GLORY - FPS RPG - Vacancies Thread
Project Introduction
GLORY™ is a living world FPS RPG from a fresh yet veteran development studio based in Sydney, Australia with an internationally-diverse staff.
Set in the future during a War of Apathy which threatens to end Earth, you are a pilgrim sent to explore New Gloria -- an uncharted galaxy cluster with the potential to be a stronghold for the humanity's future. After a rough landing, you find yourself on Ferramor, a place with somehow more evil and despair than back home. Can you find hope and a home for humanity? Our Glory awaits.
About Team Reach:
