[molten spruce]

nope

[pine skiff]

We have a year to figure out how to spell "rogue"

[hollow wolf]

you did it! mods, close the channel!

[molten spruce]

at the end of the year they will count the amount of times rogue is said and the amount rouge is said and hwichever one is greater will become the title of the game

[tall plume]

okay

[tender pollen]

i wanna play rouge corpse

[carmine zenith]

I'm on it

Rouge Corn

[hollow wolf]

so excited

[sleek mirage]

What is rouge core ?

[shut tartan]

rouge core

[sleek mirage]

Yes i bet it is

But like ??

[shut tartan]

it's drg if drg was deeper

[sleek mirage]

I like deep things

Nice

[sleek mirage]

Deeper than deep dives

[shut tartan]

yuh huh

[sleek mirage]

?

[shut tartan]

deep down in the core

[sleek mirage]

Yeeeah

[shut tartan]

that is rogue

[sleek mirage]

Gotta get deep down there yessir

[frigid path]

And it’s possibly rouge too but the dwarves are too busy shooting stuff to check their colour charts

[shut tartan]

yeah it might be rouge but i can't see colour

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

[sleek mirage]

Thanks

[sleek mirage]

👍

[molten spruce]

Ain't Rouge the bat bitch from sonic

Please no one say "you mean BAD bitch," I will personally hunt you down and kill you

[sick jetty]

When the core is rogue.

[grand acorn]

Ser Pounce I am still waiting for my access to the game. Can I get a date or atleast get my 4 kilos of giraffe fur refunded?

It was very difficult to ethically obtain it

[tall plume]

That's on you for thinking I'm a dev who can get you access or something
ez giraffe fur for meeeee

[grand acorn]

🤬

[hollow zealot]

/ticket

[median sleet]

Ticket opened, how may I help you?

[tall plume]

you can help him by becoming a mod

too bad it's not happening since you can't even spell rogue

[delicate bay]

'

[icy vapor]

Oh man... and they were this close too. 🙁

[hidden hornet]

Damn

I can't believe what's stopping them from being mod is not spelling rouge correctly

[rich condor]

[forest rain]

The core has gone...rogue

How rogue

[bold hawk]

just looked at the steam page, and i got to say it looks like a sandbox game

i would buy a sandbox drg game of what rouge core looks like

[median sleet]

It isn't it's a roguelike

[frosty cloak]

wonder if Rogue Core will be as moddable as base DRG is

[west warren]

probably will be

[hollow wolf]

it's still gonna be in unreal 4.27, so while it may not have official mod support, it will be moddable by unreal modders anyways

[pine skiff]

Level 3

[shut tartan]

they should continually switch engines a bunch throughout development

[wanton ember]

Yo guys, I have a question, rogue core is a new game right, but they will keep updating the deep rock galactic and bring more content or they will focus on rogue core?

[shut tartan]

drg's on the backburner but it's not off the stove

[wanton ember]

wdym?

[shut tartan]

they're focusing on rogue core rn but they have no plans to abandon drg any time soon

[wanton ember]

Oh ok!

I started deep rock galactic recently and I'm quite scared that I will lose something

When they release the rogue core I will buy but tbh I like galactic

[tall plume]

yes, they'll keep updating it

and backburner isn't right

they're gonna be switching focus between two games

[carmine zenith]

Drg is canceled, pack up and go everybody, nothing to see here!

[shut tartan]

yeah so whenever they focus on one the other will temporarily be on the backburner

[acoustic crown]

Hey how do I get to #report-a-typo ?

#1062710911367925780 ?

[wary tiger]

yes

[raven wharf]

It made a dark joke that didn't land well?

[knotty totem]

Yo, I thought rogue core was the new season for galactic, not a new game? Is it really a new game?

[meager pawn]

I would literally pay $1000 to get into the closed alpha next year

[scenic hawk]

Anyone think we're gonna get a vr mode?

Also I hope we get new beers to try before missions in rouge core

[shut tartan]

since the crew of the ramrod consists of only us, i wanna imagine that management has less control over us

we can kick barrels intot eh launch bay as much as we want

[simple cloak]

Them making a vr mode is probably not gonna happen, having a vr mod come out is more likely

[scenic hawk]

It'd be funny if ramrod mission control was the passive aggressive mc from the mod

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

[tall plume]

doubt it

[knotty totem]

How?

[knotty totem]

Dang

[shut tartan]

lmao

[mental notch]

Rowge kore

[cunning arrow]

What if Karl was at the core of hoxes

[fallen remnant]

That would be sick

[sleek swallow]

the drg mod application:

why do you think you should be a moderator? ❌

do you have past experience with moderating? ❌

can you spell rogue core? ✅

[broken flame]

I can link you to the mod someone made if you'd like

[scenic hawk]

Played the original drg vrmod its hectic as hell

[broken flame]

Ahh oki

[wary tiger]

yes, it's r o u g e

wait no

uh

uuhhhhhhhh

[celest viper]

Core core rouge core?
Rogue core rogue rogue?

Tryna invent new language

Core roguegish

[surreal maple]

Why are you insulting my mother 😤😤😤

[celest viper]

Wha

Ohh you must have learned different accent

It's rogue not rogore

Also it's core not coure

[surreal maple]

Ah well! Nice to meet you too!

[celest viper]

Rock and stone!

[delicate flax]

me when rogue core

[sudden hare]

When the core is rogu

[cobalt siren]

Cored rogue

[bleak fable]

I hope they put a rouge core easter egg into rogue core

[forest rain]

If the core isnt made for rogue why rogue shaped

[delicate flax]

i think it's a core that's rogue

[whole plank]

I can't wait for rogue core

[shut tartan]

buy hoxxes
look inside core
rogue

[fickle abyss]

is it ouy yeeeet

[harsh lynx]

early access only a year away

[forest rain]

Only

[delicate flax]

we've heard of rogue core but have you heard of loyal surface

[harsh lynx]

oh yeah I did. It went into early access a year ago I think. It was the prequel to the yet to be released Shallow Stone National right?

[delicate flax]

correct

also it's shallow stone plantary

[pine skiff]

I still would prefer wizard core or fighter core

We already have a rogue in the party

[shut tartan]

imo we could use a bardcore

[grand acorn]

Minecraft deep rock galactic modpack

[delicate flax]

we have zero support cores

[severe birch]

hot take but I'm hoping the only mods allowed would be audio/visual.

[past terrace]

We have blank cores though

[compact shard]

There's a game I found, beneath the stone, which I imagine is like the flash game equivalent of rogue core. It has me excited for the actual DRG game. I really hope they'll be able to do an alpha with some of the people here, I'm dying to see what the game is like

[forest rain]

If hoxxes 4 is so good why isnt there hoxxes 4 2?

