rogue-core-chat

[royal axle]

Well, s5 is supposed to be the prelude to rogue core, and keeping in mind how they want to visually design rogue core enemies,

The chance is pretty close to 100%

[mellow osprey]

anyone wana do this rouge core thingy with me?

[tall plume]

[mellow osprey]

?

[modern nymph]

no

[zinc jolt]

yes

[modern nymph]

today is not 32nd november

[zinc jolt]

Yes it is

[pallid garden]

if rogue core can nail what I love about portal so much, the huge abandoned corporate endeavors, that'd be awesome

[celest viper]

Is there a crawler civilization?

Deep core city

[velvet marsh]

take me down to deep core city

[celest viper]

you're going to maxico

[fair star]

If this city will have this theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzXtYhCoTpM&ab_channel=JamesAlbert then I'm buying Rogue Core

[celest viper]

cap, you'll buy rogue core anyway

[fair star]

How good is it? I didn't follow news about it much

[celest viper]

we don't know about it that much, but I'm really looking forward to it considering that the core stone mission event in S5 is actually high quality

[forest rain]

deep core city sounds like something that'd be in a south carolina town for a tourist trap

[ivory spire]

Deep core city is literally just Arkansas

[fresh canyon]

7/10

[gloomy tapir]

I don't think the crawlers are intelligent, they look pretty feral. But they're the only corespawn we know about, so there could be others that are intelligent enough to have built cities.

[celest viper]

Like non-crawling creatures

[gloomy tapir]

Exactly

But to be completely honest, I think a subterranean city of cave people, regardless of how high or low tech they are, is a pretty played out trope and I instead hope the Core aesthetic doubles down on the weird purple energy reality warping stuff, with the corespawn being all levels of eye-bleachingly horrid.

[delicate flax]

Crawlers are just mutated dwarves

[tropic surge]

rogue core

[elfin garden]

Will rogue core get a new discord server?

I spelt it wrong again damn

[rocky dove]

No #rogue-core-chat message

[pure vortex]

I need rogue core

CUZ LORE

I also think the rogue core dudes might be stronger cuz I think they are actual soldiers

But our Drg dwarves are just miners

Or I could be wrong and they are both miners

[ivory spire]

DRG is inherently a mercenary company, its employees are soldiers

[celest viper]

agreed. there aren't much lore in drg universe

I also want to know if glyphids and core creatures are friendly each other

[pure vortex]

Ofc hoxxes creatures would never hurt each other

It's essentially the games rule except for steeve

[celest viper]

tru

even lootbug is chilling mid swarm

and I want to know if there are other types of minerals in rogue core

not just expenite

simply because I want to eat them

||I swear I'm not a lootbug||

[grizzled surge]

you shouldn't eat precious minerals, it'll get you killed

[pure vortex]

I killed a lootbug and I'm not so proud about it

[cerulean tundra]

I HATE NATURE!

[elfin garden]

I really need more actual lore of the universe of drg

It can make a crazy story

[cerulean tundra]

Same. What is morkite? What is nitra? How much is a Drilldozer? What other things have been discovered in space? Do the Dwarves Fortress?

How can beers made by established breweries be made by Lloyd out of ingredients found on a mostly undiscovered planet?

[elfin garden]

How big is the company? Where are all the leaf lovers when dwarves are this advanced?

How many other races are there and what are they doing?

[cerulean tundra]

Honestly I’m pretty sure that Management are Leaf Lovers, and the Rivals might be as they aren’t “man enough” to send actual people into the mines.

[elfin garden]

Maybe yeah

It seems they are more advanced tho

Bc every machine DRG has just breaks down

[pure vortex]

Rivals might be humans or the leaf lovers themselfs

[cerulean tundra]

Maybe that’s just because DRG doesn’t spend that much on equipment.

Like how truck unloading machinery at Walmart uses Windows 10 because they don’t want to spend the money to make an actual operating system for said machinery.

[elfin garden]

Deep Rock Galactic seriously needs to invest in some better equipment

[cerulean tundra]

But we don’t know if there are humans. The dwarves and Leaf Lovers might be vibing on one side of the galaxy (or a completely different galaxy) while humans are still here on Earth.

[pure vortex]

Well originally all leaf lovers dwarfs and humans are from earth

[cerulean tundra]

Or maybe the dwarves are humans that have evolved/mutated due to living in space. Have you seen what a year in orbit has done to the bone structure of astronauts?

[muted sphinx]

I'm fully convinced that deep rock is after something on Hoxxes they don't want anybody to know about
they've mentioned they have like 89-100+ space rigs across multiple planets

[cerulean tundra]

Or maybe they mutated from a nuclear war like the fantasy races in Sword of Shanara.

[muted sphinx]

hoxxes IV is like the galaxy's gangrenous armpit, there's no way one planet is worth all this trouble

[cerulean tundra]

Well…with all the gold, Morkite, Nitra, other ores, and farmable plants they’ve been pulling from it. And whatever the Ommoran Heartstones are…yeah no, it does seem to be worth it.

[elfin garden]

And the expenite now as well

[cerulean tundra]

Oh, and the valuable crystals (aquarqs, Jadiz, and Bittergems)

[elfin garden]

So much stuff

[muted sphinx]

yeah but still you're telling me one rock is worth multiple resupplies, hundreds of bullets, and an entire drilldozer when you can have multiple dozers mining on less dangerous planets without exploding
expenite is probably what they want the most i'd reckon

[cerulean tundra]

Seeing as they’re sending in the Reclaimers to get it…yeah, probably.

[muted sphinx]

I do wonder what makes Ommorans so valuable and weird
maybe their ability to basically act like a living thing and manipulate stone to defend themselves is some sort of practical ability

[cerulean tundra]

Expenite is likely expensive

At least the alien eggs make sense. Bioweapons.

[muted sphinx]

and very tasty served with salt and pepper in the morning

[sullen drum]

It's way more valuable then dotty at least

Idk why

[muted sphinx]

they probably want omorrans for the same reasons they want kursite and ebonite samples, hoxxes has a lot of melding the line between geological and plant/animal life

[cerulean tundra]

But they aren’t even collecting Kursite. Just grinding it up for analysis. And the Kursite creatures don’t exist outside of the machine events.

[sullen drum]

If you have a massive galactic scale economy some freaky rocks could be valuable enough research material to send like 1m tall dwarfs down a hole with some mass produced guns

Like the dwarfs are tiny

To scale everything isn't-that- big

[cerulean tundra]

Still pretty big. Average dwarves are about as tall as, say, my belly, so that would mean that the glyphids are the size of dogs.

It would still terrify me.

[muted sphinx]

they're probably elusive, they mention drawing the kursite insects out for the event so it's likely kursite avoids the dwarves/keeps to itself
and grinding up kursite for analysis is still collection of a sort

would also make menaces humongous

[sullen drum]

Steve is like basically a golden then

[muted sphinx]

you never really realize how big they are until you shoot one down and check the corpse and it's like two dwarves long

[cerulean tundra]

Maybe the dwarves aren’t actually short, but rather they are just called “dwarves” in the galactic community for their love and skill of mining, forging, and alcohol.

Pretty much they are dwarves because of culture, and not biology…kind of, because they can still drink over seven Blackout Stouts and not get lethal alcohol poisoning.

[bronze matrix]

I heard that the player models are all 1 meter tall according the the engine, so they are indeed short.

