[simple cloak]

I only know of the roadmap on Rogue Core's steam page, dunno if there's an updated one tho

[sleek swallow]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/548430/view/3716090245654886093

if you took a second to read the pinned messages

you'd see that

[pure vessel]

The one on the steampage is the newest one. We're still in Update 4 🙂

After that we probably have something new. If not I'll poke them.

[cedar kelp]

he meant another roadmap, a more updated one

he was aware the one you just sent

[pure vessel]

Also if you follow the Rogue Core steam page we also once in a while do updates

Like the below decks ones

[sleek swallow]

well nothing is not in the pinned messages

[cedar kelp]

and a simple question asking if there is an updated roadmap never hurted anyone

[sleek swallow]

never have I implied that

[cedar kelp]

you did look annoyed at the chance he may or may not read the pinned messages thus asking the question about the roadmap

[sleek swallow]

this is pointless, I just told them it's in the pinned messages, it's really not that deep

[pure vessel]

Regardless, we are still in update 4 according to the Roadmap on the Rogue Core steam page. I think it will be updated as soon as Update 5 begins.

[median sleet]

Will you rename the game to 'Le Core Rouge' in update 5?

[cedar kelp]

Le Coushe Rouge

[simple cloak]

Ye I've watched some of the below deck updates, interesting new machine and cool audio farming

[hollow bear]

Where's the map of the roadmap

[cedar kelp]

here:
O--------O-------O--------O------O

[cedar kelp]

it's a blank map, but a map nonetheless

[civic root]

DIY roadmap

[cedar kelp]

well yeah, I don't work for them I don't know what are they gonna do I just have the vague idea of the roadmap

[calm yoke]

Poke them anyway for some laughs.

[vagrant gate]

any steady info supply on rogue core? or do we have radio silence yet

[tall plume]

radio silence since, but I personally expect stuff coming with the anniversary stream at the end of February

[vagrant gate]

that would make sense, im very intrigued about the project

the gameplay, the content, the possibility of pararell updates and content

the lore and all that

[merry current]

so just hearing about rogue core very recently what is it exactly? expansion? different game?

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

it has all the info you need

[acoustic shell]

its still DRG but instead of the normal miners we play as, we instead play as Dwarven Reclaimers. Essentially spec ops for the company itself.

[merry current]

oohhh.... so it's like hades but it's coop

oohhhhhh....

[tall plume]

more like ultrakill

but yeah

[merry current]

aah yes ultrakill...

[tall plume]

wait no

not ultrakill

god damn it, i keep mixing Ultrakill and Gunfire Reborn for some god damn reason

[merry current]

if it's like ultra kill then you always start at the beginning?

[tall plume]

I meant more like Gunfire Reborn

[raven wharf]

I wouldn't say no to the gratuitous violence of ultrakill in RC.

[acoustic shell]

fr

[simple cloak]

popping glyphid heads and seeing green blood spew everywhere

[eternal cedar]

How do you get access to the game?

[old swift]

b&e currently

unknown otherwise

[calm yoke]

Hang on, I just realised, aren't you a bit behind on schedule then?

I figured update 5 progress would leak into 2024, but I thought you would be done with update 4 by the end of 2023.

[tawdry frigate]

Roadmaps should always be a grain of salt thing, since game development can change or alter at any point in time for any reason.

They're just nice estimations of when to expect things usually, until they're inevitably changed for the public if some sorts of delays or changes do happen.

Like what happened with Season 5 in regular DRG. That was delayed a bit.

[simple cloak]

AutoDwarves, rogue out

[cedar kelp]

🟥

[sly wolf]

Green triangle

[pure vessel]

I might be wrong, I think I saw it one the whiteboard. I'm on the DRG team, so I have no idea.

However stuff like that changes and right now Update 5 is just TBD

[pure vessel]

This

Update 4 however is going very well and the team is doing extremely cool stuff that I'm super excited to try out.

[calm yoke]

Anders mocking the plebs for getting early early access to new content, such leaf lover attitude...

[median sleet]

Just become a dev at GSG

Or pay me money, I'll buy Embracer stock with it and once I have enough I'll force GSG to give us early access. (That's how stocks work right?)

[native monolith]

What is everyone most looking forward to in this game? Mines either the new caves, the biblically accurate inspired enemies, or how the reclaimers are gonna act and what their personalities are compared to the mining branch

[pure vessel]

We have DRG anniversary stream coming up, but i'm not sure we'll tease Rogue Core stuff

It would be weird for us to stay silent for too long if new cool stuff is made.

So remember to follow the Rogue Core steam page 🙂

[calm yoke]

Implying I don't do that already.

Don't worry btw, I just jest, leave all the time the guys at rogue core need to work.

What about drg on the other hand?

[pure vessel]

I'm on DRG 🙂 Working hard on Season 5.

[median sleet]

devs have confirmed on stream they aren't renaming rogue core to 'Le Core Rouge'

[celest viper]

[median sleet]

Yeez I have started misspelling Rouge as Rogue

[celest viper]

It's Rogue not Rogue

[proven marten]

their sales just dropped down by 80% if not more

[vocal jewel]

it's a code rouge

not to be confused with a core rogue

[pearl tinsel]

We need more beers like randoweisser

[tall plume]

good

now get out

[hollow bear]

Where Rogue Map

[median sleet]

Never

[cedar kelp]

🟥 ------🟥 ------🟥 ------🟥

[stable glade]

Im so dang hyped for DRG: Rogue Core. I just want to express how impressed I am with the GS Crew. Ya'll have provided me hundreds of hours of entertainment. DRG is the game I convince my students to play and every single one of them loves it. My fingers are crossed to participate in the Closed Alpha, but regardless, Rogue Core is my most anticipated game for 2024

[balmy sky]

Lethal Company has got my hyped for the potential of Rogue Core. While I know it isn't strictly a rogue-lite, it does have a rogue-lite adjacent progression system with the accumulation of funds and resetting on death. It has me really excited to see the potential of a proper FPS rogue-lite. It also makes me hopeful that GSG will include Proximity Chat in Rogue Core, because that will make the experience more immersive and more potentially funny

[lean iris]

It would be cool if you could use the scouts grappling hook to ram into bugs or bring small bugs to you

[onyx lotus]

i am intrigued about participating in the closed Alpha myself when it comes, that being said i'm wondering if people can either stream or record their initial experiences, and ponder how full release might be while the Alpha is active

[high sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/don’t-make-me-beg-gif-18284150441593567102

im begging for some rouge core news ill take anything please just a crumb aNYTHING!!!!!

[raven wharf]

If it’s closed, my guess would probably lean towards no. Then again if they’re going with a larger group it may be allowed since it’ll be nearly impossible to keep it under wraps. All I know for certain is that when we test out updates before they go live to the experimental branch we can’t share that until it’s public.

[strange falcon]

I just want more ambitious goals from rogue.

[cedar kelp]

🟥

rouge

[merry pelican]

the what inspired enemies?

[native monolith]

In a recent dev stream Aaron(?) mentioned that the art team were discussing using biblically accurate angels from the Bible as inspiration for rogue core enemies during a lunch break

[sly wolf]

Do u like eyez?

[fresh canyon]

Ah sweet horrors beyond my comprehension

That would certainly be a fun tonal shift

I imagine we are going to encounter more dangerous eldritch horrors as we venture deeper

[median sleet]

Just played the roboquest demo, seems similar in concept to RC

[rose garden]

whats rogue core

[median sleet]

Read the pinned messages in this channel for all the info

[rose garden]

its actually rogue

[rose garden]

ty

[median sleet]

No, they're right

[rose garden]

nope

[median sleet]

They're not talking about rogue core, they're talking about the colour red. That's why they send the red square. In French rouge = red.

