We have painfully discovered that the game is not living up to the standards we seek. It has heart and soul, but lacks the appeal necessary to risk putting onto the market at this time.
In the meantime, we shall continue improving the game, including revolutionizing the avatars entirely. Say goodbye to the puppet-controlled physics-based avatars. They were cool in concept, but admittedly, not the most practical, since they could... trip. PHYSICS!
Instead, say hello to fully animated avatars, WITH LEGS.
Never fear, most of the old skins will return, but instead of "building" your gladiators like robots, they will wear armor, as one would normally expect.
Also, gameplay will remain the same, minus the awkwardness that comes with physics-based avatars.
Many more big changes coming down the pipe, as we continue to listen to our beta tester's feedback. Join us on Discord yourself and shape Forging Glory's future! https://discord.gg/AMTKx9R

The new unlocks page now acts as the centralized hub for expanding the player's capabilities. It gives a sky-high view of how much of the game's modifiers, traits, skins, and more they have yet to unlock. For each unlockable, it has a short description, and a detailed description with numeric and visual examples. Also, unlocking now grants you an item with that new modifier, trait, skin, etc so the player can try it out immediately! Neat!
The unlocks page will even list out unlocks that are in your inventory or campaign! No more forgetting about those beloved voxel shop slots or even more importantly, the voxel smith itself!
In our follow-up patch, we also greatly polished the game's aesthetic! Rebalancing post effects, contrast, adding motion blur, overhauling nearly all particle effects, and adding background props like a jumbotron and stadium lights, all of which greatly enhance the cinematic feel of the game!
It may seem small, but trust us, it makes a world of difference, and the players agree! It feels like a new game!
