Gala Gold lifetime VIP upgrades can now be purchased with credit cards, with more Gala Games items to soon follow.

This is one of those huge victories that all you early adopters will understand perfectly. Some of us have spent years experiencing the woes and inconveniences of funding Web3 wallets, navigating exchanges, learning about deposits and withdrawals, and much more.

Before we go on further about what this means, the news…

Some Gala Games items may now be purchased with credit cards.

This new feature has only been opened to certain choice items, including Gala Gold lifetime upgrades, as well as some more recent items sold in the store.

More items will soon be opened for credit card purchase on the Gala Games platform, making entry into the Gala Games Ecosystem easier than ever for the masses.

Learn more about the exclusive lifetime VIP and early playtest club at the link below. The membership price will increase again soon.

Big Moment

So why is this such a big moment for Gala Games? Honestly, it’s a pretty big moment for the entire Web3 world. We know we’re not the first ones to integrate credit card acceptance on some level into our platform, but remember: This is not about a bunch of Web3 companies fighting over a single small group of prospects. This is a worldwide movement that will soon reach every corner of the globe with the empowerment of Web3.

We’re here to bring the gamers of the world into Web3, showing them that it’s so much more than another gaming trend, and it’s entirely different from the massive corporate moneygrabs with which today’s gamers are all too familiar. Literally billions of gamers in the world are waiting to be empowered. It’s moves like this announcement that subtly remind them Web3 is here to stay, and it can be trusted alongside (and even beyond) the systems they know.

Once Web3 gaming is embraced by today’s average gamer, the whole world will enjoy the empowerment we all know is possible in the Gala Games Ecosystem. While it may seem like a small feature update, acceptance of credit cards on the Gala Games platform is a great example of a pebble with the power to push the teetering snowball of Web3 gaming down the hill.

Thanks for being part of the Gala Games community, and we look forward to bringing you more mass adoption related updates again soon!

We’re back with another deep dive on a Web3 professional like no other, working hard to bring the future of entertainment into reality.

Community is more than just a collection of people. When like-minded people congregate, it takes exceptional individuals to start the spark of connections that lead to common goals and real community support. These infectiously energetic few exude pure passion for their craft, and their enthusiasm is felt by all around them–spreading like wildfire.

The Gala Games team is leading the charge into the Web3 world, in no small part due to the unrivaled expertise of the multi-disciplined masters behind unprecedented entertainment experiences. Every once in a while, one of these experts also stands as a pillar of the people, driving both creative direction and community spirit to new heights of greatness.

Today we focus on one of those rare individuals–a man who rarely is too busy to experience the small joys of simple human interaction, yet still finds the time to excel in his field with unparalleled efficiency and skill. You may know him as or 1oddgent in Discord… AKA, Todd.

Today we focus on the renowned designer and notoriously vicious defender of all things pizza — Dan!

What is your role at Gala Games?

Lead UI Designer.

What inspired you to do what you do for a living?

It’s hard for chickens to find work nowadays. I wanted to do my part and help them with Town Star.

Favorite part of the Gala Games community?

My favorite thing about the Gala Games community is that it feels like a giant family. Every time I hop on the Discord I feel right at home. We laugh, talk, (respectfully) argue… more like most families do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The relationships I’ve made on Discord are priceless and as a result motivate me to always do my best here at Gala Games.

What are your favorite games?

There are many but I’m going to go with DOOM.

First and foremost, it’s not afraid to be itself. By that I mean a blood ridiculously violent, unapologetically brutal, and metal game where the objective is simple: rip and tear until it is done.

DOOM knows exactly what it wants to be and makes no excuses, hence why it’s a close favorite of mine.

Biggest role models?

That would have to go to my parents, both amazingly loving people who I aspire to be now that I have a family of my own. Growing up they made sure my brothers and I had what we needed and occasionally got what we wanted, never allowing us to forget the difference between the two.

I still go to them for advice, and as I’m continuously learning from them, they remain as dedicated to my brothers and I as today as when we were little kids doing anything but behaving.

Cool hobbies and interests?

I enjoy lifting heavy things up and setting them down for a long period of time.

Proudest gaming moment ever?

Gifting my nephew a PS5 last Christmas, worth all the trouble in finding one to see his reaction.

Favorite Food?

Oh my… pizza of course!

