[gleaming roost]

cheers Ser. i'l be on the lookout for it

[solemn mason]

Oh boi. Exciting 😄

[tall plume]

Anniversay is on the 28th of February, so it'll be around that time. They'll make an announcement anyway.

• there will be an ingame event for DRG

so really hard to miss the news 😄

[frigid path]

I think the Devs should change it to Dystrum Core, much better name (totally 1,000,000% not biased and don’t look at the bottom of my about me )

[tall plume]

☝️ not confirmed btw but very likely

don't think they've ever skipped making an event for that

[gleaming roost]

mmm lead molten core

[native monolith]

Is that implying there’s impostors in the mod ranks

There’s some cool stuff I’ve found in the dev streams, but it’s usually not worth the time to shift through it

You also get hit with deez nuts jokes

[long breach]

"Nothing refreshes you more than Sukondis!"

[burnt flume]

Ser Pounce can no longer be trusted. We need another mod

[pure vessel]

Yeah I think we'll talk about something then, including Season 05.

[sleek swallow]

sweet

looking forward to it

[grave cradle]

Never

[pure vessel]

I'm not sure what kind of news we are going to share though.

[sly wolf]

"we still didnt achieve the consensus on female dworfs in Rouge Core, so the release date gets moved to 2027"

[pure vessel]

[raw ridge]

Would you guys remind me wheter we're getting female dwarves in RC?

(didn't readh the chat don't kill me if this was answered 😭 )

[bright kernel]

dwarfs are it's own gender

[median sleet]

unknown

[golden tangle]

How do you know that the dwarves aren't female in drg?

[median sleet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/zax2bg/love_this_response_personally_regardless_of/

'not having female dwarves in DRG is our own fault'

[golden tangle]

My headcanon is that female dwarves are indistinguishable from male ones

[hollow fox]

They could add a alternate for MISSION CONTROL.
but that would be at least a hundred hours of dev time to implement all of his iconic lines with a new VA... they really dug themselves a deep hole. xD

[tall plume]

Your own headcanon is fine, as long as you're not pushing it into anyone else

[uncut urchin]

what if dwarves dont have genders and reproduce asexually or through cloning vats

[hollow fox]

what if Dwarves reproduce with rocks?

[uncut urchin]

rock and stone

[tall plume]

For the devs, it's less about lore and more about representation, simple as.

(also about all the work it involves, but that's a given )

[hollow fox]

if MISSION CONTROL was just a tired and over-worked Office Lady, i wouldn't even notice the difference. xD

[golden tangle]

Lmao

[hollow fox]

if anything, the sass would add into the experience.

[tall plume]

we don't even know if mission control is actually a dwarf to begin with

[hollow fox]

tru... wtf is he, even?
human? elf?

[nocturne pollen]

do dwarves rock the bed?

[tall plume]

it's anyone's guess

[hollow fox]

whatever he might be... we know what he isn't: well-paid. lol

[west warren]

hes probably a dwarf its just not confirmed

[hollow fox]

he is clearly not a dwarf, since he has no facial hair.

lack of facial hair for dwarfs is a HERESY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!

[uncut urchin]

you can shave in the wardrobe so that means nothing species-wise

but i agree

[golden tangle]

Driller has no facial hair

[west warren]

if they reveal weve been working for humans this whole time id be pissed

[hollow fox]

shoot him out into space for daring to NOT have facial hair!

and strap him with his satchels!

[golden tangle]

Pretty sure mission control is a dwarf but the management might not be

[hollow fox]

i bet he shaves to impress management, that fucking sellout!

[west warren]

risking your life for human financial gain doesn't hit as hard as being a dwarf doing dwarf things

i wanna risk my life for dwarven financial gain

[hollow fox]

can't forget that we are fighting to cleanse the planet from DA PLAGUEY.

...and getting rich while doing it.

[west warren]

pox was added later, getting rich is the main part

[hollow fox]

and melding into the cave walls.

Dwarf is Rock, Stone is Life.

[native monolith]

i mean all the middle earth races are confirmed to exists

its a popular theory mission control is a human

[hollow fox]

beardless, human freak of a man.

[inland palm]

mission control is pretty obvously a goblin

actually is it confirmed that mission control is returning in this game

[tawny karma]

it would be cool if we got to see more of what management is like

or just more voices talking to you like mission control does

[pearl tinsel]

That would require hiring more than one voice actor

[harsh lynx]

honestly a game set in the DRG universe I'd love to see is a fast paced overcooked-esque game where you play Mission Control trying to send droppods and ressuplies, cleansing equipment etc to dwarf teams on different missions in Hoxxes. You've also got to keep an eye out to ensure they don't waste time pinging gold

[fierce solstice]

Basically dwarf fortress but the map is hoxxes

[static warren]

drg command and conquer

[smoky bison]

Imagine rouge core having rivals and Rockpox at the same time

[verbal wolf]

Rivalpox.

[smoky bison]

Infected patrol bots

So I just watched most of the season 5 and rouge core video released by ghost ship...

The reclaimers sound like gunners with special suits

[verbal wolf]

Gunner got promoted for his fantastic work for the company.

[smoky bison]

I would take my lsls minigun and wreak havoc

[last pond]

<@&296918282403840000> might want to get this one

[deep agate]

for some reason ban didnt clean up

[last pond]

weird

discord sucks ig

thank you for your service!

[solemn sparrow]

I WANNA PLAY THIS SO BAD!
i hope they have a Steam Next Fest Demo on the 5th!!!!!!!!

[tall plume]

I doubt there'll be a demo at the Steam Fest

but who knows

[spring prawn]

Possibility of a steam fest demo? HOORAY

[solemn sparrow]

well lets hope!

[soft moss]

Me too

[cyan stag]

Leadstorm leadstorm with lead spray and leadbursters

Needs more lead

[high sedge]

alright its deep into Q1 2024... WHERES THE CLOSED ALPHA????????

[cedar kelp]

we are one month in 2024, nowhere close to be deep into q1

[median sleet]

We aren't even halfway yet lol

[pure vessel]

Likely delayed, but let's see how it goes

[median sleet]

They delayed it so they can properly implement lootbugs right?

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/who-knows-shrug-what-shades-on-idk-gif-15962763

[median sleet]

I am right on the money, as always

[hollow bear]

Delayed for female dwarves

[olive narwhal]

Delayed for the core to go rogue

[pure vessel]

Maybe, nothing's set in stone or rock. We'll have more updates later this month I think.

[median sleet]

Stone or rock 😔

[pure vessel]

Can't have both

[hollow bear]

Stoner Rock 🎸

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-my-man-hd-my-man4k-gif-23532578

[median sleet]

Does that mean the dwarves have been desiring something they can't have? How greedily and how deep are they willing to dig for it?

[long breach]

I mean, they've dug to the core, nothing's stopping them from plowing into the core next

[velvet marsh]

Here we go, fan theories about what's inside the core!

[hollow bear]

It's full of Peeps

[long breach]

we need to find the biblically accurate angel living inside the core

[velvet marsh]

A single lootbug with an enormous psionic brain, called "The Vengeful One"

[quick turtle]

Has it been confirmed or talked about the ammo scarcity/economy or resupplies in rogue core? As much as I love drg I could not see ammo or economy like that be fun or feel rewarding, hp maybe i could see

[fierce solstice]

there are red sugar crystals so chances are ammo economy exists as well

[quick turtle]

I’ve seen a lot of ammo and health replenish mechanics, most being room or floor clears aswell as being bought out with a currency or special stuff like focus or lifesteal but never really anything that is strict or necessarily limited

As concerned as I am about some drg mechanics in a rouge like this honestly is the most exciting gaming news I got since like ror2 dlc

[forest rain]

Everytime I see someone say 'rouge' I immediately think of Moulin Rouge and the main can-can tune starts playing in my head

[delicate flax]

I feel like finite ammo isn't really a good thing for a roguelite tbh

[raven wharf]

don't miss

[delicate flax]

it does add more danger though but it would probably stunt the playing time

[olive narwhal]

Its probably closest similarity roboquest does not have ammo so

They probably could make it work with ammo limitations just having to yionk nitra on the way through may interrupt flow

[hidden hornet]

Molten morkite

[vernal arch]

will rogue core be available for linux?

