Gameplay


Build a spaceship from random parts under time pressure.




Battle until only one player is standing in a fierce deathmatch. Construct a new ship after each round and repeat.




Team up and fight against the garbage drones living in the junk yard. After each round continue to build on ship.


The game is round based and each round is divided up into two phases; build phase and battle phase. During the build phase each player gets a number of components and has to assemble a spaceship from these under time pressure. During the battle phase the players pilots the ships. They battle against the other or team up against the garbage drones living in the junkyard.

The randomness makes every new round into a new challange because you always have a new ship to battle with. This also makes the game quite addictive.

Key Features

• Three different game modes; deathmatch, Scrap King and survival.
• Deathmatch until only one player remains. A new ship is constructed each round.
• In Scrap King the winner keeps their ship and can continue to build on it.
• In Survival player fight together against garbage drones. The player continues to build on their ship after each wave of enemies.
• It exists 12 different components; 5 weapon components, 3 engine components and 4 structure components.

Närcon
I showed Scrap Galaxy at a local anime con (for the 4th time in a row!). A lot of people played it and enjoyed it. My booth where almost full at all time. Entire 125 people signed up for emails so they could get it when the game was released! C:



New features showcased at Närcon
Scrap King
Scrap King is a new game mode. The played can construct a ship from 10 random parts. The winner keeps the ship and can continue to build on it.

New Map
A tiny map filled with space junk. The power up in the middle can not be accessed by larger ships and the junk provides protection to smaller ships.

Redirector
Increase turning speed. Transform all momentum to the current angle. This allows ships to make very agile movements.

Galaxy Gun
Charges up a galaxy made from antimatter that deals huge knockback damage. Can detonate galaxy on demand.



Team
I've gotten help from Markku Kankaanniemi and Linus Asplund, two artists. We've added new compontent, background and UI art. Working on replacing all old art with new awesome art! Check website for new art.

Thank you! I try to show it to the public as often as possible, gaming related events in Sweden is a good start. A singel player demo might be arriving within a while.

I asked my players and most of them wanted it on PC. After that it is XBox One or PS4 with almost equal points. My plan is pretty much first PC then consoles.

This looks a lot like a multiplayer version of Captain Forever, so I'm down.

Work in progress on new main menu GUI for Scrap Galaxy.


The old one, one at the bottom, was not suited for gamepads and looked really bad. Above that is draft to new GUI and then how it looked after different iterations with the artist. Goal is to make it not look like a generic Space GUI but more rusty, metallic and tangible.
