rogue-core-chat

[fresh canyon]

Real

[burnt flume]

Rogue me like a core

[fierce solstice]

Me giving samy some sweet words, 2023, colorized

[river citrus]

Dw that’s not relevant

You won’t need it

[leaden kindle]

dumb question but is anything from DRG carrying over? or are we playing as completely new dwarves in a new rig?

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

[sharp salmon]

"Say the line doot" :)

[tall plume]

😂

[frigid path]

Days since someone discovered this channel and made Pounce say his line: 0

[hollow palm]

Could be worse. You could be moderating silksong-discussion

[shut tartan]

lmao

hollow knight fans hitting refresh on their google search page "silksong news" and it's exactly the same

[tall plume]

we don't talk about that

[short flare]

Rogue core good

[velvet marsh]

no, rogue core bad

that's why we gotta unrogue it

[shut tartan]

governed core

[bitter cloud]

did we joke about paladin core already?

[tall plume]

now, yes

[elder rapids]

i wonder if we could make suggestions for real life guns for the devs to take more inspiration from

[tall plume]

#rogue-core-suggestions knock yourself out

[hollow palm]

Space guns are so cool though

You see the secondary concept art

[elder rapids]

yeah they are, it's just to take inspiration from y'know?

[young perch]

kinda like the m1000?

[elder rapids]

YEEEE

THE FUTURE PING STICK

[young perch]

yeah I love any kind of futurized gun design

[elder rapids]

that's why if you check in the rogue core suggestions i recommend the famous G11 to futurize

it's a really neat gun, that was WAYYYY to over-engineered for it's own good

[young perch]

oooh yeah that'd make an awesome weapon

[elder rapids]

i wondeer how'd you do the burst and recoil tho

because it's whole thing was the gun fired the 3 rounds off before the recoil even hit the shooter

another gun i'd like them to futurize would be the thompson

i wonder if it's ok to nerd out about guns like this is both DRG chat and here and suggestions, uhhhh. mods, devs, whichever's looking really can you let us know if it's ok?

[alpine dagger]

hey guys its me from the future

im palying rogue core rn

its pretty good ngl

[unkempt lance]

there’s already a rogue core suggestion but we don’t know what it’s about? lol

[pulsar chasm]

I am also playing from the future

i think it was a very bold creative decision to make an entire game dedicated to rockpox

[tall plume]

I'm from the future too !
The rockpox glyphid queen where you have to rescue Karl is a great finale I think.

Perfect way to end Rogue Core to tie up with the DRG movie.

[umbral coral]

7 seasons and a movie?

[pulsar chasm]

im looking forward to the rockpox expanded universe

[maiden fog]

It'd be nice to explore the biological standards of hoxxes

[tall plume]

the rockpox dating sim looks fire

[pulsar chasm]

nothing more alluring than being covered with rockpox boils

[maiden fog]

you do realize that rockpox did not originate from hoxxes?

[pulsar chasm]

nah but its here to stay now

[maiden fog]

not unless DRG gets rid of it

[pulsar chasm]

deep drg drilling has let it into the core

[maiden fog]

crap

[pulsar chasm]

it IS hoxxes now

[frigid path]

Lloyd has a 100% pick rate

[maiden fog]

It'd be nice if they explored the dreadnoughts and what they look like after their metamorphosis

[pulsar chasm]

im curious if they finally decide to do fully grown dreadnoughts how big they will be

i think they said detonator is upper limits in terms of size

caves impose restrictions on glyphid size

[old swift]

bulks are already quite large

and there's of course mods to simply scale up enemy sizes like a theoretical dread

[pulsar chasm]

I think in a recent dev stream that they said there were not likely going to be bugs larger than bulks

it may have been the most recent one

[tall plume]

moving bugs*

the caretaker is bigger than a bulk after all

[pulsar chasm]

well its stationary

the reason was due to their movement

[tall plume]

yeah that's what I'm saying

[pulsar chasm]

which is what i was going to suggest

that a large dreadnought might be a stationary boss

[idle bison]

i hope the space rig blows up

[maiden fog]

"It seems that the space rig has exploded, and requires maintenance. Hang tight boys we'll get it up and running in a jiffy, in the meantime do your job." - Mission Control

[south python]

I hope they just send 100 Bosco units to repair the space station

[slender oriole]

Ez as

[shut tartan]

the brood nexus was robbed tbh
just because the naedocyte breeder got a rockpox variant it's the most desirable thing in the dating sim
poor brood nexus

[pure vessel]

It's because of a pathfinder limitation

at some point they become too large for everything to look and work nicely.

[pulsar chasm]

understood

[fierce solstice]

Now that i think about it, are there plans for a rank system like in DRG ?

[pulsar chasm]

also how much money do i have to pay yall to make mission control tantrum lines for the goo sack

[fierce solstice]

or is it purely levels ?

[pure vessel]

No, we're just focusing on the core gameplay right now. Never say never though.

[fierce solstice]

Okey

plans for OCs by any chance ?

[broken flame]

I hope that grapple idea gets added, was pretty cool. Grabbing enemies then slinging or shooting them at other enemies

[fierce solstice]

Get over here vibes

[hollow palm]

Gun progression doesn’t work in the same way - as our build is created throughout the run. Having OCs for replaceable starter weapons would be weird

[fierce solstice]

Not as replaçable weapons

I mean it as some kind of "unique" items

Or similarly to the lunar shop in ror, so something along the line of a camp mid run to resupply or to buy/"craft" OCs

[hollow palm]

OCs are an extra layer on the modification system. RC will have build generated throughout a run rather than at the start.

Putting them in the middle might be a way to implement risk/reward options

[fierce solstice]

That's merely an example

You can imagine it being part of any loot pool but much rarer

[hollow palm]

What you’re describing is weapon specific ways to alter specific weapon functionalities.

[fierce solstice]

Don't we choose the weapon in the beginning tho ?

[hollow palm]

We choose one starter weapon

We find weapons through the run and choose what to use

As well as choose upgrades for our player characters and gear

[fierce solstice]

So they don't want to make any kind of "exclusive" item depending on each weapon

rather more generalistic items that'd work on anything

[hollow palm]

I’m sure different weapons will benefit more and less from certain upgrades

[fierce solstice]

Yeah that's a given

[hollow palm]

Some may be illegible for certain upgrades or have their own loot pools

But overclocks would likely be implemented as “gain x but lose y” choices

[fierce solstice]

That could be restricted to clean OCs

[hollow palm]

Rather than weapon specific stuff like plasma missiles, AG mix,

[fierce solstice]

with a greater bonus

[hollow palm]

Ordinary buffs that take up a slot.

You’re describing a rename for a very new system

Cleans don’t make sense in RCs context, balanced OCs and maybe some unstables do.

But overclocks would have to emerge from a design process, rather than be shoved in for the sake of having overclocks

[fierce solstice]

Maybe i should have said "overclock-like items" rather than overclocks

[hollow palm]

Hence why I expect an OC system to be generally applicable to many weapons, and to be an optional risk/reward choice

Think lunar items from risk of rain

[fierce solstice]

lunar items were that

[hollow palm]

Yeah but a risk/reward system wouldn’t and shouldn’t apply to just guns

[fierce solstice]

Yeah i get what you mean

[hollow palm]

No, cause you were thinking of the cool and fancy overclocks, rather than the roguelike gameplay loop

[fierce solstice]

Actually i just wanted special powder on all weapons

[elder rapids]

seems to be something more for the combat focused rogue core than main DRG

[elder rapids]

special powder on minigun, achieve jetpack

[burnt flume]

Special Powder autocannon OC when?

[pure vessel]

Big enemies will look weird regardless of the game, unless it's completely overhauld for Rogue Core

[hollow palm]

Y’all nailed bulk bulkiness anyways.

