- The Galaxy Overview - 14 July 2022
Today we wanted to discuss the universe within The Galactic Junkers. Based on our own universe, there’s a vast galaxy to explore with interesting things to discover in each one. Here is a bit more information about some of the planets in the game's universe. Of course, this isn't them all, we want to give players some surprises to explore and discover too! Mars Station is the heart of the Union, where High Command controls the system with an iron fist. The Union is the largest faction in the solar system and is constantly fighting the pirates in all their forms all the while wearing cool red and black leather and wearing sweet official looking hats and helmets. Venus Station is another one of the Union sectors, it is famous for being the home of Eclipse Space Munch. The advertising slogan “When you can’t find a sandwich, Eclipse Space Munch will do” has made Space Munch the food of choi…

- Developer Update! - 6 May 2022
Mark and James here! Today we have some really exciting news to share about the future of The Galactic Junkers. As you know, we were looking to Kickstarter for backing to help us get over the final hurdle of bringing our dream game to PC and consoles. However, the fantastic Green Man Gaming Publishing stepped in at the perfect time. 💚 Green Man Gaming’s Publishing team got it from the off, and that was something that was important to us, there’s a lot of off-kilter humour in The Galactic Junkers that we were pleased someone else was appreciating it outside of our little circle! Now we focus heavily on developing the game and making it the best it can possibly be whilst involving the community and players along the way. 👩🚀👨🚀👩🚀👨🚀 This is really exciting for us as two indie developers, and we are so excited to be collaborating with Green Man Gaming Publishing on this adventure…

Rest assured, involving the community in the direction and during the development of the game is still going to be at the heart of everything we do. We'll have more to share about this exciting news very soon, but…
