rogue-core-chat

[runic depot]

Since the latest news was interesting, but confused me a bit

[sweet tapir]

Worth it

[icy nebula]

There might be some rare enemies that are a lot scarier than the rest of them

[zinc jolt]

they said they wanted it to be more serious then drg

[olive narwhal]

Reclaimers like spec ops

Super serious well trained or something

[tall plume]

realistically : starting at 15$ in early access, going up to 30$ at full price in 1.0

just like DRG

that's just a guess though

[olive narwhal]

Ima buy so many copies of rogue core

[rich mauve]

Season 5 is prelude to RogueCore. Wonder if RC's enemies will appearing in S05?

[tall plume]

who knows

[idle bison]

i know but i'm not telling you

[vague lintel]

10 000 Rocks and equal no. of Stones

[delicate flax]

so if I buy early access roguen coren and the price increases when they release the game, does that mean I pay the increased price (at a discount) or do I keep the game? (based on how they priced drg)?

[runic depot]

If you had it before the price increase, you just have it without paying extra.

[tawny karma]

the price is the approximate weight, priced per pound, of your mother

[icy nebula]

thats nothing

[median sleet]

You're not supposed to give an actual answer!!

[rotund root]

Just checking if there's any update on the closed alpha release, really hyped for a roguelike based on drg (and also if i'd have any time for it)

[olive narwhal]

Probably wont have any updates till after S5

[icy nebula]

Thank you

[rotund root]

I'll be sure to buy it as soon as it hits early access then (cuz my dad usually don't let me spend over 25 on games)

[idle bison]

I'm excited to have a brand new game from the DRG devs but the first thing I'm doing is trying my best to recreate a DRG class

like oh the game has an assault rifle, a double barrel shotgun, and a grappling hook? I'm going scout mode

[harsh lynx]

if all the utility and weapons from regular DRG are in rogue core, its gonna feel so cursed lol. Imagine having like a flamethrower and a grappling hook.

[cyan geyser]

Have they announced when this game will be available to play??

[idle bison]

no

[sly wolf]

Scout finally gets his revenge, after getting his hands on brand new c4 charge

[gritty sky]

You keep the game, you save money by paying for alpha testing

[idle bison]

yeah you don't lose access to a game after a price increase

that would be insane lmao

[deft mountain]

26 morkite

[sinful yew]

Or 13 dystrum

[delicate wedge]

It’ll cost nothing

BUT
You have to drink a leaf lover’s special

[median sleet]

EZ

[delicate wedge]

WITHOUT any guilt/shame/vomiting/crying

[frigid path]

I ejected all of that vile stuff out the airlock

[idle bison]

i wonder how RC will handle darkness as a game mechanic

I know they mentioned the crawler possibly being angered by headlamps, but the lack of a class system means there'll likely be no flare gun

which brings into question what the balance of darkness will be

[pearl tinsel]

Limited light resources would be interesting imo

[summer axle]

"Balance of darkness" seriously slaps man

[idle bison]

it's my band name

[summer axle]

I was gonna say it should be, or at least an album.

Anyway, 🤘

[idle bison]

I find it amusing that DRG:S uses the "danger darkness dwarves" tagline when darkness isn't a factor at all in that game

[raven wharf]

Not with that attitude

[orchid berry]

I mean, from the screenshots we got, the caves are already decently lit from the environment alone

[idle bison]

hi

[orchid berry]

hello

[fierce solstice]

I honestly would love a random event where there are way less environmental lights

[median sleet]

Close your eyes while playing

[marble lily]

Buff Lootbug

[fallen drum]

You must be a really good scout or play with good scouts

[idle bison]

you misinterpreted the message

i was talking about DRG survivor

[fallen drum]

Ah

maybe its the fact that you can't see whats on the minimap until you've been by it and see it

[rich condor]

so hyped for rouge core after sniss's video

[red portal]

thinking the gameplay at 5:11 might be from rogue core, the guy is using both a leadstorm and a subata as well as having 5 icons on the bottom left corner of the screen

[idle bison]

can you link the vid

[olive narwhal]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTSghU0RjNk

Here vid

[past terrace]

You can also see some gameplay that looks kinda similar to DRG, but it has a large icon down in the bottom middle

I forgot the timestamp

[olive narwhal]

Thats probably roguecore

But cant be certain for now

[olive narwhal]

Since instead of classes i heard something about armour ability thingiee

[past terrace]

There is also the basic perk choice UI shown, although I don't think the video is of high enough resolution to read the perks

[olive narwhal]

Looks like they might be expanding cave gen a bit since they were making point extraction stuff at somepoint

[rain fiber]

Roadmap says early access in November if I'm not mistaken

[olive narwhal]

But based on the closed alpha being delayed would not be surprised if that changes

[rain fiber]

True

[olive narwhal]

But it will come when its ready for community consumption

And i will be their to consume

[olive narwhal]

Think i saw the rogue core starter pistol in that same shot

[astral badger]

https://youtu.be/aTSghU0RjNk?si=xosn6iNGgvHlJXht

BOYYYS

Roger core video

[bright kernel]

he doesn't like julmust, video bad

[harsh lynx]

tbh its more of a dev studio tour, there isn't much Rogue Core in it

[astral badger]

Yes...

I just found the video and shared it, I just ended watching it

Still, good video

[fierce solstice]

hope sniss asked them to buff PGL while he was there

[lost juniper]

Hype

[delicate flax]

holy hell sniss visited gsg

[delicate flax]

and the autocannon

[dusk magnet]

autocannon needs buffing? it feels pretty good to me

then again im running combat mobility so nothing can touch me

[fierce solstice]

Please repeat that sentence in #drg-chat

[delicate flax]

bait

[sly wolf]

Fr, combat mobility is op, it boogles my mind why devs still didnt nerf it. Decreasing the movement speed buff would be a good start

[dusk magnet]

no really i havent stopped using it since i got it

its great on ammo and isnt that bad with damage

only issue is the bigger bugs but thats where the BRT comes in

[delicate flax]

this guy is on a new level of bait

someone is going to fall for it

[tough fulcrum]

So if there aren’t going to be classes in rogue core, are the four dwarves going to still start out looking different/having any different abilities?

[delicate flax]

i think they start with different guns but that's it

and they can mix and match

based on the screenshots I saw

[idle bison]

there's probably gonna be significantly less focus on choosing a dwarf and moreso just making your own

it's vague whether or not you play an established character or just a common job ranking in DRG

but I doubt it's gonna be set up as if it's the same 4 dwarves every time in rogue core

[tough fulcrum]

I’m very interested in how the rogue lite mechanics are going to be implemented lore wise

[tough fulcrum]

That’s fair, but the trailer did say that the ramrod is specifically carrying a crew of four

[idle bison]

would be neat if the reclaimer team were established characters

[simple cloak]

GUYS

idk if I/m' going crazy but sniss video 9hrs ago might have rogue core gameplay you can see in the backgroudn

5:10 timestamp

ohwait im late to the party lmao

[idle bison]

playing a game that looks like DRG but has ults is gonna be weird

[tough fulcrum]

Ults?

Whats that

[tough fulcrum]

Kind of like RoR2?

[idle bison]

ultimates, special abilities that are on long timers

[tough fulcrum]

Ohhhh

I’m too used to acronyms in this server lol

[ivory rover]

RC will have ultss ?

