rogue-core-chat

[old raven]

Honestly my biggest gripe is with necrosis and it’s very low chance to proc

[sour whale]

I mostly build around consistent upgrades. And if I try to play with them as I said I try to ignore the rng nature as much as possible, but it still every now and then makes me tired/angry.

[sour whale]

Agreed.

[old raven]

When it works, the combo with axes is great but most of the time I am using a nerfed cwc

[sour whale]

Yup. Imo it should work like temperature. Fill a bar to make a weakpoint.

[tiny beacon]

homebrew powder

[old raven]

Or just add a guaranteed wart on overheat

[idle bison]

Roboquest has a good solution for random weapon chances, every time it fails to proc it increases its chance to proc next time until it eventually does proc

[old raven]

I wonder if they’ll do smth about it in rogue

[sour whale]

Still meh. I've these types of solutions and let me be clear. I've never, in any game in existance saw a random crit/status system that I liked.

[old raven]

Wait I dunno if they gonna add all of the ocs from drg to here

[sour whale]

No idea. Maybe some, but wouldn't be surprised if they just spend time on completely new stuff.

[old raven]

I pray for heavy customization

[sour whale]

Theye're adamant about making this a different game.

[old raven]

Talking like you can do double cwc if you want to

Maybe a little overkill ngl

[sour whale]

I hope for some customization for class abilities before run.

[old raven]

I can see it with the new enemies

Edge walker they nailed the creepiness

[sour whale]

I love the rafkan enemies.

[old raven]

Feels like that moment where your peripheral vision makes you spooked

Into a being

[old raven]

The hammer head looks like an alien version of dunkleosaurus

[sour whale]

Especially since they are more agressive when flanking.

[old raven]

I gotta wait for alpha to see what they gon do

[sour whale]

I'm gonna wait longer. I'm not much into closed alphas.

[idle bison]

we must be total opposites then, from a game design standpoint I dislike certain solutions for randomness because they turn everything into a spreadsheet. if they made the stubby electrocute every 3 shots, you'd no longer spray fire the weapon, you'd just fire in 3 round bursts

[sour whale]

I would prefer that so much.

[idle bison]

I had a game dev friend who wanted to make a pve game with csgo bullet spread, had to tell em it was a bad idea because it would effectively make every gun have infinite range

I absolutely hate spreadsheets and breakpoints in games like this

[sour whale]

And I absolutely hate rng in regards to my equipment and skills.

I don't mind rng in the form of events during a run, enemy behavior or terrain generation tho.

[tiny beacon]

oh so reusing the mactera detection

nice

that's actually really cool I like that

[south wigeon]

I hope we get Duel Flamethrowers, after all good things come to those who wait.

[tiny beacon]

they do make it a lot less fun yeah

I do hope RC has some difficulty variance, so you can go from easy beginner stuff to the casual play most of DRG's players do to the super tryhard level and some in between

[idle bison]

surely they will

[left tinsel]

omg pity mechanics for crits lol

[atomic jacinth]

oh ya that's pity mechanic lmfao

[pure vessel]

It's a good way to do it.

[acoustic obsidian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXnK8YrWdA0 thanks to Mark !

[stiff prism]

I want to play it so much...

Must wait.

[magic blade]

I love how we are getting more and more of an idea that Hoxxes is just

alive

very much alive

and it sure dont want us here

[acoustic obsidian]

Have you played the Metroid Prime games ? Sometimes a living planet needs a kick in the ... tectonic plates !

But everything that is alive can be killed with enough c4

[shell elk]

Rock And Stone to that

[calm yoke]

What are the hype levels at the studio after the pre alpha trailer deployment?

[burnt flume]

And a sandwich bar

[calm yoke]

Also, I need to know the context for your new avatar Anders.

[native monolith]

Fire trailer

[native monolith]

One day, the morkite is gonna start mining us

[lilac crest]

Notice how we did not see any monsters or creatures in the trailer. That means they're saving the best I cannot wait. I bet they're gonna be really creep Like dead space

[vague orchid]

rooooggg cooreee tomorrow

ii cAnnt waait anylongereer

[burnt flume]

I wonder if the core will go rogue

[south kiln]

The core is just The Warp from 40k bleeding into the world of DRG

[idle bison]

sure hope not

[dawn prawn]

this being the first comment Ive read here fills me with hope

everything really just sits within the 40k universe(s)

here for the xXRoguEXCoReXx hypetrain

[cyan ledge]

did anyone notice how at the end of the new trailer the music sounds like warwicks theme if anyone knows it

[warm badge]

How to get in Pre-alpha testing

[acoustic obsidian]

It's not playable yet

[radiant hare]

They showcased a lot of stuff in the stream
I'm so excited

Kinda sad it'll take another year for alpha playtest

[rapid pine]

rogue core is sick as hell. Hope it releases on console

I'd buy it 5 times if it releases on PlayStation (I'll do it anyway)

I just really want a physical edition of rogue core and survivor for the collection

[short yacht]

Holy Peak Rogue core teaser is so fire

[neon obsidian]

What’s up with all these deep rock sequels and stuff… I’m all for it honestly

[blissful cape]

Deep rock is going global

As soon as testing comes out in any fashion, sign me the hell up

[lone kestrel]

I wonder how people for closed pre-alpha will be chosen

[blissful cape]

You have to drink 4 leaf lover special

[lone kestrel]

[blissful cape]

Or? Orrr you have to drink a wormhole deluxe and have a very small chance to be chosen to be sent straight to the core

[nimble talon]

or dig right to the core for a lot of time on mission

[blissful cape]

God I love roguelike games I can’t wait

[lone kestrel]

This is the plan. Just drink wormhole until you're at the corr

[nimble talon]

main reason why I'll buy rogue core is the fact there'll be those cool weapons animations when they're loaded

[neat acorn]

will mission control be present in rogue core?

or are we getting a mission control 2

[fathom wren]

Just saw the teaser, and oh my God I'm excited

[nimble talon]

I guess there won't be any mission control since core could make signals worse. just how I see it

[idle bison]

the way I see it, this game probably isn't gonna have a mission control at all considering there probably won't be many objectives past "go forward and mine the green stuff"

[olive narwhal]

I mean the devs did confirm the existence of mc at current

Its also apparently the same one atleast currently

[neat acorn]

pog

[idle bison]

I would hope for that to change

[olive narwhal]

Well alot has changed since its first reveal so i suspect it possibly will

[wintry cliff]

sure hope everyone gets a fair chance at the closed alpha. I definitely hope to get in whenever they will start sign ups 😛
Feel like I could provide some good input, having over 1k hours and having been in the closed beta for drg

[olive narwhal]

Marble race for code

[wintry cliff]

I never won one of those D:

[verbal wolf]

Whoever beats the most TS max length Escorts gets the code.

[wintry cliff]

at least they didnt outsource this one cuz the survivor games wasnt all that great (still put like 50 hours into it...)

[olive narwhal]

Must have been decent enough to put 50 hours into it

[wintry cliff]

I mean I put 80 hours into vampire survivors

and that game is... not good

was just the first of its kind

[olive narwhal]

Vampire survivor doesn't have an esports scene drg survivor

[wintry cliff]

they used to have leaderboards ages ago for most kills in a run, but it lost any meaning when they introduced golden eggs and you could get 60 million kills in a game

where it just came down to your pc's processing power

[olive narwhal]

But yeah rogue core is their own game

Its pretty rare that people know that survivor was made by not gsg tbh

[wintry cliff]

the footage looks promising. if they keep the "gameplay" (mainly movement, gun feel) its gonna be great

[olive narwhal]

Well its built on the foundation of drg so its gonna have its similarities

[wintry cliff]

h5a is unfun, imo and even modded lost its alure for me but I still want to play drg, so this breath of fresh air will be amazing

though gotta hope the alpha doesnt start for another couple months, I cant stop playing factorio rn xD

[olive narwhal]

Well the closed alpha do be q2 next year if it goes to plan

[verbal wolf]

I can't wait for the survival game spin-off called ROCK: Survival Evolved.

[sturdy vale]

GSG havent even finished cooking and it looks good

[nimble talon]

Wish there'll be at least one more revolver in rogue core...

[glossy heath]

is there any information about transferring new weapons from Rogue Core to drg? for example a new pistol

[idle bison]

most we know is probably not

new weapons are rare for DRG since they're such huge additions to the game

[dry trellis]

Did any of the devs have said anything about cosmetics and if they will carry from "base" DRG to Rogue Core? I am expecting that since they are the same but not the same

[humble kindle]

[wintry cliff]

Stone: Stage 2

yo it could actually be cool if you had cosmetics that you unlock in one game that then can be used in the other

[hollow bear]

Doubtful that they'll carry over. They sounded pretty set on not having any overlap, but it's too early to tell for now.

