The new demo is coming along nicely. A lot of progress has been made from the previous version and here are some new things that we can show:
Core gameplay loop is now revolving around the map that you’ll be able to explore:

There are arenas to compete in. Rising through the ranks of each will open new parts of the map and unlock new arenas. Shops for fighters and items are now placed on map and by progressing through the game a new and different kinds of shops will become available.

We’re working now on adding quests that will appear around the map and we’re also planing on adding dungeons that will present a different kind of challenge. Getting as deep as you can, defeating all sorts of monstrosities and looting resources and items to help you grow your guild and team.
Another important update is the new guild building mechanic:

Buildings that you choose to build and how far you upgrade them will determine what sort of gladiators you can hire and how far you can develop them.
Guild buildings will cost various resources like wood, stone, metal or mana crystals. But you’ll also need to expand your territory and unlock new slots by defeating enemies in the new woods arena.

Also, we made a new Kickstarter page that you can follow if you wish to hear more or support us:
