rogue-core-chat

[hollow bear]

In all honesty it sounds like they really wanted the same, but had to change course.

[unreal furnace]

Yeah ):

[mint notch]

Rogue core sounds awesome, but I can’t help but feel that I’d rather they gave the main game more content that it really needs…..

[atomic ridge]

I have faith that it was a necessary change and should help enhance the game, as well as the ability to do more diverse game choices rather than having to build around a core system

[obsidian radish]

with how the release map looked what will prob happen is normal drg will get(hopefully) some of the content from core, along with some new stuff

[civic isle]

ROCK AND STONE

[hollow bear]

With season 5 being a prologue for RC, I'm assuming we'll at least get a few seasons that run in tandem story wise between both games. That's the hope anyway.

[strange spade]

Rogue core would be cooler if it wasnt in hoxxes 4

[mint notch]

Also, is it the same 4 classes? Or are they new ones?

[tiny shale]

No classes

[atomic ridge]

it seems you all start with the same gear, but can choose weapons and upgrades

[obsidian radish]

do you think player items will be transfered? unfortunate. i will pray for rogue core fatboy then

[devout tartan]

No

[lone cypress]

but do the devs say if rc is canon?

[prime plover]

Hoxxes is one of the most important things about DRG. If it ain't hoxxes, it might as well not be DRG

[cobalt grail]

Thank you for saying this, any time you point this out in RoRcord you get piled on with "skill issue", even the devs basically told me "Sounds like a you problem, just have the other people feed you with printers"

[atomic sequoia]

so wait is rogue core coop or nah?

[lethal plover]

I AM GIDDY RN

[vagrant current]

1-4 player coop

[strange spade]

i just dont see it how they could develop new stuff for hoxxes but i guess i can only wait and see

[quiet tusk]

cant wait for more players balanced for rogue core 🔥 8 players gonna be crazy

[velvet marsh]

They kinda are, rogue core is all about the core of hoxxes, which is somewhere we lowly combat miners have never been to

[near escarp]

If season 5 is the prelude, I would like to see some stuff that will appear in RC to be available for the base game, even if it's just armor and weapon skins

[prime plover]

Hoxxes is a giant mystery, what we discovered is literally only the tip of the iceberg. There's so much they can still do with the planet since we still don't know much about it. Plus RC is happening in the deepest parts of hoxxes, where weve never been before

[quiet tusk]

hoxxes is like the ocean, the deeper you get, the more horror you'll find

[dark verge]

I think it's safe to say that Rogue Core will either be a good success or big enough failure to bury DRG franchise. I don't like those odds.

[devout tartan]

Bury? No, but I doubt if it fails we'll ever get another spinoff again. However I have faith

[obsidian radish]

doubtful either way it wont be a overwatch 2

[near escarp]

DRG base game is the FPS CO-OP we all know and love, RC is rougelike when everything hit the fan before you came, Survivor is Survivor, I could totally see GSG making use of the surface in some aspect if they really wanted to cover all levels of Hoxxes

[prime plover]

Why would it bury the franchise? It's only a spinoff, not even the next main game, and the base game has a big enough dedicated community that it won't be much trouble either

[dark verge]

Basically if the game fails it means that entire year of DRG has been gone for nothing and because of lack of meaningful updates and not so great state it was left in (people are REALLY sick of Rockpox) will probably make DRG numbers dwindle quite hard and will never truly recover as it is now at all time high. If Rogue Core fails then the DRG may follow suit due to this gamble.

[spare pollen]

I don't understand... Is it an event or a new game ?

[austere vapor]

New game

[near escarp]

If anything, it's better to see the spinoffs as akin to different flavors of DRG, just slight alterations of the base game in different format/genres that can satisfy other communities and expose them to the concept of DRG in general

[lone cypress]

but will we play the og 4 dwarves or 4 new?

[carmine zenith]

Because we can't learn anything from our failures

[obsidian radish]

My man your being really negative were getting a new update and a new drg game so new drg to play and later new game

[carmine zenith]

Don't try new things people, if you fail it was a waste of time.

[dark verge]

New game that pretty much takes development time away from DRG and makes the game left in this... not very good Season for a YEAR. It is bound to badly affect the game as a whole and the community. It is not good that now that it gets so much exposure it gets pretty much abandoned.

[spare pollen]

Oh !

Personnally I like that they try new things, new stuffs etc.. I'll always love the effort they put in their works

[carmine zenith]

That's sarcasm, for those of you who don't get it.

[velvet marsh]

4 new little guys, called Reclaimers, imagine drg spec ops

[faint aspen]

Spec-Ops or not we better have that V key reserved for its rightful place as the Rock and Stone Bind, otherwise I'm quitting >:(

[prime plover]

It's different characters, there is no classes tho

[fringe girder]

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE CAVES WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️

[fathom flame]

Ghostship wouldn't dare make a DRG game without a rock and stone

[velvet marsh]

I remember them saying in the devstream that rock and stone will remain. ROCK AND STONE!!

[obsidian radish]

Even in survivor we got a rock and stone so its a core mechanic that will be there

[autumn plover]

I wonder how they'll dish out closed alphas

[hollow bear]

Sooner than later, hopefully. Saw something about a lottery system earlier.

[fresh jetty]

next year apparently

[dark verge]

I do hope those 4 will have strong personalities at least like DRG miners.

[smoky cedar]

damn rogue core looks sexy

[faint aspen]

Ngl a more tonally serious group for the Reclaimers would be a neat contrast to our goofy lads but also would be equally as funny if they took it about as (not) seriously as the regular miners if not more so.

[devout tartan]

The roadmap on the steam page said something about it happening before November next year, I think I so Qi? Whatever that means

[lone cypress]

why rogue lite?
we already have rogue lite at home
rogue lite at home: drg survivor

[fresh jetty]

they did say these guys were more professional. Also closed alpha is open in Q1 according to the road map

[velvet marsh]

What would be funny is if all the goofy stuff that happens in the caves and space still is just as goofy, but the reclaimers are dead serious about it

[hollow bear]

January through April is usually q1 territory

[near escarp]

I'm excited for this. I really don't think we should be worried about RC as a stand-alone game, and in the chance that RC does fail, it's not like we don't have an already successful base game that not only would we fall back too, GSG could easily reincorporate stuff from RC into base game. (especially when RC started out as an alternate mode)

I for one am confidant in GSG. They have always listened to us as a community on all feedback we have given them, so like the base game, RC will be the best as we want it to be

[faint aspen]

Based, especially compared to some of the absolutely cold takes I've been reading today.

[lone cypress]

wonder if RC will unlock things for drg
you beat rc haz5, here a commemorative skin for drg

[near escarp]

thank you. It's one thing to be critical of it, which I can understand skepticism, but we at least need to give them the benifit of the doubt as well. They haven't done us any wrong before, no reason to assume so now.

[hollow bear]

With how season 5 is supposed to be the RC prologue, the optimist in me really anticipates some intertwining features in both games. Be it lore, cosmetics or otherwise. That way they're separate, but together.

[void musk]

I'm honestly not too worried about what the future of DRG content looks like. The game can be finished in it's current state and still be one of the best co op games.

[near escarp]

I wouldn't at all say no to more cosmetics, maybe SOME features would be nice to tie the games together in terms of gameplay like equipment if used correctly.

[fathom coral]

yeah, games can be... finished yknow? its not like base drg doesnt have insane replay value to begin with. Better than the team forcing themselves to keep with seasonal expansions if they dont feel like it

[faint aspen]

Look the fact that they aren't scared to try something new with what they have and be open about it instead of either telling us to fuck off and stopping DRG updates altogether or just working away at updates they aren't gonna be happy with making for our satisfaction tells me that GSG has a much brighter future than some people seem to think.

[opal smelt]

i would hope they dont keep the spawn rates of rockpox though

[fathom coral]

Core definitely sounds interesting, though. Hoping GSG knows how to make a roguelike good. Synergy depth makes the world go round

[prime plover]

That's more of a survivor like, game very inspired by vampire survivors. RC is FPS, as well as being developed by GSG itself, not a different studio like survivor

[vague topaz]

as awesome as this looks id be lying to say I'm not absolutely gutted this isn't online COOP I'm DYING for an in depth FPS coop rouge like/lite none the less looks very cool and very excited

[fresh jetty]

...it is?

[near escarp]

I don't think i've seen any hint of them slowing down at all. Especially with what we have gotten, from the official merch, both Survivor and RC, and a freaking board game as well. DRG as a concept has as much potential that Star Wars can still have (bringing the tons of legends lore to canon for example)

[devout tartan]

What they might do for the new game is introduce new enemies and weapons and if they go on well they'll probably set them aside and consider adding them for both games

[faint aspen]

wdym? It literally says 1-4 player co-op on the steam page

[lone cypress]

randoms pick bad skills

[vocal jasper]

if you were on this morning when the dev stream was happening and saw the discord member list, they have a lot of developers; GSG has a lot of people

[vague topaz]

@faint aspen @fresh jetty JK I'm Chonged. Just re-read it. Imma buss 🥹

[hollow bear]

Idk what half of that even means

[near escarp]

The dev stream happened at like 4am, so I was asleep lmao

[signal aspen]

bad timezone tbh
it was 15 pm for me

[near escarp]

oof

[vocal jasper]

I don't see them slowing down at all, it's nice to see the drg ip blow up

They have the resources to announce 3 new games they're publishing ontop of now rogue core that they're developing in just these past few months, GSG clearly has all the time and money

[fathom coral]

and id like to think a community that, at large, recognizes that GSG's one of the good studios

[faint aspen]

I will say that I hope they don't stretch themselves too thin, or get some really good new devs on board who we can bully >:) welcome with open arms.

[near escarp]

Exactly this, They are giving us so much, while still actually LISTENING to our feedback, is the greatest thing a video game enjoyer can have.

