It’s been a long time since we started Monster and Monster ( waaaaaay back in 2011 ) and to be honest I don't think either of us imagined we’d be writing a post like this when we did.
As a two person indie team it’s been more than a decade of highs and lows but we’re grateful to still be here making the kind of games we love.
Star Trucker is the culmination of our many years working on different projects and proved to be a galactic sized challenge for such a small team. Thankfully we had some incredible people help us along the way and today we can finally release the game out into the universe.
We are also incredibly humbled by the community reception that got us here - from the Future Games show announcement, to the Next Fest Demo and massive exhibition halls at Gamescom full of eager players. Thank you!
Releasing a game like this is a big deal for a small team like ours. We hope you’ll bear with us on this long haul into the unknown as we collate community feedback and continue to support Star Trucker beyond release.
And lastly… Thank you again all for the support y’all have provided so far. It's finally time to shift gears, get comfortable in the cab seat and form up - we got ourselves a convoy!

In Star Trucker, players take the most open road of them all - space - in this Americana inspired retro sci-fi sim. Explore expansive sectors, overcome the challenges of zero-g physics and master a range of certifications and intergalactic hauls.
Key Features in Star Trucker include:
- Cruise the hyper highways, taking on a variety of jobs such as fuel-hungry long hauls and hazardous drop-offs to earn cash and unlock new content.
- Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jump pointss, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels.
- Utilize the fully voiced, interactive CB radio to get the latest gossip from fellow truckers and swing by local garages to modify and upgrade your truck., request docking permissions or send out an SOS, and swing by auto shops to upgrade and improve your truck systems to gain access to new areas.
- Kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a range of starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid-influenced Americana, spotlighting unique tracks by acclaimed musicians like Tom Bromley from Los Campesinos! and award winning songwriter, Randall Breneman., composer Randall Breneman and more.
