Citizens!


We know that it's been more than usual since our last update/build, so we wanted to communicate and quickly update you on the reason and what's going to happen next:

Based on a lot of feedback we have received, we decided that we need to re-do some big things in the game, mostly the tutorial and the sex/punishment systems UI to be much more clear to new players and much more fun, simple and intuitive to everyone. Since those are pretty big, and we don't want to repeat the mistake of releasing something that is very bugged, it took a while to make and check but.. we are almost there!

The next build (coming soon) will already have the new sex UI! The one after will follow shortly after and will have a whole new tutorial that should be a major help for new players. Both will come during the next month. After that, we will be back to the normal "uploading builds very fast" policy :). This news is just to be transparent about the development process as we always try to be :).

Also, thank you (again!) for all the positive support you have, and still are showing us! We have lately even touched the "Almost Positive", which as mentioned before is a HUGE deal for the game and couldn't be more happy about this and the fact that the reviews seem to be better and better!


For the glory of Rome!
The Senate


P.S: Always happy to hear more ideas and what you want to see in our mighty city! We also welcome you to join OUR DISCORD which has a lot of poles and questions we base a lot of our decisions on!

Citizens!


We have heard your cries! And so, as requested many times, we wanted to update you on our most current roadmap. Here it is, in all it's glory:



Please notice that we didn't mention bug-fixes as this always an on-going issue and always is the first priority for us, so this will be done simultaneously and all the time during the development, as we've been doing until now.

Hope you guys will like what it coming and as always - let us know your thoughts!
