All eventsRead on Steam

Hey everyone! Apologies for the delay in patching the Classic Collection! I've been super busy lately, between this game, looking after my little son, maintaining the mobile versions of the games and working on the new game Spartacus, my time has just felt non-existent!

Good news is there's a new patch up for the game! Here are some of the latest additions / fixes - this is for Windows only right now but a Mac patch is coming soon too.

Global Changes]

  • Players can now return to the main menu by clicking Quit Game. This was a lot trickier to implement than I thought, but it's working now. You can go back and forward between games without having to reload the main game every time.
  • New background image added to random backgrounds
  • Fixed a bunch of broken tweens and typos in the games

Swords and Sandals II

  • Fixed a bug where enemy trivia didn't show up properly
  • Resized orange parchment on battle UI to fit screens better
  • Fixed a bug where ammo was not showing for characters in battle

Swords and Sandals Crusader

  • Fixed a bug in the Leadership spell that would sometimes freeze the game
  • Fixed some blurring issues on sprites in battle
  • Fixed a bug where the game would sometimes pause between arrow fire exchanges

Swords and Sandals IV

  • Potential fix for the Arena tiles showing 'Closed for repairs'. (You may find this causes some glitches or undefined character names, if so, let me know!)

I will keep patching this game over the months and years, it just might take me a while as many of the bugs are from code written in 2006 that *used* to work but just has totally broken in newer versions of Windows etc, things like Tween engines that once worked now sometimes fail, collision detection is done differently etc! It's a creaky machine :)

Once again, thankyou all so much for supporting the S&S series and I look forward to bringing you more adventures in Spartacus and Swords and Sandals VI in 2019 / 2020 and beyond!

Cheers, Oliver Joyce