[median sleet]

Probably with proton, I doubt there'll be native support

[hollow palm]

What you’re talking about is resource management.

Most drg guns if fired endlessly would be absurdly powerful.
The balance of incoming swarms, ammo and your time to kill swarms means you can use and manage weapons in contexts and situations they’re the most valuable in

That’s how terraforming, team play, loadout synergy, and cave exploration tie in for drg.

A skill based timer (like ammunition) in a roguelike sounds awesome.

You’re not making individual risk/reward decisions, you could be constantly tiptoeing on how much of the cave is worth shooting through, and how efficiently you do so

Definitely some room for good and bad implementation imo

[tall plume]

what would be awesome is playing the game first before having an opinion on how the system will work

[hollow palm]

ya

[hollow palm]

Commenting on this

[tall plume]

or at least having more info than 7 screenshots not showing any gameplay

[hollow palm]

I think resource management in a nondescript roguelike environment has just as much potential to be fun as it does to stunt play-time.

[fierce solstice]

Nah sorry i'll have to make a thread on twitter first

[hollow palm]

“Top ten reasons why rogue core will FAIL”

[pearl tinsel]

Enter the gungeon has finite ammo

[delicate flax]

I think this would depend if the enemies evolve themselves in drg rc

[hollow palm]

It’s a cool idea. It would make sense to start with like, scaling haz but then you’d have an early game filled with handfuls of grunts

[delicate flax]

It's not that people wouldn't play, it's that since you have finite anmo you have to balance how long the matches in your games should be

[hollow palm]

I mean like, depletable ammo.

[delicate flax]

imo ror2 is the best example of how rc should work

[hollow palm]

I don’t follow

[fierce solstice]

ror2 has a lot of issues gameplay wise

So no

[west warren]

ror2 the resource is money which matters early game but if looping at all u just get ridiculous amounts of money and its not even a factor anymore

but yeah im sure rogue core will be pretty different

[delicate flax]

i find the only issue is ror is stinkin hard

[quick turtle]

I wish eclipse in ror wasn’t so lazy and grindy 💔

[quick turtle]

I feel like drg rc would need vastly different ammo restoration, since each layer is a cave I can’t imagine there would be room clears. A shop I can 100% see working especially if it’s put up against upgrades so skill full ammo play gets rewarded

I wouldn’t also be surprised if it was just tiny pistol with infinite ammo and guns replenish ammo between stages

I’m excited to see how they handle it

[hidden hornet]

Imagine the caves having massive sized lootbugs because of the lack of dwarfs killing them in the area

Like full to the brim of recourses

[merry current]

i just want metal versions of all the existing drg soundtracks coz the reclaimers supposed to be metal af

[summer axle]

Metal RUN

Count me rock and by Karl bloody stoning IN!!!!!!

[last fossil]

what differentiates rogue core from normal drg?

[pure tree]

fax

like what is it

[last fossil]

Ah I think it's more roguelike

[tawdry frigate]

it is indeed a rouge-like.

you start out with a regular pistol and eventually find other weapons and lots of mineable upgrade currency for your setup throughout each cave. There is no Nitra in Rogue Core.

Each run is a complete restart other than some permanent "meta" upgrades that you pick after each run, similar to other rouge-likes like Hades and Gunfire Reborn.

The other spin-off, DRG Survivor, is also a rouge-like. It just plays completely different.

[last fossil]

This seems interesting, has there been any answers on what the pricing will be for the game?

Hopefully there'll be a lot of choice for upgrades and stuff, it sounds like a dope game

If this will be multiplayer though I wonder how it'll work with players who are new and players who have a lot more hours, if the permanent upgrades have a substantial effect on the run

[tall plume]

pinned messages for all the details

[last fossil]

thank you ser pounce

i forget pins exist sometimes

[raven wharf]

Everyone does

[last fossil]

that Reddit post was just people complaining about lack of DRG updates

Lmfao

People are asking too much from the devs, never knew it was such a small team

[simple cloak]

yappers will yap regardless

it's the cycle of yap

[wispy mulch]

With the closed alpha, do you think that people who participate will be able to talk about it but not show any footage or screenshots cause its a work in progress? Or is it going to be a secret?

[tall plume]

I think it's going to be kept under wrap

[wispy mulch]

Ok thank you

[rich condor]

can't wait to play drg 1.5 and drg 2

[median sleet]

I think you mean DRG: survivor and DRG: Rogue Core

[rich condor]

no

drg 1.5 and drg 2

[placid turtle]

will RC have randomly generated levels as well?

that's one of my fave parts about DRG tbh

[long breach]

pretty sure they'll stick with procedural cave gen, yes

but there's also going to be abandoned facility stuff strewn about too i think

[bright kernel]

what are you talking about?

[tall plume]

yes

[placid turtle]

nice

[hidden hornet]

Who knows?

Sad thing about gamers these days

They think every new game of a series is a sequel

There's no such thing as standalone expansions or spinoffs to them

[slow dock]

Honestly hard to tell since DRG has no plot

[abstract oxide]

Maybe it should be judged as a sequel if the game formula and gameplay loop are the same and if not its a standalone or spinoff?

Like if GSG makes a game that has space dwarves but the focus isnt on mining or doing the missions like in DRG it wouldnt count as DRG 2. Even if assets are reused

[raven wharf]

It’s literally an update that got too big to be an update to the base game. They’ve answered this question many times already.

[inland palm]

I feel like if anything it’s a more of a spin off then a direct sequel. Because not only is it a different genre then the original drg, it’s also going to be developed alongside drg’s seasonal updates apparently

[olive narwhal]

Well they said they were not abandoning drg so i presume so

Sounds like they have a drg team and rc team atleast atm(the peeps working on rc and the peeps working on the maintenance update and season 5)

[slow dock]

I assume that survivor, the board game and rogue core might be why the recent seasons felt so undercooked

The devs just need to split their attention too much

[olive narwhal]

Survivor is developed by a separate studio gsg is publishing though

[slow dock]

Weirdly enough I came to like rockpox

[slow dock]

Still must be additional work for them

[olive narwhal]

Cant say much for the amount of work involved publishing certainly less than an entire game

[tall plume]

And you would be wrong because they didn't make DRG:Survivors nor did they designed the boardgame.

[tall plume]

the only person it's additional work for are the person who's job it is to help with those things : the production side, and game and art directors

[slow dock]

Well then it certainly will hurt their reputation in my eyes

[tall plume]

for what reason ?

[slow dock]

That the seasons are still undercooked

[tall plume]

and this has been explained why already

see the pinned messages for details

[slow dock]

Havent heard

[slow dock]

This channel?

[tall plume]

yeah

[slow dock]

So its just rogue core?

[tall plume]

it would be very cool if you could actually read through those

[slow dock]

I did

[tall plume]

no you didn't

[slow dock]

Maybe I missed something

Theres nothing there

[tall plume]

I doubt you managed to read the store page and the whole reddit Q&A within the span of a few minutes.

so my conclusion is

you didn't read.

[slow dock]

Thought it would be in the messages themselves

[tall plume]

there are links plastered all over the pinned messages, and they're not here just because they look nice

[slow dock]

Is it in the video?

[slow dock]

Your honor
Im sad to inform you my ass still doesnt understand

[olive narwhal]

Their was a q and a at somepoint shortly after the announcement of rc you can probably the general summary on reddit somewhere

[tall plume]

it's pinned in here, I'm sure they can find it if they want to.

