Hey all,
I just wanted to leave a final note about Galaxy in Turmoil.
We want everyone to know how grateful we are that the community supported us tirelessly for years as we transitioned from Star Wars to our own IP. We had a ton of ups, and an equal amount of downs.
We put out what the best a rag-tag group of volunteers could do with the resources we had available. However, in the end we burnt ourselves out. The technical demo we released had it's issues and wasn't up to the standard that we fully wanted a release to be. But alas, we could all see the burn-out coming from a mile away - so the release had to take place regardless of the issues.
After the tech demo release and failed Kickstarter, we just didn't have any gas left in the tank. Many of us were fortunate. Some great careers were obtained in the aftermath of Galaxy in Turmoil. A good portion of our team have joined some very successful studios, others have pursued different career paths altogether. Regardless, the one thing we can all agree about is that it was a wild ride, and we wouldn't take back the experience and the long term friendships we made along the way.
As for Galaxy in Turmoil, we have no plans to resurrect it at any point in the near future. There have been talks about if we secure private funding, that we'd discuss continuing. But as for now, GiT is all but dead.
We've left the old build up on Steam for posterity sake, however all officially hosted servers have been taken offline, along with any user systems for scorekeeping, logging in, etc. Likewise, obviously we'll not be providing support for any issues with GiT you may run into if you download the game.
One final note; we let the Frontwire Studios domain name lapse as we had no use for it. Someone re-registered it on March 19th, 2022 and put up a (rough) version of the old website. I'm not sure what their plans are, but just know any content or anything on the website has no connection to anyone from the team.
Once again, thanks for all the support and good times.
GiT Gud,
Fergie