Maybe something larger could abuse trawler mechanics. Go full Dune sandworm

If rogue core has stage based progression, specific stages could have guaranteed bossroom spawns. You could build an arena for a boss, rather than a boss that’s fair in every arena

Though there has been mixed reception to the caretaker and omeran

[hollow wolf]

That's not entirely because of their being a set arena. Ommoran has the bedrock that basically makes you unable to terraform the room, and the caretaker is an inert stationary

if there was a set boss room but it was interactive and/or the boss was mechanically satisfying to fight and not just a big stationary/slow thing, it could be good

The caretaker fight improved by making the cave gen affect the room more

[tall plume]

mixed reception comes from the overall duration of the mission, difficulty of it and repetitiveness.

People seems to prefer fights with a moving enemy, it looks like.

[hollow wolf]

Also ommoran has no variation

it's always the same types of events per 25% hp

[tall plume]

yeah I include that in repetitiveness

at least the caretaker can mix his moves around

[hollow wolf]

yeah, sorry! i was continuing my rant, that wasn't me correcting you

[tall plume]

oh my bad lol

[hollow palm]

That’s what I mean. Boss stages would be awesome, but lose replayability fast

Any roguelike with bossfights tries to amend this in some way

Hades has 2-4 boss variants and several different starting weapons+modifiers. Risk of rain has classes and alternative final stages.

RC can totally implement bossfights, what i was putting up for discussion is how the team potential handles the drawbacks

[pearl tinsel]

Dead Cells doing fuck all for boss fights

[hollow palm]

It’s the weapon variety and pathfinding choice in bossfight that carries it but yep

[native bramble]

maybe have it so you can save karl?

[bright needle]

I think the big thing is that other missions’ pace is much easier to control

You can go through a mining or egg mission as quickly or as slowly as you like

With escort the only time you have to do that is refueling

[brittle agate]

so rogue core has its own chat but where's the chat for survivor

i am blind

never mind

and never mind that, it's under info

[hollow wolf]

survivor has its own discord server

since it's made by a different dev team

[pearl tinsel]

Seems a little odd to me but fair enough

[tall plume]

we're not going to have chats for all the published games, with 5 different dev team 😄

There's already so many chats and roles

[sleek swallow]

also

#rogue-core-chat message

[marsh minnow]

Wait, didn't they say the stages are only 5 minutes in length? (25 minutes to complete all 5)

How does this work? Is it just a timer?

[tall plume]

we don't have details

[marsh minnow]

Oh

I was hoping that there would be a soft timer rather than a hard timer, with a super strong wave or boss appearing if you didn't GTFO

[sleek swallow]

yeah but I do (not actually have any details and this is entirely speculation that is entirely outdated and has only one data point to go off of that can very well be irrelevant because it could've just been testing stuff and the timer ran so do not take any of what I after this message seriously)

stalking the devs one time I saw that one of them (mark) was played until stage 5 and the screenshot I have has 53 minutes on the timer

[grand acorn]

I have details

Paypal me one gorillion dollers

[marsh minnow]

Ok

[sleek swallow]

I already said the details

[marsh minnow]

What's ur paypal

[sleek swallow]

your details are worthless

[marsh minnow]

Aw

Ok

[grand acorn]

Mine are more detailed

[marsh minnow]

I like the idea of a ramping wave as a soft timer

Like

[sleek swallow]

was that a GTFO reference

[marsh minnow]

The glyphids arrive en-masse and will not stop spawning after a period of time

[marsh minnow]

No, gtfo just means get the f out

[marsh minnow]

This wave can get stronger and stronger over time too, like the flag in PVZ: GW2

[sleek swallow]

well yeah I know, that's just what the game is called and I found it funny

because drgrc heading in a darker path makes it resemble gtfo in a way

besides the roguelike elements

[marsh minnow]

I hope we can see dwarf corpses

Not in a weird way

Just to make this whole over run thing hit that much harder

Leave no dwarf behind, right? We can't leave them behind either

[sleek swallow]

wait so you're telling me a dwarven corpse isn't made of minerals and doesn't leave behind a random cosmetic?

[marsh minnow]

Yeah

We aren't lootbugs :

[sleek swallow]

clearly you haven't heard of the lootbug conspiracy

[white bridge]

something like a armor scathered like we already find in drg?

[delicate kestrel]

my core is rogue

[balmy sky]

Elaborate

[sleek swallow]

this is probably more fitting for #drg-chat

[desert laurel]

I hope there's shotguns in Rogue core!

[median sleet]

Any ideas for companion style unlocks? Steeve/ lootbug...

[median sleet]

There will definitly be shotguns

[tall plume]

I'd say the chances are high

[tall plume]

I hope not

[median sleet]

At least 43%

[tall plume]

I'm here to kill even more bugs

[desert laurel]

Yay shotgun!

But lootbug!!

Lootbug coot

[median sleet]

But my pet detonator

[median sleet]

Bosco

Or another robot companion if bosco is reserved for solo

Let me bring Lloyd who gives random buffs

[tall plume]

there'll be a processor drone always around apparently

[median sleet]

Oh I assumed it would only be at the end of levels.

I wonder if it will be able to fight back or just be Molly 2.0

[umbral coral]

Btw what is the purpose of this chat if the game isn’t close to being out yet

[tall plume]

because we knew people would inevitably talk about the game regardless of it being out or not.

besides it gives us a place to pin info for it.

[median sleet]

Pins? What's that?

[wary tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/pins-gif-20404399

funny gif go haha

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/squint-squinting-suspicious-sus-rigby-gif-20283103

[frigid path]

If only there was a pinned message that told me where to find the pinned messages and what they are

[pearl tinsel]

I want more shotguns

Devs seem keen on adding a larger variety of weapons for rogue core specifically so I wouldn't be worried about more variety in the weapon types we already have

[fresh jetty]

shotgun only run

unironically want this now

[velvet marsh]

have an upgrade that increases the number of pellets your shotgun shoots, pair that with the legendary that makes your projectiles bounce off terrain and into enemies, bob's your uncle

[hidden hornet]

Sounds like it would be a lagfest if you have too many pellets and they all bounce off terrain

[velvet marsh]

I know isn't it great

flashbacks to RoR2 multihour god runs

[vivid aspen]

Will it be on switch

[lilac crypt]

the dwarves watching in terror as they defeat a swarm and the boss rush wave starts

[faint aspen]

Makes me wonder how they're gonna handle scaling now that i think about it

[rustic echo]

i woner if there will be a season 6 after rogue core. cuz they said season 5 is a prelude right? what baout season 6. i just started the game and i dont want to to immediatly be ded

[rocky dove]

there are future seasons planned

[compact shard]

Rogue core was a season idea that the devs felt would be better as its own game. They still plan on developing the first game, rogue core is their new passion project

[daring cape]

So it releases June or something?

Or is that the prelude season

[hollow palm]

Season 5 of drg will release within a week of early access to rogue core

It will be themed around RCs events

[daring cape]

Nice

Lot of content to play through

[hollow palm]

mhm. Will be worth the extra wait time

[icy vapor]

Season 5 is slated for June 2024; Rogue Core Early Access is slated for November 2024.
https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//27142043/2bbcdbd980c29d761633bdfd94776ceec63d5dde.jpg

[hollow palm]

Oh darn

Dunno where I heard that then

[icy vapor]

No worries, just trying to make sure we're all on the same page with the information we actually do have.