[shut tartan]

i get not wanting to use gameplay-changing mods but you can't deny that they give a lot of value to the game for the people that do wanna use them

[bleak fable]

I do hope that the game includes enough difficulty options that people dont feel like they need to mod them in to enjoy the high diff coop the game has the potential to offer

[charred mason]

roguelite is the best to solve difficulty issue, in theory, your characters abilities and difficulty level are both rise up unlimited

[old swift]

insane take

i don't even understand it

[shut tartan]

my assumption is that they're hoping modded difficulties won't be possible so that the divide between vanilla players and modded players won't happen

[charred mason]

nah...modders will always find ways to mod game
I only hope that players won't brag to everyone that they used mods to make game easier

[severe birch]

random servers having mods on the base game is beyond obnoxious sometimes

[median sleet]

That's people bypassing the integrated modding system. most of the time they have [modded] in the lobby description

[median sleet]

Expenite Grabber

[vocal jewel]

Then the modded players simply wont play and find a more interesting game

Its a terrible idea

[vocal jewel]

This is because the integrated modding system has a heap of issues that have gone unfixed for a long time

[pearl tinsel]

They said loops aren't in the plans yet

[trim maple]

also impossible to enforce

[trim maple]

may even be more "moddable" if they're more hands off than they are with drg

[still ridge]

idrc ab mods personally tbh i just wana b a littl dwarf and rock and stone

[median sleet]

I do, since I can't live without my QoL mods anymore

If they do add modding support I hope it's better than DRG's support. If they don't, someone else will.

[severe birch]

Well then, modded servers should be kept completely separate, and I would be fine with that. Anything that changes gameplay shouldn’t be in the server browser for either game without people opting in.

[long breach]

The person who was working on mod support left GSG and they haven’t found anyone else who wants to do it yet. The current mod support system isn’t where GSG wants it to be at either.

[simple cloak]

😔

[manic sleet]

How long is a rogue core match?

[median sleet]

Modded servers are kept seperate. People bypassing the modding integration aren't

[simple cloak]

uhhh according to my gold fish memory I saw something about it having 3-4 stages for a avg completion time of 20-25 minutes is what they're going for

[pure vessel]

I think it varies a lot, but about 20-30 minutes I guess.

[simple cloak]

oh hey I got the timing right, go me

[manic sleet]

Ok 👍

[pure vessel]

That's the gist of it. I don't think we'll look at mod support from the get go with Rogue Core honestly.

[long breach]

yeah i heard it from Mike from one of the youtube chats he had with DRG content creators. It was mentioned before I think but I forgot that happened till yesterday when i watched the vid

also, hi Anders

[pure vessel]

Hello. Yes the mod stuff was on Jonas, who might have taken over from Christoffer, if I'm not mistaken. Right now we don't have anyone dedicated to look into it. I don't think it's a high priority right now given that we don't have anyone to allocate to it right now.

[median sleet]

It doesn't need to be high priority imo, AssemblyStorms mod client for DRG is great and someone will also make one for RC

[grand acorn]

Three hundred.

[pure vessel]

I think it's fine honestly. As long as vanilla playes can opt out if they don't want to join modded servers.

[harsh lynx]

*years

[severe birch]

yeah, that's a problem.

[mild parcel]

tbh its quite lucky assemblystorm exists. without them, drg just wouldnt have mod support. thats not really a 'someone else will do it' considering gsg is struggling to hire for it

the 'bypassing' is just regular modding. landmine servers would be significantly worse without mint

[vocal jewel]

Yeah, its how modding works in most games that have modding

[hollow palm]

Most of what people like to use is clientside anyway

But I could see a community launcher being made, having some lobbies intersect with other unmodded clients, break progression now and then

Worse experience overall but it wouldn’t be impossible to find and create modded lobbies

[shell willow]

Aw man it's the same event as last year except for a new hat

[sleek swallow]

this isn't #drg-chat

[shell willow]

I see that now 🤣

What's wrong rogue core.

[median sleet]

What's right rogue core

[harsh lynx]

What's left rogue core?

[simple cloak]

But why hasn't anyone asked how is rouge core? 😢

[late ledge]

Yuletide event in rc

[celest viper]

What's joined rogue core?

[wary tiger]

theres a rouge core?!

it is related to the rogue one?

[delicate flax]

what is rogue core??

[wary tiger]

[delicate flax]

who is rogue core??

[wary tiger]

why is rogue core?!

[delicate flax]

when is rogue core??

The rogueining has begun

[delicate flax]

all we can do is rogue core puns before rogue core comes out

it's roguover

[tall plume]

November

[simple cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585

awh no

bed fail

[delicate flax]

wow! rogue core! only a november away!

[shell willow]

Honestly I don't even remember saying wrong

Is there a video for it?

[median sleet]

See pinned messages for info

[shell willow]

Thanks fam

[celest viper]

Messages pinned see info for

[shell willow]

I'd love to see this as a dungeon crawler style

Sounds fun af.

[tall plume]

isn't that just DRG ?

[compact shard]

Question for the devs: will rogue core introduce a rogue class for the reclaimers? Would be funny to have a suit that lets you get more loot from containers and enemies (if enemies end up dropping anything loot related)

[shell willow]

No DRG is first person shooter.

I mean like a diablo style top down dungeon crawler.

Kinda like Hades but DRG

[tall plume]

there's no class in rogue core to speak of

[compact shard]

No class? Damn, reclaimers are all poor, no drip

Perhaps I should clarify though, I meant a set of items (suits, guns, maybe buffs or upgrades) that allow you to claim more/better rewards from the environment. Luck/loot/rogue builds are fun in rogue-lite games

[simple cloak]

we got drg survivors

[compact shard]

Even if pre built classes aren't a thing

[tall plume]

I see what you mean but Rogue Core isn't exactly a looter-shooter either

maybe there can be passive stuff to like, mine more expenite for upgrades

but I think that would be the extend of it

[compact shard]

Yee

[tall plume]

bit too early to tell for sure but from what we know, that's what I'm deducing

[compact shard]

I don't play looter shooters, the rogue-lite games I play have loot systems that are more like buffs for each run, health, currency, and the occasional ability.
I'm not sure what systems they're building, but like, finding red sugar in old mining equipment could be interesting I think. Especially if we're meant to be examining or repairing it

[tall plume]

no idea if we're going to interact with mining equipment, and in which capacity tbh

it seems like we will but to what purpose is still completely unknown

[compact shard]

True, which is why I pose the question. Who knows, maybe it'll inspire them. Either way, I'm excited for a combination of my favorite ip with one of my most played genres

[tall plume]

same

[compact shard]

I wonder what elements of DRG they'll keep, and what they'll add. Like, will mobility be more important in the rogue core, with new movement abilities?
Will they maintain a gear-centric system with turrets, shields, and explosives to fend off enemies?
Maybe they'll add more items that feel more high tech or somewhat mystical with this new mysterious mineral.

[late ledge]

[simple cloak]

New hacks, connect the pipes

[elder lark]

Love the pfp!

[knotty epoch]

Didn't they say that they were going to make the weapons more sleek and futuristic (Steam post about weapon design if your curious)

[shut tartan]

i have an inkling that permanently setting up movement tools like drilling terrain, setting up platforms, and ziplines and such, will be a lot less of a thing in rogue core, since there are multiple disconnectd stages, and none of them take too long to complete

[delicate flax]

roguereere coreeeere

[median sleet]

Is anyone else struggling to open the pins on the new Discord mobile client?

It lags like crazy and takes really long to open

Also I can no longer swipe left to spy on the devs playing RC

[icy vapor]

Pins should be one of the icons, rather than just a text button, but it works ok here. Mine just updated and I'm trying to give it an honest try before getting too cranky with the rebuild. :|

[simple cloak]

Nah this discord update is

Why is my swipe left to show discord members replaced with a reply function

I'm not a reply addict

[west warren]

yeah wtf why did the update hide pins and member list

[grizzled lotus]

I'm new on the discord, does anyone heve any idea of rogue core release date?

