Unreal Engine
Development Roadmap
Galaxy Life is evolving with Unreal Engine for a smoother, richer experience. Enhanced performance. Improved gameplay.
Pushing the game to new heights.
We know some of you would've wanted an early 2025 release.
We believe it'd simply not be a polished enough experience, not to mention the lack of core features such as attacks or wars.
Here's some clarification about some of the roadmap content:
- Remaining of 2024: all about re-adding features to the game and making sure they function
- Alpha Testing: this period is where we will polish the game to a user-friendly state, start removing debug stuff & do baseline testing to make sure the game doesn't crash & to make sure it performs well
- Beta Testing: at this point, the game is already playable, though you will still encounter a ton of bugs. That's what this period is for, fixing those bugs. (Some more polishing might have to occur as well, likely)
- Early Access: the game should feel done, with 90% of bugs done and dealt with, and it will also be a sort of stress test for our servers.
While this port to Unreal is mostly a 1:1 copy of the core game, we hope to bring you a ton of QOL improvements.