[sleek swallow]

of what? drg?

they're 165cm

so 1.6m

[bronze matrix]

Them's tall dwarves lol

[sleek swallow]

that they are

[bronze matrix]

Double checked. I do remember reading 1.5 meters now, I just misremembered. Still, I guess you got to be one of the biggest and baddest dwarves around to throw down with everything Hoxxes has to offer.

Hyper aggressive giant bugs, Hyper aggressive plantlife, killer robots, a planetarybplague from god knows where, and whatever black magic the Ommoran Heartstones conjure...

And now whatever Rogue Core is gonna conjure

[celest viper]

HOW IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE SHORT
IT'S KINDA AVERAGE SIZE

[sleek swallow]

I am sorry to break it to you but average height is like 175cm

[celest viper]

Then why am I not called as dwarf

[sleek swallow]

can fix that

dwarf

[celest viper]

[devout scarab]

i believe we checked it recently and they're like 150cm

but maybe people are just taller in the DRG universe

[celest viper]

Thanks god

[sleek swallow]

thanks god? or thank god?

not that I am saying the gsg devs aren't gods

there are many deities

[devout scarab]

also if you spend a lot of time in space, you get taller due to no gravity pulling you down

[celest viper]

Mb, Tank god

Cuz Ima blow you up

[celest viper]

Perhaps they've spent too much time around uranium crystal

[summer ferry]

a lot of the things down there are unique to hoxxes and how crazy it is, there are unique minerals and resources only found here, and considering they are one of the two mining companies on hoxxes

They have a unique resource that they can export elsewhere, they don't care enough about dotty's which are probably made so cheap they aren't even worth attempting to recover, unlike Mules or drop pods

Unique creatures, minerals, and other oddities add up when it comes to exclusivety and money makign potential -w-

[round terrace]

12 pounds of that rock has the power capacity to be used as a dwarf portable handheld beam cannon, and its made pretty explicit that the limiting factor is not the rock. the device’s safety shutoffs are to protect the internal circuitry because DRG material science couldnt keep up

A few complete ones put together in a circle could probably recreate the death star’s superlaser array

[gloomy tapir]

Hmm, that makes me wonder if we'll see more ommoran style nonsense in rogue core

[narrow dragon]

So like, the rock itself has damn near infinite power?
Im curious then, what exactly does engi do at the supply pods then to get more "ammo"

[round terrace]

No you power it with batteries

To my understanding, the rock acts as a capacitor (the magazine) as well as the laser focus

[narrow dragon]

That actually makes a lot of sense
Do we have any idea how much power an ommoran holds though?

[round terrace]

Tube in front is full of various gases to tune the beam to do specific stuff

We can estimate it from the description

12lb of hearthstone if powered long enough will eventually build up enough residual wasteheat to explode the weapon with the force of ~1000lbs of tnt or about 1/200th of the average US nuclear warhead

Or something

Alternatively, the stone does generate power and its the batteries or the gas that degrades

[lime tapir]

i take it as that as well lol

[muted sphinx]

yeah the heartstone piece is chilling but it's just so strong that the weapon has fuel/battery/overheat limits because DRG literally has not created the proper technology to harness just 12 pounds of it

[lime tapir]

i feel like the dwarves, elves and humans in the DRG verse are just... humans with different ears and maybe chubbier and more muscly (dwarves)

that's my favourite interpretation

[muted sphinx]

and the full heartstone is shown to be a pretty damn strong enemy, picking up and hurtling rocks like it's no big deal
can only imagine what the full heartstone can do if just a small chunk of it can create enough power that it's difficult for the weapon around it to keep up without just falling apart

[fair plume]

Or you see on the shard defractor there are two bars a red one and a green one the green one refeels its self so that could be the the ommoran since it generates power and the red bar is the bateries and that would make sence cuz maybe you need external power to start the machine up cuz if not the gun would be alwais shooting

[sand vale]

You gotta consider how expensive the drilldozer would be, and that drg sends a brand new one down there for every single heartstone and makes no effort to salvage it

So that rock is valuable enough that they can throw away a likely very expensive piece of machinery to get it and still make enough profit for that to he worthwhile

[visual pecan]

very expensive

paper thin armour

hmm

[vocal jewel]

cardboard

[solid glade]

quick question, since i couldnt find out with some (admittedly very little) looking, when/how would one sign up for the closed alpha?

wait i should look at the pins

[simple cloak]

[celest viper]

Btw, expenite sounds like a silly dwarf named it

[sleek swallow]

maybe the devs are silly dwarves

[celest viper]

Maybe

[daring hill]

no info yet but IIRC DRG had closed alpha sign ups, its likely rogue core will be the same

[solid glade]

cool 😎

[full flare]

hey guys, I might be blind, but for me the steam page is showing as if the game is currently avaible on EA, but there is no option to buy it. Is it realeased for a selected testers or the steam page is trolling me?

[tall plume]

it's not currently available to anyone

when it will be available, it'll be in EA but the game isn't released yet

[narrow dragon]

Ohh wait

Isnt rogue core the like

Drg but rainbow six extraction point

I think i seen the trailer

It looks fucking GORGEOUS

[tall plume]

not really

[full flare]

oh ok ty!

[zinc jolt]

when i saw EA my mind went to that one company we shall not name and i was very confused

[ivory spire]

Yeah same

[main grail]

Extreme Acoustic

[celest viper]

Everyone in this chat did

Even devs as well

[weary quest]

EA and drg are not words i want to hear in the same sentence

[cobalt ridge]

let me help then

remember when drg was in ea?

[zinc jolt]

in rogue core you will now see an ad every time you press the W key

[marsh arch]

wait EA?

[velvet marsh]

Early Access

not Electronic Arts

[chilly pelican]

Advertisement for the new paid battles pass and loot boxes

[carmine zenith]

Electronic access

[rocky dove]

Early Arts

[brave moss]

do we know if DRG's chat & VC systems will be in this game?

[cerulean tundra]

I don’t see why they won’t be

[brave moss]

noice.

[cerulean tundra]

Tried the experimental build of Season 5 yesterday and it actually does explain this in the situation briefing. Apparently ||Morkite is either extremely rare or just completely nonexistent on other planets. That’s why so many missions revolve around Morkite, the reason why DRG is still mining the planet is because of how valuable it is.||

||All the other minerals are just secondary additions. The company’s main drive on Hoxxes is to mine Morkite.||

[proven fractal]

Isn’t there only 2 missions about morkite

on site refinery and mining expeditions or whatever they are

[olive narwhal]

The new mission is also morkite relevant

[delicate flax]

MORKITE SEEDS

MORKITE EVERYTHING

MORKITE GOLD

MORKITE.. we should get a morkite skin

[olive narwhal]

Although apparently they have found a second large interest in expendinite

[main grail]

Unobtainium when

[cerulean tundra]

Three now. Which is still more of a pattern than the other missions show. They seem to be more auxiliary tasks such as clearing out a large nest, gathering eggs for research/bio-weapons, salvaging a failed mission, and warfare. The Drilldozer mission does not count because it is gathering a different highly valuable rock.

Oh and Point Extraction

I just forgot that it existed

[cerulean tundra]

Not yet though. Rogue Core isn’t out.

Expenite has not yet been discovered.

[devout scarab]

maybe management knows, but only tell reclaimers 🤫

[cerulean tundra]

Then who’s building the dig sites? Management certainly aren’t down in the mines doing it themselves.

Especially since the trailer states that the Reclaimers were called in after the coreward dig sites went dark. So they had to be built by someone.

Unless they salvaged enough technology from the Rivals to be able to make self sufficient robots that can survive in the deep without being annihilated by the wildlife like DRG’s past attempts were.