[hollow palm]

ye I saw S5 and RC overlapping and assumed

That’s pretty funky, s5 themed on RC before playable RC. Though I guess we’re gonna get dev updates

[verbal wigeon]

Will rogue core finnaly introduce female dwarves into the Deep Rock Galactic universe? Asking for my wife

[rough zephyr]

would be neat if there was a shotgun that reduced the spread if you held down the trigger (like the engi shotgun + the scout's focus shot)

[vivid aspen]

Shotgun jump better be in this

[next crater]

Not season - expansion.

[elder rapids]

so what you're telling me is expansions in the future are still possible?

[tall plume]

we don't know

[torn drum]

what will it be processing

[celest viper]

Rogue lootbug when

[burnt flume]

If rogue core has dual flamethrower, im buying it instantly when it comes to early acces

[burnt flume]

Rogue bulks when

[celest viper]

Cost: your both kidneys

[celest viper]

[burnt flume]

Dont care, proly gonna sell even my liver for it.

[celest viper]

Gigadwarf

[compact shard]

Potato potato

[narrow lodge]

hype

[rustic echo]

Thats good. I really hope rogue core can work beside deep rock as a sort of spin-off and not leave deep rock classic only have seasonal events. That would suck

[compact shard]

I wouldn't mind, as personally I love DRG for what it is. But I can understand where other people are coming from when they say they would be disappointed if development on DRG ceased as a result of rogue core

[tall plume]

the devs have covered that multiple time already. Check the pinned messages.

[median sleet]

Devs confirm deep rock galactic is dead
more at 6

[velvet marsh]

Can't wait for gsgs next game, DRG Tame Core
A pet game where you take care of your very own planet core, feeding it, taking it on walks and doing cute little minigames with it

[median sleet]

Why did they delete the gif, I was joking 🥲

I am sorry Anders 😭

[limber latch]

Calling it: Rogue Core will become big and bring in the toxic crowd

[carmine zenith]

Why would you bother calling that when drg already made it big and attracted the toxic crowd

[limber latch]

All the obnoxious types

[limber latch]

Drg ain't toxic

This totally will

[carmine zenith]

The game has done wildly better than the developers ever expected, and we've had an increase in toxicity for years

[carmine zenith]

Oh you sweet summer child

[frigid path]

the price of popularity

😔

[tall plume]

clearly, you haven't been in the right part of the community then 😂
there's a lot of toxicity already around

We do try to keep things clean in here so i guess we're doing a good enough job.

[limber latch]

Considering the rogue-like aspect, you know people gonna be blaming each other for deaths

[limber latch]

Well met some but not many

[velvet marsh]

The internet will be toxic no matter what, I suppose the thing that matters most is the in-game toxicity, and in that I believe drg still has other game communities beat by a landslide

In over 1000 hours I can count all the bad experiences I've had in one hand

If the co-op centric game design continues to be of the same quality, I've no reason to believe rogue core would be any different yet

[mighty sun]

I mean I've gotten tilted when the engi refuses to listen to me on how to platform for an OMEN but that's really it. I haven't met anyone that's deliberately tried to ruin my experience.

[tall plume]

the community doesn't just cover the ingame part of it

[frigid path]

glances at the steam forums

[icy vapor]

Those who can't play, teach; those who can't teach, bitch. It's the circle of life.

[fresh jetty]

I mean that's just the steam forums in general

the steam forums for hello kitty magic island adventures are toxic

[tall plume]

You don't even need to go that far

[median sleet]

Yeah, just go to your local septic spreader

[pearl tinsel]

Definitely doesn't happen already or anything

[sharp salmon]

Are you guys excited for Rogue Core?

[tall plume]

yes !
plz gib test build

huh

[sharp salmon]

Hm?

[tall plume]

someone deleted their messages, and I don't know why so I'm just wondering 😄

[fresh jetty]

I am very excited for rogue core. every moment I wait feels like an eternity. I've faded away into a withered husk just writing this sentence

[velvet marsh]

Can't wait

But also can wait, you guys take as much time as you need to make what you wanna make

[carmine zenith]

Um ackshually, it's spelled Rouge Cord 🤓

[sharp salmon]

Be careful or we'll unrogue the core.

[fresh jetty]

wait I thought that's what we're supposed to do

[carmine zenith]

Isn't that the point of the game thohgh

[sleek swallow]

the sequel to rogue core is core

[sharp salmon]

Damnit, my joke backfired.

[sleek swallow]

where the core got unrogued

elric you can play it off as answering questions about what you get to do in the game

then no joke backfired

[fresh jetty]

do you fire guns in the game?

||wasting the question on something obvious 😈 ||

[carmine zenith]

What if the core was just a giant gacha machine

Spitting out glyphids in little capsules

[sleek swallow]

stop it

no

[carmine zenith]

And upgrades too

[sleek swallow]

the sequel will not be a gacha game

[carmine zenith]

What if we added loot barrels that cost 9.95 to unlock?

[median sleet]

Are you?

[sleek swallow]

tater that's why you're not a dev

[carmine zenith]

They hated him, for his ideas were too good 😔

[median sleet]

Tater did you happen to change my name just now?

[sleek swallow]

I'll give you some credit

capsule glyphids and loot barrels sound cool

[carmine zenith]

?

[sleek swallow]

wow that's some next level framing going on here

[median sleet]

I can't be going insane

[sleek swallow]

pounce did you time that intentionally

[tall plume]

Nope, wasn't me

[broken frigate]

Beer gacha for perm boost to a random stat

[median sleet]

I am being gaslit by every mod

[sleek swallow]

damn now we'll never know the culprit

[carmine zenith]

What if there are gnomes in the core, tinkering away at upgrades

[tall plume]

Gnomed Core

Ungnome the core

[sleek swallow]

so the gnomes made the core go rogue

[median sleet]

I ate the core

I was hungry

[carmine zenith]

I think they should make the dwarves for rogue core all female to balance things out

[tall plume]

Wrong, the core is a lie

[sleek swallow]

cue end credits

[median sleet]

Then what did I eat?

[carmine zenith]

What if the core is a big jawbreaker

[sleek swallow]

ow

[tall plume]

Isn't that just ommoran heartstones ?

So it's a very big one ?

[sleek swallow]

it got a mother

[torpid magnet]

Hey guy, I'm sure it's been asked before... but why is the Rouge Core not just a new mode in the main DRG game?Sounds like it has mostly the same gameplay as DRG: "4-person co-op FPS in procedural destructible caves"

[carmine zenith]

Nah, that's just rock candy made to look like a jawbreaker

[tall plume]

the mother ommoran

[sleek swallow]

pinned messages

because yeah

its been asked before

[carmine zenith]

What if the terrain wasn't destructible

But your character was

[tall plume]

Rock Golem PC

let's gooo

[carmine zenith]

And you had to get upgrades to replace lost limbs/broken parts

Eventually becoming a cyborg

[median sleet]

What if you are the lootbug

[carmine zenith]

Loot bug mech pilot

[sleek swallow]

lootbugs are reclaimers who lost all their limbs?

[median sleet]

And your goal is to consume the core

[tall plume]

Armored Rogue Core

[sleek swallow]

the lore is getting too deep now

[median sleet]

We've almost reached the core

The rogue core

[sleek swallow]

seems like the chat drank smart stout

[carmine zenith]

What if rogue core has a secret dog ending from silent hill but it's loot bug

[fresh jetty]

my request: when you beat the game can the dwarves say "I guess that really was a rogue core!" cue sitcom music

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/silent-hill-doggo-dog-video-game-vibing-gif-17761764

[sleek swallow]

lootbug with headphones

[median sleet]

"Damn guys I really hate this core why did it have to go rogue?"

silence

"He's right behind me isn't he?"

[fresh jetty]

everywhere you look starts playing

[sleek swallow]

this is when all of them suddenly went dark

[median sleet]

core explodes but the dwarves escaped at the last second

"Well, that just happened!"

