The Mirandus VOX Box drop brought in a huge wave of users trying to purchase a limited supply of 8888 total VOX Boxes. While there were some challenges with the order queue and distributions, once the dust settled, we were able to look back and see a few amazing statistics. Let’s take a look at a breakdown of the numbers.

Lots of Proud VOX Box Owners

The average number of VOX Boxes sold per order was just over 2. More than 3,100 of these purchases were unique buyers. We can use these figures to make future sales even more tailored to our community.

We are also extremely happy to see that over 2,000 Gala Gold members and over 1,300 Node owners were able to purchase VOX Boxes. We would like to reaffirm our commitment to developing new ways to serve those most devoted to the Gala Games community and ecosystem.

It’s also nice to see 25% of purchases were from new customers or those who had recently purchased a Gold membership. Consumer interest in VOX Boxes is growing, and the future is looking even brighter!

Today, the official Mirandus VOX Collection on OpenSea shows 4300 unique owners for the 8888 total VOX Boxes.

VOX in a Box

As you can see from activity on OpenSea, these Mirandus VOX Boxes are incredibly popular, and we cannot wait for you to see the INCREDIBLE voxel art that has been created for this project…The sheer scope and quality of what’s to come is going to blow your minds!

Don’t forget! VOX Boxes will first be redeemable for VOX on December 16th through the VOX Website. From that day forward, Box owners will have the ability to mint their unique VOX through a connected Metamask wallet. Look for a more detailed guide next week with VOX Box exchange instructions.

The Future

Congratulations to everyone who was able to get a VOX Box in this hugely successful sale! Those of you who were disappointed this time — Don’t worry! There will be more chances to gets your hands on VOX in 2022 and beyond!

The VOX metaverse is coming, as is the highly anticipated VOXcoin, the key ingredient to the “Avatars that DeFi” aspects of VOX! The Gala Labs team is absolutely packing these adorable avatars with utility. Mirandus and Town Star are only the beginning!

Who knows? There may even be some exciting news dropped about the future of VOX at -into the galaverse this weekend. Make sure you don’t miss Monday’s big Galaverse Live stream from 11am-2pm PST!

It’s time to have some good old fashioned creative fun, Town Stars!

We’re kicking off a special Town Star Winter Community Art Contest. Submissions will be accepted for the next two weeks in a special (temporary) new Discord channel — #Town-Star-Winter-Art-Project.

Old Fashioned is Encouraged

While we absolutely love digital art, there’s just something magical about picking up a pencil and paper, or designing and coloring a masterpiece with crayons or markers. You may want to cross-stitch or knit something. Maybe you are a sculptor. Anything that you can photograph is just fine!

Cameras are everywhere. We hope you can use this opportunity to create some physical and memorable that you will treasure forever. It will serve as a reminder of an extremely successful year’s end as a member of the Gala Games ecosystem, and it will give you an excuse to step away from the screens for a few minutes to recapture the childlike sense of creativity that is so important to us as a community and company.

A Word from the Director

“I was really excited to hear this was happening as I think Town Star is such an endearing world — and combining that with Christmas seems like a match made in heaven. I really can’t wait to see what y’all come up with! I’ll be watching that Discord channel closely.”

–Warren Marshall, Town Star Art Director

Creation is Creation’s Prize

There will not be any official prizes in this contest. We are simply interested in our amazing community showing off its creativity with some Town Star winter art. There will be plenty of other times to win and earn in this ecosystem. In fact, we’re experts at creating such opportunities. This time, just have fun and create something to be shared. Our “finalists” or “winners” will be proudly shared with our wider community via social media and blog posts.

We can hardly wait to see the wonders you create. Hopefully, some members of the Gala Games team (now over 150 strong) will join in the fun as well!

What are you waiting for? Go create some art. Once it’s polished and ready to share with the world, pop it into the #Town-Star-Winter-Art Discord channel so everyone can see what you did!

We have an incredibly supportive community: The best in the entire crypto world. Let’s let our community members experience that loving support first hand for a change as they drink up compliments from their peers for the amazing art they’ve created. No judgement. Just congratulations. Thanks for being here.

Town Star Website

Well, this is a little awkward. We’re preparing to reveal and open presale for two incredibly exciting new games to be added to the Gala Games ecosystem. We’ll tell you everything we can, but with this governance vote, there will be a prevailing element of mystery, as we are not yet able to announce the titles or developers of these games.

This 24 hour Founder’s Node vote will begin sometime tomorrow (December 9th). We will announce in Discord as soon as the vote is live.

Why Vote First?

You may be wondering why we don’t wait until after the announcement of these titles to initiate the standard Founder’s Node governance vote.

At -into the galeverse we plan to not only reveal these two amazing games, but launch their initial presales and mint NFT items. This means that the governance vote must be conducted before any items are sold.