[devout scarab]

i'm thinking morkite missions can happen simiultaniously as expenite extractions happen elsewhere

[celest viper]

How deeper is rogue core compared to deep dive?

I mean deep dive is pretty deep tho

[exotic matrix]

Presumably rogue core is waaaaaaaaaaay deeper.

Even deep dives are still in relatively upper layers of the planet.

[agile meadow]

Is there any gameplay footage so far other than pictures?

[rocky dove]

No

[visual pecan]

morkite:

https://tenor.com/view/earth-round-gif-23061966

this is awful

[sly wolf]

There was a scam link

Mod forgot to delete my message after getting rid of it

[celest viper]

America is now invading for morkite

🇺🇸🇺🇸

That's right, hoxxes became a part of usa

And glyphids are officially american

Nope

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[celest viper]

Based

[marsh arch]

good good

[nimble glade]

How does one sign up to participate in the future closed alpha for Rogue Core, or is there not a system set up for that yet?

[long breach]

no sign up yet. but soon tm

[nimble glade]

Ah, ok

Can't wait

[long breach]

though realistically, probably not until the end of the year at least

[nimble glade]

Also, I don't know who is in charge of Ghost Ship's Steam pages, but the living roadmap on Rogue Core's steam page is not up to date. I'm not upset or anything, I am up to date via DRG news, but figured I'd just put something here on the chance a dev or someone in charge of that sees it.

[weary quest]

games in testing phase so there might not be a roadmap for updates on the game

[chilly pelican]

I think they meant the roadmap that said the game would release around the end of this year, would make sense to just update the dates on that

[tall plume]

it's not even in testing phase yet

it's still in the "designing" phase

[weary quest]

im not very familiar with how games go in terms of development so oopsie :3

[royal ice]

Wait, really? I thought its coming out in 2025 🤔

Would it still be in designing phase with a year left?

[tall plume]

it's coming out in early access in 2025

[royal ice]

Ah, welp

That is an important detail, right

[tall plume]

indeed

[royal ice]

🤣

[tall plume]

😄

[main grail]

There are deep dives in rogue core?

[tall plume]

read the pinned messages

you'll have all the currently available info

[main grail]

I know

God I'm bad at communicating

[tall plume]

actually no, I just missed the other message, you're fine

[main grail]

Smh I have a meme for this
But I don't have the rights to post it

[lofty heart]

When is the early access

Nvm

[cerulean tundra]

When the Core goes Rogue (it’s sus)

[median sleet]

Once season 5 releases gather as many corestones as possible to make the core go rogue faster

[gloomy pumice]

i think its interesting to note that dystrum and aquarq are blue too

[slender oriole]

Imagine if this actually worked lmao

[grizzled lotus]

I can't wait to fight the S5 crawlers

it looks so great

[gloomy pumice]

im interested to see how they affect build viability because armor break has been seen by a lot of people as worthless for anything besides shellbacks and brundles for a while but then the stingtail got added

[muted sphinx]

Idk if they'll be a huge upset

from what I've seen, they move quickly but aren't super duper meaty in terms of armor, the head's the big weakpoint

so unless the rest of the body takes like no damage unless you break their armor it'll probably be fine
I hope they can show up rarely in normal missions outside of the Core Stones though

[fervent rover]

im fixin to dump ALL my nitra when the patch drops

ya feel me?

whoops wrong room lmfao

[lost sun]

there should be a streamer mode where once you enter a upgrade screen chat has 5-10 seconds to pick ur upgrade

[verbal wolf]

So the StS Slay the Streamer mod in Rogue Core?

[languid lake]

can we anticipate a season six within 12 months or is rogue core going to be the primary focus?

[native crystal]

they said they are going to start thinking about season 6 after rogue core is in early access, so well over a year until s6

[cerulean tundra]

Good thing we won’t be stuck in Season 5 this time with the new Season Terminal.

I liked Season 4 and I liked the Rockpox. But I got sick of meteors landing in nearly every single mission for the past year.

[hybrid badger]

how do you collect one of the new things for season 5? i couldnt deposit it and leaving with it in the drop pod was also wrong

[olive narwhal]

Calls down a separate pod for it

[languid lake]

oh alr

[wild kiln]

I wonder if there will be turrets in rogue core

[lost sun]

turrets on wheels

[autumn sage]

It was a very weird choice to start development on 2 spin-offs at once

Guess time will tell if rogue core is gonna be unique enough to warrant being its own thing

[tall plume]

that's literally why it became its own thing

[autumn sage]

We won't know for ourselves until it's out..

[median sleet]

DRG:S isn't made by GSG

[tall plume]

yeah I don't get that line of thinking at all

[autumn sage]

You don't get the thinking of players forming their own opinions on a product?

That's pretty simple

[tall plume]

No, I don't get the line of thinking of "let's see if it's enough of a game to call it a game"

it's just weird and sounds biased as hell

[autumn sage]

I said we'll see if it's different enough to stand out on its own, which we won't know until we can play it

It's pretty simple

[tall plume]

from all we know, it's already pretty different IMO.

DRG being mission based while Rogue Core is going to be stage based with in-between stage power ups

this is a huge shake up already to how the overall design is shaped

[autumn sage]

Yeah like I said time will tell

It's pretty standard to not take stuff at face value till you get to experience it for yourself

[tall plume]

yeah, that's perfectly fair

[autumn sage]

I do hope the spin-offs will flourish but obvs there'll be mild concerns from players

[lavish hull]

who thinks Rouge Core and the new in season event is very Stranger Things inspired?

[simple cloak]

I thought the point was that it is unique enough to be its own thing. That it doesn’t make sense for it to be confined to the base game anymore.

[errant parrot]

Will their still be mining missions in rogue core?

[fresh canyon]

Just because rogue core was too big to fit into drg as a gamemode doesnt mean itll stand on its own as a game necessarily

[simple cloak]

Game quality is it's own thing, we're talking about " if rogue core is gonna be unique enough to warrant being its own thing "

[tall plume]

no

not exactly

[umbral lotus]

I think it's more to explore more handmade level design that wouldn't work in drg with traversal tools and terrain deformation being such a big part of the game

Like exploring the surface or abandoned outposts wouldn't really work in drg

I mean it probably would but it would be weird

[simple cloak]

Precisely why it’s better for it to be it’s own game, it grew up from a dlc and into Rogue Core

[olive narwhal]

Essentially being restricted to a expansion restricted its potential

[median sleet]

I wonder if s6 is gonna be when the greyout happens. Since in s5 there are some voicelines referencing dwarves being at the core

[tall plume]

pretty sure S6 is coming after Rogue Core in the timeline, meaning the greyout would already have happened

[median sleet]

Which timeline? The roadmap?

[tall plume]

yeah, you can see it as event timelines to

[median sleet]

IDK I don't think the Roadmap has to line up with the time ingame

since it'd be impossible for GSG to release a RC update at the same time as a DRG one if they ever wanted something to line up

[tall plume]

well I'm also hoping S6 won't be related to Rogue Core tbh

[median sleet]

I think just having some small stuff would be fine, like s5 is now

[lost kindle]

Season 6: Critical Corruption 2: Electric Boogaloo: Rogue Core edition

[errant parrot]

Wait deep rock galatic season 5 is a prelude to rogue core?

[mossy ruin]

yes

confirmed by the last mission control dialogue in the final season 5 assignment

[errant parrot]

final season 5 assignment?

[mossy ruin]

ye, there are two season 5 assignments

[errant parrot]

Hmm isn't rogue core going to lean more into the horror aspect?

