Age of Gladiators II: Rome changes
It's been a busy Summer.
Along with Deadwater Saloon, I would also like to announce Age of Gladiators Reforged, a remake of the original 2016 game in the Unity Engine.
The store page can be seen here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2103620/Age_of_Gladiators_Reforged/
As some of you might know, I created the 2016 game in an engine I (barely) cobbled together from several books. It didn't work in most resolutions and UI/quality-of-life changes were near impossible to implement - so I decided to recreate it in Unity from scratch.
The UI has been updated to something made in 2022 (featuring more icons and less text as well as better-looking windows that conform to the overall palette) and many new quality of life additions have been added (daily alert icons across the top for example).
As well, numerous other gameplay and aesthetic changes have been made:
Combat Mitigation now fed by agility and reflexes as well, making these attributes more useful.
Improved alerts system
Revised Gladiator Expertise system
Revised Player Perks system
Age incline and decline more drastic
Added Killer Instinct and Work Ethic to gladiator personalities
Drastically improved tooltips
Works on most resolutions
Staff, Lender, Other portraits added throughout the UI - now you can put a face to a name
Weapons and Armor now have Stamina costs (making stamina much more important now)
Dodging and Blocking now use Stamina (again, making stamina much more important now)
Greed also affects daily spending of gladiator
Gladiator portraits added to all UI
Stable now contributes to fatigue recovery time
Stable now has countdown for improvements
Custom mouse cursor instead of system one
Added a fight log so players can recap exactly what happened during battle
Scrollbars instead of burdensome next/previous buttons
Animals now have names
More Player Portraits
Fight Setup screens made more efficiently - a fight can now be started with two clicks instead of the many clicks previously
Improved music player
Icons instead of just text
These are just some of the changes - there are plenty more I am not thinking of here.
Will keep everyone posted.
And of course, previous owners of Age of Gladiators will enjoy a discount if they choose to purchase the remastered version. So please wishlist and follow Age of Gladiators Reforged today.
