Town Star Nodes — Round 2 Coming Soon

Town Star Nodes — Round 2 Coming Soon


This is your advance warning that it’s almost time for the next batch of Town Star Node licenses to hit the store.

Town Star Node FAQ

Licenses from the first batch in November were sold out in less than 5 minutes, so we want to ensure that everyone hoping to operate a Town Star Node will have all the information they need to be ready. While we cannot yet tell you exactly when the release will take place, we will fill you in on several important details.

Time

At some point in the next two weeks, you will be given 48 hours’ notice (via article, Discord and email announcement) of the coming sale. At that time, we will give you a specific 2-hour window. The exact time during that 2-hour window at which the licenses will be available will not be revealed until the moment of release.

This is a new measure designed to encourage fairness and allow as many as possible the opportunity to participate in the extremely limited quantity drop. Prospective purchasers will have to watch closely in Discord and on the platform, as the licenses could be released at any time during that 2-hour window.

Price

We are pleased to announce that Town Star Node licenses purchased with TOWN will be available for a discounted price. GALA-purchased licenses will also be discounted at a medium level, and other currencies will be accepted for the full retail price of the license.

The current number of Town Star Nodes in existence is determined by the number of players participating in Town Star Play-to-Earn. Each time a new batch of licenses is released price will either increase or stay the same. Below are the prices for the first batch of licenses that will be available in the coming release, but it is possible it will be followed by an additional batch at higher pricing.

TOWN Starting Price — $14,000

GALA Starting Price — $15,000

Other Currencies Starting Price — $17,500*

*USD prices are approximate and may vary slightly depending on fluctuating market value of TOWN, GALA and ETH.

Limit

Only 2 Town Star Node licenses may be purchased in a single transaction. This will allow a greater number of players to participate in the Game Specific Node Ecosystem and contribute to greater decentralization of our network.

Founder’s Node Drops

As previously mentioned, 5% of the total quantity of Town Star Node licenses will be distributed to Founder’s Node operators whose Nodes have met the minimum requirements for the day. For this upcoming batch of Town Star Node licenses, the Founder’s Node portion will be randomly distributed using the standard method the day before the sale.

Town Star Node licenses will also be distributed to Founder’s Node operators at that time to account for the licenses sold in November that exceeded the originally intended quantity. After this round of drops, 5% of the total quantity of Town Star Nodes will have been distributed to Founder’s Node operators.

Speaking of Community…

Speaking of Community…


Can you feel it? Something powerful surrounds you. It’s you.

At Gala Games, when we express our gratitude and our sense of pride in what we are building, there is one word that is repeated more than any other. That word is community.

No matter how large we grow, how many games are playable on our platform and how many partnerships we create, fostering a sense of community lives at the core of our vision. When we talk about player empowerment, it may seem that we are empowering you. In reality, you are empowering yourselves and each other by believing in everything we do.

This community is made of people of all walks of life from all over the world. These people are more unique than the most incredible NFTs we could mint, more valuable than the most useful token we could imagine, and more special than the most compelling game we could create.

The short video below, which was premiered at -into the galaverse on December 11th 2021, was made to remind us all of this essential sense of community. As it played on the many large screens of the Hub Stage, there were few dry eyes in the audience. When people begin to understand the empowerment opportunities available in our community, lives are changed. This video highlights just a few examples.

Be sure to visit the vid on Youtube and leave a supportive comment!

Together we Rise

When we look at individual lives that have been affected positively by the decentralized gaming world we are creating, it becomes easy to see the true possibilities.

We hope you are as proud as we are to be part of such an astounding community. As we continue to grow in 2022 and beyond, we will do everything in our power to nurture and grow this community and to facilitate life-changing experiences throughout the world. Thank you for being here.

Power to the Players.

US Node Tournament — Watch the Finals Live!

US Node Tournament — Watch the Finals Live!


Once upon a time in 2021, there was an epic Spider Tanks tournament open only to US-based Gala Games Founder’s Node operators. For an entire week, 16 teams of 3 players battled it out in a single elimination tournament until 2 finalists emerged.

The original plan was to bring these two winning teams -into the galaverse, where they would compete alongside the 2 finalists of the Korea-based Node Tournament until a single Galaverse champion emerged.

Unfortunately, plans changed due to the pandemic situation and heavy restrictions imposed on travelers from South Korea. We were unable to conduct the finals of this tournament in person as planned during Galaverse Live, so the event was replaced by the Chicken Cup Classic (which was gloriously won by 3 brave members of the Gala Games team).

Now it’s time to finish the mayhem that we started in November to determine the true champions of the US-based Node Tournament.

Tune in LIVE tonight — 6pm PST at the link below!

At a later date TBA, the finals of the Korean Node Tournament will always narrow the field to a single victor, who will face off against the US champion for the ultimate Spider Tanks Node championship!

