Exclusive Brain Damaged OST Vinyl
What is Flat, Piss-Yellow and Gives Brain Damage?
You guessed it, it's vinyl!
But not just any vinyl it is the *EXCLUSIVE* POSTAL: Brain Damaged platter. This 12-inch "hehe", piss-coloured beauty contains the POSTAL: Brain Damaged OST you know and love - crafted by Kacper Kajzderski and Piotr Stachera. All packed into a quality gatefold jacket with antistatic sleeves inside.
Wanna know what is exactly on this wax? Sure, here is a list:
So you can spit on it or lick it or whatever you people do to mark stuff that is yours. Also.. the weirdos at the logistic center told me to add this one bit below, said it's pretty important:
"Please note that because of global supply chain disruptions, the production process of any vinyl is prone to delays due to factors beyond our control. We aim to release this soundtrack in December of 2023 or January of 2024, with a disclaimer that it might be shipped later despite all our efforts to deliver it to you as soon as it becomes physically possible."
Keep rocking on, my dudes!
Steam Workshop Support is Here
Dudes,
As it was foretold so it has happened! The gates to Steam Workshop have opened to all of you and we can't wait to see the tide of your creations crashing through the internet. Last time we gave you a glimpse of what your mates from the beta had cooked up and we have promised to give you a full rundown of the changes between this version and the beta.
Changes from the be open beta:
Added the ability to capture and upload Workshop Item Thumbnail
Added placeable light sources
Added invisible trigger walls
Improved the tutorial, adding explanation to some elements that were unclear for the players before
Fixed issues where players sometimes encountered a black screen when playing a published mod or after resetting a scene in editor.
Fixed issue where Grid was visible during Play Mode
Fixed a bug where player sometimes couldn't select any objects after deleting an asset from the map
Fixed the issue where player couldn't switch their weapons when playing on a published Map
Fixed issue with ammo being picked up but not actually adding bullets
Fixed issue with grouped assets rotating incorrectly - now they all rotate in the same direction while being grouped
Fixed issue with the new game version was darker than the default one without Mods
Some of you now might be thinking... "Man, what about my suggestions?. Why aren't they in the patch notes?"
Before you gonna call the police on us, let you provide you with a reasonable explanation:
Some stuff is harder to implement than we thought and it is going to need more time in the good old development oven. We will be supporting the Workshop for over a year's time, but as to the exact scope and timeline - there ain't one yet. However, there is one thing that could speed things up a bit - your feedback. Keep us in the loop on our Discord about what you like and what you would like to see more of in the future regarding Steam Workshop!
WAIT...
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
THIS UPDATE ISN'T OVER! Sit down, we have a video for you :)
Made it through the accolades ? Yeah you guys are awesome, wouldn't be here without y'all
Yup, that is right. Your pretty peepers are not deceiving you. Not only are you getting Steam Workshop today, but POSTAL: Brain Damaged is coming to Playstation.
That is right, we are coming to Playstation 4 & 5 later this year. Can this day get any better? You bet it can
Today we have released something that might tickle your fancy - 77p egg: Eggwife.
Does it have a dedicated piss button? Yes, it does. Does it allow for unparalleled destructive creativity and jank? Yes, it does. Does it have crude and brash humor? ... Yeah, you get it by now.
If you like POSTAL: Brain Damaged, you will feel at home with 77p egg: Eggwife
And as a cherry on top of this piss cake we are going to leave this lovely little teaser here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)...
More about it soon! Till then, have a blast with the workshop!
Yours truly,
Steam Workshop Support Launch Date
Dudes, we are on a precipice of something great!
We are not sure if the internet is ready for it... but we are doing it anyway! Next week we will open the gates to the Steam Workshop for all of you. Just in case your boundless creativity catches the world in a great conflagration, we will take cover in our underground shelters and grab some popcorn of course!
Here are some highlights of the creations made by those who already had a shot at the Beta Version of Steam Workshop!
This would be a perfect moment to give a big shoutout to all participants of the Beta version of the workshop. Your feedback and input into the process was invaluable. We will be posting the full list of changes between the beta and full version in the launch update.
But wait, there's more - Today we are launching Golf vs Zombies!
What is better than golfing through a zombie apocalypse? Doing it with your friends of course! You can grab a copy today with a 20% launch discount!
Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to POSTAL, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure!
But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.
CosmoPirates
Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.
CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.
There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.
In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.
If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator.Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!
Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!
Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.
In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.
During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.
If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII.
Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.
As tradition commands, we have saved the best for the dessert! Hope you're still hungry for here comes our most ambitious in-house project so far.
Hordes of Hunger is a fast-paced action arena slasher with roguelite elements set in the dark fantasy setting of Ismer. A land engulfed by the living hunger, the cosmic horror known only as the Beast. You are the unlucky one still living inside the nightmare and the only way out is through it.
Read the terms and rules of the contest. (It's boring, but it's important to read. Always read stuff).
You'll get access to the RAW materials that you can mix.
Now's the time to mix. Max length of the track - 3 min.
Then you send it to us. Deadline: 31st Aug 2023
If your track will blow our efffin' brains out - it's gonna land on our exclusive music label (with you credited, of course #glory)
And a few lucky bastards will be rewarded with POSTAL Gadgets. (Pls help us get rid of 'em)
I guess that's it, but I'm leaving this point just in case.
Btw if you didn't have the chance to subscribe to our special music brand HYPERSTRANGE Records - now's the best time to fix that: https://www.youtube.com/@hyperstrangerecords