[olive narwhal]

Neat

[slow dock]

So I asked if its the video

Im in a train rn so yeah

[cedar kelp]

you know how in the board game they have a screenshot that says: days since someone asked if there was a board game?

we need the same here that is:

days since someone didn't checked pin comments and ask something in there

[olive narwhal]

Its the yoshkincat pin

[slow dock]

Ah

[olive narwhal]

For compressed qna

[slow dock]

I didnt click the message and didnt see the link

Thx

[last fossil]

is there no gameplay footage of rogue core

[rocky dove]

not yet

[last fossil]

10 more days quali

we need to survive 10 more harsh days

wait no that's deep rock survivor

oml

is there no release date on rogue core

[west warren]

check pinned msg for roadmap

supposed to be early access in november with a closed beta coming up soon

[last fossil]

😭 😭

9 months

oh well

[west warren]

beta might be happening later than they anticipated too

[last fossil]

that's cool

is there any way to apply to gain early access

[west warren]

nah idk

[last fossil]

or is it only given to higher hierarchy players

[keen acorn]

who would get acces to the beta?

[last fossil]

ah alright

[west warren]

they haven't said anything about who or how

[keen acorn]

ok thank

[west warren]

yea

[last fossil]

that's gutting i thought it was releasing this month

im such a dummy

[west warren]

i hope dwarf fortress adventure mode comes out soon i need more dwarf gaming

[last fossil]

whas dat

oh pixel game?

[west warren]

lol some other game, this isnt the server to discuss it but dwarf fortress is cool

[last fossil]

alright

[pure vessel]

Survivor and board game has nothing to do with our Dev team.

Rogue Core just ate more of the dev time and we had a shorter period of time to work on the season and thus it had less content compared to season 1 and 2, for instance.

Development on season 04 didn't start right after season 03 was released, just to clear that up.

[pure vessel]

No such thing. We just don't have any way to sign up until we get closer to an alpha.

We want all kind of players to test it out.

[pure vessel]

Not yet. MAYBE, and it's a HUMONGOUS maybe, we can share more details during our anniversary stream this month.

[cedar kelp]

I do hope your moustache and beard combo gets in the game

I would love to rock the Anders style

[median sleet]

I hope the catgirls from his steam profile make it into the game

[bright kernel]

<@&296918282403840000>

[calm yoke]

As in, it started after or before season 3?

[cedar kelp]

probably there was some off time before the development, probably to stabilize the season 3

[calm yoke]

That's what I hope as well.

Development starting after season 3 makes sense, before it is worrisome both for the state of the release schedule and the health of the devs

[last fossil]

that's awesome!

[pure vessel]

After.

The general consensus was that we spent 6 months+ working on Season 04, but that's not how it is. Rogue Core development was going on at the same time.

So players of course thought we had worked on the season shortly after the release of 03 which isn't the case.

It's hard to manage the player expectations even though we have tried.

[raven wharf]

That’s going to be a large, interesting, group of players.

[olive narwhal]

I would like the volunteer as part of the unintelligent part of players of which only i exist

[pure vessel]

Yes, that would be nice.

[median sleet]

Any idea on if footage of the closed beta will be allowed to be shared or not yet?

[sly wolf]

I mean, does it really matter? Some players WILL share the content even if it will be prohibited

[tawny halo]

Good thing for an NDA.

[raven wharf]

I wasn't around for closed testing of DRG prior to early access, however they have not used NDAs during closed testing after launch. I'd hazard a guess that the group would be too large to warrant an NDA. I'd bet by the time the closed alpha is out, GSG will be advertising and providing various media of the game thus satisfying the curiosity of the community.

[last fossil]

you cant make everybody happy

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[calm yoke]

You just gotta make me happy

[last fossil]

lmao

i really respect the decisions of the team though, not wanting to expand the workforce because of loss of control and lower quality production

if anything it shows the developers they care a lot yet somehow people are still complaining

[long breach]

I think usually those are the people who don't really care about the creative processes at least to a certain degree. They just want to look at a pretty picture of colors, and get a new plaything, and they want it now

at least, that's imo. And it's disheartening when I see people who say that the context or story or process behind a piece of art means nothing and all they see is a pretty picture.

i dunno. Am i projecting? I personally would love to follow the game's development and know how it's made. Can't force people to be interested in it as well, but it's another thing to be ignorant that art and any kind of production takes time 😅

[median sleet]

I do understand people being mad/ dissapointed with the S5 delay. That's normal.
But some people really need to be more understanding to the fact that working on 2 games at the same time is going to take longer than working on 1 game.

[cedar kelp]

people don't understand how difficult is to make a videogame much less 2 and how is done and such

[olive narwhal]

Especially when gsg is avoiding ye oldy crunch culture

[last fossil]

3 games

[raven wharf]

If you're going to make two games, just make one

[last fossil]

survivors too!!

[cedar kelp]

survivors is been made by another dev team

"team" I think is just 1 guy

[last fossil]

oh

[raven wharf]

Man so much misinformation

pinned messages

[pure vessel]

We're barely in Alpha.

[raven wharf]

just change your internal definition of what an alpha is

[pure vessel]

It's a bit sad, but it's how it is. It's the result that matters in the eye of the player.

[cedar kelp]

hey now, being Anders the artist that is directing the masterpiece? you know is gonna be a good one

[long breach]

I was thinking of non-conventional art pieces when I said that, those require extra context / lore and it just makes them cooler that way 😄

games can sometimes do that too i think, as it's been discussed about games being art, and i definitely think they are

[last fossil]

people constantly asking for new things dont know how to enjoy a game

[pure vessel]

At the end of the day the players get the finished product, and it's percieved as such no matter the development proces.

And honestly that's fair enough.

[cedar kelp]

I legit rather have the product and see how it grows, personal opinion tho

[median sleet]

nope

[cedar kelp]

I know how hard a videogame is to do

and watch it grow

is just amazing

[pure vessel]

Sure, but the average consumer doesn't care.

[median sleet]

ah, I thought beta was soon mb.

[cedar kelp]

the average consumer wouldn't enjoy dwarves games, I do think we are the odd ones out

[pure vessel]

far from, unfortunately.

[cedar kelp]

but hey, getting closer to it by the day!

[median sleet]

Too bad, it'll be ready when it's ready

[median sleet]

I think it has at least 5 devs

[last fossil]

i have bright hopes for the games

[cedar kelp]

I thought it was just one

[last fossil]

i believe in the devs decisions anyways

[median sleet]

from Funday games

[median sleet]

There are currently 5 devs online in the DRG:S discord

It's definitly more than 1 tho

[hollow bear]

Funday has like 40 people on staff. DRGS is not their only product

[raven wharf]

And it’s quite fun. Less than two weeks until release.

[median sleet]

I know, I meant devs working on DRG:S

[hollow bear]

Pumped to do it again

[calm yoke]

Reminder: there is a reason why dev teams hate when their project in development gets leaked

[median sleet]

Because I will eat it

[fresh jetty]

a moment of silence to the countless games lost to repper567

[median sleet]

Half Life 3 very yummy 😋

[tall plume]

no, it's not just one person, it's a whole team. Though they are also working on multiple titles at the same time 😄

they're pretty cool people

[zinc basin]

I wonder what it will look like. I'm not big on not really knowing the stuff i have to kill my enemies before I get to the fight zone. But DRG guys, they know how to make things smooth and painless in progression and grinding wise too so. I'm still looking forward to it

[spring prawn]

Is there a steamfest demo?

[cedar kelp]

I really doubt it

[spring prawn]

Ah, unfortunate but I’ll wait

[tall plume]

Chances are very very unlikely

[spring prawn]

I can still hold out hope though

[cedar kelp]

hold out hope but not your breath

[spring prawn]

Got it

No asphyxiation

[azure latch]

As BioWare Corp. used to say before they were acquired by EA:

It's done when it's done.

