Galaxy Life
New State of Play
I wish to provide you with an update today. We have read your bug reports and have read your concerns.
We dont always reply but rest assured we do read, it may not seem that way sometimes but we do care a lot about your happiness in this community and in the game.
We have some exciting updates on schedule and in time we will reveal more and more.
However we have reduced our communication and transparency to you, the players. For which we are very sorry.
Hence we started doing biweekly updates so you have a day to look forward to, small bugfixes might still happen through the other days depending on their priority.
Henceforth we also want to do a state of play every month, it will also take place on the first of each month(time will follow) where we discuss what's new in the update for that day, what we have planned for the update on the 15th and any concerns you would like to voice can also be mentioned there.
This call will take place on discord but will be streamed to steam as well so that everyone can follow regardless of if you have discord or not.
The current bugs that we are aware of and will fix asap are:
-Battlelogs disappear
-Crash whilst opening free gifts
-Falcons respawn in bunkers
-Crash during attacks
-Not many targets in target finder
On a more personal note, I know I'm not always too active in chats or comments but this doesn't mean that I don't care. I genuinely lose sleep over what you guys think or feel.
I can promise you that I will always work my hardest to provide you with a great experience, keep reporting the bugs and we'll get on them. Post your suggestions at https://polls.galaxylifegame.net and I'll read them and consider them.
In the end, let's make this a great experience for everyone!

Cube,Unit rebalance and bug fixes
Welcome back chiefs, today we have pushed a new update fixing alot of issues and rebalanced alot of underpowered units. Here's the changelog:
Changes
-Balance update
-Fix crash on spying from battlelog
-Fix crash during battles on some bases
-Fix brief 0 storage bug causing failed Star Base & Silo upgrades/crashloops
-Fix for a "none particles" option issue
-You can no longer be immediately rematched against your previous war opponent
-Translation fixes
We would also like to let everyone know that the war between "Hispanostarlings" and "The revolution" has been forcefully ended, this is becuase the alliance was effectively trying to match up against each other to farm war points. So this is a reminder for everyone that intentionally farming against each other is not allowed we will forcefully stop any war where we notice this happens and punish those doing it.

More actual content coming soon™️ ofc but we wanted to get these things pushed sooner because we felt like they were quite important.
Bug/Crash fixes
Some small changes were pushed today that should fix alot of issues that have been occurring in the Galaxy lately! This includes the issue where players would randomly be sent back to the tutorial phase on a colony or friend's planet.
We also fixed random crashes that would happen during and or after a battle causing the entire battle to end up not being saved at all.
Note: Every user was given 40 chips as compensation for the recent bugs.
See you in the Galaxy chief!
Development update
As you might have noticed it has been awhile since we last published a big update, this is because we had to put full focus on the anti cheat for a long time giving us almost no time to work on updates. However, starting from now we'll be putting our focus back on content updates and will try to deliver a lot more in the coming months. We will be keeping everyone up to date on development here and in our discord on,
discord.gg/galaxylife
See you in the Galaxy chief!
Progress update on backend storage rewrite
Tomorrow is the day in which we will start testing using it entirely in place of what we currently use on staging. If these initial tests go well we will expand on the amount of testers we have to ensure the stability remains the same even with a lot of players active(this is the issue we had in the first week of launch)
If all goes well we will slowly migrate all the data and push the change into production allowing all of you to enjoy it!
Tiny patch
Maintenance over
- Fixed crashes during battles
- Fixed duplicate battlelogs
- 7 minor visual fixes
- Mystery Cubes were nerfed
If you're having any issues make sure to let us know!