[sleek swallow]

we should've really had this all in the trailer

[fresh jetty]

dwarf passes out and farts

"Ummm... Awkward!"

[median sleet]

They should sell the DRG rights to Marvel

[carmine zenith]

What if the team was all theatre majors and broke into musical numbers spontaneously

[fresh jetty]

back on topic, I think I mentioned this before but this game is the perfect oppertunity to reintroduce veteran grunts

[tall plume]

We have veteran grunts, they're called guards and slashers

[fresh jetty]

I know they were essentially just rpg late game enemy recolours but I love them

[carmine zenith]

When will we be able to have q'ronar beyblade battles in the hub

[fresh jetty]

It could be an easy way to make the later stages harder by essentially rank up all the enemies

veteran praetorians

[median sleet]

What if the core was the friends we made along the way?

[median sleet]

They could also make them scale over time like RoR2 does

[fresh jetty]

yeah but I miss them :(

the black exoskeletons looked really cool and would fit in well with the darker theming of deep core

[tall plume]

it wasn't darker in that way

[fresh jetty]

the new biomes have darker colour pallets from what we've seen

[median sleet]

They only showed 1 new biome right?

[fresh jetty]

some of the others looked new, it's kinda hard to tell though

I think we only saw magma zone

at least that's the only one I could recognize immediatly

[median sleet]

REZ too right?

[fresh jetty]

right, yeah

[tall plume]

yeah

[fresh jetty]

granted, we saw next to no biome exclusive hazards or structures so it's hard to tell. makes most of the screenshots pretty interchangeable with any biome

(which makes sense bc it's probably all very early stage stuff reusing existing assets)

[median sleet]

I assume the missions are gonna be in 2 biomes. 4 stages of an existing DRG biome and 1 stage of a new biome closer to the core

[fresh jetty]

tbh I am a little sad that apparently it's only 4 stages

[carmine zenith]

I hope the core is mechanical and ever changing like in spiral knights

[fresh jetty]

I want 12 stages back to back, you have to play for 4 hours minimum if you want to complete a run

[median sleet]

They might add longer runs or something similair

Game is still being developped so you never know

[tall plume]

maybe a loop system

who knows

[fresh jetty]

my time travel idea....

[velvet marsh]

You gotta add a loop system in a roguelite, sooner or later right

[tall plume]

[velvet marsh]

Only big one I can think of that doesn't loop and isnt endless is hades

[median sleet]

*add?

[fresh jetty]

that or an endless mode. might be hard to explain in universe here though lol

[velvet marsh]

Thanks lmao

[sleek swallow]

with like a teleporter that you change from teleporting you to a moon and instead teleports you back to the beginning

you know?

[median sleet]

Can't wait to obliterate myself at the core

My name got longer

[fresh jetty]

oh yeah another hope is that they bring back the implied forerunners on hoxxes

with the error cubes name in the files being "forerunner artifact" or something to that effect

I want to beleive

[sleek swallow]

the mining operations all went dark because everyone just obliterated themselves

[fresh jetty]

in ancient aliens that lived on hoxxes millions of years ago

[sleek swallow]

everyone who tried to enter the dig sites just obliterated themselves too that's why all the attempts failed

[calm yoke]

Isn't it 5?

[tall plume]

yeah

[lost juniper]

What error cube does to a mf

[last furnace]

Reclaimers show up and the original mining crew are blackout drunk and hallucinating after accidentally making a beer with one of the new mushrooms they found

[velvet marsh]

That's why the core is going rogue, it's drunk!

[last furnace]

I can't wait to get in on this. I absolutely love the design philosophy of the GSG team, I can't wait to see what RC turns into. I'm hoping to playtest the heck out of it if there's an open beta 😄

[young perch]

yeah.. accidentally for sure...

[bleak fable]

The beer was on purpose, the hallucinations and blacking out were also on purpose

[celest viper]

can I choose difficulty in this game as well

[fiery oracle]

is the early acess out already?

[sleek swallow]

no

read the pinned messages

the roadmap is there

alongside a lot more information

[fiery oracle]

kk

thanks

[celest viper]

I saw devs playing it

let me iiinnnn

LET MEEE IINNNN

[fiery oracle]

they devs tho

[sleek swallow]

yes

[fiery oracle]

hack devs pc /jk

[sleek swallow]

yes, but if those are done as a selection (like in DRG) or just through having runs of varying difficulty across the whole spectrum is still uncertain.

[celest viper]

calling hacking pod!

[sleek swallow]

was said about difficulties

[celest viper]

did they also mentioned what kind of difficulty there might be?

[sleek swallow]

refer to this again

[celest viper]

ah it's uncertain yet

[broken flame]

Harder than DRG due to the ability of becoming stronk

[marble seal]

i think Karl is down there gonna find him 😋

[ebon ravine]

i guess one thing is you won't really be able to do multiplayer unless you can sit down long enough for a full run, unlike DRG where you can easily do a quick mission if you only have a bit of time and dropping in/out isn't as much of an issue

[sleek swallow]

I did ask whether or not we'd have a save system or a way to pause the game in case someone needed to take a break or go do something etc etc

you get a screen between each stage that requires a button press to continue (like deep dives) so that is a good place to take a break. We may descided to try to add more. Not sure a bout a save...

I can see us allowing a setting where the host can pause (this would need to be communicated on the server list, so you know what you are getting into)

also someone else was asking regarding dropping in/out and that it isn't something that might work, this was mentioned

correct, the team is locked at the start of the run. member can rejoin if they crash out or something but no new members can join.

[last furnace]

I suppose that makes sense, but it'd be nice to have some kind of leeway; waiting for a lobby to fill can be tedious for some. Maybe if they let players join during stage 1, and lock-in the team at the transition to stage 2?

[hollow wolf]

Honestly they could maybe just leave it up to the host

The same way we have a setting for late join class dupes in DRG

But maybe they don't wanna try to figure out how to determine what a latejoiner gets in powerups if you join like 3 stages in

[last furnace]

Come to think of it, a multiplayer rogue-like sounds like an opportunity for some wild synergies within a team. One dwarf fires a net that tethers a bunch of glyphids, another electrocutes the net, and a third uses a gravity gun to yeet the works of them off a cliff

[last furnace]

I presume this is a major factor, balance would be incredibly difficult. You would also run the risk of players joining later in missions looking for full payout for partial missions.

[regal surge]

the core is indeed rogue

[crystal sleet]

will it be for Xbox too?

[hollow wolf]

They haven't considered consoles at this point. Too early in development

[vivid aspen]

If they eventually add to console it better be on switch

[hollow wolf]

I hope they put it on the Sega Game Gear

[vivid aspen]

Hope it's on atari jaguar

[tardy peak]

commodore 64

[old swift]

calculator might be more likely

[pearl tinsel]

Would probably run better too

[old swift]

so true...

[cyan dagger]

imagine, a core going rogue

[balmy sky]

No fucking way

[wet tulip]

No wayying fuck

[celest viper]

It's joever

[shut tartan]

it's roguer

[limpid elbow]

So so roguer

[iron knoll]

All upgrades have to be agreed upon in a party.

Meaning if you join late, you will inherret the rest of the buffs that the party has all at once.

[median sleet]

I don't think you can join late

[rare quarry]

This was the initial intention, but it having to fit the game loop in with DRG's continuously held us back and got in our way. Having it be stand alone lets us go ahead with our ideas and designs without being shackled to DRG. If it was a part of DRG it would have had to be very toned and not as fresh as Rogue Core is shaping up to be

[steel cave]

can i play drg core yet?

[hollow wolf]

No

[steel cave]

do we have demo?

