FLASHGITZ FRIDAY 9/4
Brothers! Welcome back to Flashgitz Friday, your only official source for all Flashgitz and Space King news! Remember, any other sources are just leaky valves and need to be taken out back and dealt with (in Minecraft).
What a week it’s been! Between War World’s (eventual) successful release and the Space King board game Kickstarter campaign, there’s a lot to celebrate!
Firstly, let’s talk about the board game! Your guys' support has absolutely DECIMATED our expectations, officially passing $3.4 MILLION! You guys came together and absolutely crushed every goal we set, and to be honest, we’ve been frantically trying to keep up with these milestone reveals because they’re just happening way too fast. I think it’s fair to say that we vastly underestimated the inspiring combination of your fervent generosity and undiagnosed autism.
Looking at this image is stronger than Viagra.
Reminder that paid members will receive this FREE Relic Captain mini when you back the Kickstarter campaign! We have your email, so it’s automatically yours. You can’t even refuse it!
And look at all the goodies you’ve unlocked with your support!
In the BASE GAME, you got:
A bunch of new loot cards!
A Decal Transfer Sheet for the base game units!
A Pink Line of Sight
As for STRETCH GOALS:
An Additional Player Pack!
Terry + Solo Mode Expansion!
A Decal Transfer Sheet for all expansion and additional characters!
Yukon Character Box!
A Green Line of Sight! (So much cooler than pink.)
A ton of extra lore topics voted on by backers for the lore book!
We over here at Flashgitz are very humbled by how successful this campaign has been in such a short amount of time. You’d think the word would be “proud”, but we couldn’t have gotten this far without you guys and your support. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your generous support. You deserve our eternal praise, not just because the Space King board game is officially happening, but because we’re also humiliating everyone who didn’t believe in us! HA!!!
And if you want to snag a copy yourself, head on over to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flashgitz/space-king-the-board-game?ref=3cneua !
We’ll do our victory lap for Space King 5 later. In the meantime, I’m sure you’re all very curious about the progress of SPACE KING 6!
It surprised a handful of you last week to find that we’re already working on Space King Episode 6, but the explanation’s simple: we’re built different. In terms of progress, we’re in the middle of working on assets, backgrounds, and animation! The animatic is already complete, along with most recorded lines. Thank god, because it means I have a lot of cool stuff to show you already!
Take a look at what we’ve been up to!
Bryce’s spanktuary.
“There’s plenty of homes to buy! Just look at this one going for $150k!”
The detailed linework our talented background artists whipped up for Space Louisiana.
The main squad’s bikes require a lot of bespoke angles (that’s right, they’re ALL getting new bikes!) Luckily we get off on torturing our artists.
A box of crap belonging to Bryce.
A new squad ship with the insignia scratched out. It was probably something naughty.
I WANT TO GET OFF MR. BONES' WILD RIDE!
Space King’s mechanics do not burden their steeds with kickstands.
Don’t let him in. He smells.
I can’t wait to show you more Space King 6 goodness in the coming Flashgitz Fridays. Not to suck our own dick too much, but this episode is absolutely hilarious and is going to knock your socks off. In the meantime, though, there’s always the Tom and Don channel to hold you over!
This week’s episode of Tom and Don is the Space King 5 director’s commentary! But it will be airing on SATURDAY (we’ve had a busy week, okay? Cut us some slack…) Come listen to fun production tales, like how we achieved the big flappy ball sounds of Globulous Maximus! Or the story showcasing our composer's indomitable human will. Or even the part where Don felt his first human emotion while watching episode 5.
Check out some screencaps from the episode!
The wall of fan art grows ever-larger with each passing episode!
Yes, we will be discussing #PenisGate.
The schematics for how to maximize your globulous.
Go check out the latest episode on the Tom and Don channel tomorrow! You won’t want to miss this one!
Well, Brothers, that’s it for this week’s Flashgitz Friday. Except, of course, the time-honored tradition of our post-launch VICTORY LAP!
Almost 7 million views at the time of writing. That’s like the entire population of.. Uhh.. Paraguay!
You guys really turned up for this one and we couldn’t be more stoked. War World was an intense labor of love from many hard-working artists who spent almost 9 months pushing this baby out, so we’re finally glad it’s seeing the light of day.
