GodsTV - Smash for Fame in This Madcap 90’s Killfest

Created by Melbot Studios

Meet a vibrant cast of characters in this frantic action game with zero chill where Gods feed off of fame and fame is a weapon.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Late pledges and next steps!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 28, 2025 at 10:03:43 AM

Welcome back, Contenders! 📺🔥

Kickstarter is OVER!! And although the main broadcast may be over, reruns are still rolling, and Late Pledges are officially OPEN!

Go Fetch your Rewards Now!

Not every reward is available still, that’s true, but you can still get your Kickstarter Exclusives: Swimsuit Skins and Goldchitama for all backers and that sweet merch we cooked for y’all.

That means if you (or your cousin, neighbor, or goldfish) missed the live chaos of the Kickstarter, there’s still a way to jump in. Every Late Pledge helps us crank the amps higher, push the game further, and add even more absurdity to the (already pretty silly) GodsTV’s feature list.

So don’t just sit in the audience, grab your Late Pledge and help us keep breaking the game industry script.

Roadmap

About that roadmap… 📅🛠️

Your overpowered support blew up our scope (in the best way), so we’re re-tuning the schedule to reflect the upgraded feature set. We’ll share the full, pretty version in our next update, aiming for September so you get dates that actually match reality. Thanks for the patience while we sharpen the plan. 🙏✨

Challenge Rewards & Kickstarter Surveys

Community champs, you’re up next! 🏆🎨🎮

We’ll DM prize winners from the Draw/Render/Speedrun challenges over the next few days. Kickstarter surveys will land later, closer to when physical rewards and timelines are locked. Thank you for the patience …and the works of ART! 💘

Gamescom

We parked GodsTV at the Indie Arena Booth and your feedback hit like a thunderclap — playtests, hot takes, and a mountain of wishlists. Thank you to everyone who swung by, chatted, and ran the demo into the ground. Your energy fuels the next sprint ⚡

Discord

Over the next few days we’ll be rolling out Discord roles (thanks for the patience!). We’re also cooking up fresh Discord-only antic (events, peeks, and polls). Now’s the perfect time to jump in and grab a seat near the cameras 🎥💬

Friends of the Show — Phi: The Broken Strings 🎭

Between god fights and pizza shamans, here’s a moody palate cleanser worth your eyeballs. Phi: The Broken Strings. 

Delve into an emotional journey through a mysterious Puppet world as “PHi”. Solve puzzles, and uncover a deeply woven and relatable story. Go through each level gaining unique experiences in this 3D puzzle platformer.

Kickstarter + Steam demo go live on October 7, 2025. Follow them so you don’t miss anything. Give it a wishlist boost and show the devs some love!

Wishlist Already Gods Darn it!!

Before we vanish back into the dev mines, one last ask from the Broadcast Overlords: hit the wishlist button on Steam if you haven’t already, it supercharges visibility more than any spell we know.

Swing by Discord to keep the conversation messy and alive; and follow our socials if you want first dibs on reveals, polls, and the usual AI-Gent mischief.

We’ll be back soon with the updated roadmap and more behind-the-scenes goodies; until then, thank you for keeping the lights hot, the ratings spiky, and the arena roaring.

Fame is Fate, and you’re the reason the show goes on 📺✨

Final Days: GodsTV rockets past $125 K—VO Casting, New World Unlocked, and the Last Push Begins
about 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 06, 2025 at 04:23:19 AM

Rejoice, Contenders!

We’re in the home stretch—only one day remain before the curtain falls, and you’ve already hurled us over $125 000. That means World Veganus is officially unlocked: sentient snacks, the Food Wars, and Pepeirshi’s pizza-powered homeland are now part of the show. Thank you for turning late-night chaos into a runaway broadcast

New World: Veganus Unlocked!

”Food With Feelings Tastes Better!”