[west warren]

early access supposed to be november, more info in pins

theres gonna be rogue core closed alpha before drg season 5 in june

[grizzled lotus]

november next year?

[west warren]

yeah

[grizzled lotus]

damn that sucks

[west warren]

takes time to make a game, better than having it be rushed

[grizzled lotus]

yeah for sure. just didn't know how long its been going on for.

[west warren]

wasnt announced too long ago, probably like 2 months ago. devs said they anticipated a lot of people would be unhappy about having to wait longer for season 5, but they said they're confident it'll be worth it so im def interested

[grizzled lotus]

oh, ok cool.

[simple cloak]

Can't wait for season 5 where we get a taste of rogue core

[merry warren]

How much content do y'all think Rogue Core will have compared to DRG?

[proper osprey]

I think drg still will have the most content, but that RC rather introduces a lot of new things too see what the fanbase like and don’t

[hollow wolf]

5

[median sleet]

It will feature guns

[charred mason]

From what I see, the potential is enormous

action game is just every where, and it effect people taste a lots
when thinking about new type of mission or what need to upgrade, combat combat combat is always the way

develop a roguelite game will satisfy most players's taste

[old pendant]

how rogue is the core gonna be though? any leaks

give me the IGN rating scale from 5.5-10

gotta be like 8 right?

[alpine dagger]

will you be able to rock and ston in rogue core??

[delicate flax]

if there's no rocking and stoning in rogue core i will not be buying the game

[merry warren]

I mean I hope so

[median sleet]

They just removed every gun from the game

[merry warren]

Lol

[naive grove]

guns? axes are better

[teal crest]

[past terrace]

The removed every class except driller, because driller is the only one capable of drilling deep enough

[wild apex]

What if in Rogue Core there was no class.... its just Karl.

Karl embodies all 4 classes in one, he holds that much power

[tall plume]

Rogue Core has no classes

it's been confirmed by the devs already

[grizzled lotus]

Karl class is classless.

Is there any footage of gameplay in rogue core?

[shut tartan]

there's screenshots

[grizzled lotus]

😦

[shut tartan]

what

[long breach]

there's no new screenshots nor footage yet because they want to get rogue core to look different from DRG first, so that it's clear to people that this is a separate game and has it's own thing going on. But I have a feeling that we'll get them soon-ish

last i heard, they have been making new enemies for rogue core 👀

[faint aspen]

I wonder if they're gonna do something with Rogue Core where some enemies in DRG that are normally a pain end up being much more common/weaker or oversized by much more intimidating threats, would be neat considering we got Season 5 as a sort of bridge between the two

[charred mason]

I think they would do that if the variety of monster significantly increased

[grand acorn]

News

[grand acorn]

What about the first screenshots that dropped?

the ones on the steam page

[long breach]

Those are the only screenshots we currently have, and used for their initial announcement for rogue core

[fluid lake]

we have so little on the game its funny that a channel even exists

[bleak fable]

they wanted some place people could cope when the announcement dropped that wasnt drg chat

[fresh canyon]

Dead chat lol

[shut tartan]

chat has gone rogue

[mental notch]

Rog core it up

[sleek swallow]

what do you think stuff like #suggestions exists for? to keep the generic repetitive 5th class suggestions into one place and keep them out of #drg-chat

quarantining channels

[shut tartan]

i'd also hope it's a place where devs can look to for ideas

[limpid elbow]

They dont always check it but they do occasionally go through it.

[shut tartan]

i mean that just makes sense
i assume they're not looking for new ideas from the community at all times

[limpid elbow]

Yeah, not only that but some of the suggestions are either repeat suggestions or unbalanced/poorly thought through ones. But occasionally you do find the diamond in the rough.

[olive narwhal]

the devs to poke theirs heads in both chats occasionally

[pure vessel]

Yes

[pure vessel]

We have plenty of ideas, so we don't consult the community for those. However the feedback is very valuable.

[queen sun]

man even with the devs popping in the rouge core chat is still really slow

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/roger-american-dad-no-noo-nooo-gif-24421030

<@&296918282403840000>

[raw ridge]

I mean, there's nothing to discuss about rogue core as of now

[median sleet]

You can talk about the balancing of the weapons and stuff, just try not to spoil the game for people who haven't reached the last stage yet

I really like how they allowed you to attach weapons you no longer want to your sentry gun

It does drain sentry ammo fast tho

But does a ton of damage

[raw ridge]

Eh, we only have a handful of information about the game itself

Not nearly enough to warrant some deep, extensive discussion

[median sleet]

Then you should play it

[raw ridge]

Wdym play it

We're still ahead of the release

[median sleet]

You know, the game rogue core. It's a ton of fun

been playing it all day for the past few weeks

[raw ridge]

k

[median sleet]

Jet boots are really OP compared to DRG

Is the pin from Sikorz broken for anyone else on the mobile client?

The original message is fine, but the pin itself just says 'developed by GSG'

[old swift]

there is zero chance anyone who's looking for that information on mobile will find it now anyway, but yes it only says developed by gsg

[median sleet]

Thanks Discord

[west warren]

love how they not only hid the pins but ruined all the previews for them too

[hollow wolf]

i had to go back to a previous version of the app

[green ermine]

such an awful change

genuinely pathetic lol

[simple cloak]

It’s wack they replaced swiping to the left to bring up members list with straight up replying to a message

How many people are actually replying that often they need a even easier way to reply

[vocal jewel]

Its quite nice imo, replying on mobile used to be a fucking pita cuz you had to press and hold and half the time it opened up their profile instead

[frail phoenix]

Probably a stupid question, but are the devs gonna stop working on DRG after Rogue Core comes out?

[bleak fable]

no

at least not soon after RC comes out

[raven wharf]

Thou shalt review thine pinned messages

[charred mason]

only the devs know
I think that they're gonna create DRG dlc expansions like they did with RC

for example, season 6 is a normal seasonal update, however, it's the tip of the iceberg.
there will be a dlc that provide a deep content related to that season

[broken flame]

They have on a few streams explained, but there will be periods of time where they will work on one game instead of the other and alternate until that changes

In what form that work takes, dlc or not, remains to be seen. Season 5 is definite, s6 is extremely likely, anything beyond we'll have to see how it all turns out

[raw ridge]

What are you smoking bruh

[pure vessel]

No.

[pure vessel]

It would be very, very weird if we don't make a season 7 or 8.

The thing is that we don't plan very far ahead, honestly. That's why the roadmap only covers 5 and 6.

[raw ridge]

Hopefully the sweet, angelic voice of MC will guide us in rogue core as well

[pure vessel]

You'll just have to wait and see 🙂

[median sleet]

But I don't wanna wait!!!!🥺😭

[high sedge]

It's almost Q1 2024 please let me join the closed alpha please I'm begging you I'll do anything literally anything ;-)

For real though when can we expect to see a closed alpha sign up and how will participants be chosen?

[pure vessel]

Not sure, I'm working on DRG not Rogue Core. But I expect that you are going to hear more after new years.

