Gladiator Guild Manager News

Long story short, is that we given our best to add as much content before the Early Access release as possible. But having limited amount of time, this left us with less time for testing. So once you guys started playing the game (at one point even we got 1500 players playing simultaneously) you started finding bugs that we didn't even consider could happen.

So far most of the major ones are fixed and here is the list of a few more fixes:

• Unfortunate situations where people lost all gladiators and items were cause because they would change name of the gladiator and add some letters that would break the code. Now this is fixed and you can name them however you want without this risk.
  
• Timeline bug where shop updates would stop appearing after you finished some quests that would give you passive income is now fixed.
  
• Priestess or Invigorator could not target Mana Assassin while he was in stealth. Now they can.
  
• Items changing their rarity should be fixed.
  
• Old Vampire quirk used to heal gladiators who got damage over time buffs. Le't say Mace Wielder orc had Old Vampire quirk. Once he got hit by Pyromancer and start burning, the burning buff would also trigger this quirk and heal him. Now this is fixed and he heals himself only when he deals damage:
  
• Starting random pool of quirk is now bigger. So there is bigger chance for different quirks to appear on starting gladiators in shop.
  
• We changed version of Unity to newer one that should let small amount of people who could not open the game, open it now. (Main branch should work now, no need to change it to beta branches)
  Tell us if you still have issues with this. Just make sure you updated the game. Steam sometimes takes a bit of time to do this on it's own so what you can do is Log Out and then Log In, and it will trigger the update. Game should be version: 0.728 (Or higher once we update it again)
  

We have few more things to fix that are ether rare or minor bugs. And then we'll start working on new content.

[h2]Balance Voting[/h2]
Also, today is the last day for balance voting on gladiaotors on our Discord. Channel is called #balance-voting. Join us and tell us who would you like to buff, nerf or not change.
We already got tons of feedback this way that will help us a so much in balancing the game. We will start working on balance tomorrow, and give our best to make game more fun by making weaker characters more playable and OP characters a bit less OP.


Thank you for all the support and feedback! Game is getting in much better shape thanks to you and all the things you reported. We'll be soon ready to start adding new exciting content ːsteamhappyː

Cheers!

Now the game is in a bit newer version what should help a small number of people who could not open the game. Tell us if this helped you (make sure you update the game, version is v0.727 or higher when we update the game some more). Or of course if you run into any issues in new version. From what we tested so far it is working well but with many people playing we can never be 100% sure.

Thanks!

This happens to an unlucky streamer and all his gladiators and items disappeared. We watched what he did while playing and seen that he changed the name of the gladiator using comma and some other characters while changing gladiators name. Then this gets saved and because we use some of those in save game, the load game gets confused and breaks the game. Now this is fixed and you can use any character in name that you like and it will keep working. Like this for example: https://prnt.sc/1wqs8vv

Sorry for inconvenience. It was something that we did not predict but now it's solved.

Thank you!

Here is the basic development roadmap we have in mind. Of course it is open for changes as we get feedback from you guys during the development.

Also in order to balance gladiators the best we can in next update we made a Discord voting channel #balance-voting where you can vote to buff, nerf or not change gladiator. Join us and let's get the game balanced together ːsteamhappyː


[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
And here are some recent bug fixes:

• A pretty rare but problematic bug where timeline stops showing shop updates and discounts has been solved. If you keep encountering this bug in new version of the game (in new playthroughts) please tell us about it.
  
• Finished quests now have Victory or Defeat text next to them.
  
• In shop when item or gladiators was discounted but you didn't have enough gold for original price it would shot red indications or even not let you buy. Now that is fixed.
  
• Revenge of the Genius Spellcaster quest is fixed
  
• Japanese text updated and now missing fonts fixed
  
• And a few more minor bugs fixed.
  

We had feedback from people who lost their electricity and got a save game file corrupted and could not start the game at all any more. If this happens or some other situation that might get the save game file corrupted for now we made a beta branch that is solving this. We'll soon upload this to main branch but for now we want to test it in beta.

For now, if you are one of the unlucky few who ran into this problem, this is how you can switch to the beta branch that fixes this issue. In your steam library open Gladiator Guild Manager. Then click on this button and continue following instructions:


Version of the game should be v0.722- beta. Tell us if this helped or didn't. And sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you for all the feedback and support. We're working hard on solving all issues and get the game in best shape before we start adding new content. We'll soon do a nice re-balance of the game based on your feedback :)
We'll keep the voting open till 20th October so all of you get a chance to have a say. Again here is the Discord link where you can vote.

Cheers! ːsteamhappyː
