- GodsTV Demo LIVE now! - 18 August 2026
Rejoice Contenders,The time has come, the GodsTV Demo is now đŽ LIVE! What are you waiting for??This demo introduces the player as a wide eyed wannabe auditioning for the greatest TV show in the Capitalypse. It features around 2 hours of chaotic combat and hilarious narrative, the first 4 Show-Runs to play through, tons of upgrades, raunchy humor, and your choice to play as either badass ninja-popstar Leetah or fan favorite Kinni, who will be swinging his jiggle physics all the way to the top (Or the bottom?). GodsTV brings chaos and action along with top-notch art, writing and voice talent. Characters have been designed by artist Anna Cattish, the writing team includes Adam Neylan and Lyle Rath (Helluva Boss) as well as Stephen Flowers (Helldivers 2). The cast is led by Internet sensation Brandon Rogers, and other seasoned pros who contrast with the talented breakout creators Kaisa StrâŠ

Hey Contenders,We know itâs been a bit quieter than usual⊠but donât worry, the showâs still going! Weâre still here, very much alive, and deep in development. Over the past weeks, weâve been fully focused on making GodsTV better. That means fewer updates and more behind-the-scenes work: refining systems, improving gameplay, and making sure the show hits the level of quality we want (and you deserve).đź Playtests - A Short IntermissionFirst of all: thank you to all our testers. The feedback from the previous playtests has been incredibly valuable. Seriously, you gave us a lot to work with, and weâre taking it to heart. Because of that, we decided to pause playtests for a bit to focus on implementing improvements and polishing the experience. Playtests will return soon, we just donât have a set date yet. We want to make sure the next time you jump into the arena, the game is in a much stâŠ

- GodsTV is launching a Kickstarter! - 20 May 2025
Weâre Melbot Studios, the team behind My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure and Melbits World. Family-friendly stuff, right? Well⊠our next game is called GodsTV, a top-down roguelike hack'n'shoot where wannabe influencers risk their lives in violent TV shows to become mega stars. Think Hades meets Rick and Morty, and yes, one of our playable characters is a sentient slice of pizza. Weâve been pitching GodsTV to publishers for years.