[broken flame]

I figured this was the case, I just didn't wanna put words to mouths that never spoke the words

[charred mason]

Just a speculation, RC was born while the devs were trying to create a DLC.
What kind of DLC lead to RC? That DLC might provide a new game mode. The devs failed to create the Rogue-Core-DLC but it showed that they have ability to create DLCs which aren't cosmetic packs. Paying for something similar have become a possibility in the future.
I don't hate it, they have many ideas and new ideas sometimes require you breakthrough solutions.

[pure vessel]

It was meant to be an expansion and planned to be so from the beginning. From there it just turned into a standalone spinoff.

[charred mason]

expansion? so it was planned that we didn't have to pay for it? You guys are even greater than I thought, sorry for misunderstood your kindness 🥺

[pure vessel]

It was planned to be a bigger paid expansion, that's why a lot of work would go into it. It just became it's own thing in the end.

[proven marten]

guys how do you think the games story is gonna be like

[tall plume]

there's gonna be as much story as in DRG

[proven marten]

i figured

[ebon notch]

Ohh no something has gone wrong! Go fix it. You failed? Well. Here are some small upgrades. Do it again.

[raw ridge]

Dead Space but DRG

[proven marten]

they said it's gonna be skill based no?

[raw ridge]

yes

[spice citrus]

all what i wanna see is Karl himself(

i mean he could survire deep in rouge core, no?

no evidence that he is dead for sure

[olive narwhal]

Story wise maybe as far as what drgs current seasons do for plot so not much

[spice citrus]

The developers have said that they think about adding female dwarfes in Rouge core. The question is will they have a beard? I mean dwarf without a beard is not a dwarf regardless of gender

[olive narwhal]

I think female dwarfs have beards based upon my sigular homebrew 5e campagin experience

[pure vessel]

Would be weird if the female dwarves didn't have beards

[raw ridge]

Hot take, but I prefer beardless females

It's the size that matters

[median sleet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/zax2bg/love_this_response_personally_regardless_of/ Old response about female dwarves in DRG I still like

[unique tiger]

I think female dwarves should have mustache instead of beard

[tall plume]

if there's cosmetics just line in DRG, it would be a waste not to be able to use beards and mustaches so from a pragmatic POV : they gotta have both.

But there's nothing saying customization will be as big as it is in DRG so it can still be handled differently.

[unique tiger]

I guess you're right. I was trying to say female dwarves in general, movies, shows, stories,...

But yeah, the cosmetic shouldn't be locked.

[old swift]

i feel like it'd be a bit of a waste to not have character customization like in drg

though there is a massive amount of cosmetics, and given reclaimers are meant to be visually different i doubt all cosmetics would be "ported" over

[hazy quest]

I'd be pretty disappointed if rogue core had no customisation at all

[olive narwhal]

I reckon it will have it but i feel like its approach will be a bit different to line up with the i think slightly more serious vibe they are going for

[hazy quest]

that's fine

I'll be happy as long as there's something of that ilk to engage with

[old swift]

drg is unironically like 30% customization so i think zero customization is very unlikely

[median sleet]

I hope we at least get 1 female and 1 male dwarf. In the best case we'd get 4 different dwarves each with their unique personalities and voice actors, but I doubt they'd do that.

[pure vessel]

I think Javier can pull it off.

[median sleet]

Just pitch him a bit higher than scout and nobody will notice

[hazy copper]

Cheese

[old swift]

i think he could probably pull off 4 pretty unique dwarf voices though i'm not so sure about a female dwarf

some of the newer class specific voicelines sound quitestrange if pitched to the other classes

[dusk wedge]

my main thing for wanting female dwarves is that i want a headmorph without a quadruple chin tbh

the knight mask and stuff look really cool and then you look 1 inch down and its like pov:

u know

[pearl tinsel]

I would actually be super dissapointed if you guys went with one voice and no female dwarves again

I'd be more interested in a more traditional horde shooter type experience where each character has their own personality and banter between characters. That's one of the biggest things I think is missing from drg itself

[dusk wedge]

i actually like that all the dwarves have the same banter lines, adds to the sense of camaraderie imo

[pearl tinsel]

There isn't really banter though, they only have one liners

[dusk wedge]

yeah its great

rock and stone you beautiful dwarfs!

[pearl tinsel]

If you've ever played something like vermintide, wwz, darktide or l4d you'd know what I mean

The dwarves never have actual conversations

They just say random stuff and never respond to each other

It's funny, but I think actual dialogue would be awesome too, and take it a step further

Darktide in particular would be a great thing to base it off of, since conversations can differ based on which classes are currently in your team, and even how many of a particular class can change conversations

[tall plume]

because they're not supposed to be individuals, they're more blank state characters

so it fits perfectly with this idea

[west warren]

having dwarves respond to each other more would b cool

[shut tartan]

it'd be cool but it has the chance to get annoying with super long voicelines and responses

there are some in a couple games i've played, like call of duty zombies, where characters will have short conversations, and those always felt weird because you won't hear the other character say anything because they're so far away, and then your character responds to somethign you didnt' hear

imo the ultimate form of a conversation mechanic would be somethign like, leaving it up to the player whether they want to respond

[west warren]

yea tru

[shut tartan]

something like
gunner pings scout: you've got a flaregun, use it!"
scout pings gunner: "get better eyes you moron"

[west warren]

funny how pinging someone is such a crapshoot what they're gonna say rn

could be you're cute could be DO YOUR JOB

[shut tartan]

the engineer, who's been trying to get the scout to notice the nitra be platformed ten minutes ago: "doing a bang-up job mate!"

[pearl tinsel]

Neither are the characters in darktide really. And the dwarves still have plenty of one liners that imply some level of characterization, especially among class specific voice lines, or stuff like "Hey, didn't I see you at the bar last night?"

I don't think actual conversations means you can't have characters that function more like blank slates

[pearl tinsel]

Kinda makes me wish we could have more contextual pings instead of purely automatic

[shut tartan]

that's what i'm saying

[pearl tinsel]

Like "go here" or "enemies spotted", "defend this area" etc

[grizzled lotus]

Female dwarves without beards work just fine. Look at the WoW dwarves, their fine.

you could also have different piercings and things as other cosmetics.

[shut tartan]

i think it's just that beards and moustaches are such a huge part of the cosmetic pool that entirely removing that from female dwarves would be a bit weird
obviously since rogue core probably doesn't have many or any distinct cosmetics right now, that wouldnt' necessarily be the problem there that it is in drg depending on how they choose to take it

[grizzled lotus]

yeah

[shut tartan]

i wouldn't really have any problems with female dwarves coming stocked with beards as long as i had the option to make them clean-shaven like in drg

[grizzled lotus]

i spose

[pearl tinsel]

Why shouldn't they be able to have beards?

[molten spruce]

WoW:
Fine:

[unique tiger]

I love how this is where we discuss rogue core but we talk about female dwarves facial hair instead.

[shut tartan]

it's vital

[delicate flax]

game isnt out yet so that's all we have to talk about

[shut tartan]

rogue core is coming out in like a year so you've got time

[pure vessel]

I meant Javier could pull off different dwarf personalities. If we have a female dwarf that would be a new voice actor.

[pure vessel]

I would be weird in our game because beards are such a huge part of the character customisation.

