Greetings, dear deities! It’s news time again.
Befriending Monsters
Remember an invite to Godville — an activatable item that helps gods friend each other? Apparently, some of us sure did, as it turned out that many deities have lots of invites laying around. Here is a new way to put them into use… on monsters!
With a tap of a finger, you can temporarily befriend the monster your hero is currently fighting. A bewildered beast will stop fighting at once, surrender all its belongings and retreat peacefully. All future encounters with this monster will be bloodless and lootless, at least while the magic lasts, which should be around a day or so.
A few things to note:
- The hero should be at least level 12.
- Special monsters (Questing, Wealthy, Healing, etc) are technically not de-feeted, so they won’t cast their usual upon-defeat curses or boons.
- Wanted monsters, however, will still give the proof of their ‘death’, which makes them an easy target for these one-day friendships.
- If suddenly you find yourself in need of invites, a handy push notification option in the app’s Settings, conveniently added years ago, is still at your service.
Tamable Mark
As the roster of Godville monsters grew over time, it became a bit difficult to guess who could be tamed or not, and when. From now on, if a hero is actively looking for a pet or has a free space in his ark, all pet-wannabes appropriate for his heroic level will have distinctive bone mark in their name.
Keep in mind though, that “To tame or not to tame?” is still a hero’s question, not god’s. But even if your hero chooses not to, now he will mention that in the diary.
New Coupons
Staff at our daily newspaper is eager to spice things up with a couple new coupon options. The first one will add a new POI on the map, and POIs are good for many things. The second one will let your hero get an unplanned side job upon cashing it in.
As usual, don’t forget to update your Godville app (Android, iOS) to enjoy the latest goodies.
WooHoo!
Some juicy new content to spice up our lives. Thanks devs!
Amazing! Love this update! As always, thanks for keeping things interesting!
Good stuff! Thank you! Longest game I’ve ever played. Have no intention of stopping!
Absolutely love this update! Can’t wait to tame some monsters! 😁
I just befriended my first monster! Hooray!
Yay new content! Excellent job as always, dear devs. Thank you!
Woot woot! 🍩🍩🍩
Wow! As one with quite the backlog of invites, this is a pleasant surprise!
Thanks for keeping us on our toes! ;-)
These game improvements are looking to be interesting. Look forward to making new monster friends and POI’s probably will be fun. I am already on a coupon side job. Thanks devs!
What happens if you redeem a coupon for a side job while you have one already? I’m about to find out.
thanks!
Nice! I’ve always wanted to befriend a Fat Cat!
Nice
It’s absolutely useless to me but
NICE

“All future encounters with this monster will be bloodless and lootless, at least while the magic lasts, which should be around a day or so.”
I discovered this also means we can befriend only one monster at a time :) The button is greyed out for the duration of the “magic”.
That’s fine and seems fair, but it wasn’t obvious from the blog entry. Not to me, anyway!
As there’s no such restriction on activating Godville invites (as invites), it might be worth mentioning this limitation explicitly.
In any case – this is a super cool new feature, so thank you very much!!
P.S. Also love the bone mark :)
Thanks realy cool update 🎉
Nice..
Gah, i thought you could make them tameable or something.
Sad 😭
Nice! <3
