I was excited about the idea of combining those two genres to create something that would become more than the sum of its parts, so I created a prototype that I planned to show to the other guys at an upcoming PAX. I noticed that games like RimWorld and Enter the Gungeon created so many interesting emergent narratives – stories that spring out of the game’s mechanics – that made it so everyone’s experience with the game was unique. The game actually started with the idea of combining the genres of a roguelike with a colony sim/base builder. The current number of God Tear Fragments needed to create a God Tear can be seen below your Lamb's loadout screen when beginning a Purgatory run.What was your source of inspiration for Cult of the Lamb? How did you develop the idea?įunny enough, the cult stuff didn’t come until much later.

At first, you'll need 50 God Tear Fragments to make one God Tear, with the total increasing after each one is made. After your run is completed, your God Tear Fragments are automatically converted into God Tears. You'll also now be able to choose a Fleece to utilize for your future runs for an additional challenge.Īfter each boss is defeated, you'll receive a number of God Tear Fragments. As the name states, you'll be able to fight four randomly selected bosses - one from each of the four main areas. The current number of God Tear Fragments needed to create a God Tear can be seen below your Lamb's loadout screen when beginning a Purgatory run.Īfter defeating the boss at the end of the Dungeon Gauntlet, you'll be rewarded with a God Tear, as well as a large bundle of God Tear Fragments.Īfter completing the Dungeon Gauntlet for the first time, you'll unlock the Boss Rush mode for Purgatory. At the end of your run, your God Tear Fragments are automatically converted into God Tears. Note: You aren't able to harvest any resources from breaking boxes and chopping down trees in Purgatory, so it's best to focus on clearing the enemies in each room and moving on.Īfter each successful section is completed, you'll receive a number of God Tear Fragments.