[rose garden]

huh

[median sleet]

Also it's a running joke in this chat to say rouge core instead of rogue core

[rose garden]

they replied to a person

talking abt rogue core

[median sleet]

Because some people actually misspell it as rouge

[rose garden]

oh i see

alright, my bad

[median sleet]

No worries, it's just what happens when a lot of people have to wait for a game to release

they start making awfull jokes

[rose garden]

i understand...

silksong 😔

[median sleet]

A mod gave me this name because I made the joke a few too many times

[rose garden]

oh...

[strange falcon]

Biggest changes we need to see in rogue:

1. 3 miners per mission instead of 4.
2. An incentive to keep the same group. Or at least fix the loop so being efficient doesn't mean having to quit after every mission because we all have different goals.

[tall plume]

[median sleet]

Why 3?

[fresh jetty]

one day a rogue mod will change the name of this chat to rouge-core-chat and there will be no survivors

or should I say... a rouge mod [THIS USER HAS BEEN BANNED]

[tall plume]

over my dead body

(we can't change the name anyway)

[fresh jetty]

one of the devs has the chance to do something really funny

[strange falcon]

@median sleet Good question. Lots of reasons for and against 3 vs 4 im sure. I think however the experience becomes more impactful when there's less people to lean on

every choice matters more.

[forest rain]

fellas

it's happened

rogue core chat is here

[cedar kelp]

been here for a while

[hollow wolf]

nah it just showed up today

[median sleet]

I prefer 4 players, If you want to play with 2 others you can just make your lobby private when they've joined

[strange falcon]

Meh, I think the games healthier with 3.

[ripe spear]

4 player coop is just standard

its not inherently good or bad

[short iron]

But if you have a consistent group of 4 already then someone gets axed

That’s not cool

[plush gazelle]

Will Rogue Core be paid?

[harsh lynx]

you'll have to buy it yes

[plush gazelle]

ALright

[sly wolf]

With magnite, yes

[plush gazelle]

ah ok ok

[wary flame]

Is the color of the rogue core rouge

[fresh jetty]

3 players is the worst, you always have to leave one of the homies out

[gritty sapphire]

So rogue core is a spin off that’s a rogue lite?

[fierce solstice]

Basically

Although rogue core is still canon to DRG's lore

[gritty sapphire]

Spin offs can be canon

Frasier is canon to cheers :P

[olive narwhal]

Drg lore finaly we will understand the evolutionary chain for lootbugs

[gritty sapphire]

Lootbug plush when

[fierce solstice]

or nothing

[hollow wolf]

They sold one in the past

Unsure if it is still available

[long breach]

there was a lootbug plush on for fans by fans, but they shut down, so no more merch 😔

(they bloody held a fan merch design competition right before they shut down and im still salty about it because me and a bunch of other artists put up some really cool art on there )

[gritty sapphire]

I think I found one on Amazon and while it’s cute it doesn’t fit the same kind of cuteness that the loot bug has

Oh there’s actually a couple on Amazon

[manic sleet]

Any news on an alpha test?

[median sleet]

No

Maybe during the anniversary stream

[upbeat swallow]

The anniversary stream is in Q1 if they drop the alpha then probably then (massive cope)

[median sleet]

Friday february second is 'national wear red day'. Red in French is Rouge, which sounds like Rogue. The closed alpha will be dropped on the second day of February

^ Important info, please pin it mods

[fresh jetty]

I never got the gold lootbug plushy 😔 it is my greatest regret. Every day I wonder if I wronged the dwarven gods and have been doomed to persist in this hopeless world.

[hidden hornet]

Mods when you say rogue core:
Mods when you sau rouge core:

[tall plume]

no

[strange falcon]

How are they going to have progression in a Rogue lite version of DRG?

The "chasing OCs" loop can't really exist if you're starting from nothing every time.

[fierce solstice]

There won't be OCs

And rogue lite, as its name implies, doesn't mean you always start with 0 items

[olive narwhal]

Will probably have some form of meta progression

[fierce solstice]

Some allows you to start with different weapons (dead cells for instance), others allow you to unlock new stuff as you progress through the game (binding of isaac, dead cells, noita, etc...)

[olive narwhal]

Ror is different characters and you unlock more stuff for the loot pool i think

[fierce solstice]

Correct

I'm fairly sure you won't get new characters in RC

but i'm certain you'll unlock new starting weapons

[olive narwhal]

Looks like different armour rigs

[fierce solstice]

that too

Different starting perks too

different tools if they plan to add them

You will upgrade your weps as well

[olive narwhal]

Im interested in seeing the alpha progress some time this quarter

[fierce solstice]

same

the game seems to be in a much darker mood than DRG

which is nice

[olive narwhal]

Looking at the below the deck stuff rc their are some cool weapon concepts

Neat designs my steam wish list is >50% drg

[fierce solstice]

DRGS had some very interesting weapons & OCs

So i hope that'll be the same for RC

[olive narwhal]

Rc is what they have when they are not trying to work with in a classes niche

And other balance mumbo jumbo probably

[hidden hornet]

Drg: rc best have remote control cars or bad game

[gritty sapphire]

Maybe we will get a lady dwarf uwu

[winged pier]

Can she make a grilled cheese?

[fresh jetty]

considering these are an elite team I suspect she could. Were she part of the normal mining crew, doubtful. You look me in the eyes and tell me any of them could make a grilled cheese. maybe engineer.

most of them are too drunk to do it competently

[west warren]

yeah they'd just get distracted and burn it

[fresh jetty]

driller 100% would use his flamethrower

[pearl tinsel]

This is why we need a sandwich deli next to the abyss bar

[fierce solstice]

There definitely should be a sandwich item to regenerate my health in RC

Something similar to dead cells where you can switch the item's sprite & name although it maintains the same effect

red sugar, sandwich, burger, baguette

[winged pier]

Engineer can always make anything.

If she can beat my Engineer's grilled cheese, she's hired.

[west warren]

engi would do some shit like put ketchup on it

[long breach]

Can we press E to poke the eyeballs we find in the rogue core?

[eternal cairn]

How many focus crystals will it take for me to be able to punch dreadnauts to death

Wait that's risk of rain, oops

[simple cloak]

Guys I’m trying to find a fun build with the Precision Charge Rifle mk2 as I just recently found it, any suggestions?

[cedar kelp]

damn game is not out yet and people are already discussing builds?

[median sleet]

I've been playing some roboquest and it's filling the Rogue Core hole. I think the devs should check it out, the weapon variety is great. Although I am less of a fan of how small the areas you fight in are, the robots also don't give a lot of feedback when you shoot them.

[cedar kelp]

they said it was gonna be like gunfire? you could try it see if you enjoy it more

or maybe that's an assumption we all did and agree on

[rare quarry]

We did check it out!

I would start frothing at the mouth every time I got my hands on punching gloves

[median sleet]

Yeah, the game has a bunch of great weapons, and I am only a few hours in

[olive narwhal]

im gonna give roboquests demo a lick but looks solid may fill that rogue core shaped hole

[celest viper]

When is the start of closed beta

[cedar kelp]

after the close alpha

[median sleet]

Disregard the statement about the small areas, it opens up a lot after the second boss

[fresh jetty]

yo melee weapons confirmed for rogue core?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[cedar kelp]

so are in DRG

[inland palm]

dam iv also been playing robo quest. I hope the devs take some inspiration from it

[lone sorrel]

is roboquest any good

[floral shuttle]

roboquest is great although the movement doesn't really fit deep rock imo, gun mods could be compared to the upgrades/overclocks in drg

[floral shuttle]

It's pretty good imo!

