@Diokatsu:
I was trying to get 36inc to move the conversation elsewhere. Your reply isn't going to help, Lol.
@36inc:
Please respond to Dio's response elsewhere...please.
@Topic:
I have added some training dummies for the characters to beat up. I want to add a gauntlet next, and then I'll finish up with a platform for one on one matches. I forgot what it's called, but after roughly a week of training the new gladiators were matched against the Ludus' current gladiators in a fight to either death or draw to prove themselves worthy to train there. The fight took place on top of a platform that forced the gladiators to move forward, or be pushed back and destroyed. I want to add that platform to the tileset. Hopefully, it won't be too hard.

@Diokatsu:
It's only two seconds long! Lol. How can it be overused? LMAO.
Text shattering and reforming? That's a pretty overused effect.

@Branden:
I didn't level you down, and I assumed nothing. I only responded in that way because I felt it was a good tip for any game maker. It will always be in a designer's best interest to do as must research on a said topic as they can, before they actually begin production of something that will be a derivative of historic origin. Now normally this wouldn't apply, because most games are fictional by nature, but because mine isn't it applies here.
Even if you're changing the game a little...it can never hurt to know the facts of how it really went down. This is how Hollywood does it. They pull you in by revolving a scene around factual events, throwing in miscellaneous details that further captivate the viewer. This tactic can and in my opinion should be applied to games if it can.
@36inc:
Well...yes, in a manner I will. I will use subtle innuendos to suggest the presence of homosexual relations, but in no way will it be a main focus in the game.

Yeah, like I said. Not 100% accurate. Never said, "Not accurate at all.", like it seems you are assuming.
My post was directed to 36inc, anways.
And who leveled me down? I have not done a thing wrong.

Uhm, who cares? It does not have to 100% ACCURATE.
Quote from: Calintz on October 03, 2010, 03:49:25 amgreat but I will have to warn you,Sparticus blood and sand isnt 100% accurate.
Oh no I completely understand, and those are my intentions.
I own the first season of Spartacus, which actually spurred the motivation for this game. If you haven't seen that show it's a great portrayal of the Gladiatorial times, and I will use that show for reference. You don't need to worry...I will make sure it isn't just a beat 'em up game...that would be hella boring!

Well I didn't have any real prior knowledge of all things Gladiator until I decided to make this game. This site has been my friend ever since, and contains damn near all of the information I think I'm gonna need to finish this game. But this site really only has the more famous Gladiators listed on it, and so I don't personally know too many of the lesser known Gladiators yet...
That would be something I have to look into.
Anyway, this is the site:
http://www.roman-colosseum.info/index.htm
Edit:
What I was basically planning on doing, since I'm focusing mainly on Capua, Ravenna, and Pompeii (short of Rome); is do some research on some of the famous Gladiators that emerged from those three locations and have you tackle them one by one at set points in the game on their home grounds. After you prove yourself worthy by doing such, you will be accepted to fight in the Colosseum, where you meet the big names.
So, you have to become the champion of Capua. That is the first goal on your list. Then, to Ravenna to compete and conquer their champion. Finally, you can fight in Rome, but only after then conquering the champion in Pompeii (Capua's long time rival Ludus).

The storyline of the game will be based from the history and life of Spartacus, and his rebellion of gladiators against the romans. There will be factual historic names portrayed throughout the game, such as the Ludus you're going to train in. It was where Spartacus was trained...In the ancient Roman city of "Capua" lived the "Batiatus" family. They were notorious for their Gladiatorial Ludus where many successful gladiators were forged.
There will be famous gladiators in the game such as: Caligula, Commodus, Titus, and Flamma, etc...(you may even fight Spartacus). You will have the option to name your own Gladiator though. You do not directly play as a famed historic Gladiator.