[young pendant]

What’s rouge core meant to be? Is it like drg2 or smth else I saw a trailer for it but I’m still confused

[delicate flax]

Read pins

It's DRG but a roguelite. It's not a sequel as DRG doesn't have a storyline

[tall plume]

all the info you need is in the pinned messages and the game's store page

[sand wraith]

@pure vesselHey there
I've been testing games for almost 10 years soon, when the time comes and you are looking for people to play test, I'd love to be a part.

[young pendant]

Oke

Ty

[fierce solstice]

That's not how it works buddy

[sleek swallow]

do you think if I @ every single developer, they'd let me have access to rogue core?

[fierce solstice]

Nah let's greet them IRL

surely we'll get hired for testing

[sleek swallow]

me showing up to the gsg offices for my QA job that they'll have to accept

[tawdry frigate]

Rogue Core was originally going to be an update to Deep Rock Galactic itself, but it has since turned into its own game.

It's a first-person shooter like standard DRG, but it's heavily more focused on being an action rouge-like.

Each mission is fresh—you start with just a pistol—but eventually find more stuff as you go on, and get permanent upgrades too.

Yes, it's still 4-player co-op, but there aren't any classes to choose from.

There isn't much other gameplay info as of right now, so there isn't really much else to answer.

[fierce solstice]

ah yes, pubg the infamous roguelite

[hollow palm]

Listen here you little shit

You drop in and collect weapons in RC, and fight bugs on the way

You drop in and collect weapons in pubg, and fight bugs on the way

[pure vessel]

Everyone is welcome to test it out. We'll need all kinds of players. We'll have details on how to join the alpha whenever we are closing in on it being ready. Not sure how the process is going to be.

[pure vessel]

It was going to be an expansion.

[cedar kelp]

but then stuff started going south

grow limbs, many limbs

forge its own guns

hijacked the old ship

[polar tendon]

drink beer

[cedar kelp]

it went...

[polar tendon]

the ghost ship?

[cedar kelp]

Rogue

[pure vessel]

I can't remember why it was decided to make it stand-alone, but I think it allowed us to go a bit more nuts with the code without breaking anything too badly.

And go nuts with features too

[polar tendon]

will there be any cross progression between the two?

specifically cosmetics

[cedar kelp]

I don't think so, two different teams entirely

in teams I mean

one is miners the other are reclaimers

[tall plume]

"THE ARMOR BREAK BROKE AGAIN ! NOOOOOOOOO"

[cedar kelp]

I think that was the name?

[tall plume]

no plans for that

for now, that is

[cedar kelp]

armor break broke, that has a strange yet not unusual ring to it

[polar tendon]

not even a "get X achievement in Rogue Core and you get X cosmetic in DRG" or anything?

[polar tendon]

oh

[tall plume]

the game isn't even in alpha right now

this is a bit early for that

[polar tendon]

devs can still have plans

[cedar kelp]

yeah but is way too soon to confirm anything

so far they are trying to make sure the game runs without blowing itself up

the staples and chewed gum are working wonders but that won't last in the long run

[polar tendon]

of course, but we could be given little hints of what may be coming

[tall plume]

I know for a fact that any big project tend to have a life of its own and, beyond the basic stuff, it's better to process step by step and to not make very precise plans

[cedar kelp]

I'm 80% sure that, if it wasn't in the same universe, they wouldn't know what the name of the planet is they are orienting the game on

[tall plume]

Because projects like those usually don't go according to the plans, for the better and the worse

[polar tendon]

Hoxxes V

_ _

jokes aside, I realize that it is way too early to confirm anything, I was simply curious as to whether or not the devs had any plans regarding cross progression

[cedar kelp]

wait until the game is medium rare in the early access phase and you may recieve an answer

but so far? I'm confident the devs are not sure if this game is gonna release on xbox or playstation aswel

[polar tendon]

or I could ask now and receive an answer from everybody in the channel except the dev, either one

[cedar kelp]

dev is gonna say: I dunno resumes button smashing

if anything the designer is the one that should give an answer, and I'm confident he doesn't know either

[polar tendon]

which would still be more concrete than non-devs answering lol

[cedar kelp]

I mean a mod has given an answer and he has more relationship with the devs than me

[polar tendon]

my device is at 3%, and doesn't seem to want to send messages, they just do the red text after sending thing, hope this one gets through
edits since this message is in chat, I saw that Pounce gave an answer, however, since i don't keep up with the latest server news, I wasn't aware that he had gotten chummy with the devs, I will keep this in mind for the future

[pure vessel]

No, that's not the plan. We don't want players to feel they are missing out by not having both games.

[rich mauve]

Will RC have new BGM? Many of DRG's music is amazing

[pure vessel]

I want to clarify that i am NOT the designer on Rogue Core.

[cedar kelp]

oh? I thought you were

[pure vessel]

No that's Mike and Tim.

[tall plume]

I wouldn't say I'm a friend of them but being a translator, tester and moderator, I do have the privilege of talking to them a lot more on the daily basis. 😄

In any case, Anders has answered. Make sense that they wouldn't want to have people feeling like they're missing out tbh. Didn't think of that myself on the moment.

[pure vessel]

Yes. Sofus may or may not return 😉

[tall plume]

Btw I wanted to ask you : Since you have a new sound designer, have they been working on both project since Troel left ? And how did they handle both the transition and the new project at once ? 😄

[pure vessel]

Yes. Joachim is handling it really well and is doing a great job. Really looking forward to working with him on Season 05.

[tall plume]

Looking forward to hear his work too !

[pure vessel]

I think there is some examples in one of the audio blog posts on the rogue core steam page

[tall plume]

yeah i saw that, that was pretty cool too !

(Btw, should we let him know that the sound system in DRG for enemies out of sight broke again ?)

[pure vessel]

welp. Yes.

[tall plume]

God speed to him then

[south kiln]

In rogue core, all the enemies are the Steeves you've collected and gotten killed

[hollow bear]

We get to kill Steeve twice!?

[zinc jolt]

can we at least get to put guns on steeve before he dies

[tall plume]

no

only bullets

in steeve

[zinc jolt]

very sad

[tepid sun]

Rouge core will be a new game?

[tall plume]

yes
check the pinned messages in this channel for more info

[calm yoke]

Oh ffs

[burnt flume]

are cave leeches silent again or something?

[tall plume]

oh right, forgot about that too

[polar tendon]

Make sense that they wouldn't want to have people feeling like they're missing out tbh
isn't there already a bit of FOMO in DRG?

[olive narwhal]

Well you dont miss out technically outside of the steamawards and anniversary hats

But its a multi hundred hour grind to get what you missed which i guess could be fomo(depending on what you class as FOMO)

[polar tendon]

I'd say FOMO is anything where if you missed it, it would take 2+ months to even get a chance to get it again

[olive narwhal]

The yearly seasonal events by what you class as fomo would fall under it so fair

[polar tendon]

I'd say seasonal events are exempt, unless one or more rewards don't come back next year

[olive narwhal]

But if you dont compete your pass you gonna not be seeing that stuff for a bit

[polar tendon]

yeah, any kind of battle pass is almost always FOMO

[olive narwhal]

Think the anniversary would not be exempt

[olive narwhal]

Drgs is not horrible compared to other passes you can atleast get the stuff through game eventually

[polar tendon]

yeah, anniversaries are usually 1, 5, 10, 20/25, 50, 100, and 150

so quite a bit of FOMO if you miss one

[polar tendon]

you also don't have to spend 10-20 USD to get all of the rewards from it

[harsh lynx]

honestly the amount of FOMO in drg is so tiny compared to other games, I wouldn't use the term to describe anything in DRG simply because of the negative connatations the word has and the fact that it doesn't really have those in drg (imo)

[verbal tusk]

In a lot of games with battlepasses, if you don't get it while it's active, that's it.

