Galaxy in Turmoil - Community Event
Hello everyone!
The time has finally come for us to start making waves once more as we power on towards the release of the much anticipated Galaxy in Turmoil demo, in the form of our first major community event. It has been a bumpy road getting to this point but we’ve finally arrived!
Through each step the team has overcome many obstacles involved with unpaid development. From stealing any moment between our day jobs and personal commitments, to working one too many hours late into the night with other responsibilities right around the corner. Through all the blood, sweat, and caffeine we have continually pushed to bring something we feel is both special, and will capture new memories for our fans and ourselves.
To celebrate this journey we’ve decided to allow our beloved fans a shot at earning the date of our demo release prior to when we originally scheduled to announce it. It has been the fan support that brought us this far, it only felt right to allow for it to show its presence again in a more tangible manner.
Thank you all so very much for the continued support over the years, and hopefully many more to come.
To Participate in this event simply head over to our official Discord server at https://discordapp.com/invite/galaxyinturmoil and take gander at the #community_event channel!
