Thanks for letting us know!

I'm sorry the game isn't very optimized. As a jam game, we didn't really go back to it after the few initial bug fixes.

There's going to be a small update to fix a few bugs and other problems soon (can't say the exact date yet, but I'm working on it right now). I'll take a look and see if I can address this issue and get it to run at least a little bit better. 

There will be an announcement here on Itch and on Twitter (http://twitter.com/potentiallyodd) once it's live.

No problem. Wasn't your upcoming game expanding upon this Jam one?

The updated version I was talking about earlier (version 1.0.3.) is available to download right now. I wasn't able to test it on lower-end machines, so I'm not sure how much it actually improves performance, but I did some optimizations. Feel free to try it, but don't feel obligated to :)

Yes, Plead with the Elder Gods is basically a sequel. It will have many of the same gameplay elements (platforming, exploration, metroidvania-like upgrades and progression) as well as similar thematic elements. The full game is still a long way off, but we're working on a demo right now. I think people who like/are interested in Mountain God will also enjoy Elder Gods.

Hello Jay, long time no see. Are you still working on the elder gods game in your free time?

Hi, thanks for the comment!

Unfortunately, no. I have posted about it in a couple of places in the past, but it's hard to reach everyone, so here is the short(ish) version:

The Potentially Odd team is no more, and the game was too big for me to finish on my own.
I would definitely like to come back to that world eventually (years down the line), but if/when I do, the game will be smaller than Elder Gods was intended to be, and different enough that it will have a different name (I already have one in mind, not that it will see the light of day anytime soon).
*If* I eventually make a game in that world, it will have a similar atmosphere and gameplay for sure.

Also, this is a more recent reason, but I recently got a game industry job (more about that in this thread if you are interested: https://bsky.app/profile/jaymarksman.bsky.social/post/3luotnjb3uk2s ), which is why I won't be working on my own games for the foreseeable future.

I'm sorry for the bad news, but at the same time I'm glad people are still interested. I just hope I can give a more satisfying answer one day.
