rogue-core-chat

[hollow palm]

What’s the red square mean

[native monolith]

I’d say around drg… but maybe a little less. They said it’s too early to say but I’m pretty sure they’re also estimating around drgs price

[hollow palm]

Oh misspelling rogue

[olive narwhal]

Rouge is french for red i think

I may be extremely wrong

[hollow palm]

hilarious lol

[native monolith]

With early access and post release updates we can really say

[olive narwhal]

Its also pretty easy to just spell it correctly

[native monolith]

Just like, hold on to 30 dollars. Im pretty it’ll be less than that on launch

[olive narwhal]

Rogue

Its in the channel name

[native monolith]

Everytime someone says rouge core release is delayed another day

[olive narwhal]

Either way rogue core gets my kangaroo bucks when it launches

[sullen mica]

alright, thanks!

[hollow palm]

get new game. “rogue core”
look inside
It’s orange with purple

[native monolith]

It’s definitely in my pool of games I have dedicated money for

[stray glacier]

im guessing as much as normal drg

[stray glacier]

you are correct, but for the last godforsaken time it is spelled R O G U E

rouge and rogue are different things

i am so hyped for rogue core, even though i dont even know how the gameplay loop is gonna work

[olive narwhal]

Was explaining the backstory of the red square reactions

[stray glacier]

i hope rogue core is just endless drg

clearly the artstyle is similar, unlike survivor

i speak french so when people say rouge core it essentially stuns me for a second from lingual confusion

[stray glacier]

we'll be getting gta 8 dlc before rogue core

[broken flame]

Atm the current playtime per run is expected to be 45 mins to an hour and a half. Whether or not we'll see an endless mode who knows

[thin spire]

Rouge Core seems like it might not allow jumping but at the same time, does look like it will allow you to jump.

[snow berry]

Didn't know I spelled it wrong lol. Sorry for any meltdowns that may have taken place. 😅

[median sleet]

Sorry, but you have to leave the server now.

[hollow bear]

Defenestration is our method

[sand vale]

Why would you not be allowed to jump lmao

Its still gonna have drgs terrain system

End the run by looking down and digging for 5 seconds

[median sleet]

Do you have proof jumping is possible?

[olive hound]

What's this "Jump Core" I've been hearing about? 🤔

[icy vapor]

https://youtu.be/VXnK8YrWdA0?t=67
1:07 mark.

[warm anvil]

Who reacted to my message with a 🟥 a year later 😭

[forest rain]

🤷‍♀️

[thin spire]

It's kind of like a first person version of DRG Survivor. So I imagined it wouldn't let you.

[hollow bear]

Are you sure that's not just the dwarf pushing the planet down by force with his feet?

[harsh lynx]

what? DRG Rogue Core is nothing like a first person version of DRG Survivor. The only similarity I can even think of is that you end up picking upgrades/weapons. Everything else is completely different. Survivor (S): auto-aim, Rogue Core (R): manually aim. S: get xp to level up, R: mine expenite to level up (iirc). S: is a vampire survivors - like, R: is a roguelite. To name just a few

[icy vapor]

I'd be more worried about the entire game being about casual exploration and weapon collecting, since there's no enemies shown and you never get to actually shoot any of the weapons...

[hollow bear]

Looks like a tinkering simulator 🥲

[icy vapor]

Mining Equipment Repair Simulator

[stray glacier]

this was originally gonna be part of the main game. youre probably gonna be able to jump

i like to think of this less as a spinoff, and more as drg 2

im guessing this is drg but each mission has multiple layers, a shop, and random upgrades

[delicate flax]

there is permadeath

i will do everything but compare rogue core to drg 2

[young vessel]

what if you could pay money to revive your character and the price increased by $0.50 for every run you complete

[grizzled surge]

hi

i realised that searching for "rouge" doesnt also search for "rougelike" at the same time so i had to go back and fix my error

[verbal pine]

rouge is a colour on its own methinks

[stray glacier]

Rogue core will have a battle pass with multiple ranks

You can pay 9.99 for the basic pass, 19.99 for the advanced pass, 39.99 for the rocky pass, or 99.99 for the Karl pass

And they all stack so the karl pass actually costs 169.96

[late scarab]

The color rogue tastes like deaf fish

[elfin ice]

I've always said the same thing!

[late scarab]

🤑

[cerulean tundra]

Okay, imma be honest…a casual cave exploration game with no enemies would be quite awesome.

[median sleet]

Need fact checkers to verify

[sly ice]

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Are you asking for people to fact check the devs uploads?

[tall plume]

this is sarcasm, yes

[hollow bear]

Unless...?

[earnest jay]

Did they say anything about how OCs would be implemented in rogue core?

Like would be available before going into a mission, gotten temporarily during a mission or just entirely gone?

Cause there's a lot of cool ones I don't want to see gone

[mossy ruin]

we didn't hear anything about OC's even existing

[grizzled pelican]

do dwarf will say rock n stone?

or rogue core :0

[tall plume]

yes

[atomic jacinth]

rogue and core

[grizzled pelican]

Core rock n rogue Stone

[atomic jacinth]

[elfin ice]

Rogue and core!

[native monolith]

What I’m hoping is it’s done like it is in survivor

After you take certain upgrades it gets added to the pool

So if you had, let’s say the thundercloud, and you take a bunch of aoe stuff, you could get the chance to get carpet bomber

But yeah currently there’s no sign or word of overclocks

[earnest jay]

yeah seems like a good way to implement them

would prefer that instead of choosing it beforehand

[worn rampart]

soo is rogue core like basicaly a more roguelike oriented drg game ?

[earnest jay]

Kinda it seems but there seems to be a lot more content also like a lot of new cool enemies, reworked class system, more weapons, and different missions.

[olive narwhal]

The pins hold the details including the stream and blog post

[hybrid mist]

Is mod support planned for rougecore ?

[raven wharf]

As rougecore is not a game, no.

[tiny beacon]

I'm sure that won't stop them

[south wigeon]

Will rogue core release for the Samsung Smart fridge?

[wary tiger]

No, but it will release for the samsung line of smart lightbulbs

[elfin ice]

Thank goodness

[thin spire]

What do you mean?

[simple cloak]

It’s too early to consider all that extra stuff, basically

[thin spire]

It will most likely be a seperate game though..

[tiny beacon]

it will in fact be a separate game

and yeah it will probably have modding support same as DRG does

[thin spire]

Does Survivor have modding support?

[raven wharf]

DRG: Survivor is not developed by GSG

[thin spire]

True, but it's still DRG

[grizzled surge]

apparently it's made in unity so it'd be even more moddable than drg
no official mod support afaik but there's nothing stopping anyone from making em, like ror2 or lethal company

[wintry cliff]

I hope it will have equipment mechanics like ror2

[last pond]

I hope it will have mechanics like video games

[atomic ruin]

watched the rogue core segment of the last 'on the horizon' and it's so peak.. i'm so excited..