They did mention the Reclaimers having unique armor per class, so maybe they'll bring some back

I expect all new stuff, though.

[wintry cliff]

I need content to work towards so I appreciate any new stuff

[weak sage]

The only Overlap i want to see is being able to see the Ship that's going to serve as a base for that game in orbit from the space rig. And see the space rig from the ship

[hollow bear]

No doubt. Would be awesome to look out the Ramrod windows and see our boys in rig17

[vapid ermine]

is this an entirely new game or an update to drg?

[hollow bear]

New game

[vapid ermine]

oooohhhhh

looks like I'm going to be waiting for a while

[native monolith]

Year till early access

Though there’s a pre alpha sometimes before that so keep your eye out

[median sleet]

Imagine seeing a DRG dwarf get teleported in front of the Ramrod windows, and shortly after getting teleported back

[vague snow]

Sup guys

Does the EA was annouced?

Or speculations

[heavy coral]

a pre-alpha teaser went out today

[hollow bear]

There's a roadmap in pinned messages

[heavy coral]

no announcement for an EA date yet though

[vague snow]

Sad

Thanks

[glossy heath]

in the video there are interesting improvements for the flare gun, it would be interesting to play with it as a main weapon

[loud ether]

So is rouge core like drg but valheim (survival crafting)?

[radiant hare]

https://imgur.com/Gbb7Wip damn

gonna be patient

still excited

[mossy ruin]

there's no crafting, and there's no survival

#rogue-core-chat message

[loud ether]

So it's just drg2?

[mossy ruin]

but with a roguelite spin on the formula of mining and shooting hordes

[loud ether]

I saw the video, thats why i asked :p

Ah rougelike drg, yeah i dig that

[tiny beacon]

nope

[verbal wolf]

Will Rogue Core feature feature the color cyan?

[twilit token]

Yes, because it isn't Rouge Core

[verbal wolf]

I saw purple in the trailer, so it's obviously Purpure Core.

[magic blade]

Will Rouge Core feature my dad?

[pine skiff]

No, Rouge Core is cancelled

[magic blade]

Well damn

[urban sequoia]

Question, not sure if the devs already mentioned it, but did they explain as to why they didn't just include Rogue Core as a game mode for DRG? I mean from what I see in the trailer, it has the same foundation as DRG so why couldn't they just implement it there? Not criticizing, just curious as to what the decision making process was/is for making it it's own separate release instead of keeping it within the ecosystem of DRG.

[marsh grove]

i believe deep core has the potencial to be another game and people who don't like deep rock(crazy fellas) problably will like rogue core

[covert ruin]

Because it might be bad to have a really massive game added to a (possibly) fragile codebase

Also it’s just that different honestly

[urban sequoia]

But the gameplay loop is the same no? From what I understand it's a more in-depth (heh) deep dive. With roguelite elements.

[covert ruin]

I feel it might be more story driven

[urban sequoia]

I can see the codebase being an issue.

[marsh grove]

no, problably you can't choose missions like deep rock

[covert ruin]

The physics of DRG IS not gonna like it. 😼

[drowsy steppe]

Is there some separate Rogue Core disc or just this

[urban sequoia]

But how different are the physics from Rogue Core and DRG? I didn't see anything particularly thats physically intense that DRG doesn't already do.

[covert ruin]

Also the tone of it sounds hella different too (horror aspect)

[urban sequoia]

I can see that

[covert ruin]

Barrel

I see it’s a funny thing, but uhhh yeah

[urban sequoia]

lol fair

[covert ruin]

But I don’t know, the devs only know that

[marsh grove]

hear me out , rogue core launches > it's a good game> 2 or 1 year later lore and big events happen interfering on deep rock

https://tenor.com/view/black-beard-peak-writing-black-beard-marshal-d-teach-peak-writing-barba-negra-gif-5446515270440960312

[urban sequoia]

Peak Cinema

[hollow bear]

Just this for now

[tiny beacon]

they mentioned that it wasn't compatable with DRG's code. My guess is this refers to the in-mission weapon stat changes, which is also the reason for the ever-popular firing range requests being forever unanswered - DRG can't do that in a stable manner, so for RC where it's a core part they had to remake that whole part

[native monolith]

Too different. They want to keep drgs identity while still making a big new thing

[native monolith]

Also this

And, I think it’s good for them to make a new game because they’re being given a clean slate to make new stuff (classes, weapons, enemies)

Making a new weapon in drg is basically not possible lmao

[urban sequoia]

Gotcha. That makes a lot of sense.

[urban sequoia]

All completely valid reasons. I wonder what in the code makes it so hard to work with in terms of adding new content. Wouldn't be the first game/series that has this problem.

[native monolith]

Tbh, atleast for me (I’m just bad at coding though) limitations just pile up. Small things here and there that you don’t really think will come up again result in some ideas no longer being possible without rewriting a lot of stuff

For example, the shooting range

And drg has been in development for a longggg time

[urban sequoia]

That's true

It's interesting to think about how much tech debt can effect future plans for a game/series.

[exotic oyster]

Watching the trailer today, please sign me up to play this in alpha.

[native monolith]

Gotta pay the devs 3 bismor

[exotic oyster]

They can have all 9k of my Bismor

[prisma summit]

It would be cool to see omoran hearthstones play a large part in this game

[exotic oyster]

It would be neat to see it incorporated into technology.

[prisma summit]

Considering they are literally sentient rocks trying to protect themselves from a gaggle-fuck of dwarves

I wonder if hoxxes core is a heartstone

The big glowing orb at the end of the teaser kinda looks like a heartstone

[coarse topaz]

heck yeah rogue core

[native monolith]

Do we know if hoxxes has a core like our planet?

Magma core implies it does

[coarse topaz]

it would suck if we just burned to death

[native monolith]

But I don’t really the dwarves would be able to be in the core

If it was burning hot

Unless “the core” more so just means closer to the core or as far down as the dwarves can feasibly go

[twilit token]

magma core:

[native monolith]

I mean yeah but that’s slightly different

Magma is hot but not 9,800 degrees Fahrenheit hot

Hoxxes is so extremely messed up I wouldn’t really be surprised if the core isn’t one in the traditional sense

[exotic oyster]

Magma core is the deepest biome we know, which will be interesting to see how that depth changes.

[native monolith]

I hope when landing in the core the depth meter just says “ERROR: DEPTH CANNOT BE FOUND”

[coarse topaz]

would it then be a magma core deep dive stage 3 that has the lowest known elevation?

[tiny beacon]

it's seemingly just a part of the environment, we saw it a couple times in the gameplay demo and it didn't do anything

[native monolith]

I hope we get more stone like the error pillars

And gravity anomalies

[tiny beacon]

most DRG missions I think vary from like -200m to about -3km, the RC gameplay was at -9km

not all that much for depth

[tiny beacon]

wouldn't even be an anomaly, gravity gets weaker the further underground you go in real life

[native monolith]

I just mean things similar to those

Weird environmental things that affect gameplay

[native monolith]

Ok that… that is interesting actually

Because our crust is what, 63 kilometers thick?

I’d image that’s just a placeholder hopefully lol

Hoxxes is definitely bigger than an asteroid

[tiny beacon]

I've never believed the altimeter anyways

[native monolith]

Yeah

[tiny beacon]

much like the region map, it's just fake to make you feel better

[native monolith]

A 3d region map would be really cool actually

Different depths and sizes

Also, I really hope we get to run into weapons manufacturing facilities

Because the barrier implies that most tech was build inside the core

[tiny beacon]

I think the barrier was a recent thing

[native monolith]

Was it?

I thought it was the grey out that was a recent development

And the reason all the machinery is there is because it’s hard to get things past the barrier

[tiny beacon]

is the barrier not part of the greyout?

I would think it's a part of the planet's response

[native monolith]

Maybe

It is really chilling how more and more evidence is piling up about the planet being alive

Actually maybe that’s the reason the core is kinda.. not really corelike

Maybe it’s just like a big heart

[tiny beacon]

I don't think it was ever a lack of evidence, people were just not confronted with it enough to think of it

[native monolith]

It’s definitely something that exists but it’s never expanded upon to the point of not being common knowledge, I’d say

Kinda like the brood nexus lore

That one is more of just a fun fact though

[late sierra]

do you guys think that the enemies in Rogue Core (besides the Corespawn Crawler) will eventually appear in the main game?