In drg it goes into backpacks and crates. They take a while, still getting loot from them 450 hours in (I started playing in the middle of season 3)

[last fossil]

backpacks? am i misisng sm here

[harsh lynx]

the lost backpacks you can find in caves

[verbal tusk]

It's what a lost helm points to when you scan it

[last fossil]

Ohh those

i forgot they existed ngl

[rich condor]

would be cool if drg 2 had visual changes on weapons that depends on their upgrades

[bright kernel]

wdym there isn't going to be a sequal to drg

[cedar kelp]

not announced, at least

[bright kernel]

drg doesn't have any core issue atleast in my opinion so I don't see why there would be a sequal

[tawny karma]

im assuming theyre just talking about rouge core

[cedar kelp]

ROUGE

🟥

[bright kernel]

they asked a couple of days ago when drg 1.5 and drg 2 comes out and when someone corrected them saying that they probally mean drg survivor and rogue core foxturbator said they meant drg 1.5 and drg 2

[slow fossil]

what is rogue core supposed to be?

[tall plume]

check the pinned message for info

[tawny karma]

oh so they’re just trolling then

[rich condor]

just a joke

like drg:s is drg 1.5 and drg:rc is drg 2

i think its funny

[tribal lagoon]

is rogue core gonna have different dwarves?

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages for info

[zinc jolt]

maybe i should check the pinned messages for info

[bright kernel]

I don't get the funny

[tawny karma]

if you have to explain why it’s funny then it’s probably not funny

also it’s just incorrect

[pure vessel]

Yes

[rancid imp]

it better be good

[old swift]

it better be bad

[sleek swallow]

it better be neutral

[rich mauve]

I remember STEAM mentioned before that RC doesn't have a classes division, so how do we define different dwarves? Custom appearance?

[sleek swallow]

cosmetics are a big part of drg

they'll be a big part of rc

it's always the end game

fashion

person with the most drip, is one with the most skill

[old swift]

i'd imagine phase suits will change your appearance as well

considering they're called suits and not ultra dwarf abilities

[simple cloak]

My phase suit better be dripping with drip

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/man-point-weston-chandler-trolled-gif-7819683

[zinc jolt]

i sure hope rogue core will be a game of all time

[pure vessel]

it will surely be the gamest game of all time

[old swift]

reverse psychology or something like that

[quick turtle]

I just hope for good risk reward mechanics 🥹🙏

[hollow bear]

Risk of Reward 2: Rogue Core

[zinc jolt]

i honestly think high weapon and enemy variety is even more important

[frigid path]

Don’t put them too high otherwise the dwarves can’t reach them

[zinc jolt]

uncalled for

legally speaking, rocking is more legal then stoning

[frigid path]

🪨

[zinc jolt]

[forest rain]

[quick turtle]

That’s fair, recently been playing through atomicrops (if you love rougelikes 100% must play) and the infinite cealing for skill based rewards letting you maximise your runs is one of the most addicting things ever

The rhyme character is an insanely fine tuned design of rewarding playing well while not punishing the player into the ground

[zinc jolt]

rougelikes

i have seen a bit of atomicrops before ill consider checking it out

[tawdry frigate]

that inherently comes from the rouge-like aspect though

as a beginner you're destined to pick items or upgrades that you don't know are bad or good until you use them for the first time.

the other kind of risk and reward just depends on how you manage enemies like in the original Deep Rock.

[forest rain]

So....new classes?

[west warren]

its not gonna have classes

[fickle bobcat]

Rogue Core waiting room

[rough plinth]

no

they said there's never gonna be new classes

[cedar kelp]

for deep rock galactic

rogue core will probably have different characters with different abilities since the necessities are different, one are a group of miners and the other is a group of land reclaimers

against popular belief: smoothing out terrain with enough c4 to crack hoxxes again is not the most optimal way to reclaim land

[zinc jolt]

c4 will be in rogue core tho

unless the devs lied to me

[pure vessel]

Who knows?

too early to say

[forest rain]

Hype.

[pure vessel]

We're still early in development.

[forest rain]

I absolutely love that it could be a thing, but if does not, it does not matter, the game already feels different it feels like a complete new game (well it is), makes me really hyped.

[pure vessel]

Glad to hear it. I hope we can show some updated screenshots or footage from the game during our Anniversary Stream.

[cedar kelp]

and if not that's fine, knowing who's working on it is more than assurance that is gonna be good

[forest rain]

^

Just Don't Rush it, if delay of the game's release will be needed, then make sure to delay the release, we want complete thing

[cedar kelp]

though anders said he's not the designer this time and that makes me want to drown my sorrows in [INSERT ROGUE CORE BOTTOM TIER BEER NAME HERE]

(I am unsure if leaf lover's coming back so I don't wanna risk it)

[forest rain]

Imagine something alternative to leaf lovers

What could it be called

[zinc jolt]

let me come up with something real quick

[rough plinth]

it's pleasing management, so i think it's here

[long breach]

Maybe just acid

[cedar kelp]

yeah but management, as far as we know, manages the mining operations

[forest rain]

Drg, and Rogue core ain't in the same timeline are they

[long breach]

They are

[forest rain]

Oh

Alright

[pure vessel]

They are

[long breach]

Maybe management finds some stronger plant juice

[zinc jolt]

moss brew

[forest rain]

Stinky Moss Brew Drinker

[cedar kelp]

tree hugger's delight

[zinc jolt]

ingredients: 80% moss, 19% leaf lovers 1% actual literal shit

[long breach]

Dammit, i looked at moss and though of water and dew they have, then my brain said mountain dew🤣

[cedar kelp]

imagine drinking mountain dew instead of beer

moüntaÿm brew

[long breach]

Honestly, would it be an insult to tell a dwarf to just drink water tho?

[cedar kelp]

Yes

[zinc jolt]

yes

[agile comet]

call him a lake-slurper

get whalloped

[zinc jolt]

lake-slurper stout, now with 90% more water per water

[long breach]

Imagine, only drink available on the ramrod is just bottled water

Or worse, distilled water

Id assume the dwarves need the mineral flavor

[vapid shore]

I just redownloaded the game after a long time, is there a way to re-do the tutorial since i don't remember 99% of the gameplay?

[long breach]

Yeah theres a replay tutorial button somewhere

Tho i dont remember where it is atm sorry

[agile comet]

if there's no minerals in a drink dwarves can't digest it

[long breach]

Also try asking #drg-chat

[vapid shore]

ty

[long breach]

I feel like if management is cruel enough to only provide water, the dwarves would get a red sugar addiction real fucking fast

[polar tendon]

so there is some news on Rogue Core, it apparently has an at least semi-playable form currently
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/367223355994013698/1205444633325211719/Screenshot_2024-02-09_at_3.26.31_AM.png?ex=65d864cc&is=65c5efcc&hm=c00a94e2587773a6218eb015c8a88777677618d9eefc390cb8e17c508e0fd6fb&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1180&height=974

that's most likely just a super basic test, but it's news nonetheless

[fierce solstice]

Considering it's been more than 6 months since the beginning of the development i'd be surprised there is no basic test ground

[median sleet]

You'll see them playing it sometimes. I still have an old screenshot were it says playing as:gunner

it got changed to Rock and Stone soon after

[agile comet]

imagine if the core was rouge

[cedar kelp]

🟥

[zinc jolt]

that would be a peak ending in gaming

[harsh lynx]

half the ppl seeing the core would by hyped at the fan service, the other half would just be confused why the original half is hyped lol

[pure vessel]

It's playable yes, but it's early with bugs and all.

[polar tendon]

any funny ones?

[cedar kelp]

isn't that the main objective of the game? killing bugs?

so is good to go isn't it?

