This lets you record easily in-game footage from a variety of camera angles, including microphone input, and vertical orientation.

- One-Year Anniversary Sale, Roadmap, and New Limited-Edition Art Prints! - 22 February 2024
Hello Soldiers, today officially marks the 1-year anniversary since we've launched The Light Brigade on Feb 22, 2023. Sheeeesh how time flies. We are celebrating with a 30% off sale! I can still remember vividly the feeling on launch day. Our development team was gathered in a semi-circle around the monitor with the mouse cursor hovering anxiously above the "Release Now" button on Steamworks. As 9am hit, we collectively took a deep breath and slammed the big green button. Thoughts were racing and heart-a-pounding with anxiety about how people would perceive our game. Will Funktronic succeed, or will we flop? Thankfully, our game was well-received and we were able to grow an awesome community of folks. This allowed us to continue developing and improving upon the game post-launch. We see The Light Brigade as a canvas/foundation for us to build upon, and we are excited to give yall a snea…
