Gladiator King [v0.17-Draft] [Tale Master Zian]

November 4, 2025F95

I will never again allow what is mine to be taken from me.
I will not bow to those who oppose me.
This was the last patience I would show them.
A king? Hah.
An emperor?
Don’t make me laugh.
The only power they truly hold is the crown upon their heads.
But what if…
I were the one to wear that crown?
Our hero, lost his family to the warlust of the newly crowned Roman emperor. Growing up on the battlefield, he strives to protect his last surviving sibling—until a treacherous ambush separates them, and he is captured by the enemy. Six years later, he emerges from prison as a gladiator.
Will our gladiator live a quiet life, rise as a champion, or seek to claim true power?
His destiny lies in your hands.

Developer Notes:

Hey dear followers and players,

I’m Tale Master Zian, and I wanted to share something heartfelt with you today.

I know the second update of Gladiator King came a little later than expected.

That’s because we poured a lot of time and care into it — from designing new styles and refining the gameplay flow, to strengthening the story structure.

We spent countless hours debating:

✨ How to handle the more intimate scenes,

Where to best use the Live2D animations,

Which parts should be AI-generated and which should shine through with hand-drawn art.

All of this was done with one goal in mind — to make the story and storytelling even more powerful.

This update still isn’t fully complete.

Future fix patches will smooth out rough edges and expand unfinished storylines. ️

Now, a bit of personal news — I’ll be taking a short hiatus (around 1–1.5 months) as I begin my mandatory military service. ⚔

It’ll last about a year, but after the first month and a half, I should regain access to my computer.

And when that happens, I’ll jump right back into development — continuing updates and crafting more of Gladiator King.

I hope you enjoy this small but heartfelt piece of content.

If you’ve liked the game or what I’ve been creating, your support means the world to me.

Even a few kind words of encouragement can reignite my passion and keep me going.

With love and gratitude,

— Tale Master Zian

!! FAQ !! Recommended

Q: Which AI model or App are you using?

A: PonyDiffusion and PerfertPony. I am using ComfyUI

Q: Will there be any NTR, Cheating fmc, mc Cucking, Bestiality, fmc Rape, or Hardcore stuff with NON MC Characters?

A: Now and Future THERE WONT BE. (i just dont like these kind of stuff)

Q: Why AI? Since you can draw, even if it’s bad, I think it would be better to have your own drawings.

A: You’re right. Actually, I drew all the character and prop sketches by hand (except for the backgrounds), like the Sword and the Branding Stick. But I have no idea how to color them. And in my daily life, I don’t have the time or the skill to learn it. Of course, I don’t look down on other artists. If I can afford it, I’d love to have the game drawn by artists whose style I admire. As I said, due to my lack of skill and time, and being the sole developer, AI takes a tremendous load off my shoulders.

Q: What’s this? Is it a parody of Sword and Sandals?

A: … XD I can’t say I wasn’t inspired by it, yes. But it’s not a parody—I plan to make my own original story and an original game with a combat system adapted in my own way.

Q: What can we expect? Will it be all about combat? Will the game end when you become a champion?

A: I can’t fully answer that without spoilers. But becoming a champion is only one of multiple possible endings. Combat will definitely be an integral part of the game. But what can an ordinary gladiator achieve by just swinging a sword? Under the pressures of this noble society, you’ll need help from certain people—like choosing the same faction…

Q: Will there be incest? There was mention of a lost sister.

A: I included it for story purposes, but I haven’t made a decision about including incest yet.

Q: You made a very basic Live2D; I wish you had done facial expressions and stuff.

A: The classic breathing animation was easy to do, but breaking the sprite into layers for eye blinks, mouth movement, head turns, etc., would have taken a lot of my time and energy. So, even if it’s not perfect, I tried to use Live2D as fully as possible from a single sprite. But if demand increases, and I can afford it, I would have Live2D artists separate everything layer by layer. Because in my dream, I want all characters to be able to move freely without limits.

Q: I see tanlines and pubic hair customization options for Tira in the thumbnail/game. Are these options exclusive to Tira, or will they be available for other characters as well?

A: Yes, they will be available for other characters too. For now, the feature is only implemented for Tira, but future updates will add these options to other characters depending on their individual concepts.

Q: Okay, I have a question…

A: You can reach me anytime via F95, Discord, Patreon, or SubscribeStar. I’ll try to respond as soon as I see your message.

MAC USERS ATTENTION

Live2D library isn’t natively supported in renpy on MacOS. The workaround to is to download and install the Renpy SDK and install the library yourself. Heres a link for how to install the library (https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=69698). Hope this helps. Much Thanks to KasimirVT for finding and giving this solution.
