The game was published by Feral Interactive in for Mac OS. The player acts as a god and takes control over villages. The goal is to defeat Nemesis, a god wanting to destroy all others and take over the world.
Multiplayer is supported over a local network or online. Peter Molyneux led the three-year development of the highly anticipated game, originally to feature wizards instead of gods. Versions for games consoles were in development, but cancelled. Some reviewers re-reviewed the game and considered it over-rated. The player takes on the role of a god ruling over an island populated by various tribes. Control is manifested in the animated, on-screen Hand, that is used to throw people and objects, tap houses to wake their occupants, cast miracles, and perform other actions.
Key items in the story are gold and silver scrolls. Gold ones initiate a significant event, and silver ones detail a task to perform and the reward upon completion. The land, interface including the Handand music change according to that alignment. There are two advisers, one good and the other evil, who try to persuade the player to do things their way.
Buildings are created in the Workshop by manufacturing blueprints, using wood to create scaffolds. Villagers then employ the material to build the structures. A village belongs to one of eight tribes, such as NorseCelticor Japaneseeach having a different Wonder providing different benefits.
If the Temple is destroyed, the game is lost. The Temple is surrounded by sites where villagers worship, generating the power needed to cast miracles.
Villagers require feeding and healing or rest during worship. The general goal of a level is to gain control over every village on an island, accomplished through acts that persuade the villagers to believe in the player.
Villagers can be swayed by everything from assistance with day-to-day tasks to being terrorised by fireballs and lightning storms. For example, if boulders fly overhead too frequently, their effect is lost. This forces the player to use multiple methods to convert a village. In multiplayer mode, deathmatch and cooperative modes are available. Three are available to select from near the beginning of the game and others can be obtained by completing Silver Reward Scrolls.
The currently-owned creature can be swapped with a new one at certain points in the game if the player desires. The creature starts out small, and grows as the game progresses. Each has strengths and weaknesses: As a god, the player can teach their creature to perform tasks such as stocking the village store or performing miracles. The creature is taught what and when to eat, and how to attack or impress enemy villages.
Fighting skills may be taught in one-on-one battles with other creatures; attack and defence abilities can be improved. Teaching is performed using a reinforcement learning system: On the other hand, if the creature does something the player approves of, it can be stroked.
The creature remembers the response to various actions and gradually changes its behaviour accordingly. Three types of leashes are used to command the creature to go to a specific place, and can be tied to a building to restrict movement.
One leash encourages the creature to pay attention when actions are demonstrated; the others encourage either benevolent or malevolent behaviour. Statistics are available at the Creature Cave in the Temple. Evil wolves sport glowing eyes and large fangs and claws; good ones turn a shade of purple and glow gently.
A creature forms an intention by combining desires, opinions, and beliefs. Beliefs are attributed to lists that store data about various world objects.
Desires are goals the creature wants to fulfill, expressed as simplified perceptrons. Opinions describe ways of satisfying a desire using decision trees. For each desire, the creature selects the belief with the best opinion, thus forming an intention or goal.
After saving their drowning son, the god follows the grateful family to their village. A large creature is later discovered who tells of its former master, a god named Nemesis, who desires to reign supreme as the one true god by destroying all others. The player is told of the Creed—an energy source with the ability to destroy gods. Nemesis then destroys his former creature and attacks the village.
A mysterious vortex opens that the player enters to escape Nemesis, black white 3. The player is transported to a second island and greeted by another god, Khazar. Later, Nemesis destroys Khazar and steals his piece of the Creed. In the third land, the creature is held in stasis by three magical pillars. After the creature is freed, Lethys grants the player a piece of the Creed and opens a vortex where another can be found.
The player returns to the first land, now cursed by Nemesis; fireballs and lightning rain from the sky. After the curses are lifted by destroying the three guardian stones, each powering a curse, and the piece of the Creed is claimed, Nemesis appears, inviting the player to his realm.
When the final piece of the Creed is obtained, the player destroys Nemesis, and is left as the only god in the world. Peter Molyneux funded the project himself and personally devoted his entire focus on the period of development.
