- Full Release Updates - 14 February 2024
Ludus Mortis version 1.0 will be published on March 6, 2024. This will be just the beginning: in the coming months the game will continue to be updated with new content, new dungeons and much more. Thank you again for your feedback and suggestions received during the Early Access period.
- From Early Access to Full Release - 6 February 2024
Hi, The Early Access period is coming to an end. Since the EA release (late September 2023), Ludus Mortis has improved in every way: now it has a better User Interface, more contents, and the gameplay is more balanced. I've released 20+ version of the game in the last 4 months with more than 300 improvements, fixes and new features, so thank you for every precious feedback you gave me. I will release another update with all the remaining 3 dungeons; this will complete the story arc and bring to conclusion the journey of the gladiators. After this update I will announce the Full release date, that is now really close. At the same time, I'm probably going to remove the demo from the store: it's really outdated and I think that it doesn't represent anymore the experience of the game (and I honestly I don't have time to update the demo, sorry!) Thank you again for all your comments and feed…