Why Not Say More?

You may be wondering why we cannot reveal the titles and developers of these games. The answer is simply that the Galaverse announcement has been specifically arranged through detailed negotiations. With games of this caliber, confidentiality is of utmost importance, as is honoring every part of every deal.

By submitting the new games for the approval of our Node operators, we are honoring the deal we made with our ecosystem. By respecting the confidentiality and coordinated release specifications of the new developers joining our platform, we honor our agreements with them as well.

Trust us. You’ll want these games to be part of our ecosystem.

Project 1— Survival MMORPG

This is the kind of thrilling addition to the Gala Games ecosystem that you’ll have to see to believe. In a brutal game of survival against (yet untold) forces, players will own land and try to carve out an existence for themselves in an apocalyptic frontier backed by the blockchain.

The title itself is a well-known household name, and the style of play lends itself beautifully to blockchain gaming. Its creepy atmosphere and spine-tingling style will blow you away, and the play-to-earn ownership mechanics will allow players and land owners to earn in exciting new ways. Additionally, the notoriety of this title will lead hordes of new players to discover blockchain gaming through Gala Games.

Project 2— Business Simulation

This game has already been thoroughly developed by one of the most esteemed creators in the professional gaming space. In what the well known developer describes as a “light bulb moment” while talking with Mirandus Game Director Michael McCarthy, it was decided that this title fits own-your-experience blockchain gaming in an absolutely perfect way.

The game itself is about ownership and business development. Using their own creativity and wiles, players create and grow businesses from idea to empire. With a world class development team at the helm and a complete play-to-earn economy brought to life by the experts at Gala Games, this title is sure to be an instant hit.

On to the Vote

We are so excited about both of these titles that we have them slated for release at -into the galaverse next weekend.

Node operators: Submit your votes for the next 24 hours, and we look forward to filling you in on all the juicy details live at -into the galaverse!

Will the Gala Games Founder’s Node operators add two new gaming titles to the ecosystem, both created by prominent and successful game developers, in exchange for a 4–8% distribution of all NFTs created by these titles? Project 1 is an MMORPG Survival game and Project 2 is a Simulation game. More information about both titles will be released at Into the Galaverse on December 11th, 12th and 13th.

Options

Yes — I want these titles to join the Gala Games platform and ecosystem.

TL;DR

• There have been updates to Gala Games’ login security which move the login domain to auth.gala.games — please check to make sure you are using the correct site.
• This change will take place in approximately one hour.
• 2-Factor Authentication is very strongly recommended to protect your account
• Node Operators must upgrade to the newest Node Software by January 3rd, 2022.

We know that the internet can be a scary place sometimes, so we always want to do our best to keep users as safe as possible. That is why our team here at Gala Games is hardening the security surrounding our login processes. While this will involve a dollop of change, it’s nothing too tricky.

It might look a little different, but it won’t hurt a bit. By improving our security and scalability, we’ll be able to head forth into the future more prepared than ever.

Everyone Loves a Login!

The next time you log into your account at Gala Games, you’ll be redirected to a new Welcome login prompt asking for your email address and password. Complete both fields and click on Continue.

If you have 2FA (two-factor authentication) set up on your account (this important security measure is highly recommended), you will be redirected to another prompt asking you to Verify Your Identity.

Type in your temporary code and click on Continue. This will complete your login process to your Gala Games Account. If you don’t have 2FA set up, you won’t see this second Verify Your Identity prompt.

I Forgot my Password… I think.

If you don’t remember your password on the Welcome prompt, you can click the Forgot Password link below the Password field and go through the steps to reset your Password. It’s a quick process.

I WANT MY 2FA!

If you decide to activate or deactivate the 2FA on your account, you can now do so through the Settings page through the Two-Factor Authentication link. It’s a simple process that might look a little different from what you’re used to.

We recommend that you enable 2FA for all actions within your account for the greatest possible security.

Issues You May Encounter

If you have reset your password or email in the last several hours, you may encounter temporary login issues. They are expected to be resolved within 12 hours.

If you reset your password, your nodes will need to be upgraded to version 2.3.X in order to log in again.

Noodling in the Nodes

You will be required to upgrade your Node software to the latest version no later than January 3, 2022. After installing the latest version, you should be able to log in with your email address and password like before.

If you recently changed your password and are having problems logging in with the old software, you should be able to login successfully after you’ve installed the latest version of the Node software. Please note a separate browser window will appear to confirm device registration.

Upcoming Improvements

There are other changes on the near horizon for platform security, including:

• Automatic Bot Prevention
• IP-based Login Confirmation
• Adaptive MFA

Back to the Gaming!

We appreciate your patience with our new, albeit slightly different looking, login process as we continue to improve your Gala Games experience one day at a time.
