- Dev Update #4 - 14 September 2026
GeneralLatest development refered to the strategic layer as well as to several systems such as the inventory and to the core experiences of Galactic Space Guard.One aspect of this experience is to explore the station/ship your mission takes place on, it is planned to be able to move your squad between different sections of the station. Each section is its own level with fresh enemies and loot, so the decision emerges to get deeper into the unknown and capture more valuable loot or leave early after your objective is fullfilled. Getting deeper into the station can be rewarding but also the risk of failure increases, enemies could ambush your squad or your munition and supplies could run out. This aims for a tense but also rewarding experience.TopicsFollowing main topics are being worked on:Moving between sections of the station: Your squad is now able to move to a different section of th…

- Dev Update #1 - 14 August 2025
Hello everyone,As mentioned in the last update, our focus has been on implementing ship and squad management. Today, I’d like to share some insights into this feature.Galactic Space Guard is currently played on a space map in a sandbox style, where you choose your missions and explore space on your own terms. You travel to locations, such as an abandoned spaceship, and launch missions you’ve contracted for. Your squad is deployed from your spaceship using drop pods.On the ship, you equip and manage your soldiers (crafting is also planned for the ship in the future). A central element is the stash, similar to those in extraction shooters, where you store your acquired equipment. Your soldiers can level up, allowing you to allocate attribute points across six skill categories (Light Weapons, Heavy Weapons, Medical Skill, Willpower, Constitution, Precision), each affecting your soldiers’ c…
- Welcome to Galactic Space Guard! - 1 July 2025
IntroductionI would like to give you some insights into my intentions regarding Galactic Space Guard (GSG) and what I'd like to see in a game in the genre of turn-based tactics, to give you an impression of the direction the game is heading and whether it suits your taste.Personally, I love turn-based tactics games like X-Com, Phoenix Point, Space Hulk, UFO: Alien Invasion, and—if some of you remember—Incubation: Battle Isle Phase Four. That one was truly a unique experience.Besides turn-based tactics, I also enjoy the weapon handling, modding, and gameplay of extraction/survival games like Zero Sievert, Escape from Tarkov, SCUM, DayZ, etc. There’s one thing about turn-based games that has sometimes bothered me a little: the amount of time the turns can take.Of course, it's great to plan and think through your moves at your own pace to work out the best tactics. But sometimes—especially…