[dusty gulch]

No

[simple cloak]

I’m playing the early access of rogue core in my head

[rare quarry]

Don't bother, the psychic early access release still has some bugs relating to networking that I can't seem to fix. My mind is not vast enough to untangle the metaphysical errors

[dusty gulch]

The real question is will there be steeve

[hollow wolf]

Steeve is the final boss

[cedar kelp]

this core is gonna rough us up

[median sleet]

Pretty insane you guys added everything I could imagine to the psychic release. My hardware is fairly weak though so I am stuck at low graphics settings

[rare quarry]

Your mind is a muscle, and can be trained. You just need to regularly visualize time and great expanses and then ply it to your will

Reality is subjective and exists in your mind, after all

[cedar kelp]

what machine at the gym trains the mind?

and don't come at me with the books thing doesn't matter what I do with them I don't feel progress

[rare quarry]

lol obviously barbells bro

[dusty gulch]

Or just buy a new one

[rare quarry]

Excessive consumerism is bad for the environment.

[cedar kelp]

buy trees with each mind

[dusty gulch]

Small cost to play the psychic version of rouge core

[median sleet]

Just picked up a barbell by visualizing it, thanks so much

[vagrant gate]

ooh i like the ide aof new guns

i wanna see the arts

someone document them

[pure vessel]

Unless?

[calm yoke]

No

[pure vessel]

:^(

[cedar kelp]

what if we buy a bunch of trees and solar panels?

[pure vessel]

:^)

[cedar kelp]

no but you don't, as a matter of fact you are now the most important whale in the NFT world

[celest viper]

Will lootbugs fight us back?

[velvet marsh]

On a scale of 1 to 7, how rogue is the core, really?

[dusty gulch]

8

[velvet marsh]

That's preposterous, it's off the charts!

[cedar kelp]

make bigger charts next time

[dusty gulch]

This guy gets it

[calm yoke]

Not enough c4

[velvet marsh]

You can definitely get to 4 on that chart

[calm yoke]

We need more than that

[velvet marsh]

You can go to 5 then!

I'm sure the cores rogueness is at least a 5, but 8 is just ridiculous as it doesn't fit into the chart

[last furnace]

I keep hearing rogue this and rogue that, but what about barbarian core? Or wizard core? 😛

[dark vault]

[insert funny joke about rogue crust]

[last furnace]

Season 2: Rogue Mantle

[left elk]

Any chance DRG is gonna get some of the guns from RC?

[cedar kelp]

I wouldn't bet on it, but chances are

[calm yoke]

More likely for RC to use DRG weapons

[celest viper]

Is there in rogue core

I can't live without it

[pearl tinsel]

It's possible, but devs don't really seem keen on adding more weapons to drg since it's a lot of work to add guns for each class

[charred mason]

I was said that they won't add new weapons in ss5 + 6

[fierce solstice]

very likely

And the game doesn't need new weapons for now

[cedar kelp]

following the update route they've followed the last years, there will be around a year or two until new guns drop

[pearl tinsel]

Even then it's unlikely. They said we might not even get new guns ever again

There's a lot of improvements they can be doing for the existing guns anyways

[cedar kelp]

meh I don't sweat about it, the amount of guns we have so far is beefy enough

[pearl tinsel]

Right

I'd like some new overclocks though

[torn drum]

Visited a scary ass witch in the woods and she looked into a crystal ball when I asked her about Rogue Core and the thing fuckin’ exploded I’m so scared

I think her little core went Rogue

[rich condor]

i want to see vodka in drg:rc

[pearl tinsel]

Dwarven moonshine

[tranquil talon]

So, just to clear deets. GSG is developing rogue core, and also S5 for DRG. When rogue core is out, are they gonna support that AND drg? Seems like a lot for the studio.

[pearl tinsel]

Correct. They said they're looking to expand tho

I believe they said they were currently in search of a larger office space to hold more people

[tranquil talon]

Nice!

[torn drum]

more projects mean more money and more ppl

[simple cloak]

= more quality content

[brazen cape]

any chance melee weapons are being added in Rogue Core

i'd kill for a sword

[fierce solstice]

Ah yes, Doom Core

[compact shard]

I'd check out the link in the announcements that looks like them talking about the design of weapons in rogue core. You might find your answer

[median sleet]

I think they said probably not on todays dev stream

but there might be some pickaxe upgrades

[burnt flume]

TIME TO SLAY SOME BUGS

[brazen cape]

the recent one? that one was just about pistols

[compact shard]

Ah, all I saw was concept art and rogue core

[brazen cape]

darn

thanks

[naive grove]

yes

[narrow harness]

rogue core better be the batshit insane version of DRG

[cedar kelp]

it will be a rogue-like version of DRG

[narrow harness]

no weird objectives, just shooting, slicing, or otherwise killing bugs with increasingly insane weaponry

EDF if it was actually good

[slender crown]

are there gonna be any other weapons in the game other then the pistol that will probably be torture to use in combat on its own?

[fierce solstice]

Who in their right minds would make a roguelite with a single weapon ?

[high skiff]

is early access up for playing or is it limited to certain people rn

or not up at all

[shut tartan]

it's gonna rouge us up so hard

[velvet marsh]

When game comes out imma go rogue and play it for like 9 hours straight

That's what a good roguelite does to ya

[bitter hound]

procedural upgrades 🤤

[velvet marsh]

God runs

[static warren]

overclocks that'll ridiculously upgrade your guns like in synthetik would be cool

[fierce solstice]

I think this one is asking for a generalization of minelayer & hellfire

[pearl tinsel]

No overclocks

[fierce solstice]

Don't you want fat boy & special powder on all weapons ?

[velvet marsh]

No no you see, there'll be an upgrade called "fat boy" which can be used on any weapon, instead of an overclock for a single weapon

All shall become fat boy

[soft parcel]

is early acess sometime in nov?

[velvet marsh]

Idk, lemme check the pins

[soft parcel]

yea i read that shit wrong its nov 2024 💀

[velvet marsh]

Aye, not surprising tho, game is in a really early alpha stage right now

[soft parcel]

yea fr LOL

do you just need to have it on ur wishlist to gain early acess?

[velvet marsh]

Well presumably for early access you'll have to buy it

[velvet marsh]

But before that for the closed alpha there's nothing set yet, they'll open it up and let us know how to get in when the time comes

[simple cloak]

iirc I saw something about a want for less competitive closed alpha entries being mentioned

[crystal dew]

hoping I can get in on the closed alpha lol

[raven wharf]

Everyone wants early access to a product, but no one wants to give the feedback necessary of having early access to a product. It’s work.

[void gate]

^

[wanton cove]

Is rogue core going to have new weapons and stuff?

[tall plume]

yes

[crystal dew]

I actually do try to give feedback, actually (I have several games on itch I'm doing this with)

[median sleet]

No Dystrum 0/10 now give me early access

[limpid elbow]

I dont remember the last time i had a mission with dystrum as a side objective

[forest rain]

i wonder what the gameplay is gonna be like

[hollow palm]

It’s like a 1/6 chance for any given refinery or PE mission

Or 1/7?

Oh no wait there are 8 secondary missions in the game total

And it’s 7 normally, cause most missions can’t have dystrum.

