Fateless Podcast Recap: Respecting MYTH, Reimagining LEGENDS – Creating Own World
In this episode of the Fateless Podcast, Brad, Juho and Mike welcome a new voice to the team — Aaron, our freshly minted Narrative Director for Godforge. With a career spanning over two decades in the games industry, Aaron brings storytelling pedigree from legendary franchises like Star Wars: The Old Republic, Ultima Online, and New World.
Podcast Summary
Aaron’s love for mythology goes way back — as a kid, he devoured Bulfinch’s Mythology, with a special passion for Norse legends. That early spark grew into a lifelong journey of storytelling, blending myth, horror, and deep world-building. Now, he’s channeling that love into God Forge, a game that reimagines mythological icons like Thor, Zeus, and Hades in a shared universe teeming with new alliances, rivalries, and possibilities. What excites Aaron most? It’s not just retelling myths — it’s what happens next. In Godforge, the gods you know are thrown into a brand-new setting where their histories reset the moment they arrive. From there, it’s all about how these powerful beings evolve in a strange new world — and how you, the player, shape that story.
Aaron and Cinematic Director Mike are building a story-first experience, one that goes beyond lore — making you, the player, the true center of the conflict. With a world rich in mystery, high-stakes drama, and mythic spectacle, the journey is just beginning. Oh — and Aaron’s teased an epic underworld storyline. You heard it here first.