[worldly sundial]

I'm not sure if the bugs are gonna be here.

But we're definitely gonna see more corespawn and oh god they look nasty.

[late sierra]

like, I'm planning on getting Rogue Core when it comes out, but I'm hoping we can eventually encounter these things in the original game for a bit of randomness.

[tiny beacon]

I hope we get rafkan here and there in DRG events. I'm curious if there will be any sort of miniaturization of the rifts allowing for teleporting enemies in either game

[late sierra]

I know the bugs are probably not going to be there, I was asking if the new Corespawn and the Rafkin might come to the original game. Like maybe they could rarely come out of the rifts.

[worldly sundial]

Rafkin??

The hell is a Rafkin?

[late sierra]

*rafkan

[worldly sundial]

Still, the hell is that?

[eternal venture]

the flying thing they showed off in the stream

[worldly sundial]

And am I going to regret asking.

the what

[late sierra]

its one of the new enemies in Rogue Core

[worldly sundial]

I've seen some of the new enemies in Rogue Core, they're terrifying.

[late sierra]

have you not seen the showcase? its the same place they showed off the new Core Spawn

[eternal venture]

The On the Horizon one.
They fly & charge the player

[worldly sundial]

hm

Oh great. Lost Souls.

[eternal venture]

Green weakspots on the sides

Is the Pre-Alpha going to be open? or Invite only/ a sign up thing?

[tiny beacon]

nah, flying trawlers

[native monolith]

No

They haven’t said that they won’t, but the glyphids aren’t appearing in rogue core so I image it’s true the other way too

[worldly sundial]

Sky Sharks.

FEAR.

[native monolith]

Maybe the core stone event will be expanded upon after rogue core is out though

[worldly sundial]

We have flying graboids now.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

[tall plume]

no info at the time

[native monolith]

Me minding my business when a giant fucking cave squid breaks through the wall behind me:

[native monolith]

Decided via marble race (the rats in ghost ship games basement told me)

Oh. Never mind

dont know if this was intended but it sure wasnt said in the stream lel

[plush turtle]

Very important question, and I think I already have my answer, will we be able to Rock and Stone ! ?

[native monolith]

yup

we saw them do it once iirrc

WE ARE UNBREAKABLE

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1310718948383264908/image.png?ex=67463da5&is=6744ec25&hm=da9e2d6b13f6a8e4c67ef7100529f63ca552c03d0d79accdc09b806615bdc90a&

2025 is looking good

[late sierra]

kinda upsetting ngl. That's like, what, eight enemies in Rogue Core then. That's not a lot of variety. I know it's pre-alpha so obviously its not the finished project, but still.

Besides I wasn't asking for these enemies to just appear normally. I just thought it would be a cool idea for these Rogue CORE enemies to occasionally be able to appear from the rifts that open from the CORE stones in the original game.

Instead of just Crawlers.

[native monolith]

uh

the game isnt even in early access

drg had pretty little before the one update that added a ton (tri jaws, wardens, brundles, nadelcytes?, etc)

also

i dont know if youve seen it but the debug menu has a ton more enemies

lemme go find a screenshot

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1309574950885003424/image.png?ex=674608b7&is=6744b737&hm=e30bfbc4f5ba27d4859983346bc88fc71d5b59c1e43cd8983a043d211c367100&

wallmouth gotta be my favorite rogue core enemy

[late sierra]

that's fair, but I didn't get the game until after the first season launch, so I was used to the huge variety of enemies.

Sorry if I sounded condescending or something.

[native monolith]

cant wait to be sideways caveleeched

[native monolith]

nah, its fine

i was kinda like that back in drgs earlier days but its really just because of the shellshock of how drg does publicity

no one else really does the amount of openness that they do in development

[late sierra]

I can't wait to see what these "TallBoys" are lmao.

[native monolith]

its probably a placeholder name, id image

idk prets weakspot is just called "tank ass" so it just as likely could be the final internal name xD

[late sierra]

GHOST SHIP GAMES, KEEP THE TALLBOY NAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[native monolith]

one of the ping voicelines should just be "thats one tall boy!"

[tall plume]

DRG, when it came out had like a dozen enemies, counting the non-moving enemies:
swarmers, grunts, praetorians, spitters, one dreadnought type (which was just a big praetorian but orange colored), brood nexus, leech, spitballers
oh, and exploders

and I think that was it.

RC isn't even in early access rn, they got time to make more.

[tiny beacon]

there's like twenty enemies in the spawn menu they showed already

doubtless not all are finished but they're not going to just ignore enemy variety

[native monolith]

pretty sure if we count the testing menu roguecore has more rn lol

[tall plume]

probably

[late sierra]

I'm aware. I was just told it.

[tall plume]

doesn't mean we'll see them all though

[native monolith]

yeah

[tiny beacon]

and dreadnought egg brood nexus

[tall plume]

DRG also had some enemies completely cut off, RC will be no exception

[tall plume]

what

[tiny beacon]

the dreadnought mission in early DRG which had like a red brood nexus for the cocoon

spawned swarmers and everything

[native monolith]

i hope we get to see them all

im interested what the shatterclaw family is

[late sierra]

that will be the first one cut jk

[tiny beacon]

all dev priority must go to the ghost whatever its name was

[native monolith]

D:

[native monolith]

i still need to pull up the debug mod and see if thats the same internal name as the unknown horror

because if it is, that implies theyre playing around with ghost enemies

[tiny beacon]

my guess is unknown horror is missing the '_corrupted' at the end

[late sierra]

imagine if the only glyphid in Rogue Core is the unknown horror

[tiny beacon]

crassus corespawn when

[native monolith]

its a corespawn crawler thats constantly dropping gold

we might have known this from the below decks but i think the weapon they use in the enemy showcase is called the shock blaster https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1310722981890101258/image.png?ex=67464166&is=6744efe6&hm=fb60047c144db9335af9708ad2c2fc9d69a2f36a85c08536fafaff3afeb45ca5&

if the crawlers the guard then whose the guardian?

[storm gazelle]

is there testing yet or?

[native monolith]

nope, q2 2025 is the pre alpha start

[storm gazelle]

ahhhh

i want to play so bad

[native monolith]

we all do

[storm gazelle]

only about 6 months

only have to wait 6 months

[native monolith]

i dont know why they didnt say it in the live stream but said it in the written live stream recaps, but woo rogue core soonish

Q: When are we gonna have Early Access for Rogue Core?
A: Right now, the plan is Q4 2025. So, in a year. We also need to plan for a Closed Alpha, and that’s slated for Q2 2025.

like... am i crazy or was this not the answer to the question?

[storm gazelle]

yep that is

[native monolith]

2:30:36

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZdq9fLe7yM&t=6752s

i mean this isnt really huge news, it obviously wouldnt be q1 because thats in about 3 months, it probably wouldnt q3 because thats not a great amount of testing time, so q2 was the pretty clear choice

[tiny beacon]

the crawler isn't the guard, the crawler is a disruptive enemy most comparable to a shellback

[native monolith]

well, just going off of what they said :P

think it was just an eyeing comparision

[tall plume]

they did say it on livestream IIRC

during the QA part

[native monolith]

also not like the creeper guardian is gonna be a glyphid grunt esc enemy it just seems likely

[native monolith]

just watched through it and the only thing said was "well before Q4 (early access)"

[harsh jetty]

hey, does anyone know how someone like me is gonna get access to the closed beta when it will be?

[native monolith]

^

[tall plume]

Q2 2025
no info on how

[harsh jetty]

not when but how to get access to the closed one

[harsh jetty]

thank you, ok

[native monolith]

No idea

[harsh jetty]

but youre both still very helpfull

[native monolith]

Probably lottery, maybe they’ll pull from different levels of experience too

[harsh jetty]

i dont have luck with these...

but if so, i can still hope

[last fossil]

did the horizon stream go over a release date / ea date

[last fossil]

nvm just saw this

[median sleet]

Obviously they'll pick me as I make a great canditate for the following reasons:

[rocky dove]

1: lotbug

[exotic oyster]

Lottery, write in applications to apply for the company, something inbetween.

[hollow bear]

Marble racing, baybeee

[exotic oyster]

That would be hilarious.

[carmine zenith]

I'm keeping all the rogue core copies for myself

[native monolith]

NO

[exotic oyster]

Do we know yet if Sludge Pump is coming back?