[lone sorrel]

oo

does it got like funky movement n shit

[floral shuttle]

it has sliding and rail grinding and lots of aerial options, double jump, enemy head jumping, jetpack, super jumps

so you can do quite a bit

[lone sorrel]

great

[floral shuttle]

but I think the gunplay is what really shines

[median sleet]

Agreed, the movement is decent but not perfect

And RC will definitely be closer to DRG in terms of movement than to Roboquest. Roboquest is kinda closer to a movement shooter with the high default movement speed and how easy it is to get even faster

But now that I think about it: When DRG gives us more movement options they're always really extreme (except for the perks). So maybe RC will also have some ways to go really fast

[hollow bear]

#bringbackdoublejump

[finite laurel]

It actually would be pretty interesting to see proper melee weapons implemented in Rogue Core

I don’t think they fit DRG with its class system but RC doesn’t have that

[sly wolf]

Please gsg, I wanna squash bugs with double handed warhammer

[prime turtle]

I know it might sound stupid but what is Rogue Core ?

I play with French version and some names are totally different

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages, it has all the info you need

[prime turtle]

Oooh thanks

I thought it was another weird missions translation or something

[hollow palm]

It’s got a grapple, a double jump, rocket jumping (no self damage) and some crazy air strafe stuff

If you like movement shooters and/or roguelikes, roboquest is def up there on

[civic root]

It's a good game

A roguelike borderlands if you must

It's like gunfire but more mobile and less furry

[weak charm]

i know this is late but roboquest can be a bit iffy

like the game itself is really fun but after an hour of playtime or so my movement started messing up in a gamebreaking way'

doesnt seem to be common tho

[weary quest]

i wanna play roboquest but ive already commited to gunfire and the dlc

[inland palm]

gunfire is just robo quest without the cool movement

[cedar kelp]

that's a stretch and a half but I lowkey agree

[hollow palm]

Gunfire focuses on the roguelite mechanics more

Both are very different experiences with unique focuses and strengths

Buuuuut Robots > Furries so buy gunfire, negative review it, refund it, play roboquest

[sleek swallow]

gunfire felt to me like if borderlands was a roguelike

[rugged vault]

So its like a roboquest rougelike?

Honestly i dont want it to be too much rougelike

Like deadcells

Now i do love deadcells amd have 5BC in it but its punishment for death is a bit severe

[delicate flax]

this is rogue core chat not lfg

[hollow rampart]

silk core

[tawdry frigate]

Here's me who owns and likes both games.

Although in terms of basic power fantasy I would say Gunfire scratches that itch a bit more sometimes, personally, unless you religiously play on Reincarnation.

Both games have meta upgrades, though, I will add; permanent buffs.
And so will DRG Rogue Core iirc, so it's all coming together in that space.

[visual blaze]

I enjoy gunfire

The cats special is fun

[forest rain]

hi

[sonic topaz]

what if we befriend the core instead of fighting it?

[severe nymph]

That would be nice

[inland palm]

that’s what robo quest feels like to me. Gunfire and robo quest are extremely similiar but different mainly in terms of movement and presentation imo. Iv played a lot more robo then gunfire tho and imo it def leans more into a movement shooter genre then both drg and refire. So I hope rogue core leans into more “free form” movement like robo quest since it’s now gonna be in the same genre. Progression over the course of a run is a lot more important then in 4 player coop experiences like the original drg so hopefully they take some inspiration from similiar titles. I def feel like blending drgs combat with more movement shooter esc aspects cud make it a ton of fun (but obvously i’m a pretty biased kek)

[sleek swallow]

it's definitely or at least a good chance not gonna be that heavy into momvenet unfortunately, given how the terrain is still gonna be destructible and that's probably still gonna weigh in, would be kinda redundant to have destructible terrain when you can just pretty much be like a drg scout and just use your moment ability to ignore it all

though I'd probably like it more too if we got more into movement

[limber pecan]

i'm gonna eat the rogue core

looks delicious

[inland palm]

Ik but a part of me hopes they go balls to the wall crazy near the end. Ever since s4 promo iv had in my head the idea of fighting the corruptor using jetty books in a huge vertical room. Obvously that prob wasn’t very realistic for drg but i hope the devs take the chance to really make this game feel a lot different with the potential for the dwarves to have “power creep”. Cus obvously one of the biggest differences, or even the single biggest difference, between rc and drg is that your upgrades in drg are static. Besides jetty boots ig. But rc being a rogue light like means there has to be mid game power leveling. So i hope to some degree the equipment and gameplay becomes increasing more intense to match whatever it is we are actually facing. I mean it cud be something that’s as simple as getting jetty boots as we start to fight in larger rooms with more complicated geometry. I don’t think stuff like that is like absolutely necessary for the game to do well or anything but i think it wud be fun and play to some of the strengths it can have over drg, where your power level is entirely static for the mission duration

[sleek swallow]

I mean I suppose I did forget about that part that we could just simply go past certain things

it could happen mid game or late game

starting slow

then ramp up

so the destructible terrain wouldn't even be redundant, just at some point you don't have to really use that or minimally use it

[inland palm]

Ye exactly, there’s a lot of opportunity for slower pace progression that gradually builds into more chaotic combat near the end of run. Which imo is really one of the most fun things about roguelikes that i think wud feel sick in drg

[sleek swallow]

yeah I'd definitely see it possibly happening now

[inland palm]

ye i’m not picturing anything as fast pace as doom or something but just gradually adding to the players arsenal so that by then end you feel stronger. Also whatever enemies they add can be adjusted to be a lot more dangerous and RC specific because by the end of a run i’d imagine ur a lot stronger then a normal “original drg” player

Cus more tools also means you can make more unique enemies designed to respond and interact with them. Which would probably help in making sure the game can retain a strong unique identity compared to the original

Sorry for rambling i’m slightly drunk and going slep now

[sleek swallow]

heh all good, you raise a bunch of good points anyways and I really do hope we get something like that

[pure vessel]

I think you'll be pleased

[median sleet]

The bosses in Roboquest are also a lot of fun and very creative.

Though having bosses like that in RC is gonna be harder unles you fight them in an arena with terrain that can't be destroyed

[pure vessel]

I can reveal that Mike the lead designer on Rogue Core has played tons of Roboquest and loved it

so expect it to have inspired some decisions here and there

[crystal sleet]

Yall know how much rogue core will cost, or haven't yall decided yet?

[hollow bear]

RC has gunk seeds confirmed?

[median sleet]

Probably around the same as DRG

[pure vessel]

I don't think it's been decided upon. I think it's easier to say when we're closer to an early access release.

There's a lot of considerations to be taken before the right price can be determined.

[frigid path]

Rogue Core should cost 1 Labour of Love award each

[hollow bear]

I'd gladly pay 10 John Marstons for Rogue Core

[vocal jewel]

I have 14

[harsh lynx]

when Rogue Core comes out, we need to make it our mission to get DRG labour of love at the same time as DRG:RC gets another steam award

[inland palm]

man i can’t wait to see what you guys come up with

[unreal furnace]

What was the timeline for release now again?

[brave oriole]

Check pinned, theres a roadmap

[unreal furnace]

Oh right forgot about the roadmap

[tawdry frigate]

Some developers make Early Access a bit cheaper than their expected end point unless the eventual base price is already quite low. It makes testing a bit easier since more can get into it early and it sort of assists in funding.

First come first served price basis with the drawback of having to expect a less-detailed product for a few years.

[median sleet]

IIRC that's the plan

[celest viper]

[meager jungle]

and the karl rogue core'd everywhere

and said

'i am the deep rock galactic: rogue core'

[hybrid owl]

I have question about rogue core. Will there be any kind of permenant progression?

[tall plume]

meta unlocks are likely, yes

[fierce solstice]

As it's a roguelite there will definitely be permanent unlocks

[hybrid owl]

So its not like we start 100% over every game?

I dont tend to play roguelites. I enjoy progressing a character

So Im not super familiar with them

[olive narwhal]

Will probably have form of meta progression as said probably along the lines of ror2 characters and loot unlocks

To add to the pool

[hybrid owl]

When you say meta progression, what could that be?