Celestial Claim Presale Update — Edge of the Aurora

Celestial Claim Presale Update — Edge of the Aurora


The first portion of the Celestial Claim Land Presale is about to conclude!

Few will forget the series of supercharged moments at GALActic Station in Koller’s Gate that sparked the civil war. The three Factions came together not to compromise and negotiate peace treaties as they claimed, but to claim your allegiance for themselves.

From the Hub Stage production for Echoes of Empire at -into the galaverse

Each Faction wants to be the prevailing force of galactic control. The Monarchy with their aristocratic legacy and bloodlines wish to protect tradition, uniting the galaxy under one rule. Their path is to restore a similar order that was once held by the Emperor, giving power to Princess Isabella and her house to explore further through the unknowns of the galaxy, even beyond what the Miasma has hidden for generations.

Entering the Echoes of Empire experience at -into the galaverse

The Arbeiters seek a prosperous galaxy of trade where cooperation is king. They wish to explore and share the bountiful resources of undiscovered planets to build wealth and abundance for all, as long as they are lining their own pockets in the process. While this commercial Faction has the loyalty of many common people, nobles and house leaders hesitate to trust their selfish motives.

Finally, the Garrison will use all the power in its control to force the compliance of anyone who stands in its way. This rogue military remnant of the Empire has powerful ships and substantial firepower, as well as a hearty supply of both cruelty and ambition. The end of law and order will always justify the means for these power-hungry militarists, led by the vicious General Alban Strauss.

From the Echoes of Empire experience at -into the galaverse

The infamous smuggler, Valentina Barbaro, is now deeply entangled in these galactic politics, as leaders of each Faction are searching for her. Simply by being in the wrong place at the right time, Valentina led them all to believe that she holds secrets of immeasurable power. Now she is on the run, searching for answers, but like the victim of some unforgiving quicksand, the more she struggles, the deeper she is drawn into the treachery and chaos. Where will it end? Who can she trust? Where will she go next?

The Celestial Claim Land Presale

The first land presale for Echoes of Empire is tied to the narrative adventures of Valentina Barbaro as she travels throughout the galaxy. When she enters a new Star Cluster, that Cluster’s Claims are temporarily opened for sale. When she leaves that Cluster, any remaining Claims are temporarily removed from the store.

Currently, Valentina is on the run and leaving the Aurora’s Edge Cluster following the Garrison’s aggression at GALActic Station (Galaverse) that led to the outbreak of the new galactic civil war.

Within a few short hours of the publishing of this post, Aurora’s Edge Celestial Claims will be removed from the store. It is unknown when they will be available again, but at that time they will have higher prices.

NOTE: The 1/1 Ancient Claims will not be removed from the store

Look for the next installments of the Valentina story soon and the revelation of her next destination. This will determine which of the Star Clusters will be opened for round 2 of the presale.

Part 1 — Kepler’s Remnant

Part 2 — Sovereign Protectorate

Part 3 — Lightspire

Part 4 — Shepherd’s Void

Part 5 — Celestious Nox

Part 6 — The Crucible

Part 7 — Edge of the Miasma

Part 8 — The Pale

Part 9 — In Too Deep

Part 10 — The Quick Slip

Part 11 — Danger’s Dock

Part 12 — Face the Aurora

Part 13 — Koller’s Gate

The Town Star Rulebook

The Town Star Rulebook


Town Star is the flagship game of the Gala Games platform. The competitive and play-to-earn game of town and city organization is always growing and evolving.

It’s fairly simple to pick up Town Star and learn the ropes quickly after creating your Gala Games account. Completing the Daily Challenge to unlock P2E rewards (for those who hold Gala Power and NFTs) can be a bit trickier at first, but that’s why they call it a “challenge.” In the interest of making the game even easier for new players to grasp, we have decided to lay out this Town Star Rulebook for your reference.

The Week-to-Week Flow

The values described in this Rulebook will henceforth be called the Standard Rules. These are the basic values that are at the core of Town Star gameplay. Every regular player should be fairly familiar with these rules. Any permanent changes to the Standard Rules will be published in this guide.

In the past, we have often referred to this collection of numbers as the “Meta.” For example, “The Meta will be changing in next week’s competition,” or “Have you tried the new Candy Cane Meta?” We will steer away from this type of phrasing in the future for maximum clarity.

Dynamic Rules

Sometimes rules will change. We won’t always give you advanced warning, and we won’t always tell you how long these changes will remain in effect.

These changes may focus on a particular crop or relate to the function of a new NFT we have released in the store. They may raise the trade or Star value of certain goods but reduce the value of others.

When we report new rule changes, we will only report the numbers and values that are changing from the Standard Rules described in this guide.

Jan 4-Jan 17 = Standard Rules

Consult the following Google documents for current rules, including changes.
