- Is GiT still a thing? - 22 March 2022
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…
- UPDATE: Login Changes / First Person - 24 October 2020
Sorry for the lack of updates! We've taken to heart a lot of what was said and we wanted to take time to fix what we could. When we launched and things went sideways, we were all a bit bummed. We just needed some time to rest with our families and refocus on life. So, what does this mean for GiT? We've decided as a group that we're going to put less effort into developing new content for the time being. However that doesn't mean that we're stopping altogether. We'll continue to support the game as it is, fix issues here and there, especially any game breaking ones. If you want to support us during that time - we're more than willing to accept any help! You can make donations via PayPal to [email protected] - any donations will 100% go towards the development and support of the game. From updates, to bug fixes, future content and server costs. We do have a few more updates t…
- Update News and Account System Changes - 28 August 2020
Hello everyone! Apologies for the prolonged radio silence, we've listened to the community and are preparing a new update which includes visual changes to The Bowels, bug fixes, minor bot logic changes and some never seen content! We've also been made aware of a problem with our account system which is not allowing anyone to create or login to their FWS account, we're currently in the process of changing our systems around, which means you may not be able to play the game until the next patch.

- GAME UPDATE: New Game Mode! - 25 May 2020
Hello GiT Community! For starters, I wanted to thank you all for checking out the early access release.

- Early Access Release! - 23 May 2020
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for sticking around through the ups and downs that we’ve had. As many of you might know, we launched our Kickstarter and demo previously, and unfortunately the Kickstarter failed. We racked our brains for days trying to figure out why. With over 150,000+ people with the game on their Steam wishlist, it made no sense. After discussions with Valve, we finally found out why. When we released the game as a DEMO, no one got notified of the release. The 150,000+ people with the game on their wishlist never received an email or Steam alert. I’m sure you have the same question we had: Why?! The answer is simple. Those 150,000+ people had the main game on their Steam wishlist, not the demo itself. Steam classes the demo and the main game as two different applications, each with their own wishlist. Whoops! Due to this, the Kickstarter failed, and the ga…
- GiT Demo Launch! 5/23! - 17 May 2020
Hi GiT Community! Sorry for the lack of updates! We've been working on tweaking certain things and making decisions that will impact the demo on release. With that being said, I'm happy to finally announce that next Saturday, May 23rd, the revised demo will go live! This update includes audio fixes, gameplay fixes, bots and more! We're also limiting the game modes and maps that will be available from the get-go. As people learn our game and the first released gamemode, we'll eventually release other game modes and maps. A full changelog will be posted at the time of release. Be sure to share with your friends! Join us on Discord to get in on the discussion: https://discord.gg/galaxyinturmoil

- Patch Notes v1575 - 21 December 2019
Patch Notes for v1575 NOTE: You may need to restart Steam in order to see the update in your downloads. UI – Fixed an issue where the kill feed showed up in the middle of the screen BALANCING – Matched Comm Clutch crosshair behaviour to Vori Clutch (increased speed of crosshair closing) – Flak turret rotation and elevation speed increased as it was losing duels vs. Starfighters that it quite frankly shouldn’t. – Clutch grenade velocity increased significantly to improve its effectiveness at range. – Clutch grenade gravity set to 1x, previously 0.35x, to compensate for this change. – Clutch grenade initial velocity now has a small upwards component, effectively zeroing the Clutch. (You don’t have to aim as high anymore, basically.) VEHICLES – Handling tweaked to be more intuitive and snappy. Especially on the hoverbike. – Camera smoothing decreased significantly. MISC – Changed kill mess…

- Demo release and Kickstarter - 19 December 2019
KICKSTARTER & DEMO RELEASES IN 24 HOURS. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20TH, 1PM EST http://galaxyinturmoil.com/ It's been a long ride. Like a really long ride guys. We've gone crazy these last 3 years trying to get to this point. Countless sleepless nights, hundreds of pizza boxes and thousands of energy drinks later, but we've made it. It's a powerful and profound thing to spend such a measure of time on anything. Every moment outside our families and work were enveloped by GiT. To give up so much personal freedom for a shared goal has been an eye opening and humbling experience. We've learned what were capable of doing on nothing but a hope and dream. It's now time to take that hope and dream with us into the world and pass it onto everyone else. This is our gift to you. We finally made it, and so have you. Thank you all so much for keeping up with us.