[delicate flax]

technically u could get away with editing the pitches ¯_(ツ)_/¯

most of the time it works

[pearl tinsel]

We need more giant moustaches

[raw ridge]

Except they're not

Not even talking about how community helped to develop their personalities like making Driller a psycho, but voicelines alone give them a little bit of personality, like Scout always complaining or being scared for his life

[shut tartan]

editing the pitches to make female dwarf voices out of a male voice?

idk if that's what you're referring to but i don't think it'd work

pitch is one of the last important factors in a voice being feminine

it helps but tone and weight are more important in general

[raw ridge]

Depends on what type of dwarvish female they will go with

There's the heavy smoker grandma

[shut tartan]

true

[raw ridge]

and then there's an irish petite godess

no in between

[shut tartan]

i'm basically just imagining a female version of the male dwarves we have now

gruff and mean

but just
woman addition®

[pure vessel]

Then grow one

[pure vessel]

This. Or the janitor from IT crowd.

[pure vessel]

Agreed. I don't think pitching is at all a good way to do it. An actor puts so much personality behind their voice that it's really hard to replicate with a pitch and just using the same male actor. It would be a disservice to the fans and the actors.

[raw ridge]

Voice actor update for DRG confirmed then?

[pure vessel]

No we are still working with Javier. He's still the OG

[median sleet]

Have lootbugs been added in Rogue Core?

[pure vessel]

I don't know 😦

[median sleet]

Sorry, but I can't buy the game if there aren't any lootbugs to kill

[wary tiger]

[tall plume]

pretty sure that's been asked already

you should check the pinned messages just in case

[wary tiger]

someone linked the answer already lol

[tall plume]

I just wanted to say to Repper to check the pinned messages

don't spoil my fun

no

[wary tiger]

NOOOOOO

my spoilage

gone

reduced to atoms

😔

[median sleet]

I am trying to nudge the devs into the correct direction

[queen sun]

add a giant secret lootbug boss

with guns

[median sleet]

Also checking pinned messages on mobile is so horrible rn and breaks everything

[tall plume]

fair point, completely forgot about thar

[sleek swallow]

all the 4 dwarves scream for their mom when they're falling off heights

where are you getting the scout being scared for his life from?

besides like those voicelines but I guess you just hear it as scout more often because you're dying from fall damage more often as scout

[long breach]

Maybe from the lines in the drop pod when first landing?

Sometimes they forgot their lunch box, other times they thing theyre all gonna die

And driller tells them to shut up because hes trying to sleep

[sleek swallow]

regardless of that I don't think it gets any deeper than flavor dialogue otherwise gunner and engi are just two dudes who never speak

given that most of the lines are repeated by every dwarf

like the one where they all just go "mommy!" while falling

[long breach]

Except for the landing lines, yeah

Excluding weapon specific lines too tho

[sleek swallow]

well landing lines just has driller and scout, even if they're not even present in the mission

[tall plume]

that's like

[sleek swallow]

you could be playing 4 gunners and you'll hear driller and scout

[tall plume]

the only instance of some personalisation of the dwarves

everything else is just made up

Ah no wait

there's also the rooms

there, that's the second instance

[long breach]

Yeah they kind of just put it in there for flavor

And those are the only lines that mods dont influence (afaik)

[tall plume]

bit weak to call it a fleshed on personality

one line of dialogue and one room display

[long breach]

The dwarves are kind of just the same flavor but presented differently in terms of voicelines

They get their identity from their tools and play style

[sleek swallow]

I am just saying it's not really that deep

[long breach]

Then their rooms are extra tidbits of lore and (eating) texture

[long breach]

They just be funni dwarf. Yeah

[sleek swallow]

there's not much to be invested about their personalities other than making stuff up based on what you think since they're pretty simple and one directional

[sharp salmon]

Why do you think I work here, that's my entire job.

[tall plume]

somehow never ratted out info to me

smh

[sleek swallow]

it's fine I am sure elric will drop an exclusive 2000 word long info dump and leak everything about rogue core at this very moment

[sharp salmon]

And then it turns out all the info was false.

[sleek swallow]

the power move

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-snapped-sad-gif-22165289

[long breach]

Thats very much headcanons and personal experiences tbh in terms of dwarf personality. Didnt GSG say that they arent going to make anything set in writing like for drg lore?

[sharp salmon]

I have my own headcanons.

[sleek swallow]

I mean rogue core will have some lore I guess

[long breach]

Share?👀

[sleek swallow]

but I doubt it would have that much to do with the dwarves themselves

but what do I know

[tall plume]

probably not

[sharp salmon]

My theory is that the Rivals are ants, they pilot the robots.

[sleek swallow]

ants are very sophisticated

if we didn't exist, ants would be ruling earth

for sure

[long breach]

Would glyphids eat ants tho?

Or is that actually a disguised rogue core leak? /j

[tall plume]

What made the core go rogue ?

ANTS

[long breach]

i wonder if some of hoxxes’ cave systems are just ant tunnels now😛

The ants tunneled too deep and angered the core

[wary tiger]

It's a core that's rogue.

But it's a good one, so I think it deserves a revival

[calm yoke]

Stealing ideas from the fans, smh

GSG has fallen

Millions must go rogue

[tawdry frigate]

...core.

[coarse oracle]

Hopefully we’ll get more Karl lore and an origin story for Steeve

[tawdry frigate]

at some point, error cube lore as well

although both seem like vague inside jokes (karl and cubes), so who knows.

[median sleet]

Rouge Corn post 🟥🌽

[lime tapir]

no karl is real

but

the error vines are my favourite

it would ve fun if error cubes and error spirals turned out to be some glitches in the matrix

[tawdry frigate]

i know everyone hates the rivals and the mode behind them in regular DRG, but other than that fact that they are just "the other opposing company," we know very little else behind them other than robotic automation.

[night drift]

Honestly, I really like Industrial Sabotage missions

[maiden fog]

Is the core still rogue, or no?

[rocky dove]

the core is currently in the process of rogueing

it will be rogue in november

[maiden fog]

man

I can't wait until the core rouges

it'll be epic

[delicate flax]

Me waiting for the core to rogue:

[cobalt ridge]

The core will rouge the corn before it rogues

[full cradle]

The core will rogue when it rogues, be patient.

[grand thistle]

yeah but when does the core go rouge

[quaint monolith]

I genuinely can't wait, I love ror2 and knowing they are making something similar but with the artstyle of drg makes my brain happy

[errant jacinth]

I just hope the game really truly leans into the "run based" progression aspect, where you are almost entirely dependent on RNG elements of individual runs, and due to such elements no two runs are alike. Otherwise, it's too similar to drg for me.

[old swift]

well the only meta progression stuff we've seen so far is the reclaimer suits, which seem like better versions of perks

and then starting guns but they're fully unupgraded so that should be all up to rng

[raw ridge]

I still think they are goblins

Goblins are often depicted as enemies of the dwarves

Would make sense if they were a rival company

One may say that they are weaker physically than dwarves and that's why they use robots instead

[olive narwhal]

Maybe duergar

But space goblins would be cool too

[somber patio]

is rogue core drg 2

[sly wolf]

No, its core that went rogue

[floral wave]

Mushroom core?