The real question is what kind of pizza, so here are my top three choices:

1. Stuffed crust pizza with extra cheese, extra sauce, and your choice of toppings
2. Deep dish, simply because it can withhold mounds of toppings
3. Cinnamon dessert pizza, a pure masterpiece!

Least favorite food?

Tacos and Sandwiches, everyone knows they are the inferior enemies to pizza.

Everybody should rush to Discord to thank Todd at once for sparing some of his time to answer our questions. It’s always a pleasure to spotlight a hardworking member of the Gala Games team, and an inside look into the brilliant mind of Dan has been long overdue.

We hope every single member of this great community enjoys these features, because we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. There are more members of the team to showcase, and we can’t wait to be back in two weeks with yet another installment of the Galaxian Highlights for you!

Let’s talk about Gala Gold, the exclusive lifetime membership VIP club of the Gala Games community.

If you’re already a member of Gala Gold and have been for some time, then you already know. You’re in the special Discord channels with all the action (and occasional leaks). You personally know how packed with perks this little-known club actually is.

If you have not yet upgraded your account to Gala Gold status, then you probably just don’t know yet. That’s on us. We honestly don’t talk about Gala Gold that much. Why? The short version is that we want it to stay exclusive. You can read the long version below.

Why Don’t We Talk More About Gala Gold?

It’s true, when you start getting down to the specific over-time benefits that come with Gala Gold membership, it’s a wonder we’re not shouting it from the rooftops 24/7

• Gala Games VIP status
• Town Star Express Depot
• Special Discord community & role
• Enhanced team access
• Early sale notices
• Exclusive whitelist opportunities
• Early playtest chances
• Occasional “gold” in-game items delivered to your Gala Games wallet

…and those are just some of the ones we’ve thought of so far.

Here’s the deal. Gala Gold is not for everyone. We needed a good way for our strongest supporters and most enthusiastic community members to stand out, so the Gala Gold club was born. We benefit from Gold members’ experience and valuable feedback, and they benefit from the many various ways that we like to reward Gala Gold members. It’s one of those win-win situations we love to create at Gala Games.

As some of you older community members know, we have raised the price of your lifetime Gala Gold upgrade before, and we’ll probably do it again. What once was a mere $10 is now $50, and who knows where it will go next? We don’t have any plans to reduce the perks and benefits.

Your Voice Can be Heard

The people we appreciate most in the Gala Games Ecosystem are those community members who choose to be the most involved with our community. The Gala Games community was essentially born in Discord, and even with all the growth, Discord is still our most thriving and core community today.

At a glance, you may underestimate the empowerment that can come from accessing a simple exclusive Discord area like Gala Gold. You may think that one Discord area is pretty much the same as any other, and in many ways, you would be correct. But Gala Gold is pretty special.

At Gala Games, we’re not like a lot of video game platform teams you’ve known before. We’re not distant, we’re not aloof, and we’re not pulling the strings from some corporate board room whose comfy-chaired loafers have no idea what’s actually on the community’s mind. We do things differently.

With Discord, we can simply be part of the crowd. We can all spend free time as members of the community we’re building together. We can connect personally with people in the Gala Gold channels even more freely, because we know that every single member of that channel is a loyal member of the Gala Games community.

Let’s take a look at a recent example of an interaction in the Gala Gold channel between Sarah “Bux” Buxton and a couple members of the community. While this is only a joke, it effectively illustrates the way you are listened to as a member of the Gala Gold community: As a peer, as an equal, and as a friend.

How Gala Gold Item Rewards Work

In the past, items have been distributed as rewards to Gala Gold members, like the Superior Plasma Rifle Gold Skin, the Spider Tanks Sentinel Skin, an Echoes of Empire PfP and more. The way these rewards work is simple: Every wallet with Gala Gold unlocked at the time of the distribution receives the reward.

Items distributed to Gala Gold members have never been retroactive. This means you cannot get a Gala Gold reward that was distributed last week when you only upgraded your account yesterday (unless you were to go shopping on the secondary market).

Here’s the kicker: We rarely give you more than a couple day’s notice for these reward items.

Periodic game item rewards are one of the greatest benefits of Gala Gold membership, but the longer you wait, the more items you may miss out on.

Still Not Gold?

Consider this your periodic warning that if you’re still missing out on Gala Gold, then you’re missing out on some cool stuff.

A $50 one-time upgrade makes you a member for life. That means you get all the future Gala Gold stuff, all the exclusive access and news, and a lifetime of satisfaction knowing that you’re a Gala Games VIP.
