Gladiators: Survival in Rome - Saturnus
Khaire, gladiators!

A few days ago we alerted you to the planned nerf of the Attack Power stat. After engaging in discussions with players (thank you for your feedback) in the Discord and Facebook community, we have decided to cancel the proposed change and retain the indicator's impact on damage without reducing it. As an accompanying measure, we will decrease the potential values on items, but this change will solely affect newly crafted items.

Furthermore, there is something we've been eager to modify for some time - the evolution of food efficiency over time. Therefore, we will be implementing a few alterations to cooking in an upcoming update:
Cooked food, starting with Mushroom Soup, will now not only restore stamina but also increase the maximum stamina value for a few hours.
The bonus to maximum stamina from food will be stackable (e.g., Soup + Porridge). However, food of the same type will replace the existing buff, renewing its duration. The exception will be food from events (like Caramelized Apple), which will provide a universal bonus of +10.
Preparing food will be slightly more straightforward, requiring only 1 culture and an additional ingredient. The recipe will include the Burned Clay Bowl, again. We understand that the bowl is not the easiest item to obtain, but we are considering potential improvements to balance this aspect.
We will enable the consumption of Raw Meat. This solution has both advantages and disadvantages. The positive aspect is that it will be possible to restore stamina right in the fields. The downside is apparent - if meat is transformed into food, it cannot be stored in the resource warehouse; it will move to the food warehouse. Please note that we do not intend to move it automatically, but if you withdraw it from storage, you will not be able to return it.
Lastly, but certainly not least, all food items, starting with porridge, will receive a slight bonus to stamina restoration value.

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

P.S. Some details (such as food restoration values) may be subject to change during development.

Ryzom - Ul'U Kyn
We refined the interface
  • The items to assemble in the special bag now have a percentage displayed to make them easier to read.
  • The purchase option for Ryzhome and Rywards items has been improved to be easier to understand, and shows, whenever it's possible, how to get the reward.
  • The design of the Notes app has been improved.
  • Info option from the context menu has been removed; an "i" icon has been added on the right side of the target's name, when the target is a player, instead. It opens the Profile app for the targeted player.
  • "Ask politely" is now the default option; deactivation is still possible in the Guild app or in rumors. Please note that the option is disabled for new players until they have left Silan.

Target like a pro
  • The /tar command has been improved: you can now use the special characters "*" and "?":
  • "*" matches any sequence of characters (including the empty set).
  • "?" matches any character (but exactly one).
Here are a few examples:
  • /tar *kin (targets izakin, madakin, but not kincher)
  • /tar izak?n (targets izakin, izakan, but not izakoo)
  • /tar m*kan (targets madakan or mekan)

Take notes
  • The Profile app has been reworked from scratch. You can now add notes while viewing another player's profile. The notes are personal: only the player who added them can read them.
  • You can find player notes in the Notes app with the @Players tag. They are also all prefixed with @ such as in @Ulukyn.

Roleplay tags/badges for all!
  • Players who were unable to select Roleplay tags/badges during character creation can do it now. Careful though: you can choose only two, and your decision is final!

Bye bye little bug
  • Certain entities were invisible in certain locations. That bug is fixed.

We remains at your disposal for any additional information and best wishes to you!

Complex SKY - nofunallowed
Hello, architects of the future!

For a while now we’ve been discussing how to build things. But what exactly are we building?
The city of COMPLEX SKY employs a minimalistic visual style with a touch of sci-fi. These low-poly boxes aren't something that immediately comes to mind when you think “city builder architecture”, so why go for this look? Let’s dive in.



COMPLEX SKY takes place in a post-apocalyptic world marred by an unspecified ecological cataclysm. In the aftermath, the remnants of humankind took to the skies in a desperate bid for another chance at survival. However, not everything is so dour, as this new “green” civilization is showing a lot of promise! Will you be able to deliver on it?

Thus, the visual language of the game’s architecture serves a few purposes:

– A focus on greenery and ecological sustainability.
– A sort-of-optimistic take on humanity’s future, resulting in an “eco-minimalist” architecture style punctuated by whites mixed with a selection of sporadic colors that make everything “pop”.
– A focus on practicality: the shapes are simplified, no space is wasted, everything is modular.
– Extra futuristic gribble. It just looks good.

Don’t you just want to live there?



It might not look like it as you start your renovation project, but COMPLEX SKY can be quite a fast-paced game. You might think you're in for a relaxing term as the city's "mayor", but an apartment unit here, a textile factory there and now you're really feeling the pressure – This kind of city management welcomes split-second decisions, so be prepared for the unexpected...

To help you quickly navigate your open-air warehouse, the game employs a subtle color-coding system: there are no specific classes or rules for the buildings to follow, but some buildings and related extensions do use similar-looking designs, which helps you find them more easily amidst other blocks and protrusions.

Tip: try breaking your city into themed “districts” to make management even easier



COMPLEX SKY is not just a game about building things: it’s a game about building things in three dimensions! Your goal is to build a thriving city in a world unrestricted by gravity. The scenery should, of course, look impressive and techy at all angles, with all the pieces still fitting together naturally. A lot of the time you will also be stacking buildings on top of other buildings, creating giant skybound monoliths.

Uh… So which one is the upside-down part?

This kind of aesthetic also lets us create…slightly weirder structures that go beyond simple factories or living quarters, yet still work organically with the city builder style.

Some structures connect to the mainland from the side. Wonder what they can be used for…

Don’t forget: building a city in COMPLEX SKY is a long-term project. Civilizations aren’t built in a day: you will be building, moving, zooming, and rotating your little world for quite a while. So looking at something nice while doing it wouldn’t hurt, would it?

I hope the peaceful visuals, cute animations, customizable lighting schemes, and the zen-inducing soundtrack will get you into a relaxed, yet focused frame of mind befitting the chief architect of humanity’s future.

If you wish to connect with fellow futuristic architects, check out our Twitter or hop onto our Discord server; the skies can get pretty lonely without good company.
And if you want to start building humanity’s future today, check out our Demo: it’s constantly receiving updates and growing, just like the city of COMPLEX SKY!

Stay tuned for more updates soon and see you on cloud nine!