[celest viper]

Rival tech took over the core and modified all creatures inside

Modified Mother of all Dreadnaught

[vapid fulcrum]

So I wonder is roque core is as team oriented as DRG ?

[celest viper]

RC is max. 4 player coop game like drg but there are no specific classes like driller, gunner, engineer and scout.

You have to build up your position of the team by upgrading your ability and your weapons

That's what I know about RC team build system so far

[proven marten]

guys how rogue will the core be

[celest viper]

Core the rogue rogue for sure

[lime tapir]

rc is gonna be more like dwarf survival right

also nice pfp @vapid fulcrum

[compact shard]

Y'all ready to raid the rogue core constantly til the rare rocks are completely collected?

[west warren]

does look like teammates get a choice of perks and they can't pick the same one, so you'll have to coordinate there

unless that gets changed

[tall plume]

it's aimed to be, yes

contrary to most roguelite

[delicate flax]

ROGUE AND CORE!

[alpine gorge]

no

we dont say deep and galactic do we

[tall plume]

pretty sure the reclaimers will be sticking to rock and stone as well

no reason they wouldn't

[alpine gorge]

we all work for the same company never forget it

[clear moon]

Deep and Galactic

[pearl tinsel]

By the sounds of what andrews said they're considering somewhat unique personality between each of the characters this time?

[naive grove]

galactic and deep

[dull mason]

Any talk of persistent mechanics, progression will follow the player, if any, but will the planet itself persist in any way between runs?

[pearl tinsel]

I think they mentioned expenite being used for permanent upgrades, like starting weapons and such

[compact shard]

There’s talk of progression, unlock-able weapons and armor rigs

[dull mason]

yes to both, but im talking the planet also upgrading itself to your progression, too many power fantasies carried out by rouge-types, i want the planet to snowball against us is what im saying

[charred mason]

I have played some other games and noticed that DRG is a great game but has low system requirement.
This is still too soon but can you estimate the system requirement in RC ?

[manic sleet]

Can you play as the core in rogue core

[raven wharf]

And? Just means it’s playable on more hardware.

Rogue core uses the same engine version. System requirements will likely be similar.

[unique tiger]

Nice name, it makes me hungry.

[sleek quail]

guys?... I'm hyped :D... just needed to say that 🙂
will there be a VR mode for Rogue Core? 🤔 .... or will sooner or later be a Mod for it? 😅

[raven wharf]

Probably not

[tall plume]

doubtful for a VR mode, very likely for modders to make a VR mod though.

[pearl tinsel]

They did mention there will be harder and more difficult dives you can do I think, so it will definitely have scalability

[random crystal]

I thought that was the whole point of rogue core

I hope they add tyrant weed to all high haz missions

[late ledge]

Haz weed (every enemy is a tyweed)

[smoky bison]

When is rouge core to be released?

[median sleet]

Check the pinned messages

[random crystal]

yes please

[lime tapir]

when the core goes rogue

[idle iris]

[little sail]

so when will our core go rouge?

[sonic topaz]

imagine an even when you cant play the game for like 15 minute caus the core has gone rogue but like in the main game

it would prob suck

[full cradle]

how does a core go rogue without the crust?

[soft vessel]

I think it's getting launched alongside season 5 or something

I know they have similar themes

[west warren]

its supposed to have a closed alpha before s5 and says its gonna be early access in november

[vapid forge]

Oh so in -19 days

[pure vessel]

Sure, but I'm no artist

[delicate flax]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/18kzlra/anyone_know_which_victory_pose_this_engineer_has/ do you know what cosmetic this is

[pure vessel]

I can't remember what it's called, but it's from either season 03 or 04

[delicate flax]

is it obtainable?

[pure vessel]

Yes

[delicate flax]

ah thanks

[pure vessel]

If it's this season it should be in the season progession bar or the tree

if not, it's in one of the crates or something. I can't remember which treasure awards you with dances.

ah yeah it's called VP_Salt_S03, but it didn't make it into the game.

so you can't get it. The person in the video probably modded it in.

[delicate flax]

oh

i see thanks

[pure vessel]

But this happens with unused enemies and stuff too. A lot of unused stuff is still in the files, so modders can easily put it into the game.

[delicate flax]

was the stalker ever intended to be added or it just didn't fit the game's gameplay loop?

[pure vessel]

It was intended to be added, but we didn't not have enough artist muscle to finish it. Unfortunately. I hope it will make it into Season 05.

And if we have time I'd like for the Plover to make it in as well

[delicate flax]

ah

wait what the hell is the plover?

[pure vessel]

It's an old prototype enemy i made when i was an intern

it kind of inspired the Rockpox enemies

[delicate flax]

oh i see

[pure vessel]

but no promises. Often designers generate more content than there's time or ressources to finish.

[sly wolf]

And as we are on the topic, is there nay chance for some behind the scenes concept art stream or something? Im really interested in the process of designing rockpox

[delicate flax]

i'm sure the designers will be fresh and have more energy and new ideas from working on rc

[pure vessel]

I hope so. I think there's a lot of it in the Miro board, but last year we skipped that part because we lacked time I think.

[pure vessel]

I'm on Deep Rock season 05, not Rogue Core, but I'm also "new" so I come with a different approach and perspective I guess.

For better or for worse haha

[delicate flax]

oh

[pure vessel]

And by new I mean 3 years

[delicate flax]

[deep cipher]

All aboard the hype train

[sly wolf]

Going back to the plover for a moment, can u explain what it was supposed to do, or the probability of it getting added at some point makes u prefer to keep it a secret? (Or any other reason)

[pure vessel]

It attatches to enemies and buffs them greatly, forcing players to shoot them off first. They kind of become weakpoints.

[raven wharf]

One of the games I followed in early access (before I reconsidered buying early access) had regular streams hosted by artists while they were doing art things.

[deep cipher]

Kinda like the battery suckers on betsy

[pure vessel]

Yeah I think that will return. At least I know we want to.

[sly wolf]

Hmm, that reminds me of a thing, are there plans ofnexpanding charge sucker family to, for instance, infectingbmolly or other equipment?

[pure vessel]

There's concepts form way back, but nothing concrete. We might reuse it in some way. There was a concept that I tried to push for Rockpox, but ultimately it was too big of a workload.

[deep cipher]

I don't want molly to start running away like one of those elves xD

[sly wolf]

Alr, thanks for answering my questions ^^

[pure vessel]

However we want to expand most of the enemy familiies we have. I think people are bit tired of making more glyphids haha

Personally I'm not, but I understand why the veterans would like to explor the other families

[deep cipher]

That sounds great

[pure vessel]

But the Plover is an extension of the Naedocyte family

[raven wharf]

Now hear me out. Glyphid grunts except a different color. I’ll take my $300,000 check.

[pure vessel]

My idea was that the Stalker would not have a base color, but use the color scheme of Biomes instead.

[raven wharf]

And I’ll be applying to EA

[deep cipher]

Ooooooooh

Is the stalker a glyphid ? Lmao

[raven wharf]

So like a chameleon essentially. A material on the model for distorting the environment?

[pure vessel]

I don't know It might change. It started out as a glyphid. I wanted it to be related to the Slasher, a bit like the Praetorian is to the guard.

