Happy New Year, Contenders! 🎆
Welcome to 2026!
Before anything else, we want to say THANK YOU. Truly.
Thanks to everyone supporting GodsTV here on Kickstarter and across all our socials, and a massive shoutout to our 1,000+ contenders on Discord. Your support, memes, feedback, and unhinged energy keep the show going – we really couldn’t do this without you.
We took a short break during the holidays, and now we’re back locked and loaded, fully ready to SMASH this 2026.
Now… let’s talk about what’s coming next. 👇
🎮 KINNI PRIVATE PLAYTEST starts January 29
We couldn’t wait to tell you, and here it comes in all its blue glory:
The KINNI PRIVATE PLAYTEST goes live on January 29 and will run until February 2. Save the date! Get ready for a SPICYweekend in the arena!
All backers with an Alpha-eligible pledge will get access and receive:
Instructions on how to join
Access details for the build
A dedicated feedback loop
Exclusive testing channels on Discord
This playtest includes huge improvements:
You can now swap between characters in the Backstage
Kinni is fully playable
Many additional tweaks, fixes, and a surprise or two 👀
We’ll be hanging out on Discord, playing together and gathering feedback.
Not eligible for the playtest but still curious? We’ll be streaming directly from the arena on Discord, so come join us anyway!
Beta-eligible backers: stay tuned – You’ll get to play him VERY soon.
🗺️ Roadmap Update
Being an indie studio means we can (sometimes lol) take the time we need to improve things.
We looked at the schedule and decided to push things back a bit to polish, refine, and deliver the shiniest and delightfully chaotic show possible.
Nothing is set in stone (It’s Showbiz baby!), but here’s what you can expect:
Monthly playtests from now until the Early Access release
A brand-new public demo launching in April, open to everyone and their moms
Early Access planned for July, after the June Steam Next Fest
We’ll be announcing lots of cool stuff leading up to all of this, so keep your eyes peeled and visit our Discord often! 👁️📺

🚨 PRIVATE TEST Starts Nov 28 + Final Call for Late Pledges
10 months ago
– Sun, Nov 23, 2025 at 09:06:21 AM
Welcome back, Contenders!
The stage lights are heating up because the GodsTV PRIVATE TEST is about to begin, and only a chosen group will be entering the arena.
Plus, this month marks the final chance to jump aboard before Late Pledges close for good. Once the curtain falls, that’s it.
Let’s jump into the broadcast 👇
🎮 PRIVATE PLAYTEST starts November 28
It’s official: the PRIVATE TEST goes live on November 28, and all backers with an Alphaeligible pledge will gain access. It’ll run all Thanks Giving weekend!
This Private Test is a huge leap from the demo: More moves, more powers, more narrative, the Backstage is open, and the first steps of the progression.
We’ve added so much new stuff that we can’t wait to see your reactions and feedback!
Have a first look 👇
If you're among them: get ready. If you're not… you might still have one shot!
🏆 Want to Join the PRIVATE TEST? Win Your Spot
We’re running a special Community Challenge where a handful of extra contenders will win access to the Private Test! Create a post about your favorite contender, could be in writing, food, fanart, music… anything! Tag us with #godsgiving on Bluesky/X/Instagram so the gods can see it. You’ve got until Thursday 27th. Go claim your glory!
⏰ Last chance for Late Pledges
This is it, the real final window to support GodsTV through Kickstarter.
Late Pledges will close on November 30, and once they’re gone… they’re gone for good. There will be no reopening and no extended grace period this time.
If you’ve been on the fence, or waiting for “later”, this is literally your last shot to:
Secure exclusive tiers
Unlock physical rewards
Get limited upgrades before they're gone
Once the gate closes, there won’t be another chance. For everyone who joins now: welcome to the show. For those who miss it… we warned you, contender!
🛍️ BackerKit updated & smoother than ever
BackerKit is fully operational and we’ve polished it with all your early feedback:
Clearer questions
Fixed early bugs
Streamlined survey flow
BackerKit will remain open long after Kickstarter closes, well into the road toward delivery in Q1 2026, so you’ll have time to finalize shipping and extras.
And when the moment comes to close it, don’t worry: we’ll notify everyone loudly, repeatedly, and everywhere.
If you run into trouble, feel free to message us on Kickstarter or BackerKit. We’ll respond as soon as humanly possible, we’re a small team working hard to support everyone!

The Show Must Go On: Roadmap + New Trailer Drop 📺
12 months ago
– Wed, Oct 08, 2025 at 01:04:54 PM
Welcome back, Contender!
We’re back from the dev mines with a clear plan, a couple of important housekeeping notes, and a shiny new trailer. Let’s dive in! 👇
📨 Addons are Coming!!
Addons will be soon available for all backers through Backerkit! If you missed out on the latest skins this is your chance! In the next few weeks, you’ll get an email from Backerkit to finalize your pledge details (platform choices, shipping info, add-ons, etc.).
If you missed the campaign, the Late Pledge portal will remain open a bit longer so new Contenders can join the broadcast.
If you don’t see the survey when we announce it, check spam/promotions or ping us on Discord, we’ll make sure no contender is left behind!
📅 The Roadmap
Thanks to your six-figure chaos, the plan grew teeth. Here’s our high-level track so you know what’s coming and when. (Dates are targets; we’ll update if anything shifts.)
October 2025 – Secret community playtest kicks off. You’ll be the first to try the new chaos we’ve been cooking and help us tune what’s next.
February 2026 – We’re heading to Steam Next Fest with a brand-new public demo. Fresh cut, open for everyone, and we hope you’ll love it.
April 2026 – Early Access launch! The madness begins, and GodsTV finally goes live in the way it was meant to: raw, chaotic, and loud.
📺 New Trailer: Six One Indie Showcase Feature
We rolled out a brand-new trailer during the Six One Indie Showcase on September 18. Huge thanks to everyone for the warm reception and to those who joined us for the Discord watch party! This new trailer also teases a little wink at what’s brewing backstage. Check it out! 👇
If you played the demo, drop a short review (even a punchy one-liner).
These feed the algorithmic Gods and surface GodsTV to new mortals. Every wishlist sharpens the blade, every review tips the scales. Thank you!
Jump into Discord for art drops, instant official updates, and a brand-new (ahem, sweaty) NSFW channel for the bold ones. Follow us on socials for bite-size updates between these big posts too!

Thanks for keeping the lights hot and the ratings spiky. Back to work, we’ll make it worth the watch 🤟
