Hi guys. I’m Toasteh and I’ve been working on a spiritual successor to the cult classic Black & White.
If you have questions, you can post them here or on the Discord.
About the game:
Deus Novum is a spiritual successor to Black & white, much like Stardew Valley is to the Harvest Moon series with a learning creature, a variety of powerful miracles, and villagers to convert. However, it differs from Black & White in a number of ways such as a focus on fighting against goblins and other enemies as opposed to trying to fight other gods for the worship of humanity. These goblins will launch a variety of targeted events on your villages, inspired by Rimworld. Kidnapping children, burning your crops, stealing from your storehouse, and more!
I’ve also tried to focus more on gameplay as I felt that was the weak point of Black & White. There are more miracles, different buildings that can empower your villagers, and you can set up prayer power networks using conduits which allows for some automation.
Overall, I’ve tried to use what worked in Black & White, replace what didn’t, and add new exciting features.
Deus Novum is available on Steam.

I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited to get something like Black&White. That game consumed so much of my childhood. I’ll definitely check it out.
Mine too! It was such a special game that clearly left a huge impact on a lot of people.
Ooooh, we’ve got this notion, That we’d quite like to sail the ocean…
Eidle eidle eee… eidle eidle eee…
I miss black &white so I’ll give it a try!
Thanks let me know what you think!
Games looks great and I am excited to finally see some life in the Black & White geneology.
Heads up, the Steam link in the Youtube description is cut off/broken.
Thank you! It’s really overdue in my opinion.
Good catch on the link. Youtube disabled my previously working hyperlinks until I verified my phone number lol. How random.