Molyneux had liked the idea of controlling people as a god since his previous venture, Populous. Development was slow, starting with six people, as Molyneux wanted to assemble the right team. The expanded nine-person team exchanged suggestions for the game and its content, including ideas such as lip-synchronised characters, although this was thought impossible.
According to Molyneux, team members questioned and competed with each other, resulting in a better quality of work than expected. He described the workload saying "the team did the work of a group twice their number. The game crashed multiple times; Molyneux fixed the bugs using Microsoft Developer Studio before restarting. He instructed the programmers to "Make it the most beautiful engine ever conceived by anybody, ever".
The entire game, including the tools and librarieswas written from scratch. A trial and error approach was taken: Mistakes were considered costly, and the programmers found better ways of coding. They also resisted using control panelsicons and buttons for casting miracles, preferring a gesture system.
Molyneux commented that he would have been very disappointed if the system was dumped, but in the end, they got the feature working "beautifully". Integrating the storyline was found to draw the player through the game in an unexpected manner, which led to the development of characters like Sable, the Creature trainer, and the advisers.
Molyneux commented that they wanted to "advance the technology to its extreme", and artificial intelligence specialist Richard Evans built the technology into a character, which according to Molyneux appeared to "live and learn like, say, a clever puppy". Molyneux desired the creature to pass the Turing testwhich had not yet been achieved.
A great deal of effort was devoted to getting features such as the weather import working. The game was originally to feature battling wizards, who would have had creatures originally named Titans to raise, and be powered by belief. A key idea was the ability to turn living beings into Titans.
Early visualisations featured the Horned Reaper from Dungeon Keeper representing Titans. The team wanted the player to see the world from the same perspective as possessing a creature in Dungeon Keeper. Molyneux wanted "limitless flexibility" and the ability to zoom out to see the world from the sky. The idea to have the player play the role of a god came when it was realised that humans could not wield the power, and could be judged by higher powers. The idea that the player could turn living beings into Titans was dropped because of problems such as certain Titans having obvious advantages over others.
Temples were originally named Citadels and some sported a mediaeval, fairy tale look. The team estimated two months, but soon realised they lacked the necessary skills to meet this deadline.
A system was developed that moved their mouths into common phoneme shapes, used as a basis to turn them into graphic equalisers that move into shapes according to the sounds being played. This facilitated localisation, as the game was to be translated into fifteen languages.
Both advisers were voiced by Marc Silkcutting the recording time by roughly half. The game was supposed to reach the alpha stage by 18 June, but by summer, it became clear that development was behind schedule, and the release date was pushed back to 10 November.
In September, it was pushed back again intoangering fans who were eagerly awaiting its release. Molyneux apologised for the delay. Alpha was reached in December Multiplayer mode nearly had to be dropped for this to happen, but the problems were fixed just in time.
Electronic Arts became involved in the production; testers were employed they found three thousand bugslocalisations were checked, and a marketing campaign was launched. Fearing the bugs could kill the game, lists were sent to every member of the team, who had a chart, updated daily.
The biggest problem was the final set, and fixing them created more bugs. The end product was so large that they "almost felt lost within the code" which consisted of over a million lines, and took over an hour to compile.
Electronic Arts complained that the age at which the villagers were reproducing was below the age of consent for some countries, so this had to be changed. Molyneux credited fans for making the hardest times worthwhile.
The team exceeded the desired look leading Molyneux to opine that they might have been "insanely ambitious" in this regard, because the system requirements were high and much custom software needed to be written.
He also commented that the last months of development were "the hardest any of us has ever had to work", and that "without the right team, this game never would have happened. Later development was done using other custom software.
The Gatheringwas in development, and would have enabled creatures to interact those of other players in a cut-down game environment over the internet. It would have linked with chat programs such as AOL instant messenger and ICQ and convert text to a speech bubble from the creature.

A PlayStation version was in development and scheduled for release in summer[65] and a Dreamcast version in late A company called M4 was to have co-developed them alongside Lionhead, but Electronic Arts was not interested in the Game Boy versions.
Uniqueness and originality garnered critical praise. Craig Wessel of GameSpy felt the game is a unique and enjoyable strategy game.