[lean void]

Yeah, it's knowing that the alpha will probably come out next year that is getting me back into DRG. I am so excited for Rogue Core I will likely buy it for my friends and make them play it with me

[fringe narwhal]

Rock Core

[elfin ice]

ROCK N CORE

[stray glacier]

ROUGE IS A COLOR, ROGUE IS A GENRE

[civic juniper]

At least you know for a fact that someone's not french when they misspell "rogue"

[native monolith]

Did I hear a rouge and cœur?

[wheat pewter]

I don't know

[simple cloak]

chat does he know

[upbeat tangle]

Cue intense rivalry with the Italians over a baguette

[elfin ice]

Aliens with fish n chips innit

[frigid path]

creatures from hell

[tidal quest]

I hate to be that guy, but rogue-core was releasing summer 2025 right?

[olive narwhal]

Pins for the updated roadmap

[neat acorn]

it'll release At Some Point™️

[north heart]

Does anyone know if there are any plans to expand on the Karl lore?

[mossy ruin]

99% there aren't

[median sleet]

2 voicelines, take it or leave it

[tall plume]

it's funny 'cause probably true

[olive narwhal]

You know what if you are really lucky you might get 2 and a half voicelines

[simple cloak]

And just like that it’s 2025, getting closer to the alpha test 🙏

[median sleet]

I am only capable of being truthfull and funny

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[native monolith]

DRG has… 5, I think

So we might be lucky and get a few more

[grizzled pelican]

..

They are two..

Just with diferent pitch voice

[young vessel]

voiceLINES

[native monolith]

“For Karl!”
“That thing ate bullets like Karl drank beers.”
“Hmm… what would Karl choose?”
“WAIT… I KNOW WHERE KARL IS! ITS SO BLOODY OBVIOUS! Uh… anyone up for playing the hoop game?”
“Some say this is the kind of place where we lost Karl.”
“Some say this was Karl’s favorite place. He sure was a fungi. Get it?”

Then, for bonus, skull crusher ale description mentions them but I don’t know that quote off the top of my head

I think that’s it? Might be 1-2 more

[grizzled pelican]

[native monolith]

Oh I think there’s one along the lines of Karl’s beard

[grizzled pelican]

Nah i don't read

[native monolith]

That’s fine just don’t go spreading disinformation

[grizzled pelican]

There one more with leech

[young vessel]

5 credits say that big pinkie thing done got karl

[native monolith]

Oh also the Karl would be proud achievement I guess

But that barely counts

Oh “Karl would approve of this” when saluting with a beer

Might be around 10 then

[grizzled pelican]

But who is 5 credits

I need answe!

[young vessel]

the little guy you tip at the bar

[native monolith]

Oh wow there’s actually a ton

[young vessel]

for 5 credits

[native monolith]

Bunch were added in season 5 it looks like

This one's for Karl!"
"For Karl!"
"That thing ate bullets, like Karl drank beers!"
"We got it! Karl would be proud!"
"By Karl! Look at all that pretty sparkly...!"
"Ten credits say it was one of them tentacly things that got Karl..."
"By Karl! That is a lot of Shredders coming out of the Caretaker!"
"I'll beat your record this time, just watch me!"
"Karl's good fortune! Jet Boots!"
"Karl's beard... this place is beautiful!"
"Fancy jetboots! I call 'em the Air Karls!"
"By Karl! Crawlers are tough!"
Outside of missions:
"This one's for you, Karl!”
"Karl!"
"For Karl!"
"To Karl!"
"Karl would approve of this."
"...K...Karl? Is...is that you?"
"Wait a minute...if all truths are knowable, then all truths must in fact be known.....but by whom? ...Karl would know!"
"I......I.......I know where Karl is! It's so bloody obvious! What...uhhh....hmmm....anyone up for playing the hoop game?"
"Hmm...what Karl would choose?"
"I'm gonna wear this in honor of Karl!"
"Watch my back, Karl!"
"Karl would have approved of this!"

[olive narwhal]

Its more a question of if karl spreads to the reclaimers

[native monolith]

Yeah

I’d image it will

Because how it’s used (was used, it did kinda shift) in drg was for voiceline fillers

[native monolith]

I count 23

I’ve never heard of “air Karl’s” that is extremely goofy

[native monolith]

The thing I’m more interested in is how the reclaimers will act towards Karl, if they mention him

To the miners he’s the best guy ever

[olive narwhal]

I reckon if they are going for the more serious vibe maybe respectful in a different way a more grounded approach

[native monolith]

They might see him more as a equal, maybe

From what I’ve gathered the reclaimers seem to be higher ‘rank’ than the miners

[olive narwhal]

Thats the other way i see it being handled

[native monolith]

I mean personally I’d want better pay if that was my job

[olive narwhal]

Well the reclaimers certainly got the better equipment

[tall plume]

they're an elite combat force

they sure do

[olive narwhal]

The new and improved gk3

[proud kayak]

They got robotic hawks as well

[olive narwhal]

Im pretty excited for the new equipment and weaponry

[brisk mantle]

And the holoblade

[native monolith]

I’m wondering what the reclaimers do when drg isn’t having an crisis

That does make me wonder how many planets DRG works on

I’d image having a ship and team(s?) dedicated to literally just crisis management it’s gotta be a decent amount

[olive narwhal]

The stalker miners log entry mentions another planet so atleast 2

[tall plume]

well DRG has operations all over the galaxy so I doubt they have nothing to do

[native monolith]

Yeah, I think there might be one mentioned in another

[young vessel]

will reclaimers use pickaxe or axepick

[native monolith]

I remember seeing a “spotted across multiple planets”

[olive narwhal]

But i assume you dont get as big as drg on only 1 or 2 terrestrial boddies

[native monolith]

In a log

[native monolith]

To be fair hoxxes 4 does seem like a insanely profitable planet

[olive narwhal]

They will use the axeaxe

[native monolith]

But yeah I bet they have atleast a half dozen or so

[young vessel]

will there be an enemy faction called "Declaimers" and they yell mean things at you

[native monolith]

You wouldn’t have CRMT off of one planet probably, though hoxxes is so chaotic I still wouldn’t be surprised if that was their only major planet lmao

[olive narwhal]

I assume the initial rigs and by extension the ramrod would have had to have been funded through other expedition's

[native monolith]

That’s just any dwarf when you order leaf lover

[native monolith]

Do we have a definitive number of the amount of rigs?

It’s atleast whatever number was mentioned in that one explosion in season 4 right

[young vessel]

"At this time, we have a total of 87 ORBITAL SPACE RIGS in operation throughout more than a dozen Outer Rim systems, with 16 more currently under construction."

real

[native monolith]

I think that’s the highest we got

Well. Minus one because that rig is gone now

[native monolith]

Where is that from?

[deft trellis]

They’ll probably just build another tbh

[young vessel]

wiki.gg

[native monolith]

I know but the quote

Where’d they get it from

[young vessel]

uhhhh i dont know te hee

[olive narwhal]

I think the rig we are on in drg is rig 17

[deft trellis]

Yeah

So we can confirm at least 17 rigs

[native monolith]

We’re on 17 and I think like… 78 was the one that blew up?

