Gladiator Guild Manager News

[p]Fixed the Wild Heart Quirk. Previously, Level 3 provided the same stats as Level 2.[/p]

[p]Hello,[/p][p]We have a few exciting announcements! We've added a new feature called Glory Mode to the game, and we've also created a Gladiator Guild Manager comic book![/p][p]Plus, we’re running our biggest discount yet: 60% off![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]Glory Mode Feature[/h2][p]We’ve added the Glory Mode feature in update v1.041. It can be enabled when starting a new game. This mode limits the number of times you can lose or skip a championship, giving the game a much-needed challenge. Until now, even if you played on the hardest modes, time was always an unlimited resource. That made it possible to grind through the game no matter what.[/p][p]With Glory Mode enabled, you will have to be extra careful because losing a certain number of championships means game over. You can choose how many championships you are allowed to fail before the game ends, on a scale from 1 to 7.[/p][p]I’d love to hear what you think about this feature, how far you manage to get, and which game settings you used.[/p][p][/p][h2]Gladiator Guild Manager - The Price of Glory (Comic Book)[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve been thinking about making this for a while, and we finally decided to go for it. It’s a 20-page comic book that follows the struggles of Slen and the Guild Owner as they fight to keep their gladiator guild in business. Their team has lost every championship so far, and the budget is completely drained. Losing the next championship would mean the end of the guild. With only a few clumsy gladiators left, can they find a way to win and save the guild?[/p][p]I’m really proud of how this turned out, thanks to our artist Goran, who went above and beyond to draw the best comic he could in the time we had. Silly character expressions, a sense of motion in every scene, and tons of hilarious details bring the whole thing to life.[/p][p]I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it. If you do pick it up, I’d love to hear what you think. Let us know here or hop into our Discord Community to chat about it.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Project[/h3][p]One more thing. I wanted to take this opportunity to share what I’ve been working on. It’s something quite different from anything I’ve made so far, but I’ve had ideas for this sort of game for a very long time and finally decided to go for it.[/p][p]It’s a story-driven game where you play as a gatekeeper in a small town rumored to have a monster. You'll manage the gate, inspect wagons, grant or deny entry, meet townsfolk, make decisions, patrol the area, and protect yourself.[/p][p]It’s horror-themed, but not a jumpscare fest. The focus is more on atmosphere and mood. It will still have my kind of humor and silliness, similar to Gladiator Guild Manager and my previous games.[/p][p]If you're curious, follow and wishlist the game to get notified when the demo is ready.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you!

Fixed Greed is Good and Anti Capitalism traits in Tournament Mode.

We’re excited to announce that trading cards are now available for Gladiator Guild Manager!



We’ve added 9 trading cards featuring gladiators and faction characters, 6 backgrounds, and 10 emoticons.





We’ve also fixed several minor bugs in the latest update. These include issues with weather-related traits such as Crimson Lungs, Rain Absorber, and Wind Rider, along with other minor trait, item, and UI bugs.

[h2]Next Project[/h2]
Also, I wanted to tease the next project that I’m dabbling with. It’s super early, and I just have a visual prototype that you can see in the trailer. But I wanted to share it early so anyone interested can wishlist, follow, or join Discord and be the first to get access to the early alpha build as soon as it's available. I am planning to heavily rely on your feedback again in shaping this game as well.

Of course, we’ll still have more small updates for GGM eventually, but we have slowly started looking into what’s next as well. This will be a smaller/shorter project compared to our 6-year-old Gladiator Guild Manager child ːlolGGMː