[idle bison]

yeah you could see it in the store page, Phase Suit abilities

[tough fulcrum]

I guess the “classes” will be the phase suit abilities

[brave oriole]

Kinda. From what they have said there will be no "classes" and everyone will have the same stuff, but you can make your own class through abilities like the phase suits. An equivalent in DRG would be the ability to run any primary/secondary combo.

[daring hill]

Tbh I don't think it's the same 4 dwarves as individuals in normal drg

You have the 4 classes but each dwarf you meet is an individual person

Considering the size of the reclaimer ship compared the space rig, I'd assume rogue core will actually be the same 4 dwarves lore-wise

[spring prawn]

Yo wasn’t the ramrod the ship in the original drg trailer? Talk about a callback eh?

Also any news on an open alpha?

[olive narwhal]

Its delayed and probably wont have much on it till post season 5

[zinc jolt]

every time someone says rouge core it gets delayed again

also sniss made a video about going to the gsg studio they talk a bit about rogue core there

[stuck hollow]

Get hype for Rug Core

[quick turtle]

Every time someone points it out I say it one more time

[analog portal]

how else am i supposed to say it? rouje core?

[idle bison]

Rogue Core

pronounced Roag

it's quite simple

[sleek swallow]

but spelled roeaxgh core

[tough fulcrum]

R-oh-guh k-ore

[idle bison]

when will this game be in my hands

I want to eat the game

[median sleet]

I wonder if we'll be playing as the core in Rogue Core? 🤔

[tough fulcrum]

Deviant center

[stone jacinth]

R'houge core, like Q'ronar

[sly wolf]

I want to go Rouge all over the elite dworfs

[zinc jolt]

rouge core is now delayed by 2 decades (one minute for each time rouge core is said)

[hollow kestrel]

fwiw sniss does go by they/them pronouns

[zinc jolt]

oh ok

[wary tiger]

please do not the rouge core

the rouge core is delayed by 24 years now

[idle bison]

development of rouge core was postponed indefinitely so they can focus on rogue core

[craggy flax]

i came here to ask when will roguecore will be released and everybody is joking about i will never be 💀

[verbal wolf]

Reaug Coor is postponed until season 5 of DRG releases, and season 5 of DRG is postponed until Rooj Kor releases.

[hidden hornet]

That's a new one for me "reaug coor"

[idle bison]

all we can say is some time after s5 which'll be in June

[simple cloak]

expecting it to be at least 3 months after season 5 drops

[subtle prawn]

||rogue core||

[wicked dagger]

did not know the devs were making another roguelite aside from drg survivor

this looks even more promising

[fierce solstice]

survivor isn't developed by GSG btw

it's published by GSG but it's another team working on it

[wicked dagger]

ahh ok i see

is there any news when rogue core or drg survi is being released to 1.0

[fierce solstice]

no

[rich condor]

||rouge core||

[sly wolf]

Rouge Core will be released after community says "Rouge Core" 1000000 times

Its a test for our cooperation and communication

Cause devs love CO-OP so much

[harsh lynx]

What about Rogue Core though

[sly wolf]

Cancelled in favour of Rouge Core (Rouge Core turned out to have a bigger % chance of succes)

[verbal aurora]

but what about roggy cory

[fringe pasture]

Why is the core such a rogue

[sly wolf]

Cause it went Rouge

[sacred tundra]

“The core has gone rouge” 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

[burnt flume]

Heave-ho for Rogue and Core 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[wheat pewter]

the core game is rogue-lite

[fierce solstice]

thank you jerma

[zinc jolt]

do you guys think that rogue core should include looping (taking all the items you have back to the first floor again)

risk of rain 2 has it

gungeon kinda has it sort off

but should rogue core have it

[idle bison]

my guess is it won't launch with it, but it'll have an endless mode eventually

endless mode is always the biggest request when it comes to roguelites

[zinc jolt]

maybe

[inland palm]

guys we need buddy bot in rogue core but he’s reskinned to look like lloyd

[lime tapir]

i really hope we will have glyphids.

[median sleet]

We will

'Don't worry. As of me writing this the Glyphids are still around and they are a good way to get a feel for the difference in strength of the new enemies when you fight them both.'

[lime tapir]

that sounds so interesting

[dusty schooner]

Really hope they're going for a huge variety of unique enemies as opposed to a select few enemy factions with a ton of enemy types in said factions

Kinda hope Ghost Ship adds a few adapted fantasy creatures into rogue core but it might not make sense given how Hoxxes is very much it's own animal kingdom

But I could see golems making an appearance or some type of other fantasy race intervening mid run to try and stop the reclaimers

[delicate flax]

can he be better than bosco's useless vanilla ass

[west warren]

osr solo would be so bad without bosco

[zinc jolt]

maybe they will make something completely different

[west warren]

yea i ddnt realize this was rogue core chat when i replied

[zinc jolt]

haha

[idle bison]

rogue core wont have a companion bot at all, iirc

[zinc jolt]

huh

[idle bison]

refer to this message

[zinc jolt]

ah so you can find a bot like bosco on the missions

thats cool

[idle bison]

Maybe

[zinc jolt]

maybe maybe

[west warren]

ohhh i hope leeches return

[tough fulcrum]

HELL NO

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-scream-yeah-hockey-kid-gif-24698394

[grizzled lotus]

yes

[rose snow]

have they said how much rouge core will cost yet?

[idle bison]

no they haven't, but we can wager it'll be $15 in EA and $30 on release

[grizzled lotus]

2,000,000 credits. Gotta get to work in those mines if we wanna get promoted to reclaimers!

[idle bison]

assuming they believe the scale will be the same as DRG itself (which if anything, it has the capability to be even larger)

[craggy flax]

what?! we won´t be able to buy RougeCore with DRG credits?

[idle bison]

no but you might be able to buy rogue core more cheaply

they mentioned putting the games in a bundle specifically so you can get RC cheaper if you own DRG

[tacit stirrup]

Awesome sauce

[rain fiber]

Wait rly, is there a link to the source?

[severe tartan]

Will their be unskippable adds in rouge core?

[idle bison]

what kinda question is that

[craggy flax]

that would be awesome, everybody need a pause to relax

[old swift]

a good one

[craggy flax]

now... what is rogecore? exactly DRG 2? DRG:iceborne?

[idle bison]

read the steam page

it's a roguelite

[craggy flax]

im googling "roguelite"

[idle bison]

risk of rain 2

basically, DRG's normal gameplay comprises of jumping into a mission and completing your objectives while fighting off theoretically infinite amounts of enemies. if you fail, you fail.
DRG rogue core's gameplay loop, from what we can assume based off other roguelites, will be a bit different: the goal IS to kill enemies, and as you kill them, you get stronger throughout the mission
the game will allow you to progress even if you fail a run, and the game will be designed around you not succeeding at a run for your first few hours

less of a get-in-get-out mission style and more of a gauntlet where things ramp up, both on the enemy and the player side

hopefully that makes sense

[rain fiber]

So like DRG survivor?

[craggy flax]

drg survivor is a roguelike?

[idle bison]

DRG survivor uses roguelite elements yes

[rain fiber]

I can't tell diff between lite and like, i just know its random builds every run

[idle bison]

the difference is complete nonsense. there are folks who tell you the difference between a roguelite and a roguelike is whether or not it has meta-progression, but i don't think it matters

just call it whatever you want

[rain fiber]

aight, that makes it easier understand

[craggy flax]

and rougealike?