[young vessel]

if theres a section on the spacerig in the miner's manual, its probably there

[native monolith]

Yeah

I mean I trust the drg wiki enough

[deft trellis]

I don’t remember them very well, but do some posters in DRG talk about their space rigs and operations?

[native monolith]

I wish we got more of those posters

I love communist propaganda esc posters

[olive narwhal]

It definitely wasn't 78

[deft trellis]

Was it 18?

[olive narwhal]

Im looking for the season log rn

[native monolith]

The only other number I can think of was 5?

My brain just brings up 78 and 5 when I think about space rigs

I’m probably just going crazy

[deft trellis]

DRG is definitely an interstellar company

[olive narwhal]

Yeah it was space rig 5

[native monolith]

NO WAY

[deft trellis]

With Hoxxes 4 being their breadbasket, on account of its sheer mineral wealth

[native monolith]

thanks recollective memory

[native monolith]

It is confirmed to be atleast 2, maybe three planets

[tiny beacon]

it's the website that says that they have like 50 or whatever

[olive narwhal]

I assume like the rest of the Mining stuff the rigs are relatively cheap

[native monolith]

But it’s certainly more

[olive narwhal]

If they are keeping with the reclaimers getting the good equipment then i assume the ramrod costs more

[tiny beacon]

'a total of 89 orbital rigs with 16 more under construction'

[native monolith]

I do really feel bad for Mission Control

[olive narwhal]

Outside of the ramrod being space ship though

[native monolith]

If we say that half the dwarves are sleeping at a given moment, and another fourth are at the rig that’s still 22 teams of dwarves

Not including various other operations like the reclaimers

And he still has the time to yell at the dwarves at the rig to get to work

[olive narwhal]

We only see one ramrod so far so unless its more than 1 team per ramrod they really expect 4 to do the job

[deft trellis]

Are dwarfs used as DRG’s main mining force company-wide, or just consistently on Hoxxes?

The website says something about that

[olive narwhal]

I assume the combat miners for more hostile enviroments

[tiny beacon]

while the star system (I think it was called creos? Someone said that once) appears to have rigs for each planet based on that season 4 dialogue, Hoxxes IV itself has just the one dedicated to it. It gets by fine and having another would probably cause conflicts of management since any communications disconnect - of which there would be plenty with all the debris and how often our scanners are out of range - would probably result in wasted manpower and equipment for not enough extra throughput to warrant it

[native monolith]

Those 4 do seem like the “nah, we’d win” type of people though

[deft trellis]

DRG is stated to be a well-known company renowned for working the outer rim

[olive narwhal]

Well hoxxes orbits a dwarf star crues or something similar

[native monolith]

Yeah, away from the empire and their evil taxe- wait other series

[olive narwhal]

So i assume star systems are named after their sun

[deft trellis]

Hoxxes is their largest operation to date, which may facilitate more then one space rig

[native monolith]

I mean we do too I think

[tiny beacon]

https://www.deeprockgalactic.com/ the ad on the site says some stuff

[native monolith]

It’s the logical thing to do when you’re discovering near infinite planets

[olive narwhal]

I think crues is a blue dwarf

[native monolith]

Hehe… dwarf star

[olive narwhal]

Definitely have diverted from rogue core a little bit though

[native monolith]

Anyways yeah back to rogue core

[tiny beacon]

it's rogue core's setting

[native monolith]

I do think it would be nice to have a better explanation for reviving

I was thinking it would be cool if when the team goes down they get teleported out

Because they’re more valuable better equipped employees

I’ve never really cared but the whole going down and just waking up in the medbay thing is odd, but it’s not meant to be related to the lore

It’s purely gameplay reasoning

[olive narwhal]

Im just treading lightly when it comes to the mods

I assume the flask might have some red sugar mixed in

[native monolith]

To be fair, drg and rogue core do take place within probably a few hundred miles of each other :P

[olive narwhal]

Yeah that is fair its not like its non related i suppose

Might matter a bit more when rogue core actually becomes playable

[deft trellis]

Yeah, the reclaimers are just deeper

Do we get a bar in rouge core, btw?

[olive narwhal]

We do atleast have toilets

I would have to look through small bits of the ramrod we got to see in the oth stream

[native monolith]

I actually do not think we have seen a bar yet

But they’re dwarves so there’s basically guaranteed to be one

[deft trellis]

I mean, how would DRG get them to work if they aren’t supplied with beer?

[olive narwhal]

Paid a living wage maybe

[native monolith]

It would be really funny if like, space macdolands pays more than drg

But the dwarves just really like mining and drinking beer

[floral vigil]

What's this chat about?

[native monolith]

Pins

[young vessel]

im more of a thumbtack guy myself

[native monolith]

True…

I wish discord had like.. header messages?

Because people do not check pins unless they are told to lmao

[stray glacier]

I hope rogue core isn't anything like drgs

I'll be honest, not the biggest fan of drgs

[olive narwhal]

Well its a different genre so i would hope so

[young vessel]

and a different team

AND a different game engine

[tall plume]

so, channel's description ?

[stray glacier]

As in i hope it has the same aesthetic as drg, because I feel like drgs is missing a lot of the aesthetic of the original which is what made it good

[olive narwhal]

Well you got a oth stream in the pins with 1 hour of rogue core goodness to consume

[deft trellis]

It seems like it does

[stray glacier]

Basically I'm just saying I dislike drg survivor's artstyle and i hope rogue core keeps the same feel as the original game

[stray glacier]

Yay

[deft trellis]

I’m really excited to see more of the ramrod. I’m hoping it’s more lived in and personal then the space rig

[native monolith]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1166496590672953428/1323684043518251049/image.png?ex=67756854&is=677416d4&hm=d6c800cfa8fe9ab89d210f396e96a692eb40bf6d9259a4b10befb35c159b0114&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=795&height=525
like a message that pops up here first time you visit a channel and can be dismissed with an x or something

because no one reads pins i guess

[native monolith]

i hope they serve glyphid omlette sandwiches

[deft trellis]

Yummers

Dwarves finally get sandwiches

[native monolith]

oh wait i did just realize rogue core does not have a channel description does it

[stray glacier]

Drg feels rugged, a bit scuffed, yet inviting and lively. It's nothing professional, just some dwarven mischief. Drgs feels like a mobile game

[native monolith]

it needs like a "Rogue Core is a roguelike inspired DRG universe game where you play as reclaimers, tasked with reclaiming the core. Check pins for more info." there

[native monolith]

it is a good feeling though

literally my only complaint about the space rig is theres not enough funny minigames

[deft trellis]

I like DRG:S. it’s not DRG, but it’s not trying to be

It’s simple and fun. Nowhere near the depth of DRG, but still good fun

[stray glacier]

Guys, the core... IT'S GONE ROGUE!
Movie title fades onto the screen

[native monolith]

but the real question on everyones mind... is the core... rouge?

