Life of Rome Cancellation

December 14, 2017

Starting a game, particularly one as big as this, is a huge undertaking, and it is simply an immense amount to take on. From the very beginning it was an ambitious undertaking. Accepting that even after this long time and long development that the game is never going to be what it needs to be hurts, and instead of giving you a new, loose release window it's important that we’re honest with both ourselves as the creators, and with you, the community. Unfortunately, from today this is now a cancelled project and we’re incredibly sorry to let you all down.

Life of Rome was a passion project from the start, and never did we think it would gain such a large following so quickly – announcing it too soon was the first mistake, it was too soon to make the project public which is painfully obviously now. The second was allowing pre-ordering which is an enormous regret, this was irresponsible and completely the wrong time to begin accepting them. Since then the development has been continuing albeit slowly, we gained developers and we lost developers, however we have realised it's not going to be able to meet the vision and to the standard it needed to hit without substantial financial support, which unfortunately we have failed numerous times this year in securing. We're deeply sorry for not taking the right actions throughout this project.

We want to thank the community for their support and their belief in the project from the beginning; to also thank those of you who always supported and helped with the development of the game. We also want to acknowledge those who financially backed this project through HumbleBundle pre-orders. Humble do not officially support refunds after 60 days however we want to be committed to refunding as many people who generously supported and pre-ordered. Please email support@lifeofrome.com with your pre-order details and your PayPal address.

Thank you all again for the continued support and love you have shown for the project, and once again please know how deeply sorry we are to let you down and more importantly the way we've conducted updates through the many months of silence throughout Life of Rome’s development.

A failed dream and a lesson learnt.

This is the first of our video updates where you can see a quick glimpse into one of our walks through Life of Rome. Today we visit a few of the main monuments that you can explore in the world. This is just a small taste of what you can expect to find when you step into the open world of Life of Rome.

Fortes Fortuna Iuvat - Fortune Favours the Bold



Salve!

We've been quiet for a reason and we can't wait to reveal why soon. We've updated our artwork (as you'll see here on our Store Page) and we're currently working on a new website and a launch trailer. As we start getting nearer to Early Access, you'll begin to see more frequent updates from us.

Once again, thank you all so much for your support. We now have over 2,500 members on our Official Group - which is unbelievable! We also have our forums (forums.lifeofrome.com) where new members are joining every day and are already recruiting for their families and discussing tactics.