[rain fiber]

Now thats new

[idle bison]

imo the only pedantry that really matters when it comes to what makes a "true" roguelike is if it actually is the exact same genre as Rogue, with turn-based combat and tile movement

[craggy flax]

im more interested about the lore. what are those dwarves doing in rogecore? just surviving?

[idle bison]

you should really check the steam page lol

the lore is that mining operations for a unique mineral have all mysteriously gone dark, and we play as elite dwarves tasked with reclaiming those mining ops

[solid bane]

It would be sick if some queen bug mission was added

[rain fiber]

When the Elite dwarves aren't enough, they send in the true elites

[solid bane]

Like a deep dive but the last mission is to fight this queen bug with oppressor as guards

[craggy flax]

i need aswers!! when I dig out an egg what is that thing that makes wailing sounds?!

[idle bison]

some part of me still hopes we get a roguelite game mode built into DRG itself lol

[rain fiber]

We won't get that in the game. Well the QnA says so

[idle bison]

DRG is not a lore-driven game and I love that about it

[solid bane]

Hm

[idle bison]

like no y'all we're not gonna learn about Karl in rogue core

[stable spindle]

Word is that they have only friendly fire on 20% of their mission

[solid bane]

What when’s rogue core coming out again

[rain fiber]

whats free fire?

nvm

[stable spindle]

Misspelling

[rain fiber]

November or smth this year? Idk I'm just happy that I don't have to face those new enemies yet.

[idle bison]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rain fiber]

A goblin could steal GSG files and run off with it and they have to delay it again

[solid bane]

I forgot

Mb

[idle bison]

ur good mate

that's just my way of saying we don't know

[solid bane]

Fair

[craggy flax]

ill play it. any other recommended?

[idle bison]

roboquest roboquest roboquest roboquest

i bought roboquest exclusively to tide myself over while i wait for rogue core and it's great lol

the best practice you can get for rogue core is probably just regular DRG though lol

[inland palm]

guys did someone say robo quest

[dusty epoch]

Does rouge core have a release date yet?

[sly wolf]

Yes, when we say "Rouge core" 1000000 times on this chat, it will be released

[craggy flax]

its like DoomEternal but less...sacrilegious

[strong carbon]

What happens if we say "rouge core" 3 times into a mirror with the lights off?

[sly wolf]

Jacob will manifest behind you and will inprison you in the space rig barrel

[limber sparrow]

Doom is the most holy game out there, you're basically space-jesus with a shotgun, defending earth from the hoards of hell.

[zinc jolt]

no

[flint matrix]

After reading about the Crawler, I kinda think that a semi-horror theme (sorta like the vibes you get from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games) would suit well with the setting

[worldly sundial]

A snork just... crawling around in the caves of Hoxxes.

[inner walrus]

What's up?

[earnest fulcrum]

That’s why management doesn’t like you kicked them, they’re afraid they’ll break open and the captured humans will get out

[waxen nova]

have they confirm the price tag of rogue core?

[tiny notch]

all your worldly possessions

[waxen nova]

dang guess ill be homeless

[delicate flax]

8 magnite and 30 credits

[pale lintel]

1 rock and 3 stones

[simple cloak]

I only got 4 schmeckles

[pale lintel]

The council will deliberate

[icy nebula]

realistically : starting at 15$ in early access, going up to 30$ at full price in 1.0

just like DRG

Thats what they told me when i asked

[fierce solstice]

who told you that ?

[icy nebula]

This guy

[idle bison]

we don't know really but we can assume that A. the game won't exceed $40 when fully released and B. the early access will be cheaper

[waxen nova]

15$? what a steel

[icy nebula]

Fr, DRG for 10 euros was a steal during the sale, probably one of my favorite games of all time, i got it 22 days ago and already have 57 hours

[lost sun]

I don’t think it’ll ever go above 20$

[fierce solstice]

You forgot the "just a guess" part

[idle bison]

20 sounds pretty low for a roguelite I'd say. I expect 25-30

[carmine zenith]

This is a roguecorelite

$500 or nothing

[idle bison]

give me $5

[rain fiber]

I'm looking at the steam post for the game's roadmap and I've got a potentially stupid question. Is there a newer version of the roadmap or that was the only road map we got that was released 5 months ago?

[tall plume]

there's no newer version

unless you mean for S5 ?

Rogue Core basically has nothing new to show for now

[rain fiber]

Damn, I hope we get an updated version of the roadmap soon,(maybe in a month or 6?)

[daring hill]

we'd probably get another rogue-core-specific one once season 5 is out

[raven wharf]

Rogue core is going to utilize an experimental pricing model. The price of the game is randomized across every steam account. Some will pay $5. Others will pay $80. It's a real life rogue like.

By the way, this is my idea. I'm selling it to EA.

[lavish lava]

[brittle ether]

fr

[median sleet]

Make the higher prices give you a rarer game version.

70$ = 'epic' version, it puts a purple border around the game icon

[delicate flax]

i suggest they add a rogue core to drg rc

it would be super cool

and they would also say "the core has gone rogue"

and there should be a special material you can mine near the core that's more valuable than nitra

[zinc jolt]

the price of rogue core is convincing tater to give it to you

[frigid path]

ez, Tater loves me

[brittle ether]

How do I become a tester like you? (I'm sorry if I'm not allow to ping you)

[proven jackal]

Hello

I keep dying only 3

Waaay too many spawns

Any tips

[rocky dove]

Loot fast
More bugs will spawn the longer you spend in a stage

[median sleet]

I assume you'll be asked by GSG, and I don't think they need more testers now

[raven wharf]

Recommended by other testers and/or selected by GSG.

[bleak pecan]

So is rogue core a sequel?

[long breach]

a spin off

[bleak pecan]

Nice

[long breach]

the events happen at the same time basically just a bit deeper in hoxxes

[idle bison]

it's weird because we literally already have a core biome

how much deeper can we go

[tough fulcrum]

Apparently a lot

[olive narwhal]

We finally may know the diameter of the moon

[brittle ether]

Thanks!

[frigid path]

At least 1 deeper

[small merlin]

How horrific and eldritch is rogue core

[olive narwhal]

Take a look at the prototype/concept enemy and find out

[small merlin]

Oh I’ve seen

But I’m curious if the game itself is scary, horrific, etc.

Or if it’s just the physical enemy designs

[olive narwhal]

Body horror a bit more it seems

[tall plume]

it's not going to be a scary game, if that's what you mean

[small merlin]

Thanks, not opposed at all to it being scary but just curious what direction they were headed.

[stark elbow]

what even is rogue core? ive heard alot about it but have no idea what it is

[tall plume]

pinned messages

[idle bison]

i'm gonna say it'll just be horror-themed without the game directly being a horror game

think l4d2

[fluid lake]

l42d is pretty horror lol

[idle bison]

it's not a horror game though

[sly wolf]

Its a core that went Rouge

I though the title is pretty clear

[bold hawk]

i just looked at the update log, and WHAT IS THAT CRETURE!?

[sly wolf]

Its Steeve after a year on Hoxxes (he saw Karls true form)

[craggy flax]

roguecore will be a horror game confirmed

[sly wolf]

S6 = fnaf?

[lethal rapids]

Hopefully Mission Control isn’t the man behind the slaughter!

[sand vale]

Purple guys long lost cousin green guy

[small merlin]

Wait think about it

Scout is blue

Engi is red

Red+blue makes purple

See where I’m going here????