[stray glacier]

If it's the core of the planet then it probably is

[deft trellis]

I think it’s just having a bad day. Give it a few minutes

[young vessel]

i'd describe planet cores more as "orange" than "rouge"

[stray glacier]

Orange in french is still orange

[native monolith]

damnit

i mean it could be uh... jaune

wait jaune is yellow right

[stray glacier]

But it's pronounced or-Ahnj instead orænj

[stray glacier]

Yeah

[native monolith]

the holy trinity of the core

rouge, orange, and jaune

[green vale]

Pardon the ignorance but, what is the motive of this room?

Update: Just read, looking forward to contributing to this room in the future.

[stray glacier]

To make fun of people that spell it rouge core

[wheat pewter]

happy new rogue core

[gusty oak]

@native monolith How to get role Cave Crawler

[native monolith]

https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682

oh, nevermind

no idea then

[final narwhal]

Has anyone seen my core?

[nimble hawk]

what if the rogue core was rouge

[potent kite]

WHATTT?!

[grizzled pelican]

What if the rogue core was a core being rogue

[nimble hawk]

what would be crazy

[native monolith]

And: just hear me out here: it’s being reclaimed

[final narwhal]

Maybe the real rogue core was the cores we rogued along the way

[olive hound]

We need the "i duct tape a c4 to an axe" class in rogue core.

[atomic jacinth]

happy rogue core year

get it? because this year is where rogue core gonna be in early access

[native monolith]

And the beta!

Truly will be a year of rogue and core

[broken flame]

Delayed until further notice...

[median sleet]

If you play on Steam, check the pins in #drg-chat

the 'interplanetary miners union' one

[median sleet]

Lootbug ate all the code

It was upset because it hadn't been confirmed to be in Rogue Core yet

[floral vigil]

You don't say

[atomic jacinth]

that's when gta 6, half life 3, or silksong gets released before rogue core

[sly ice]

Don't forget the 17th rerelease of skyrim.

[floral vigil]

Why is the core rogue

[vivid kayak]

Rogue core won’t replace drg right? Like drg will still get seasons and updates and stuff

[hollow bear]

It will still get seasons, yes

[vernal mantle]

do we have an estimated season of this year it's coming out? or where can I access the roadmap?

[median sleet]

I doubt there will be a season this year

They're not giving anymore info about new seasons untill RC is in early access IIRC

[vernal mantle]

ohh, I meant rouge core lol

like, what season (fall, spring, summer, winter) is RC likely to come out in this year?

[young vessel]

earlyu aaccesss quator four

thats like june i think

[median sleet]

roadmap in the pinned messages somewhere

[tall plume]

2026

[vernal mantle]

2026? darn... they need to update the steam roadmap, it says it was supposed to come out in early access November of last year

[tall plume]

it is updated, got updated today actually
the roadmap is in the pinned messages

[vernal mantle]

yee
I meant the one on the site

[median sleet]

The living roadmap misspells 'Hoxxes' as 'Haxxess' or as 'Hoxxess'

[weak harbor]

guys is this game gonna be bigger than GTA 6?

[simple cloak]

Realistically speaking, nop

[neat acorn]

no but it will be better anyway

[atomic jacinth]

it will be better for dwarves like us

[woeful flint]

Do we think that Rivals (aka bots) will play a role in Rogue Core, given how they have been focused on collecting data on the planet as well as some of Nemesis's deathrattle lines hinting at "things you dwarves would not believe"?

• the reason of us not encountering them as often outside S1 and S2 being them "having gone deeper into the planet"

Will we learn more of their origin and why exactly they were sent onto the planet? Will they remain hostile to DRG, or would they issue a truth to deal with the bigger threat for once?

[neat acorn]

I dont think rivals made their way to the core of hoxxes

[burnt kraken]

Dude if those mechanical bastards get to the heart of this good for nothing planet before we do I’m gonna be pissed!

[woeful flint]

As mentioned, it is implied that they might have. Not outright confirmed, but implied.

[barren belfry]

Guys One question, Is still possibile to subscribe to play the closed alpha of drg rogue core? And if i still can how can i join

[neat acorn]

no information yet

it'll be ready when it's ready

[delicate flax]

if only the closed alpha existeded

which exists quarter 2 2025

[olive hound]

You have time to be a youtuber and maybe get in the alpha, someday somehow 🤷‍♂️

[woeful flint]

Pinged the wrong person, but yeah

[cerulean shuttle]

i do wonder what the general gameplay loop will be

[young vessel]

i hope one team mate gets to go off on an adventure and ride the flying drone back to their team mates

if this isnt a feature, you WILL be receiving a formal complaint!!!!

[simple cloak]

The drone phases through you as it takes off 💀

[median sleet]

I assume content creators, current DRG playtesters, friends of developers will get priority access. Everyone else will probably get picked at random in some sort of raffle.

a trial by combat will decide who gets to play

Oh right, I totally forgot about the trial by combat

Can't believe they're renting the colosseum for that

give me rogue core or give me death

[frigid path]

Death it is

[barren belfry]

Oh ok thanks a lot, i thought i was late, luckly in not

[wheat pewter]

any cores in the rogue tonight?

[young vessel]

will you add friendly fire pickaxe

theres particles if you hit your team mates with a pickaxe at certain angles in DRG, surely theres a chance to make it a feature

[wheat pewter]

[glad sonnet]

was just browsing the channel and came across this. I have a couple of questions if thats okay. Where did you find this? I searched all across the internet and didnt come across it. Also do you think the big corespawn guy could be the "Spawnlord" from the leaked Rogue Core enemies menu?

Oh also is there more leaks like this one around anywhere?

[native monolith]

DRG newsletter

[long breach]

It literally says from gsg newsletter in the same message 😅

[native monolith]

Yeah :/

[glad sonnet]

Oh I looked up newsletter and I still couldnt find it. Maybe Im just dumb 🤷‍♂️

[long breach]

Its in emails

[glad sonnet]

Oh got it

[long breach]

The newsletter is in the form of emails

You can sign up for it but you wont get the prev issues

[glad sonnet]

Alright, well thanks for letting me know

[long breach]

Did they add the sign up link in game yet?

I dont remember atm

[native monolith]

I vaguely remember in a Dev stream they were talking about wanting to move away from that format

Because… well it has stuff like that and a lot of the community doesn’t see it unless someone else shares like pounce did

But no I don’t think it is in the game menu

[long breach]

Not the newsletter itself, just the sign up link

I remember them being asked where the link is a lot and if its in game

But forgot it theyve put it in yet or not

But the link is probably on their gsg company website

I would assume so at least

Tho i do wish the newsletter could be accessed outside of a mailing list tbf 😅

[tall plume]

IIRC, yes

[neat acorn]

damn, first (and prob last) time in my life I willingly signed up for a newsletter

drg does unspeakable things to a man

[median sleet]

Do they also send one by mail?

[wheat river]

replace the email list with an IRC, you say? Sounds good!

[rare gale]

where

i found it txs

[stray glacier]

Hey guys, the road map says that rogue core would go in early access in November of 2024

What's up with that

Also I feel like people aren't realizing that season 5 is a prelude to rogue core, so rogue core will be about those weird rifts opening up and perhaps the rogue CORE is the CORE stone?