By blasting past $125 K, backers have opened the warp gate to World Veganus—a lush garden planet where every meal has a mouth and an opinion. Birthplace of pizza-shaman Pepperishi, Veganus has spent a century in a “Food War,” with sentient veggies defending their homeland from the Processor army’s greasy, fast-food takeover. Now contenders will land in the middle of this cosmic kitchen brawl, choosing whether to champion farm-fresh freedom or side with the ultra-processed invaders. Prepare for talking tomatoes, militant milkshakes, and the zaniest battlefield in the known multiverse.

Next Stretch Goal - $135 Fight a God!

If we make it to 135k we will include some sexy and violent encounters with the Capitalypse Gods!

🗣️ VO Casting Call (Live Now!)

The V1KTU$ VO challenge is live and buzzing! We dropped the casting call last week and the response has been amazing—thanks to everyone who’s already sent in an audition.

If you haven’t jumped in yet, you still have until today, Wednesday, 6 August EOD to make your mark.

You can either record straight from the briefing video or audition inside the demo build:

  1. Install the GodsTV Demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3673170/GodsTV_Demo/
  2. In your Steam Library, right-click › Properties › Betas
  3. Enter the code GTVCasting5505
  4. Select the viktuscasting branch and launch—every character is voiced except V1KTU$, so drop your lines into the silence, save the clip, and submit.

The winning performance earns a golden pass into the final game and full credit alongside the pro cast. Deadline looms—record, submit, become V1KTU$!

Community Challenge Board (Last-Chance Week)

The clock is ticking on every community event: when the Kickstarter ends, the challenge gates slam shut and we crown the final champions.

  • V1KTU$ Draw – Our snarky robo-boy is still waiting for your makeover. Grab the reference or FBX, unleash your wildest 2-D or 3-D spin, and post with #GodsInYourStyle before today, Wednesday, 6 August EOD. We’ll show off the best entries in one last highlight reel.
  • Render It in Your Style: 3-D artists, Kinni’s FBX is parked in the Artist Kit. Light it, texture it, smash it into polygons, and share with #GodsInYourStyle. Today is the final day to blow up the feed with renders.
  • Demo Speedrun Showdown – The leaderboard is still in flux, and there’s room for an upset. Record your fastest no-death run, upload the VOD (YouTube or Twitch), and drop the link in #demo-speedrun on Discord. Leaderboards freeze the moment the campaign ends.

Every submission this day—whether a lightning-fast run or a jaw-dropping render—still qualifies for the coveted ALL-STAR COLLECTOR reward tier. One final push for bragging rights: flex your art, bend the timer, and take your place in the Hall of Fame before the lights go out.

Fight A God!

If we make it to 135k we will include some sexy and violent encounters with a Capitalypse God!

Thanks to you we’ve already leapt from a $40K dream to a $100K reality—Goldchitama for everyone, swimsuit skins, a new boss, Comic Sins, and, of course, GODSSIP LIVE with full romance routes and Twitch-chat chaos.

Exceptional Guest Stars

To end our campaign with a bang we have joined forces with 4 exceptional artists for 4 one of a kind Guest Star Skins. The artists take 70% of the earnings and they are a glimpse into the wild world of alternative universes entering GodsTV! Get them before the campaign ends!

Breaking News: GodsTV on Mashed!

We have MASSIVE news. Thanks to the fervor of the community and the efforts for the GodsTV team we have struck a partnership with the incredible team a Spud Gun Studios to create both narrative content for the game and to continue the story our beloved contenders on MASHED, the beloved Youtube channel with over 5M subscribers. Stay tuned for more updates, this is going to be HUGE!

Another (Kinda secret) BREAKING NEWS!!

We cannot give too many details right now, but the success of the KS campaign has made it possible for us to have very promising discussion with new partners, including discussions that would make it possible to extend the funding of the project without comitting to a publisher.

We will share more once everything is confirmed, but it might be after the end of the campaign. It might prove to be an opportunity for our backers as well. Stay tuned.

That's All Folks!

Every tweet, retweet, meme, rooftop yell, or last-minute upgrade fuels these final hours. Let’s make the closing roar the loudest of the season. 
See you on the leaderboards—two days left to grab the glory!
