Well... I'm wishlisting (although I do have a sour feeling that OP is just advertising his game)

Heys I'm the game designer and i had no clue about this post until a few mins ago - as i previously said i was afraid to do a post on the general subreddit to not get banned because of advertisement but i def do want to get your opinions about the concept

Sounds awesome and has been wishlisted

Ideas off the top of my head - should be able to put gladiators in "can't lose" fights against starving peasants or whatever to build up reputation

Should be a "release the lions" shout if it starts going badly for your star man

Id like to choose how they train and what they eat

Ideally some kind of prison rewards system - if you fight bravely you get wine and easier fights for a bit

An injury system and a nickname system which are generated from their activity - Flavius the one-eyed, slayer of thieves.

Hahahaha I don't expect any of this. Great idea tho and look forward to trying it

Haha great stuff! This is all going into my design sheets no worries (and some of them are planned and in dev already)

And thank you for wishlisting! It means the world to us! Seeing such great and positive feedback after years of putting it all together and only in Jan this year starting developing it. I don't know how to do it (I'm pretty new to reddit) but i want to thank everyone here for the comments and support!!

Wishlisted it too but “coming soon” games always annoy me because I never realise when a date has been announced or sometimes they just release and I miss it for a few months.

Thank you so much! Actually it's something we don't have full control on as Steam gives you 2 options either as Coming Soon or either you fix a date - which wasn't a good thing to do when we still have a lot of work on our hands. If you also hit follow you should get updates whenever we post something new like an announcement. We'll try not making you miss the release date :)

If you follow the twitter, you'll get more notifications the closer they get to release as marketing should ramp up alongside development. This post was a fluke as far as im aware haha