[tall plume]

read the current roadmap in the pinned messages

[olive narwhal]

Wrong road map #rogue-core-chat message

And the store page will probably answer the other questions

[tall plume]

the pinned messages too

[olive narwhal]

Genuinely worth a read through plenty of devs own words

[stray glacier]

Is there a way I can sign up for the closed alpha playtest

[olive narwhal]

Nothing is known yet

Its still essential 3 or 4 months away since its for q2

[tall plume]

if there was, it would be pinned too

[stray glacier]

I bet the reason all the dig sites go dark is because of the rifts from the core stone, and we will need to save all the dig sites by rogueliting

[olive narwhal]

As the roadmap currently stands

[olive narwhal]

I await the day🫡

[stray glacier]

I'm honestly very glad rogue core looks just like drg because my issue with survivor is that the art style doesn't fit the ip

I hope it has synergies

I like games with synergies

[cerulean shuttle]

maaan i want to rogue my core so bad

[native monolith]

It’s because of the barrier

Which, I image the core put there because it really doesn’t want to be messed with

Unfortunately, capitalism

[stray glacier]

We dug so deep we angered the core of the fucking planet and now even the caves want us dead

[olive narwhal]

But don't worry the reclaimers get drgs finest equipment

[prime shoal]

So its uh...DRG but rogue like?

[stray glacier]

Yes

I'm pretty sure rc is like deep dives with more content

[cerulean shuttle]

the walls are talking

also there are more classes

which is really exciting

i do wonder about the voice actor though

[olive narwhal]

The same so far

[prime shoal]

As long as I get my loadouts etc to go, I am happy

My biggest pet peeve of any rogue like is the fact that after the end of a run, you start from scratch

[stray glacier]

This is a roguelite

[olive narwhal]

Well you have an 1hour of rogue core on that linked stream in the pins

[stray glacier]

Permanent progression

[olive narwhal]

Your still building your loadout as you go

[cerulean shuttle]

how is the gameplay itself though? same swarm stuff?

[mossy ruin]

well, in RC, you start the run with a pickaxe and your special class skill
then you select the first weapon and traversal in the first room (all subject to change probably)

[cerulean shuttle]

i sure hope one of thems gonna have a turret no bias

no bias here guys

[stray glacier]

It's a lot like deep rock galactic

[cerulean shuttle]

how close though

[stray glacier]

Everything is different gameplay wise

[tall plume]

pinned messages to see the trailer

[wheat pewter]

consider some roguer games than rogue core

[pure vessel]

Soon™. We'll have more info in the coming months.

[pure vessel]

Probably not in the first room, but maybe you can get it from some other crate type thing as you play 🙂

[royal axle]

seeing as drills are next to other weapons when picking one, why not put sentries there, too?

[neat acorn]

I'm lowkey hoping for some of the weapons from drg survivor

especially the fire turrets

[stray glacier]

Makes me think that turrets are most likely an obtainable "weapon" during runs, meaning there is a chance any class can have turrets

What I'm saying is full turrets army

Or it's something you unlock in the ramrod, also hype

I would know more if I would watch the whole steam but it's too long and I don't feel like it

[mossy ruin]

sentries are not traversal tools

[stray glacier]

I can already tell I will hate scorchers

Imagine a dwarf with the leadstorm minigun, the breach cutter, the grappling hook, and sentries

That will be epic

"It's almost if the core has gone wild... haywire... one might even say... ROGUE!"
Theme song plays

[olive hound]

Just give them some wheels and drive them

[median sleet]

I think I've said this before but I think it'd be cool if you could attach a weapon to your turret.

Found a lok-1 and want to switch it out for your leadstorm? Attach the leadstorm to your turret for a minigun turret!

[stray glacier]

why on earth would you switch a leadstorm for a lok1

[median sleet]

lok-1 > anything else

[stray glacier]

you should attach a lok-1 to your turret because that would be busted

[median sleet]

Maybe it just fits better with the build you're going for IDK I was just giving an example

[stray glacier]

attach breach cutter to turret

profit

attach pgl to turret

run

[median sleet]

m1k for a sniping turret

[stray glacier]

i am so excited for this game

[median sleet]

same

[stray glacier]

i hope there are new weapons

[median sleet]

I think they said there are

[stray glacier]

imagine a dwarf with sludge pump and breach cutter

putting together your own loadout out of all classes loadouts is so cool

[median sleet]

roadmap says they added more weapons in 'update 7'

[stray glacier]

i would be so mad if i got a super good loadout but i havent gotten a secondary yet, and then i get a subata

[tall plume]

in the trailer alone, you can see new weapons

not a lot but still

[stray glacier]

hurricane + pgl + c4

the demoman build

i hope you can find some sort of upgrades for your equipped weapons, that would add a whole new layer of build building

maybe add grappling hook so you can literally be demoknight

[median sleet]

shard diffractor would be insane on this

[stray glacier]

i forgot about the shard diffractor

[median sleet]

though I should stop hyping myself up for something that won't be in the game

[stray glacier]

i feel like cryocannon + shard diffractor might be good

warthog and jury rigged boomstick for the shotgun build

[stray glacier]

When trying to think of builds i keep accidentally making classes that already exist

[olive hound]

sadly, nothing is better than a good old machinegun

[tall plume]

nothing planned atm

[median yoke]

ahh ok tyy :D

[steel hearth]

I have a rogue core news addiction and I am in withdrawal

[pure vessel]

Hell yeah

[pure vessel]

In Rogue Core? No.

[fringe narwhal]

Will Overclocks be in Rogue Core? Like high level upgrades

[pure vessel]

They used to be I think, but it's kind of undecided since we took them out again.

I believe, if I remember correctly, that we DO want stuff like that in the game as upgrades, but they may as well be level ups.

It could go both ways.

But we take in on a case by case basis. For instance hyper propellant might as well be a new weapon, whereas fat boy could be a level up effect.

We do however want to have ways to upgrade current weapons and level them up, with someting cool happening at max level.

[fringe narwhal]

Oooh

Interesting

[royal axle]

Making overclocks into new weapons makes sense, another good example of that is mortar autocannon

[fringe narwhal]

Hyper prop could be turned into a small railgun maybe.

Then the drg OC effect could be levelup effect

[pure vessel]

Yeah those are good examples. It's also easier for us to make, plus, thsoe new weapons would also be able to get new cool upgrades as you play

but again, having them as overclocks could probably achieve the same thing, so it's a bit up in the air.

we do however have upgrade benches where you can upgrade damage etc.

There we'd also like to include damage type conversions, etc. to keep them specialized, and let level upgrades be general and potentially super crazy.

I think the last time I heard something about it, reaching max level with a weapon gave you a free choice of a seleciton of overclock type upgrades.