[bright kernel]

rogue core will be released tomorrow confirmed

[quaint monolith]

Writing a message here to the Devs to see this: I do NOT mind the wait! Quality > quantity/speed all the way, rouge core is on my watchlist and I'm glad it's even a thing you guys are doing and I will continue to support y'all
Have a good day BASED and actual HUMAN developers <3

[nova bay]

How can i request to participate in the alpha

[tall plume]

you don't, there is not alpha for now

[nova bay]

Or general testing rather, when it gets to that stage

[high sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/driller-blink-gif-23722040

[cedar kelp]

we don't know how the choosing system will be, a dev earlier this week said that they want to have different types of people testing it, so you'll probably have even chances if you were a tester as if you were not

[carmine zenith]

I'm picking the testers

[velvet marsh]

Well don't pick me, I don't mind it, not at all!

[summer axle]

Tater picking testers.

This should be interesting

Because tater has excellent instincts

[frigid path]

Can I test the ban everyone button?

[summer axle]

Regiii D:

[frigid path]

Someone has to check to see if it works

[tall plume]

no, that's reserved to me

[frigid path]

There goes my hopes and dreams

[split axle]

you could be second to press it

just to be sure

[carmine zenith]

I will be accepting bribes

[zinc jolt]

me too actually

just send me 50 billion dollars in steam gift cards and ill ignore you

[delicate flax]

will a pebble be enough?

[pure vessel]

Thank you for the support.

[icy vapor]

This is a fun ethics problem: Which of the two parts of this comment is more unethical? Hmmm...

Very chaotic neutral vibe.

[delicate flax]

ethics in drg never existed anyways

[icy vapor]

Poppycock, there's tons of ethical dilemmas. Example: A team mate gets leeched and your only remaining ammo is a single nuke; do you let them die to the leech or "save" them?

[delicate flax]

i'd nuke them anyways

we literally use flamethrowers to kill spiders

there is no ethics

[rugged fern]

Alternative names for Rogue Core? Personal fave is Rock 'n Rogue

[sly wolf]

Rouge Core

[rugged fern]

Like French pronunciation?

[cedar kelp]

🟥

[bright kernel]

the core has gone rogue...

[sly wolf]

No...

[sick narwhal]

Simply save the remaining ammo by letting them get leeched and then power attack the leech arm and miss and get leeched yourself

[vocal jewel]

Simple

You nuke the scout.

[celest viper]

out of all 4 classes

why scouuuutttt

he may leave dwarves behind and doesn't mine nitra or forget to lid up caves sometimes

but scout is innocent

[zinc jolt]

very simple

gunner has explosive resist

driller and engineer will just kill you back

[cedar kelp]

scout has double barrel tho

[zinc jolt]

ignore that

[cedar kelp]

and shaped shells

[zinc jolt]

ignore that even more

[cedar kelp]

tribolt also

[zinc jolt]

[long breach]

I thought scout’s friendly fire murder weapon was scc m1k

[sly wolf]

Overclocked Firing Mechanism

[crisp bear]

My comeback as a scout is that i enjoy making blueberry popsicles out of my teammates when they annoy me

[simple cloak]

Scout on his villain arc because he keeps getting team killed for some stupid meme

[inland palm]

scout ironically is the best at pvp due to grappling hook and m1k so I try my best to not piss him off

[delicate flax]

gunner not being able to shoot through walls and insta kill dwarves:

[dire verge]

is this playable early access? Steam says it is but I don't see a way to DL it

[tall plume]

the early access is for November 2024

[dire verge]

ah

thanks

[simple cloak]

wrong

im playing rogue core right now

[zinc jolt]

im playing rouge core right now

[full cedar]

See I don't know if your lying because closed betas happen all the time

[median sleet]

They're lying, I am the only being with access to Rogue Core

[frigid path]

I’m playing the Rogue Core 2: Electric Boogaloo beta rn

[median sleet]

Just got some good news, the devs gave me access to the Rogue Core 2: Origin of Karl DLC

[sly wolf]

I heard it confirms the "Lootbug Karl" theory?

[forest rain]

If core not made ro rogue why rogue shaped

To

[hidden hornet]

You should probably ask that in #drg-chat as this tends to be not as active as that one

[faint barn]

who up roguing they cores rn?

[soft moss]

holy moly there is a contra rouge core chat inside of the drg discordserver???

the worst game of the contra franchise??

[little moth]

all i hear is "NITRAAAA" and "TheRe iS nITRa OvEr HERe!"

[rough plinth]

"Engi you stupid bafoon, place platform here"
and
"Scout stop dying from leach, then repeatedly trying to get that red sugar from ceiling just to fall and die"

[sacred tundra]

Think about it

[zinc jolt]

i thought about it, im even more confused now

[hexed karma]

Hello, I have a question. I have 1400 hours in deep rock galactic, I would like to join the Deep rock rogue core tests. Is this currently possible?

[cobalt siren]

Not at the moment

[carmine zenith]

What do you bring for bribes?

[celest mural]

we can bribe people?!

[zinc jolt]

1 M.U.L.E. trading card

[celest mural]

I double his offer

[carmine zenith]

#rogue-core-chat message

[celest mural]

DAMN

[zinc jolt]

ill throw in a glyphid "pretorian" trading card as well

[celest mural]

Ill throw in a web spitter trading card

i jsut need more drg content

[zinc jolt]

glyphid suicider trading card

final offer

[celest mural]

Ill double his!

[zinc jolt]

[celest mural]

I need this.

[rich condor]

we need drg trading card game

[celest mural]

fun fact, there is a board game coming

[raven wharf]

I accept cash or ammunition

[celest mural]

how about, 2000 rounds of depleted uranium

[raven wharf]

If it’s in 5.56, .308, or .375 win then sure

[celest mural]

dunno what use you have for 308 depleted uranium, but sure

armored deer ig

[median sleet]

coming?

It's been here for at least a solid year

[celest mural]

oh.

[median sleet]

#drg-board-game

There's even some expansion packs now

[manic surge]

As long as we get cross progression cosmetics from drg to rogue core, i'll be happy.

[cedar kelp]

completly different dwarves

I wouldn't hold my breath about that

[white oxide]

If lego can do it, and club penguin can do it, I see no reason we shouldn't be able to tbh

[tall plume]

most likely not happening

No, that's not the plan. We don't want players to feel they are missing out by not having both games.
#rogue-core-chat message

[hollow palm]

mmmm

[hollow palm]

Yeah that’s also a good reason

[manic surge]

Won’t it be safe to assume most DRG players will play rogue core? And those who only play rogue core and see the cosmetics you can get from DRG, could be a good and emphasized cross pollination between games.

[old swift]

possibly? but it's also a roguelike so it could be people buy rogue core and haven't played drg

[hollow palm]

Even as a drg vet I’d prefer to go through the cosmetic progression

If people don’t like the progression of drg, then that’s even more reason to work from the ground up for rogue core

[shy cedar]

Im hoping they don’t lean heavily into stat buffs like gunfire/roboquest and hades

A few of the upgrades just expanding things you can do in run like extra shops is cool and eases in complexity. But more crit chance and flat damage is just stupid

[stable spindle]

Having fat boy on a minigun style weapon as a upgrade

[hollow palm]

The mod choices and overclocks in drg imply they know how to make guns fun

I have faith they’ll have micro and macro upgrade choices

[olive narwhal]

i can agree that something like crit rate would be silly when weakpoints are a thinh

thingies to improve weak point damage would work though

[tropic prairie]

is there a solid place where someone could read the lore of drg and/or rogue core's?

[cedar kelp]

the wiki might be your best bet, also this drg-historian guy in youtube think he has lore stuff in it

[tropic prairie]

would also be interesting if there was a movie like/animation like/ or even a single player sort of career mode with drg's lore

im pretty sure it can go a long way

[cedar kelp]

thaaaaaaaaaaat either is crowdfunded or a fan makes or something I don't see it happening cause animations for movie vs animations for videogames are quite the different worlds

[tall plume]

not really, the game is intentionally vague on lore

Rogue Core isn't even in early access, so that's excluded completely for now

[tropic prairie]

since you bothered telling me that it's intensional, may you also tell me why? random guess would be so anyone could have their own different lore in their head? xd

[tall plume]

that's pretty much it. The devs don't have much interest in telling a larger story and prefer that people make their own stories in the confine of what we know about their universe.

