Fate of the Gods

Fate of the Gods is an in-development choose-your-own-adventure game by PayaLabs, led by Andru Cupala.

The player takes on the role of a Greek god and makes decisions that affect the god's fate and the fate of their followers. The game is designed to be replayable, with multiple paths and endings based on the player's choices.

Main Menu and Features

When the game starts, a window opens to the main menu. From there, the player can:

• Start a new game
• Load a save
• Change settings
• View available story paths

Project Structure

• main.py - Small launcher that calls app.main().
• app.py - Main game module and App class.
• pgiud.py - Bundled graphics/input engine used by the game.
• rbl.py - Removes blank lines from code files; used by format.sh.
• format.sh - Formatting helper for commits.
• requirements.txt - Python dependencies.
• assets/ - Bundled game content:
  • assets/fonts/ - UI fonts
  • assets/images/intro/ - Intro logos
  • assets/images/god/ - God portraits
  • assets/images/scene/ - Scene background images
  • assets/sounds/ - Sound effects and music
  • assets/data/gods/ - Story data files for each god
• data/ - Runtime data created and modified while the game runs:
  • data/settings.txt
  • data/saves/

Requirements and Running

Python: 3.12.10

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.

pgiud version 1.3 is included in the repository, so you do not need to install it separately.

From the repository root, run python main.py (recommended). Running python app.py also works because app.py exposes the same main() function.

Run Arguments and Runtime Data

Supported command-line options: --skip-intro, --remove-transparency, --disable-sound.

• Logging is currently initialized at DEBUG level in app.py.
• --level=X is not currently wired up by the runtime and is not documented as a supported option.
• The data/ folder is used for saves and settings and must remain writable.
• Save files can be cleared from the in-game settings menu.
• Story content is loaded from assets/data/gods/ at startup.

Notes

• The codebase is regularly formatted with format.sh.
• The repository currently contains assets/fonts/Silkscreen-Regular.ttf, while app.py references assets/fonts/Silkscene-Regular.ttf for the heading font. If startup fails while loading fonts, check this filename first.