[tall plume]

I wanna try out the game so bad

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[pure vessel]

Right now we ahve left the weapon upgrade stuff a bit to the side while working a bit more on meta progression and stuff

such as the bio boosters and classes

and modifiers between stages 🙂

So basically game flow things

[native monolith]

Nice

I am very interested in the bio boosters

[royal axle]

How would level ups and switching out weapons work?
This entails a few more questions like "are you permanently stuck with weapons or can you switch them?" and "are weapons you find deeper into a run at a higher level?" and so on

[native monolith]

3 months…

Well probably more than that but that’s around when q2 starts

[pure vessel]

Level ups apply to all weapons, with few exceptions.

and you can swith them out if you find another weapon crate

Right now I think it's a random chance of higher level weapons regardless of stage. We haven't thought too much about the system yet.

The idea is you can upgrade current weapons as you go to make them higher level

[royal axle]

Ah so levels are tied to the players, not the weapons, if I understood that correctly?
nevermind, neglected to continue reading, whoops

[pure vessel]

If you don't want new weapons, you can choose support tools instead

[pure vessel]

I might be wording it weirdly.

Players can get upgrades by depositing enough expernite, which makes them "level up".

Weapons get levels as you upgrade them at weapon benches.

Weapon upgrades are usually more damage, more ammo, better handling (for now at least, this is just placeholder stuff)

player level ups are "killing an enemy makes it explode" or "the less ammo you have in the clip, the more damage you do".

So player level ups can both directly, and indirectly, affect weapons.

[royal axle]

Oh, those are seperate? That's neat!

[pure vessel]

Yes, so your player level ups are general ones

and weapon upgrades are very specific to a held weapon

at least fo rnwo

[royal axle]

I was worried about there being an excess of boring stat increases next to the specialised upgrades

[pure vessel]

We haven't yet worked too much on the weapon upgrades at the benches, but we are looking into trying to divide stuff into different pools.

[royal axle]

Are ability/class upgrades also a seperate pool?

[fringe narwhal]

Rogue Core already sounds absolute fire

Gonna pre-order it for sure

[tall plume]

thankfully, there's no "pre-order", unless you mean getting it in Early Access ?

[fringe narwhal]

Oh lol yeah

Said pre-order out of habit lol

[velvet marsh]

I'm gonna upgrade my hyper propellant pgl with the max level fat boy upgrade

Turns it into the secret dev delete tool

[fringe narwhal]

Robin Walker's rocket launcher reference

[velvet marsh]

I hope we'll be able to make a 100% crit chance build, those are my absolute favorite in any roguelite

[fringe narwhal]

Maybe with the crossbow

[velvet marsh]

I like it on fast firing weapons, like the minigun or gk2

[fringe narwhal]

Acid bolts from DRG Survivor could be neat

[velvet marsh]

especially in games that have a little ding sound effect when you do a critical? dingdingdingding 😩 👌

[fringe narwhal]

Yessss

[velvet marsh]

imagine the plasma carbine with 100% crit chance and burn status effect melting enemies in seconds

and having burn damage makes the projectiles orange instead of purple

long range flamethrower

[fringe narwhal]

Long range flammenwerfer...

[tall plume]

I mean, we already have that in DRG

20m flamer go brrrr

[native monolith]

My preorder is having 30 dollars at hand at all times

[native monolith]

Risk of rain 2 crit sound hasn’t been beaten I think… ever. I can’t think of a roguelike I’ve played that’s had a better sound than that

[velvet marsh]

ror2's sound design is magic to me, they have so many distinct satisfying sounds and even with its loud and complex soundtrack everything is clearly hearable, nothing gets drowned out

absolute cinema

[tall plume]

eh

wouldn't be the game I would give the sound design palm to

[velvet marsh]

don't you eh my gushing, it makes me feel self conscious!

[tall plume]

roboquest is also 👌

[velvet marsh]

I've been playing roboquest recently too, that game is also great

[tall plume]

you're fine, to each his own
DRG and Factorio has it beaten though IMO

[velvet marsh]

the music gets me in the flowstate so well

[olive hound]

That's a really cool one

[pure vessel]

You can go beyond 100%. It's possible 🙂

[pure vessel]

We have that too

[velvet marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-laugh-the-matrix-agent-smith-gif-4145137

[pure vessel]

Basically when you got beyond 100%, you have a chance to double crit.

So 120% would be 100% crit chance, then shuffling again for a 20% extra crit.

So 200% would be double critting, but I don't think it's likely to get that consistently

at least not from level ups only

[velvet marsh]

oh that's a really nice idea, in most games I remember crit just stops being useful after you go past 100

[olive narwhal]

I pretty sure they also mentioned critting on weakpoints

[velvet marsh]

as a random person on the internet, I highly approve of this game design decision

[olive narwhal]

Might have been a while back now though may have changed

[pure vessel]

Hitting weakpoints is not a guaranteed crit

but upgrades could have that happen I guess

[olive hound]

Megacrits let's go!

[olive narwhal]

So does weakpoint damage bonuses still exist like they do in drg or is they entirely replaced by the crit system

[pure vessel]

The weakpoint system is still there

The crit system is just a new system that's added

[olive narwhal]

So it is possible to crit on a weakpoint and by extension big damage, mostly just reconfirming what i read here a while back.

[pure vessel]

Yes

so you do weakpoint bonus and double it through crit

[olive narwhal]

Cool i imagine that getting pretty fun

[velvet marsh]

that makes sense, from what I know DRG's weakspots aren't really a crit system on themselves, it's a damage multiplier and different weakspots have different multipliers

add another damage multiplying crit system on top of that and big bang boom bob's your uncle

[pure vessel]

If your aim is not shit

[velvet marsh]

you don't have to call me out like that, how did you know m1k is my least used weapon 😭

[tall plume]

somehow, I knew you were bad at aiming

[pure vessel]

I have access to all data

[neon lance]

You could give me a Thunderhead and I still wouldn't hit anything. I feel you 🫂

My aim is foolhardy

[velvet marsh]

he has a special version of the Rock And Stone single button keyboard that's just a "Spawn Bulk Detonator" button

[pure vessel]

Every time a programmer has to fix my code, a Bulk Detonator is born

[wheat river]

Yes but it looks like a regular keyboard with the amount of spawn bulk detonator buttons

[long breach]

Or make the most horrid combination of warnings repeatedly show up

[tall plume]

that's a lot of mistakes

[neon lance]

But what if that code was to fix the spawn rate?

Oh no

[fringe narwhal]

Will there be a bulk detonator equivalent in Rogue Core?

[pure vessel]

There used to be. Sort of.

I’m very concerned about the rafkan augmenter spawner

[stray glacier]

What's that

[native monolith]

One second

When they spawned things in the showcase, this is the menu that was pulled up

[stray glacier]

What's a rafkan

[native monolith]

Those are the flying shark guys

[stray glacier]

I am NOT keeping up with this game's development

Lmao

[native monolith]

I would watch the enemy section of the showcase stream

It has some really cool stuff that’s shown

[stray glacier]

Doesn't this undeniably confirm that the core stone is going to play a big part in rogue core?