Im not familiar with the term

[olive narwhal]

Since its said their are different armour rigs

Uh i think it is a term for permanent progression or smth

[hybrid owl]

oh

[olive narwhal]

Others probably know gooder

[fierce solstice]

The point of roguelites is that you can start over while unlocking new content, which could be used before starting a run or throughout a run

[tall plume]

It's a term used for progression outside of the gameplay loop. Weapon upgrades and overclocks in DRG are meta progression, in that sense.

[fierce solstice]

Binding of isaac doesn't let you choose items at the start of a run so you always start "naked"

but you get new items over time

in dead cells you can pick your starting weapon iirc

in several shoot'em up you can also pick different starting gears

etc

[hybrid owl]

Sorry had a guest over

I think Ill give rogue core a chance when it release

Especially considering how fantastic deep rock is. Im sure the devs can release another great game

[pearl tinsel]

Dead cells has most of its equipment and upgrades locked behind meta upgrades yes

[last pond]

Also some permanent abilities

Like the wall jump, and climbing ropes

Or ||detaching your head||

[full turtle]

Is rogue core gonna be on game pass as well?

[next crater]

It's only going on Steam in Early Access initially.

[pearl tinsel]

Is there a chance that a handful of rogue core's guns get added into DRG proper in the far future?

[upbeat sphinx]

I'd like to think the devs would add anything which improves upon the game.

More guns in DRG would be a very welcome addition, yet it has to be done properly. As with a 5th playable character.

[acoustic obsidian]

We will never have another class in DRG it's way too much work. As for new weapons, we got 6 of them a year ago so you will have to very patient as it takes a considerable amount of time to prototype everything and implement it (if we ever get new weapons at all)

[upbeat sphinx]

I reckon we're good if we don't get more weapons.

Just further overclocks and such goes far. The weapons fit their class, they all fit a niche.

[acoustic obsidian]

Also Sindre if you want to talk about DRG go to #drg-chat it's way more active

[upbeat sphinx]

Dw, I was just adding to Chipper's message above.

[acoustic obsidian]

Roger that

[pure vessel]

I'm pretty sure that's the plan. Let's see when we get closer to early access.

[pure vessel]

No, they work differently. It's more likely we make found weapons instead that fit the gameplay of DRG better.

[tawdry frigate]

There's plenty of folks who'd get Rogue Core day 1 (me included), but yeah, news about how that'll work will come in due time.

[pure vessel]

No plans. Steam first.

[pure vessel]

You will likely get new weapons, but not in the near future. Working on new weapons and overclocks will probably span over several months of dev time. Back in season 1 and 2, just making mods and overclocks for each weapon could easily take a month each. However the frameworks for each weapons that get added retroactively is even more work.

[acoustic obsidian]

Anders hello ! Thank you very much for clearing that up I always thought it was too close to being a no. I hope the playerbase will remain patient Although I have one big concern : the overclock grind. I hope the Ghost Ship Game team will find a way to make both new and old players happy (@upbeat sphinx a dev answered !!!! we are blessed )

this be a rock and stone moment

leaf lovers to pour on the glyphids are on me

[pearl tinsel]

as long as it's still on the table, that's really awesome to hear

[inland palm]

ye it’s probably on the long list of back burner items like new ocs and perk rework

[gilded rivet]

I was wondering if there will be some of the bugs from drg or completely new enemy bugs? and will there also be the rival company?

[tall plume]

pinned messages for details

[simple cloak]

a

[tranquil fulcrum]

does anybody know when early access will start coming out?

[median sleet]

November

[soft moss]

Where game

[pine skiff]

The game is set on Hoxxes IV

[hidden hornet]

Nah it's set on hoxxes V/j

[pure vessel]

It's not a no, it just won't be planned for let's say season 6 and be able to go out that season, because the workload would be more than 2 seasons worth I'd wager.

So new weapons would come at the cost of content in a previous season, and that's a tough decision to make, and it's not our biggest priority right now.

In case of the overclock grind I think the cosmetic overclocks are the worst offenders, especially because of seasons, and we might be able to do something. I'll bring it up with the team, but no promises as we don't entirely agree internally on how or if.

[calm yoke]

Does it say anything about returning foes? Don't recall.

[bright sandal]

Mate, you're doing Moradin's work, don't ever stress about releasing content at its desired pace. Lords know, I'd like a mess hall on the Space Rig, but a good design for a sandwich shop would take proper time to implement. If people want their cosmetics, they can grind and fight for them, we'll get them all eventually. Work your magic, and let us handle the bugs.
(Also, I do want sandwich time. The bacon shuttle's been late too many times, we need our nutrients and that means BLTs) 🥪

[native monolith]

All enemies from drg are returning to rogue core iirc

[calm yoke]

I pity the new players who will have to learn all the old enemies on top of the new ones, in that case

While the longbeards try to take on whatever the rogue core has at us, the greenbeard will be like "why is this orange glowing bug hissing?"

[native monolith]

I think that will be a fairly small niche

Don’t know why you would play rogue core but not drg unless you only are playing because it’s a roguelike lmao

[calm yoke]

There will still be players who didn't try out drg first

You can't not account for that, new player experience is always important

[pure vessel]

There's ways to achieve that. You could just introduce them later in the game.

[calm yoke]

Screw that, throw a bulk at them the first mission!

[cedar kelp]

there was a bug that in the tutorial a bulk could spawn in DRG

I hope that bug comes back in roUGe core

[sly wolf]

I love rouge core

[native monolith]

Tutorial mission - cave leech cluster + haunted cave

I don’t see the problem here

[old swift]

i mean most games throw enemies right at you, including drg

they're all new enemies to a new player

ofc difficulty setting dictates that more though

[tall plume]

i thought the QA from Robert answered that specific question

[calm yoke]

The interview with drg historian?

[tall plume]

Isn't it Mike in the interview ?
and no, I'm talking about the pinned reddit post with the transcription of the QA by Yoshkin. Though I'm pretty sure the interview also answer that tho.

[calm yoke]

Kk, I still have to check those out

I am still stuck at the blog post from steam back at the announcement

[iron vault]

Orange glowing bug?

... the leech?

[calm yoke]

Exploder says hi

[iron vault]

Oh right, exploders

[odd tiger]

Im completely out of the loop, but came here to ask one thin g: any news on rogue core pre alpha sign ups?

[tawdry frigate]

While I'm not a team member:

Rogue Core might get its beta within the next few months. There is still no specific date for it.

And if there is no test, it'll likely be a cheaper Early Access launch.

The other spin-off, Survivor, had its own test happen a few months ago.

[odd tiger]

Ok, just thought i saw something on the roadmap about something happening with rogue core in january

but maybe it was just Q1

[tawdry frigate]

Quarter 1 means between January and March, which still means any early testing is pretty soon.

Time flies.

[odd tiger]

yeah ik

[raven wharf]

Oh shit I forgot about the closed alpha this quarter.

[hidden hornet]

Well if it isn't this month it could be feburary and if it isn't feburary then it's most likely march

[simple cloak]

and if not March it'll come when it's ready

[pure vessel]

We have anniversary stream sometime next month I think, so there's probably going to be more news then

[simple cloak]

I was hoping it was gonna be an adult romance

[hollow bear]

Who said it wasn't?

[olive narwhal]

Adult romance can still be a video game

[icy edge]

Had a second dream about rouge core. My brain is melting

I really hope the testing comes soon

[delicate flax]

i must sign up to become a rog'ue core beta tester or something

[sacred tundra]

You should make beta testing for rogue core exclusive to greybeard rank

[sly wolf]

New players opinion is as important

[sacred tundra]

That would be kind of funny I think

[earnest fulcrum]

Make it so anyone who’s drank leaf lovers in the past 6 months can’t buy the game

[sacred tundra]

True!

