Hey everyone!
We wanted to give you a quick update on our plans for the full 1.0 release of Galactic Glitch, which is coming in about one month from now!
First off, we want to say thanks to all of you for making our Early Access journey so awesome. We're super happy with our over 200 reviews and 91% positive rating! The EA period has been great for getting tons of feedback that helped us improve the game even further. You guys are the best!
We're adding a lot of new things in 1.0, starting with lots new content to deepen the experience:
- New levels with unique mechanics
- More enemies and bosses to challenge your wits and skill
- More weapons with different attack styles to build up your arsenal
- More Powers to create your own customized and crazy powerful builds
- A completely revamped and updated HUD
We're also rebalancing the game's difficulty and progression completely, with a much stronger focus on Roguelike fans, who enjoy a deeper challenge. In exchange for upping the difficulty we've also increased some options of creating awesome builds, meaning that you'll need to think and plan to craft a truly powerful build. And you'll definitely need it to succeed in your goal, of escaping the simulation!
Besides the new content and updated progression, there will also be completely new features and mechanics in the game. One of those new feature is actually one that many EA players have been asking for: Unique starter ships!
The way it works: You'll be able to find and capture many wild and abandoned prototype ships which Siren created in the past, on her previous escape attempts. Once captured and returned to the Hub, you'll be able to tame and control them, and then swap them in as your own. Each of these prototypes will have unique stats and characteristics and will make for very different runs.
We think these new starter ships will be an awesome addition to the game, and will offer you many new and exciting ways to plan and execute your builds on each run!
Now on to some orga stuff:
Beta Phase
We're planning a beta phase about a week before release (so in about 3 weeks from now), which will be available to all EA players. This is your chance to jump into the new content early and try out all the new goodies the game has to offer, before everyone else jumps in!
Price Update
With the full release approaching, we'll be increasing the price of Galactic Glitch to 14.99 USD/EUR in the next days. If you've been thinking about jumping in, now's the perfect time to grab the game at its Early Access price!
