Hey mighty gladiators!
With the game now complete and stable, I've now turned my attentions to getting the mobile builds of the game up and running ( for iOS/Android ). These builds will be 'cut down' versions of the main game , no dungeons, In App Purchases, you know, the usual hallmarks of the wild west that is mobile gaming.
The good news is, the Android build ( so far !) can take part in multiplayer battles cross platform against gladiators on Steam. You'll now see a little icon next to a gladiator's name in the lobby to symbolise whether they are on a PC or on a phone. Being able to fight cross platform should really open up to the doors to more and more battles as right now the lobbies don't have many players , as is the case for many small multiplayer games.
Expect the Android build in the coming weeks - this Steam build is *infinitely* superior to that one but it may serve well as a companion build when you're on the move.
Today's patch is by all comparisons a very minor update, but here are the patch notes.
Thanks for being with me on this great journey!
Cheers,
