STELLAR JOCKEYS APRIL NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the Stellar Jockeys newsletter for April. This past month has
involved a lot of diving into some very old les.

Understanding The Brigador Journey: Intro
So here's a question – how do you get from this...

...to this?

If you wanted to be ippant, then "about three years of work" would bethe response. A better answer, however, would be to tell the story of
those three years; one told by multiple people, touching on the variousthings that had to happen in order for the reader to understand as best
as possible just how much e ort went into what you now all know as
Brigador. And no – we're not just talking about the name change ofMatador to Brigador.

If you've ever read something like this excellent retrospective on Diablo II,
you'll have a good idea of the sort of subject matter we'll cover. In otherwords, now that we have the opportunity to, we'll hopefully be able to
make good on what Hugh wrote nine years ago in a June 2012 blog post:

This isn't the retrospective of some proven developer, full of knowing
speeches about their path to success or platitudes of hard work anddiscipline. We don't have the luxury of hindsight, or the comfortingknowledge that everything will work out in the end, at least not yet.
...This is about helping future studios as encumbered as we are with
inexperience to succeed. This is about all the pain, patience,frustration, creativity, sacri ce, and love that go into making games.

We look forward to telling it.

Update On Bust Availability

Many thanks to everyone who has already ordered 1/6 Scale Model Busts

please send us a message to team@stellarjockeys.com and be sure tomention your 4-digit order number.

Spring Cleaning
We've given our Steam store page a bit of a spring clean, chie y with some
new GIFs (the main website and merch store will be getting some newadditions later). Chances are quite high that if you're reading this far into
the newsletter, you're one of the last people who needs to be upsold on
our game, though you're one of the best sources of feedback for us. Let
us know what you think of the new page?

Community Spotlight
On YouTube, Travis made a delightful video on just how much they enjoy
Brigador, and we love how it really gets into minutiae of the vehicle andweapon designs...

...meanwhile carcinisation has been a running joke on the Stellar Jockeys
discord for some time. Here are the latest attempts of Nature to evolve
crab fan art courtesy of Skinwalker and Brad Buckmaster...

...lastly, please have a new SNC-style phone wallpaper from hoker (click toenlarge).