If this isn't the biggest middle finger to all the other major game developer companies that DON'T do what GSG does, then I don't know what is. GSG is giving us no reason to not love them, and that's why we are even here in their discord

[vocal jasper]

one of the very few good studios that has a clear vision that they want good games to be developed, GSG is already leagues ahead major horrible publishers like paradox

[grand glen]

June is a long way off for season 5, but nothing is saying that they can't throw us a bone between now and then

[fathom coral]

and they treat their employees right

[hollow bear]

That's my one main worry, but I have faith in GSG. if they disappoint, we know exactly who to bully scold

[near escarp]

I'm sure they will give us the occasional event here and there to keep us entertained in the meantime

[vocal jasper]

did they say S5 is june?

[devout tartan]

Yep

[glossy orchid]

Game sounds really cool! Shame season 5 wont be until June, but honestly with Rogue core going into early access in November of 2024 there will be a tremendous amount of DRG content in 2024. Very exciting 😀

[sudden vault]

Is this already known that it will go early access in November 2024?

[signal aspen]

no drg content for over a year

[glossy orchid]

Yeah the roadmap on the rogue core steam page says early access in November.

[near escarp]

The based route GSG could to is have mini events up until season 5 and RC launch is content that is related to both RC and S5, something that leads up to it like something happening within the company or we could be doing missions that is the company of DRG setting up operations in the core

Preludes to the prelude of Season 5 to RC if you will

[sudden vault]

Okay now thats some news, really excited as it seems to have the core (pun intented) of DRG in it

[glossy orchid]

True but I feel like a new season and a whole new game are well worth the wait 🙂

[worn rain]

Plot twist, the reclaimers are female elves

[novel granite]

Oh yeah will this be sold separately from the main game as its own thing or will it be like a DLC or something?

[pulsar sierra]

Is this the isometric one?

[urban summit]

i'm hyped, but also concerned for the main game's future considering it's like a little over 30 employees
i'm calling it, they're going to make a separate team for both games

[devout tartan]

We both know why they won't do that

[signal aspen]

;dude.. hear me out

[silk jetty]

whats rogue core even

[urban summit]

i want female dwarves from the start, as sniss said in their video

[signal aspen]

nah I want to be a manly femboy dwarf

[median sleet]

It's a new game

[next crater]

If we had any intention of leaving DRG behind, we would have made a separate discord server for Rogue Core.

[urban summit]

BASED DEV i'm honored to get such a great response

[lone cypress]

but i and probably many want you to improve current issues with seasonal contents in drg

[thin sparrow]

whats a rogue core

[flint matrix]

the core has gone rouge

[rocky dove]

rouge core 💄

[urban summit]

looking at this, it makes me even more excited for the game
no classes looks so interesting

[muted sluice]

core

[novel granite]

Okay, now the most important question of all.

Will there be a button to rock and stone?

[rocky dove]

there must be

[lone cypress]

hoxxes4 angri because we stole too many ommorans

[thin sparrow]

they wont say rock and stone, they will say core and rogue

[flint matrix]

Would Rouge Core be getting updates at the same time as DRG? And would it also use the seasonal schedule DRG uses?

[spring adder]

in lego city

[urban summit]

build the drop pod

[cosmic leaf]

I hope they don't make fatal design errors that couldn't have been in DRG. What if randoms just leave? Do you lose progress? Do you regain upgrade points? I want more infoooo

[near escarp]

In due time, I'm sure they will address those concerns soon

[lone cypress]

the devs said somewhere before that hoxxes4 is alive
wonder if that has something to do with RC

[pulsar sierra]

You can’t tell female dwarves from male, Tolkien said so

[atomic ridge]

I wonder how the more permanent mining facilities will look

[thin sparrow]

female dwarves 🤮 HEAR ME OUT

[celest meadow]

Watching that trailer felt like I saw that Watchmen meme clip lol

It's so sad Hoxxes died of rogue core.
"What the hell is a rogue core?"
rogue mah balls

[carmine zenith]

Nah.

Get dunced

[forest rain]

People be asking whats rogue core but nobody asking how rogue is the core

[tiny vale]

u right

[velvet marsh]

Nobody asking why core rogue, maybe he's just having a bad day

[median sleet]

DRG isn't in the LOTR universe

[fierce meadow]

Tater abusing his power. No way

[frail fable]

Proof? 🤨

[tiny vale]

but female dwarves stand out when shaving, except that in drg the male dwarves also shave

[knotty hull]

exactly. he was talking about south park

[pulsar sierra]

“Rock and stone” comes directly from LOTR 🤷🏻‍♂️

[void gate]

Bruh

[median sleet]

Yeah, and there's also a reference to marvel in the game. But that doesn't mean Iron Man is gonna show up tommorow to shoot some glyphids

[forest rain]

Is it possible to eat the new mineral, asking for a friend?

[wanton thorn]

it would be funny if there was a gender toggle that just raised voice pitch

[tiny vale]

and why not sir ?

[knotty hull]

Ask the loot bugs

[pulsar sierra]

All modern fantasy is influenced at least somewhat on Tolkien’s work, for much of how species and other things work

[median sleet]

Influenced ≠ the same universe.

Also I am 99% certain the devs themselves have said multiple times that female dwarves don't look the same as male dwarves in DRG.

[jaunty sparrow]

The screenshots look awesome

[tawny karma]

question for the devs, how will the closed alpha work? do you have to sign up for it? will only people in the discord be able to participate it?

[pulsar sierra]

I never said it was the Tolkien universe 🤦‍♂️

[near escarp]

I wouldn't say no to this, if not voicelines that lets female dwarves insult the boys in funny ways like telling them to pick up the slack

[velvet marsh]

Oh yeah now I think about it since it's a whole new game they could unironically add female dwarves from the get go and it likely wouldn't result in as much extra work as it would in drg, that'd be pretty cool

[untold briar]

Regarding the mid-mission “safe house” mentioned in the Living Roadmap, maybe it could be dropped in from orbit similar to the Drop Pods, Mineheads, and other familiar DRG technology meant to support teams deep underground?

[tawny karma]

what if the "elite dwarves" are just all female dwarves

[distant glacier]

I’m really hoping for an equivalent to the abyss bar, a part of the fun from drg was getting to be able to chill out with your friends before or after a mission

[coral badger]

damn I just found out about this, I am PUMPED

[near escarp]

Since RC is essentially base game with different mechanics, I would still like the option to port unlocked armor cosmetics including DLC armor, with any tweaks required for RC equipment. Mainly for those who want to RP their dwarves being reassigned from Space Rig 17 to the Ramrod on these Rogue Core assignments

[vivid fractal]

I'm guessing that early access won't come to xbox

[solemn zinc]

Probably not happening but season 5 is gonna be related to Rogue Core.

[azure patrol]

Holy

[deft trellis]

Will rouge core have cosmetics and a hub space like the space rig?

[near escarp]

sadness

[solemn zinc]

We are probably getting rogue core related cosmetics.

[vivid fractal]

Does anyone know if it will though? Me and my friends started playing deep rock together maybe two months ago but we're all on xbox

[void gate]

I wouldn't mind that honestly. If it gives more variety of cosmetics

hi rouge core chat

[lost sun]

I hope some of rouge cores content goes back into deep rock and vice versa

[near escarp]

It will, Season 5 is the prelude to RC

[wary tiger]

rouge or rogue? color or concept?

[ember viper]

[void gate]

This was stated?

[tiny vale]

[near escarp]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/

What happens to Season 5 now we have announced Rogue Core?
Season 5 for Deep Rock Galactic will happen! But due to the work on Rogue Core, Season 5 will be postponed until June 2024. Thematically, Season 5 will be a prelude in advance of Rogue Core. What does that mean then? Well, We are not yet ready to talk about that, since it depends on stuff we develop for Rogue Core. But with the open development approach to Rogue Core it will mean that Season 5 will be developed much more openly than previous seasons.

[turbid jolt]

I’m definitely disappointed that we have to wait so long but I’m glad season 5 ties into the new game it sounds interesting

[plush flame]

jesus christ even more slowmode

[void gate]

Hell yes baby ❤️
Also rogue chat best chat . Stay chill folks

[granite moth]

Tbh I feel the connection between the two games will spark a plethora of lore to flood in

[near escarp]

If they intend on having Season 5 prelude RC, while they are actively developing RC along side it, then that's perfectly fine with me imo

[velvet marsh]

I can't wait to listen to the rogue core soundtrack, I'm sure it'll be fire 🔥

[void gate]

Which honestly is what I don't mind seeing. Meaning there's actual build up to things you see in game and not just spontaneous development of new enemies. Nothing get me harder excited than actual background lore

[turbid jolt]

The wait still sucks I’m so tired of rockpox lol but at least there’s a completely new game and content for DRG on the horizon

[wicked kiln]

i can't believe the corn has gone rogue. ohio will be furious

[torn drum]

im happy they seem to be approaching lore more with the current game direction, RC is a big deal to not have any world building substance I'd imagine

[pulsar sierra]

So rogue core presumably is story driven where you gain equipment as you go along?

[near escarp]

I really hope they include BET-C to help on occasion,

because BET-C my beloved

[cursive lotus]

It’s a roguelite, so likely you’ll be grabbing things from each dive and that’s how you’ll progress

[granite moth]

...what's with the focus on rogue-likes anyways? First DRG:S then RC?
Edit: stupid autocorrection

[near escarp]

Perhaps alternate ways people can be exposed to DRG as a concept, with different genres available for those who like those kinds of games. Or at least different experiences than base game

[forest rain]

Hopefully rogue core becomes a more dark and grim of drg kinda like what project dwarka was

[granite moth]

I really feel there should be a live-event-thingmajig-like progression for rockpox's spread. Maybe even tie hunting down rockpox to Rogue Core and the new mineral at the very end

[sleek forum]

seems to be that way from the trailer

[tall plume]

"Lore flood ! I repeat : lore flood ! This isn't an exercise !"