[lethal rapids]

I see

[tough fulcrum]

Blue and yellow makes green

Scout + driller = gunner

[solid rune]

i want nightmare fuel enimies in rouge core

[tropic gyro]

@cunning agate bro LETS GAME

[finite hound]

anyone know how to maybe get a experimental build for rogue core?

[fierce solstice]

Yeah, get a time machine first of all

travel into the future and get the build

[finite hound]

i was being serious lol the store page for it says there will be some for those interested in the development for the game

[fierce solstice]

The closed alpha is supposed to occur later this year and the devs will probably do a mix between picking people themselves & randomly

So unless you're someone who got the devs' faith for a very long time you'll have to rely on your luck

[indigo slate]

any info on signups

[long breach]

not yet

[indigo slate]

i WILL get in one way or another...

[median sleet]

the closed alpha has been delayed

[finite hound]

thx for the info

[winter violet]

shit

drg chat hath fallen

[tough fulcrum]

Trillions must mine

[rich condor]

ro||ug||e core

[idle bison]

bro has one joke

[tall plume]

like everyone else in this chat

[idle bison]

it's what makes us dwarves

[velvet marsh]

Heh, ehehe, hey guys, you think rogue core will have mushroom? 🤣🤣

[icy nebula]

If it doesn't i wont buy it

[idle bison]

in that regard I think DRG has a few too many fantasy forest biomes and I hope DRG:RC is almost entirely just cave/rock stuff

I don't dislike the bogs or the weald but I wish the ratio of cave to foresty/flora areas wasn't so off

[olive narwhal]

I hope rc still has a altimeter so i can continue to speculate the diameter of hoxxes 4

[cedar kelp]

but the game is set at the core of hoxxes, the deepest we can get

[sleek swallow]

he's going backwards

[cedar kelp]

-"How deep we going?"
+"Yes"

[sleek swallow]

instead of going even deeper, he's just leaving

or better yet

after he goes the deepest possible, he starts to measure while leaving

[olive narwhal]

I do wonder how altimeter would work in the core

[twilit perch]

I've been playing too much ultrakill can't wait for this to come out

[forest rain]

So I heard this game is supposed to be deep rock but more focused on action/combat is true

[tall plume]

pinned messages for info

[forest rain]

Will be on console

[idle bison]

no word of such yet, I doubt it'll be on console during early access though

DRG itself was in early access for 2+ years, so it'll be a while

[forest rain]

Dangit so I have to beg a pc

[indigo slate]

has it?

it starts in november, no?

[fierce solstice]

it was supposed to start in Q1

[indigo slate]

man wtf

[fierce solstice]

they decided to focus on S5 more which as a consequence delayed the closed alpha

[indigo slate]

i honestly have no clue on how they're going to develop/manage two games at the same time

[median sleet]

It releases into early access in november (hopefully). The closed alpha was supposed to happen in q1 but has been delayed

[fierce solstice]

early access will probably be delayed as well

[raven wharf]

The two games have a shared foundation. This means that core development on one can transfer to the other without much additional work. Stuff like the procedural generation or movement systems. GSG has been cleaning up the code in DRG for a few years now, presumably in preparation for RC to be developed alongside DRG.

[idle bison]

how many gigs will the game be

[tough fulcrum]

All of them

I’m ready to buy another M.2 drive

[indigo slate]

thats actually neat

Storage? To be determined
Ram usage? To be determined

[fierce solstice]

3 gb according to the steam page

as jimmy said

[delicate flax]

Watch it increase to 4gb once rogue core fully releases

[simple cloak]

[fierce solstice]

[forest rain]

I've only now realized that the Crawler is reminiscent of the sleepers of GTFO
Awesome

If it's really going to be an enemy type which you can either stealth around, or awaken hordes of, that's gon' be a grand ol' time

Or perhaps it's more of a scout which alerts other kindsnof enemies when disturben from its dormant state?

[fierce solstice]

I doubt stealth is an option in rouge core

[forest rain]

I wish it's at least optional in some parts

It would really help the more horror-focused tone of the game

Which Drillinginthenameof talked about

And I was delighted to hear

But also hearing that it's more coop oriented, would also make sense

Since you have to work together to individually avoid and or dispatch these creepy crawlers, since if one of you makes a mistake, you might all be doomed

[fierce solstice]

Considering how people are insanely bad when it comes to coop stealth i doubt it's gonna be a thing tbh

[forest rain]

I'm just enjoying theorizing about Rogue Core taking inspiration from GTFO, since its the pinnacle of coop games and has some amazing ideas, concepts and mechanics, but the devs didnt really expand upon em

[fierce solstice]

most people have the brain of a baboon

they see an enemy and go unga bunga

[forest rain]

Maybe Rogue Core can do it better, while also keeping the spirit of DRG

[forest rain]

[fierce solstice]

Well i'm all in if there is a GTFO-like properly done honestly

[forest rain]

:D

[fierce solstice]

Considering how the GTFO devs had a freaking diamond mine in their hands and threw it into the bin for some reason

[forest rain]

One of the issues with GTFO is that it is so difficult to the point where it literally drains your sanity

[iron sparrow]

I cannot wait for rouge core man it will be so sick

[fierce solstice]

It's not that hard actually

But the thing is the game heavily relies on strategy & good reflexes

Not to mention they also nerfed the whole game a lot through much better weapons & remade levels

In any case i doubt rogue is gonna rely on strategy that much

[iron sparrow]

That’s fair

[fierce solstice]

Some strategy would be nice without it being the whole point of a run

[forest rain]

Exactly

[forest rain]

Eh, I disagree

I believe the weapons are not useless garbage anymore, rather all of them has their role. Except the HEL Revolver... And then Scattergun...

[fierce solstice]

shotgun was heavily buffed, burst cannon existed for some reason, R4 Hel Rev was the best primary of the whole game, R4 sniper sentries, R6 burst sentries, R7 sniper sentries with biotracker symbiosis, scattergun as you said, spear that could kill over 10 enemies if you rotated fast enough, boosters (R5 especially), the amount of enemies legit halved between OG & remade maps, a lot more resources overall

I can keep going, but the point is they claimed themselves as the developers of a hardcore coop FPS, only for them to greatly nerf it for the sake of getting more players (which didn't change anything since the new players complained about the game being too difficult, they nerfed it again, and the cycle repeated till R8)

All the while disregarding the many problems the game had, such as the lack of content (which was partially fixed by making the Alt rundowns), the sheer amount of bugs (some bugs from the alpha ver are still there, cf red dot on bio), the devs going on holiday 6 months a year, and probably more i didn't mention

Hopefully none of this will happen with GSG devs as they've proven it, but at the same time you can see some similarities with GTFO when you look at DRG (lack of proper balancing for the sake of more released content for ex), but the doubt still persists for rogue core

Over the past 4 years i still don't understand what was going on in the GTFO devs' brains to completely mess up their game when it had the potential to be one of the greatest horror coop FPS in existence

[forest rain]

And that puts the period at the end of the sentence

[fierce solstice]

a relatively long sentence, but yes

[forest rain]

Amazing game - unfit devs

[fierce solstice]

pretty much

[forest rain]

Hopefully Rogue Core will be the sweetspot between GTFO and DRG

Cause as far as I know, no game like that exists

But even if it isn't

Whatever GSG really puts their mind and heart to turns out to be at least an 8/10

A line most AAA games struggle to reach

Best case scenario - we get a masterpiece
Worst case scenario - we get another amazing game

[iron sparrow]

Either way it will be peak

[forest rain]

Either a new, amazing and creative spin to the genre (peak) or a genre redifining game (peak)

Rougelike + Coop + FPS + Horror + Horde shooter + tactical elements?