[pure vessel]

This. Basically we can't write anything better than what you can make up in your heads. It's also more interesting that way.

We do have our own understanding of the lore, but we're only vague about it through visual cues or similar.

A lot of the times the players actually figure it out

Other times we have put no thought into it at all

[median sleet]

Lootbugs in?

[pure vessel]

Who knows?

You'll just have to wait and see

[median sleet]

But I don't wanna wait 😭

[cedar kelp]

complain and you'll have to wait 1 more week

[brisk fjord]

Rogue

[hollow bear]

Coar

[sacred tundra]

Every time someone complains, devs add another week of development time.

[lime tapir]

why is it always the scout who gets nuked

why not gunner

or engin

[fierce solstice]

Surely this is a question for #rogue-core-chat

[zinc jolt]

silksong style

[simple cloak]

Soon we'll have that one build that always gets teamkilled

[bright kernel]

gunner have explosive resist

[zinc totem]

hello guys

I want to ask you one question

Does this game have a fanbase?

[raven wharf]

probably

[bright kernel]

a large game with millions of downloads tend to have that

[zinc totem]

i mean drg: rogue core

[bright kernel]

games that doesn't exist yet doesn't tend to have a fanbase

[zinc totem]

uh

[bright kernel]

it does ''exist'' just hasn't released or entered some sort of alpha

[white oxide]

it has a hypebase then

[simple cloak]

[tawdry frigate]

That mainly goes for brand-new franchises, not spin-offs of existing popular games.

though calling game hype a fanbase is exaggerating a bit.

[zinc urchin]

is rogue core a sequal to galactic?

[tall plume]

no
check the pinned messages for info

[little sail]

so does anybody know what the rouge core pistol is gonna be called? will it just be called pistol?

[simple cloak]

nerf blaster

[old swift]

rogue pistol

rebellious pistol

[sleek swallow]

defiant pistol

[inland palm]

the not today pistol

[zinc jolt]

add ultrakill coin

and make it work with a breach cutter like weapon

nothing can possibly go wrong

[shadow rock]

Is rogue core essentially DRG sequel?

[zinc jolt]

not really

[shadow rock]

So it’s not gonna be 4 player coop?

[tall plume]

it's gonna 4 player co-op

check the pinned messages for info

[zinc jolt]

its not really going to be drg 2 but more like a "sidegrade"

its drg but different

as far as i understand at least

correct me if im wrong

[tall plume]

well it's the same universe

and game certainly will look the same, with mostly the same feeling, gunplay and enemies

but the core gameplay will be completely different

the tone should also be a bit different too

bit more serious, according to the devs

[median sleet]

A bit more serious or a bit less silly is the question

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[long breach]

I think I remember them saying they want rogue core to have darker themes, where enemies can look more gross and unsettling

probably why they were looking at biblically accurate angels for inspiration a while ago

[pure vessel]

Correct.

[zinc jolt]

yoooooooooo

[long breach]

Oh, Hi Anders 😄

[zinc jolt]

thats pretty fucking cool

[pure vessel]

I think originally DRG was also supposed to be more dark, but now we get teh chance to do it.

[tall plume]

it was indeed darker during EA

the tone slowly shifted through the years to be more lighthearted

[zinc jolt]

alright where can i purchase this "rouge core" video game

i need it

[long breach]

i haven't really noticed for DRG I wasn't here for early access though. I only started playing 2 months before 3rd anniversary

[tall plume]

it's only for people who can read the name properly

[pure vessel]

You can wishlist it for now :=

[zinc jolt]

man

[tall plume]

could always check the legacy version

[long breach]

and then funny dwarves are funny dwarves 😂 When azure weald was announced, it was really cool

I played legacy version for maybe twice when it was for 5th anniversary event

spawning into a random game from a misclick to get immediately get eaten by a leech was peak gameplay 🤣

the angry meatball leech

[zinc jolt]

cant wait for them to add even more disgusting cave leeches in rogue core

i already hate how they look in drg

actual nightmare fuel

[long breach]

oh yeah, the current mutated meat slabs they are are already horrible enough

Then I drew one with 1 single eyeball a while ago

[zinc jolt]

im dead asf

last thing i want is for the cave leeches to be able to see

imagine a massive walking cave leech blob that just grabs everything it sees

[long breach]

I described current cave leeches as "Mutated raw meat patties that escaped from a radiated meat factory" when I first started playing and haven't gotten desensitized from them yet 😂

[zinc jolt]

very accurate

[long breach]

this sounds like those eat everything smaller than you type games, where you are an unstoppable ever growing pile of goo

[zinc jolt]

i need brain bleach

these are man made horros beyond comprehension and i want to forget about it

[tall plume]

👌

[final galleon]

I just got a notification that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has just released in Steam Early Access. Congratulations to all the developers involved in that! 🎉

[low kernel]

Yes!

Insta buy

.....done!

[tall plume]

their discord is this way : https://discord.gg/es3FcKZe

[final galleon]

Yeah, I know. Kinda meant to put it there, but figured I wouldn't delete it here as I'm still happy for the devs here, too 😅

[rich condor]

finally drg 1.5 is out

now we wait for drg 2

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/johny-gif-27696534

[rich condor]

why

[sleek swallow]

is not drg 2

[inland palm]

Everyone knows rogue core is drg 3. Survivor is drg 2

[sleek swallow]

darkswarm is drg 4

[fresh jetty]

Rogue Core is going to be darker? Can't wait for the glyphids to have hyper realistic bloodeye like in all my creepy pastas

[sleek swallow]

roguecore.exe

[rocky dove]

They should rename drg to drg 1 because everyone is gonna call it that anyway with the sequels

Look at what happened to smb1

[raven wharf]

Call it DRG 2 just to confuse people

[median sleet]

Anyone up for a game of drg 0.5? (project dwarka)

[delicate flax]

Rogan Coran

[celest folio]

how are you guys like survivors ?

[fathom temple]

Loving it, although my Gunner just died because he refused to shoot the mactera boss and I got "Aliens are getting stronger" 7 times before I was literally just surrounded by slashers lol

[celest folio]

is the download issue fixed before i buy it

[fathom temple]

Seems to have, mine stalled for about 30m and then zipped back

[unreal kraken]

Yeah I saw some update on reddit that it's fixed now

[velvet marsh]

People once talked about how gsg likes to keep story vague so people can have their own headcannon and will continue to do so in the future. I don't believe it. I think DRG 2 will be a single-player story rich game with Kojima-esque hourlong cutscenes

[proven heron]

What is Rogue core?

[sterile falcon]

pinned msgs

[proven heron]

Ah okay

Cool!

[fathom temple]

My headcanon is that DRG exists in the 40k universe and the bugs on Hoxxes are a tyrannid mutation

[silent birch]

I see that dodging a certain number of times is an achievement, what is the dodge key? I cannot find keymapping.

[hollow bear]

In survivor? It's a base stat, so you'll automatically have a chance to dodge when attacked by a nearby enemy

[silent birch]

Ok, so I really need to rethink my stats leveling if I have no dash for the boss then

Thanks

Move speed feels absolutely mandatory

And I think i ma ybe in t he wrong channel 🦷

[fathom temple]

Wish there were cosmetics in survivor akin to the main game

[tawdry frigate]

ur dwarf is pretty tiny and there's no multiplayer to speak of to show your stuff to.

there is one singular "cosmetic" if you buy the supporter upgrade, though, which is turning your dwarves golden.

thats all there is however.

[fathom temple]

I always like cosmetics in any game, and there's plenty of single player games where you can still choose how you look.