[void gate]

DRG:S is a Vampire Survivor inspired type of rouge lite whilst from what we see, RC is a more in depth roguelike from an FPS view of gameplay . Both are different in play styles and gameplay and can serve as different games an interested player can tap into.

[tall plume]

For the love of Karl tho : this is ROGUE, not rouge

[turbid jolt]

Damn there’s a trailer already

[tall plume]

also both being from different developers

[tiny vale]

qu'est ce qui a de mal à dire rouge ? rouge-like sounds great

[forest rain]

Did you missed the stream or haven't seen the gsg channel?

[granite moth]

I hope we see Dwarka on its own.

[sweet peak]

Is rogue core gonna be a DLC if so will you have to buy it?

[ember viper]

whole new game

[tall plume]

rouge like doesn't exist, it's always been rogue but lot of people has been repeating it incorrectly. I fight for getting it back to the "Rogue" roots !

[pulsar sierra]

Maybe GRAB will show up in this game

[turbid jolt]

I’ve been under a rock but I saw some gameplay pics and the teaser the game looks promising I’m really excited now lol

[tiny vale]

"Rouge-like" team will not surrender (I dare you to do a white flag joke lol)

[sweet peak]

Is it like deep rock galactic 2?

[granite moth]

I sure hope they put up fair regional pricing like they did with DRG - maybe even discounts for people who bought bundles.
Not gonna pay figures like I have to do with Payday 3

[tall plume]

I'll do you a ban joke and say I win

[tall plume]

No, it's a different kind of game. Check the pinned message, the store page has a FAQ

[void gate]

My dream of reaching 1,000-1,500 season pass level is no longer a dream

[true sable]

no, its like drg meets risk of rain from what i understand

[weak mango]

this shit got me so hyped!!

[pulsar sierra]

Deep rain galactic

[ember viper]

risk of rock

[tiny vale]

anyway, this rouge core game is very exciting

[spare cedar]

what is this

[tall plume]

[acoustic scarab]

Game sounds epic , shame half the fanbase can’t spell rogeu

[pulsar sierra]

With all the “rouge” in here I’m gonna start calling this game red core 🤣

[austere slate]

core rouge, tres bien

[tiny vale]

Sorry I am dyslexique

[tall plume]

Armo-red core ? 😳

[median sleet]

With all this 'red' here I am gonna start calling the game save core

[void gate]

We cracked the code boys, pack it up

[weak mango]

I'd love to hear voice lines of the different teams talking about each other, like maybe the 4 dwarves ain't the biggest fan of being shown up by some new rogue core team

[tall plume]

get in the drop pod, 621 !

[lost sun]

Ngl my only worry is it’ll be hard to convince people to buy another game until it goes on sale at 10$ woah 2 minute cooldown, mainly my friends but def other people too

[void gate]

It'll be fine, I have faith in GSG to do something with what they have. It's been many years and so far they've not failed that even with minor trips and issues.

[atomic ridge]

We got a job from the drg corporation, we need to secure a coral vein for extraction

[ember viper]

RaD is actually owned by DRG

[lofty robin]

I wonder if Karl was one of these elite units. 2 minute slowmode???

[cedar kelp]

Karl wouldn't do a 2 minute slowmode

[pulsar sierra]

Karl is the entire elite squad

[turbid jolt]

On god

[lone valve]

this game will forever be drg and every single player will want drg related updates and EVERY SINGLE DISCORD MEMBER WILL RIOT AGAINST 2. MINUTE. SLOWDOWN

[void gate]

I may have complaints such as lack of new overclocks or perk rework not even done yet, but GSG has built a solid gameplay loop of a game that they still have my confidence in. They can't get everything right after all but they're still at least doing something.

If I was a game dev team and could do everything right from the get go, I would buy myself a lottery ticket

[carmine zenith]

So... 6h slowmode instead?

[frail fable]

#interplanetary-miners-union slow mode
Alternatively 1 season slow mode

[carmine zenith]

I like the one season slowmode, gives people time to really think and enjoy the game

[austere slate]

6h is crazy bro || you should make it 12h ||

[lost sun]

Rouge core better have it’s a bug thing

[thin apex]

No signs of Loot Bugs

[carmine zenith]

Rouge = 🟥

[median sleet]

Please give us a 2 day slowmode
It's the only way to fix this mess at this point

Omg hi taterrrr

You can post a singular message until the game releases

[unkempt lance]

[ember viper]

[tall plume]

I'm giving everyone no-mode because yall rare banned

[rocky aspen]

Gahd damn, a single content update in between season 4 and 5 would be really nice gsg...

[summer ferry]

Four words
"Female Dwarves, early on"
This is their chance to fix the mistake they made with deep rock!!
Being able to choose a character (not class) with their own voicelines would be insane, imagine having an elite reclaimer butch lesbian space dwarf..

My goodness <333

Also hiiii serrrrr

Edit: Spoiler alert, I'd probably play only the butch dwarf because I'd be crushing on her

[lost sun]

This elite team is only women how bout that

[frank holly]

I'm looking forward to learning more about the game and hope to play the alpha, part of the reason I got into DRG was precisely because it wasn't a roguelike and I do think the announcement that the main game is basically on hold for a while because of it could've been handled better ||imo I would've made the announcement of the game and focused development after releasing S5 due to the lukewarm reception of S4||

[pulsar sierra]

A lesbian space dwarf who smokes and calls everyone “sweetheart”

[void musk]

Am I reading correctly when they say they don't have "classes" in rogue core? Actually seems like a huge mistake but I guess time will tell

[median sleet]

What if the elite team is like 'Karl? That small fry? What about him?'

[rocky aspen]

You will make your build "on the go" as you dwelve deeper into the core afaik

[summer ferry]

"Karl... Haven't heard that name in a long time... I miss drinking with him.."

[lost sun]

What if the different armor sets actually do something unique, like gunners mk5 most damage resistance but slowest

[fathom dew]

i had no idea they were making a fps roguelike thats so badass

[void musk]

Hm. I guess it just seems like you could do both like Risk of Rain and many other roguelikes. Classes with special equipment from the getgo, but power ups and other stuff available as the run progresses.

[median sleet]

Could go either way, I like both ideas.

[atomic ridge]

It won't be like ror2, more akin to Gunfire reborn and borderlands (with the gun looting part) I think

[void musk]

I gotcha. I haven't played those. I've been looking into Roboquest recently though which is a sick looking fps roguelite

[torn drum]

i spelled it wrong on my twitter search and got weird ass results lmao

[spare smelt]

It's definitely Rouge

[summer ferry]

Imagine Junkerqueens voice actor, but less annoying and more warm (That's genuinely the only reference coming to mind oh my goodness)

Honestly seeing two men characters and two women characters to choose from would make me very happy, I'd probably cry tears of happiness if they aren't extremely stereotypical dwarves and are there own characters (with some stereotyping sprinkled in because dwarves)

[steel perch]

What is rouge core

[turbid jolt]

This is what I’m looking forward to the most

[flat badger]

We're gonna need a bigger gun

[tulip lantern]

is there going to be any way to earn cosmetics in rogue core to use inside deep rock galactic?

[midnight yew]

👎🏿

[summer ferry]

I also hope there is some type of system for progression Outside of the dives, maybe upgrading your ship or smth- I think survivors biggest flaw is there isn't any real meaningful progression (at least in my opinion) like unlocking overclocks or new weapons or even cosmetics (Yes I know it's very early access demo, but I still want to say it)

Like, honestly I'm not really sure- cosmetics could be nice, but I feel like maybe there could be more to that?

[round idol]

If the gameplay of Rogue Core is a middleground between DRG and GTFO i'm all for it. With ressource managment on a buget, challenging gunfights, and longer missions. on top of roguelite mechanics. Yeah, I'm hyped 👀

[flat badger]

Announced rogue-like spin off earlier today. I'd link it but idk the rules on linking. Look it up on YouTube the trailer's everywhere.

[muted sluice]

if its inspired by gunfire and ror2 there might be abilities??

[lost sun]

You can def play with randoms right?

[summer ferry]

Actually I think they mention that I'm game for your phase armor? But it sounds like it comes during dives

[devout tartan]

No classes, these are different dwarves as supposed to the general infantrymen of DRG

[cedar kelp]

probably, I believe they said in the stream that all dwarves start as the same but then you can level up yourself with what you please

[brazen sleet]

Ok is it me or when the ship from the trailer is heading towards hoxxies it look like the first cutsence in halo ce when the Pillar of Autumn is heading towards the ring?

[atomic ridge]

The roadmap says just a pistol and a pick

[devout tartan]

Also characters having their own voice lines wouldn't make sense, especially since in the main game all the dwarves bar a few quips share voice lines because they're all the same voice actor, and use an in-game pitch shifter

[summer ferry]

Honestly, it might be the thing I dislike the most about rogue core, I'm worried about how we'll have unique characters If they're all the same, and starting a dive with Nothing to separate you from anyone else even if it's small is disappointing to me, I sincerely hope hope Hope GSG will deliver something amazing despite my doubts

[deft trellis]

Maybe you could customize how your dwarf looks physically?

[chrome vapor]

i'm pretty sure they reffered to runs as dives

[atomic ridge]

It wouldn’t be drg without customisation

[chrome vapor]

not everyone is the same, you just don't have ordinary classes. each player can choose what starting gun do they get at the start of a run and what phase suit, which grants certain abilities to a dwarf, do they start with. it's diy classes.

[zealous spire]

Hope you can select Hazard levels

[summer ferry]

Well if they're already theoretically having a female voice actor, it might be a nice opportunity to incorporate even more unique lines between them, considering there is already significantly less separating the dwarves(one of the biggest strengths of deep rock is how fundamentally different each class plays and works together uniquely, each having their own experience)

But, who knows! They might not even add female dwarves this time and everyone will be a generic male serious dwarf

[summer ferry]

I didn't know that, thank you for telling me!!

