Brutal Orchestra update for 27 September 2023

Bienvenidos! (Welcome Back!)

Clown Meat, Talia's next game is still pretty deep in the oven but Brutal Orchestra hasn't been left in the dust! We've been hard at work on localizing Brutal Orchestra to Spanish (with other languages on the way).

There have been some difficulties with translating to Non-English/Spanish languages so we want the help of YOU! If you are a native speaker of French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Japanese or Turkish and have an in-depth knowledge of Brutal Orchestra we want to talk with you to make sure that our translations are up to snuff before we release them to the world! Come to Brutal Orchestra's Discord and let's get discussing!

Also if you have an existing fan-translation for a language we didn't mention above that you would want made official, get in touch with us on Discord!
