Intergalactic Education June 2018 Newsletter
Jun 7, 2018
Dear Friends, Educators,
and Explorers:
Spaceball has landed
in the Apple iTunes app store
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spaceball/id1390585725?mt=8)! Loyal newsletter
readers will recognize Spaceball as one of the minigames slated to be included
in the full version of Space World™. Popular demand from our followers
compelled us to make Spaceball available now to those truly hungry for it. Mark
that down as one of the few times a developer has delivered ahead of schedule.
All of you who were chomping at the bit to play Spaceball, go do so! You may
play alone against computer opponents or multiplayer up to 12 people.
The rest of you
patiently waiting for the Space World™ platform (and all its minigames
including Spaceball) will soon have your chance to reserve your copy and
support Intergalactic Education’s remaining development of the game. The
official Kickstarter campaign will present you with an opportunity to back
Space World™ in the manner you feel is appropriate among the many tiers of
support suggested. Preparation for the Kickstarter has been a long process
balancing both outreach and development to give you the best game possible. We
recently concluded recording Kickstarter videos and are excited to share those
with you in the upcoming Kickstarter campaign.
Intergalactic
Education has continued to engage the STEM community abroad while developing
Space World™. Follow the Facebook link at the end of this email to see pictures

Education offers competitive salaries and flexible hours.
Intergalactic
Education made inroads with the Washington Space Business Roundtable (WSBR)
while attending SATELLITE 2018. We recently sought partnership opportunities
with the organization to help our educational initiatives. Intergalactic
Education looks forward to continued networking opportunities with the WSBR and
any direct support they are able to extend.

expanding its presence in the STEM community. Meanwhile you can keep your eyes