Speaking of new weapons, I hope they don't add Any of the primaries or secondaries from DRG to Rogue core,

Since each of them vary significantly depending on the class, and each Match the class well (Like Loki and Engineer, and Scout with bolt shark)

I'd hope we see new designs and names for weapons, even if they're somewhat similar mechanically to the original weapons.(Although I'd definitely still hope for new mechanics but, I'm already being incredibly hopeful with what the game will even have)

[forest rain]

so rogue core is a different game? it's not just a game dlc or expansion for original DRG, yea?

[chrome vapor]

i think they said you can find drg weapons but only inside runs as loot or as a reward for depositing expenite into that robot they will add, but even then, they said they changed up the weapons a bit to fit with the game better.

[tall plume]

yeah

[prime plover]

It's a spin-off game yeah

[grand thistle]

so whats like the whole vibe of rogue core are there any like gameplay mechanics we know abt or like the format of it or smthn
holy fucking shit two minute slowmode its not that deep mods

[leaden venture]

god please have female dwarves, its so disappointing that all the games i play dont have an option for that 😭

[atomic ridge]

It’s rogue lite

[summer ferry]

Personally I'd love at least two mission length types you can choose from "Deeper" and "Deep" dives,

Deeper being much longer game wise, maybe around 6 hours total with a period between stages allowing for breaks for the players yet having an intense dive session over the course of a day(with greater rewards scaled to the greater length)

With Deep being regular length missions lasting around 1.5-3 hours for longer playtimes :3

And yes please female dwarves GSG, Just nice representation for women and trans women because I want to not feel uncomfortable during the gameeee

[tiny beacon]

it plays somewhat like DRG, uses the same engine and generation (obviously with new caves) and so forth. Seems like it might focus somewhat more heavily on story elements alongside its gameplay than DRG does

[grand thistle]

thats a very general genre especially when its also fps

[prime plover]

We don't exactly know, especially since the game is in pre alpha stages. We should know in the closed alpha which releases at the start of next year if I'm not wrong

[weak iris]

only next year 😭

[chrome vapor]

rogue-lite basically means roguelike but with meta-progression (permanent upgrades)

[summer ferry]

Honestly, the lore in Drg is one of my favorite parts, I love every single biome, bug, beer, weapon, overclock, machine, Everything, Drg's lore is a massive part of why I love the game so much and adore everything in it.
It's so full of life and I love it so much

If they really are focusing on the lore I'll be extremely happy!!

[teal oxide]

is this a dlc or a sequel

[tiny beacon]

one of the screenshots also appears to show pillars carved into the cave walls, so we might even see more artifacts of an alien civilization like the cubes we find sometimes appear to be

[prime plover]

Spinoff game

[acoustic shell]

did they say that EXPENITE is the only thing you can mine in Rogue Core?
or no?

[muted sluice]

haha like exp very awesome

[chrome vapor]

so far. as they said, the game is very early in development.

[weak iris]

i hope the new spaceship will have similar charm as our beloved space rig

[pulsar sierra]

Seems unlikely, just probably will be the main thing to find on some missions but we don’t know

[tall plume]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/258990272967475200/1152629588241948803/736913595585265664.gif

[grand thistle]

true but it still tells us nothing of how it will truly play
like dont get me wrong i dont expect full information from the devs cuz like its super early but at the same time genre doesnt mean much especially when its something as weird as fps roguelite

[chrome vapor]

they might have said something about it on the stream, idrk.

[grand thistle]

oh fuck therevwas a stream
also mods please for the love of god its literally just like me and this guy talking why is there a two minute slowmode

[prime plover]

Maybe it's not, but it definitely seems to be a very important part of the gameplay loop, as a currency for upgrades and such

[acoustic shell]

[tall plume]

I thought we had taken that off, hold on

[chrome vapor]

anyways, i'm really excited to see how will rc shape up (even though i might be in the army already when it releases).

[grand thistle]

cool thanks

[tall plume]

it's good now ?

[grand thistle]

yessir

[pulsar sierra]

When you deposit expenite, you get…..wait for it…EXP 🥁

[chrome vapor]

did they say anything about what is even exp in rc?

[grand thistle]

im pretty excited for this tho i hope the fact that its fps doesnt make it too similar to drg

at least im 90% sure i heard that

[acoustic shell]

so when Rogue Core goes into alpha, in Q1 of 2024, I am signing up cuz its DRG and I wanna help the devs like I did all those years ago.

[grand thistle]

i swear i heard that somewhere but i cant find that for the life of me

[chrome vapor]

i believe it will focus much more about the shooting rather than the mining.

[grand thistle]

fair

[tall plume]

well it's going to be similar in some aspect but it's going to be as similar as DRG and Tarkov

[muted sluice]

right click is prob going to be something other then a pickaxe button

[chrome vapor]

maybe

[steep scaffold]

i feel like im watching history repeat itself with Darkest Dungeon 2 especially with reading the map

[grand thistle]

oh yeah i hust checked the steam page

[chrome vapor]

but they did say we will have pickaxes in rc

[grand thistle]

yeah its like a lot of buildings

[prime plover]

I don't think tarkov is a good way to describe it. It doesn't seem like a looter extraction shooter to me

[grand thistle]

the environment is destructible so id hope so

[steep scaffold]

Strip away the core ideas of DRG and make it look like every other Rougelite, bravo 👏 👏

[tall plume]

of course, I just took the first FPS with an extraction phase that came to mind

[pulsar sierra]

Aiming

[chrome vapor]

yeah they confirmed it along with confirming rock and stone

[grand thistle]

lol based

[tall plume]

DRG and Gunfire Reborn, more like it

[pulsar sierra]

Only elite dwarves know how to aim. Everyone else thinks swinging a pickaxe makes more sense than looking down your gun’s sights

[tall plume]

still no water biome

[teal crest]

Gunfire Galactic

[obtuse kettle]

Man vs machines in tf2, is like this new game

[grand thistle]

good

[tall plume]

Deep Rock Reborn

[grand thistle]

im excited for the lore aspect of this

[chrome vapor]

yeah definitely

[weak iris]

Karl would turn in his grave if Dwarfs started to aim their guns

[fresh jetty]

DRG Devs: "I can't wait to see what new and exciting suggestions our fans have for our new game"
Us: "Water biome and medic class when."

[soft valley]

There aren’t classes in rogue core tho right

[steep scaffold]

Yep no class

[chrome vapor]

i really hope for karl lore

[turbid jolt]

Will the drop pod mechanic still be in the game

[fresh jetty]

that wont stop me!

[grand thistle]

like just from the trailer it tells us that the core of hoxxes is alive in some way and rival presence is prob a like extension of that

[steep scaffold]

Also DAMAGE NUMBERS GET THAT CHEAP DOPAMINE HIT MMMMMMMM

[soft valley]

Mother of all omeron heart stones

[turbid jolt]

They don’t even read suggestions

[fresh jetty]

in the stream they said the drop pod can't get that deep into the planet so I don't beleive so

[pulsar sierra]

Karl ain’t dead

[grand thistle]

fr

[chrome vapor]

just at the start of a run, since it can't get through that barrier around hoxxes' core

[soft valley]

Wonder how we “cut through” the barrier

[turbid jolt]

Is extraction a part of the gameplay loop?

[chrome vapor]

i don't think so

[fresh jetty]

not really sure at this point

[chrome vapor]

the recalimer's mission is to reclaim the core

[grand thistle]

so i wonder if its smthn like a bunch of those rooms u see in the steam page and u just like travel thru an abandoned thingy

[soft valley]

It’s a rogue lite

So I’d assume dying is

Like

[grand thistle]

actually that makes a lotta sense huh

[soft valley]

Expected to occur

[chrome vapor]

yes

[grand thistle]

if its a roguelite there should be a room based generation system

i mean drg has that alrdy but a more set room system

[wicked spindle]

To me it seems like once we 'clear' the mine that we're taking control of again, I imagine that the dwarves could just leave after completing the goal

[frigid path]

I was tempted to put “shooting range” in #rogue-core-suggestions but couldn’t in good faith cause no shitposting allowed there

[turbid jolt]

Would be cool if we hop on a super elevator or something

[pulsar sierra]

This is how the clone theory comes into play, you will play as clones who gain collective intelligence as their prior versions die

[grand thistle]

what are we even fighting in rc tho

[wicked spindle]

Oh yeah for sure

[chrome vapor]

they said that rc will also have procedural generation thing as drg

[wicked spindle]

The core, it's gone rogue

[turbid jolt]

I hope there are more things we can build

[grand thistle]

but like tf does fighting the core look like

[fresh jetty]

the whole world is your meme chat if you believe (please do not post memes in the non memes chat this was a joke)

[grand thistle]

makes sense

[soft valley]

I do hope for one thing in rogue core

And that’s it being more horror esque

[summer ferry]

Yay I wrote my first suggestion for RC :>

[frigid path]

Next you’ll tell me not to ask for critical medical advice in general chat

[wicked spindle]

I think its more going to be along the lines of, the core is some form of sentience that is actively sending flora and fauna at us, rather than drg's typical "its just very dangerous"

[soft valley]

DRG can already be horror adjacent sometimes

So it would be fun to see it go a bit deeper into that

[summer ferry]

I entirely agree we >v<

[grand thistle]

#drg-gallery dont mind the shitty quality but it seems to be like a hacknslash type uprade system

[wicked spindle]

I think just with some of the biome designs its looking way mroe horror leaning, plus with the concept in general of "the planet is alive"

[grand thistle]

unless im@misunderstanding whatever that is

[soft valley]

Yeah def

Also the fact that you only seem to get a pistol?

At least at the start

[wicked spindle]

oh yeah

[grand thistle]

actually that might be like a perk system

[pulsar sierra]

Definitely only at the start

[elder garnet]

He will always be with us in our hearts and spirits

[torn drum]

How is there a suggestion chat for a game we don’t know anything about 😭

[turbid jolt]

Gameplay trailer when

[torn drum]

I mean if the devs want ideas…

[grand thistle]

wtf does dagadegatto mean

[soft valley]

I’d assume they just want to hear stuff

I wonder how the dwarf voicelines will be setup since they aren’t tied to class because classes don’t exist

[frigid path]

I wonder what kind of secrets/easter eggs will be in rogue core, hopefully at least a few nodding at DRG

[wicked spindle]

we may have a voice pitch slider or something similar

[soft valley]

The two games are inherently related I’d expect references between the 2 to exist

[wicked spindle]

I'm also hoping for a fem dwarf option

[elder garnet]

?

