A GameReady friendslop co-op game, in pre-production

GALAXY MUNCH

Bon Appetit in the Vacuum.

A co-op physics-comedy where your crew of idiot aliens fly a space-diner: cooking, crashing, fighting pirates, and keeping braindead customers alive while everything is on fire.

In-engine footage: the actual build, pre-production
Early gameplay

Every session is a clip factory.

We are not scripting jokes. We are building a physics sandbox that produces them: pot-blinded pirates, food-fight defense, customers strolling into fires mid-bite.

Wishlist

Be first in the airlock.

There is no Steam page yet. Drop your email and you get the link the day it goes live, so you can wishlist it while it still counts, plus an invite when the Discord opens.

No spam, no newsletter treadmill: we write when the Steam page or the Discord goes live. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and we never share the list. See how we handle your address in the privacy policy.

What exactly we send (three emails, that is the whole plan).

The game

You are the dumbest restaurant crew in the galaxy.

Co-op, first-person, low-poly. The restaurant is the ship: you cook, fly, and keep it running out of the exact same room.

The diner IS the vehicle.

You fly the diner while you cook inside it. Steer badly and you take asteroid hits, hull breaches, and a repair minigame in the middle of a dinner rush. The kitchen and the cockpit are the same room.

Restock inside the chaos.

Ingredients run out mid-rush, so someone is always shoving a cart through a chaotic space supermarket while the rest of the crew holds the diner together.

"Everything is on fire, someone put a pot on the pirate's head, and we are somehow still open."
Design pillars

Five rules. Zero dignity.

In-game: trays flying while a cook fights a kitchen fire
01

Chaotic multitasking

Orders, fires, flying customers and steering the ship, all at the same time.

02

Physics comedy

Trays and food go flying. Everything is physical, including customers and players.

In-game: customers keep eating while one of them is on fire
03

Braindead customers

They care about food more than their lives.

04

Silly, sloppy tone

Fun first, mission is secondary.

05

Clip-first

An in-game camera turns every disaster into a shareable shot.

The genre

"Friendslop" is eating the charts.

Cheap, chaotic, co-op physics-comedy went from niche to phenomenon in two years: small teams with tiny budgets outselling studios 100x their size, powered entirely by player-generated clips.

Dear Passengers, the genre's latest breakout, banked 1.5M Steam wishlists in its first 4 days alone, months before launch, fully organic, at $0 ad spend. The game itself generates the ads. That is the lane Galaxy Munch is built for: a differentiated, instantly-legible concept (a space-diner instead of another everyday setting) with the same proven genre mechanics.

We aim for $10M-$110M in revenue.

The full math behind that number is in the pitch deck: available on request when you join the crew or invest.

16M+ copies
R.E.P.O.
about $128M at $7.99
11M+ copies
PEAK
$55M+ gross
10M+ copies
Lethal Company
about $100M at $9.99
1M+ paid copies
Content Warning

Typical genre pricing is $5-8: friction-free for a friend group buying four copies on a whim. Public figures, sourced from SteamDB / Gamalytic / Alinea Analytics coverage (2024-2025).

Other wins

None of this was hunted for.

No development on the game when this started and no marketing spend. We did not pitch publishers, did not advertise that we were raising, and did not run ads.

TikTok traction

Week one, basic blockouts, real numbers.

The account is brand new and clip #1 is engine blockouts, not final art: no signature character models yet, no paid boost, no repost network beyond one organic test share. It still traveled.

The studio

An established studio making its first own IP.

8+ years proven in the three things that decide whether a game ships: logistics, hiring, development. Galaxy Munch is a working studio pointing its existing machine at its own game for the first time, with video production and a crowdfunding track record already in place.

Advisory bench

Building the bench, not just the crew.

We are in talks with advisors who worked on titles such as Star Citizen, plus other veterans of co-op physics-comedy titles in the vein of R.E.P.O., PEAK, and Lethal Company.

Social media traction

Small accounts, real signal.

Every channel is new and growing off zero ad spend. Our second hiring-round post on LinkedIn outperformed the first on engagement, and the socials strategy is deliberately split: player-facing content on TikTok and Instagram, business updates on LinkedIn.

FAQ

Reasonable questions, deadpan answers.

What platforms?

PC (Steam) first. We are building for online co-op with your friend group.

When can I play it?

It is in pre-production: the playable slice comes first, then a Kickstarter. There is no Steam page to wishlist yet, so leave your email and you get the link the day it goes live, while a wishlist still counts for the launch.Wishlist Galaxy Munch

Is 'Galaxy Munch' the final name?

Yes. Galaxy Munch is the name.

What's the track record of GameReady Studio?

8+ years of Unreal Engine production and education, 100+ people employed, clients like Intel, ISCAR, and Aerospace Industries, and $40M+ raised in crowdfunding (Renato Franchi, our crowdfunding lead, as CMON's Global Marketing Director). The full story: gameready.dev/studio

Want in on the sloppiest disaster in the galaxy?

We are recruiting a medium-sized, high-conviction build team: UE programmers and artists who want real ownership in a fast venture. We are also fundraising early. Either way, we answer fast.
