@nauhziy You got my weak point there, I dont know the code xD
Even the most simple one is hard to me. Thats why Im waiting for a WYSIWYG Chronicler version, so I can make my first games xD
Could you make a stat called ācunningā because I think it would be fun to be a strategist in the arena and to trick all of our enemy.
Sorry for my grammars mistakes, English is not my first language.
There arenāt that many grammar mistakes in this lol. The enemy should be enemies, and I think that is it. I might have missed something obviously, but you should be more confident lol.
Edit: everyone makes mistake
Ok, thank you. Well since it is required that I write 20 letters Iām obligated to continue writing.
@Guillaume_Gilbert Yeah, you could make use of the arena traps, the animals, maybe pit a gladiator against other backstage to increase your chancesā¦ could be fun xD
@Josetrayamar
Ahh thatās a pity. No worries! I will poke around on the forums.
@Guillaume_Gilbert
Haha donāt worry about the grammar! I understand you perfectly. Besides, Iām not from a native english speaking country either so that makes two of us
@Josetrayamar @Guillaume_Gilbert
I have created 3 stats (Strength, Intellect and Charm) mainly because I woudnāt want to complicate things on my first try. Other variables like race, background and money obviously play a role but I wonāt talk about those. I believe Intellect would describe what you guys have proposed? Given ways to win fights using brains instead of brawn
I would also want to include alternative ways to fight. From tactics and politics to clandestine methods like bribery, poisoning the opponentās food or match-fixing. And of course, straight up knuckles bared good honest fighting. Loving your suggestions so far, keep them coming! I will take note of them and maybe include them
Take a look at this and especially at the end there is a topic - how to make stat screen pretty with the coding of stat screen for three games
This is great. I was referring to the wiki which didnāt have such comprehensive information. Thank you!
Hey guys!
Iām just going to throw this out there. Do yāall have any suggestions for a good title? The best I have come up with so far is -> The Gladiator: Blood, Sweat, Tears.
Which obviously isnāt great haha. If you guys have suggestions just drop a reply here!
Thank you so much!!
The Gladiator : from slave to champion
@Guillaume_Gilbert
You just gave me an idea! How about. The Gladiator: Road to the Colosseum
@nauhziy Ingens Fatum, something like Mighty Destiny if Im not mistaken. Sounds good to me xD
And if you plan for more than a book, maybe add some words after it, like keywords that you could relate to the story, not only the gladiator part. Maybe something likeā¦ Ingens Fatum: Domitari nequit. (Mighty Destiny: I cannot be tamed). I may be drunk right now, but I could get used to that title. And of course it has to be latin, because, it has to be xD
Yeah thatās actually a great idea because it show well the progress that we can do as a gladiator.
@Josetrayamar
Thanks for the suggestion! Sorry but I have a personal bias against non-english names because I feel it might alienate some players. But I think that the idea of having additional words would definitely help players to relate to the story so Iāll be using that idea! Aye posting drunk haha there has got to be an achievement for that!
@Guillaume_Gilbert
Thank you for the idea!
[Update 19/5/17]
Itās been slightly over a week since I first posted this interest check, and I am pleased to announce that the first chapter is out! It captures the character creation as well as the backstory of the game, which will set the stage for the rest of the story to pan out.
The Gladiator: Road to the Colosseum
It is the year 49BC, a time of strife, politics and Roman dominance. As a child, these concepts may seem alien to you, but when you are torn out of your comfortable life, you will be forced to come of age and fight for your freedom. Will you rise to the occasion? Or will you fade into oblivion?
Do try out the first chapter of the game here:

Comments and suggestions, both good and bad are extremely welcomed. Thank you!
Just a FYI: You have the ability to update your first post and the title to reflect your new version. If you consolidate your links and changelogs there it makes it easier for people to test and provide feedback.
Oh alright, thank you for the heads up! I will do that
Nice, I am liking this.
Of course, young boys and their raging hormones. Given your status, it wasnāt difficult to become the popular rich kids surrounded with friends. Boadicea and you would often spend countless hours wooing the girls in your village with great success. Ahhā¦ good times.
Boadicea was described as a girl first, then she became a guy.
āIām going to make you regret saying that!ā You yell, chasing the boy down with your friends and Boadicea at your side. How dare he! To insult you in public. You will definitely not let him live this down.
And then I had a choice to go after him because he stole my money bag, but I was pursuing him because he insulted me.
Boadicea shakes her head, uncertainty furrowing her face. āAlbiorix, weā¦ we are going to be sold as slaves.ā
Now Boadicea is a girl again.
Thanks for pointing it out! Iāll fix it