[carmine zenith]

The sludge pump was inside you all along, it never left.

[glad sonnet]

Will Rogue Core have bosses? That would be pretty cool

[hollow bear]

yeah, they mentioned having bosses planned

[delicate flax]

New pfp

[delicate flax]

what if i paid you 18 magnite

[native crystal]

he's going rouge

[late scarab]

you could even say he's rotten to the core

[rocky dove]

true

[vague orchid]

boys on a scale of 1 to rock how hyped r u for pre alpha

[left tinsel]

1

[plush rapids]

I'd be hyped for it if I knew how to join, so rock at the current moment.

[raven wharf]

Don’t spread misinformation.

[olive narwhal]

Lurking about in the trailer comments people really are not catching its a seperate game part

[vague orchid]

NOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS TOMORROW

whens it coming then?

[native monolith]

Q2, 2025

[vague orchid]

pre alpha?

[native monolith]

so, a little over 4 months (if they start right as q2 starts, but itll probably be more like 5)

[native monolith]

yeah

early access (public steam launch) is in a year from now

[vague orchid]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day’s ruined.

someone said “true” not “tues” lmao

[vague orchid]

i legitimately thought it was tomorrow

[broken flame]

Omg the corespawn are so sexy, an awesome mix of creepy and violent for a game with this art style. I'm in love

[old swift]

yes that is the word i would use to describe them

[olive narwhal]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/4482865501645572470?l=english the article for the stuff covered in the oth stream pertaining to rogue core is out

[olive narwhal]

the steam fourm for it is also not angry people for now(don't look at the fourms for the oth recap)

[native monolith]

This article really jumpscared me a few hours ago when they threw in the pre alpha date

[rugged shuttle]

yo is rouge core a separate game

or is it like a dlc to drg>

?

[olive narwhal]

Separate game

[rugged shuttle]

oh ok thx

[olive narwhal]

This has info

[verbal wolf]

I liked the part of Rogue Core where Guardian said "Well, Falconeer, that certainly was a rogue core." after beating the final boss.

[forest rain]

I wonder if rogue core will have its own cosmetic dlcs

[olive narwhal]

Covered in the Q and A at the bottom of the article

[olive narwhal]

This one

[livid geode]

this is peak, any news of when the beta would be open or when we could sign up for it?

[olive narwhal]

Closed alpha is q2 next year

Not even the devs know how it will work either

[livid geode]

Understandable, hopefully this project will see the light of day

[fresh ermine]

can someone please tell me what Q1, 2, 3 and 4 means? I did search it up but I didn't get results where it just tells me. I know it said something about year-quarters but I don't know if it means the same thing in DRG terms.

[simple cloak]

Wdym drg terms, it’s referring to irl year terms

[fresh ermine]

I just didn't know if this community uses different terms in releases or something cause I have never used year-quarters in my life. so I was just curious.

[simple cloak]

Naw it’s just doing plain old year quarters

[fresh ermine]

cool

[calm yoke]

Welcome to yearly scheduling kiddo.

[solid patrol]

stone

[nimble talon]

will we have beer in rogue core?

[long breach]

Yes

[spiral vector]

How much will rogue core cost?

[long breach]

if you haven't read the new steam post, a lot of info is summarised there from the on the horizon stream last thursday
#rogue-core-chat message

[paper schooner]

That's for the early access release. Closed alpha will come before that.

[elder nacelle]

will rogue core have more lore? and karl?

[solemn fog]

karl is a mining company myth so i doubt he would be mentioned in rogue core

since new dwarves and new ship

[median sleet]

We don't know if he's a myth. He could be a myth but we'll likely never know.

[solemn fog]

I mean theres never been proof of him existing, I like the headcanon he doesn't actually exist and its just something that was made up to keep the dwarves motivated for missions

Either way I don't see Karl being a rogue core thing anyway sinces its really only the mining crew that believe karl

I think a sly mention of it would be cool but I doubt he'd have the same effect on the reclaimers

since the reclaimers are already suppose to the be the elite crew

[native monolith]

Just got Michael to tell me during the dev stream that the shatterclaw enemy family is ‘more low to the ground, not quadrupedal, and more creepy’.
Sounds interesting

[blissful cape]

[vague orchid]

bro wants to core “spawn” wtf

[summer tiger]

Wonder what the requirements for joining closed alpha are going to be

[tall plume]

there's none for now

[vague orchid]

first we had molly the beloved

[summer tiger]

for now

[vague orchid]

now we have ellis the beloved

[hollow bear]

Alpha access is at the mercy of racing marbles

[dark verge]

I hope Rogue Core dwarfs wont be some party poopers who can't have fun and are all badass and serious.

Part of the charm of Dwarfs from DRG is that they are fun and goofy and have lots of camredere and being overtly serious I think would diminish enjoyement of playing as them

[tall plume]

they've just said on stream there will still be humor

[hollow bear]

I'm sure we'll have some goofs and gaffs, maybe some silliness. It's still Ghostship Games at the helm

[dark verge]

Good. I was a bit worried about that part when they were saying things about them being more badass and stuff because I was worried they would fall into pitfall of trying to be badass which just turns to cringe.

[pure vessel]

I guess as much as DRG has. Which is not a lot.

[tall plume]

"but it's weird it happened twice !"

[dark verge]

Edgestalker from what I see strafes more than a CSGO sweat. That will be annoying

[hollow bear]

Anders got demoted to translator 🥲

[undone jay]

Where can I get 4 copies of Rogue Core

[elfin ice]

Yeah its definitely weird before you enter the workforce , I'd never understood why they didn't just say "February" or something

Then when you enter industry (some, not all jobs) everything and your mother is scheduled around quarters so it makes more sense, but the dichotomy is weird

[hollow bear]

At the Core Store

[elfin ice]

Can I have more Core Stores?

[primal prism]

so, I kinda just wanted to ask whoever.
what exactly is rouge core? I know its a rougelike, but does it pretty much just function like DRG but delving deeper and deeper into the core sorta like a deep dive with upgrades and whatnot?

[tall plume]

all available info are in the pinned messsages

[primal prism]

Awesome, thanks!

[elder nacelle]

rogue core use pickaxe tho

[solemn fog]

rogue core reclaimers arent a mining company

just cus they have pickaxes doesnt mean they r miners

the reclaimers are a elite combat team

[tall plume]

DRG is a mining company and they're the ones employing the reclaimers

[solemn fog]

to well reclaim drg property

[verbal wolf]

And deal with whatever's got the core acting up.

[solemn fog]

core a lil freaky

[elder nacelle]

probably karl is the best elite

[high musk]

ok the trailer has sparked some interest in me

this game looks like it could be fun

[atomic jacinth]

oh, actually to think of it
we only know karl but we don't know the other dwarves' names

[tall plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51iSFHA3C2c

it's more of the same but still

[vagrant scaffold]

"For Place and Holder...! Oh, wait."

[elder nacelle]

I always thought that Karl is the big statue in memorial hall

[native monolith]

That’s a theory but I’ve always seen Karl as a figure mostly just known by the dwarves

There’s no mention of him outside the voice lines and skillcrusher

[tall plume]

Management also never talk about Karl so i doubt they would make him a statue

[iron elm]

Is the new Molly's name spelled Ellis?

[tall plume]

we don't know for sure

but that's how it sounds at least

[iron elm]

Happy to see R&D got off there asses and made something good for once!

[native monolith]

Ye

[native monolith]

Ellis is what I’ve seen so far

I hope the reclaimers nickname her Elly

[tall plume]

oh, they make cool and expensive stuff !

just not for the miners

[native monolith]

R&D are both the true heroes and villains of drg

Those poor bugs had no idea what was going on as R&D was discussing weaponizing microwaves

[vagrant scaffold]

The devs spelled it "Ellis" on the latest Steam article. It's confirmed.

[tall plume]

gotcha, thanks

[olive narwhal]

Dammit i was part of illis gang

[idle bison]

wouldn't trust it. the store has gone rogue

[marsh minnow]

reclaimers are cool

they are sent in when the mining teams have failed

doesn't that mean the average difficulty will be haz 5.5+?

(If we are to compare it relatively)

[olive narwhal]

Its suppose to be harder than average drg

[toxic flicker]

Is it coming to console?

[sand vale]

Eventually probably but i doubt it will on launch

[tall plume]

not during early access, at least

[novel granite]

Early access 1Q 2025 right?

[tall plume]

no, Q4

[novel granite]

Oh alr thanks

[knotty drum]

How is the closed alpha going to work? Is it randomly selected people that wishlisted or what

[olive narwhal]

its not known at this point

[winged cave]

so its simialr to original game but

it has luck involved?