[wicked spindle]

Like a woman dwarf

not just guys

[elder garnet]

yes

[fresh jetty]

I wonder if cosmetics will be a thing. I feel like with how core your suit is to gameplay we might just get fewer options

[turbid jolt]

So I’m assuming these dwarves are the elite since they are going even deeper than EDD?

[wicked spindle]

maybe?

[frigid path]

Totally possible since they’re starting anew and don’t have to remodel 3000 cosmetics

[wicked spindle]

it did mention that they're a special group

[soft valley]

Prolly

EDD doesn’t have us at the actual like

Core

[wicked spindle]

yeah I totally understand why they dont have the option in drg

[grand thistle]

wait what how does the suit effect gameplay

[wicked spindle]

I'm honestly just really excited about the extra world building we're going to be getting

[grand thistle]

fr

[prime plover]

I mean, aren't we going very near the core of the planet?

[soft valley]

There’s different suits that effect gameplay

[fresh jetty]

that

[soft valley]

Something about breaking through the inner area to the core is fucky

[prime plover]

Suits have abilities that affect it

[soft valley]

Inb4 it’s GTFO drg edition

[grand thistle]

oh cool

[frigid path]

So does this mean that Hoxxes IV is a living organism?

[soft valley]

Prolly?

Or at least the core of it is

[wicked spindle]

certainly is implying something along those lines

[frigid path]

Also we should give it a meme name like we did with Harold

[soft valley]

Glyphids might literally be the planets anti bodies

[prime plover]

I mean ommorans are living rocks, so hoxxes could be similar case

[wicked spindle]

Carl

[fresh jetty]

there's already been a few things implying hoxxes could be alive

[soft valley]

Yeah

[fresh jetty]

sentient rocks can exist in DRG's universe

[soft valley]

The info we’ve gotten for this game just leans into it

Even more

[pulsar sierra]

Inb4 Hoxxes is the source of the Ommarons

[wicked spindle]

yeah tbh it seems like at least 75% of the things on hoxxes are soem form of sentient

[frigid path]

They could even be eggs/cores wanting to become new planets

[fresh jetty]

the heartstone is really heavily implied to be somewhat sentient so other rocks could probably be alive

[sonic gyro]

I will be honest, i dont like it. Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core could be some kind of revamp of the Deep Dives (one of the 2 things, the other is the Promotion Assigment, that need an upgrade because they are a bit lackluster); and waiting a year for an update its much for a game like DRG.
Im not ok with this, but i will keep playing and supporting the game i love. We will see what the future has for us.

[wicked spindle]

I mean hey, there's also the question of what even is the thing that cries out when we collect the eggs in the missions

[grand thistle]

along with the massive dna spirals

[prime plover]

Yeah it is, as far as we know you can only get them from hoxxes

[grand thistle]

i like to think the dna spirals are literally the dna of the planet

theyre just so massive that one dna spiral is bigger than us

theyre oddly rare for a useless formation so i might sound crazy and yall might not know what im talking abt

[turbid jolt]

Omg never thought of that what were the theories

[fresh jetty]

tbh I think those are leftovers from the forebearers

[soft valley]

I’d assume it’s a glyhpid right

[frigid path]

And also what the hell elevator plants are connected to

[grand thistle]

oh makes sense

[prime plover]

They surely had their reasons for why it's a separate game and not a expansion for DRG. Otherwise they prolly wouldn't have done it the way they did

[soft valley]

Because they’re glyphids ehgs

Or are they not glyphid eggs

[grand thistle]

perhaps the core of hoxxes is just a massive fucking glyphid

[wicked spindle]

Maybe?? but like, they're randomly places in flesh bubbles seemingly unconnected to anything but rock

[soft valley]

That’s true

[grand thistle]

fucking massive glyphid*

big difference

[pulsar sierra]

Are they said to be impacting on the planet like the plague meteors or we just detect a heartstone every now and then?

[wicked spindle]

XD

I believe we just find the heartstones

[frigid path]

For a second my brain read “Duck”

[grand thistle]

the ping on the area around the egg does say organic material

maybe the alien eggs are just dread cocoons but young

[wicked spindle]

that could be it

[grand thistle]

because the organic material is pretty similar too

[soft valley]

True

[wicked spindle]

yeah, just as squiggly

[grand thistle]

its just bigger egg bigger organic material

[turbid jolt]

Based on what they told us so far it makes sense why it has to be a separate game

[grand thistle]

fr

[prime plover]

They just pop up, they grow on hoxxes if you know what I mean

[soft valley]

I wonder if the dwarfs in rogue core will make fun of the combat miners

[turbid jolt]

Maybe we’ll see the queen

[pulsar sierra]

I think certain glyphids go into a second metamorphosis cocoon to become dreads so they were first a smaller glyphid

[wicked spindle]

oh they've got to, no way there isnt gonna be some ribbing now and then

[grand thistle]

im hoping for that ngl

or like smthn bigger than dreads

id love aaaaa idk what theyre called but yk fights with like MASSIVE things where u cant really like maneuver around them u just gotta dodge the attacks

[wicked spindle]

Man I hope we see some new dread designs maybe

raid bosses

[grand thistle]

the only one that comes to mind is borderlands 3 the wooden monster thingy

yeah basically

[wicked spindle]

things like the caretaker

but bigger

[grand thistle]

eh cuz u can still circle the caretaker

[wicked spindle]

well yeah, but like, large, stationary boss

[grand thistle]

id like a boss with a somewhat limited play area

yeah true

[prime plover]

Korlok?

[grand thistle]

nuhuh

[prime plover]

Dang didn't guess

[grand thistle]

uhhhhh i cant rlly think of any other examples

enter the gungeon has two bosses like that the wall and bomb

but all of my examples r pretty obscure soo

[wicked spindle]

oh yeah like the dragun

[summer ferry]

So true bestie,
Hoxxes seems like a Benny or a Sali to me :3

[summer ferry]

Omen modulator?? :0

[grand thistle]

yeahhh

[grand thistle]

😭 nuhuh

drg doesnt have any examples of a boss like that

thats why i want one

[summer ferry]

Ohhhhh ok

[verbal slate]

Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but what concrete information do we have on the game and where can it be viewed? The trailer didn't show much in regards to what it actually is.

[fringe girder]

what dis game btw another extract? is it gonna steal all my time like drg

[prime plover]

It's a rogue lite

[turbid jolt]

The DRG subreddit has more details

[prime plover]

Tbf, the game is in pre alpha

It's still a long way to go for it

[wicked spindle]

What has been said is that it is a 1-4 player rogue-lite/like set in teh drg universe, begin with simple weapons, and build up power as you descend to the core to try and take back mines that have been taken over by the "rogue core"

it began as an expansion to teh base game and has grown to become its own game, they said they decided that it should become its own full game about a month or 2 ago and gone ahead with that plan

it does not use classes, unlike drg, but you can unlock weapons and armors to modify your personal experience

[verbal slate]

Thank y'all for the responses!

[fringe girder]

the screenshots look like it should just be another season

[wicked spindle]

it looks liek its going to be much larger than a season atm

[prime plover]

Pre alpha, the game just started development, and since it's based on DRG it borrows assets as placeholders

[wicked spindle]

^^

[verbal slate]

I'm really excited, DRG feels like it could make an excellent rogue lite with a few changes.

[summer ferry]

I'm also very excited, I hope GsG makes a Lot of money off Rogue core so they can keep funding this dream -w-

[edgy forum]

Will Rogue Core be on consoles down the line I wonder?

[prime plover]

Yeah don't see a reason why not

[random jacinth]

Did I hear a Rogue and Core?

[edgy forum]

Rogue and Core!

[trim zephyr]

this game looks so cool, and kinda scary lol. i just wish we had more deeprock content for the time being, just to hold us over

[tight fractal]

Well deep rock already had rogue like maps I thought... now with alot more random

[trim zephyr]

i thought season 4 was a bit of a letdown so ive been wanting more for a bit

[prime plover]

Funfact, it was prolly because of it game

Development for it started prolly around season 3

[trim zephyr]

yea prob

[prime plover]

Aand since gsg is a small studio, they can't work on 1 thing without affecting the other

Hence why season 5 is delayed

But 2024 will be good in a sense they season 5 releases in june

And then in November we get this games early access

[trim zephyr]

june 😭

yea

[prime plover]

Plus maybe even survivor will fit in that year maybe before june

[coral zephyr]

minecraft moment

[trim zephyr]

deeprock does more than minecraft lmao

[prime plover]

But mojang is a indie studio🥲

Like bungie

[trim zephyr]

owned my microsoft

[coral zephyr]

🙂

[trim zephyr]

minecraft devs when they have to add one new mob per year

[prime plover]

(I love destiny, I have a untreated addiction)

[round bloom]

Ok what was the song used for the latest teaser trailer

I swear that it's a song from DRG but I can't find it and it's driving me insane

[prime plover]

It may be a exclusive song to RC

[lime bloom]

horrors of hoxxes isnt it

https://youtu.be/fpIBULiXneU

anyway i am so pumped for rogue core

[round bloom]

YES

[maiden cloak]

Big same

[round bloom]

Thank you

[dim flume]

DRG rougelike is what I wanted for a deep dive expansion but this is really cool

[sharp eagle]

Do we know if rogue core will have the same basic shooting mechanics and feel as deep rock?

