddenly you have to deal with a work strike or a poor harvest.
Minimap clips is a new feedback system. Fortunes and Misfortunes are announced to the player by showing a mini-video in the minimap. This is still a work in progress but the functionality is there.
New requirements to unlock follower districts
Death statistics in the underworld

Overhaul

New monument: The Conviction
Splash window: New association now pauses the game
Camera controls fixes
Minimap navigation fixes
No festivals in unfaithful cities
Saves are re-enabled (will not carry over to the relaunch build, but please try that it works)

Other

Several major and minor bugs have been fixed
The tutorial is disabled in this version of the game (were working on a new one)

How to Get It

[olist]

Right click on the game in your library and select properties.

Go to BETAS in the tab.

From the drop down menu select "public_testing".

The game will overwrite your current build (if you have it installed), wait for it to update and then you're ready to go.[/olist]

What to Keep in Mind

This is the last public test build before launch
The game could break or crash, more often than in the main build.
If you have a save from the main official build on Steam and change it to the test build your save file will be deleted and/or overwritten if you press "New Game" in the test build branch. If you switch back to the official build again the same happens as well, but for the test build.
Saves will break during development of the test build, the main branch will be left untouched until release of the Relaunch.
Features are missing.
It's unpolished, unfinished and buggy.
Art, GUI, animations and VFX are missing in parts, for example the association system is still missing most of their illustrations.

Please Leave Feedback

The more feedback we get the better, we have opened a secret group on our Discord called "#divine-testing" which anyone can join if you ask Martin, please remember that we won't be online during the weekend. If you prefer to leave feedback on the Steam forum or somewhere else on social media please do so, but please be specific that you're talking about the relaunch test build and not the main game so as not to confuse others in the community. :) https://discord.gg/ecs Thank you for the continued support. Have a nice weekend and enjoy the build! // Martin & Eat Create Sleep

Pitch

Welcome to Crest, a god game where you are as a parent to your children. Your only way of communication with your subjects is commandments you write for them. How these commandments are interpreted and remembered are not set in stone. What you write and what experiences they have with the environment is the basis for their religion. You might find that your people will change on their own accord over time and use your commandments for their own devices.

You have an indirect control of your people with your commandments; consequences of your actions may not always be clear and you will need to be aware of the ever-changing environment and your people's disposition, amongst others their disposition towards you. Expressing yourself is the key of Crest; you will do so through your people and the world they shape.

Key Features

Write rules for your subjects which will have interesting consequences.
Many different ways to express your divinity which will be reflected in your followers.
Immersive feedback which will show you the progress of your people and create a rich history.
Procedurally generated game world which changes over time and shows wear and tear.
An expressive game without end-goal where you can focus on building your legacy.
Your people have free will, focus on leading them rather than controlling their every move.
Emergent world where weather, vegetation, mineral deposits, drought and animal behavior will create surprises.

Progression and Losing

Every new world you start is unique; you can't have multiple saves of it so you will have to think carefully of what you want to do. If your people die off that world is gone forever as a playable save file. However, you will be able to view the legacy of your old worlds. As long as your people live you can continue playing, and as you progress create your own history.

Setting

Crest is an Afrofuturist game that reimagines how humanity arose in the cradle of humankind on the African continent. It's a historical themed game that tries to emulate an advanced iron age civilization that could have existed a few thousand years ago. The setting for the game world, its flora and fauna is based on African biomes, with rainfall determining the tug-of-war between desert, savanna and jungle.
