Slaves of Rome News

Salve Romans!
The Senate presents you with the following changes! And more updates coming in 2 weeks!
This update has a lot of fixes (as you can see below), but the main one is the new sex UI.
The main reason we wanted to publish this before we also publish the new tutorial and the new punishment UI is so that we can gather your feedback on the new UI - so any thoughts you might have on that would be most welcome!

Sex system and UI:
- You can now select poses through the brand new Pose Selector. The Pose selector includes all available poses, you can navigate through them and select them.
- Trio poses and duo poses are now separate and you can switch between the modes (after completing Amelia's Exotic Delicacies).
- Partner selection has been streamlined and resides inside the pose selector:
- You can now directly set the partner to the character you want via a carousel that includes your available slaves.
- Added ability to freely change submissive partner.
- New descriptive icons for poses.

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!

We wanted to update you on our progress, our current status, what we are currently working on and what you can expect in the near and future updates.

We keep receiving a LOT of suggestions and requests for new content and improvements. A lot of them we already are working on - being completely honest, we were hoping to post a build with a lot of the "coming soon" list below before the summer sale, but we are slightly late, so will post it very soon - as soon as we know everything is stable and bug-less (see? the Senate learns! ;) ). We are going over all the feedback and everything you are writing, while doing our very best to reply and communicate as well as we can to everyone. We also want to thank you (again) for the feedback and suggestions and support - we see and feel the reactions to the game getting better and better and are so grateful for the positive spirit and support!




Coming Very Soon:

• Improve the punishment system, specifically in terms of better aim and improving all the non-whip instruments - Already mostly ready, working on some last things
  
• Re-work the tutorial and make it more clear and simplified - almost finished!
  
• Threesoms re-work (option to get rid of wife! and more control)
  
• Pubic hair control - almost finished!
  
• Simplified archery (we know it's too hard at the moment)
  

Coming in the Future:

• Better slave customization
  
• Love/fear system improvements
  
• Unlocking Aeliana after finishing the main story, and adding options to "play" with any character you finished a quest for, like God-Seeker, the girl from Mars (and more)
  
• Making 2 dildos - one to be used as punishment and the 2nd for pleasure
  
• Adding BDSM toys like a gimp mask/sack ,gag options and more
  
• Improving the brothel/pleasure house use, adding characters there and option on how to use them
  
• Main character customization (we REALLY want do do this, but this is a very complex system and hard thing to do so this will take some time)
  
• GLADIATORS (but don't get excited yet! This is basically a whole new game-mode so we want to do this, but this will take us a long time!)

Greetings Romans,

In this update, a critical issue with the quest system has been addressed. This issue included empty quest descriptions, quests not updating and halting progression.
We want to thank our Roman citizens for bringing this underlying issue to our attention and prompting us to fix it via the bug reporter.
Hotfix #18 was pulled out until this was resolved.
The very nature of the problem was very difficult to replicate and it would not be possible without your help.
Any save files affected by the issue should be properly corrected upon loading your savegame.
If any issues persist, please report them via the bug reporter.

The Senate.
