Worker-owned cooperative studio The Glory Society has halted operations, ending the development of their exploration game Revenant Hill. The team made the decision collectively due to "serious health issues" among key members, and the suspension is described as amicable. Despite Revenant Hill's earlier showcase, indicating progress towards release, the future of the studio itself remains uncertain. The Glory Society emphasized well-being over game production and expressed gratitude to those who supported their endeavors.
Scott Benson, one of the studio's co-creators, revealed personal health challenges on Twitter, specifically his battle with severe heart failure. The Glory Society, founded in 2019 by Benson, Bethany Hockenberry, and Wren Farren, operated democratically, making decisions as a group. This announcement sheds light on the fragility of game development, especially within smaller, independent studios like The Glory Society.