[mossy ruin]

supposedly yes

[errant parrot]

Intresting so I assume we won't be minning in rogue core.

[mossy ruin]

who knows
but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have the option to shape terrain

taking control away from players would amplify the horror aspect

[errant parrot]

One thing is for sure I can't wait for rogue core to come out. I will for sure be playing alot of deep rock galactic and rogue core once the game drops.

[mossy ruin]

ye

I like simillar games, like risk of rain, so I can't wait too

[errant parrot]

Having 2 online games that get updates sounds amazing. Games by the same brand but has different aspects.

[errant parrot]

I haven't played risk of rain yet it seems really fun. I love roguelikes.

I wonder how deep the lore really goes if in deep rock galactic when we do get season 6 where the mineral is taing over the sites I wonder how things will change back to normal before the new game releases.

[rotund loom]

CriticalCOREuption

[lost kindle]

if Rogue Core lost the mining spect of DRG, I would lose my interest to the upcoming game

I like mining mineral resources, as I like blowing up bugs

[errant parrot]

Agreed.

[rotund loom]

I assumed the gameplay would be similar to a deep dive with drg-like objectives for each level

[errant parrot]

Interesting

[rotund loom]

But maybe cave generation typically similar to a mining expedition for an exploration approach

[delicate flax]

Obviously we're here to mine the precious glowing minerals, but we cannot forget the main mission is to unrogue the rogue core

[lime moon]

A friend of mine has been wanting Glyphids to have queens for some time… wonder if that'd be something we could see in Rogue Core.

Would it make sense for, like, the real Glyphid nests to be that deep down?

[lime moon]

Assuming that there'll be Glyphids in Rogue Core.

[delicate flax]

There is glyphids in rogue core yes

[green shore]

probably a higher concentration of corespawn I'm guessing

[harsh lynx]

that's kinda what dreadnaughts are isn't it?

[lime moon]

Thing is, Dreadnaughts aren't fully grown. Elimination has you taking them out, "before they grow into something even worse." Not sure if that something is a queen or some other high caste of Glyphid, but yeah.

[lost sun]

What if stalkers came through the holes the core stone rips open? We wouldn’t know since they’re invisible, they’ve only just showed up, and they look wildly different from the other glyphids (minus menace of course)

Which leads into another idea of more wild looking glyphids living down in the core, functionally different than the stalker but looking similar

[valid rapids]

I forgot this was the DRG chat and almost called the FBI

[light sand]

they have said you start each run with a pickaxe and a gun

so mining is 100% in the game

[errant parrot]

Hell yeah time to rock and stone!

[solar hazel]

why did gsg decide to make rogue core separate from drg? would it be worng be rogue core was dlc?

[fresh canyon]

Read the pinned messages

[fair plume]

Does someone know how much is rc gnna cost

[olive narwhal]

probably similar to what drg did in EA

[chilly pelican]

I hope there's upgrade choices to make your pickaxe stronger

Melee focused build with berserker perk and choosing resistance + damage

[burnt flume]

[mental flint]

Is the early access in 2024 still the plan?

[long breach]

Dont think so

[gilded sphinx]

iirc it's the first half of 2025

[median sleet]

I think it's 'in 2025'

[light sand]

Old roadmap says this November but things do change

[zinc jolt]

this server could really use an faq channel imo

[long breach]

the pinned messages are considered FAQ

[zinc jolt]

fair

but bozos like me dont look at the pins very often

[long breach]

but also, lets be honest, even if there's an FAQ channel, people wont read it anyways

[median sleet]

No longer, they just haven't changed the roadmap yet

[shrewd granite]

🥔.

[olive narwhal]

Will probably get changed when they start digging into rogue core again

[thin apex]

makes me wonder, if the core stones will be used in rogue core similarly to risk of rain's teleporter events, but instead of destroying the rifts we'll be able to hop on one and get transported deeper

[remote tusk]

That would be neat

[zinc jolt]

yeah

I'm hoping Rogue Core will shed a little more light on the anomalous minerals of Hoxxes, like Ommorans.

'Cause I agree that DRG could use a bit more concrete lore on the planet, but only enough to strike a balance with the known and the unknown.

(Bungie's) Halo is a great example of that, telling the player just enough for them to know where they are and why these places are the way they are, but leaving a lot of the specifics out, to keep enough mystery for players' minds to wonder.

And Rogue Core presents a great opportunity for the player to discover more about Hoxxes and the things that inhabit it. As we delve deeper into the planet, so too can we delve deeper into the mystery.

That's my spiel for now.

[jagged nest]

Concrete lore is for historians but drg is miners

[worn burrow]

Any new information?

[potent spruce]

Aw no embeds?

Some devs are now playing 'Rogue Core Playtest' Before it was just called 'Rogue Core' IIRC

[zinc jolt]

insane

this must be a clue

a clue to silksong being revealed in 2 hours at the nintendo direct

[median sleet]

Rogue Core playtest nintendo switch exclusive???

[zinc jolt]

breaking news: rogue core can indeed run on a potato

[icy nebula]

I hope rogue core will introduce fun upgrades. In the sneak peek we saw buffs to the overall stats, but i hope there will be cool chance-based abilities like in risk of rain

[raw ridge]

No, it will just have sad upgrades

You don't deserve fun

[icy nebula]

how do you know?

still, with those kind of upgrades its still fun finding all the different weapons and getting good builds, but it does need some spicy upgrades

[olive narwhal]

I assume the phase suits will have stuff attached to them

[median sleet]

When is the Deep Rock Cinematic Universe phase 2 starting?

[raw ridge]

November

[stray jay]

is the crawler ever gonna have an appearance on rogue core too or will it stay as a drg creature

[rare quarry]

You can expect to see crawlers in rogue core

[stray jay]

ahh cool let's gooo

so the crawler was always planned I suppose

[rare quarry]

We were working on them for rogue core before we started on season 5 😄

[stray jay]

im just surprised for a prototype, it did finally made its way officially

looks like we all love the Crawlers

I still love it's design, especially the fake head

it's so cool

[rare quarry]

We do. They're mine, jens-kristains and arvids' baby after all 👨‍🍼

[stray jay]

That's so sweet XDD

as an aspiring creature designer I also sometimes just had creatures I cannae stop tae draw or design XD

[rare quarry]

That's cool

[zinc jolt]

i hope there are going to be more variations of the crawler in rogue core and that they get added to drg too

this is one of the first times i dont mind a direct sequel of a season

[fresh jetty]

they should add a crawler that is nice and kisses you on the forehead

:)

[icy nebula]

crawler dreadnought 💀

[languid jackal]

[frigid path]

Applies the “Sleepy” status effect

and then it tucks you into bed

[deft trellis]

Was there any info on if there will be cosmetics?

[sleek swallow]

yes

nothing too silly though

[deft trellis]

Still cool

I looked at the store page and saw a warning about use of alcohol; Bar confirmed?

[sleek swallow]

it would be sad if the abyss bar or a bar like it didn't make an appearance in the new game

so I am sure there will be one

[deft trellis]

That makes me happy

I wonder if the Ramrod lobby will be more small and cramped, to represent the different scenario than the base game

[faint aspen]

so are the crawlers going to be more or less the same in Rogue Core? Since admittedly as much as I like them as a special enemy in a side event I cannot imagine fighting these things all the time with how jumpy they are, reminds me of Black Ops 2 Zombies' Jumping Jacks, just if they had helmet face plates

[frigid path]

I assume they’ll be different since the ones we fight are called corestone crawlers, so I assume they’re like a subspecies or side species of some sort

[twin ice]

cluster missiles OC is so much fun

[remote gale]

what do you think, how much will rogue core cost approximately?

