Upon its release in 1991, Gods was hailed as a classic that would go on to become one of the defining games of its generation. This state of affairs would continue as it also became one of the very best games that The Bitmap Brothers ever produced. Now, and under the guiding supervision of original founder Mike Montgomery, Gods Remastered has been released in a state that modernises Gods's art and sound, whilst also taking efforts to preserve its original gameplay.
Developed by a single developer, Nils Hammerich looked to recreate the game as a fan, and was supported only by Sound of Games for the audio. There are drawbacks however, as whilst there's no physical release for Gods Remastered currently planned, the remaster also doesn't feature the original "Into The Wonderful" soundtrack due to licensing issues. Still, as a solo project, Gods Remastered is an incredible achievement of Herculean proportions, and Nils Hammerich was more than happy to answer my questions about his pet project - which you can read below.