Like, sign me up.

And even otherwise, sign me up still ahhah~

[north yoke]

Is the update out?!

[idle bison]

rogue core won't even be the same genre as either of them so probably not

[forest rain]

Coop horde shooter with horror elements...

It has more in common with GTFO and DRG (minus the horror from DRG) than not

[idle bison]

rogue core is not going to be a horde shooter

[forest rain]

That's like saying Risk of Rain 2 is not a horde shooter

It is, just not the convential type

[idle bison]

i don't think it's going to play like ror2's roguelite gameplay loop

[zinc jolt]

what the fuck is a horde shooter exactly

[idle bison]

i expect something more like roboquest, where the amount of enemies is on the lower side but they're all tanky

[forest rain]

Mhm me neither

[zinc jolt]

like if its just shooting hordes then of course rogue core is a horde shooter

[forest rain]

Ther is big enemy amount and you go boom boom

[idle bison]

i would personally define a "horde shooter" as any game where the enemy count is theoretically infinite and the objective (most of the time) isn't to kill them. l4d2, payday 2, DRG of course

[zinc jolt]

ah ok

then rogue core is going to be a horde shooter 50% of the time

[idle bison]

the devs mentioned that the bugs are going to drop expenite, i think

[forest rain]

Said it better than I ever could

[forest rain]

Ohhhh?

Interesting

[idle bison]

which makes me think they'll be finite

[idle bison]

thanks lmao i think about this way too much

[forest rain]

Either that or the expenite dropped is extremely miniscule

But I mean-

GTFO is a horde shooter too

And in many of the missions enemy amount is finite

[idle bison]

is it? i thought it had a pretty defined horde system

[zinc jolt]

game genres are wacky sometimes

[forest rain]

Your definition is still very solid, just like yeah, there are always exceptions

[forest rain]

Nope - each mission is it's own thing

[forest rain]

Yeah...

[idle bison]

i mean yea, just look at "boomer shooter"

[forest rain]

There ar missions where there ar constant hordes coming and you have to either run or disable an alarm, and there are missions (most of them) where you initiate an alarm and an infinite amount of enemies come until you disable the alarm

[idle bison]

hell, "roguelike" is a messy genre name in itself

[forest rain]

Rougelike, rougelite, rouge my behind

[idle bison]

but generally i think rogue core's gameplay loop is unlikely to be similar to DRG or GTFO

[forest rain]

Hopefully, yes

And hopefully it still has some elements

Of both

But i was very surprised (pleasantly) when i learned that the enemies in RC will be very different from DRG

As the Crawler proves..l

That damn abomination

[idle bison]

like i've said before i imagine RC will have horror themes without being much of a horror game, similarly to left4dead

[forest rain]

Yes!

Exactly what I've been missiong from DRG

But it didn't really have much of a place anyway

It's just not the game's theme

As I've said before - RC is hopefully the sweetspot (atmosphere and theme wise) between DRG and GTFO

[idle bison]

i just want to play it already

[median sleet]

?

[rare birch]

Co-op game with normal enemies, special enemies and bosses.

Special enemies tend to be some sort of tanky unit, or two of them, one of which is the more armored variant and the other is more like a bulldozer, one is some sorta grabber, there's the exploder archetype and the slowdown one too.

Can be class based but not always, can be campaign based but also not always.

[rare birch]

like and lite are different

Roguelikes are permadeath with no meta progression, lites usually have perma upgrade paths like vampire survivors

[forest rain]

" 🤓 "

(<3)

[forest rain]

Ah, much appreciated for bringing forth already known knowledge - for practice makes perfect!

[rare birch]

Says in the steam description tbf

DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite twist means you start from basics in each mission and cooperatively build up powers and abilities for the team, sometimes leading to insanely overpowered builds and other times to spectacular flops.

[stray timber]

[forest rain]

Is rogue like starting to be a thing in the gaming now

It seems like a lot of games are roguelikes or have rogue like modes

[tall plume]

It's been a thing since 1980

[forest rain]

But I mean like I’ve never really heard of it until now

[tall plume]

It sounds like you haven't been around gaming for a long time then, no offense

Roguelites really started to blew up past 2010.

and became increasingly popular over time

[idle bison]

the two most popular ones are probably binding of isaac and risk of rain 2

[tall plume]

Dark Souls being a huge hit during an era of gaming where a lot of games were starting to do a lot of hand-holding showed there was a good market for games that were more challenging - which roguelites (and roguelikes) usually are. Dark Souls itself incorporate many element from that genre.

In the subsequent years, a lot of well known roguelites came out : Risk of rain (1 and 2). Binding of Isaac. Darkest Dungeon. Dead Cells. Just to name a few.

Faster Than Light, too. Forgot that one.

[idle bison]

roguelite FPS games in particular seem to be their own little niche thing

there's immortal redneck, roboquest, gunfire reborn, void bastards

excited to see how rogue core distinguishes itself from the existing ones

[tall plume]

yeah

those are fairly recent

[idle bison]

immortal redneck predates ror2 and you can tell LMAO

[tall plume]

I mean in general

[idle bison]

yeah i getcha

it's this sorta trickling down of elements from other genres into basically every game. like now even rogue core is gonna use white/green/blue/purple/orange rarities

which really makes me wonder if rogue core is gonna have random crits lol, it'd actually be an outlier if it didn't

[tall plume]

every genre is blending into each other in some ways, which is pretty cool. Lot of opportunity for creativity.

Looking forward for seeing a 4x shooter one day 😂

[idle bison]

4x?

[tall plume]

4X game are things like civilization

[idle bison]

o

[tall plume]

4X (abbreviation of Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate)

subgenre of strategy games, basically

I'm pretty sure we already have turn by turn shooters 🤔

[idle bison]

there's a game that came out last year that's a mix between an RTS and an FPS

[tall plume]

it's just a step away from putting strategy in it

[tall plume]

nice

[idle bison]

i'll post it in #non-drg-chat

anyway

seen it mentioned before but i'm already not a huge fan of how the upgrades we've seen seem to be locked behind specific weapon types

[tall plume]

we've seen like one screenshot

I wouldn't make a lot of assumptions from that tbh

so many things can still change

[idle bison]

definitely

probably one of the first things they'll change lol

[indigo slate]

ok

the question

is rogue core going to have redditor memes in it

or is it going to be what drg should've been

(the spooky grimdark cave exploration game)

(starring dwarves who are sick of being exploited but they want to get paid)

[raven wharf]

While the topic is on the specific game itself, there is plenty of very good commentary on the genre as a whole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH5ohcGnRm0

[idle bison]

read the latest pin

[indigo slate]

yes, i saw that

[west warren]

lol no

its a roguelite its not gonna be horror exploration

u should look at the steam page

[indigo slate]

wow i had no clue

any other grand revelations

[west warren]

"is it a grimdark cave exploration game"
"no"
what are you confused about. if you read the pins you're caught up

[indigo slate]

that isn't what i said

at all

[west warren]

?

