Gladiator: Road to the Colosseum (Out Now!)

@nauhziy congratz bro for the reléase :grin:

Why is it so rare nowadays for games to have a save system? Am I the only one who hates having to restart from the very beginning because of one wrong choice?

Yeh you should put a save in then I will defo get the game

Otherwise I probably need to get the website version of the game come Easter. Why not sooner I hear you ask? Because the always online website requires me to finish even big games in one sitting without closing my browser in order not to lose my progress. This requires big chunks of free time, as in a day off with no other obligations and I won’t have those again for another couple of months at this rate.
So, yep, count me as one of the customers who would very much like a save system on the website version as well as the option to download from the main website for offline sessions (so I can mod things if I want to) as the server side version is very much look but don’t touch where the game code is concerned.

Okay, I’ve had to restart like 15 times already. I really like the story but it’s gotten to the point where it’s not worth the bother. I expected some checkpoints at the least.

i agree there should be check points… i died one time fighting in the arena and my stats in fighting are crazy high… this should be fixed i think

im sorry to say this but im getting the hell of fed up with the game, dunno if is only me but my game freezed when trying to divert the javalins in the colosseum vs the elephant… now to restart the entire game again…

I am working on it! Onto the finishing touches, actually. I’ll post it today or tomorrow!

I present to you the worst possible, but at the moment, only guide for this game.

(Maybe I should make a new thread so it is better seen by everyone, I don’t know).

Is this game on Steam ?

I see that it isn’t how sad.

I hear yall!!! Thanks for the feedback wrt the save system, I’ll see if CoG has a quick and easy way to implement that (like CJW’s plugin) or if I’ll have to write it out. So sorry about the frustration!!! It’s definitely not an easy game, but I also know how painful it is to have to restart. Thank you for your patience!!!

I think the javelin bug should be fixed by now!

i hope so :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:, i did have to restart the entired game, damm ( i love you bro but its hard to redo the entire game again and again, btw on a side note i did not like much the drop in the stats in the game, maybe in future games try to avoid it.)

It is fixed now. And you can avoid it by quitting by the first or second time when you’re forced to hold a sandbag above you after the brawl.

Thank you for listening to our whining. I think that, for the amount of it that seems to happen on this site, there should be a button that posts an auto-comment that simply says: BITCH MODE ACTIVATED.

For real though, I think what stings the most is that dashingdon has an integrated save system. So to go from having one in the demo to not having one in the game really sucks.

Yeah, I originally had a playercode system but it was incompatible with the randomtest (if yall rmb). What if I give an option to restart the chapter upon death? Would that be better? So no save system in the “I can save just before I make a decision” sense. But more of a “at least I don’t have to restart from ground zero” sense. But porting the stats over would be difficult… maybe I shld just keep the stats at death?

So a save system like Tin Star? That sounds good.

Yeah that would work.

That would sound like a very reasonable solution since I don’t particularly like having to restart if I die due to a failed stat check.

i think some kind of checkpoint like mecha ace, tin star i think is similar… maybe @Cataphrak can give you some advice about that.

Alright! I’ve sent in the patch that allows you to choose to restart from the start of the chapter hahaha. I really sense the frustration (from reviews and comments) so hopefully the patch is released sooner rather than later!!!

Other than that, how is everyone enjoying Chapters 5 and 6! What do y’all think!

Awesome! Now I’m even looking more forward to the weekend when I have time to play it! :grin:

I feel like the gladiators need a chant for that unity scene after the ship battle. So I revised a poem I previously wrote:

"We are the warriors of Fortis
As death is at our door
We fight with the courage of lions
Hear our mighty roar

Our names are those of champions
Our feats are those of stories
But with blood we paint the sands
FOR HONOR! FOR GLORY!"