[carmine zenith]

how much money have you got?

[remote gale]

I guess 9 dollas

[carmine zenith]

hmmmm

we'll take it

[remote gale]

hahaah

[stark fiber]

2 billion dollars

[scarlet lake]

It would make more sense if rogue core was a horror shooter instead of a horde shooter if the corespawn will all be this jumpy

[olive narwhal]

Its not even necessarily a horde shooter tmk

[daring hill]

thats surprisingly honestly, i was expecting it to be the other way around. made "early" for season 5, then ported to rogue core.

[main vine]

rock and stone lads

[signal egret]

when 🫃

[rain fiber]

We had that alr no?

[long breach]

they were originally working on rogue core after season 4 was out, which pushed back season 5. But then it took too long so they went back to season 5 to get it out first, and then will go back to working on rogue core after season 5 stabilizes. Pretty sure the crawler is the same one they showed concept art for rogue core a while ago When rogue core was first announced im pretty sure they did say that season 5 will be a prelude to rogue core then, and now season 5 is out, this is their final decision on how to do it it seems

[rain fiber]

We going down there to get another new mineral externite i think, they revealed it back then

Also take out whatever caused our mining operations to stop. I assume the rest of the dwarves aren't able to deal with it either died or stay up in the space rig and let the "Elites" handle it.

[long breach]

expenite yeah

[rain fiber]

"Elites" looking foward to the dumb sh*t we do as the "Elites"

[delicate flax]

Rock and stone is banned in this channel. You can rogue and core instead.

[hearty path]

You called?

[thin apex]

I assume the Corespawns could be corrupted creatures controlled by the core of Hoxxes, since upon defeating a core stone all Corespawns die and the rifts are closed. The core stones are the tendrils of the core in that case, and neutralizing it causes all the corespawns to die in that area.

[median sleet]

Probably not, since you collect upgrades during the run. Someone dropping in would have no upgrades

I assume so, but right now there's no confirmation

yes

Me too

[celest viper]

so like deep dive

once tha game is started, noone can join

[raven wharf]

There will?

You sure about that?

[forest rain]

Is there rogue core gameplay anywhere?

[thin apex]

No, just pictures

[thin apex]

I mean you can expect that to be the case, Risk of Rain has no drop in during the middle of the run outside of modding

[cunning locust]

will there be elves

[undone cargo]

If I say what I want to say about elves I would be banned from this server

[simple cloak]

we got the steam page and Sniss's video on rogue core

idk if the other guys that went to play test it made any videos on it

[celest viper]

[pallid beacon]

There's a mod like this but for ror2 which gives the dropped player some items. I wonder if someone will mod rogue core like that

[median sleet]

I think drilling in the name of mentioned it in their visiting GSG video

[raw ridge]

If there was you'd assume we had it somewhere on this official discord server right?

Maybe even get announcement for it

[median sleet]

Seems like the devs got tasked with 'play a bunch of roguelites'

[tall plume]

yeah 😂

Risk of Rain 2, Roboquest, etc

[median sleet]

Yeah, very funny to see 😂

[tall plume]

if anything, it's reassuring

[median sleet]

Agreed, getting some inspiration in

[raw ridge]

Can't wait to hear MC say overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

[zinc jolt]

Playing games is the first step to making them

Specifically playing enter the gungeon, the roguelike of all time

I am not biased at all i swear

[lime tapir]

how i see the event is the core stone controlling the rifts and enabling the very dangerous core creatures to go out. when the power of the core stone is gone, the crawlers die, because they are not adapted to the higher caves of hoxxes

but who knows? maybe you're right, i think we'll see in RC. (i have high hopes for it)

[raw ridge]

Corespawns are not corrupted nor mutated

[thin sparrow]

i see the crawlers as just a normal species that wanders into the core stone portals when they open

and they die because the portal closes and also they need the energy from the core stones to live

[raw ridge]

who knows how eldritch sloths function

[forest rain]

Thanks for being a smart ass

[raw ridge]

Apologies

[grizzled surge]

anyone else roguing their core

[still crescent]

She rogue on my core till I overclock

[raw ridge]

Im coring my stone

[molten spruce]

Who up stoning they core rn

[zinc jolt]

we should throw rocks at the core and see if it breaks

[lime tapir]

i like how so far this channel is the lore channel

[delicate flax]

Nah

we just rogue and core

There's more brainrot here than the actual rogue core

[celest viper]

ima hold my breath until RC release

[zinc jolt]

Hows it going

[celest viper]

doing fine
slowly sufficating tho, but nothing special

[zinc jolt]

I would highly reccomend breathing air if possible

Anyway random theory time

What if at the end of rogue the planet like, fractures in even more pieces

[celest viper]

nahh Ima keep goin-

[zinc jolt]

Rip

[celest viper]

what

[zinc jolt]

The core explodes and shit

And the planet just breaks into pieces ig

And exposes a bunch of extra fucked up looking biomes for drg

So you like gotta parkour trough outer space

[celest viper]

that's going to be epic

[zinc jolt]

Anyway enough drunk rambling im going to sleep

[celest viper]

im from the past, rogue core was actually beta tested in 400 bk (before karl) and it was

TELL US

[trail forge]

Bro drank a smart stout

[median sleet]

If they're going the 'find lost supply drops to get ammo' route I hope they also allow us to scavenge ammo for weapons we find but don't want. And maybe also being able to find broken down sentry guns with some ammo left in them to get some more ammo. Or maybe you can decide to fix the sentry gun so it'll help you out until it runs out of ammo

[tight plaza]

It truly is.... Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

[spice edge]

she goes deep on my rock galactic till I go rogue to my core

[radiant geyser]

We were right at the drop pod in a mining expedition with low O2 and unknown horror. RIGHT UNDER the driller dies before being able to revive engie

whoops wrong chat

[frigid estuary]

Can someone direct me to an estimate for Rogue Core release?

I need to know

[rigid wind]

I believe the developers said that the closed alpha would release sometime in Q1 of 2025, and then release in early access at least 6 months later, if not more.

But they also said that it's difficult to estimate more than a year in advance, so it's not a confirmation.

[signal egret]

I hope they add something for our time spent in drg

it would be really dope if our statuses as players in deep rock galactic meant something in rouge core

considering the legendary promotion exists

the team in rouge core is supposed to be some kind of elite force of dwarves right

[zinc jolt]

if they re add the barrel kicking minigame i swear to god im buying rogue core at a discount

[median sleet]

You'll be kicking corestones this time

[worn wing]

What's rogue core?

[long breach]

If you havent already, read the pinned messages of this channel and it should give you a gist of it

[worn wing]

Ok thanks

Oh so it's another drg spinoff? Nice

[lime tapir]

will RC be a live service game or like more of a story driven game with en ending (?) ?

or do we just not know

[zinc jolt]

i dont think we know if it will have life service in the way drg has

but my guess is no

i do think it will still have updates

[lime tapir]

drip rock galactic

[zinc jolt]

but just like less

kinda like ror2

then again this is just me guessing

i like drg's universe

[stark bison]

so who are the 4 playable dwarves of rouge core ?

[zinc jolt]

professionals

(we have no idea thus far)

[stark bison]

just curious

[zinc jolt]

me too

but we shall see

when uhhh

idk

at some point

[stark bison]

im curious of how their character personality will be ?

