Hi Everyone!
Gladius is finally open for Early Access! I’m super excited to finally open the game to the community and invite all of you to participate in the development process.
After several months of intense development, the game is now in a stage where is fully playable, the basic mechanics are complete and has 2 full levels, a training arena, several weapons, shields and helmets to choose, and 6 different types of enemies.
But the we are not done yet! We still have a few more months of development ahead, so all feedback and opinions are more than welcome. I will review and answer every comment in the forums and Reddit to make sure that your opinions are considered and you have a say in the direction of the game.
Next steps are:
- More content! The next level, Barbarian invasion, will feature two new enemies (archers and barbarians), new weapons, as well as some sort of cooperative play with NPC characters.
- Better combat gameplay: Another area where I will be working will be in making combat as realistic as possible. Dodging and parring of enemies are next, as well being able to do all types special combos (grabbing them, better stabbing, etc). Badassity it’s always important! :)
- Improved physics: Although the game already plenty of physics interactions in the game, we are not there yet! More updates on this area are coming soon.
- Your feedback! This is a game that must be built for the VR community, so if you feel that the game needs to take certain direction, have a crazy idea, or want to include/modify any feature, please let me know!
Finally, I want to thank the beta testers that have been patient enough to go through the initial versions of the game, and have been kind enough to not classify my emails as Spam, although I gave them all the reasons in the world to do so. :)
See you in the arena!
