It's been a busy Summer.
Along with Deadwater Saloon, I would also like to announce Age of Gladiators Reforged, a remake of the original 2016 game in the Unity Engine.

As some of you might know, I created the 2016 game in an engine I (barely) cobbled together from several books. It didn't work in most resolutions and UI/quality-of-life changes were near impossible to implement - so I decided to recreate it in Unity from scratch.
The UI has been updated to something made in 2022 (featuring more icons and less text as well as better-looking windows that conform to the overall palette) and many new quality of life additions have been added (daily alert icons across the top for example).
As well, numerous other gameplay and aesthetic changes have been made:
- Combat Mitigation now fed by agility and reflexes as well, making these attributes more useful.
- Improved alerts system
- Revised Gladiator Expertise system
- Revised Player Perks system
- Age incline and decline more drastic
- Added Killer Instinct and Work Ethic to gladiator personalities
- Drastically improved tooltips
- Works on most resolutions
- Staff, Lender, Other portraits added throughout the UI - now you can put a face to a name
- Weapons and Armor now have Stamina costs (making stamina much more important now)
- Dodging and Blocking now use Stamina (again, making stamina much more important now)
- Greed also affects daily spending of gladiator
- Gladiator portraits added to all UI
- Stable now contributes to fatigue recovery time
- Stable now has countdown for improvements
- Custom mouse cursor instead of system one
- Added a fight log so players can recap exactly what happened during battle
- Scrollbars instead of burdensome next/previous buttons
- Animals now have names
- More Player Portraits
- Fight Setup screens made more efficiently - a fight can now be started with two clicks instead of the many clicks previously
- Improved music player
- Icons instead of just text
These are just some of the changes - there are plenty more I am not thinking of here.
Will keep everyone posted.
And of course, previous owners of Age of Gladiators will enjoy a discount if they choose to purchase the remastered version. So please wishlist and follow Age of Gladiators Reforged today.
