Godville, Aug 28 2026

Hey there, deities with undocumented heroes! Not long ago Godville turned 16 — old enough to drive and fake responsibility. And yet in sixteen years, not a single hero has ever been issued so much as a library card. Let’s fix that with paperwork — nothing says “grown-up” quite like a stamped form.

Meet the ID
Today the newly founded Godville Bureau of Heroic Affairs is rolling out official ID for every hero. Behold the beauty:


A hero, finally presentable in high society — share accordingly.

The more decorated your hero’s record, the more stamps and marks crowd the pages — bureaucracy forgets nothing and spares no one. The IDs update automatically with every fresh achievement of your hero, and he will happily announce each update in the diary.

Impatient gods can fast-track the process: just spend a few invites at the Bureau to get a fresh card any time. Or grab a temporary ID in a minute — it looks less grand, but it’s free, and you can try it right now.

Mobile Profile Refresh
Since IDs live on hero personal pages, we used the opportunity to refresh those mobile pages too. Their design, unloved and unchanged for literally fifteen years, finally isn’t an eyesore anymore.

New Crosswords
The newspaper crossword has been running on the same two dozen grid layouts for so long that solving one had become muscle memory. That streak is over — the grid pool just tripled, so expect some unfamiliar-looking crosswords in the coming days.

That’s… oddly specific. It came out after a few years from thinking about this concept into this game. Hopefully it would turn out quite well.

Excited for new crosswords! What’s the use of an ID, I wonder if we will get more updated for it later