And of course, we want to thank our Brothers, Greedy Brothers, Very Greedy Brothers, and those who reside in our new CHOSEN tier! Many of you are new initiates who see the potential Space King and Flashgitz has, while the rest of you might be older supporters who have stuck with us through thick and thin. Either way, you’re all part of the Brotherhood: the secret society who fuels the furnace that helps us make super cool cartoons for the betterment of mankind. History will remember you favorably. Once again, thank you for your support. And keep looking forward to Space King 6!
Don’t forget to check out the War World directors’ commentary on the Tom and Don channel!
Thank you, Brothers!
Praise Be!
Now let’s check out some of the latest FAN ART!
A stunning piece of Relic Captain by u/SethKlock on Reddit. Love the striking pose and the missiles raining down on him. Super sick stuff.
A painting of Hatemonger's prayer by @SlushPlanet on X. A fantastic imitation of the grimshots. A+
An animated dance featuring Terry and Chip by @Skwimpler on X. This is what plays in my head when we hit Kickstarter milestones.
Post your fan art with #SpaceKing to be featured in future Flashgitz Fridays! The hashtags aren’t a requirement, but they do make them easier to find.
Until next week, Brothers!
Praise Be!

Sorry to say this but I’m budgeting myself due to recent financial hits so I am going to remove subscription. You guys are great and I’ve enjoyed every episode and was glad to be a part of this for as long as I was
Hoping this model has the shield more updated (Praise Be!) as the shield really does deserve its full grace as the MVP of war world.
Guys does anybody know if there was ever a hatemonger helmet sticker? I have the other 3 but not him
Hell yeah! This is awesome!
"A Green Line of Sight! (So much cooler than pink.)" HERESY. If Space king wanted our lasers to be green then they'd be green. PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING
Very Greedy Brothers question: the description says "3x different stickers + 2 different holographic duplicates "..... So is that a total of 5 stickers??
Imagine if Focus Entertainment did a crossover with Flashgitz and included Captain, Bryce, Chestnut and Hatemonger as playable characters in SPACE MARINES II…
Relic Captain Mini goes SO HARD 🍆
This was definitely worth the wait :) Everything hits so well. From the comedy and drama to the action. Also regarding the Relic Captain Figure will he have the shield in the left hand and the exploding sword in the right in the final model?
I just became an official member, will I still receive the exclusive captain mini for the boardgame?
Yes, Brother!
Does Space Louisiana come with Space Mega Poverty?
Did they ever reveal anything about the Blap-Blap Psycho Warriors?
I use a different email for my patreon and kickstarer. Is it possible to link it up and get the awesome mini?
Hey man! Thanks for reaching out! It's no problem at all, we've had several Brothers with the same issue. There will be a process to address this closer to the pledge manager launching! What we will do is just have a form after the pledge manager launches, and people will have to put both emails and some sort of identifying data, like their backer number or last name
Im so glad im a member of this community and that we all get to watch Space King become something special. Praise be to Space King! And keep crushing your dream gentlemen!
Praise be! I introduced one of my friends to Space King the other day, he likes it so far!
Pray tell, is the shield saint skeleton the snitch from the f*male psycho warrior sequence? The idea is so cool I cant get it out of my head.
Pledged! And if you guys dont, you're no better than an ALIEN.
Please tell me because of the success of the Kickstart we can still be able to get other parts of this game after it ends? I know you guys change things up every episode, but I do hope this is the thing you have as a main stay that anyone can get.
That is wonderful and all, but I was wondering when will you release the official soundtrack from the episodes like you promised?
The OST is being worked on and we will post an update when it's available!
Will Space King 6 be the same quality and denseness of Space King 5 or will it be lower? I think part of what made Space King 5 so popular is the amazing quality of the episode itself
So honored to be a paid member. Praise be to Space King!
Just bought the kickstarter and patreon today. I am wondering how Discord access works as I was unable to find any link here and after getting it from a video, I can't access anything. Probably for verification and security reasons, so I'm wondering how I can prove I am me.
I backed Kickstarter but had to update e-mail on Kickstarter to match Patreon. Hope I get the figure.

passed the 4 mill, Praised be to SPACE KING!
Hell yeah psycho warrior bikes
Honestly it's wild you guys started on episode 6 already! You guys are doing Space Kings work. Thank you for all the hard work the team does.
Is the furry crusades collection not on here?
After board game, will it be time for tabletop wargaming? You guys are cooking some great foundations for that kind of fun.