[prime plover]

It was originally a expansion for DRG, but grew so much it became its own thing

[dim flume]

I wonder what the price is

[prime plover]

It's still too early to tell tbh

[azure plaza]

almost guaranteed to be the case

[prime plover]

That's not been set up uet

[azure plaza]

this is literally a mod for drg

[dim flume]

becuase im fine paying DRG prices if it's a DRG sized game

and this does not feel like ghost ship just chasing trends

[round plinth]

i mean, drg is already cheap for what it is

[prime plover]

Says while they're few months in development, when they plan to make it over a 2 year period

It's currently in a pre alpha state

They decided it'll be its own game like month or 2 ago

[azure plaza]

cool ig

[dim flume]

my idea for the deep dive update was infinitely scaling dives with infinite levels but this seems way cooler

[lime bloom]

aw man november next year is early access

eh let them take their time

[prime plover]

Unless you get into closed alpha, then it's q1 next uear

[lime bloom]

yeah

[prime plover]

It's gotta be

It's its own game

[lime bloom]

the roadmap looks fire

i watched the teaser last night and didnt realise there was so much information out already

i am beyond hyped

[prime plover]

It doesn't that much tbh

Wait times are a bit long

They're not a big problem for me

[lime bloom]

polish takes time

[prime plover]

But I still wish it'd be quicker

[lime bloom]

season 5 in june next year so i think theyre cooking something big for drg

[prime plover]

Oh I know, I'm not complaining

[azure plaza]

they better be cooking real hard, s5 got postponed coz of this game

[dim flume]

I take the same approach to ghost ship as I do supergiant, they are artisans who should not rush

[rigid remnant]

unfortunetly not, I heavily doubt s5 will be anything bigger then s4

[prime plover]

They're not. They said not to expect something giant for the wait time we had

[lime bloom]

i mean its not pox again

aw man

[rigid remnant]

I think it's been actually stated that drg won't be getting any big content updates

[prime plover]

I'd expect a average size update

[prime plover]

Well that's a lie if I've seen one

[rigid remnant]

can I send my source in your dms then

[prime plover]

Big updates will only be slightly farther in between, with balance patches and such in between

[prime plover]

Sure but I prolly won't believe it when I have a official roadmap before my eyes

[lime bloom]

the drg steam post says 'You shouldn't expect big juicy bundles of new content from these [maintenance updates]. We’ll save that for the coming Seasons, though they might feel far in the future right now.'

so its not like its gonna be below average at least

[rigid remnant]

ehh

we'l just have to wait and see

[lime bloom]

im expecting some rockpox clean up because of the pushback

[rigid remnant]

time will tell how s5 will turn out

[prime plover]

Like I said, it'll be average updates, they'll just have longer wait times

We won't have a giant update for a year of wait time

[lime bloom]

yeah

[rigid remnant]

hopefully rockpox is gonna get the shelf

[prime plover]

Theyve already told is that

[prime plover]

It will, just like rivals

[lime bloom]

i honestly dont feel much different about pox than i do robots

they just start to get old after a year of each

[prime plover]

Apart from balance patches and such it won't get much new content

[prime plover]

I quite like rockpox

[lime bloom]

i loved s3

s4 doesnt really feel very changed

[rigid remnant]

If they built more on rockpox on it's launch, I would have loved it

[prime plover]

But prolly because I'm a giant zombie fan, and it scratches my itch

[lime bloom]

i still havent even encountered harold

[prime plover]

It has a sick aesthetic and lore

And gameplay ain't bad imo

It's different enough

[lime bloom]

yeah

[prime plover]

It's almost like the headshot trope for zombies

Except it's boils

[lime bloom]

apparently s5 is gonna be super open in its development anyway

so we wont be starved for information

[dim flume]

I now have the theory that hoxxxes is actually alive and dying

[prime plover]

Didn't they say that RC will just be open? Or did I misinterpreted that

[lime bloom]

'That means we’ll be sharing a lot more about Season 5 development than we have with previous Seasons, so you’ll be able to follow along as it takes shape.'

drg steam post

[prime plover]

Oh so I missed that

That's good at least

Hope they do a first material on it soon

[dim flume]

im sad about the delay for S5 but I get it

[lime bloom]

theyre spread pretty thin so i dont blame them

survivor s5 rogue core board game

for what i believe isnt a huge team

[prime plover]

Survivor and board game is only published by them

Development is only on RC and DRG

[lime bloom]

oh alright

i asssumed survivor was dev'd too

[prime plover]

Nah

If you look at it's steam page, it's a different dev

But it's published by gsg

[lime bloom]

oh i see

[prime plover]

They basically reached out to gsg about it and they have them their blessing

From what I remember

[lime bloom]

regardless im happy theyre taking their time to keep stuff shiny

id rather that than the gamefreak approach of quantity over quality

[prime plover]

Ah well, ill be heading to sleep

Cya!

[earnest jay]

is this a standalone game or the next seasonal update?

[lime bloom]

standalone

[earnest jay]

oh what's the main concept for it

I didn't tune into the livestream but from the images the most unique thing I saw so far was the perk system

[alpine pebble]

e

[lime bloom]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/ read through the steam page

[rapid cypress]

man I can't wait

[lime bloom]

and watch the teaser trailer

its got heaps of info

[rapid cypress]

I hope its a bit more ambient, like dead space or something

it going silent sounds like a horror game yknow

[pine skiff]

The teaser trailer... doesn't say that much

More a thematic teaser, most of the juicy stuff is in the screenshots and text

[simple cloak]

speaking of the text, in the roadmap what does Qi mean? (above November)

[quaint monolith]

They said Inspired by ror2 and gunfire reborn so, it's something like that

Definitely up my alley

Can't imagine using the leadstorm or something in a ror2 Inspired game

[south trail]

Quarter 1- which’d be January to March

[humble vapor]

how does the closed alpha work? big drg fan lol I'm sure most of us would want to contribute

[ripe compass]

[covert timber]

this game sounds awesome! I always loved the partial roguelike (or roguelite?) kind of gear progression DRG has but adding items as the run goes along like this is definitely my kind of thing

[velvet marsh]

oh yeah baby, DRG and Risk of Rain 2 are some of my favorite games ever, a partial mix of the two sounds just unreal to me

[covert timber]

yep they are basically the only 2 games my friends can consistenly agree to play

so this is perfect! I will just need to get 3 copies when it comes out

[ashen cipher]

expected new season
Got an entire new game in my favorite genre
lets go

[cedar tusk]

all I gotta is that I'm hugely dissapointed in the community and how whiney/entitled they were during the live stream... People crying that they gotta wait til season 5... Like guys, they've been giving us free seasonal stuff and free season pass for years... holy crap let them make another game if they want to

not very rock n stone sniffle

[round plinth]

and its not like DRG is gonna lose support lol

[cedar tusk]

exactly xD

[buoyant hound]

I’m a little bummed how long the wait for s5 is going to end up being, but my hype for rogue core more than makes up for that. Absolutely can’t wait.

[cedar tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-rock-and-stone-gif-22047860

[finite salmon]

I'm hoping rogue core gives the dwarves the same kinda good character the Drg dwarves have

[elfin hinge]

Fat Man Intensifies

[warm anvil]

I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW SEASON WHAT

[wraith bane]

Really excited for the new game!

[bold dagger]

so whats gonna be the difference?

[polar tendon]

no, Rogue Core is a separate gayme

[warm anvil]

Yeah lol

Strange

I don't know what else they can do

Maybe 3rd person ig?

[round plinth]

DGR 2

[warm anvil]

Like overwatch 2

[bold dagger]

wonder how its gonna affect the game

[chrome thicket]

What was the reason they gave for putting DRG on life support for this new game ? seems like a huge L

[cedar tusk]

ruh roh, whiney entitled brats coming in

[warm anvil]

Wow

[wraith bane]

From what they explained its like a new mode based on DRG.
Instead of selecting classes and loadouts, everyone starts with some basic equipment and becomes more powerful as the game goes on, getting upgrades and powerups, both in meta progression and in a run.

Basically, a rogue lite DRG

[bold dagger]

i am so fucken DOWN

rogue likes are my shit

[cedar tusk]

DRG giving us free DLC (seasonal updates) for years AND the best again, FREE seasons pass.... better system than any other game and FREE for years but people can still find a way to cry, so crazy

[warm anvil]

Idk knowing it's a new game is strange?

Like yeah sure more drg is fine but doing this while your other game is still good and green is strange

[wraith bane]

I hope they will expand their teams so both games can be updated at a decent pace

[polar tendon]

maybe there will be some cosmetic stuff unlocked in one game for having achievements in the other

[elfin hinge]

if the game was barely updated, we wouldnt see the seasonal updates

so shut your trap

[ashen cipher]

they're expanding the brand. and also it's being made by a seperate studio with over head from GSG as a publisher

[warm anvil]

Oh really

[ashen cipher]

yeah

[round plinth]

they're not putting DGR on like suport

[warm anvil]

So ghost ship isn't jumping between them

That's good

[covert timber]

mmm i thought it would be weird if they split the team like that

[wraith bane]

Same, especially them saying the RoR2 was a big inspiration is very exciting!
This has the potential to be insanely good.

[bold dagger]

i dont think itll affec the current game much being the difference between em

[polar tendon]

Deep Galactic Rock

[covert timber]

it's the same deal as DRG: survivor then?

[ashen cipher]

basicly

[warm anvil]

Seemingly

That's fine

[summer bramble]

but the store page for rogue core says the devs are gsg

[warm anvil]

Im not as concerned anymore

[wet tulip]

No, DRGS isn't developed by GSG

[warm anvil]

Oh.

I'm getting mixed signals

[summer bramble]

I think theyre confusing it with survivor

[warm anvil]

I'm concerned again

[bold dagger]

damn so they got 2 games in alpha

[warm anvil]

That's stupid

[covert timber]

big misinformation moment

[wet tulip]

Roguecore and DRG are developed by the original developers (Ghost Ship Games)
DRGS and others are developed separately and published by Ghost Ship Publishing

[warm anvil]

I DONT KNOW WHATS RIGHT OR WRONG

[covert timber]

check the pins of this channel also, it has a little bit of context

[bold dagger]

interesting

[covert timber]

so it's like a different gamemode... in a way

[bold dagger]

so their just fastballing content for us. thats dope.

