Medieval Open World MMORPG Gloria Victis Has Just Entered Beta
After 4 years in Alpha, Gloria Victis has finally transitioned to Beta. The medieval open world MMORPG, however, will still be keeping the Early Access tag on for now as the developers iron out the kinks and continue to optimize the game.
“The beta will last a few months and will prepare us to leave Early Access. Part of the team will work on bug fixes and new features, and we would like to address players' demands, and feedback. The other part will focus on optimization, performance, and technical updates. Do not be scared - the game is and will remain fully playable during the process, which is best proven by the players with thousands of hours in-game!
Gloria Victis is a project that should be understood as “Game as Service” – despite we already have a lot of features and systems, this is not an end. We will constantly update the game with the help of your feedback and introduce new systems and features like we did in alpha, as we will continue that in the beta state, and after the game release. We will not slow down and we will keep up the pace!”
Indie developer Black Eye Games also thanked players and supporters for helping them throughout the game’s development. “We would not be here and achieve everything without our awesome community, so, at the beginning of this update announcement, we would like to thank you all who helped us to create Gloria Victis MMORPG – a project that was made by players, for players, and with players,” wrote the devs.
“We are the only MMORPG of such scale that achieved what we did with the great help of our community. We never had any investors and publishers and the original team worked for years without any budget. After the Steam release in 2016 – the only income that drives the project is from the game selling and ingame Supporter Shop. We cannot thank you enough for your assistance in this journey and you will be always the most important part of our team.”
The developers also look back on how it all started from the games conception in one team member’s house, to its Steam Early Access launch, and finally getting an office. It’s worth the read if you have the time. You can check out the full blog post on Steam.
