[h2]đ§COMMUNITY COMPILATION FIXED (AGAIN)[/h2]
Due to a change in how the gameâs 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 wouldnât 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 DLCâs 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:

[h2]đșA DEV STREAM ABOUT BRIGADOR KILLERS YOU PROBABLY MISSED[/h2]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]Our gameplay designer Hugh held a four-hour long twitch stream last month, which weâve 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 Killersâ audiobook, a lengthy discussion on the background to Brigadorâs universe, and a couple of new Makeup And Vanity Set tracks from the BK OST to break things up.
[h2]đWAIT, NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT ABOUT BRIGADOR KILLERS?[/h2]
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 weâre 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 â please follow and wishlist our next game.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/903930/Brigador_Killers/
Third, as part of that initial post â send us your questions about Brigador Killers. Leave them as a comment below this post and weâll 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.

Pre-Early Access splash screen, the rarest of them all. Still had a lot to learn about splash art both from a marketing and design perspective. Always annoyed that you couldn't see all of the Touro, and the Spacers coming out across a flat plane, while accurate to the game, looks a little amateurish. Got some practice photoshopping the Touro, though.
Blood Anniversary Pt 2 saw the release of the mysterious Mother's Love, a design we wanted to show off in dramatic fashion, while re-using the scene built for the Pt 1 splash. Inspired by the future war sequences of Terminator 1 and 2, naturally.
Grave To The Rave Update felt like coming full circle, as the first Halloween Update for Brigador was the first major content update the year of the 1.0 release. Wanted to celebrate with a dramatic and grimy, grindhouse-poster like depiction of Precursor James.
