We are delighted to have been selected for the Indie Mega Booth Going Away (For Now) Sale which runs for one whole week starting today. You can buy Brigador: Up-Armored Edition at 55% off, while the Deluxe Edition Bundle that includes the OSTs and audiobook along with the game is at an even larger discount.

In addition, we'll be streaming live from our Steam page on both Friday 8th and Saturday 9th from 15:00 to 17:00 PST. Join the stream to chat with us as we head into the weekend.

Brigador is part of the "Deliciously Difficulty" category of the IMB sale. All the other categories along with the full list of games in the IMB sale can be seen here on the IMB site.

You can now take part in the Powersuit Mini-Map Contest thanks to the efforts of our Discord community. In this contest your goal is to make a single short traditional campaign-style mission tailored for mog-scale combat on unusually small maps, so make every tile count!

Your four powersuit-sized loadouts are:

• Fick's Dorothy, a mouseholing brawler equipped with an Archie, Temblor, and smoke.
  
• Costa's Fence, a silent, deadly, CQB specialist equipped with a Black Hand, Donkey, and active camo.
  
• Salazar's Rope Kid, a hit-and-run harasser equipped with a Crambo, Carlos, and EMP.
  
• Aein's Paver, a trickster well-versed in the world's deadliest game of hide-and-go-seek, equipped with two fakers and active camo.

• One map submission per participant
  
• Map dimensions may not exceed 60x60 tiles in total
  
• Map must stipulate one objective (captains, garrison or buildings of your choice)
  
• At least one map exit
  
• Map must be completable with all four loadouts
  
• Map must feature some kind of enemy resistance
  
• Title, music, banner, difficulty, enemy faction(s), visual theme etc. are up to mapmaker
  
• Submissions should be sent to @SCOREGOBLIN via Discord on or before May 31st.

...here's a video tutorial on the map making process in Tiled explained by Jack and Hugh



...need a quick refresher on the four vehicles and weapons? Here's the Brigador wiki.

...and optionally, the community has prepared this powersuitcontest.zip file which contains pre-connected placeholder files using the four loadouts

NB: The pre-connected placeholder files using the four loadouts should be renamed and relinked before submission so that there are no file conflicts in the judge's folders. Submissions should be set up to run out of _modkit rather than the root game file structure. Along with the submission of all required materials (mission file, overmap file, lighting file, etc.), each submission should also have a declared difficulty level (easy, medium, or hard) and, optionally but highly encouraged, a small description of the concept and/or an in-universe mission briefing of appropriate length if the existing engine limit on mission descriptions is too restrictive.

Three judges from our community will give feedback on every map, and then collectively score them to decide the overall winner. The creator of the overall winning map will have their current discord icon added as an emoji in the server. Map submissions will be judged on gameplay, visual design, and uniqueness. Secondary elements, such as music, banner, mission name etc. while not being major criteria, will be considered. Lastly, the submitted maps will then be sequenced into a campaign run (e.g. G1, G2, G3…) to be later released as a downloadable public mission pack.

Got questions? Leave them below, or head over to our community Discord and ask any of the modding experts in the maps-and-modding channel.

Remember: send your submissions to @SCOREGOBLIN via Discord on or before May 31st.

Drop by our booth at PAX East 2020 in Boston, MA, from Thursday February 27th to Sunday March 1st. We'll be personally demoing Brigador Killers as well as talking to fans and showing off prototypes of future merchandise, so come and see us! Our booth is number #30041, and here's where you'll find us.



During PAX East we'll be having a fan meetup in Boston on one of the evenings. Be sure to keep an eye on the community announcements channel on our Discord server for details.

We'll have plenty of news about Brigador Killers later this year, and in case you missed it there's already a Steam store page. Please wishlist it to give us a boost in visibility!

See you in Boston!