[tall plume]

[raven wharf]

Nothing like restricting people from even attempting to play the closed build for no good reason.

[icy edge]

Let my dreams come true please

[hollow bear]

Soon™

[zinc jolt]

i hope c4 will be in rogue core

[olive narwhal]

I hope rogue core will have guns

[tacit robin]

only hammers and axes

[sacred tundra]

🤓

[earnest fulcrum]

I hope rogue core has an actual nuke launcher

[sly wolf]

I hope rogue core has dwarves of some kind

[hidden wadi]

I hope rogue core will have breathers

[pearl tinsel]

Rogue core will have seethers and malders instead of breathers

[tall plume]

soo like regular DRG

[west warren]

they should make a giant breather boss that leans over and bites u

[hidden hornet]

No

It should intensively breathe on you
You take weird feeling damage from the attack

[faint aspen]

how about the wall of cave peepers: take social awkwardness so long as they stare at you so you have to get behind cover to avoid their ionizing gaze?

[west warren]

itd be cool to go in a cave that is like totally overrun with wall eyes and maybe other wall parts that can attack

like fighting a big cave wall creature from the inside

[hidden hornet]

Would be cool to see new varients of wall eyes, giving more onto the lore of those wall peepers

[west warren]

yeah

[hidden hornet]

How about wall noses?

[west warren]

thatd be good

[hidden hornet]

They smell you and curl up in disgust because you smell like glyphid guts

[pine skiff]

I hope rogue core has cave bacon

[hidden hornet]

If they do they better have cave toast, cave tomatoes and cave lettuce so we can make a cave blt

[celest crypt]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before but what exactly are we getting? Im told Season 5 is coming out in May. But every youtuber and article just keeps talking about Rogue Core which will be a different video game altogether. So are we getting Season 5 or are we getting Rogue Core?

[wide ruin]

Season 5 i believe is june???

[celest crypt]

Ok

Season 5. Closed testing is planned to begin this quarter with early access towards the end of the year for Rogue Core.

[tall plume]

"keeps" ?
they're just making two.

[raven wharf]

They're making a second game as a spinoff.

You're confusing ghost ship publishing with ghost ship games.

[crystal sleet]

can rogue core have edible uranium...

[last pond]

Personally I want edible dystrum

[crystal sleet]

or morkite

blueberry flavored minerals... yum

[last pond]

Tasty

[crystal sleet]

green apple flavored minerals... yum umanite

grape flavored minerals... yummy hollomite

[tall plume]

the only ore you get is expenite, sorry not sorry !

[crystal sleet]

what flavor is that?

[last pond]

hopefully strawberry

[tall plume]

avocado

[last pond]

man I can't have avocados

is it at least fake avocado flavor so I can still have some

[crystal sleet]

yoooo

expenite is green or brown confirmed!?

[tall plume]

if I'm not mistaken, Rogue Core store page has screenshots of it

and it looks green

like

whops, wrong link

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2605790/ss_dd6c673520ededcf6cc7515228491e97bdeb12aa.1920x1080.jpg?t=1696512821

I fully expect this to be expenite

maybe I'm mistaken tho

[last pond]

looks pretty

[tall plume]

watch it ends up being completely unrelated

[raven wharf]

huh maybe I should look more at what's been shared publicly

alternatively that could possibly be passed off as a caustic mire screenshot

[tall plume]

the fabled caustic mire

[raven wharf]

I still have footage of it

[tall plume]

damn

never got to see much of it myself

just a quick vid

[raven wharf]

It was only accessible through a deep dive

[tall plume]

not that there was a lot to see anyway

if I recall, they just had the basic framework generation, right ?

[raven wharf]

yup

no special biome features

[tall plume]

yeah I remember seeing this stuff

[raven wharf]

Gotta say, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the environments in RC.

Maybe we'll get a real caustic mire.

[tall plume]

Same, the look of that biome on the screenshots is ominous

i wanna see more

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2605790/ss_8466eb6f5ea3b61a2a2bdd57bf92bbaf7a2387c2.1920x1080.jpg?t=1696512821

it looks really cool

[old swift]

would be nice for more detailed stalagmites or rock formations like that added to older drg biomes too, like crystalline

[pearl tinsel]

Hollow grotto has more detailed stalagtites than like anything else in the game

I do find it odd that they'd be considering adding a new biome for season 5 unless it's rogue core related, but I feel like straight up porting one of rogue core's biomes might not make a ton of sense since the games are supposed to be ocurring in parallel

[long breach]

Looks like spicy / electric jadiz

[timid crypt]

is rogue core gonna be using unreal 5?

[pearl tinsel]

It's using whatever drg is using

[timid crypt]

Unreal 4?

[pearl tinsel]

I don't know tbh

[olive narwhal]

unreal 4 im pretty sure

[sly wolf]

Why? Season 5 and RC are taking place in the same location, just different time frames

[median sleet]

Actually; that's cheapite. It makes you lose upgrades

[eager narwhal]

Does anyone have information about the Rogue Core alpha test? How to attend and about when?

[median sleet]

No info yet

Maybe during the anniversary stream in about a month

[eager narwhal]

I only today actually learned about the Rogue Core and got interested. Roadmap said that Q1 of 2024 so thought I'd ask here.

DRG is one of my all time favourite games, I hope it doesn't get abandoned after Season 6 and Rogue Core.

[pure vessel]

That's not a very good testing case. We need all kinds of players.

[pure vessel]

Done. You now have to drink 1 million leaf lovers to get access. Or else the exe will delete itself.

[pure vessel]

Yes you are getting Season 05 around June.

[pure vessel]

Usually we don't reveal anything about the season before a month before release 🙂 You'll however get an overview through an updated Roadmap around the time we have our anniversary stream

[pure vessel]

We are not making new games, except Rogue Core. We are only publishing the others you keep hearing about such as Dark Swarm, DRG Survivor, Dino Lords and Spellrogue.

[pure vessel]

I tihnk it might? I head talks about it at least.

[celest crypt]

Thanks for the clarity without bombarding me with sarcasm. I'll be around if you guys ever need a mod that doesn't insult newcomers.

[wide ruin]

Last time i checked the mods we already have dont do that 💀

[celest crypt]

Pretty sure "smartass" and passive aggressive sarcasm counts as insults but okay

"Next time you will read the pinned comments." Because thats how we talk to people, right?

[wide ruin]

Thats great and all but you literally just asked for mod, while indirectly insulting the current moderators who, from my experience, are great people

Thats not very rock and stone

Anyways would season 5 possibly include a few sneakpeaks to rogue core content, considering it is a prelude?

Be it biomes, missions, enemies, weapons or mechanics?

Because that would be cool and would definitely quell the growing pain of anticipation before the early access throws itself at us like an elite grabber

[kind trout]

[royal axle]

How much are we willing to bet that people are gonna be surprised that the servers are gonna have issues in the first 1 or 2 days when the early access comes out

[median sleet]

I doubt it, since it's a p2p game

[forest rain]

the hells a rogue core

[median sleet]

Check the pins, it's a new game being made by GSG

[forest rain]

ooooo

that sounds badass

whats the price point gonna be though

[median sleet]

When it fully releases probably around the same as DRG

[forest rain]

so 30 buckeroonies

[median sleet]

But during early access it's most likely gonna be cheaper

[forest rain]

i see

[median sleet]

'The price of the game will be reduced while in Early Access to reflect its unfinished state. As with our previous game we intend to bring the price up once the game is Fully Released.' From the Steam page

[forest rain]

so i heard it's spelled rouge

[median sleet]

That's correct

[forest rain]

or orueg

one of them

[royal axle]

Fair point

[calm yoke]

A core that has gone rogue

[harsh lynx]

while I agree that there definitely were some passive aggressiveness (on both ends), something I think you need to take into account: there are tons of people who are saying the exact same thing as you were, and almost every time it is because they do not really understand the situation and haven't bothered to inform themselves fully before going up in arms. The fact that there are so many people who ask the same question over and over, even when the info is freely available, combined with the fact that you specifically continued to back up your wrong assumptions despite being told where to inform yourself, and I find it the response from Ser Pounce, which at the end of the day was barely an insult at all, completely reasonable. As an exercise try searching for how many times Ser Pounce has said pins in rogue core chat, and maybe you might understand better

[pure vessel]

That's the plan. We're still discussing internally far we should go.