[mossy ruin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike#Rogue-lites_and_procedural_death_labyrinths

[native monolith]

Me when the pre alpha date gets released in the recap for the stream but not the stream itself:

[tiny notch]

rogue store

[native monolith]

A few weeks ago, the grey out happened.

All communication has failed.

All personnel sent have not returned.

The IKEA has gone rogue.

[median sleet]

Has this been posted yet?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/1gzt0e2/early_logo_designs_for_rogue_core/

[solemn fog]

yes

[solemn fog]

uh oh guys i think this core may be rogue

[iron elm]

They mentioned on stream most likely start as a closed alpha and then an open alpha afterwards

[fickle abyss]

hopefully not 🎮 🔨

[delicate flax]

sounds like ellis is my new homie

flying molly that doesn't throw me off cliffs???

[idle bison]

unfunny

[low venture]

Man I would love to alpha test this game it just seems so fun

[coarse topaz]

same

it would be fun to test it with drg weapons before they replace them with the rogue core weapons

since they showed off cryo cannon in the trailer lol

and a bunch of others

imagine special powder in rogue core

it doesn't seem like it is that kind of game

i also think they should add outerwild-esque anti-gravity and rolling mechanics as you get towards the core

maybe not rolling

[pure vessel]

The plan is to have both RC weapons DRG weapons in the game.

[paper schooner]

False security.... 😈

[royal axle]

can you stand on Ellis?

[forest rain]

I'm so excited for the new classes, I wonder if any of the original 4 will stay

I think they have 5 classes at the moment, 3 of those being the Slicer, Falconer and Guardian

[long breach]

Most likely not. Iirc the classes are basically what special attack or equipment they have which is a different system to base drg

That melee blade looks awesome tho 👀

[mossy ruin]

and spotter and gorgon

[forest rain]

I kind of figured, since equipment and upgrades are randomized per run no?

[long breach]

Most equipment is found

But some are class dependent, and you start with only pickaxe

You can also read the steam post for some info if you havent already

Its in pinned messages

[forest rain]

I think I've only watched a recap of the dev stream

[mossy ruin]

equipment that you find in RC is class dependent?

[long breach]

Ah that would also have a bunch of info tho

[mossy ruin]

I don't think that's true

[long breach]

No

I meant starting gear

[mossy ruin]

oh

[long breach]

Tho probably for certain things yes

Cuz iirc you can upgrade your class special gear

[mossy ruin]

well you said
"Most equipment is found
But some are class dependent, and you start with only pickaxe"

[long breach]

Ah ok, i can see how that sentence can be confusing now

Iirc everyone starts with pickaxe

Then you have a special which is class dependent

[mossy ruin]

yeah, pretty sure they said the special class skill will be upgradable

[long breach]

Then everything else you find in the caves

[forest rain]

That's quite cool, actually. I wonder if it will use the same framework as DRG, the mods for this game would be insane

Season 5 has already delivered on the horror, I hope RC has an Alien Fireteam feel

[mossy ruin]

we saw like 7 enemies so far

I like em

[forest rain]

The Corespawn looks like an awesome Family of enemies to fight

[long breach]

Oh also, the dev stream from yesterday they had mike on stream and it was basically QnA

You might get some more info from there too

[forest rain]

Is the vod on their twitch?

[long breach]

Not sure about twitch but its def on youtube

[forest rain]

sweet, thanks!

[native monolith]

Me and my friends have been comparing it to GTFO

With the greyout there seems to be a heavy “you shouldn’t be here” vibe

Unfortunately for the core spawn, capitalism does not care

[visual blaze]

What are the classes? I missed the livestream and dont have time to watch it

[forest rain]

That's a good one too, Den of Wolves is coming out 2025 as well right?

[olive narwhal]

Theirs a article recapping the stream in the pins

Specifically the rogue core parts

[forest rain]

Slicer, Guardian, Spotter, Gorgon and Falconer apperantly

[visual blaze]

Coolio

[native monolith]

Ye

We saw slicer and falconer

[forest rain]

But they don't have a set number that will be available on release

[native monolith]

Here are the two classes we’re workshopping:
The Slicer. Equipped with a devastating arm-mounted plasma blade, the Slicer offers extreme close-range crowd clearing with this signature melee attack. The blade cuts clean through terrain, too. We’re still workshopping the pool of possible upgrades that will allow you to experiment with a proper melee build on this one.
The Falconeer. This Reclaimer brings a wrist-mounted flying shock drone, which you can send into battle to deliver shock attacks to enemies. It’s your elemental battle companion, able to help with single-target or crowd-control builds alike. We’re also experimenting with how you can upgrade this drone – could you get it to do remote revives?

That’s their description

[forest rain]

I'm watching the rest of the stream and GTFO is a great way to describe it

[teal mica]

And names for a couple more!

[mossy ruin]

true

[pine skiff]

Isn't GTFO a literal stealth game now, though

[forest rain]

Depends on the section of the level, but a solid majority of the actual combat is horde shooting

There are a few missions with permanent alarms blaring that will force you to explore deeper in a facility and do other objectives in between waves, or if you're too slow, during them.

[pine skiff]

I was interested in it a while back but I wasn't sure if it was my thing

[forest rain]

Hacking consists of someone actively entering commands into a terminal while being defended, and opening doors requires players to follow a line in the darkness and stand still on that point.

[pine skiff]

A lot of gameplay seemed to be "synchronise your stealth melee kills or you will get a wave"

But I guess the ruined facility atmosphere could be a good comparison for RC

[forest rain]

It can be, but it ultimately depends on each room

most of the time, you're only doing a "stealth" room if there's a valuable resource or mission objective there.

I think I would consider the puzzles to be the hardest thing GTFO has to offer. Rundown 1 is scary and good for setting atmosphere, but the difficulty picks up during Rundown 2 and 3, where you're being assaulted by new enemy types and environmental hazards. I think my two favorite examples are a level where you have to constantly defend a bridge against waves of enemies, but the longer you survive, the longer in between each wave, which allows you to move further into the complex and gather resources, before eventually hacking and defending a reactor. Another is a generator room filled with toxic gas, each battery or fuse you add to it turns on more fans, therefor reducing the amount of gas in the main room and opening up more and more doors. But some of those sections aren't needed, so you as a group can decide if you need to enter an area for ammo or healing after each horde you fight in that room.

[signal adder]

do you know when rougle coure early access starts?

[hollow bear]

Q4 2025

[median sleet]

Going to my cryosleep chamber, see you all in a year!

[upper nimbus]

Yo I'm super excited for this but I was talking to a friend and he called Rogue Core "a helldivers clone". Ive seen alittle but would it essentially be a helldivers type game if we are soilders instead of miners

[tiny beacon]

neither the short term gameplay loop nor long term objectives are similar to Helldivers. DRG itself is closer in structure than Rogue Core will be

and even if they were the same objective style, both have radically different gameplay anyways between Helldivers' approach to weaponry and DRG's terrain-focused combat, which RC is inheriting

[upper nimbus]

copy ty for that response 😄

[tall plume]

how the fuck is Rogue Core a helldiver clone when it's not even similar in mechanics or even genre

[tiny beacon]

as much as it's funny to joke about it as a genre, 'four idiots go into a terrible environment and die' isn't a genre

more like a trope I guess

[elfin ice]

I like to call Helldiver's a DRG clone, just to piss off Helldiver's enjoyer's 🙃

[native monolith]

Guys, rogue core is a roguelike!!!111!1! Therefore it’s a risk of rain clone!1!1!1!1!1

[neat acorn]

it's a way of life

[steady lava]

I hope engineer has his turrey

[raven wharf]

They’re all doom clones anyways

Except technically helldivers is a third person shooter.

[verbal wolf]

You dive into what is essentially Hell.

[tiny notch]

rogue core is an A-team clone

[novel granite]

The same way Ultrakill is a Doom Eternal clone

Which is a Quake clone

[native monolith]

If you think about it, everything is a tennis for two clone

[novel granite]

Which is a Doom (the 90s one) clone

Anyway

I really like the concept of Falconeer

We need to name the birb guys

[verbal wolf]

Let's name the bird "Better Stun Sweeper".

[grizzled surge]

gotta be Venerated Stun Sweeper so it has the same acronym to confuse people

[frosty creek]

Wait. Is rouge core not part of drg or is it it's own thing?