[west warren]

??

if this is the question the answer is no

[indigo slate]

brother

all i asked

was if rogue core will have redditor shit in it

[west warren]

like voicelines? probably

[indigo slate]

a shame

[west warren]

cope

[idle bison]

probably not at first, at least

doubt it's gonna have the flanderization from day 1

[fresh jetty]

I mean the devs said this game would be different thematically. Not sure what you even mean by “what DRG should have been”. Drg has been pretty silly from the start

[main palm]

I have no clue what redditor shit means

[west warren]

as a big boy, i couldnt help but notice space dwarf fantasy could be dark+gritty-er

with serious dwarves

[indigo slate]

whats your issue

[west warren]

at first I thought u were actually asking about rogue core but then i realized u were just complaining and the thought of dark gritty drg is funny to me

[indigo slate]

i am asking about rogue core

if it will be silly or serious

thats all

i have no issues with silliness

just some of the voice lines do get a bit irritating occasionally

[west warren]

guess i misunderstood what u meant by "any reddit shit? unfortunate"

[indigo slate]

i suppose

have a good one

[indigo slate]

as corny as it might sound, i liked the original DRG atmosphere of the pre and post alpha

wondering if rogue core will have it

looks promising

tbh

wonder if normal drg and rc will have some kind of crossover (besides S5)

[toxic acorn]

It won't besides the like rly minor stuff u already mentioned

The devs said so themselves because they dont want people to feel like they have to play both the games to understand anything

I forget where exactly I read that tho probably here somewhere

[rich condor]

rouge core is out!

[lapis silo]

I bet it will come out in early june if they are sticking with the q1 release plan

[delicate flax]

i love the new glyphid queen boss in rogue core

[bright kernel]

You were the one to randomly say ski##di in this chat 🙄

[simple cloak]

[median sleet]

They aren't, also q1 ended yesterday

The devs confirmed the closed alpha won't be happening in q1.

It probably won't happen until after s5 has released

[zinc jolt]

i have high hopes for this game

while i do really like the rogue like genre a lot of the games tend to kinda blend into each other

but i hope rogue core will be really unique with its gameplay, especially with the horror stuff

[old swift]

drg's cave gen and destruction already sets it apart from most things

tcf on the epc is more unique and interesting than some whole weapons and i think it would be a hugely wasted opportunity if nothing like that was implemented as weapons in rogue core

not tcf necessarily (though i would not complain), but weapons that interact with the game in all ways

terraforming, mining, combat

[zinc jolt]

yeah that would be cool

[vocal jewel]

would be really cool if rogue core had some bread to cut with my bread cutter

i love games with bread generation & bread destruction

[zinc jolt]

i still hope they bring back the old classes in some way like i cannot exist without at least one driller on my team

[old swift]

if there are no random upgrades that allow you to completely obliterate cave systems i will be mildly disappointed

i just want to materialize an excessively long tunnel

[zinc jolt]

We shall see

i hope they make something like the tonic from ror2

[long breach]

GSG’s irl lootbug needs to make a cameo in rogue core or sth. I throughly enjoyed reading the new steam blog post😂😂

[zinc jolt]

i didnt

lets hope they dont make one about the irl cave leech

or the irl detonator

[storm mountain]

I hope so too 🫠

[long breach]

Hello arvid, is the radiation poisoning catching up to you yet?

[storm mountain]

idk, I cant feel my left leg anymore, is that not normal?

[long breach]

Dont think so. Have you gone to a doctor at all?

[storm mountain]

my contract says I cant contact medical professionals unfortunately

[long breach]

Oh
Not even for common colds?

[median sleet]

Will the loot bugs in Rogue Core be closer to the irl version?

[brittle ether]

oh god please no

[indigo slate]

and

[stray timber]

I am going to eat precious minerals

[hollow bear]

Lootbug dreadnaught?

[lapis silo]

Do you have a separate team on rc or are you working in parallel?

[median sleet]

As I understand it right now the focus is on DRG s5. So most people are probably working on that

(not a dev)

[hollow bear]

Look like a dev to me

[median sleet]

if core == rogue:
release == true;

[torpid raft]

hey out of curiosyty, Roug core will be a bit more thrllery/scary than drg right?

[sterile falcon]

RC isn't set on hoxxes 4 right?

[tall plume]

it is set on Hoxxes 4

I'd suggest to read the pinned messages to read all the info we have

[sterile falcon]

i have read it before but forgot most of it 👍

[wary tiger]

release = core == rouge

[lapis silo]

I just want a new biome

[delicate flax]

It is set in the rogue core of hoxxes 4

[delicate flax]

Yes

But thats subjective

[lapis silo]

Why don’t they just make a separate hardcore mode for a really really really dark biome with completely different mobs

Spooky vibes

[tall plume]

they already said why

[tough fulcrum]

That’s what Rogue Core is

[lapis silo]

Talking abt drg

I like the idea of rogue core but expanding drg would be cool too

Imagine coop campaigns kinda like sea of thieves

[vagrant current]

I vote for adding the real life loot bug to rogue core

[tough fulcrum]

That’d be one hell of an enemy in the fire

Core

A mutated lootbug

[verbal wolf]

The Coor is Reaug because a Loomtbuge ate it.

[inland palm]

I think the core is gonna go rogue all over the place in rogue core

[rich condor]

ro||ug||e core

[sly wolf]

I still cant believe the Core really went Rouge, it was so out of character

[rich condor]

cant wait to see famous rouge the bat in the drg rouge core

[gritty sky]

drg realistic models mod

[celest viper]

Minimum required specs:

[wheat geyser]

is there any information about the alpha test?

[stray timber]

I think sometime in the summer

idk tho

[sacred tundra]

The ootbug

[hard cradle]

Will rogue core have the same artists for the OST?

Can't wait for more bangers

[hollow bear]

Nothing yet beyond it being pushed back for s5 focus.

[full canopy]

we can't send screenshot but you can see on steam the roadmap where it says it will come in november

mb november is for the early access

[indigo slate]

add chainsaws to rogue core

[burnt flume]

Rouge*

[rich condor]

yea rouge

[bright kernel]

It’s pretty sad that people keep misspelling “rouge core”

[zinc jolt]

if they do this they better also add that circlesaw from payday 2

[eternal oxide]

Red core

[zinc jolt]

me when we run a joke into the ground so hard it will never be funny ever again

[robust night]

[sly wolf]

Maybe this way we gaslight everyone it was always supposed to be called like this

[verbal aurora]

mfw roger roger

[lost sun]

when is aqua core coming out

[burnt flume]

Grass core when

[stray timber]

loot bug core

[sacred tundra]

fibre optic cable core

[burnt flume]

pewdiepie core

[celest viper]

Karl core

[raven wharf]

Already hit that point. Now it’s just embarrassing.

[celest viper]

Already hit that point as well. Now I'm dead.

[median sleet]

I am glad I never made that joke

[rocky dove]

True!

[celest viper]

I wonder how rogue core in general feels like

Either it's completely different or somewhat simillar compared to drg
I'm going to enjoy it

[hollow bear]

Familiar, but unfamiliar, I'd wager

[celest viper]

U played it?

[median sleet]

Watch Sniss's and Drilling in the name of videos about visiting GSG they talk about RC for a bit

[hollow bear]

Nah, just judging from the screenshots we saw and that it's in the same engine/style as drg

[celest viper]

Fair

[zinc jolt]

haha yes same i would never be unfunny on the internet

[fresh jetty]

I thought it was funny the first 200-300 times. got a little less funny the 4500th time I heard it

[supple verge]

Hey, how do I get early access?