[covert timber]

but also not really? I guess we will see

[warm anvil]

Wait wait so it's just drg

Like same engine

ITS OVERWATCH 2

YAAH

[covert timber]

no,,,,

[wet tulip]

DRGRC

DRGR

[ashen cipher]

I apoligize for the spread of misinformation
I was poorly informed

[covert timber]

OW2 replaced the original game completely so this is not the same deal

[wet tulip]

Apologize my balls buckaroo

[bold dagger]

im assuming itll play like drg, but with different game mechanics and a different genre

[warm anvil]

I'm just being silly

But

[wet tulip]

OW2 also sucks, I have actual faith in this game

[wraith bane]

Survivor is a offshoot game by completely different developers that base their game in the DRG world.

Rogue Core is made by DRG devs as their new focus for now, with updates for DRG still coming out, but at a much slower rate.

I recommend anyone confused about this check out the store pages for rogue core and survivor

[warm anvil]

It is kinda the same isn't it

Engine look yada yada

[ashen cipher]

tbh I'm excited to see what new stuff they bring to the table with this game
getting to see hoxxes in a new light will be awesome

[covert timber]

we don't know how it will change the development time of DRG updates tho

[warm anvil]

I'm not entirely sold on this idea...

[earnest jay]

I think season 4 was pretty sparse in content since rogue core was in dev at the same time, otherwise november sounds like so soon for a newly announced game

[wraith bane]

They revealed their road map.
Season 5 will come out in june 2024, making the current season about a year long

[covert timber]

and keep in mind it's all ! subject to change ! so we don't know exactly how it will look, feel, etc.

[warm anvil]

Jesus dude

[mental trellis]

honestly i think they're doing 1 season per year for the reason of getting rid of the ritual of part 1 and part 2

[warm anvil]

A year of corrupters, terrifying

[bold dagger]

i aint mad, i like just got back into the game

[mental stump]

Let them be disappointed.
They like the DRG game and not necessarily the roguelite genre, I know my friends were not really up for it.
People will like what they like, can't change that.
I think this is the freshest DRG iteration I could play so I'm down.

FREE seasons pass.... better system than any other game and FREE for years but people can still find a way to cry, so crazy
Just let them complain because no one's gonna stop them anyway.
Also, being FREE doesn't make something also Criticism-FREE.

For those doubting a roguelite DRG, just give Risk of Rain a test first, dip ur toe in the genre then whatever you think of it.
Maybe it'll change ur mind, maybe not. But at least you'll be more informed by the end of it. That's all.

[warm anvil]

I like rougelikes

[glass plinth]

i spent over 1000+ hours in this game im sure there is things to do for most people while they wait for the next season

[ashen cipher]

if they have a year I'm confident the update is gonna be great. especially since it's coming with a new perk tree rework which has been a major point

[warm anvil]

But I think it's a strange choice to do this

Not bad just

I'm suspicious

Games are hard to make

[wraith bane]

But, we might get content earlier.
There will be an alpha test early in 2024, so thats kind of new content.
If the new game is as good as it sounds I think the wait is worth it.
I hope they anticipate success and work to expand their teams long term, so both games get good updates frequently with no crunch

[covert timber]

...and?

like in what way is it sus i mean

[ashen cipher]

The big thing for me to is that the devs probably wanna mix up what they're making. They've been making DRG for so long taking a break to stretch there legs and experiment sounds good tbh

[sick crystal]

Did anyone see the new gun in the GameTrailers thumbnail

[void sage]

Seriously the base gameplay is what I come back for. I still love playing with friends! And Rogue Core looks really cool to me. My friend group love ror2 and roguelikes so I think we'll have a blast with rogue core. :)) we don't play every day cos we all work so maybe that's why we're not fussed over the wait lol.

[warm anvil]

Splitting devs for an already small-ish indie developers to make another game that's just slightly different (so far) seems prone for problems

[covert timber]

fair point. I guess we'll have to see

i trust them to handle it

[warm anvil]

I hope

[fervent sky]

I was very dissapointed towards season 4 because it lacked content compared to previous major updates that we had to wait over half a year for, which ended up being more rockpox, and we didn’t really have any answers as to why we waited so long for less content than before.
While I’m still unhappy with season 4, especially now that we have to wait a year until season 5, I’m very grateful that we have information as to why we have a seasonal format that takes months between major updates, with that being rogue core and season 5 being tied to the new spinoff and thank god not more rockpox

[sick crystal]

At the end of the day, its a company and if they're making a sufficiently different product in the same universe to meet their ends meat then so be it. I'm just glad to see more dwarfery in this universe

[void sage]

Why's that?
They make it a separate game so it can be it's own experience and have dedicated support for it. It seems like they will probably be adding more to it than just a standard expansion.

[warm anvil]

Idk, having a year for a season also seems like a way to loose Intrest

[fervent sky]

I’m more accepting towards DRG’s current update system because I know the dev team is focusing on other things and not just the original game

[warm anvil]

Because super big indie projects and ideas usually are pretty bumpy, just worried that's all

[void sage]

Just play a different game, dude. It's okay to slow down a bit with DRG and come back when you feel like it if you're only there for new content all the time...

[ashen cipher]

they're also allowed to make other things
I've had so much enjoyment in this game that I can just keep playing and it's always there when I wanna pick it back up

[warm anvil]

I think the idea is fine I'm just worried something bad might happen jeez

[void sage]

That's fair. But they have all the experience of making and developing DRG - I think this will allow them to both flex their creativity and also add some more to the DRG universe, which most people should be happy about I thought lol

[ashen cipher]

stop being worried
as long as we believe in them nothing bad will happen

[warm anvil]

Good point

Gotta believe

[dreamy bay]

so survivor and rogue core, or just rogue core now?

[ashen cipher]

anyway I can't wait to buy the new Core DLC armor pack so GSG can have more of my money

[warm anvil]

No more games I eated them all

[distant glacier]

Just rogue core, survivor is developed by someone else

[sharp junco]

Survivor is separate game not made by gsg

[ashen cipher]

[frail fable]

Do not forget table game too

Or #drg-chat game

[sharp junco]

That is made by other company too

[ashen cipher]

the dwarves are expanding

[void sage]

Soon it'll be dwarves, all the way down

[ashen cipher]

ngh
I need rouge core, now

[void sage]

Speaking of rogue likes I'm still waiting for risk of rain returns to come out

[sharp junco]

Rouge core

[mental stump]

Best advice I could give is don't look at DRG or DRG:RC as a main game no matter how much you like it.
Treat it as a secondary game of urs that you come back to when ur bored with ur Main game and one that gets updates once a year and perhaps your expectations of it will be better.
Also, anticipate that years down the line, the team will eventually move away from DRG and the DRG brand itself not because of finances but because they don't want to be "typecast" to just being known for DRG.

[frail fable]

Róże?

[ashen cipher]

Rouge core

[fringe forum]

I came to this channel to talk about the new survivor game and see this?
interesting, another DRG Game. I hope that the devs aren't stretching themselves too thin with this

[sharp junco]

What a spin off that would be

[ashen cipher]

true
DRG board game is my main game

[fringe forum]

btw, what channel should i talk about Survivor? I don't see any channel specific to it

[sharp junco]

They probably have their own discord

[frail fable]

For sure not in #drg-survivor

[fringe forum]

at first thought that i somehow missed it and was being dumb, until i realized you cant actually talk in that channel and that is just a news channel

[frail fable]

Exactly 😔

[spice thunder]

They do have their own server https://discord.gg/QXRc5CJTBx

[fringe forum]

did not expect that for some reason
especially since it is a solo game and not community focused

[ebon ravine]

i guess it's mostly the timing of the announcement that's not ideal for those who like the main DRG game

[sharp junco]

Solo roguelikes games have big communities usually, look at noita in example

[spice thunder]

I love noita I love to noit

[cedar tusk]

@mental stump years of free seasons and seasons pass does matter in this case... to act that entitled and whiney about not getting FREE season 5 in the time they expect it... that's insanity so you're just dead wrong, but that's okay

[fresh jetty]

Look we gotta find some kind a middle ground here because while I think that it’s a bit unfair to expect so much from the devs while they’re split between the two games, that doesn’t mean it’s not fair to be disappointed with over a year of no new content for the game

[outer lodge]

Is it good? I really have interest on it, but it's so expensive for me (Brazil [I don't even know if they deliver to here])

[fickle dome]

What's Rogue Core?

[arctic igloo]

Imagine only getting into this game recently xD then we have this news

[outer lodge]

https://youtu.be/kiALb0dCsiw?si=hcWE4bMErcWXqyjk

[fresh jetty]

I get there’s not much they can do, I get that this is what they have to do, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing

[arctic igloo]

But yeah historically 8 years is a long time

[thin apex]

Hmmm

If all core mining operations went dark after the extractiom of the new mineral, that means only one thing

[outer lodge]

I don't see why so many people see this as the end bro, really

[outer lodge]

6g bad

[thin apex]

The final boss must be a Lootbug Queen, who feeds on that new mineral

[arctic igloo]

Or maybe lootbug is not as innocent as they seems?

[forest rain]

so apparently the next season for DRG is in what, 2024?

that's quite long

[thin apex]

June 2024

I won't complain at all if they somehow make rockpox missions be able to get deactivated

[forest rain]

quite a long wait, oh well

anyways once the demo for rogue core drops, gonna try it out

[thin apex]

rather than forcing you to do them

[outer lodge]

They will probably set the game to neutral (no seasons), this would be smart I suppose

to calm down us

or maybe we should unionize

[mental stump]

If you truly believe that the season updates being free should make it and it's contents immune from any and all forms of criticism, constructive or unconstructive, then so be it. We'll just agree to disagree.

