So you’ve heard about Gladiator Begins, the latest in Roman arena simulation. Oh, you haven’t? Well, there’s a press release here, and a video here. But that’s not what this is about. This is about an interview!

We recently did an interview with Siliconera about Gladiator Begins, wherein we discuss the battle system in greater depth than ever before, as well as some…other things. Things like tigers. So I strongly recommend you go read the interview if you are interested in learning more about Gladiator Begins. Or if you want to read a somewhat graphic depiction of a man getting killed by an elephant, because it has that too. Also some tiger facts.

Swing on over to our YouTube and check out our tutorial for Tsubaki! Stay tuned, because we’ll be uploading new tutorials in the weeks to come.