So yeah. 1/8 PE and refinery missions will have a dystrum secondary

[inner fiber]

I just realized why they called it rogue core

drg rogue core

drg rogue like

[woven river]

I thought it'd be a recovering things mission

so darker and stronger everything

[sleek swallow]

wait until you hear about why they called drgs as "survivor"

[hollow wolf]

It ties in with the TV show of the same name

[merry lynx]

i wonder why it's called drg the board game

[sleek swallow]

we'll never know where these names come from

it'll remain an unsolved mystery

[inner fiber]

I wonder why it’s called drg? What do these 3 letters mean? ||if you can’t tell THIS IS SARCASM||

[merry lynx]

i cannot wait for drg: barrel hoop ball, the sports spinoff

[inner fiber]

same man 😔

[hollow wolf]

DRG Dating Sim when

[carmine zenith]

You haven't played it yet? It's kind of a boring game, every storyline leads to scout kissing a c4

they call it the explosive ending but that feels like a stretch

not a lot of bang for your buck

[neon lance]

I came here for rogue puns

[carmine zenith]

Sorry but they've run off. Gone rogue, they have.

[neon lance]

Inconceivable! But maybe they left something behind. I need to go deeper

[forest rain]

Will rogue core be like a separate game?

Because on steam it is.

[sleek swallow]

read the pinned messages

[charred mason]

will this game turn to 18+ with gore tag ? that sound dark and badass enough

[atomic sequoia]

It would change the art direction too much so i doubt

[calm yoke]

*that you don't get paid for.

[median sleet]

Will they finally add the cigar?

[shut tartan]

you simply must watch all the let's game it out videos and then do everything he teaches you

[spring osprey]

Is rouge core the next big update or is it something diffrent?

[fresh jetty]

can't wait for a 10 minute long cutscene of my dwarf getting brutally torn apart every time I die

[tame pecan]

I hope not, I can stomach it I ain't queazy but gore stuff is unsettling and I tend to not enjoy games or movies with it

[velvet marsh]

Then cuts to the core mocking you like a batman arkham villain

[velvet marsh]

I doubt it, it might be a little more spooky in atmosphere but I highly doubt it would be so much different than DRG in its general vibe, certainly not enough to change the age rating

That's what I think at least

[tame pecan]

That's what I'm hoping for, a bit more intense, not exactly horror but maybe leaning in that direction. it will be exciting to see what the devs come up with when they are ready 👌

[final dagger]

It would be strange to have that much of a tonal shift from DRG. From what I've seen probably a little less whimsical but don't think it's gonna be real dark stuff
It's fine to have a goofy fun game

[pearl tinsel]

It's still gonna have rock and stoning so it's still gonna be kind of goofy

[final dagger]

If the bois in rogue core are meant to be the elite, guessing a slogan like rock and stone wouldn't fit, especially since not dedicated miners, what else could they say then

[hidden hornet]

Rogue and stone

Or rock and rogue

[final dagger]

Maybe Honor and stone? Elite squad so probably more tightly knit, and stone because still got pickaxes with em

[white bridge]

Crush & break?

[marsh arch]

IRON AND STEEL!!!

FOR THE WILL OF IRON!!!

[final dagger]

[pearl cedar]

Those regular miner dwarves, they really have a cozy job.

[last furnace]

I kinda hope that the Reclaimers have a lot of respect for the miners. Like "Damn, must be a real shitshow if the miners can't handle it" kinda energy

[white bridge]

Wish management give some proper gear to those miners, so we don't need to come here.

[velvet marsh]

how a dwarf can survive out here without a phase suit boggles my mind

[little sail]

maybe it'll be something like "HONOR THROUGH STEEL" or "FOR IRON AND STEEL"

just a thought

[white bridge]

I stepped in..., you know what i don't want to know, i feel bad for those miners

[velvet marsh]

Unkhar's balls! No wonder the miners drink so much

[white bridge]

or some flashbacks of previous missions
picking up a flamethrower
ooo this reminds me of Jarcus III, hope those bugs scream as nicely as those flesh eating plants

[little sail]

insert placeholder- wait a damn second

[white bridge]

HA the GK2, are we green beards?

[last furnace]

I really like this angle. "Couldn't pay me enough to go planetside without a phase suit, this place is nastier than <insert horrific simile here>"

[fresh jetty]

"Wait, you guys are getting phase suits?"

[shut tartan]

"this place is nastier than the dung pits in ironguard!"

[final dagger]

"The beer better be cold this time..."

[harsh lynx]

What if there are veins of other ores like morkite, nitra, gold etc that spawn, but mining it does nothing. Voiceline: "can't imagine mining this crap for a living"

[limpid elbow]

honestly i cant wait to hear how the reclaimers will speak compared to the regular dwarves

love the silly voicelines

[pearl tinsel]

I think they said they would still rock and stone though

[barren panther]

Where do I have to go to get into the closed alpha?

[last furnace]

Oof. I was just skimming the Q&A pinned in this channel hoping for more info, but it looks like it's mostly just people being whiny and entitled while that employee handles it like a champion.

[hollow wolf]

No info on it at all right now. It isn't coming until next year. Roadmap is in pinned messages

[barren panther]

Thx for the reply.

[sleek swallow]

and we'll see more of that in time

[last furnace]

I hope not, I have a ton of respect for GSG so it's frustrating seeing that sort of behavior. 😦

[sleek swallow]

yeah I would only hope for the same

[full cedar]

First thing that comes to mind to me is just chanting "breach the core" or something

[shut tartan]

fantastic idea actually, with the exception of gold
whatever the community's stancew on mining gold, dwarves love it

[shut tartan]

devs said rock and stone is gonna be in rogue core

[gloomy vapor]

rogue and core to the core

[charred mason]

I remember that the dev said we would start with a gun and a pickaxe ? I wonder how skillful the Reclaimers will show when using a pickaxe, they aren't miners right ?

I think we can assume that mining would be the critical difference between the 2 games.
DRG would focus deeper on how hard and complicate to mine things.
While RC focus on combat

[pearl tinsel]

We're still getting all the traversal tools from drg, just as found items, like weapons

[forest rain]

i wonder if they will ever add a new hazard.

maybe on rouge core.

[dawn storm]

I hear this core is sneaky

[harsh lynx]

I heard it likes jumping inside of things and exploding them from the inside out

[median sleet]

I assume since this is a roguelite the difficulty will be higher by default

[forest rain]

I hope so because i find haz 5 a little easy.

[brave oriole]

IIRC they said its gonna be harder then DRG overall

[elder rapids]

i think the issue with rogue core's roguelite nature is gonna be those exclusive upgrades you get inbetween missions that most have, you spend money on them for a temporary boost those will cause fights

[brave oriole]

Maybe, though (as of now, they may change it) given everyone has to be in a lobby before it starts, and they said its gonna be a turn system for who gets first pick, I think it will be more disapointing, rather then fighting.

[elder rapids]

one person makes the poor decision and the whole lobby will go "GOD YOU'RE SO FUCKING STUPID WHY'D YOU DO THIS THIS IS WHY NOOBS SHOULDN'T PLAY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

[brave oriole]

I feel like the DRG:RC community is gonna develop a more laid back culture around upgrades, since if what you said happens you can always leave and block the assholes.

Though I can see it being an issue if the game garners a different culture around it

[elder rapids]

probably gonna be a more tryhard community with a harder game

[brave oriole]

I mean from what I understand its still not gonna be super hard sweaty play at 100% or lose, even if it has harder combat then DRG

[orchid whale]

Тут есть чат для русских или как?

[elder rapids]

uhhhhh

blyat?

[brave oriole]

Try #fan-communities

[elder rapids]

yeah but you know how people are in harder games, becomes a real skill thing for some

[orchid whale]

THANK YOU!

[brave oriole]

Fair, I just don't think its gonna be an issue, give how GSG has already proven how skilled they are at making kindness and cooperate a given through their games mechanics.

[elder rapids]

well here's hoping they can manage it through a rogue-lite

[sullen trellis]

oooh boy this gon be gud!

[median sleet]

I doubt the community is gonna be toxic like that

Of course there'll be some toxic lobbies but like in DRG I assume you can just leave

[charred mason]

huh ? each player will see different upgrade list right ? how can you assume that your teammate did a bad choice while not knowing what they see ?

