Today we announce a new era for the game "Gladiator School". We proudly present the major update "Pit Boss" that will be available on February 19th 2021 with tons of new content and improvements to the entire game. Tell all your friends or shout it on the mountains. Welcome back to the ultimate management gladiator tycoon game. Over and out!
After a long time away, working on my day job, doing some courses and learning new stuff in Godot, I came back with a new vfx update for the game!
There are some other small improvements and bug fixes but the main changes were the addition of particles and shaders to make the game prettier, and more immersive!
First there were some special treatment to the background. I’ve added some blur effects in the parallax layers and tinkered with the colors, both to give it more depth and an “atmospheric” feel as well as to make the main action easier to see. Also some screenshake when you die:
Then to give a boost to the dash now we have an afterimage effect, and tasty particles for ammo up animations:
And of course, one of the most important things: Lasers! Now with glow and particlers, and a "charging" animation for enemies, they are much more lasery than before:
The bosses got their own special treatment, and their screams now literally shake the fabric of reality. For the boss introduction on level 5 there are also some focus shifting effects, that affect both the "blur" itself but also the overall colors:
And the shields were totally reworked:
You can see all of these updates for yourself right now by playing the new demo! It goes up to level 5, the boss introduction, and the save is carried over to the final game!
There will be a very special sale starting tomorrow, so wishlist it now as it will be the perfect opportunity to get the game!
And finally, I'd like to really really thank Nathan and all of the GDQuest Collaborators, because this update would not be possible without their VFX and Shaders courses! The "Sound shockwave" was an effect I wanted to do in this game since day 1, but I had no idea how to do it, and with their courses I was able to do that and much more, do I highly recommend them, there's even a bundle of courses if you prefer!
Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the game and the demo!

4. Will the updated content take effect on the current archive? Most updates can take effect on the current save, and there is no need to open a new game to play the game. At present, only the modification of professional skill data will take effect after opening a new game (you can continue the game without opening a new file, but the existing characters in the player team will use the old version of the skill data).