[harsh lynx]

#rogue-core-chat message

[median sleet]

You don't

You buy the game once it releases into early access

[carmine zenith]

[strong hatch]

how do i sign up for rogue core

[median sleet]

You don't

At least not yet

[old tree]

your Tellin me a Rogue made this Core ?

[sleek swallow]

how's Rogue gonna get a Core now?

[idle bison]

i hardly know core

[dusk magnet]

is Roguecore a kind of music?

[indigo slate]

guys......................

we have to find the rogue core....

[delicate flax]

why is the core rogue? is he angry?

[fresh jetty]

The cores not angry, he’s just been dealing with a lot right now. The core and I have felt it’s best we take some time apart. Remember, your core loves you very much

[hollow wolf]

The core likes stealth and backstabs

[topaz trail]

Has everyone gone rogue for the core?

[proud kayak]

No the core went rogue for us

[long breach]

some people are probably going rogue waiting for rogue core to come back

some prefer to go rouge i guess

[proud kayak]

Wdym come back? It's an entirely new game.

[long breach]

i know its a new game, i meant it like the core that went rogue as if i ran away to do some rogue stuff kind of 😂

[proud kayak]

Ohhh right

Well I get the feeling we'll be introduced to a new big bad because of how it said in the notes the creatures were 'born/grown like this'

so you know they may be thinking of someone creating these eldritch horrors.

[long breach]

yeah, i know at one point they were looking at biblically accurate angels for inspiration

[forest rain]

I only recently got base drg what is rogue core

[daring hill]

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

[sand vale]

I think the one thing pretty much everyone is hoping for is a fully grown dreadnaut

[median sleet]

Drg spinoff, see pins

[proud kayak]

It’s basically that DRG found a very rare and expensive mineral near the core called extremium or smth and they set up digs there.

Then the digs just disappeared so they’re sending in dwarf “reclaimers” to find out what happened.

[long breach]

Expenite, but yeah basically that 👆

[lime bloom]

[solar umbra]

Do we know when the alpha/beta will be yet? Or did I miss it

[wary tiger]

you mean a funny shade of rouge?

[indigo slate]

he betrayed us

so he dies

[quiet kindle]

yall whats rouge core-

[idle bison]

for one it's Rogue Core

for two, I recommend you peruse the steam page

it's a spinoff of DRG that'll play like a roguelite instead of a horde shooter

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

[pale mountain]

I am kinda interested in this Rogue Core game
mostly excited for those crawlers -w-, look scary in my eyes, I no big fan of horror, but it would be nice to see a horror drg type game :p

[junior stag]

I'm hoping I see my best Glyphid buddies 🙂

[inland palm]

why not both

[idle bison]

eh i mean maybe, but i doubt it. at that point there'd be no reason for it to be a separate game

vermintide 2 has a roguelite mode built into it that's pretty well done

[slender basin]

this be looking fresh

can't wait for it to come out

[brave oriole]

The main reason we currently have to why its not DRG is that base DRG was too restrictive to allow for a randomization or wider weapon variety, so it very much still could be. That be said I doubt its gonna be a full on Horde Shooter, and will likely just have similar elements to one. Kinda like how ROR2 isn't a Horde Shooter but still has you shooting hordes of enemies.

[junior barn]

i'm still confused because it still seems so similar to drg

[fierce solstice]

imagine DRG but roguelite

[junior barn]

Yeah but why not just a new gamemode in normal drg

[fierce solstice]

It was supposed to be

but the thing is there were so many ideas coming from that concept that it couldn't fit in the base game as a seasonal content

hence why they made it into a new game

[junior barn]

Hmm ok

[zinc jolt]

pretty sure it will also have brand new weapons and enemies

stuff like that

[idle bison]

yeah it's not gonna be a modified version of DRG, but an entirely different game built on the same foundation

ngl though I do think a roguelite game mode in DRG itself could coexist with rogue core lol

like screw it man why not both

[zinc jolt]

just add infinite deep dive mode with upgrades along the way

i have been saying that for the past uhhhhhhhh 6 months?

(i have literally only said it like twice)

[acoustic cipher]

Fr

[idle bison]

chaos wastes my beloved

let me have like 12 perks in one run

[zinc jolt]

2 steeves

[harsh lynx]

According to the YouTubers who got to briefly play the game it is very different to regular drg. My guess is there is a number of major things that are different but Devs haven't told us since it's early in development and could change

[rocky dove]

#rogue-core-chat message

[pearl tinsel]

Some kind of infinite mode would be cool

[sweet tapir]

Maybe in S5? 🤔

[fierce solstice]

what is this one yapping about

[celest viper]

what's S5 title

[fierce solstice]

Blue core

[celest viper]

Fr?

I heard it's like prologue of RC

Prologue core

idk

[steel hearth]

Prolouge core

[sleek swallow]

it's a prelude

[chilly pelican]

Prorogue

[indigo slate]

prerogue

[pale lintel]

Closed Alpha or something else?

[median sleet]

They visited the GSG office and got to play Rogue Core there

[hollow palm]

Closed beta

Very early iteration of the game. Learn more from the respective YouTubers

TLDR: Rogue core is good and fun and surprisingly different feeling from DRG

[tall plume]

Closed alpha would be the term.

[forest rain]

Basically very early

[verbal wolf]

And season 6 is Epilogue Core.

[hollow palm]

Makes more sense yeah

I think I assumed beta because betas usually have invites

[pale lintel]

That's pretty cool

[burnt flume]

Season 5*

[velvet marsh]

No season 5 is prologue core

[tawny moat]

Is there any rogue core gameplay?

[fierce solstice]

no

[rugged hazel]

did the closed alpha come and go already then?

[carmine zenith]

yeah, you didn't bribe me quick enough

[rugged hazel]

i figured people could of signed up on steam but it mustve been super closed then huh

[raven wharf]

So closed that the testers haven’t even played it yet.

[mild oak]

I wonder if rogue core will have a sort of stealth element to it, like ways to avoid combat.

unlike drg's kill everything you see type of gameplay

[bright kernel]

rouge core*

[raven wharf]

No, stop it. Intentionally misspelling it to make fun of the people who don't know the difference in spelling has become annoying.

[delicate flax]

i bribed you months ago and you never gave me my access 😭😔😢

[sleek swallow]

that's because you didn't also bribe me too

there is a hierarchy of bribes you gotta get through, since I am the lowest in the hierarchy, you have to bribe me first of course

[delicate flax]

i sent 10 magnite in your mailbox

[forest rain]

Okay Mr. CoMmUniTy TeStER

You're really testing our community here

[median sleet]

They're right, it's no longer funny. And you know it's really unfunny when even I think so

[sleek swallow]

having been active in a game's server that has the name "rogue" it stopped being funny to me 5 years ago

[cobalt ridge]

Are you on the verge of going rogue

[stray timber]

[summer hemlock]

What is a "rogue core"? Is it like endgame content like deepdives? ...sorry i'm new to the game =/

[rocky dove]

Upcoming drg spin off game

More information about it is available in the pinned messages

Its gonna be a roguelite

[long breach]

You can also check the store page for rogue core if you havent yet too

[tall plume]

🙏

[frigid path]

I wonder if the ramrod will have any easter eggs from the old space rig designs

[raven wharf]

Shooting Range
Coming Soon Never

[frigid path]

Shooting range but it’s just a single arcade cabinet in the middle of a big room where you can shoot virtual targets

[tough fulcrum]

I’d be interested to see how in-depth the ramrod will be as far as where you can go. I feel like there’s at least going to be the four cabins, maybe a proper armory instead of the workshop corner we have in the rig, I imagine an engine room, and then a briefing room/bridge and a hanger for deployment to the planet

[steel hearth]

I can't imagine they won't have a bar. They're more professional than the miners, but they're still dwarves.

