1. The Exciting Evolution of Super Galactic
Super Galactic is on an ever-evolving journey to make the user experience truly out-of-this-world.
Recent changes & updates reflect the developersâ ongoing commitment to delivering an immersive, dynamic gaming experience.
Expanding Gameplay Horizons
There have been significant improvements to Super Galacticâs gameplay. Our clip highlights and released videos are intended to give players a glimpse into the results of dedicated gameplay testing and intricate balancing, which involves countless hours of testing.
The updates aim to provide a fair and challenging environment that fuels the competitive spirit while keeping the gameplay fun and engaging.
However, balancing a game and its characters is a continuous process that will take months to perfect once we have a solid player base in the closed- and open beta.
An Ever-Evolving Game Interface
Among the recent (internal) updates, quite a few focus on the game interface, aiming to make it more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The design team has worked tirelessly to ensure that every change aligns with the overall visual aesthetics of the game.
The modifications include enhancing the visual cues of the ability cooldown UI and improving the presentation of the in-game item shop.
The item display now has a cleaner look, providing players with more ease in purchasing and utilizing in-game items.
Embracing Web 3 Technologies
Super Galactic is leveraging the potential of Web 3. This innovative technology brings a decentralized, transparent, and user-controlled experience.
The developers are testing and iterating on both the Web 3 and gameplay side to create a seamless blend of blockchain technology and engaging gameplay. This step aims to elevate the gaming experience by giving players a sense of ownership and active participation in the game universe.
Polishing the Experience
Numerous bug fixes have also been introduced, making the gameplay smoother and more stable. These include resolving the elusive âdisappearing mini-mapâ issue, fixing the erratic behavior of character abilities, and mending the overlapping text on the leaderboards. More on that below.
2. Super Galactic Updated & Patch Notes
This section will take you through these changes, offering a comprehensive understanding of what they will mean for players and how they contribute to the gameâs development trajectory.
The game developers have made several adjustments, & improvements, ranging from gameplay mechanics, visual effects (VFX), and sound effects (SFX) to error fixes. Here are some of the highlights:

- Healing & Pickups Fix: The new update ensures no healing and pickups when the playerâs character dies.
- Ammo Pickup: Ammo pickup has been fixed when the pickup quantity exceeds the clip size.

- Blazing Shields: There was an issue of infinitely spawning visuals, which has been resolved.
- Drop Generator Parameters: Adjusted for a better gameplay experience.
- Main Menu Error Spam: Earlier, disconnecting from a game would cause a network logic issue, creating a flood of error messages. This has been fixed.
Visual and Sound Enhancements
Visuals and sounds play a significant role in the immersive experience of a game, which is why the Super Galactic team has made multiple improvements in these areas:
- VFXs update: Various skills like Firewhip, Toxic waste, dancing lights, and others received VFX sound updates. The playerâs death now has a unique VFX.
- Sound Fixes: Both human characters and the Xenos (bug planet) now have improved sounds.
- New Animations and Models: The game introduced a new model and animation for many armed shiva effects. The visual effect now smoothly follows the character when active.

Closed Beta
So how does all of this affect the Super Galactic closed beta, and what can closed-beta players expect to see of the Web 3.0 integration? You will soon know yourself if you are among the lucky chosen ones.
The closed beta will allow players to test the updated client with all the above changes, along with a seamless Web 3.0 login, and mint their own test NFT, which is required to play the game. They can also play the latest updates, such as the PVP Duel, Team Deathmatch mode, and the updated PVE modes.
The Making of Super Galactic
Refining Super Galactic involves a lot of time, layers, and development. Itâs about creating an engaging game and ensuring every aspect is polished and works harmoniously, checking and rechecking, testing and retesting, and not stopping until the experience is just right.
Itâs fueled by a passion for gaming and a commitment to the players.
The team is dedicated to improving every game aspect, from character balance and gameplay mechanics to Web 3 integration.
3. Staking dApp First Anniversary!
As the UFO Gaming Staking dApp embarks on its second year, users can look forward to the extension of Plasma Point rewards. This will continue until the emission of Plasma has exceeded the ten million mark.
However, the UFO reward emission has stopped accruing from July 30th, 2023. Itâs worth noting that all UFO token rewards accrued before July 30th, 2023, remain claimable with a one-year claim time, as expected. This means that even if the UFO token rewards have ceased to accrue, players who earned them before the cut-off date can claim what theyâve earned.
Letâs recap some of the Plasma- and UFO reward information:
Plasma Points
