Peter Molyneux is perhaps best known for his Bullfrog titles such as Magic carpt and Populous, although more recently he has worked with Microsft on Projects such as Fable.
Recently Peter Molyneux has created a new Studio, 22Cans and they want to put out a reimagined Godgame.
The Kickstarter page reads:
"With GODUS we want to make a game in a culture of openness, co-operation and honesty. Creating a game involves imagination and passion, and we're keen to share the experience. So we want to make GODUS with you watching and, we hope, participating. Funding it via Kickstarter allows us to stay a small independent team with unlimited freedom in our creativity. It'll just be you, us and our unbridled dedication (no publishers).
You see, although GODUS is a new idea, we're keen to return to the spirit which started it all. In 1989, in a small, cramped office in Guildford, England, a hard-working and enthusiastic duo experimented, collaborated, took risks and came up with Populous, a game which would become a legend and which would launch the god game genre.
We're going to make GODUS in that same spirit. And your support will enable you to be involved at every stage as we share everything we do and learn with you. We'll produce video diaries, blogs, live streams, developer chats and a great deal more. We aim to end up with a truly delightful game and as you play it, you'll be able to say that you also played your part in its very creation...."
