Calling all space captains!
Today we are giving YOU the chance to get a hands on with The Galactic Junkers for the first time ever. Be vigilant though, as invites are limited!
We know. Being the captain of a spaceship can be a bit daunting, especially when there’s a price on your head. Not to mention the bounty hunters, space pirates, and even the Galactic Union are trying to hunt you down.
Fear not, because all you need are your wits, your crew, and your trusty ship! Sure, the ship might be falling apart and your crew isn’t… well… competent to say the least. But! With a little luck and support from M.O.E (your ship’s trusty built in AI) we just know you’ll be able to keep everything ship-shape.
Think you’ve got what it takes to take on the madness that is about to unfold?
Beta will be on 31st May for one week only, and invites will be given out in waves! Register for access by visiting the Steam Store page and requesting access: 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!
Although all this exciting stuff has been happening, the work hasn’t slowed down on developing the game. Here’s a quick update on what else we have been working on so far.
🪐 DEVELOPER UPDATE 🪐

Fully Backed on Kickstarter!
Hi everyone!
First and foremost, a huge thank you for the heartwarming outpour of love towards us. The response has been amazing from the second we shared The Galactic Junkers with the world.
We have been working on developing the game and getting it to a polished state and can't wait to get the first iteration the game into your hands!
Today we have some VERY exciting news to share...
The Galactic Junkers has been approached and privately backed. This means we can now bring our dream to reality without needing to ask for that final bit of support from the community!
We are both really excited by this opportunity and know this private backing is what will be best for the game. 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 for now, please consider supporting us by helping spread the word! You can follow us on Twitter or add the game to your wishlist. We'll be posting regular updates about the progress of the game right here!
We'll be keeping you updated every step of the way.
We hope you're as excited as we are! Stay tuned for more news and information very soon!

Welcome to The Galactic Junkers
Hi everyone!
We have been keeping our heads down and working hard on the development of The Galactic Junkers recently. Today we are ready to show our progress with the world, and invite you on this journey, by bringing our upcoming comedic space combat adventure game to Kickstarter!
First, a quick message from M.O.E! We've installed this trusty AI on every ship to help you aspiring captains on your journey with hints, tips and tricks!
"Hello world!
I'll be on hand to guide you through every step of the way on your journey as our newly appointed captain. I'll also be on hand to give you important information and updates from The Evil Twin devs.
Maintaining a ship and crew doesn’t always come easy, especially with all the hull breaches and fires, we are looking for additional funding for the final stage of the Galactic Junkers voyage! If you can assist no matter how great or small you will be rewarded with our gratitude, the chance to take on voyages as part of the Galactic Junkers Crew or even greater rewards!
Stay tuned for further communications and more info on what you can expect!" - M.O.E Your friendly ship AI
We are Mark & James, two brothers from the not-so sunny United Kingdom. We’ve made Naval Combat games in the past, but The Galactic Junkers is one that is very close to our hearts. When we were young we’d play with our Star Wars figures, watch Blake’s 7 and Doctor Who on TV, and read Marvel, DC and 2000AD comics relentlessly, all this has formed into this crazy 80's inspired sci fi mash up!
The Galactic Junkers will transport you to a far away galaxy to become the space captain you always wanted to be. The only problem is that your ship needs work, there’s a price on your head, and your crew are idiots! What could possibly go wrong...
The Kickstarter campaign marks an important step in the journey for us, because bringing The Galactic Junkers into the hands of the community is so important to us. Not only will the funding from this campaign will go towards the additional development tools and resources needed to bring the project to completion on PC and the addition of console support, it will also let us work closer with the supporters to steer the direction of the game during these crucial development stages!
We know Kickstarter isn't everyone's cup of tea, so you can also support us by telling your friends and Wishlisting the game on Steam!