With all the feedback we haven't gotten in case of seasons etc. we are trying to strike a good balance.

[pine skiff]

S5: we set up the core and tell it we need a wizard in the party

December: the core has gone rogue

[sly wolf]

I hate it when the core goes rogue

[crystal abyss]

What's the premise of Rogue Core? Is it still dwarfy?

I will likely check it out either way, just curious

[pine skiff]

Yes, still 4-player dwarf co-op shooting, but with a roguelike premise

Probably less focus on mining but will still have pickaxes and destructible terrain

[crystal abyss]

Oooohhhh.

Definitely interested in that.

Thank you!

[native monolith]

Basically a mining operation in the core of hoxxes has went dark, and the mining corp couldn’t reach them, so drg sent in the “reclaimers”

Who are basically drgs spec ops

[crystal abyss]

Oh hell yeah.

This sounds like an amazing idea! Can't wait to see it come together!

Do the devs have any plans for crossover rewards? i.e. completing certain tasks/milestones can grant you rewards for DRG too and vice versa?

[hollow bear]

No announcements regarding that yet. I'd say it's a possibility, but it hasn't been mentioned whatsoever beyond being tied to Season 5 story-wise

[pearl tinsel]

I think the biggest draw with the past seasons content was the amount of times people were required to play the same couple of season events and cave mutators over and over. It can get old fast when you've been encountering the same meteorites and lithophage spikes for over a year. Rivals and especially rockpox were also extremely difficult or frustrating until they got nerfed down to a more reasonable level after their seasons were over. Also I personally think sabotage is a really fun mission type now and I think it was kind of a missed oppurtunity to not make outbreak its own dedicated mission type as well since now it's going to become rather uncommon despite having a pretty sizeable amount of content within it

[sacred tundra]

When the corn is roge

[crystal abyss]

Sick. Thank you!

Do we know if there's multiple platform release planned or if it'll be Steam first and other platforms at a later date?

(Sorry for all the questions, just really excited about this now)

[median sleet]

Steam first

[crystal abyss]

Sadge, but expected! Thank you!

[ember meteor]

so im checking the steam page, has it been updated? it still says we're on upate 4 and im curious about how thats coming along

oh its still january, right, my sense of time is totally fucked

[pure vessel]

No plans. Not dismissive, but no plans.

[pure vessel]

We are aware. and are going to address it in future seasons, for instance with more opt in content, but we are still looking into potential solutions. In regards to the mission the lithophage warning sort of works like a new "mission", and will keep it that way.

[pure vessel]

Steam first. Consoles are likely, but not planned.

[pure vessel]

We may have more news next month when we have our anniversary stream.

[pearl tinsel]

Well that's kinda what I mean, unless the infected region mechanic is sticking around then outbreak is going to become rather obscure despite it being its own sort of mission type

[pure vessel]

We haven't decided on how we are handling it yet, so it will most likely change.

[pearl tinsel]

Fair enough

[earnest fulcrum]

Idk why but the idea of everything in the core all going dark at the same time without any prior warning or any increase in retaliation from the stuff down there is cool

Whether it all goes out at once instantly or each goes dark one by one in a span of a few minutes

[sacred tundra]

Will there be dwarves in rogue core

[tall plume]

yes

[pure vessel]

Maybe

[pearl tinsel]

Can we have a gnome

[hollow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/gnome-gnomed-youve-been-gnomed-heart-gif-25108009

[wide ruin]

I mean we hsve the kobold mod for deep rock galactic

Dont see why we wont get the deep rock rogue core gnome experience soon

Then they can both fight

[pearl tinsel]

Fight? Don't you mean make out?

[wide ruin]

Kobolds and gnomes are similar to dwarves and elves in despising eachother

Dnd stuff

No I meant dwarves and gnomes

Deep rock goblins

I'm pretty sure we'll be getting new classes (or no classes at all) either way I'm excited

[raven wharf]

Just one class the melee medic

[wide ruin]

XD

The drg youtubers absolutely devouring that misinformation like a singularity:

[simple cloak]

takes screenshot of the message, puts a red circle on new classes and a random red arrow pointing at the circle

[pearl tinsel]

The dwarves are going to be classless from what we know

[forest rain]

For people that have been following development of rogue core closely(I haven't as much as I should), how good is the game compared to regular drg? I've heard many things, from enter the gungeon in space, to a combination of risk of rain and minecraft. It's safe to say that what I've heard from friends is an exaduration at best, so I wanted to hear from you guys, "the experts", on what this game will be exactly.

[pearl tinsel]

We don't really know, we've only had a few details released about it in steam posts and there's been no actual gameplay footage released iirc

Closest things to it that are out on the market right now are probably roboquest and gunfire reborn from what little details we've been given

[forest rain]

Ok, thanks though. I'm excited to see what comes of this game in the future. Rock and stone my dude, rock and stone.

[pearl tinsel]

It's going to have a lot of stuff shared with drg, like ported enemies, weapons, and tools, and destructible procedural terrain, and it's planned to have a somewhat similar structure to deep dives but with extra stages. And it's of course a roguelite so you start over with basically nothing every run

[forest rain]

The way I've heard it described you like start some kind of ship, like the breach basically, customize your kit, and then go in and try to make it as deep as possible through abandoned mining stations and spooky caves. The one thing I thought sounded horrible and didn't fit though was like that you get upgrades that make minor stat changes to your character, or are just perks, and doesn't really leave a lot of room for the creativity you have in drg with tailoring a loadout to your own playstyle and favorite parts of the game. Idk though, I'm stupid mostly so I might not know how it works exactly, and the information I have could be inaccurate.

[old swift]

initially i thought so as well but those upgrades are pretty standard in games like these

[pearl tinsel]

It's a roguelite so the upgrades you get will be random so there won't be as much tailoring weapons or anything, you'll have to work with what you're given over the course of run. We also have no idea what kind of upgrades those will end up being in the final product

[old swift]

smaller stat increase perks mixed in with more infrequent big perks that add some sort of new mechanic

[pearl tinsel]

Yeah that's common for roguelites

Roboquest has a very similar method and so does risk of rain

[forest rain]

Grinding for overclocks but they reset every run

[pearl tinsel]

There won't be overclocks

[old swift]

roboquest's perk selection/upgrade system is actually pretty similar to the screen shown on the store page

[forest rain]

Nah I just meant upgrades but like... in the rng way that overclocks are in base game

[old swift]

and it has hardly any affect on the pacing of the game since you get down time between clearing rooms, which i assume will be the case with finding mining stations or other buildings

[forest rain]

Yah

It is a roguelite though you said so I guess some kind of progression is kept, but I'm assuming just like options to change runs and things.

[pearl tinsel]

Roboquest alsp just pauses the game when you select a perk

[old swift]

not in co-op, but there's a bunch of downtime anyway where the clock pauses

[pearl tinsel]

I think there's going to be some permanent upgrades and unlockable weapons to probably appear in the run pool as well as probably modifying your starting loadout

I imagine having a starter traversal tool will be an unlockable thing so you don't always have to find one

But that's just speculation

[forest rain]

Idk, but it would an absolute waste of a game if they don't take the opportunity to flesh out the lore of the world. I was actually on the edge of my seat last season when the whole other station getting hit with a rockpox meteor thing happened and I think that the story telling could be really good there(like how you piece it together over runs), like in gungeon

[pearl tinsel]

GSG is the kinda devs where the story is mostly there to give the player context for what's happening in their game

They've said several times that they don't really care about it too much which is lame but it is what it is I guess

[forest rain]

But like maybe in the prelude season we get like error cube Bosco because the cubes are like relating to mysteries within the core of hoxxes(like in rogue core). Maybe a stretch, but I've just got so many cubes with no use, and they're so silly.

