Galactic Battleground is a retro arcade-inspired, 2 vs 2, space combat arcade game made from the ground up in Minneapolis, MN. Developed by the technology company, Slackerz Inc., Galactic Battleground (GBG) was first conceptualized and created by Kelly Pangburn (Lead Developer, CEO, and Co-Founder) and Dylan Davis (Art Director and Co-Founder) in 2016. It made it’s debut appearance to the public in 2016 at 2D Con where it initially was being demoed as a future game on Steam.
In 2017, as new members joined the Slackerz Inc. team and Galactic Battleground continued development, the game was repositioned. GBG was to be featured in an arcade cabinet and Slackerz Inc. was determined to lead the resurgance of the arcade industry. With a newly organized team, GBG underwent aggressive development, which introduced 4 player battle, additional power-ups, more map layouts, UI improvements, as well as the design and production of GBG’s first cabinet.
After completing their first prototype of the GBG arcade cabinet and undergoing a long QA of the expanded features of the game, Slackerz Inc., debuted their prototype at Up-Down MPLS. As the first wave of arcadegoers and enthusiasts got their hands on the game, Slackerz Inc. listened to feedback and continued to make enhancements to GBG.
Making a local splash in the short time it was there with highlights from WCCO 4 News and Twin Cities Geeks, GBG also garnered attention from Can Can Wonderland, a unique business in St. Paul and one of the newest attractions in the greater Twin Cities. Before long, Can Can Wonderland would be the the first permant home of Galactic Battleground arcade, striking a deal to spotlight GBG in their arcade.
