YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT'S IN THIS NEWS UPDATE

💰OBLIGATORY COMMERCIAL MESSAGING

🔉ENJOY THE FIRST HALF OF OUR AUDIOBOOK

We’ve uploaded the first eleven chapters of the Brigador audiobook to our YouTube channel completely for free. Listen to Private Ranulph Kinny get caught up in the violence brought about by the Brigadors in Solo Nobre. If you want the other half, well, we hear there’s a sale going on somewhere…

💀FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH GRAVE TO THE RAVE

Now Blood Anniversary is your new splash art. We are reverting Brigador’s launch screen to the Zed Prime vs. Mongoose splash from the Blood Anniversary update. If you would like all our previous splash arts as desktop wallpapers, you can find them in this post from December.

🔧COMMUNITY COMPILATION FIXED (AGAIN)

Due to a change in how the game’s packfile handles the loading of assets for the Grave to the Rave update, we unintentionally broke some existing fan mods by inadvertently introducing a hard limit on the length of .json filenames. To be clear: modding was and is still functional, but this change meant the Community Compilation we included with the Brigador Modkit & Map Editor wouldn’t work properly without manually shortening several filenames... which is exactly what happened! Thanks to the hard work of our community moderators Aniviron and SCOREGOBLIN, the Modkit DLC’s Community Compilation has not only had its filenames shortened, but also revised for 2022. Expand the list below to find out what mods will be included in the new Community Compilation:

📺A DEV STREAM ABOUT BRIGADOR KILLERS YOU PROBABLY MISSED

Our gameplay designer Hugh held a four-hour long twitch stream last month, which we’ve uploaded as a separate VOD onto our YouTube with timestamps for your convenience. In it you will hear the opening chapter of the new Brigador Killers’ audiobook, a lengthy discussion on the background to Brigador’s universe, and a couple of new Makeup And Vanity Set tracks from the BK OST to break things up.

💭WAIT, NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT ABOUT BRIGADOR KILLERS?

First, yes, Brigador Killers is very much alive. The above splash art (wallpaper version here) is from our first BKTEST; as of time of writing we’re currently approaching our fourth. Slowly but surely we are getting closer towards something representing a playable beta and eventual demo for you to try out, though it is unlikely to be before the end of 2022.

Second, starting next month we will be posting monthly development updates over on the Brigador Killers news hub. If you wish to receive these updates in your library feed – please follow and wishlist our next game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/903930/Brigador_Killers/

Third, as part of that initial post – send us your questions about Brigador Killers. Leave them as a comment below this post and we’ll answer them in the first BK update in July.

Finally, we only teased one BK GIF last time, so here's two. The first is of a spacer Rounder tank making a mess of a Mar Nosso police checkpoint...

...the second is of an uprezzed Betushka blowing up one of those Rounders from a recent test build.


Thank you all for reading, see you next month, and enjoy the Steam Summer Sale in the meantime.