[brave oriole]

IIRC They said its a shared list, and everyone takes turns choosing what they want from the list, and once an upgrade is picked nobody else can pick that upgrade, using a system where each time an upgrade will be chosen the order of who picks first, second etc is different so everyone gets a chance to get first pick.

[median sleet]

Also you can 'like' the upgrade you want so the people who pick before you can take it into consideration

Honestly I like the way they're doing it, most other roguelites with co-op feel like the co-op was an afterthought

[grand acorn]

Was this said in the streams

[brave oriole]

I think so, or in one of the spontaneous discord Q&A's

[tall plume]

or stream QA

[median sleet]

You can also gather this from the screenshot with the upgrades on the steam page

[tall plume]

I've dreamed I was playing rogue core mast night 😔

[simple cloak]

We out here play testing the game in our heads

[median sleet]

No way me too, but it was a weird mix of RoR2 and DRG

There was a blue beetle queen and some weird new weapons

[simple cloak]

excited for the second coming of Drip Rock Galactic, Drip Core

[last furnace]

Insert "LET ME INNNN" meme here, amirite?

[simple cloak]

We have Rogue Core at home, (insert meme)

[simple stump]

Is deep rock survivor rogue core?

Or are they different

[median sleet]

Different game, read the pins

[simple stump]

Pins? I'm not very discord savvy. Sorry

[median sleet]

If you're on pc look for the 📌 icon at the top right

[tall plume]

for me it was a mix between DRG and Fall Guys

[median sleet]

Lol those are vastly different

So we now know RC will be a mix between DRG, RoR2 and Fall Guys

[tall plume]

I know

it was lookign weird

[median sleet]

Anyone else had any future predicting dreams last night? We might be able to figure out what the full game will be like

[median sleet]

Mine was just ROR in a DRG cave. It was send to me by a dev and I woke up just before I was gonna try the last weapon

Last weapon was egg shaped

[shut tartan]

that's actually the devs beaming the latest build of the game directly into your head
they're doing playtesting and bug-fixes rn

[brittle ether]

Still not public yet right?

Or I'm just living under the rocks?

[icy vapor]

Still devs only; no private or public testing at current.

[carmine zenith]

That's what they want you to think

[icy vapor]

Just because you managed to get into the super secret vegan testing group doesn't mean you have to rub it in. 😠

[median sleet]

Seemed like they borrowed some assets from RoR2

[grand acorn]

I borrowed the bed of your mother

[median sleet]

Seems like you need to borrow someone elses sense of humor.

[tall plume]

looks like I'm gonna borrow Tater's banhammer

[frozen moss]

I wish I could test the game

[hollow wolf]

same. id turn it on and then tell the devs it works and then close it

id be so good at testing

[compact shard]

Is there a way us normal players can apply for the alpha test, or is it by invitation only?

[median sleet]

Nope, they'll probably announce it when ready

[compact shard]

Ah man. I really want to play it early. Rogue core is a combination of my second most played game, and my most played/owned genre

[median sleet]

Great and well thought out opinion, you should probably change your bio before a mod sees

[compact shard]

Careful, you might hurt yourself on all that edge

[fresh canyon]

Bait used to be believable 💔

[torn drum]

Guys has Rogue Core come out while I was looking over there 🫵

Do it again I wasn’t looking

[tall plume]

too late ❤️

[median sleet]

I tried warning them, but it was probably useless either way 😂

[tall plume]

yeah

[torn drum]

Oh who did we execute?

Do it again I wasn’t looking

[sleek swallow]

the days of public executions are gone

[frozen moss]

No more platforms

😔

[torn drum]

You got BANANA?

So proud of u

[sleek swallow]

that I have yep, and thanks

[shut tartan]

so i got a question
if there aren't gonna be distinct classes, how're they planning to divide up voices and visual distinction between players?

[faint aspen]

Maybe if they added the ability to actually change the pitch of your Reclaimer that could be really cool, that, and the drip is likely gonna be baller

[tall plume]

we don't know yet how it'll be handled

[shut tartan]

i hope there's a crap-ton of customization

[floral wave]

how much the price of the game will be?

[brave oriole]

Unknown

[verbal pine]

At least 2

[sleek swallow]

thousand

[neon lance]

Probably at most the same as the "main" DRG game

It is a standalone spin-off after all

[median sleet]

It'll also be cheaper during Early Acces

[torn drum]

i mean the current dwarves just have pitch shifts

theyd probably just assign those pitches at the start of a game

regardless of class

[grand acorn]

Hope there's more VAs this time

[sleek swallow]

why

it was much cheaper and allowed us to have soooo many more lines than we would've without the way they did it

so it's not like it was a bad thing

[grand acorn]

It was cheaper but it allowing more lines doesn't make any sense

[sleek swallow]

you only have to record one line to use for the 4 characters

rather than spending money and time with 4 people to get 4 of the same exact line

same amount of time and money to record 1 line for 4 characters

therefore in the time and money you spent on the 4 people

you've done "16" lines

[grand acorn]

Yeah so it's cheaper lol

[sleek swallow]

therefore we were allowed ot have more lines

less time and cheaper

[grand acorn]

Nothing limiting you on saying more lines than it being cheaper

[grand acorn]

No decision gives strictly positive effects

[sleek swallow]

I don't see how

[grand acorn]

It is cheaper but you end up with one voice for multiple characters

Lol what

It's right there

Repetitive one voice for all characters

[sleek swallow]

the same voice actor but they don't sound the exact same with how they handled it

[grand acorn]

At times you can't even differentiate between characters based on sound

Like gunner and driller

Now don't be silly now just because you enjoy the game

The character doesn't even differ

[sleek swallow]

what? I am just being honest?

[grand acorn]

There's a reason why characters like the ones from vt2 are way more distinguishable

Aside from race, they differ in the way they speak

[sleek swallow]

but we literally have clones for this game

[grand acorn]

The accent tongue and overall tone

[sleek swallow]

they look nearly the same

[brave oriole]

I mean I can, and if you have trouble there are subtitles

[sleek swallow]

the reclaimers are all gonna be similar

[grand acorn]

This is one sound that is relayed on different frequencies

That's my point

[sleek swallow]

we're familiar

[grand acorn]

I hope the reclaimers aren't too generic and similar

[sleek swallow]

but they're supposed to be generic

[grand acorn]

Just use subtitles instead of voice acting all together

[grand acorn]

Sad

[sleek swallow]

ok well now you're being silly

[grand acorn]

But ah well

Their decision, hope they make up for the loss of individual characters

[brave oriole]

I mean, yeah. Given you don't have enough money (cause voice actors are expensive AF) use text to differentiate, instead of voices.

[grand acorn]

Since we already lost class specific lines

[sleek swallow]

we don't even know the exact details anyways

whether a decision makes sense or not we have nothing to base it off

[brave oriole]

I do hope its easy to tell them apart, but its to early in development to know anything for sure

[sleek swallow]

granted if there even was a "decision" to do X, Y or Z since a lot of stuff is subject to change

[torn drum]

But we have the one, the only-

I actually forgot his name!

Fake fan…….

[tiny notch]

bait…

[median sleet]

Just make every gun have the same model instead of making different ones...

[last furnace]

I wonder if it's possible to have base voicelines, and give players different voice modulator options to make them sound different?

[shut tartan]

imagine if they go the moonbase alpha approach

[pearl tinsel]

I don't really get why they're so stingy with getting more voice actors

[grand acorn]

Yeah! It's "cheaper", less "time consuming" and that way you can just make one gun with 4 different shooting patterns instead of 4 different gun models!

