When' you've literally spend years fiddling with waves and oceans and wakes.. and it finally starts to look decent.. #indiedev I picked an ocean world because it meant having less assets to produce,, only to then spend a decade on a single asset. also no this won't run on a potato anymore.

There was only one other musician in consideration for Brigador and Matt was by far the better fit in basically all regards. Didn't bother talking to anyone else for Killers because we love working with Matt and he was already on board.

Yes. It's "playable" on controller now (can set keybinds and deadzones), but there's a lot of optimization and testing we want to do before marking the game as "Full controller support"

Brigador Killers logo done in the style of one of those old "Now That's What I Call Music" compilation albums of pop hits except it reads "Now that's what I call Brigador Killers" – or "Brigador now that's what I call Killers" depending.

#Brigador fanart moment featuring the man whose death kicks off the game and we never meet, except as numerous statues sown all around Solo Nobre.
A picture of a solemn man who happens to look like Kurt Russell as he was in Escape from New York, posing with a backdrop of a city cast in sunset, with orbital cannons' silhouettes looming over the buildings.

The man is wearing a beret, military fatigues, eyepatch and shoulder holster for a pistol.

That rules--I've been following his work for years and think he's a tremendously underrated musician, glad he's a friendly collaborator and that you're getting his lovely music in front of more people with your game.
