Salvēte, Lanistas! Today I have yet another update for you all, and this one might not, on the surface, seem like all that much, but I saw all the comments & reviews about loading times being slow and of course also experienced it myself.So therefore, I essentially just "locked in" and did nothing but optimize a lot of old code, obsolete and duplicate calls and whatnot. And I am very happy to shar...

Salvete, Lanistas! This update continues the game’s major visual overhaul, and I’m proud of how much its look and feel have improved.I also want to acknowledge that limiting takedown credit to the gladiator who landed the final hit was a mistake. That change has now been reversed, so assists once again grant Fame.Also, if you haven’t already, it would mean a lot to me if you could take a moment to...

Salvete, Lanistas! Today, I have another update packed with exciting additions for you to enjoy! :)Before we get to the patch notes, I want to clear up something important. With version 0.96 now out, you might understandably think the game is approaching a full 1.0 release.To be completely transparent, I didn’t plan the version numbering as carefully as I should have. Even if we reach “1.0” in the...

Salvēte dear Roman Citizens! I know this update has taken a little longer than expected, but the new World View required me to rework quite a few of the game’s underlying systems. The positive side of this is that the way Gladiators, Lanistas and Doctores are handled is now much more modular, which also opens the door for potential future systems such as transfers between Ludi and much more. I als...

The new Gladiator ageing system is a first step in that direction, as now keeping your gladiators forev...