[velvet marsh]

far as we know so far, they're all Reclaimers, there's no classes like there are in DRG

[stark bison]

will they goofy like og drg or bit more profestional but still humourous

[velvet marsh]

I hope they have slightly different personalities like the drg ones too

[stark bison]

since there are no classes and all 4 start the same

i wonder how will the dev implement the charactistc personality

[zinc jolt]

i thought the no classes thing wasnt confirmed yet?

[median sleet]

I think there's no classes, you just get to choose your phase suit at the start

at least that's what I remember

[native monolith]

We know that the reclaimers are like drgs spec ops force, so there’s speculation they might be more serious then the miners. Though spec ops could also mean more drunk and more insane we don’t know

[uneven rivet]

I wonder if there's even bigger anomalous apes down in the deep. The ones that come through the rifts are scary enough... it's no wonder the Reclaimers always get the fancy guns.

[zinc jolt]

the crawlers that come from the rift are directly stolen from rogue core

[uneven rivet]

ik

I was just wondereing if there's even bigger ones

[signal egret]

hyper professional

these guys are the elites

[zinc jolt]

looked a bit at the few rogue core screenshots we have from the steam page

there will be red sugar in rogue core

[celest viper]

it should be more addictive tho

[long breach]

The deeper you go, the more potent red sugar gets?

[celest viper]

so addictive, it's banned in spacerig

but someone decided to smuggle some of it and sold it

the person is called Hisenborg

the special thing about his red sugar is it's blue

[zinc jolt]

maybe the aquards are just blue red sugar

aquarqs

[celest viper]

hisenborg is selling fakes all along

I just ordered the entire stock

[hard vale]

nice ip grabber

[little sail]

not gonna lie, we need more info, i can't wait to know what we're getting for our bosses and our cosmetics, not to mention the weapons system (we know the basics of it but we don't know how everything else about it will work), i can't wait for more info!

[long breach]

We’ll probably get more teasers soonish now that season 5 is out 👀

They still gotta stabilize the season with bug fixes and whatnot but they might have some devs start on rogue core again already

[wary tiger]

[zinc jolt]

its gone

somebody must have stolen it

[sour gazelle]

Is anyone up to trying to get the "Carpool" achievement?

Sorry wrong chat

[chilly pelican]

I'm guessing they'll take a bit of a break before fully diving into rogue core full force

[celest viper]

customizeable personal lobby would be nice

[barren mountain]

When does early access signup begin?

[celest viper]

3024 32th december ||(we don't know yet)||

[barren mountain]

I’ll be long gone before it drops lol

[celest viper]

maybe your grand grand grand grand grand child might

[frigid path]

Info just in! The core… it’s going rogue!

An astute observation my friend

[tranquil otter]

wait question. do we actually know wut rogue core gameplay will be like yet? or do we only know of its existance?

[zinc jolt]

Drg if it was roguelike

Check pins tbh

[tranquil otter]

ooh okay

[zinc jolt]

Pins have much more info

[mental flint]

Will DRG: Rogue core have the gun that can kill the past?

“I should have left my nose on the bloody spacerig”

[zinc jolt]

the rogue that can kill the core

[mental flint]

Imagine killing the past where you left a dwarf behind

not sure why you chose rogue-core chat for either of these

[grizzled surge]

im so brainwashed by rouge core i cant get over the idea that the core's probably gonna be purple and not red

[hidden lotus]

What is rouge core

[median sleet]

check out the pinned messages

[hidden lotus]

So is it DRG 2?

[median sleet]

No, it's a spinoff

[cunning locust]

its rogue core

[thin sparrow]

its drg 1.5

[ornate kraken]

Secret name changed from red core to purple core

[zinc jolt]

its drg if it was good

[scarlet scroll]

btw what kind of game or genre will rogue core be anyways?

will it still be multiplayer and positive as a community?

[icy nebula]

roguelike

[icy nebula]

yes

[cobalt ridge]

a coop roguelite

no guarantees on the positive part of the community

[scarlet scroll]

Wait a multiplayer roguelike? POG

[ivory spire]

No guarantees it’ll be as good as DRG either

But hey, I don’t think there’s any development hell or anything

[glacial solstice]

Rogue-core doesn't exist yet, outside of development, maybe.
What do we know about it, other than it will be a roguelike/lite in the DRG universe (if it releases)?

[chilly pelican]

We know nothing pretty much

Back when the steam page was made for the game a few creators analyzed the images n stuff but we haven't gotten all that much

We saw some upgrades, a few environments, speculated on some stuff, then we got a sort of behind the scenes on what looks to be the initial idea for what later got into drg as the corespawn crawler

Oh and a few creators got invited to GSG hq to try out rogue core and that gave us like... a few more details iirc?

[median sleet]

I think the development of RC has been a lot more secretive than the devs initially intended.

Probably due to the delay, let's hope we get some more details now that s5 is out.

[thin sparrow]

will it be on consoles though??

[tall plume]

not during early access

but at 1.0 launch, yes

[thin sparrow]

okay awesome

maybe it will have crossplay this time

but i dont know

probably not

[tall plume]

unlikely

[glacial solstice]

I'm confused as to why this chat even exists if we know next to nothing about it. What is there to discuss?

[thin sparrow]

rogue core chat

[velvet marsh]

If Rogue Core's soundtrack ends up sounding closer in style to S5's Core Stone season event music, I would like a cookie and the rights to say "called it"

[thin sparrow]

ok

[chilly pelican]

Gotta rogue our cores

[thin sparrow]

my core going rogue 😳

[median sleet]

The closed alpha was supposed to be out by now. So I assume there would've been a lot more to talk about

[glacial solstice]

Oh. I see.

[plucky blade]

I read season 5 is kinda leading into the RC story, does that mean 5 is going to be the last major season of DRG?

[velvet marsh]

the last one before RC, then I believe the plan is to support both games

[tall plume]

no, it won't be the last season for DRG

[plucky blade]

Cool, thanks

So...it almost seems like RC is a lot like combining the ideas of both DRG and DRG survivor into a multiplayer first person

[tall plume]

DRG Survivor isn't a multiplayer based roguelite though

and also not a FPS

[plucky blade]

right

[tall plume]

RC is more like smashing Roboquest/gunfire reborn/risk of rain 2 and DRG together

[thin sparrow]

will it have rival tech

🤔

[zinc jolt]

unknown

i dont think it will

[thin sparrow]

[chilly pelican]

Cab rival tech withstand the core goin rogue?

[thin sparrow]

idk

[median sleet]

Maybe you'll find some destroyed rival tech. Maybe you can hack it to reactivate it

[rose temple]

I don't think Rival has the capabilities to reach that far

[chilly pelican]

DRG Rogue Core S1: Rivaler tech

[lofty cloak]

drg survivor also has different devs

[delicate flax]

It mainly is for giving GSG ideas. also a plus is for the funny brainrot

[harsh lynx]

#rogue-core-suggestions is ideas tho

[delicate flax]

Well it also provides a means for the devs to interact with the rogue core community

[thin sparrow]

is that a thing now

[chilly pelican]

Rogue Core elitists that no longer play regular DRG lmfao

[marsh minnow]

Didn't they say the beta launches in like october

Wait no, closed Alpha next February? I'm dumb-

[rose temple]

Q1

But possibly Fbruary w/ that in mind

Shame too I was hyped to play RC but guess we'll have to wait

[fresh canyon]

Uhhh it is fps though right?

[raven wharf]

Strong maybe

Personally I’m hoping for an RTS.

