## Development

In the summer of 2021, Wyatt Olinger was developing new ideas for Olingertoons, where he came up with three ideas, one of which came when he was inspired by shows and media franchises such as *Sailor Moon, The PowerPuff Girls,* and *Super Power Island* from Poptropica*.* Olinger came up with an idea about a group of girls who were secretly aliens who were sent to Earth to gather information on said planet. Olinger initially planned this to be the sixteenth show in the Olingertoons lineup, but was so excited for this show that he ended up preponing it to the fourteenth.

In January of 2022, Wyatt drew initial concept art of Sam, one of the main girls he created for the show, the initial sketch featured both her human form and alien form. Eventually throughout the Spring of 2022, Rosie, Erica, and Lola were also created at that point. However, Grace, the fifth Galactic Girl, was initially not present in early development for the series. (Explaining why Grace was absent in the teasers)

The show was first announced on September 2, 2022 at the end of a video titled "Cloud Watching (Again)" when Wyatt looks up in the sky and senses a new Olingertoon approaching. With teasers released on the fifth and thirteenth of the same month. Galactic Girls then made its official debut on September 16, 2022 at approximately 8:46 PM.
