Much to the displeasure of those who had their lives shattered by the dev of their favorite mechshit game being a, this video was well received as most normal people didn't know or care, or otherwise can separate the art from the artist. As a result drama was abound during this time until three days later when the aforementioned Mandalore video was released, with its creator choosing to upload it despite recent events, explaining his position in the SJ discord. An important thing to note is that Brigador is inspired by 90s isometric games like Star Control 2 and Syndicate, along with plenty of Battletech influence therefore it has a niche and neurodivergent fanbase, which means there's a lot of s. In short, he was leaving the company and had deleted both his SA and YCS offsite accounts, leaving his brother and a couple others as the sole developers for the sequel, Brigador Killers. I now need to spend time listening, learning and growing as a person. I've been talking to people whose values and perspectives I've been critical of. I have deleted my account for the forum in question. I can't undo what I did, but I can work forward from here. I made this happen, and that means I need to step away. I love the game, I love how excited our fans and community have been, but I have jeopardized the trust we've worked so hard to build with everyone. Effective immediately I am suspending my involvement with Stellar Jockeys & Brigador Killers. It matters what you say, even in private. Over the last decade, I fooled myself into thinking that my words had no consequence, but over the past few days, I've discovered the opposite to be true. I'm deeply sorry for that, but know that apologizing will not change what I have done. įor years, I've posted to a private forum where I've made many transphobic, racist, and anti-semitic remarks. Knowing that he had to save face, Gausswerks posted an apology to the Stellar Jockeys twitter.
It's believed that he had some sort of feud with another forum member who then leaked this as he was a public figure, and none of this is visible without an account. In June of 2020 (when terminally onlines were stuck inside for months) someone from the offsite leaked a selection of some of the things he had said, some of which were only a few days old relative to the leak. From when YCS has been shut down to mid-2020 Gausswerks was active on this off-site posting horrible transphobic, anti-semitic, homophobic, etc etc content (you get the idea) under the same username and profile picture he had always used. The YCS forum had become defunct, and its longtime users had moved to a separate off-site that was only visible to logged-in members, and became invite-only after this event. For reasons I won't get into (genre nerdshit) Brigador was a flop at release before a re-release in 2017 called Brigador: Up-Armored edition allowed it to become a cult hit thanks in part to this video by MandaloreGaming (relevant later). Gausswerks was a long time Something Awful user, most active on the YCS forum where much of Brigador's development prior to the game's release in 2016 was documented. Jack Monahan (Gausswerks) and his brother Hugh Monahan are the co-founders of Stellar Jockeys, an indie studio known for the isometric mech game Brigador and its currently in-development sequel Brigador Killers.
