Fixing Final Design - Gladiator Guild Manager Development Plans

Gladiator Guild Manager: Prologue

Gladiator Guild Manager: Prologue is a battle sim about managing your own Gladiator Guild in an epic fantasy world. Build and run your own guild, hire and train gladiators, develop unique tactics, manage resources, compete for the rank in the arena, and much more.

We had so much amazing feedback lately as we are getting the game to it's final stage for Early Access. There are several very serious issues that can make or break the game. Here are the main ones: [list] [*] There is a lot of waiting in the game where you just watch time pass and wait for opportunity to do something. [*] Optimal way of playing is to just build one small team of gladiators and make them as powerful as possible. We are losing a lot of strategic elements this way. What we intended in first place is that you'd build a larger group of gladiators and use them tactically. Have your top gladiators but also your less effective gladiators that are still useful. [*] Now that you can assign stat points to gladiators as they level up, the stat balancing issues are more obvious than ever before. [*] Game could use more depth. We want that "Easy to start, but hard to master" mentality in the game. But our "Hard to master" part of the formula could use some work. [*] And more smaller things that could make gameplay more engaging. [/list] Thanks to all your feedback, as well as ideas from discord, and watching streamers on Twitch like [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1058634440]Hillhome[/url] and especially form an amazing analysis video from [url=https://youtu.be/-zHPh0Jue7w]TooTechnical [/url] on youtube we put together a list of things we believe will fix all these issues and make the game at least twice as good. After putting all these together and thinking it through here is what we are planing to do: [previewyoutube=Imp-YkW1Uds;full][/previewyoutube] Video is lengthy. But I go through most important things in first 30 minutes. We'd love to hear your opinion about any part of our plans for the game in order to make the game as good and enjoyable as possible.