We have updated the Brigador OST and Audiobook to use Steam Soundtracks! If you owned the Brigador Deluxe DLC, they are now available in your Steam Library under "Soundtracks". As an added bonus, we've also added lossless versions of each of the Makeup and Vanity Set albums, which will be automatically downloaded alongside the MP3s. If you haven't had a chance to pick up the Deluxe DLC, each of the OST albums now has individual entries:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239510/Brigador__Vol_I/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239511/Brigador__Vol_II/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239512/Brigador__Uplink_EP/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239513/Brigador__UpArmored_EP/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239514/Brigador__Audiobook/

Current owners of the Deluxe DLC still own all of the above - they have simply changed formats from a type of DLC to a Steam Soundtrack, meaning each album should appear as its own entry directly in your Steam library.

Also now available is a bundle of all of the above with Brigador: Up-Armored Edition. With the launch discount, this complete bundle of the game + albums + audiobook gives you 49% off everything.

To make sure that you'll get the high-quality FLAC versions of the albums, go to Steam > Settings > Music and check the box marked Download high-quality audio files (you may need to restart Steam for it to work).

The 40% launch discount on the albums and audiobook expires February 18th. After this date, the complete bundle of the base game and the albums and audiobook collection will still have a discount of 34%.

This update features excellent community work done by our fans in consultation with us:
* The F-series campaign maps, COME FINEST SURGEON, AS I STEP IN VAIN, and I'LL BE WHAT I AM.
* The Quatro Santos and Long Roads Freelance runs, featuring all new Freelance levels by community designers.
* Several new combinations of 2-3 map Freelance runs suggested by the community: The Sticks, Walk With The Dead, The Upper Crust, Great Outdoors

We have also included the Brigador Mod Kit as free DLC, for ease of distribution. It includes modding resources as well as a curated selection of community mods and maps. Check the box on your Brigador page in your Steam Library, under DLC, and check out the guide to the modkit on our Discord, where you'll also find modding resources and the #uploads community mod listing. Mods are community supported—we'd love to help onboard new modders, but we are currently focusing all of our efforts on the followup to Brigador.

The Auditor has given Cephei the slip, and it'll take some funds to track her down: The Auditor is now a purchasable pilot in Freelance mode, rather than automatically unlocked. More playable vehicles have been added, and on fan request, Cephei has noted which pilots fight only specific factions in their dossiers.

Last but not least, our merchandise store is now up and running. Check out shop.stellarjockeys.com to see our t-shirts, pin, patches, and more Brigador-related merch.



This update brings us into the 4th year of Brigador support. We're currently working on a followup game, titled BRIGADOR KILLERS. Wishlist it on Steam, and join our newsletter or Discord at stellarjockeys.com to catch all the LORE, peeks, and news!

What are you buyin', Brigador? First 50 orders using the discount code TEXAS7 get 15% off.

The Stellar Jockeys online store is now open with a selection of posters, patches, an official Pinny Arcade pin, and a shirt. We can ship almost anywhere, and will be updating with new stock and designs from time to time as we step closer to the launch of Brigador Killers (which you should wishlist if you haven't already).

We'd like to thank everyone who's stuck with us through the development of Brigador—we wouldn't still be working without your support, so thank you. Please enjoy what we've put together for you:

* Welcome, Brigadors in Poland! The game’s full text is now available in your native language.
* Thanks for all your feedback – Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish versions have been revised.

This update features a complete revamp of in-game lighting, as well as Chinese and Italian localizations. It also includes a couple of exciting new features, with balance tweaks and bug fixes. We’re celebrating two years from our 1.0 release and we’ve still got more to come.


For new features, we’ve filled a common request from players: you can now purchase individual campaign missions to run with any loadout in Freelance, without having to attempt the complete campaign Freelance run.


Additionally, we've added the final set of pilots to the Brigador roster, each of whom specializes in fighting against particular factions (for example, only fighting Corvids and Spacers, not Loyalists). Discover who they are, and use them to better tailor your experiences fighting in Solo Nobre.

Complete changelog is here, and be sure to come visit us at the Brigador community Discord server.
