Nose Art Challenge Results
In mid-April, the Nose Art Challenge began for the Stellar Jockeys

community. We gave everyone about two weeks to submit theirown text entries about a piece of vehicle nose art. Winning entries
would be immortalized in Brigador canon and be painted by aprofessional artist. Needless to say the community jumped at thechance. Here's what Jack had to say in response to yoursubmissions on our community Discord:
Before we list the entries to be included in the game, we want to say
thank you to everyone that wrote an entry. We were genuinely
overwhelmed by the response. Privately I gured it was going to begood community-building activity if we managed somewhere in theneighborhood of 50 or so entries.
We received 212.
Please take a moment and congratulate yourself and the other writersfor good work. I know it feels good to have your work selected for thissort of challenge, and it stings to be passed over, but please take pridein the work itself. We took this seriously. Each entry was read, andthen voted on my myself, Karl, and Hugh, and the winning entries
needed support from all three of us. Then after choosing the nalist
entries, we still made sure to go back over and reread all the entries
and give feedback to every entry.
- Jack, Stellar Jockeys

What We're Up To
Among many other things, Hugh is currently busy with barcodes
and travel to Japan; when Jack's not busy writing, he's posing forshots as the not-so-secret male model for our merchandise store;
while Karl has been supporting our localization team andspending a lot of time with Cephei, catching up with familiar faces
from the rst game.

Brigador at BitSummit, June 1st & 2nd
Hugh is leaving for Japan soon to attend BitSummit 7 Spirits inKyoto and demo our next unannounced project in the Brigador
universe. If you're in attendance, be sure to drop by our booth tosay hi to Hugh, check out our demo and buy some merchandiseo him.

In Progress: Merchandise Store
Those of you who follow our Stellar Jockeys Twitter account might
have noticed some merch-related retweets.
Right now we are still in the process of readying the merchandise
store. Once the inventory is properly barcoded (done) and added
to Shopify's backend (done), and the merchandise itself is sent toour ful llment center and processed (...almost), then we'll havethe frontend unveiled on our site. Many thanks to everyone whokeeps asking - we look forward to taking your orders.

Game Updates
In development for Brigador: Up-Armored Edition are the F-seriesof missions. These three missions will help bridge the gap

between the nale of the game's narrative, and the next entry in
the Brigador universe.

Community Spotlight

returns, this time with an homage to Bubblegum Crisis featuring
the Arlo agrav seen above.
Over on our Discord, it's kick ips with Cephei Chat eld courtesyof community member Zi...

"Dorothy-tan" and "Prism-kun".

Elsewhere, Eschaton got ahold of their kids' LEGO and decided tomake a Ropekid

Lastly, we had an impromptu Stellar Jockeys community gamenight. Hugh thought it would be wise to go sword versus fryingpan in Mordhau against community member Toast and, well...