[wanton hedge]

From the pics posted on the steam page it will be an fps, seems like itll be cool

An RTS version of drg would be super cool too though

[grizzled surge]

honestly i wouldnt really care about the drg aspect, it'd be an rts with destructible terrain :o

rare game

[wanton hedge]

PvE or PvP, that is the question

Then again, why not both?

A PvP mode in DRG could be cool too

[olive narwhal]

Pve

[chilly pelican]

PvP just doesn't mix with DRG

PvP inherently causes a lot of salt and toxicity no matter the game since, by nature, at any given moment half the playerbase is experiencing a defeat

[wanton hedge]

Yeah, i dont think it would work as well for DRG but there could be some cool strategy
Gunner and scout would probably dominate though

PvP on an RTS style DRG tho.... i think that could be fun

[chilly pelican]

How would an rts drg even work?

[wanton hedge]

Well you could set up your team, with whichever mix of classes you want
Keep it teams of 4 to be simple
You could either have it start out with pickaxes only and mine resources to purchase/unlock weapons and grenades, or have the loadouts be predetermined and purchase upgrades to stats or temporary buffs instead

The rest would be mostly similar to drg, intermittent waves and some general objectives such as mining, combat, or liquid morkite refinement

[unkempt lance]

drg command and conquer

[raw ridge]

Dwarfer's Gate 3

Dark Dwarfs

[olive hound]

[chilly pelican]

Horror game like isolation but we play as an RnD dwarf stuck in a non-armed space station with glyphids aboard

[nimble arrow]

i think if DRG had PVP in any capacity id want it to be like versus in left 4 dead 2

[thin sparrow]

epic

[thin sparrow]

but the special infected in l4d are actually strong

it wouldnt work for drg

playing as glyphids would be so weak

[grizzled surge]

player controlled stalker

[rapid helm]

It would work if you could split your Consciousness into like 20 of them.

Imagine the tactics and cut off you could coordinate with the stronger bugs

[thin sparrow]

ok but how

[celest viper]

It would be cool if other core creature has a small chance of spawning in drg mission

Like dread

[simple cloak]

I imagine you'd be playing a way different game, selecting and controlling groups of glyphids

[celest viper]

I mean it's in hoxxes 4 as well so why not

Just really deeper

[simple cloak]

Maybe as you're playing as a glyphid you'd press a button to go into spectator view to coordinate your bugs

not that spectator view meshes with the game in any way

[celest viper]

/gamemode spectator

/kill @e[deeprockgalactic:glyphid_grunt]

[simple cloak]

ooo maybe you do go into spectator view but you're masked as bug pheromones

cause like idk makes it look like the bugs are communicating

[celest viper]

Idk what you're on

If that's true, Ima send an army of dreads in your location

As well as an army of bulks

[simple cloak]

I'm imagining that you on team glyphids would go hide somewhere and enter your communicating mode to command npc glyphids

[simple cloak]

I'm relating to this convo btw

[celest viper]

My reaction

[simple cloak]

gasp embed fail

[rapid helm]

@simple cloak

I'm dumb

you could just use rts style gameplay lol

might be tricky in 3D but we do in fact have the existing technology to control multiple units inside of a video game from one person

🤦‍♂️

[raw ridge]

How is it tricky in 3D, we had 3D rts games for years now lol

[rapid helm]

DRG has ceilings

so in a way it's 4 dimensions

5 if you count walls

then time is 6

[grizzled surge]

one way textures are a thing

[raw ridge]

which are usually invisible in those types of games

[hidden hornet]

Well of course it has ceilings

How else would a cave be a cave?

[lime tapir]

is drgs a different game?

[tall plume]

yes

usually, games having different names is a good indicator of them being different games 😛

[zealous coral]

will we be able to rock and stone/rogue and core in RC?

[chilly pelican]

If the dwarves in Rogue Core are much more serious than the ones in DRG then maybe we'll get a version of R&S but one that is much tamer or slightly more serious

Maybe more akin to the one when you're holding the beer, "To the fallen."

[delicate flax]

I really want to see a dwarf say "The core.. has gone rogue!" in rogue core

[delicate flax]

Maybe they'll say "rogue and core"

[chilly pelican]

That'd be funny

i cried when driller said "it's time to work... at deep rock galactic" and then was deployed and mined morkite.... truly one of the moments of time

is it confirmed that dwarves will be more serious... and is it confirmed if mission controll will be more goofy?

[celest viper]

It was a joke

[native monolith]

That would be the ultimate twist

“Look out team! Swarm!”

“Just kidding, there’s nothing near you.”

”This Mission Control… can we get the one in the mining department?”

[lyric dragon]

anyone have the link to drg:s discord?

Im getting my shit rocked on a certain class

[delicate flax]

look at pons

#drg-chat pins

[grand isle]

You want it to sound more exquisite and refined?

Granite and marble!

[thin sparrow]

why does rogue core chat exist but drg survivor chat doesnt

[long breach]

cuz it's made by another studio and they have another server for DRGS

[thin sparrow]

ok

[long breach]

if you want to join that server, an invite link is pinned in #drg-chat so check pinned messages there

[crystal sleet]

i am going to cry if the rogue core ost isn't styled like the corestone soundtrack

[stark bison]

What is the plan price for rouge core

[chilly pelican]

I'm assuming the same as DRG

[grizzled surge]

damn, drg got a stone type god roll on this rimworld

[hollow palm]

Will probably be cheaper. Remember that it will be in early access

will likely receive a price hike afterwards

[wary tiger]

I dont think you can buy red cores

[pine zodiac]

rok

[lime tapir]

i wonder if it's gonna be a bigger or smaller game

also, i wonder, since it's gonna revolve around this story that core mining operations have gone silent, will we ever "finish" that mission? if so, what's next? with drg we just... work at drg, so there is no need to alter it. but with this... maybe something else.

[earnest fulcrum]

If we do finish it then they’ll be more seasons (in drg) that continue different “stories” like the rock pox and rivals. It’s not just gonna end because we finished some deep mining stuff

[lime tapir]

ye but i suppose the core gameplay wouldn't change, but like... the point of it would change right? like, instea of salvaging operations we'd create new ones or smth

[unkempt bough]

based on the images on the steam page I think it's gonna be a mix of DRG and survivor

[chilly pelican]

new live service model where if the playerbase fucks up and doesn't complete the mission DRG just ceases development

any time you log into either game it's just a screen that says "you didn't stop the core"

[earnest fulcrum]

Whenever the devs wanna stop working on the game they just make an impossible mission 💀

[zinc jolt]

They have been working it for a long time, shortly after season 3 i think?

[covert ruin]

Final job

[solar hazel]

is rogue core just different environments compared to drg or is the game completely different? What new mechanics are they planning to introduce?

[past terrace]

Completely different game

Its a roguelike

[simple cloak]

I'd be incredibly disappointed if Rogue Core turned out to be "just different environments"...

[past terrace]

It's literally meant to be an entirely different game

[chilly pelican]

Rogue core will actually be the same game but every word will be replaced with "rogue"

[main grail]

Rogue dwarves on rogue Hoxxes working for rogue company Deep Rogue Rogue Core Rogue Galactic to do rogue mining expeditions
Anyway there is a rogue class

[chilly pelican]

Yes

Rogue and Rogue!

[covert ruin]

(with only a pickaxe a billion meters down in the surface

[zealous citrus]

I love working for deep rogue galactic

[main grail]

Roguening

[lime tapir]

for rogue and core!

[royal sparrow]

This is probably a stupid question but what IS Rogue Core?

