Galaxy Life game status
The servers will be turned off within the next half hour or so, and the servers will remain offline while we work out some major bugs. You can stay updated in our Discord server and be notified when the servers come back online.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will we lose any progress made so far during the beta?
No, any progress made so far will remain. We also plan to keep the progress from the open beta when we fully release the game. However, it's unlikely but possible that there will be a critical issue with player data that will require a wipe right before the full release.
If there happens to be a data reset, what happens to the chips I purchased?
If there is a wipe, any chips purchased through Steam will automatically be added back to your inventory after the wipe.
I can't connect. It keeps giving me the error "Server unreachable".
The servers are currently heavily overloaded. As said above, we're working on a fix.
I found a bug. What should I do?
Join our Discord server and send a message to Galaxy Life ModMail#9864 describing the bug and providing photos and videos if possible.
How do I add friends?
Currently, you can only add players that are on your Steam friends list. You can add friends by pressing the invite tab at the top of your screen. Here it'll display all your Steam friends and give you the option to invite them. If none of your Steam friends appear, restart the game from Steam as it did not properly load your friends.
