Hello everyone,
After working on Gala Collider for 3 years since the alpha release, we have finally decided to shut down Gala Collider on Steam and pause the game’s development. The game has continued to show potential (no design dead ends / good feedback from "the community") but progress building a player base and vibrant community has never made any headway due to the “perpetual unfinished state” of the game.
As we’ve gone through this year, we’ve realized that we still have a lot more we want to do to complete the game, and the pace of development is not high enough to feel like the project could reach completion in a realistic timeframe. We are also faced with the reality that the game is built on aging tech (older versions of Unity and plugins) that we would need a lot of time to refactor.
As such, we would need to either be working on the game full time, or have substantially more funding available to achieve this. This has led us to, sadly, decide that we will be shutting down the servers for Gala Collider and stopping development.
We’ve spent a lot of time working on the game, and we still believe in the unique experience it brings, so we plan on taking this experience and utilizing it towards developing new games and platform solutions.
Our initial idea is to develop a much simpler game, taking the core elements of Gala Collider and building it into something new that is less ambitious. But it is still too early to say for sure what will develop, when, and what exactly it will be.
We will still keep our discord server active: https://discordapp.com/invite/0tM1uv8T7aWP9385
And you can still reach us by email at: [email protected]
The final day of our game running on steam will be November 25th. If you have games in progress, you can still finish them up by then but no new purchases, or account subscriptions will be allowed.