Honestly I mostly just want beards. I love gunner but a dwarf without a beard feels odd. Regardless, I understand why it's not a focus/feature I still just wish there were some cosmetic things to get/unlock

[manic sleet]

any news on how to get alpha access? if feedback is required, i'm happy to contribute

[cedar kelp]

no news on how to access yet

[celest folio]

wait there's only 3 levels?

or maps wtv you wanna call it

[cedar kelp]

no news about the levels in the game

[raven star]

someone has their priorities straight

[celest folio]

does the game have a good amount of content?

[cedar kelp]

is not in alpha yet, can't tell that

[hollow bear]

You're thinking of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, the other game that released today. Rogue Core is a separate project.

[south wigeon]

Do we have anymore updates on the development of Rogue Core?

[cedar kelp]

they are still working on it hard and proudly!

[south wigeon]

Fair enough. Glad to hear it!

[glossy osprey]

So DRG Survivor is not part of the server? only real DRG?

[tall plume]

Not the same dev team

they have their own discord

[glossy osprey]

OMG. DRG no longer indie

[glossy osprey]

This is a huge discovery

[tall plume]

I guess ?

[velvet marsh]

I suppose most people don't follow it closely enough to know, it's natural to instinctively go same name == same dev

That being said, for Rogue core, same name does == same dev

[kindred mortar]

Im so hyped for rogue core, survivor made the the hype bigger and im so invested in the drg universe

[rich condor]

ah yes my bad

can't wait to play drg 3

[chilly storm]

is rogue core just 3d survivor

[shy cedar]

No

[zealous sundial]

Does this support controller?

[tall plume]

rogue core is is made in the same engine as DRG, so yeah it most likely will

[inland palm]

it’s more like 4d chess but with guns

[bitter cloud]

"I'll check-C4 Scout in two moves."

[rich condor]

sounds cool

[pure vessel]

Very sure it will at some point. I hope to make console and controller UI a bit better this time around. Hopefully.

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-future-is-now-old-man-gif-10300670

[zealous sundial]

I llayed scout and couldn't get past level 3, unlocked gunner and tanked everything until dreadnought killed me. Scout skill issue

[zealous sundial]

played*

[junior mountain]

Isnt the closed Alpha for rouge core supposed to start in Q1 or am I not remembering properly

[zealous sundial]

Wait, wrong game lmao

@junior mountain I was referring to the other game released today, my bad lmao

[pure vessel]

It says so on the roadmap yes, but we still have March

I think we'll update you during our anniversary stream

No idea what the plan is though, I'm working on Season 5, not Rogue Core.

However we will be sharing a little bit of our plans for Season 5.

[cedar kelp]

I'm starting to believe people don't understand how much a quarter of a year is

[pure vessel]

Q1 is January - March

[tall plume]

and you would be correct

[cedar kelp]

I know but people come always saying: heyo, Q1 is almost over where game?

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carrell-michael-scott-wink-yes-gotcha-gif-12364500

People are just excited.

Understandably.

[cedar kelp]

I can understand that but we are barely mid Q1 not almost over Q1 as many people claim

[rich condor]

when the steam starts?

let me guess 30th of february

am i right

[tall plume]

the anniversary stream will be around the 28th

[rich condor]

no way

[cedar kelp]

and probably will recieve info on rogue core to

[junior mountain]

Hey as long as we can see the space rig from the rogue core ship and vis versa, I'll be happy, can't think of two games that run parallel to each other where you can see the two hubworlds, that's sick

[pure vessel]

Yes I think this is correct.

[pure vessel]

I think so. Maybe not right away as Season 05 happens before Rogue Core. But eventually we'll update it.

[tall plume]

Would definitely be cool and I will personally riot if we don't get that

[pure vessel]

You can see the spacerig from the Ramrod though.

[cedar kelp]

is gonna be the old spacerig tho?

[tall plume]

Riot avoided

[tall plume]

this one ?

if so, I doubt it

[cedar kelp]

yeh

[pure vessel]

French riots are scary.

[cedar kelp]

anders, prove your superiority, don't show the spacerig from the ramrod

just to fight the french

[pure vessel]

I think it's based on that, but Robert has already done his magic and it's very cool

It's kind of gotten its own identity at this point. Really dig it.

[tall plume]

Can't wait to see it

[cedar kelp]

dig it? didn't we say this team were not miners why would they ever dig?

[junior mountain]

It's early days but is the inside of the ramroad similar in size to the spacerig? I always thought it'd be smaller but they are massive space ships

[torpid scaffold]

So how's the closed alpha gonna go? is there any way to get in?

[cedar kelp]

nothing confirmed yet

[simple cloak]

should get a bot that periodically says to read pinned messages

[tall plume]

we don't know yet

[rich condor]

yes give drg devs your credit card details

and alpha is yours

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/mark-cuban-shark-tank-notes-taking-notes-remember-gif-15073512

[calm yoke]

Do we have to expect even the Prospector to send complaint forms our way for cluttering the lower orbit of Hoxxes with barrels and other space rig items?

[hollow bear]

BFG10K in Rogue Core?!

[timber vault]

Rogue core where?

[native monolith]

In the core

Careful though -I’ve heard it’s rogue

[fiery grove]

No shot

[inland palm]

when is lmgk2

[fresh jetty]

can we blow up the spacerig from the ramrod

wait please do that and make it uninstall drg from your computer if you do

[rich condor]

sounds cool

[pearl oriole]

hey chat

[long breach]

i feel like that'd be considered a computer virus if it does, but in theory that's kinda funny 😂

[delicate flax]

<@&296918282403840000> can you purge this guys messages 😢 the messages are everywhere

it got banned but someone could still see this and get hacked

[autumn mortar]

Hey, i am new here, what is the main difference of rogue core from base game?

I heard that is a roguelite but nothing more than that

[gritty ravine]

It looks like you dont start with upgraded stuff
And upgrade as you progress through the run

[raven wharf]

pinned messages

[ripe garnet]

Gunner seems pretty shit with the directional requirements, what have u guys found is the best so far?

I played the beta didn't realize this was out until rn

[bitter cloud]

Wrong chat, my guy

[ripe garnet]

Oh lmao

[ripe garnet]

Ngl I can't find the right chat where is it

[hollow bear]

https://discord.gg/drgs

Different devs, so there's a dedicated server

[ripe garnet]

Oh wtf I thought same dev

Thanks

[fathom temple]

Question; did anyone else get a kind of "horror" vibe from the Rogue Core trailer? I'm not gonna lie, a horror-element to DRG would be Karl's-whiskers and I kinda want it. There's been times I'm running around a mission and I'll hear something to my side, toss a flare, and suddenly there's just a legion of gaping maws and it's borderline horrifying, so if they were actually focusing a game on that horror element that'd be awesome

[last pond]

I really hope that there's more horror stuff in rogue core

[velvet marsh]

Same, even if it's just a little bit 😊

[paper ferry]

some spooks here and there

[last pond]

glyphid jumpscare

https://tenor.com/view/glyphid-nonagon-ethosaur-jumpscare-gif-24171114

[harsh lynx]

devs have said they are hoping for rouge core to be darker than drg I think

[native tinsel]

and drg can already be pretty terrifying when you really think about it

[fathom temple]

Oh yeah, absolutely

Like I said, I once tossed a flare down an unlit tunnel and it illuminated an endless row of gaping maws and teeth and honestly I was more spooked with that than with some current horror games that are just gory

[hollow obsidian]

im really new so i dont know what rouge core is please help

[tall plume]

read the pinned messages

[hidden hornet]

[autumn mortar]

yea, especially when drop pod is leaving without you

and when your character says something along the lines of "dont leave me there like you left karl" is horrifying

[native tinsel]

Holy shit what

[autumn mortar]

unused voiceline iirc

yup

[median sleet]

Wrong wiki

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Karl

[hollow obsidian]

thanks

[forest rain]

Face huggers would be fun lol

[last pond]

conceptually pretty cool, how would that work in game though?