[tiny beacon]

it's in the same setting as DRG, but a different game

[frosty creek]

Oh. Guessing I have to buy another. Understood. Was thinking it would be an update.

Or DLC.

[cold steeple]

Game ain’t even out yet and I already know I’m maining Falconer

[delicate flax]

It was intended to be the content DLC for DRG but grew into its own game.

[olive narwhal]

give the article in the pins a read for more info you may be pretty interested in the Q and A and the bottom

[latent lynx]

So… I’ll have to buy it…? Money well spent.

[delicate flax]

You will have to had bought it either way since it's a DLC

Still money well spent

[timid veldt]

I'm mc-hyped

[grave cradle]

Me when i found out that console release is only planned after full launch

[sly wolf]

Console gamers

[runic zenith]

Will it have cross-platform?

[tiny beacon]

why do you drive people apart like that?

[visual galleon]

I'm here for the core

How does one apply for the close alpha play test and do we know roughly when it's going live?

[crude fulcrum]

That's all we have unfortunately. I'm sure they'll give more info closer to the date

[olive narwhal]

Unknown and q2

[crude fulcrum]

But even then, we never know if things might change

The schedule for rogue core predicted closed alpha to be Q1 2024 initially, and then changed to Q1 2025 before finally settling on Q2 2025 now.

I'm optimistic that Q2 will be when the closed alpha releases, but whether or not GSG is able to follow up on a Q4 Early Access release is to be seen

inb4 rogue core changed to Q2 2026 Early access release

[next crater]

lol gamedev, amirite?

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/i-guess-memes-meme-gif-17950413

[verbal wolf]

How Rogue can this Core really be? Surely it's not that bad.

[royal axle]

It can use sneak attack

[thin apex]

I wonder if there's a boss for each stage, and, if at a certain point, Bosses could spawn as normal enemies like how it happens in Risk of Rain

[thin apex]

dnc as long as they make a really polished and fun game (which already looks like) they can have my money

Take in mind the game at least has the devs being talkative about what they're gonna do during development, unlike others like Team Cherry and Silksong lol

[atomic narwhal]

Rogue and core!

[static sable]

Heyo any word on rogue core?

[storm mountain]

working on it ...

[atomic narwhal]

All the new enemy types look so cool

I can't wait to destroy them with weapons

[thorn moth]

Is there any FAQ about test?

[verbal spoke]

I have enough faith in GSG that I'd be willing to pay full retail price for alpha access to Rogue Core. Deal? 😂 Pretty please?

[tall plume]

all the pinned messages

[tall plume]

no beta for now, you'll have to wait 'til next year Q2

[marsh minnow]

watch as the dwarves get the Silksong treatment

[cobalt atlas]

I'm scared, core spawn from season 5 is already tough to handle, the rogue core enemy models look awesome but I'm scared to face them.

The stream also said the dwarfs will have the same voices? I think it'll be more unique if they have own voices since they're a different calibre of dwarfs after all.

[native monolith]

It’s in a weird spot for me

On one had I’d love to see a new voice actor for the dwarves but also Javier O'Neill is really good, and I don’t know if it would be easy to find someone comparable to him

[median sleet]

I assume we won't be facing like 20 of those at the same time while new ones keep spawning

Like we do in DRG

[native monolith]

The core spawn creepers in the walls disagree

[olive narwhal]

The grunt equivalents will probably be the primary ones

They will probably save the crawlers for a different spawnpool

Which i think is how they were listed in the dev menu

[median sleet]

Maybe similar to slashers/ guards.

[native monolith]

We presume that creepers have a slasher and guard equivalent

[olive narwhal]

Names we saw lean that way

[native monolith]

It was uh, creeper guardian and creeper warrior

[median sleet]

Ah I see, I haven't had time to properly watch and analyze evertyhing they showed

[native monolith]

Here’s a image of the debug menu for enemies

We don’t know really know much about any of the enemies not shown besides their names, but I got mikkel to tell me on stream that the shatterclaw family “are grounded, scary, not quadrupedal, and one has an aoe attack”

Oh and the exploder tank ghost might be the unknown horror but I haven’t gotten around to checking it’s internal name in drg

[olive narwhal]

I wonder how a non quadrupeds will work

[native monolith]

It has corrupted on its name which is um… Is scary

[native monolith]

I mean glyphids have 8 legs

[olive narwhal]

So non quadruped is pretty vague in this context

[median sleet]

1 leg

[olive narwhal]

2 and a half legs

[native monolith]

Image a sentient pogo stick that hops around and tries to crush you

[olive narwhal]

Im pretty happy that they expanding beyond the bugs

[native monolith]

Yeah

It definitely fits the theme of drg but the three main enemy types are bugs, flying bugs, and robots

It is harder for design but I like the more unique, smaller enemy families which I’m happy they’re doing

With corespawn as the backbone or… core… composition

[olive narwhal]

Really lets the creative juices flow

[native monolith]

Yeah

[cobalt atlas]

When i mean different voice i don't mean to change voice actor, use the same one but maybe change the pitch of the voices?

🤷 add some distorion maybe to their voice so they sound more robotic or "elite"

[native monolith]

I’d be fine with that too

[cobalt atlas]

bit like the death troopers form star wars

[cobalt atlas]

They'll probably be annoying to deal with still. since they're so fast.

[native monolith]

New friendly fire voice line:

”You got worse aim than those tempest rangers!”

[cobalt atlas]

Nice!

Here's one: "You're a trained elite arent you? don't shoot like those drillers."

Voice line: "perhaps i should have just stayed a miner, at least they have beers."

[bronze owl]

Hi guys, I don't talk here often but I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding the closed alpha play test? I'm assuming they'll be giving keys to known community members and such, but is there also maybe somewhere to apply? Wishful thinking but please lmk thanks!

[olive narwhal]

We have approximate period of Q2 next year but how it will work is not known

[native monolith]

If rogue core doesn’t have alcohol it’s instantly the worst game ever made

[celest viper]

one shot of vodca

(2L)

[open siren]

there should be a hidden drink that you can only get by making your dwarf do 100 pushups

[marsh minnow]

the pre-alpha footage for rogue core already looks sick

considering what pre-alpha footage for DRG looks like compared to DRG now... yeah this games gonna be sick asf

do yall think they will outright re-use assets and the art style, or change things up?

[floral jetty]

I think they might have some things from drg like curtain assets in biomes and such which is a guarantee

[deft fog]

IIRC in the stream they said they will be re-using some DRG assets, but only where they deemed it appropriate to do do

[floral jetty]

We should get duel flamethrowers

[calm rune]

can scouts have flamethrowers

[glass pendant]

Pretty sure they used a copy of drg as a base

And built off of it from there

[silver otter]

Whos rock do i gotta stone to get into the DRG Rouge Core private alpha? lol

[delicate flax]

Pay the devs 12 magnite.

[long breach]

Donate your bones to Mike

[olive narwhal]

They stripped back drg and worked from there alongside saying they would reuse drg stuff where it makes sense

So both statments are true

[tiny beacon]

it reuses DRG's terrain system and physics and possibly more, and thematically will look similar even if the equipment has a slightly different aesthetic to differentiate it

[olive narwhal]

Although alot stuff was probably touched up with the UE5 upgrade and what ever they had to do to make weapon swapping in a mission stable

[glossy heath]

I wonder if they are going to hire more staff, it will be difficult to maintain 3 games

[olive narwhal]

Not sure what the 3rd game is

They only develop drg and rogue core

[robust yoke]

survivor is a game under the drg name but it's not being developed by ghost ship

[median sleet]

Can't believe GSG is developping 18 games rn

[tiny notch]

i can’t believe gsg has published and own all of steam

[sly nova]

hmm... I'd imagine Rogue Core is somewhat like a endless deep dive, keeping all your ammo per stage

[tiny beacon]

kinda except not endless and with key differences to deep dives

[wise swift]

wait a rogue core chat? the gmae is still not released though?

also, is there any whim of a release date yet?

[olive narwhal]

The pins have all the info

[round harbor]

Q1 next year will release closed alpha and Q4 of the same year will be the early access release

As for the other questions, we have an RC chat to discuss all the stuff we have so far and speculate on whatever we think could be in the game. Is just to have some fun

[tall plume]

Q2, not Q1

[round harbor]

right sorry

[wheat pewter]

it's Q1 in my heart

[native monolith]

Technically it could start right as Q1 ends and Q2 starts

[tiny notch]

it just released

[native monolith]

Leaf lovers trying to bait dwarves:

[prime spindle]

Rouge core is gonna be cool as heck

[timid veldt]

Hey guys if you go to the last Rogue Core stream- "The State of Rogue Core (On The Horizon 2024)" and go to 27:56 the art director pulls up a list of all current enemy names in RC so far

[vagrant scaffold]

Thank you devs for releasing so much juicy info on RC, now this channel finally has stuff worth talking about.

