Sup guys. Excuse me if I’m somehow doing this forum thing wrong, if I should post in, say, the Off-Topic board first or generally if I’ve missed any spoken or unspoken prerequisites to be posting a notice for a new HG game, but I’m new.
Essentially, I’ve been developing a game revolving around a captured gladiator forced to fight weekly (or perhaps semi-daily or daily, I’ve yet to get to the first round, still revising and creating character creation and the ‘tutorial’, etc.). I’m making this game primarily to get me accustomed to the *choice coding and all. There’s a slight lack in plot (You’re a gladiator who must fight to survive), although I’m trying to make up for it in excellent combat mechanics and some side-plots, for example escaping from the arena and/or gettin’ some booty.
The gladiator arena is not set in Rome, although I more or less ripped off the coliseum aspect and renamed it “Urbatrix” (my reasoning is that the guy who built it was named Urbatrix). I like it so far, there are a ton of character stats and I’m implementing a full armor and weapon system and shopping line. For example, you’ll start out with some basic Leather Armor equipped with a Steel Sword and Shield.
As far as the stats go I’m making it similar to attributes in an RPG game, all the Strength, Charisma, Agility and all that good stuff.
I’m hoping there aren’t very many games that seriously orient around combat or in a gladiatorial kind of scene. From what I’ve played (which is about a third of the total Hosted Games/Choice of Games threshold), there aren’t. So uhh, yeah.
Oh, and to give a general gist of the environment, I’ll leak the first scene of the game.
The spiraling arena surrounding you roars with the screams and hollers of dozens of thousands of exhilirated occupants, anticipating the start of the battle with raw vigor. The stands and benches themselves seem to jump with life as thousands of men and women jump in synchronization with each other, adding to the factor of life in the battleground. At times you can sniff a small trace of berry perfumes and garlic-coated foodstuffs.
All this extravaganza is interrupted as a man donned with a full set of battle armor rushes towards you, his heavy feet stomping into the sand, sending an unquantifiable number of sand particles into the air, almost masking his charge. His greatsword is raised close to his chest, and it rises easily four feet above his head.
You steel yourself. You account for the impending attack and adopt a defensive stance, raising your weapon to shield yourself and angling your legs away from the transgressor. The crowd has become so loud that it seems your very soul rocks with verbal energy.
As the man closes in, you ready yourself as your

best of luck with that c: and just in case o.o if you don’t want to give away stat boosts or anything like that in your summary you can always show what the choices are but not what each choice dose.if that makes sense? (I say that because it looks like your kinda just showing us your coding instead of a teaser.?) but anyway best of luck 
that being said i’m sure you’ll do great 
It fits well with medieval combat RPGs since it has a shield slot. It’ll let you assign damage and armor values for different kinds of items, and you can factor those values into combat however you wish and add your own stat modifiers however you wish.
