Gloria Victis Receives A "Massive Gameplay Update"

Black Eye Games announced today via press release that Gloria Victis has just received a "massive gameplay update." This update introduces the building and upgrading of fortifications. Walls, towers, gates, and even entire castles can be built from scratch. They can later be upgraded to be double-reinforced or to have added pots of boiling oil, for example. In the future, the developers plan to add the ability to build within fortifications. Such constructions might include player housing, spawn points, or siege machines.

This update also makes major changes to combat. Feints and kicks have been added to the combat system, both of which were requested by players. Kicking can break the player's block, even in PvE, and the team hopes that these additions will make combat more skill-based and less repetitive.

Right now, the team is working on last minute polish for the inventory and guild system overhauls. These should begin testing within the next few days. After that, they are moving on to implementing the basics of survival gameplay—hunger, alchemy, toxicity, and the effect of weather on the player. That update is expected to hit within the next few weeks.