Bryce loves himself a good lead cup
You know what would be cool, im pretty sure tom/don has mentioned wizard psycho warriors in the past. That would be a cool stretch goal. 6 mil stretch goal psycho wizard playable character 🤟🤟
Was worth the wait
praise be, looks like we won't have to wait 9 months for the next episode
PRAISE BE SPACE KING
PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING
PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!!!!!!
Any news or how to access the OST?
Praise be to space king
Where *do* we post fan art?
PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!
++Praise be Space King++
My globulous feel overstimulated this past week with all the cool stuff we are getting.Praise BE to Space King and death to the heretics !!!!
This is the only Paytreon I'll do paid support for only because I see the benefit in doing it. Your team rocks and always hits the mark with the animation and humor. Also supported and went all in on the kickstarter game..oohraa amen
When’s the next merch drop? I require it
Hope High Command shows up. I miss him
PRAISE BE!
Praise be to Tom and Don for making one of, if not, the greatest show that I actually love with a passion. Fuck Glitch and Fuck Vizipop, because neither one of them ain't got shit on the overall creativity and actually loving support that is Flashgitz and Space King. Unlike the other shows on youtube that are complete dogshit in my opinion, Space King is definitely the show I can stomach with passion. Thank you Tom and Don and your team for the fantastic work you've done and keep up the great work ❤️❤️❤️ PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!!!!!!!!!!
You can't show me psycho warrior bikes and NOT make them a stretch goal, that would be SICK, even if they had zero gameplay rules
BROTHERS!!!! What if a girl, 🤮, buys the highest tier of the Space King board game? Will the heretics make a FEMALE PSYCHO WARRIOR?!
This has been an amazing ride and I’m glad to be apart of it! Praise be to Space King!👑
++PRAISE BE++
I'm so excited for the director commentary comming out on Sunday!! Also, will someone tell Bryce that his drinks taste sweet because lead is an artificial sweetener? Thank you. Praise be! 🟢🟢
You guys better believe that if I had $10,000 I would be going for the globulous Maximus Tier in the kickstarter. But I barely had enough to get the patreon subscription I have
I think you spend your money wisely. May Space King reward your efforts with a windfall when the board game is available on flashgitz 🟢🟢
Beef
Is it me or does the chest Bryce own have a lighter and cup similar to the ones that may or may not be relics from a certain best lunchbox ever produced? Could be conflating things though.
The Space Hogs were awesome opponents this time, but I'm really hoping we can see more Wizards and other types of Heretics for the Boys to fight next time.
PRAISE BE!
The Mr Bones wild Ride throwback, killed me 🤣🤣🤣
I backed under a different email do I have to change it to my patreon email.
If space king wanted green line of sight he would of had those to begin with besides that this is Amazing and can’t wait to get one once I can afford it
Money is a little tight for me right now, but I'm so happy the board game has been a smashing success! "It's in your pocket"
PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!
Praise be TERRYs got moves hopefully we see his return soon 🫶
What if someone who isn’t apart of the Patreon bought it as a Christmas gift? Any way to get captain.
There will be a process to address this closer to the pledge manager launching! What we will do is just have a form after the pledge manager launches, and people will have to put both emails and some sort of identifying data, like their backer number or last name
Rudolph mini WHEN?
++Praise BE++
Praise Be!
I have a question: I would like to get access to the absolute banger that is known as the Space Kings OST. How do I go about doing so?
The OST is in progress, Brother! Working on having it out soon and we will post an announcement!
Praise be, When OST Drop??
Praise Be Space King!
PRAISE BE!!!!
My body and globules are so fucking ready for episode 6
Praise be brothers!
Proud of you and your team and to be a part of this whole community fiscally. Fuck HBO MAX and other streaming services, this is the only monthly subscription worth it!
I've litterally never used patreon until my hyperfixation on space king kicked in and I'm like... they may be unhinged but Tom and Don seem genuinely sweet and care about making something enjoyable by fans so I don't feel bad about throwing $15 their way every month.
The physical comedy that the Saint Shield was putting out was beautiful. Keep up the great work lads.
I cant wait for the next episode and also for the guy that made the music to release a separate thing just for the music. Keep up the amazing work and ill keep giving you my full support brother! <3
Praise be
Question I used another email for the kickstarter any chance I can still get it?
Same here, have you tried contacting flash gitz support on the website? They might reply faster and that was my plan
You gonna get that new Space King board game? It looks pretty sweet, I’m gonna get a copy.
++PRAISE BE++