This and the fact that season 5 is a prelude to rogue core

[native monolith]

I feel like it’s pretty obvious that the answer to that is yes

[tall plume]

it was never hidden that the Core Stone are tied to Rogue Core

[native monolith]

I mean the devs literally said it was

[stray glacier]

Yes

[native monolith]

Anyways back to the augmenter

[stray glacier]

In that case it's the violet core

[stray glacier]

This joke has so many layers

[native monolith]

I’m scared of a unit that is probably buffing (augmenting) other units that is also spawned from a spawner unit

Like if the brood nexus spawned mini wardens

Obviously that’s just a theory but still

[stray glacier]

What about the thing called a BOOMTICK

[native monolith]

Solution to all problem: nuclear bomb

[stray glacier]

__BOOM__TICK

Even worse,
Boom__TICK__

[mossy ruin]

it could be that the enemy is called a rafkan augumentator, but it's additionally noted that this enemy spawns other enemies

[native monolith]

I think that notation implies it’s spawned

[mossy ruin]

oh wait no, a rafkan augumentator is also in disruptive

so you are right

[native monolith]

Yeah

[stray glacier]

There is one thing I'm very concerned about

SPIDER EXPLODER TANK GHOST CORRUPTED

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

[native monolith]

Okay so

[stray glacier]

The corrupted exploding spider ghost tank

[native monolith]

In drg, (ive still yet to check it) im pretty sure that the bulk detonator is “spider exploder tank” and the ghost just has ghost on the end

Combined with the fact that we just saw anders say yes to their being a bulk detonator equivalent in the game, im pretty sure we can assume that’s the unknown horror

…and it has corrupted at the end… which might be the core

It might just have the same name because it was imported as a base though? I really don’t know their design process so I can’t say

[stray glacier]

Great, so unknown horror is now corrupted by the vengeful soul of the planet

Great

[native monolith]

Kinda want make a doc including everything we know about rogue core

Community project we could do

[tall plume]

that'd be nice

everything tucked into one doc

[olive hound]

1.- The core is rogue.

[native monolith]

2.- All attempts to contact it have failed.

[olive hound]

3.- The Reclaimers are Dwarves.

[native monolith]

4.- They probably drink beer.

[stray glacier]

I really hope this game has beer

Because if not then that's 2 drg games in a row without beer

[tall plume]

it has beer

[stray glacier]

Yay

Where do you guys find all this stuff

[tall plume]

there's a bar in the ramrod, from what we've seen

or at least something that looks like one

[stray glacier]

What if there actually is progress that crosses over from original drg, but it is only the beers unlocked and nothing else

To piss off some people

[glacial dust]

Do we know when early access will come out? They said sometime in 2025 right?

[olive hound]

Pinned message it's the roadmap bud

[glacial dust]

Thank you!

[stray glacier]

There is rogue in the core!

It's a rogue core!

[elfin ice]

rogues?! cores?!?! i don't even know any mores!

rogue and core!

[forest rain]

But is the rogue core how we get our matrix cores?

Hope we do still get Overclocks in Rogue Core once we invest in enough upgrades for a single weapon, like in drgs

Just not locked away.

[tiny cloud]

semi-randomish question about Rogue Core, will it have non pick axe melee weapons in addition to the guns? A friend of mine likes the DRG concept but wants to smash the bugs with a hammer or something like that, not just be stuck shooting all the time between occasional power attacks, I did look through things but didn't see much/anything on what types of tools for killing monsters we'd have beyond guns?

[forest rain]

One of the classes has a beam sword

[tiny cloud]

Yeah, Slicer, but that's a power/cooldown not so much a weapon and runs into the same power attack cooldown issue

[upbeat tangle]

DRG is a shooter, not a melee game. I suspect rogue core will be somewhat similar in that respect

TBH I’m tired of shooters making melee better than guns

I don’t love that in Halo it is more effective to just punch enemies into oblivion than to actually shoot them with your assault rifle

[pure vessel]

There used to be. It's no longer in the game.

[pure vessel]

We don't have one, no.

If we did it would likely replace the pickaxe, so function a bit of the same, so it won't be an actual weapon on par with guns, but more of a different pickaxe type? Axes and hammers would work fine as mining tools I guess.

The reason we don't want to add Melee weapons, like in Vermintide 2, is because it requires enemies that makes sense for melee and gameplay that's more interesting than just left-clicking. Doing Melee combat can be very complex with our current shooter gameplay, so we focus on the shooting part instead.

However, we do have level upgrades that allow you to make melee (pickaxe) builds, and a class ability that is a beam sword slash.

[sacred depot]

You are true trendsetters for Elden Ring devs who decided to make roguelike spin-off of the base game! Congratulations and I can't wait for more gameplay reveals 🤑

Will there be a shotgun pickaxe combo in rogue core?

Or even a rifle sized rotary gun drill thing?

[paper schooner]

What do you mean by combo?

[upbeat tangle]

As in a combination gun

Take your shotgun and switch the grip to use it as a pickaxe

It has a pickaxe blade attached to the muzzle

[young vessel]

i think it'd work better if you put a shotgun shell inside the pickaxe blade like they do with sledgehammers

[paper schooner]

Ah, no. No plans for stuff like that.

tuesday

i dont know which tuesday

[tall plume]

no, it's thursday

don't know which one either though

[wheat pewter]

haha you seem to be confused

it's called a joke

I don't know who edited my message but it's no joking matter

again

[young vessel]

looks like your messages are going............................ rogue

[fringe narwhal]

He he he ha

[upbeat tangle]

Your mother is going rogue

[wheat pewter]

this is a no joking matter moment

[worn rampart]

is rogue core gonna have really extensive graphics or is it managed in perfomance

just in case for not so great pcs

[warped lake]

gonna have the longest graphics in the business, baby

[upbeat tangle]

I do not know anything for sure, but I expect rogue core will have graphics similar to DRG. Polygons are expensive, and DRG current style is cool without having an excessive number of polygons.

I always love it when games look nice without high poly

DRG is one of those games

[olive narwhal]

Rogue core should run better in the particles department since base drgs particles were kinda a mess see #rogue-core-chat message

[wheat pewter]

it will use ue5, which is infamously bad in terms of performance, if they use its fancy lighting features we are shit or of luck tbh

[tiny beacon]

as I understand there are a good few games that use ue5 without performance issues

if I had to guess, albeit as someone who doesn't have experience with the programming myself, the optimization methods likely differ between the two and developers are not yet used to that, so games on stricter time constraints are going out without them having time to fix it

though also a lot of newer 'fancy lighting features' now are unstable no matter what you're running them on and also remain redundant behind older methods that accomplish the same things

[olive narwhal]

I think they a fixing drgs particles system so that should hopefully be a improvement

Ideally drgs low poly art direction will work in its favour

The best chance to get an idea of how rogue core will run on a variety of hardware will be the closed alpha

I hoping it does alright despite the jump to ue5

[sand vale]

every single time fortnite has to do particles it shits itself lmao (only game i know ive played on ue5)

[olive narwhal]

Waiting and seeing based on the gsg dispatch

But i suppose i should remain cautiously optimistic in that department

[paper schooner]

We tried the fancy lighting and it didn't give good results in the caves. We might use it on the Ramrod though. Maybe.

However the DRG minimum specs are very low and old and will probably be raised for RC.