[deep cipher]

While true, the septic spitter and the prick scorpion are super cool design wise

[deep cipher]

That sounds like something that should exist, yes

[pure vessel]

The stalker could also be a new family or maybe a part of the Qronar

[pure vessel]

Yes.

A lot of the thoughts behind it is very much based on how chameleons and octopusses camouflage themselves

My wish is that it will scare the shit out of players

[raven wharf]

Could be interesting if it patiently waits to ambush the player. If it moves too much it may become easy to spot.

[deep cipher]

Don't make it plain invisible that wouldn't be fun

[olive narwhal]

Thinking like halo active camo?

[pure vessel]

I think it tries walking on the cieling and walls to avoid being easy to spot. It seemed to work fine, but of course some fine-tuning would be needed

[deep cipher]

Ugh an ambushing spider would be terrifying

[pure vessel]

it will have moments where i'd be plain invisible and completely invisible to give the players a chance

[raven wharf]

Either way I look forward to getting my grubby little mitts on it and breaking it.

[deep cipher]

Why not have it be camo all the time and be able to move by digging like the menace does

You could also have it be announced with creepy noises that make you know it's there and sweat about it

Especially if it waits to ambush you

[pure vessel]

It does dig to reposition if it gets caught. But again, much of this will most likely change.

I haven't had a chance to look at it since Season 04.

[deep cipher]

Still, very cool concept

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/abe-simpson-abe-simpson-cloud-yelling-cloud-angry-gif-12558964

Rogue core!

[deep cipher]

Scary aspects are needed in a game where you roam in caves full of spiders lmao

[pure vessel]

Rogue Core will be worth it. Promise!

People are laughing and screaming, having a good time playing. That's a good sign.

[deep cipher]

I'm obviously out of the picture but i can't help but imagine that it'll compete with DRG

In terms of redundancy

[pure vessel]

They're very different games. I think they'll be able to coexist.

[deep cipher]

That would be awesome

[sly wolf]

Not in the topic, and I know many many players already asked similiar question, but is there any reason why cursite enemies, cave vines and sentinels werent added to the bestiary to this day? It kinda weird, considering ebonite and other passive "environment" mobs are in here

[grand acorn]

Hi "on Deep Rock season 05, not Rogue Core, but I'm also "new" so I come with a different approach and perspective I guess.
For better or for worse haha" nice to meet you. I sell crack around here

you really need a shorter name

[long breach]

I completely forgot that the stalker exists in the files. And then I just realised I sketched a boss concept for Johan about a crab that camouflages with literal terrain on its back and sent it to Aaron yesterday that ran along the lines of this @.@
(idk if Aaron has sent it to the rest of the office yet though heh)

[pure vessel]

I have no idea.

[long breach]

I sent via email and Aaron reads them. I know he showed the other ones for Jacob and himself heh

idk how he's currently working remote tho due to timezones 🤷‍♀️

[pure vessel]

No, but he works in the basement and I'm in a completely different part of the office, so I haven't seen it 🙂 Jacob and him sit next to each other though.

[long breach]

😂

Eh, on stream at least the stream team are aware of the sketches I did. And the sukondis labels lmao

[pure vessel]

I saw the label though haha

good stuff

[long breach]

the sketches are for funnies. Just a little surprised what I just finished ran along the same lines that you guys already thought of doing 😂

I was looking at inspiration from the decorator crab and the masked hunter assassin bug tho

[deep cipher]

Great minds think alike

[sly wolf]

Sukondis labels?

😄

all of us miss aaron on the streams lmao

[sly wolf]

So u are telling me that devs like deez nuts?

[median sleet]

Is he no longer on the streams?

[long breach]

he's currently back in the US for the holidays and timezones be wack

I think it's 6am stream for him

[median sleet]

Ah, right thanks

[sly wolf]

He got moved to the basement for bad behaviour, Anders explained it to us few minutes ago

[pure vessel]

Jacob does

[pure vessel]

Not wrong

[long breach]

and cave leeches

I drew jacob as king cave leech

it was really fun

[pure vessel]

Yeah I saw that one too

[sly wolf]

Will Rogue Core contain Lootbog dworf?

[median sleet]

No lootbugs yet AFAIK, I have asked multiple times

I am sure if a ask every day they'll add them right?

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/david-rose-gif-3214199033367100027

[sly wolf]

Thats how it works, I think

[deep cipher]

Lootbugs may be a surface species

[pure vessel]

All your lootbug requests can be forwarded to Jacob

[median sleet]

Will do!

I would ping him but I'd definitly get a mute

[sly wolf]

I think anything that gets to the surface dies, outside maggots cause they are gigachads

[median sleet]

If there are minerals, there will be lootbugs

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-happy-rubbing-hand-hands-gif-11078537943884693254

[median sleet]

Are you encouraging me?

[deep cipher]

Surface as in not as deep as where rogue core takes place

[sly wolf]

U should do it, Jacob likes attention! 🙂
He will appreciate you!

[long breach]

Jacob coming in with ban hammer at mach 5

[deep cipher]

jacob pressing left + right click

[long breach]

Caves your skull in like that markiplier jump punch

[deep cipher]

Eons since i last heard that name

[tawdry frigate]

Is it possible to share further details on that overbearing Rockpox concept?
It's fine if you can't, of course.

From what I'm reading, it sounds like things would get infected in live gameplay, but that would mean literally all enemies and such would need compatibility.

[sly wolf]

@pure vessel I remember there were plans for adding throwing maggots at other players, this idea got abandoned or will it show in the game eventually? C::

[pure vessel]

What do you mean?

[pure vessel]

it turned into the shredder grenade

[tall plume]

I remember that concept

got digged out by The Historian

[pure vessel]

Yes. It was a task given to me by Mike when I was an intern. I think he also liked it.

[tawdry frigate]

I apologize, I should have just asked what did that concept that was denied due to the large workload entail.

[median sleet]

Is that the video with the fleeing warden that summons a swarm?

[pure vessel]

That was the Stalker 🙂

[tall plume]

believe so

[sly wolf]

So no maggots? :((

[pure vessel]

The Stalker begang as a Rockpox Variant of the slasher, but we liked it so much it turned into its own thing. But at that time we were so far into development that we dind't have time to finish it properly.

[sly wolf]

Hmm, are there any plans for eventually adding rockpox variants of most of the bestiary?

[tawdry frigate]

Oh I have bad reading comprehension then, you meant the Stalker mentioned later was part of it.

oops

[pure vessel]

No they're too powerful. They'd destroy excistence as we know it.

[pure vessel]

I don't think so. I believe we're done with Rockpox for now, but we really tried with a lot of our bestiary for season 04.

[devout scarab]

i remember them being super strong when we were still prototyping the grenade, lots of fun 🙂

[pure vessel]

Oh yeah we did prototype them.

[tawdry frigate]

Is most of the work writing the descriptions?

some are short, but some are as big as paragraphs

[pure vessel]

Have this guy instead #drg-gallery message

[sly wolf]

On the subject of maggots, why they dont have kill counter in the bestiary? There is few mobs without it and Im wondering why?

[tawdry frigate]

likely because they dont count as actual kills as-is

none of the friendlies do

[pure vessel]

Hmm. It depends, sometimes short gets the job done, othertimes I just feel a flow and write more. But in the end it's Robert who looks through it and adds the good stuff.

