[/list] On another note, you can now download fan-translations of Brutal Orchestra via the Steam Workshop! In particular we recommend the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3330032078&searchtext=]Italian[/url] and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3330478505]Brazilian Portuguese[/url] translations as they have been been worked on by some truly incredible fans! [h2]Notice About the Human Canvas Sale[/h2] With every Major Brutal Orchestra update we host a one week sale of Brutal Orchestra. However, with The Human Canvas update, Steam is requesting we choose between a sale for our own update and a different fast-approaching Genre Steam Sale. So to do both, we are delaying this sale until a month or two in the future so we can use the sale to spotlight some exciting mods the Workshop offers! [h2]What's next for Brutal Orchestra?[/h2] Well, you may recall our previous post mentioning a Vinyl Kickstarter for Brutal Orchestra. Those plans will still come to fruition but our release window has been impacted by Talia's other project [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2290870/Clown_Meat/]Clown Meat[/url] needing a bit more time in the oven. We aren't confident if the vinyl will still be a Kickstarter but we are confident it will be happening once our schedule clears up a bit. For the next little bit, Nico is going to get some well-deserved rest as this update is almost entirely his creation. Once Talia returns from the world of Clown Meat, discussion will need to be had regarding whether there will be more Brutal Orchestra either as a content update or even potentially a DLC... Like always, if you want to see more Brutal Orchestra make sure to drop the game a review here on Steam and recommend the game to any friends you think might enjoy it! Take care! -[url=https://x.com/ItsTheTalia?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor]Talia[/url] and [url=https://x.com/nico_codrilo]Nico[/url]