[vocal jasper]

audio voice lines you hear for a second is way different than a weapon often times customizable thats always on your screen

[fluid lake]

They talk a lot

[median sleet]

I made a joke

[pearl tinsel]

They said money wasn't an issue 🤷‍♂️

[verbal pine]

It's dwarf, dwarf dwarfindwarf

[deep agate]

i hope we get to customize/make your character, thats the trade off. Even though i loooooove Bardin

[grand acorn]

Yep that's my point

[shut tartan]

i think they should go the moonbase alpha approach

[median sleet]

They should make us voiceact every voiceline before we can play the game

[pearl tinsel]

Buh buh buh buh buh buhhh buhhhhhh

[onyx lotus]

I'm gonna love this when the pre game comes out

A rogue like drg game us gonna be cool

[harsh lynx]

The key difference is immersion imho. Having all guns look the same or enemies look the same or enemies sound the same etc ruins the immersion of the game and makes it feel less polished. Whereas the dwarves sounding a little similar doesn't, cause the pitch differention is enough so they aren't exactly the same

[median sleet]

Game still isn't out, another horrible day

Disadvantage of open development is knowing they're making it but not being able to play it for at least another year

[last pond]

hey at least we know it's being worked on

there's too many games that just went dark in terms of development

[median sleet]

But I want it now!!!!!!

[last pond]

well I'm not giving it to you then

keeping it to myself

[median sleet]

Ok, I want it in a year

[last pond]

still not giving it to you

[median sleet]

I didn't want it anyway

[last pond]

cause I don't distribute/work on the game

[median sleet]

Obviously you do, you're yellow

[last pond]

I gave myself a fake role, good to see it's working

cause I totally have the power to do that

[untold siren]

rogue core dev in disguise

[hollow wolf]

Rogue dev for Rogue core

[ivory bloom]

-insert wut gif-

[velvet marsh]

If you squint enough yellow can look a lot like red

[median sleet]

All these devs hanging out on discord instead of making roguecore shaking my smh

[ivory bloom]

So you assume they not making game while being logged in on discord?

so let me just go pardon myself tab out with discord still running and go make game

[velvet marsh]

fixBug(bug103);
fixBug(bug104);

Oops sorry that was meant for the other monitor

[sleek swallow]

it's difficult to coordinate 120+ developers as a small indie company

[tall plume]

[median sleet]

I had a very make bad jokes day today, I apologize

[shut tartan]

me when silksong

[fresh jetty]

well of course roguecore has gone dark. the core went dark it said so in the trailer

[fresh canyon]

The devs have gone dark…

[sharp salmon]

Untrue

[shut tartan]

the devs have gone rogue

nobody can find them

they're living in the walls

[calm yoke]

I see no scout in this chat...

[pure vessel]

We're working 😦

[burnt flume]

And we're going rogue

[celest viper]

Devs gone rogue

Rogue devs

[burnt flume]

Gone wrong, gone redacted

[celest viper]

Lets mine some saucecode for dystrum lootbug

[burnt flume]

Croppa Lootbug

[celest viper]

All kind of lootbug

[burnt flume]

Lava Lootbug, if you kill it then it explodes like a magma gayser and insta kills you

[celest viper]

Breather²

[burnt flume]

Breathern't

[median sleet]

Sometimes it feels like I can still hear them...

[hollow wolf]

I think we can definitively say that Rogue Core is vaporware at this point

[ivory wasp]

is this DRG : 2 ?

[sleek swallow]

read the pinned messages

they have answers to any questions you may have

[ivory wasp]

sweet cheers sikorz

oh damn that sounds interesting asl

[hollow bear]

Rip Rouge Core

We hardly knew ye

[median sleet]

Can't believe the devs cancelled Rouge Core so they could work on DRG season 5 😭

[small bough]

I bet they're trying to tighten up the graphics on level 3

[median sleet]

They should make every weapon an NFT

[hollow bear]

I get this reference

👴

[small bough]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-abe-simpson-milhouse-old-man-is-talking-gif-16954497

[median sleet]

Yeah, that sure was a funny reference, fellow old people

I sure got what it referenced

[velvet marsh]

I dont get it

[median sleet]

Don't let them know that, it's dangerous

[warped monolith]

Deep core galactic

[hidden hornet]

Rogue core galactic

Danger, darkness, rogue

[sick siren]

Danger darkness rouge dwarfs

[mild oak]

Can't the core is gonna rouge all over the place

[burnt flume]

its rogueing time and the core started to go rogue all over the place, truly the most rogue-like thing I've ever witnessed

[brave oriole]

RC chat is really pulling at threads to find a conversation lol

[median sleet]

Darkner darker dwarkes

[tall plume]

dwarvka ?

[median sleet]

The pain of open development

[median sleet]

Rogue core is just gonna be project dwarka confirmed?

[safe fulcrum]

I’ll take anything spooky

[weary quest]

Glyphid hellspawn 3 times the size of you crawls out of the ground and chase music starts

and it's on 2 legs

[safe fulcrum]

Glad to see that it’s aware of what I do to bulks

[weary quest]

"Oh god its not running from me "OH GOD ITS RUNNING TO ME"

[safe fulcrum]

(:<

My eyes are off centre

Even more terrifying

[burnt flume]

Glyphid Queen may exist?

[shut tartan]

RUN!

[burnt flume]

Or mactera dreadnaught?

[shut tartan]

the question of whether or not they should use one voice that's pitched around, or give everyon edifferent voices, can all be answered if you simply change the question a bit

do you think it's more or less funny for everyone to say "we're rich!" in one voice that's pitched around, or various different voices?

[weary quest]

gunfire reborn but dwarf

actually it might be more akin to the gungeon depending if the devs add abilities

[pearl tinsel]

I enjoy characters talking to eachother during horde shooters like this. DRG dwarves kinda just yell a bunch of one liners. It's still funny, but I think different dwarves having conversations would be really cool. Darktide did something similar and it works really well

[celest viper]

there is many difference between gfr compared to this game... according devs

it's more like Risk of rain 2 but dwarf

[weary quest]

so looping and with multiple pickups?

supposedly

[celest viper]

yea

[pearl tinsel]

They said no looping yet

[celest viper]

oh nvm then

[pearl tinsel]

Idk if they fully ruled it out though

[celest viper]

well, rule gone rogue ig

[weary quest]

only time will tell tho if the devs needed to extend the season to start development on. the game

[weary quest]

yet

[pearl tinsel]

Wdym

[celest viper]

can't wait for closed beta

If I have any chance to join it...

[median sleet]

The devs said that if there is a closed alpha and only 1 person signs up they'll give acces of the game to everyone except the person who signed up,

So I am willing to sacrifice myself

So nobody else sign up, ok?

[carmine zenith]

Too late

I already signed up

[sour leaf]

how do you sign up for closed alpha

[cyan valley]

I would love to get my hands on alpha/beta gameplay of RogueCore @_@

It'll take months of course, but i've got all the time in the world!

I just wanna see what kinda crazy whackadoodle stuff we'll be seeing deep down in the RogueCore experience. Different mission types? Funky new biomes? I can't wait !

[sour leaf]

i hope we get to fight an adult dreadnought

[cyan valley]

I wanna see GIANT BURROWING SPACE WORM

There's so much i'd love to see when it comes to RC

[sour leaf]

it seems to be longer sessions so they could go crazy with bosses

[cyan valley]

I want to explore not only the DRG world/lore but also the new cool stuff that comes with it!

[sour leaf]

yeah!

[hollow wolf]

You can't yet

[cyan valley]

If they had like a long session challenging 'Risk of Rain 2' kinda dealio going on that would be interesting

[sour leaf]

thanks

there are very few 3d roguelikes

[cyan valley]

Like an EDD but even more of a challenge