[long breach]

read the pinned messages in this channel for basic info

[royal sparrow]

Oh shoot your right thanks. I didn't know that was a feature 🙂

Im kinda excited now hold up

[chilly pelican]

DRG + RoR 2

[lofty glen]

risk of rock 2

[royal sparrow]

Nice

[high sedge]

Bro I need roguge core now!!!

[grizzled surge]

im rouged outta my mined rn

[tiny notch]

who up rogueing they core

[chilly pelican]

Stone of Rain 2

[hidden hornet]

That sounds

Absolutely awful

How painful it would be to be in a stone storm

[main grail]

Meteors be like

[hollow palm]

Hail

[celest viper]

[zinc jolt]

i hope they cut down on holding E in rogue core

[main grail]

No
More E
I want cookie clicker gameplay

[dusky badger]

me waiting for a single gameplay snippet of rogue core

seriously, it's been nearly a full year. maybe it's time to actually share anything about the game lmao

[long breach]

soon TM
Since the original plan was rogue core first, but then it took too long, so they went back to getting season 5 out first. So now that season 5 is out, they're going back to rogue core full force until early access comes out iirc

[median sleet]

Yep pretty much. I assume they announced Rogue Core pretty early thinking they'd have a bunch of stuff to show soonish after. But it took longer than expected so now we just have a big gap of barely no news except for some minor below decks updates

Also I just realized half of what I wrote is just what you wrote but reworded

[hollow palm]

We will be given an early access copy of the game once that happens so like

I’m not too worried about it

[wary flame]

if we drill far enough with the drilldozer, will we reach the rogue core?

[main grail]

No
It went rogue and escaped

[devout scarab]

this is spot on

[long breach]

hi dennis 😄

[devout scarab]

hey 🙂

[real verge]

Are we still going to get new seasons and such after RC comes out?

[tall plume]

yes

[real verge]

Cool thought so just checking

[dusky badger]

i really do wonder how they're gonna handle early access for this game though

they release rogue core, completely halt development after some hotfixes for 6 months, release season 6 and go back?

so on so forth?

[torn drum]

this has probably been talked about to death but do we know if there are plans to get a new musician on for Rogue Core?

ever since Sophus parted for better pastures it's felt like a real detriment on the series that no new music has been made

unless I've remained that OOTL- Survive recycled the entire OST from base DRG

cannot recall a new track?

my worry would just be that Rogue Core comes out and its the same OST again

Sophus did an amazing job, that goes without saying, but it does eventually make everything feel homogenized when games share the same OST

[torn drum]

I am happy we got a new track for S5 so that makes me hopeful that there are plans for RC

[chilly pelican]

Who knows

Having 2 games means literally a doubled workload I just hope GSG devs stay healthy

[dusky badger]

yeah but realistically this either means drg seasons are over altogether or rogue core updates will be really inconsistent and it'll take like 10 years to reach 1.0

[forest rain]

They did say they were going to primarily focus on rogue core now that season 5 is out and did say season 6 is still gonna be a decent ways after rogue core comes out

[forest rain]

I'm fine waiting and prefer if they take their time tbh

[dusky badger]

i mean i'd definitely rather if they focused on rogue core

a 6 month update gap on an early access game is kinda rough lmfao

but season 6 is planned for like, 2026 and i doubt rogue core will fully release by then so im assuming thats what they're planning which will be pretty funny

unless they ditch their "wholeass one thing" philosophy and start crunching

[celest viper]

jeez the update time is just getting longer exponentially

2 months 6 months 1 year 2 year

literally

[dusky badger]

season 7 is confirmed for the 22nd century in the roadmap

[celest viper]

it delayed a bit
3024 32th december

[dusky badger]

oh my bad

[chilly pelican]

crazy

but understandable

[past terrace]

Adding a new gun tho

[chilly pelican]

Rogue Core 2 coming out in the 36th century

"Now even Roguier"

[magic hemlock]

A question I wonder is if the season will "evolve" as Rogue Core releases or draws closer

More events or enemies related to it?

The Crawlers can't be the only thing coming in Rogue Core

So seeing more of Rogue Core enemies in DRG (the greyout happening?)

Be one hell of a teaser

[delicate flax]

The rogue core has reached maxmium rogueness

[main grail]

We rogued too hard

[hollow palm]

Nah

[hollow palm]

Correct

[tiny notch]

rogued too deep

got cored

[main grail]

When the stone rocks you back

[dusky badger]

Good argument

[hollow palm]

Updates have been slow to develop rogue core. Drg will not go into neglect, in which case that’s not a bad thing because it’s got plenty of content,
And in either case - RC development won’t take a decade

[celest viper]

Which is a hand gun
Makes pew pew sound when shot and deals 1 dmg

1 dmg per minute

[hollow palm]

I suspect that after a rogue core beta, both games will receive more consistent minor care, and spaced out larger updates

[dusky badger]

They have already established that they arent willing to work on more than one thing at a time. Which means that as long as they work on a drg season there will be pretty much nothing for rogue core, unless they change their minds

[hollow palm]

As opposed to alternating droughts over the course of a decade, which just won’t happen because maintenance updates are their own big deals

[hollow palm]

The frameworks for both games are relatively interesting. Again, even if DRG were to stop getting updates forever, DRG would not be in a dilapidated state

DRG itself is an early access game, and took a while to get where it is now.

Rogue core has that framework and a 10x larger more experienced and growing dev team

[dusky badger]

The dev team is literally the same people.

[zinc jolt]

i think there is a very high chance season 6 will just be more rogue core in drg, especially since its probably coming after the rogue core early access comes out

[hollow palm]

No real need to be doomer about it, the worst case scenario is they slowly make a new game to stand with their currently existing excellent game

[dusky badger]

I'm NOT worried about drg not getting more updates, i'm worried that their new early access game will suffer from it with 6 month gaps between major updates and it'll absolutely suck for the players

[hollow palm]

I’m personally not too excited with the idea of a new set of weapons and OCs, or a new season event

ie they build a new game slowly

RC already looks miles beyond DRG’s early access state. Im fairly confident that RC will be a very satisfying game on release

“No gameplay” DRG looked like it was made of play doh in early access

[dusky badger]

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, if they do the alternating drought method as they have done already it'll be really miserable lmao

[hollow palm]

it’ll be two good games growing or one good game next to a growing good game

[dusky badger]

Hi guys, going away for 8 months to make a mid season for deep rock. We MIGHT make 2 bugfix patches in the meantime, bye!

Could you imagine that

[hollow palm]

your hypothetical future misery remains self inflicted

[dusky badger]

Wdym

[hollow palm]

Also S5 was their best season yet

[dusky badger]

Thats arguable

[hollow palm]

I can’t wait for S6, or RC’s new gameplay loop, or the content expansion RC will get, or the content sharing between RC and DRG

“It might take a while tho”
Cmon man

[zinc jolt]

i think gsg knows what they are doing

[dusky badger]

I mean, i hope?

[zinc jolt]

they make good video game i trust that they can do it again

[hollow palm]

They could LITERALLY drop drg development almost entirely, and rogue core’s early access experience would still be something that exists

For as long as GSG is up and running, they will be creating something to interact with, on top of their existing systems

I can’t imagine a realistic lose lose scenario

Alternatively RC development sucks and they go back to DRG, recycle some content, whatever

[zinc jolt]

also they are spending a pretty long time on rogue core i think they have been working on it for like 1 and a half years already?

• they already have the base foundations from drg

[hollow palm]

So long as silksong comes out

[zinc jolt]

which will come out first

silksong or rogue core early access