[silver otter]

I'll take that trade any day

[timid veldt]

My fav Rogue Core enemy is the Spider ExploderTankGhost Corrupted BXE

Closely followed by the

Wall Mouth

[native monolith]

Yup

I theorized on what they might mean a bit ago

[native monolith]

Also this is presumablyyyyyy the unknown horror

[timid veldt]

Spider ExploderTankGhost Corrupted BXE always has my back

[native monolith]

I… keep forgetting to check the drg internal name for it

But I’d image it’s the same but without corrupted

Which implies that the core might have corrupted the spooky ghost which uh

Man

I sure hope not

[timid veldt]

They did mention they don't want any DRG enemies in there apart from the core-related stuff we've seen in season 5

[native monolith]

Yeah, but the unknown horror extends a bit beyond the fact that it’s a bulk det

It’s more so the idea that there’s ghosts on hoxxes, which maybe they originated in the core…?

Maybe it’s just a coincidence in the naming but it’s interesting regardless

I’m more interested in the shatterclaws and “imp” but that ones in the testing section so the name is probably temp

All we know of the shatterclaws is they don’t have 4 legs and they’re grounded

Also scary, I forgot exactly what Mikkel said

[steel hearth]

My first thought on seeing imp was core spawn equivalent of swarmers

tiny demons

[merry vapor]

when the release ?

[timid veldt]

unknown

[tall plume]

Q4

[sinful hollow]

I got my eyes on Rogue Core.

[tiny beacon]

with the way they're doing regions, it'll have its eyes on you too.

[verbal pine]

When will drg release?

[young vessel]

new year's eve

[wheat pewter]

Rogue Core wont in fact release in Q4, it will however potentially launch into Early Access in the fourth quarter of the year twenty twenty-five, the release date (1.0 game) is yet to be determined!

[grave cradle]

So i basically have to wait a year for console release

[mossy ruin]

more than that probably

in a years time, there will be PC early access

[wheat pewter]

I believe Deep Rock Galactic took a total of four years to reach 1.0, you're in good hands here at ghost ship games

[olive narwhal]

The steam page puts RCs early access at 18 to 24 months

Honestly for a pre alpha it already looks pretty good

What building on existing foundation does

[tall plume]

4 years if we count from the very first prototype and funding of the company, so not too bad!

Rogue Core should come around much faster, given the position they're in now.

[olive narwhal]

More experienced devs now with one of the tools they had to develop for drg the terrain generation already made this time around

[wheat pewter]

yeah I heard for Rogue Core they decided to remake Deep Rock Galactic to function on a Playstation 1, I do not understand this decision but I am looking forward to the results!

[olive narwhal]

People wanted optimisation they are gonna get optimisation

[tiny notch]

rogue core will be releasing exclusively on the nintendo gameboy colour

[delicate grotto]

who up going rogue on they core

[glossy isle]

So I'm kinda outta the loop due to irl stuff. I know about Rouge core but is it a add on to drg like a dlc or is it a separate game just on the same planet

[rocky dove]

separate game

[glossy isle]

Ah ok, makes sense due to how much stuff there is

[vague orchid]

will pre alpha be playable? if so, when’s it coming again?

[verbal pine]

the year 3000
Not much has changed but we live underwater

[snow sky]

Will rogue core be cross play

[timid veldt]

Hopefully soon 😔

[verbal pine]

im sick of rogue core, they abandoned it for drg. i want season 12 instead

[acoustic crater]

Cant wait for an open playtest

[tall plume]

no

[verbal pine]

will ser pounce be crossplay

[vague orchid]

Making another game has huge benefits, plus their passion for new projects

[verbal pine]

see the joke was that i swapped the roles of drg and rogue core, implying that rogue core was released before drg. the humor is found in the people who are upset at GSG for making a new game. thank you and fried noodles

[vague orchid]

looks like i misunderstood then

my bad

[olive narwhal]

You do get the benefits on working a new project

More than most

[verbal pine]

it is fine and well my good fellow

[vague orchid]

Ya its silly how some ppl be hating on it

this is gonna be my top 3

[native monolith]

Q2 2025, and ya it’ll be playable, I don’t image they would do a pre alpha otherwise :P

The real question right now is just how will it be decided who gets in and how many will

Presumably wrong channel, unless you have the super secret pre pre alpha

[latent grail]

my bad

[worn burrow]

GSG give us Rogue Core pre order i am feral for this game

https://tenor.com/view/ivy-deadlock-ivy-deadlock-kratos-meme-gif-13606712141617415696

[fresh ermine]

imagine they make a beast master class and when you befriend a corespawn, the dwarves call it "dave"

[sick ivy]

i want it

i name everything dave

i want a dave

[opal gazelle]

well now I want a dave

if they dont add it idk if I can play RC

[vague orchid]

thanks once again

[sudden rune]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-embed-fail-embed-discord-embed-gif-embed-gif-21924703

[coarse topaz]

sounds very cool, thanks for responding

it seems like it will have a lot of things that i like in a game.

still holding out for the drill amphibian suggestion now that the tamer class is in the game #rogue-core-suggestions message

it could easily be a rafkan ngl

[atomic narwhal]

I'm really looking forward to the interior of the ramrod
Really hoping we get silly games like we do in the rig (gambling please)

[native monolith]

Won’t happen

iirc, they can’t add stuff like that without content rating due to Denmarks laws..?

I might be getting the specifics wrong but its something like that

Well actually now that I think about it they might be able to because it’s a new game

[tall plume]

age rating and country laws are indeed hurdle that can stop those ideas

like how you can't have both alcohol and tobacco in one game without the age rating going up

[native monolith]

Oh yeah that’s why gunners cigarette is only in art

For a new game it might be fine to do but I think the problem is you can’t really add it to drg without some complications due to it already being out and purchased by a lot of people

[celest viper]

this game is going to be a banger

ong

[worn burrow]

My point stands lmao

[neat acorn]

was it ever specified if RG gets new music or tracks from DRG?

or Im guessing a mix?

[olive narwhal]

Its suppose to get new tracks the core stone track is a taste test i presume

Since its similar vibe for the pre alpha trailer

[neat acorn]

looking forward to that

[tall plume]

it's getting new tracks

[neat acorn]

hell yea

[vagrant scaffold]

The DRG corestone track is great, love it.

[worldly sundial]

I love it.

The best way I can describe it is that it feels off.

[vagrant scaffold]

I wish I could relive the experience of facing the corestone for the first time, feeling the contrast between the goofy Hoxxes bugs and the scary corespawns, same for the music.

[verbal wolf]

I wish I could relieve the experience of pub Core Stone again, with me having to come back to my team because the greenbeard opened it up, and hold M1 at it with Ice Storm until it died.

[vagrant scaffold]

That'll happen again next time the game goes on sale, make sure to play Haz 3 to catch the greenbeards.

[opal gazelle]

I see a lot playing h1 or h2

Im scared to touch h1

[pure vessel]

I don't think Denmark is very stingy with that kind of stuff. It's mostly because of US and other EU countries such as Germany.

Most stuff goes in Denmark I'd say. A glance at the children shows will tell you all you need to know.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dillermand

With Rogue Core we are aiming for a darker tone, but not sure if we have an age rating in mind.

so I think nothing is off the table for now.

[royal axle]

Oh my god I completely repressed that memory

[native monolith]

Ah. That makes more sense

[wicked pier]

Will GSG release maintenance updates before the release of Season 06 or are they focusing entirely on Rogue Core?

[cobalt atlas]

This just came to me a new voice line: "Hey look it's a MISHROOM!, how did it even get down here anyway?"

[pure vessel]

Don't know. We've done some bug fixes here and there, but it's basically a programmer and a QA doing that.

I haven't had time to properly look at anything design-wise, but I know Mike has looked a bit on some balancing of overclocks that made it in with those bug fixes.

So yeah time will tell. Depends on if we have the time and resources for it.

[gray warren]

Dear Devs, Is RC going to have distinct Levels/Missions, or will it be free connecting Chambers like a Metroidvania? And if RC is Level/Mission based, will they be free-form like DRG, or more linear like in Mario or various Roguelikes?

[tall plume]

pinned messages for details

[native monolith]

Actually this made me wonder; do we know if rogue core has dirt?

