This Cult of The Lamb documentary details the development of indie roguelike colony sim Cult of The Lamb and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover more about developer Massive Monster and its three founders, Jay Armstrong, Julian Wilton and James Pearmain. In the early 2000s, all three developers started their careers making Flash games for websites like Newgrounds. Once they met in 2012, the trio decided to collaborate and, after making multiple Flash games together, founded Massive Monster in 2014. That’s when they shifted their focus to developing games for Steam and consoles. Unfortunately, their decision to develop two reimaginings of two of their older Flash games concurrently over the span of five years, led to financial difficulties. The team decided to pool their resources so they could create one more game.
The documentary also explores all the design decisions that Massive Monster made and shows why 60% of work on Cult of The Lamb ended up on the cutting room floor. It also takes a close look at all the hurdles the team had to go through. Early concepts included an idea for a 2D platformer, a concept in which the player was a God taking care of a tribe atop a flying whale, and a "make your own hell" afterlife simulator. The small studio also struggled for years to find the right balance between the colony sim side and roguelike side of the game. Additionally, the team had to experiment a lot to make the role of cruel cult leader more appealing to players, as people initially didn’t want to be mean to their followers.
Furthermore, for the cult management part of the game, the team took inspiration from Oxygen Not Included, Frostpunk, Stardew Valley, Don’t Starve, RimWorld, Animal Crossing and Moonlighter. When it comes to the roguelike side, they were mainly inspired by The Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Dead Cells and Hades. Lastly, the documentary takes a look at what’s still in store for Cult of The Lamb’s future.

My favorite game is quickly becoming cult of the lamb. I’m disabled and often can’t play games with lots of combat as I just can’t react quickly enough to ever succeed. The “easy” mode of this game still provides a challenge for me while being enjoyable to play. The design of the game is just so amazing too! From the smallest sounds to the details of the bishops in their fights, it’s an amazing experience.

Yeah man, I'm a cripple myself, normal's asinine anyway, the only dif between normal and easy is you get a whopping extra heart and the mobs have their health doubled, so it's like you deal half damage. If you want to make your life easy on yourself, use the axe. Attack speed isn't as spammy, you hit hard and the power attack let's you have a ranged attack that let's you fling the bitch and walk away, homing and damaging everything on the return, ezpz. There's also an accessibility option that let's you freeze time during crusades, so you can take your time without your villagers trying to eat shit when you aren't around. God knows one fucker vomits around the prayer circle and they just chain barf everywhere until you get the janitor closet, lol.

This is such a good game and they do free updates. It's 100% one of the most unique and interesting game I've ever played.

Something I really like about cult of the lamb is that it is the equivalent of a meal that you make with limited ingredients but tastes absolutely delicious. The game is made in a pop up book style environment, where the 2D images are placed in a 3D environment, which not only creates a distinct and iconic style used in very few games, but is also extremely cheap, where assets can be made within a few days instead of several weeks with 3D modeling. The game is very very budgeted, not having nearly as much detail as other games, but it is still beautiful, still distinct. The game is probably one of my favorites to look at and hope soon I can get it.

I love Cult of the lamb. There are some issues though. It starts to get a little glitchy once you get around 20 followers. I'm amazed how different the ideas were in the begining. Also, there are players like me who got everything unlocked and upgraded in the cult before even starting the third dungeon area. Partially because I kept dying in the dungeons until I eventually unlocked enough upgrades. Now I have too many cult followers that cause my game to lag, more money than I know what to do with, and I'm considering just ignoring my cult for a while and dungeon crawling because I just don't need them anymore.

I played Hades before getting into Cult of the Lamb, and I think the gathered resources from runs that help with base-building, combinaed with social interactions that change the runs in both games is what makes them so accessible to ppl like me who're relatively new to gaming, and create such a specific but addictive loop. Rogue-like games never appealed to me much, bc I knew I'd get fed up if I lost everything every time I died (which would happen so. many. times. more if you're not used to these types of games), and purely base-building games felt vaguely tedious and lacking in challenge/urgency (no shade to those games tho, I totally get wanting to just relax, it's just not for me). The fact that in this game you get only a _portion_ of the resources you gathered cut away if you die, is actually more motivating to me than if I lost everything - and the fact that you have a bunch of helpers you can delegate tasks to (who will continue when you're gone, especially!), means the base-building isn't so tedious or overwhelming as it would be otherwise. Plus, the limited resources you can only find on runs create a sense of urgency to actually put care/attention into what goes where in the base, and how much you can afford to spend on things. Also, not only are the decorations super cute and like a little treat/reward ("Oh yay, I can afford extra things bc I did well on a run!"-kinda thing), they actually have a FUNCTION - changing your followers' mood/faith, and sometimes they even get involved in quests by followers asking for them - they feel meaningful in-world that way. Sure, characters comment on new decorations in Hades, and that's usually amusing, but they're really only aesthetic - they're hella cool, but they don't DO anything. Like, if you give me pile of towels near the blood-stream, why not let me use it? It's not a big deal, I totally get that something like that would involve a major load of work (bc if they do it for ONE, then...), and I respect the work ethic from the creators of Hades too much to really want to complain, but it does leave you a little bit miffed, since there's only so much "money" you can gather in a run, and runs you're willing to do to save up for something pretty but functionally useless. The followers however will randomly and often go up to decorations and admire them - and with the right cult-traits, that can even gain you some faith! I've never seen that in a game, and it might be just a small thing, but I think it's really neat.

I heckin love when you talked about the art development. I love the aesthetic for this game I feel like it has an almost perfect brand identity for everything and watching this you can really see how iterative they were with it to achieve that. Maybe im just a sucker for the subversion of mixing cutesy cartoon humor with horror and simple but bold color schemes but idk, i havent enjoyed a game like this in a hot minute. My boyfriend is a big fan of roguelikes like binding of issac, he plays it constantly and i never understood, Im not drawn to isaac as much but with cult of the lamb i feel like i finally get it. Mind you the survival/colony and basebuilding aspect of the game i enjoy more than the crusades, but thats just who i am i suppose 😂

I hope they find success with this game. Its so cute, i was buying the merch before i ever played the game because i really liked the art style, or atleast i tried to until the company cancled my preorder 🤷🏽‍♂️. But i ended up buying the game for the switch after playing it at my bfs house lol. Learning more about the devs makes me feel less bad about buying all the dlc lol.
