Gloria Victis

Black Eye Games says Gloria Victis has reached a milestone, and is ready to transition into its beta phase. As they rightly toot their own horn for this accomplishment, they want their players to know that they couldn't have done it without them, and thank them for their trust, patience, help and cheering them on.
