Fata Deum | Patch 13 | Now Live On The Beta Branch!

Patch 13 is now available on the Beta Branch!

We’ve been hard at work expanding and polishing the experience while continuing our intensive development on the upcoming Hero Possession Mode - more on that in the next news post!

Along the way, we’ve introduced several exciting improvements and new features to make your time in the world even more engaging.

Two brand-new Drawing Wonders have arrived: Earthquake and Create Stones.

Earthquakes:

Unleash devastating tremors that send the ground shaking and demolish multiple buildings at once—let the mortals truly fear the power of the earth!

Or take a more benevolent approach and conjure additional stones to provide your followers with the resources they need to thrive.

Create Stones:

Elemental Orbs have also received their own dedicated shortcut category, making them easier and faster to access during gameplay.

We’ve also made major improvements to the day and night cycle.

The differences between phases have been significantly reduced by removing mana reduction mechanics and making most manipulations available during the day as well.

The remaining actions will be updated soon, meaning you’ll soon be able to perform any godly action whenever you want, without having to wait for the next phase.

On top of that, we’ve been carefully listening to your feedback.

This helped us identify a long list of smaller gameplay improvements that together make a big difference.

From enhanced collection mechanics and refined AI behavior to improved visuals and numerous bug fixes, many areas of the game have been polished—and we’ll keep refining them.

And of course, development doesn’t stop there. We’re continuing to work on the progression system to make your divine journey even more rewarding.

Stay tuned—there’s much more to come.