Idk, they've done cool lore things before, and it's definitely a part of the game, whether or not it's important to the devs

[pearl tinsel]

Would be neat if season 5 gave the cubes some sort of use yeah

[burnt flume]

Special machine events that can give us clues about the previous dwarf generations and mayhaps some Karl lore? 👀

[pure vessel]

We care, but by giving the context for gameplay and keeping the story vague, the players fill the blanks way better than anything we could ever write. And we prefer it that way.

[fierce solstice]

Can you make my pfp into one of the rogue core emotes ?

Unless you want the weird burst fire where all the recoil happens at the end

[west warren]

they probably just using leadspray

[median sleet]

...maybe

[pearl tinsel]

Brt is pretty damn accurate besides lead spray if you take the accuracy and recoil mods

[storm flax]

dude rogue core looks like everything i need in a game

ror2 + deep rock

[fickle iris]

Any news about rogue core?

[cedar kelp]

still roguing

still rouge

yet not quite core

[simple cloak]

Let the core cook

[agile comet]

that would be SO BAD for the planet

[simple cloak]

Nah let em cook, the core is preparing something big

[west warren]

big bug

[tawny karma]

i remember a developer once saying they had the idea of letting you throw maggots at other players in drg. could we potentially revive this idea for rouge core?

what if we could throw lootbugs?

[earnest fulcrum]

Lootbug ball

Maggot football

[simple cloak]

new weapon, mineral ball; it's really just a baby lootbug

[west warren]

e to pick up maggots would be so awesome

[earnest fulcrum]

Eat them and get healed but they be lava ones blow you up

[fathom flame]

[forest rain]

honestly even leadspray (with accuracy) is still viable for mid range firefighting

[pearl tinsel]

True

But most peeps run lead spray just to annhilate praets lol

[forest rain]

just never ever go for long range

[winged pier]

Shoot, I had been confusing DRG: Rogue Core for DRG: Survivor for the longest time. 😭

(I almost passed up another shooter.)

[hollow bear]

You're not alone in that

[winged pier]

(If it hadn't been for my brother.)

phew

[winged pier]

lol

[tall plume]

sadly

[forest rain]

survivor is the top down shooter while rc is first person roguelike (or perhaps roguelite)

[winged pier]

Yeah.

I just thought they were through with FPS.

Good to know that ain't the case. 😄

[zinc jolt]

i wonder if rogue core will have new music

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[zinc jolt]

epic

[opaque scaffold]

is roguecore a relatively new thing?

or can we expect like a early access sooner than later

[median sleet]

Early access in November

Closed Alpha Q1

[tall plume]

it's not even out yet so yeah it's fairly new

all the info we know are in the pinned messages

[opaque scaffold]

yea i meant moreso the fact that the public even got to hear about it

[opaque scaffold]

ohhh ic

[crystal sleet]

are we gonna be able to customize our dwarves in rogue core like we can deep rock?

[warm grove]

If rouge core gets dwarf drip DRG dosent have, will there be a DLC or some way to get it in normal DRG

[hollow palm]

we do not know how they will be handling cosmetics for now

[cloud sage]

Is there any info on how to "enrol" for the Closed Alpha? Id spend millions on Leaf lovers for a chance of access

[cedar kelp]

is closed alpha so probably they will give away the keys to specific people

[olive narwhal]

I expect a chunk of the people in the video creation sphere will probably gots in

[median sleet]

Time to make a yt channel

[olive narwhal]

Or peoples maybe experienced in the roguelite drg sphere feedback and stuff

Ven diagram

[median sleet]

Both inexperienced and experienced people should be invited imo

Ofc youtubers will have a higher chance because free advertising and stuff

[olive narwhal]

True

Probably learn more till the anniversary as probably previously stated

[tall plume]

no info as of yet

[hard yew]

How would I know when or where to at least sign up for the closed alpha to try and play test it?

[median sleet]

They'll probably announce it in here

In #announcements *

[hard yew]

Ok just wanted to check im not missing a special channel that I gotta watch like a hawk for the rest of Q1

[median sleet]

Maybe they'll give some more info on when/ where during the anniversary stream which should happen in a few months

[hard yew]

Ok thanks

[tall plume]

"few" being next month 😄

[median sleet]

Idk I have bad memory

[tall plume]

the anniversary of DRG is on the 28th February so we'll get the stream around that time

[median sleet]

Alright, thanks

[unreal crest]

1 month sounds like few to me

[simple cloak]

Rug corp

[icy edge]

[dusty epoch]

I’m new here So can someone please explain what drg rouge core is?

[carmine zenith]

GSG (the devs behind DRG) have given up on DRG and decided to put all of their time and effort into a new tactical shooter / bomb defusal style game set in the DRG universe that they've named Rogue Core.

[forest rain]

well, not all their time, but a lot, so much so drgs next season has been delayed

[carmine zenith]

Pls don't spread lies to the newbies, there will not be another seasonal update. 😔

[verbal wolf]

Uh oh. We entered stage 1 of grief.

[carmine zenith]

It's sad, but eventually people will reach a point of acceptance over DRG being over.

[forest rain]

its joever..

[tall plume]

Indeed

Also, don't listen to Tater, he's having too much fun misinforming people

[verbal wolf]

It's Deep Rock Galover, my fellow dwarves.

[tall plume]

All the info you need are in the pinned messages

[verbal pine]

i have an early copy of rogue core, its got loot boxes and a thing called D-coin

pretty cool so far

cant wait for the sprint button dlc

[tall plume]

only 9.99$

[verbal pine]

kinda strange that they replaced the dwarfs with anteaters but hey its new

[verbal wolf]

How are the new enemies?

I heard they brought back pre-nerf Stingtail and gave it wings.

[verbal pine]

killing them is not kid friendly, so you have to throw a birthday party for every enemy

[verbal wolf]

Individual birthday parties for every enemy?

[verbal pine]

yes

[verbal wolf]

Even during Swarmer swarms?

[verbal pine]

its not a swarm anymore, its a birthday bash

[verbal wolf]

Strange choice, but they are the experts at game design, so I won't question it.

[native monolith]

Well, so far we know all drg enemies are returning and we also know the art team was looking at biblically accurate angels for inspiration

So we have that to look forward to

There’s probably more stuff hidden away in the dev streams, if you wanna dig for it

[hidden hornet]

Biblically accurate glyphids

[south kiln]

You actually play as elves in rogue core

[inland palm]

screenshotting for future reference

[next crater]

Don’t trust our moderators

[tall plume]

hey, I've said nothing but the truth !

[spring tartan]

Quick, tell that devs are telling truth to create paradox

[summer axle]

Devs vs Mods: tonight at 7!

[median sleet]

Sorry, Jacob said it and pinned it. anything you say from now on is false.

[warm grove]

1984

[cedar kelp]

yet you claim the game is spelled like rogue and not rouge

tsk tsk tsk, expected more from you

[gritty lily]

good book

[wary tiger]

Why is the nucleus red

[cedar kelp]

unrelated

[wary tiger]

Completely related

You claim the nucleus is red

Elaborate

Show us an academic article with proof

[cedar kelp]

no you see you are wrong there

I don't say it's red

I say it's french

[wary tiger]

Yes you did

[cedar kelp]

and on top of that is red

not just red

there's a difference

[wary tiger]

You claim the core is rouge

Elaborate why nucleus reddenned

[cedar kelp]

because uhm... ehhhh...

