Hey, Galaxians! As the nights grow darker and the shadows hide the creepy crawlies, we wanted to reach out to you, our fiends–I mean friendsand fans.😁
With constant thrilling updates and upgrades, we know it’s been a spine tingling year in the crypto crypt and in the Galaverse.
We are thrilled that you have continued to haunt us through these days of seemingly chaotic growth and priority shifts. In some moments it may not have been easy, but we on the VEXI team are especially grateful that you’re here and part of this journey with us.
A Big TREAT
To express our ghoulish gratitude, we have a nice October treat! We are conjuring a very special thank you box to everyone who has ever captured, trapped or kidnapped an NFT from Gala. These NFTs are for our newest game, VEXI Villages, and will have immediate use in the game!
To be 100% clear… EVERYONE who has ever bought an NFT from Gala will receive a special free gift at some point in the next few days, containing 4 VEXI items that are immediately usable in-game!!
But that is not all! There are 3 legendary VEXI skins inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s famous Cthulhu mythos… If you dare gather them all in their unspeakable cosmic evil, then activate them all on the same land in VEXI Villages, you will enjoy a special modifier (it’s a secret!) and they’ll perform a chillingly special animation.
From all of us in the Gala family to all of you, we are glad you are still with us in the journey to bring the cutting edge of gaming into the empowering light of web3.

Hopefully you’ve got some bolts left around, but this version of Daryl is a bit older and wiser – willing to use whatever weapons he has at his disposal.
This week’s direct Hero Card sale brings an older, veteran version of the accomplished tracker and explorer, ready for his adventures in AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2.
Sale Details —
This sale takes place NOW, on Wednesday, October 23rd at 12pm PT. Hero Cards follow a tiered pricing structure based on the remaining supply, with Common Hero Cards staying at one low price throughout the sale.
This sale is not time-limited, and Explorer Daryl will stay available in The Walking Dead: Empires Store until the supply is exhausted or it is taken down to make room for the arrival of new heroes in the future.
Like our other direct Hero Card sales, cards purchased in this sale will fulfill directly to GalaChain so they can be used in the game right away.
Survival Strong
Daryl has been through his share of trials and tribulations. He’s sailed the sea and explored the world. He’s fought things you’ve only seen in your nightmares… and he’s still tougher than nails.
He’s the epitome of resilience and experience you’ll need to grow your empire. Let Daryl’s strength become your strength – his strong will to survive, your survival.
As we approach the release of our first franchise game, we really wanted a fresh start.
Let’s face it. Over the years, VOX has gained some baggage. As the new VOX team, we wanted to leave that baggage behind so we could stride boldly into the future with this awesome community without focusing on past hangups and challenges.
We started off this year by making a giant list of all the past plans – stuff like ‘VOX have utility in a game’ (simple one there right?).
We also took a look at everything we have sold or given away over the years like Gala Land, VOX Souls and other items. We wanted to make sure we held our end on those future features as much as possible.
It was an odd situation, looking at this list and trying to fit a game around all those constraints and expectations.
How do we make 33k characters playable? 🤔
We sold some land, so there has to be land in the game. 🤔
What’s a soul?…ok we need to get that in there too. 🤔
Usually when you design a game you build out a core loop, then expand on it. In some ways we had to build VOX Villages backwards. How do we get all those creatures to work? What’s the best style of game to show off the VOX Land? The questions go on and on. We needed to solve all these issues before we could really hit the ground running to make an awesome mobile game.
Now we are getting to the ‘fun stuff’ of building and decoration. All that resource collection and crafting is going to pay off! It’s so close we can almost taste it– if you could taste pixels.
As we continued collaborating as a team, it became steadily clearer that we were not VOX anymore, we were becoming something else. We were evolving, developing our own identity, ideas and priorities as a game team and as a franchise.
Hence, VEXI was born.
A new start.
A new vibe.
VEXI is a new beginning that looks forward into 2025 and beyond while still respecting the dreams of the past.
We love these little dudes and ladies, orcs and zombies. We have endless ideas for games involving them. We are also exploring some other VEXI use cases, not just as game characters but to become the faces of Gala as they were truly destined to be.
Already VEXI have shown up in the strangest places around the company, from onboarding to internal documentation and slide decks. It always makes the team smile when we see so many staff members adopting a VEXI and using it as their avatar on Slack and Discord.
VEXI Villages is here. We’re in early access now and Villages will only get better in the coming months. Join us for this new adventure with the Gala and VEXI teams as we reach for new heights with the edgy avatars previously known as VOX. Here’s to a bright and rewarding future of web3 gaming and enjoyment!
