- Meet Niccolò Machiavelli - 3 January 2022
Lunga vita a Borgia House! Lunga vita a nuovo papa - Alexander VI! Over the past few weeks, we were very busy working on new updates to our game. We wrote new dialogues to Chapter 1 that touch on the conflict between two sons on the main character: rackety Juan and heedful Cesare and did the final polishing of the entire scenario. We have also constructed the correspondence system that allows the player to write customized letters to monarchs, ambassadors, and all the mighty personas of our world. Finally, we have tested our animation capabilities that the small sample we are presenting to you! It’s a quick insight into how our Niccolò Machiavelli is going to look and talk. This probably makes you think who is the legendary author of the “Prince” in our game… He is an elaborate courtier, diplomat, and speech giver but most of all a quick-witted chess player who starts a fierce political…

- Devlog #7 - Vagabonds in Rome - 10 June 2021
It is the year 1492, it is the era of the Renaissance. Now work has a value of religious redemption. There is no space for healthy men living as parasites relying on the charitable spirit of others. The Church had it clear for two hundred years. With canon 32 of the Council of Lyons II, it had even established the suppression of mendicant Orders with the sole exception of Dominicans and Franciscan Friars Minor. Now the problem is urgent to be solved. The masses of the new poor, the landowners ousted by the rising bourgeoisie, have to pull up their sleeves and find an honest occupation. There is only one inconvenience: how to distinguish the pilgrim from the vagabond? It is the Confraternity of pilgrims of Rome to give the answer: ”The true pilgrim is the one who will have an official license, issued by a confessor”. Another clear example of how the Church is in control of absolutely eve…