[pure vessel]

Because they're insignificant. Do you think about the ants you've stepped on in your life? DIdn't think so.

[tawdry frigate]

Oh you're the writer for them - that's cool

how much does Robert change them though?

[sly wolf]

Poor rockpox preatorians, the sore throat must be really annoying :((

[pure vessel]

Not always, I only write the ones I'm responsible for. Tim wrote a lot of them as well.

But most of them go through Robert for a cool finish

[pure vessel]

Sometimes he changes a lot or wordings mostly. I have the ideas, but I can't write like he can. He's really good.

But most of the description retain their essense, if that makes sense.

Robert is for sure the lore buff out of all of us. His input is greatly appreciated and makes some cool stuff.

[tawdry frigate]

Yeah it does, and it never hurts to have a lore master

[pure vessel]

He's also helping in shaping the Rogue Core lore

and from what I've seen it's really good.

And it's fun to help out sometimes. We talked names for the ship the Reclaimers use, etc.

[sly wolf]

Will rogue core have a bestiary and equivalent of "miners manual"?

[tawdry frigate]

i dont see why not personally

[tawdry frigate]

no more space rig

or is it, like, another drop pod

[tall plume]

I suggest you read the pinned messages too

which have a lot of info

[long breach]

That maggot is so beautifully cursed

[tawdry frigate]

Ah, thanks.

sorry about the questions, im just as curious as everyone else is

[pure vessel]

Most likely, but the game can be intense, so I don't think you'll be reading it during gameplay

[pure vessel]

I think the details are in the trailer and some of our steam posts.

[long breach]

Ramrod😄

[tawdry frigate]

Ah, alright. I've only watched the teaser trailer and forgot a few details.

[long breach]

(If i spelt it right lol)

Looking like the old space rig in ancient concept art

Are we allowed to ask about the new enemies currently being made for rogue core?

[tawdry frigate]

it's probaby hard to answer further without a lot of spoilers

[pure vessel]

While brainstorming the "If all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail" quote and liked the idea that the Reclaimers solve everything in one way (I.E firepower and violence). Not sure if Ramrod was decided upon because of that.

[median sleet]

Anders, what does the Sr. in your name mean?

[tawdry frigate]

Senior, likely.

[long breach]

Senior?

[pure vessel]

Yes, but I won't give you an answer. You'll have to keep your eyes peeled.

[pure vessel]

Senior 🙂

[median sleet]

Ah, thanks

[pure vessel]

It's because I'm Senior Designer and thoguht I was very funny and clever making up that name

[tawdry frigate]

im sorry but the first time i read it as jr.

[long breach]

I just remember Mike saying that the name came quickly in a dev stream. And he said it weirdly as “i forgot who’s mouth it birthed from” 🤣

[tawdry frigate]

im just so used to that one

[pure vessel]

Ah yeah I think that was me and Robert

But Ramrod was Robert

I just joined in on the brainstorm. We all kind of do. It helps get some fresh perspectives on something you're working on.

[tawdry frigate]

steeve as a name also came up rather fast... while drunk.

seems to be a pattern.

[long breach]

The steeve perk idea came while johan and someone else was drunk. Idk about the name steeve tho

It was probably mike who was also drunk

[pure vessel]

Probably

[long breach]

Now im wondering if anyone else came up with ideas while drunk during the gsg christmas celebration

[pure vessel]

usually drinkin is to STOP thinking, not the other way around

[pure vessel]

Woudln't be surprised

[long breach]

The way aaron described you guys playing with the lights is still so damn funny🤣

“Imagine a bunch of posh businessmen, then our side of the restaurant looks like a kid’s birthday party”

[tawdry frigate]

don't knock it 'til you try it

[pure vessel]

It was embarrasing haha. Very fancy restaurant.

[long breach]

Thats too funny and i wish i dont have the social anxiety to do something dumb like that😂😂

Its also pretty harmless so like, sounds like a good time lol

[pure vessel]

It was all in good fun. The staff didn't mine put did promptly put the lights back to the correct settings.

The danes are not very uptight in general

[median sleet]

Which stream was this?

[pure vessel]

not the one after because Aaron was hungover

[long breach]

Did the waiter actually not mind? Aaron said they had a bit of a sour look

[pure vessel]

Ok sure maybe they got annoyed

I wasn't at the table so I don't know

[long breach]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxvsm62A3B2wBzPmOGiZMLzo9zmD7BtHC8?si=Qr-aFYI659wVo7ob
I clipped it a while ago

The clip wasnt long enough for aaron to finish the story tho

[median sleet]

Lol, thanks

[long breach]

Youtube limiting clips to 60s max but aaron went on for like maybe 30s more or sth haha

[median sleet]

Yeah, I went to the livestream to watch the rest

The waiter locking the lights with a remote is hillarious lmao

[tall plume]

lesson learned : don't invite any of the GSG peeps to the restaurant

[long breach]

Their conclusion on stream was to have a no gamers policy😂

[pure vessel]

mayeb that's a good idea

I don't like fancy stuff anyway.

[median sleet]

It's fairly relatable though, I know that's exactly how I and my friends would act if we found out we could change the lights colour in a restaurant

Could be dining with a king and one of us would still mess with the lights if we could

[tall plume]

Agreed, fancy restaurant are overrated

[grand acorn]

@tall plume Can you email me the rogue core game files again? Had to reformat my computer and lost the ones I already had plus it's been a while and I lost the download links

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-the-simpsons-at-least-you-tried-fail-failure-gif-7859548

[grand acorn]

Hey what!

[median sleet]

So you unlock the Rogue Core content in DRG when you reach lvl 1000 right? I've only got 5 more levels to go

[tall plume]

I don't know, I'm not lvl 1000

[grand acorn]

Well then I demand a refund of those 16 bottles of burnt candle wax. NOW!

[long breach]

if thats the case, then where's mine?

[grand acorn]

no one told me I could've gotten it that way! Do you know how long it took to fill out those bottles?

it wasn't even the thick large candles..

[median sleet]

You gotta type rouge corn in chat 43 times first

[pure vessel]

You need to drink 1.000.000 leaf lovers then do 1000 rockpocs missions in a row, before Rogue Core unlocks

[long breach]

😂

[median sleet]

By the time you're done doing that the game will be in early access, so you aren't wrong

[long breach]

I forgot how much you like drinking leaf lovers lol

[sly wolf]

About early access, I never took part in anything like this outside drg survivor, will it be available for everyone like drg survivor demo, or only selected group od individuals will be able to play it? :X

[median sleet]

We'll probably get more info in 2024 about that

[long breach]

I think early access, you just buy it to play it. Select people with access is usually closed alpha tests

[median sleet]

There will be a closed alpha in early 2024 IIRC

[tall plume]

early access or alpha ?

[pure vessel]

I thinkk it might start out like that with a closed alpha, and then an open one later.

[tall plume]

those aren't the same thing

[pure vessel]

I don't believe we'll release a demo

It's a bit like we do with the DRG updates now where we have closed testers first and then experimental later.

[tall plume]

speaking of alpha

i see Dark Swarm finally got their own out

[pure vessel]

Really?

Might give it a try then.

[long breach]

Mark's discord profile is exposing him playing dark swarm closed alpha

[tall plume]

had a friend playing it yesterday

also Mark is indeed playing it rn