[pine charm]

They said Lloyd won't be returning

[slender basin]

lloyd was found eaten by a lootbug

rip lil dude

[pure vessel]

Yes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

[tawny moat]

I didnt have to click to know what this was 💀

[pure vessel]

Your loss

[sly wolf]

Looks fire 🔥, cant wait for the open beta!

[frigid path]

Can’t believe i’m only hearing about this gameplay now, would’ve thought it’d be more talk about considering everything that is shown

[sly wolf]

Is it even on the steam page?

Did you guys forgot to post it there?

[frigid path]

Probably too busy playing Helldivers 2

[median sleet]

Mods, pin this

[pure vessel]

Nah. Just not ready for human eyeballs.

[frigid path]

Good thing we’re all dwarves here

[long breach]

Is it ready for dwarven eyeballs then? 👀

[rich condor]

core is so rouge rn

[frigid path]

Click the link and find out, if you still have eyes then it’s ready for dwarven eyes

[long breach]

I already clicked it lol

Maybe its the new dance we’re getting

[sly wolf]

Yea, the dance emote at the end was cool af, I hope it comes to drg in s5

[pine charm]

Damn, that ||give up|| mechanic seems like prime psychological warfare between the player and devs

[burnt flume]

i feel like ive seen this YT link before

[severe birch]

3rd time this week

[lyric obsidian]

whats this about rouge cores?

are those the things you use to get Overlocks?

[idle bison]

rogue core is a spinoff that's yet to release

thus this channel is unrelated to DRG itself

[zinc jolt]

no, thats matrix cores

[long breach]

if you insert a rogue core into a core infuser, you'd probably create a tear in space time, then an error cube will shatter your skull moments later

[zinc jolt]

you can instead try and inserting a rouge core into a core infuser, if you do that you will simply become unfunny

[hidden hornet]

I did that and the core infuser spawned 50 bulk detonators

[idle bison]

that's how you unlock sonic

[blissful sparrow]

Is the rogue core edible

[delicate flax]

Yes

i can confirm (i playtested rogue core) (this is a totally real statement)

[blissful sparrow]

Huge win

Play tested or taste tested

[celest viper]

Play taste tasted

[inland palm]

if ur hungry enough

[pine charm]

I'm really hoping Rogue Core will expand more on the lore of DRG than what DRG did

The universe is ripe for expansion

[frigid path]

Since the theme seems to lean towards more of the dark horror aspect we could get some dark Karl lore

[tiny nexus]

Karl... didn't have a beard!
dun dun duuuun

[frigid path]

Game is too scary

Almost had a heart attack

[hollow bear]

Hoping to come across my rig17 dwarf's lost pack in the RC caves

[sacred tundra]

Can’t be true

[celest viper]

I really want to know who's the ceo of drg really is

[devout scarab]

it was me all along! change my mind

[celest viper]

<- this guy
Cuz it has the same color as

[devout scarab]

||😶||

[sacred tundra]

True

[dire marlin]

nice

[burnt flume]

The CEO of DRG was an elf all along and we got played without knowing

[earnest fulcrum]

I will blow up hoxxes if that’s true

[celest viper]

[burnt flume]

We must riot brothers, we want answers

[verbal wolf]

The president of DRG is implied to be a devil by the Horned Horror cosmetic.

[toxic pebble]

The Stone has been Rocked!

[midnight gulch]

how can we join alpha

[tall plume]

there is no alpha going or scheduled at the moment

[carmine zenith]

Vegans aren't allowed in anyways

No leaf lovers

[median sleet]

Vegans eat more plants than meat eaters though, so techically they kill more plants than us

[carmine zenith]

Nope. We grow and kill plants to raise the cattle and poultry we then eat. And then we eat veggies on top of it

[median sleet]

My brain didn't think that far ahead

[carmine zenith]

And on top of that we kill plants to clear space for said cattle

[median sleet]

you were playing chess, whilst I was playing checkers

[delicate flax]

True dwarves only eat turkey sandwiches and beer

[blissful sparrow]

I eat dystrum

[dusty schooner]

This guy is kinda freaking awesome

[raven wharf]

Natures meat piñata is extremely energy dense and full of nutrients.

[grizzled lotus]

same

I have always said it tastes like thick chunky beef.

no one beleived me 😦

[blissful sparrow]

Kinda got a blue flavor to it

[hidden hornet]

Lads I'm from the future, the developers renamed the game to rouge core

[forest rain]

Leaf and Log

[fringe pasture]

The core went rogue...

[burnt flume]

That rhymed lol

Wait no

[burnt flume]

The center of the planet has undergone an unstable phase

[vocal jewel]

its not a phase mom

[rich condor]

oh man core is so rouge today

[brazen kettle]

mane can we copy l4d2 enemies

in rogue core

the charger can be replaced with a plant-controlled robot shooting a projectile that moves as the same speed as the charger. The sounds of the projectile should be a good indication

after one shot it will take quite a while to recharge so it will hide

[idle bison]

but why

[brazen kettle]

coop

[sacred tundra]

True dwarves eat rocks

[brazen kettle]

mane would be cool if rogue core has an enemy that launch white sticky glue to slow down players while blinding them like l4d2 boomer, this has great meme potentials. Maybe it uses a caulk gun to do that?

[grave cradle]

Web spitter doesent exist i guess

[brazen kettle]

pretty sure if it's a thing but the glue is in a different color, somebody would make a mod to turn it white

[brazen kettle]

yeah uh we gotta give people something new than just bugs

the whole bet c being controlled by plants

so maybe a DRG's robotic department location got inffesteed could be a great start

plus robot has a different behavior from bugs

it does suprise attacks then scoot

a normal hoxxes bug is too slow for that

[raven wharf]

Rival incursion. Have you been living underneath a rock?

[grave cradle]

Plants???

They closer to a jellyfish

[brazen kettle]

ok they are animals

yeah i dont know the lore so i dont know what rival incursion has about this

[long breach]

well the rival presence warning is still available sometimes. And then you can play those seasons again once season 5 rolls out with the ability to replay previous seasons

but it's bots, and like, the caretaker originated from that season

tho i guess parasitic enemies that infected the abandoned equipment is possible

[brazen kettle]

Yeah we really should lean into bio-tech fusion aesthetics

R&D messing with stuff and it went wrong

wait

the name of the game is "rogue core"

wait damn dig sites

they are going to dig sites

i forgot about that

maybe they create research bases there

messing with the wild life, testing robotics, etc etc

then it went wrong for some reasons

they did their research there because if you know anything about rock pox, bringing stuff from hoxxes to space rigs or anywhere else is not really sustainable

if teh research is done on site, if bad things happen, the damage will be limited there

not to mention, since this is on-site, deployment of new technology will be quicker

and more rapid

plus if they need materials not available in hoxxes for research DRG can just send down equipments along with supplies for mining operations