[glossy heath]

What is the average time between improvements? I understand that everything can change, but what is it at the current stage?

[native monolith]

They got basically the whole team working on it so I image they’re making pretty good progress

[hasty dove]

What is rogue core? A friend of mine mentioned it and I'm curious and all I can find online is that it's a spinoff.

[tall plume]

pinned message for all available info

[hasty dove]

Ok

Thanks

[small pulsar]

What is this channel for?

[stable spindle]

Talking about the deep rock game spinoff rogue core which isn’t out yet with details about it in the pinned messages

[wintry sand]

Man the Gloob Dlood boss fight in Rogue Core is so cool, bad thing he is weak to every element

[coarse topaz]

lmao

at least they consulted a child psychologist

i wonder if we'll see dwarf corpses in rogue core

actually i wonder what happened to the dwarves that were working underground before it was abandoned? (or was it all robots?)

[knotty ocean]

I just saw the teaser trailer and is it just me or is the main ship smoking like it's broken

[solemn fog]

i mean i'd assume the facilities were self sufficient, only needing dwarves sent down there for routine maitenance or setting them up

[maiden cobalt]

Will rouge core be on new gen consoles?

[delicate flax]

when it fully launches yes

not during the beta/testing phase though when it gets released to steam

[hearty granite]

Is rogue core another team of miner connected to the main team on the DRG universe?

[delicate flax]

correct, although the teams are only connected by the fact they work at the same company (DRG)

[fringe narwhal]

Might I just say, whoever came up with the idea to give one of the reclaimers an energy sword needs a raise

[coarse topaz]

probably years of people asking for melee weapons lol

but yeah all these classes seem badass

[round harbor]

I dunno if it has been stated somewhere, but do we know how we can join the closed alpha?

[olive narwhal]

In the pins

For a time frame

How it will work is not yet known

[coarse topaz]

not sure if they have a closed alpha yet

unless it is a really really closed alpha

[round harbor]

so I assume that the one on the roadmap means that closed alpha will be open to join then?

Or does it mean closed alpha ends?

[coarse topaz]

unless they change it again, that should be the start date

[round harbor]

oh ok thanks

[hearty granite]

The gameplay is pretty much like DRG but with additional mechanic???

[verbal pine]

It's not even in alpha yet

What gameplay

[simple cloak]

My best guess is they’re talking about the pre alpha trailer

[elfin ice]

"I WAS IN ALPHA!"

[delicate flax]

Gamers when they see prealpha footage for a game that isn't releasing until a year later

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/gary-there-i-am-spongebob-spongebob-commerical-gif-22318667

[native monolith]

I mean this is kinda expected

No one is really used to GSGs open development system

Well, at this point I am but I think a lot of people don’t realize that they’re basically showing us something that we normally wouldn’t even know existed if it was a different company

Everything is subject to change because it’s so early, but they show us anyway because they like getting as much feedback as possible and it’s nice to see their progress in real time in my opinion :)

[tall plume]

they're not showing this because they want feedback

that'd be for testing

and as they said, they even showed things there weren't really comfortable showing
They did it purely because it was good business to do and it was highly requested

[native monolith]

Fair enough

I think it’s a mix though

[tall plume]

also, they're just passionate and do want to show us stuff if they can 😄

[native monolith]

This is some good set up for their testing

I see so many people asking about the pre alpha

[native monolith]

Yup

It’s nice for both sides

[tall plume]

yeah, they had to communicate on that, since things got delayed

[native monolith]

They get encouragement and we get to see it

[tall plume]

not that they had to show something for it but I do think they wanted to, both because it's cool and to quell people's anxiety about it

[elfin ice]

They also don't have a million shareholders to appease and 30 Csuite execs to fill up with 100s of millions of dollars each , so that's nice

Makes it easier on the Dev cycles

[median sleet]

Well they're owned by Embracer which is publicly owned. But as far as I can tell they don't seem to interfere

[elfin ice]

Oh I stand semi corrected! Didn't realize they were owned by a parent company

But yeah they seem to be pretty good

[median sleet]

Yeah, Coffee Stain bought GSG and Coffee Stain is owned by Embracer

[tall plume]

Coffee Stain never bought GSG

Embracer did it, Coffee Stain only published DRG - which is now almost self-published at this point

but a deal is a deal so Coffee Stain is still considered the publisher

[median sleet]

Oh, I have it mixed up yeah. But GSG is still operating under Coffee Stain, Embracer is also splitting into 3 companies or something, and one of them will be 'Coffee Stain and friends'

[tall plume]

yeah

[median sleet]

'The purchase price consideration contains an upfront part and an 8-year earn-out and consists of a mix of cash and newly issued Embracer B shares. The transaction is in line with previous Embracer transactions.'

I hope they were able to sell those shares quickly lol

Anyway Rogue Core am I right?

Did we get any info about Rogue Core singeplayer?

Like Bosco?

[carmine zenith]

Playable bosco

[tall plume]

nope

[tiny beacon]

coffee stain and all their other companies also named coffee stain

[native monolith]

There is one upgrade thing that we know will more common in solo, iirc

Or just be done solo, I forget the exact wording

[sinful hollow]

On a Scale Of 1 to 10…I’m A Hard 11 For Rogue Core, And The Measurement Device For Hype Exploded And Blew Up @native monolith in the Blast.

[native monolith]

NO

Not without playing rogue core, I can’t explode yet

[sinful hollow]

The Hype Nuke Has No Safety, No Way To Stop The Boom-Boom Now.

[atomic jacinth]

cue the end times music

man, i want a melee build/weapon in rogue core

imagine the other 3 just hitting from afar, maybe even a fat boy enjoyer too
then there's this one crazy dwarf just slashing the hell out of the corestone creeps, or with knuckles too, i'll take it for funny

[timid veldt]

It'd be interesting to see. The biggest problem is all the damage you'd take up close, I feel like the best way to combat that while it still being fun is maybe a kind of rage ability that heals you for kills melee / temporary damage reduction that extends on melee kills

It would allow you to take the hits that come with being in melee range in a moderately sustainable way while still being certainly mortal and just as vulnerable situationally as the rest, especially if the resistance is only to melee damage

[atomic jacinth]

yeah i can see that
that'd be really fun mechanic to have

[tiny beacon]

maybe as an upgrade path or overclock-equivalent for the slicer class?

[timid veldt]

Yessss

[acoustic shell]

I hope that there’ll be a point where we could get access to the alpha of Rogue Core.

I’ll be playing it just as much as I do with DRG.

[devout scarab]

i think they bought a part of GSG in the publishing deal

it's a common thing to do in publishing deals

[median sleet]

Can I buy a part of GSG? Maybe a little corner in the office for me to observe from?

[devout scarab]

you would have to talk to embracer 😛

[coarse topaz]

@embracer give us gsg

we will add all the stupid ideas from #suggestions to drg

[atomic jacinth]

stupid? they're the greatest suggestions the world has ever seen

[coarse topaz]

nah just the stupid ones

we'll leave the good ones out

[round harbor]

as long as I can still get flatout drunk before a mission I'm happy

[pure vessel]

RC has a drone during solo play, like in DRG.

[pure vessel]

No Reclaimers are not miners.

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/so-good-wink-smile-oh-yeah-its-true-gif-24163876

Maybe. Who knows?

[pure vessel]

A run will consist of different levels of cave systems, but will be very similar to how DRG cave systems work.

[round harbor]

This time he is named Boss-co cause he gonna be strapped

[pure vessel]

No. But yes.

[tall plume]

[round harbor]

I'm assuming its more handmade generation cause of the structures needing to make sense?

[pure vessel]

We have 2 week sprints and every sprint makes it go leap and bounds. Usually at the end of a sprint the game has gone very far. Depends on what we are working on.

[pure vessel]

We have dwarven made structures and then generated caves.

All is still random. The rooms are hand curated like in DRG though.

[round harbor]

so like in, 2 weeks you develope something, then another week to test and balance?

[round harbor]

Awesome

[pure vessel]

More like we work 2 weeks on developing something, then 1 day to play and plan for next sprint.

Bug fixing and playing happens throughout the week.

We don't balance too much at this point.

[round harbor]

Thank you 😁

[pure vessel]

We did have a week of stabilizing and bug fixing because the build was super unstable, but that has happened once.

Otherwise we catch it as we go. Which is why we play as often as we can.

I have like 70 hours of Rogue Core played at this point.

[keen cargo]

more like 4 weeks lol 😅