[wary tiger]

Give scientific details

[cedar kelp]

look there, a distraction!

[wary tiger]

Nope

Still waiting

Show

[cedar kelp]

it's a good distraction

you are missing it

[wary tiger]

ELABORATE

[median sleet]

it red because hot

[cedar kelp]

well it's surrounded by this little distractions around it

[median sleet]

core is hot

[cedar kelp]

and they make a big distraction in on itself

[wary tiger]

nuh UH

[cedar kelp]

a magnificent distraction

well your lost, I will enjoy it

[wary tiger]

@cedar kelp see? At least someone elaborated

And it is a plausible explanation

[cedar kelp]

see? all's well that ends well

I was right c:

[wary tiger]

Now YOU elaborate further

[cedar kelp]

I don't think is necessary

[wary tiger]

It is

Why it hot

🥚splain

[cedar kelp]

cause it's angry

[wary tiger]

🤔

This shall be investigated

Why it has gone angy

[cedar kelp]

you didn't enjoy the distraction he made for you

Mr jerkvin man

[wary tiger]

Why it has gone rougely rogue

[tawdry frigate]

if I was a bunch of molten rock stuck under more immovable rock I would probably be pretty angry too

[wary tiger]

No YOU

[wary tiger]

Why would you? Free armor!

[cedar kelp]

can't scratch your nose tho

[wary tiger]

Just drag nose through it

Armor isn't smooth

[cedar kelp]

aint the same you know?

[wary tiger]

Says who?

[cedar kelp]

the distraction

[wary tiger]

Cores can't talk and neither do distractions

[cedar kelp]

and how do you know the core went rogue then?

also distractions do talk

you being a jerk and ignoring it is a different thing entirely

[keen night]

Clearly its a typo and the core went vogue 💃

[wary tiger]

that...

would make...

idk what would make the core

stylish????

axel is core-ing the rogue...

do you want to tell us something, axel?

[verbal pine]

if theres no wall running, sliding, emotes or sprays in rogue core im gonna be.. ANrgyu!!!

[velvet marsh]

Cool sunglasses 😎

Preferably Rouge in color

[opaque scaffold]

emotes and sprays

there’s no emote on the server to express my feelings towards those 2

[hollow bear]

10 Rogue Packs for only 1999 Core Coins

What a steal!

[knotty cosmos]

[velvet marsh]

Imma spend 500 core coins to boost my chances of getting the mustache I want from this corego crate, by 5%!

(See what I did there? Corego crate? 🤣🤣)

[willow bay]

Inb4 the core turns out to be a giant bug egg

and the game is you chasing down the core-bug in the spaceship for absconding with DRG property

[sly wolf]

Lootbug lore?

[little sail]

not gonna lie, i hope that rouge core goes into early access on november 19th

[soft moss]

Lootbug feast

[median sleet]

AFAIK lootbugs aren't in the game... yet

Because I will keep asking the devs about it untill they get added

[pearl tinsel]

Imagine it literally is a lootbug that ate too much expenite

[warm grove]

I wonder if we will be fighting in more 'dwarf' made areas

like inside of buildings or smting

would be cool for rouge and DRG

[pine skiff]

In DRG season 5 there will be a new mission type where we build the actual maps used in Rogue Core

[severe sigil]

free labour

[ivory spire]

“As part of season five we are forcing all of you into blender”

[pearl tinsel]

Does this mean using the visual software blender or an actual blender?

[ivory spire]

I’ll let you decide

[hidden hornet]

Both

You have to build a blender in blender

[willow bay]

You have to lure bugs into a blender

To make materials for using in the construction

[smoky bison]

naww not possible

[ivory spire]

5 months of waiting is pain

[native monolith]

Have you heard of the 5 year silksong wait

[long breach]

maybe if we summon Aaron enough he might accidentally say something again

[warm grove]

Child labor update when

🗣️

[pure vessel]

or muted

[median sleet]

That is a price I am willing to pay for lootbugs

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/30rock-alec-baldwin-there-there-cheer-up-comfort-gif-4215371

[pure vessel]

haha, what did he say?

[long breach]

He accidentally revealed the november update release date on a dev stream a few months ago 😂

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-notes-take-notes-gif-4790188

[cedar kelp]

oh no aaron is getting executed

please anders don't do it

or do so, I can't stop you but I believe it's illegal

[long breach]

Just make him do more voice impressions on stream and say stupider things or sth

He hasn't made a sukondis sponsor plug in a while though

I wonder if he said something and sukondis stopped sponsoring GSG 😳

[median sleet]

I wonder if someone had to tell him to stop making the joke

[long breach]

lmao oof, I like the joke though

[median sleet]

Hey, you got the regular role, congrats

[long breach]

yee, just got it today thx

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/brad-pitt-cry-sad-gun-aim-gif-16220733

[tall plume]

oh well, guess they'll need another new hire

so that's what happened to the last one...

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-you-to-come-with-me-wentworth-youre-coming-with-me-we-need-to-speak-with-you-you-are-wanted-for-questioning-gif-22807277

[tall plume]

I'm innocent

[long breach]

I'd be surprised if Aaron is that easily taken down considering the man ate drywall during his interview

and the bunch of massive hamburgers sent to the office during dev streams last year

[calm yoke]

They always say that...

[frigid path]

I’m available, my qualifications are
- Dystrum inspection
- Annoying Jacob
and that’s it

[delicate flax]

they should add the laser reflection platform oc into rogue core

redemption

[pearl tinsel]

But it sucked

[delicate flax]

then make it unsuck

also since this is a upgrade as you level game i think it's possible to make it good

[west warren]

what was that, just makes it ricochet off platforms?

[delicate flax]

yeah your platforms reflect the laser like a mirror

[west warren]

could u bounce it off the sides of plats

[delicate flax]

probably

[west warren]

does sound a little unuseable but ricochet shard could be awesome

[delicate flax]

we do a little snipin

[west warren]

maybe a ricochet beam weapon other than shard

some bouncing railgun shot

[delicate flax]

most useful it probably could have been is targetting dreads from a distance

or behind walls

[west warren]

more bouncing projectiles would be awesome tbh

make epc bounce around

[delicate flax]

bouncing tcf

would be crazy

im gonna be trick shotting the scout

[west warren]

terrain in this game probably would be pretty hard to accurately bounce anything off walls tbh

[pearl tinsel]

Problem with all the richochet stuff in drg is that it can only bounce once

It's not too useful

[west warren]

would it be busted if stubby had electric arc at base and the mod let it bounce an extra time? I feel like probably not

[simple cloak]

What if we could rotate the platforms at fixed points

[west warren]

lol I saw a mod that lets engi place them relative to where he's looking so u can build straight up towers and block cave openings with just a few plats, it looked pretty busted but fun

[bright kernel]

would be too powerfull for defensive holds

[cosmic narwhal]

are people able to play rogue core?

[bitter cloud]

Not yet as far as I'm aware. Common people, I mean.

[simple cloak]

The devs are having a blast playing Rogue Core right now 😔

[verbal wolf]

Don't worry they'll shadow drop Rogue Core tomorrow.

[weary tinsel]

[surreal mason]

it’s pronounced rogue core

[verbal wolf]

The devs should change it to Rouge Core just to spite you.

[hidden hornet]

Change is to rouge core to annoy the mods

[pearl tinsel]

Electric arc is just an aoe like cooker's radiation though

[median sleet]

🟥🌽

[wary tiger]

tastes spicy

[gleaming roost]

man i'm hyped for this. i love roguelikes.

holy shite this chat is dead

[sleek swallow]

no it isn't

[gleaming roost]

well. now it isn't

[sleek swallow]

you're welcome

[gleaming roost]

any new news about the game? besides the trailer ofc

[tall plume]

not at the moment, but the anniversary stream is coming up soon and I think it's not too crazy to expect some news around that time 🙂