At least the only thing you and I got in common is that we more open and optimistic with DRG rougelite, I guess. That's all I wanna say.

[arctic igloo]

And exclude new players? Idk ...

[thin apex]

doubt, I'd much prefer to be able to turn off lithophage warnings and be able to do the mission without it

[outer lodge]

Content acessible via default loot pool, rockpox missions working just like rival incursion

better than infinite rockpox I suppose

[mental stump]

It might be fun if instead, they put in a system that alternates between infesting the maps with Rockpox for a day, then Rivals on the next.
In a way, like "rerunning" a season only the % chance encounter is bumped up.

[outer lodge]

ohohohoh now THAT'S interesting

[forest rain]

I'm eager to see it!

[mental stump]

Maybe a separate day where the chances of encoutering Korlok is bumped to 50%.

On a separate day, BET-C by 75%. 🤷

[near escarp]

I'd like random encounter increases

[outer lodge]

That's actually a pretty interesting idea for them to ponder about, and would really help the game if they really decide to slow down things.

I gotta say I am hyped for Rogue Core, hope they add something that syncs between the games, like the account level or something, would be interesting...

[mental stump]

To say something positive about DRG:RC for a bit.

I hope, HOPE, that we will finally see what that 'thing' is when we go down there.
Remember, that scream whenever you pluck out an egg from Egg Hunts?
I don't buy that it's just a collective Horde scream.
My tin-foil hat thinks it's a single creature itself, sensing it's eggs are being taken - to be served as an omelet...

[brisk valley]

That’s not even slightly what people are saying and you know it. People are saying you shouldn’t demand a game keep pumping out free updates on the same consistent basis forever and ever, without allowing the dev team to slow down or work on other projects. This “criticism” is not immune to criticism.

DRG has been a complete paid experience for a while now, the people calling it abandoned are just outright lying. Pretty much all the criticism I’ve seen is just people complaining that they have to wait for more content, or people who have not read the blog posts (like people who don’t seem to get that maintenance updates are still being worked on). You don’t have to keep playing in rock pox missions, nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you. Play other missions or other games while you wait. It’s not hard.

[pearl tinsel]

Devs also said they'd be doing maintenance updates that would include balance changes, bug fixes, and optimization, until season 5 rolls around. The game is definitely not abandoned

[bitter quartz]

I hope ghost ship will let us mine the core of hoxie 4 and sell it for 10 credits

[distant glacier]

And I doubt they’ll abandon the game when RC comes out either

[acoustic marsh]

I bet it's a dreadnought after it finishes cooking.

Aka I have been hoping for a raid boss style glyphid queen mission. Aka constant enemies as you push towards the queen's den for a final (proper) bossfight.

[distant glacier]

but I feel as though the sun is definitely setting for DRG but not yet, not by a long shot

[outer lodge]

I am feeling bad for the devs, seriously. Season 6 is confirmed wich means they still want to keep up with the game, I don't see what's all the fuzz about. They are going to slow down things to focus on a (really promissing) new game. Season 5 will take a while, and what? I don't play DRG because of the seasons, I play cause it's... DRG bro beer and dwarfs. Nothing's changed and a spinoff is coming out.

If any dev even reads this: You have done the right choice and I really respect your time, do what you do best. Dwarfs with funny guns.

And remember guys; a spinoff not DRG 2

[fringe maple]

yeah its too bad season five got pushed back but the screenshots of rogue core look really cool

[outer lodge]

Indeed

[pearl tinsel]

My one criticism is still no guarantee that the issues with season content will be addressed with season 5. Not necessarily the scope of content, but rather the way it is dolled out

[outer lodge]

S5 will probably have less of this type of content

Be more "neutral"

[pearl tinsel]

I would prefer things more like industrial sabotage, the septic spreader and stingtail, new overclocks, etc, that are added to the core game instead of things that are hamfisted literally everywhere for a few months and then nearly impossible to come across afterward

They've been focusing on this "event" style content which isn't really that fun and has very little presence in the game as a whole

Especially when you consider how much effort adding these season events and minibosses probably took

[outer lodge]

I'm pretty sure they are aware of that

[outer lodge]

Yeah I tried making a small godot game and hell it's hard

[high sedge]

how do you get into closed alpha

[outer lodge]

good question

[pearl tinsel]

They've been putting a lot of effort towards things the community hasn't really been enjoying that much and have very little presence after their seasons end

I'm still baffled that they haven't bothered adding more overclocks when guns and weapon upgrades are the thing the community is most obsessed with

[arctic igloo]

I second this. Where do i throw my contact for testing the alpha

[pearl tinsel]

I wasn't even aware there was a closed alpha yet, unless it's something you can sign up for through a public form, doubt most people will be able to apply to join it at all

[high sedge]

Q1 2024

[outer lodge]

chill we're still in 2023

[arctic igloo]

Then you remember q1 2024 is only 2 months away...

[pearl tinsel]

3

We're only 5 days into october

[arctic igloo]

Right

[outer lodge]

"Time flies when you spend it full time drinking beer"

[past moat]

Has there been anything said about the gameplay loop outside of it being a rogue-lite?

[arctic igloo]

For sure

[past moat]

Really hoping there's more presence in the building aspect of DRG, my favorite mission has to be oil refinery just for how interactive it is to lay out

Feels like you make the mission rather than just walking around from objective to objective and I feel like Rogue Core would be a great opportunity to take that concept and run with it

[arctic igloo]

Nothing yet. But im wsiting for the dev logs

*waiting

[shy cedar]

Harold

[jovial hawk]

So what is rogue core? The survival thing?

[pearl tinsel]

Yeah harold kinda sucks

[sick sierra]

Did anyone else catch the GTFO sound sample in the trailer?

[slender oriole]

I skip Harold when possible, unironically. Just annoying.

[pearl tinsel]

It's a different spinoff. Rogue core is a coop fps game like drg, but it's a roguelite more like risk of rain. There's no classes, everybody starts out with a pistol and a pickaxe

[sick sierra]

Risk of Rock, if you will :)

[slender oriole]

I keep thinking Hades when I think of Rougelite.

[jovial hawk]

….ugh.

[pearl tinsel]

There's like a million different kinds of roguelites

[jovial hawk]

Well, this sucks.

[broken flame]

Like Peglin

[old swift]

fully destructible caves and procedural caves just like drg

[pearl tinsel]

Yes

[old swift]

which is imo probably the selling point for me

[sick sierra]

Is it fair to assume this game is going to be a bit more lore heavy than regular DRG?

[pearl tinsel]

Im not surprised they wanted to make this tbh

DRG's cave system lends itself to a roguelite format

[jovial hawk]

Why wasn’t this a game mode? Because money or what?

[outer lodge]

My fear is, roguelites (Loop hero in my experience) tend to get stale after leveling up

[pearl tinsel]

Because just making it a drg game mode would be restrictive

[old swift]

it was planned as a deep dive-esque gamemode but too limited by other game systems, i believe

[outer lodge]

but this could be fixed with hazards I suppose???

[jovial hawk]

Is this title going to warrant a whole new game?

[pearl tinsel]

Presumably yes

[sick sierra]

^ Both Risk of Rain games also have some randomly generated stuff per stage and that makes them a lot of fun too, so I'm excited to see a mesh between DRG and RoR

[slender oriole]

We'll see

[jovial hawk]

From the last couple of seasons I really hope they’ve learned from it

[broken flame]

We won't really know until it arrives

[sick sierra]

I assume the gameplay itself is going to be considerably different enough to warrant being a seperate game

[pearl tinsel]

There's other games like this on the market already, but DRG has an edge with its procedural terrain system. It's also reusing many of the weapons and such from DRG itself

[jovial hawk]

I’ll give it a chance but my little friend group and I are just super disappointed by this roadmap.

[old swift]

i do hope the game has many more difficulty options than vanilla drg

[broken flame]

I'm also like 80% positive they'll add throwables from the board game to RC

[pearl tinsel]

However there's no classes and I heard there wasn't as of yet going to be traversal tools

[old swift]

i think the traversal tools are randomly found, just like weapons

[sick sierra]

Traversal stuff might be upgrades

[pearl tinsel]

I keep hearing about those but what all grenades was new in the board game?

[old swift]

from the roadmap there's also events, objectives

[pearl tinsel]

I do think it's kind of weird that there wouldn't be classes

... hell, Hades II comes out next year (Early Access is next summer)... and as much as I love GSG, my money's on Supergiant Games on this one.

[sick sierra]

Hehehe hell

[wet tulip]

I thought Hades 2 was already out

There's 1 grenade that carves a hole in a normal straight line, like an insta drill. I'd love to see that

[pearl tinsel]

That's neat

I just now heard about rogue core can somebody please tell me what the difference is between that and DRG?

[sick sierra]

So it's like the scarab bombs in terraria?

[jaunty sparrow]

horror game drg

[pearl tinsel]

Rogue core only going to be in early access in late 2024

[sick sierra]

Completely different gameplay

[wet tulip]

Rogue Core is a spin-off that would be formatted like a roguelite, rather than what DRG currently is

[broken flame]

Yea!

Sorry for the late reply.

Alright, fair enough. I definitely misconstrued what they were trying to say and I rescind my point. That's my bad. 🙇‍♂️

In your opinion, do you think players, especially those that treat DRG as their "main game", or those that aren't interested with the roguelite genre in general, shouldn't be complaining that the content for DRG will be fewer and far between considering that the devs are now putting most of their time and focus on DRG:RC?

[broken flame]

Don't forget the pinned msgs!

[languid flower]

That’s weird I hope there’s screenshots soon

[pearl tinsel]

There is already

[broken flame]

Steam page is up for it

[pearl tinsel]

It looks more grim and sinister than drg was

[slender oriole]

Yea. They're gonna come out relatively close to each other

[pearl tinsel]

The biomes they showed looked more threatening and alien

[languid flower]

Oh those photos looked similar to drg

[slender oriole]

It's supposed to be from the core

Cus the core revolted
