Watch adorable, peculiar creatures meet their grizzly demise on the battlefield in a clever new deckbuilder where choices matter.

April 17th 2025: Independent developer Save Sloth Studios and roguelike deckbuilder obsessives Yogscast Games have today unveiled The Royal Writ – a lane-based card game with permadeath. 

Sometimes a kingdom’s problems can be solved by simple communication – which is why his illustrious highness has decided to send out letters summoning some of the troublemakers to his throne room. And if the recipients are a little reluctant to accept the invitation? No problem! A little siege never hurt anybody. 

Carefully enlist and place your peculiar creatures on a battlefield and watch them march to their eternal death or glory as they try to conquer the enemy. 

Deal damage to the enemy turn by turn, taking advantage of each card’s power or multiplication modifiers in order to reduce your target’s health to zero. Pay particular attention to the pitfalls and difficult terrain – for example, your aquatic creatures to gain an advantage in water-logged areas, or simply use your flying creatures to ignore them all together. Upgrade and enhance your soldier cards between battles via multiple mini games, as you work your way across procedurally-generated maps and battlefields in a quest to defeat and capture the final boss. 

The twist here comes from the ultimate jeopardy. If the enemy base has health remaining when a card reaches it, that card is permanently destroyed and removed from your deck, making every decision fraught with danger. You could spend ages powering up a particularly tough card, only for it to disappear if you’ve miscalculated your plans. 

Sacrificing your cards for the greater good is an integral part of the game, creating emergent sub-stories and making runs memorable. Achieve victory though strategic planning or game-breaking synergies, or fail miserably because your soldier got stuck in a bog and you forgot he can’t fly. 

Visually and aurally it’s a huge treat, combining cute picture-book visuals with the grotesque and absurd humour of a medieval world engulfed in constant war and deceit. 

“We only sign games we love,” says Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games, “so it’s no exaggeration to say the entire team and right across the Yogscast network – fell fast and hard for The Royal Writ when we first saw it. It’s such a brilliant, fun, clever take on the genre, full of surprise and jeopardy. We want to marry it.” 

“Our original idea for the game was extremely simple, but the fun instantly kicked in as soon as we put down the first rabbit soldier on the battlefield, so it was a no-brainer for us to start making a full-fledged game out of this idea,” adds Kornél Pittmann, co-director, Save Sloth Studios.  “Now, it has grown into something filled with tons of unique mechanics, characters and visuals, and we loved working on every aspect of it”

The Royal Writ began as an entry for Ludum Dare 55, and moved into full development following hugely positive feedback. It will be releasing later this year – with a playable demo available soon.

Take on the role of a city governor as you build flourishing cities, look after your citizens, earn gold, deal with disasters and earn the trust of the emperor

Frankfurt, Germany – April 17th, 2025 – Publisher Senatis and developer Roger Gassmann are pleased to announce that their Roman city-builder, Pax Augusta, will be available on PC today. Take on the role of an ambitious governor as you build impressive city districts, ensure the well-being of your citizens, engage in flourishing trade and erect magnificent monuments that will last for centuries. The road to the top is full of challenges – fire, corruption, unrest and the whims of the emperor will put your leadership skills to the test time and again.

Pax Augusta features historically accurate architecture, with numerous buildings based on real-life models that have been recreated with meticulous accuracy. That carries over into a gripping campaign based on the historical writings of the Roman historian Tacitus. Pax Augusta also offers a sandbox mode where you can create your perfect Roman city without restrictions.

Build residential areas, market squares, temples, forums, thermal baths and much more, with each building fulfilling an important purpose for city life. As your city grows from a small outpost to a vibrant metropolis, you will have to import and export goods, pay close attention to the needs of your citizens and deal with the changing whims of benevolent, profligate or capricious emperors who have a great influencer on your office as governor.

“I’m a big fan of games like the Caesar series, so much so that I wanted more and ended up deciding to just make one myself,” said developer Roger Gassmann on the genesis of Pax Augusta. “I’m so excited to finally release Pax Augusta after years working on the game by myself, with support from an awesome community, including the historians and architects whose feedback has been invaluable in making Pax Augusta as authentic as possible!”

Key Features

• The ultimate ancient city-building simulation
• Historically accurate architecture based on real-life models, some of which can be seen as ruins today
• Construct a Roman city, building residential areas, market squares, temples, baths and more as you grow from a small outpost to a vibrant metropolis
• Challenges and dangers including natural disasters, diseases and political power games
• Expand to the northern borders of the empire as you experience a large, detailed game world and colonise the regions of Gaul and Germania
• Dynamic trade mechanics allow you to import and export goods as you seek to control trade routes for maximum profit
• Sandbox and story mode offer the option of creating your perfect roman city with restrictions or diving into a gripping campaign based on the writings of Tacitus.