[delicate flax]

i really want more pictures or a video of the ramrod

even unfinished it looked so cool

[cerulean shuttle]

i wanna see more of actually shooting enemies

[tiny beacon]

like enemies that shoot or us shooting them

[chrome basin]

how is that no one asked if karl was going to be in the game??

[tiny beacon]

why would he be

it's been asked though not answered whether he'll be mentioned but he won't be there in person or anything of the sort

[fringe narwhal]

Maybe the real Karl were the friends we made along the way

[wheat pewter]

I can assure you that base level questions have already been asked

[pure vessel]

They have. Many times.

[hollow bear]

Will Karl be in Rogue Core?

[tall plume]

morning Anders, Skoozle

[hollow bear]

(+1)

[pure vessel]

Afternoon 🙂

it's 1pm here

[tall plume]

ah yeah right, we're past noon

[pure vessel]

s gday

[tall plume]

I forgot already

afternoon

[pure vessel]

He's not even in DRG

or she? Karl is unisex

Wait who's Karl?

[velvet marsh]

They're a figment of the dwarves imagination

[olive hound]

Karl the formless?

[velvet marsh]

Everyone always asks where is Karl, who is Karl, but no one ever asks how is Karl 😔

[tall plume]

dead ?

[median sleet]

Karl lives on in our hearts

That's why I drink so much beer, to keep Karl happy

[fringe narwhal]

Karl is the dwarven collective

[pure vessel]

[fringe narwhal]

I am genious

[hollow bear]

Hope it's not contagious

[fringe narwhal]

Silly, I drain intelligence

[tiny beacon]

finally, the true workers' union

Hoxxes would do that, consider all of them one organism and then make it as such

[frigid path]

What if Karl was the typos we made along the way?

[cerulean shuttle]

will karl be in rogue core 2

[tiny beacon]

roguer core

[frigid path]

Rogue Karl

[cerulean shuttle]

will cores be in rogue karl

[native monolith]

Maybe. Still, I hope Carl is in rouge core

[velvet marsh]

Karl is the secret boss

There will be a silly potion salesman called Carl but he's totally unrelated

And a funky robot named K.A.R.L that does nothing but make dad jokes when you click on it

[native monolith]

Honestly I’d be happy with just a few voice lines like drg has

[pine skiff]

But WHY is Karl?

[upbeat tangle]

Guys I figured out what happened to Karl.
When is Karl?
He time traveled and now nobody knows when he is.

[native monolith]

oh, didnt catch this reply. Thanks for clarifying, that one enemy was taking up wayyy too much space in my brain xD

[native monolith]

hey, fellow Rogue Core enthusiast: I thought it would be a fun community project to make a doc containing all the stuff we know about rogue core, so I went ahead and started one. Only thing I've done so far is enemies.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vJ4OwO-wEVNvLNXCuXjV1W9ZeUv5ZaDDyZqeTii_s6E/edit?usp=sharing

its currently on commenting for everyone, but if you want edit access just ask. Don't think we have any leaf lovers here. Any help is appreciated, but make sure theories are correctly deemed as such

[upbeat tangle]

I suggest going over to the wiki chat room

Folks over there prob more likely to help

[native monolith]

good idea

[chrome basin]

If karl ins't fighting some eldritch abomination in the very center of the planet he maybe never existed in the first place

[native monolith]

I kinda don’t want Karl to show up at this point

I like them as a folk hero

[native monolith]

Doc now has a ton of stream timestamps provided by @silk dome, so there’s plenty of info to break down

[young vessel]

will rogue core have slugs and/or snails? its a very common request

[verbal wolf]

If you collect all 198 snails, you get a secret Ser Pounce boss fight.

[stray glacier]

Which is the exact same as the regular boss fight except he is slightly faster and has more health

[oak locust]

Wait so what's this game about? I watched the trailer, seems like DRG but... deeper. Do we know if there's still a class system?

[olive narwhal]

Pins

[verbal wolf]

Deeper Rock Galactic.

[olive narwhal]

And this document

[native monolith]

which is wip, only enemies is done now

[delicate flax]

oh yeah I would like to see that the multiplayer system has a better start than drg's

drg's multiplayer system is so archaic and having any high ping used to make certain weapons not even work and make it difficult to move around

[vital shale]

Is the game going to be free

And why did they have to make a whole gsme why couldnt they just added the rogue core to deeprock as an game mode

That is different from the normal missions

[olive narwhal]

The pins answer both of those

[vital shale]

Where

[olive narwhal]

The 3rd pin answers your second question the 1st is answered on the store page

The 2nd question being extremely common

[vital shale]

I couldnt find the part where they say is it free

Or not

[olive narwhal]

Its not

The store page is in the pins if you wanna give it a look

[vital shale]

Aww man

[tiny beacon]

single purchase is way better for the consumers than a free to play

[median sleet]

I'd rather pay 9.99$ for 14 000 KarlKoins so I can buy a revive when I die.

[tiny beacon]

[median sleet]

Maybe throw some adds in too

Port it to smartphones

[stray glacier]

Imagine you're face to face with a crassus detonator and you get an ad for lip balm

Oh wait rogue core

Imagine you're face to face with a huge corespawn swarm and you get an ad for lip balm

[stray glacier]

what classes do we know of? in the stream i saw slicer and falconeer, did i miss any

[mossy ruin]

that was the extent of what was shown

[stray glacier]

the sword attack does crazy damage

[mossy ruin]

we do know names of the other ones though

[stray glacier]

i saw like 1000 damage from the slice

[tall plume]

yeah

[stray glacier]

i think it was from a critical hit because of the font

i believe the actual damage of it is more like 800

i should add this in the doc

[tall plume]

the other damage showing was 500 IIRC

shouldn't be hard to spot on the video

[stray glacier]

im adding what i know to the clases part of the doc

since its completely empty

[stray glacier]

what are the other's names?

actually nvm i dont know how to use docs

[mossy ruin]

slicer, falconeer, guardian, spotter, gorgon

[mossy ruin]

you probbaly don't have the rights to edit it

but you can probably comment

[stray glacier]

My guess is spotter has some sort of ability to see all enemies even behind walls, and maybe point them out like a marked for death thing

Guardian has a shield or something

And the gorgon just gorgons

[mossy ruin]

you probably shouldn't throw in personal speculation into that doc

[stray glacier]

Of course I wont

Once the game releases are they going to be adding more classes

[tall plume]

they said it was a possibility, yeah

[stray glacier]

I want a demolitionist class

The ability is just a grenade launcher

[native monolith]

That sounds more like a weapon

[stray glacier]

Slicer has a sword

[native monolith]

Well yeah but a grenade launcher could just be the PGL

[stray glacier]

Anyways its not like a grenade launcher, more like an arm mounted recharging explosive cannon

Like a pgl loaded with c4

This is also a good opportunity for a medic class

Every 1.5 minutes your ability recharges which lets you revive one person immediately

[tall plume]

please no

[stray glacier]

Possibly less time actually, because it's competing with big sword

[tall plume]

keep the medic class for PvP

[young vessel]

but imagine if the drone dude could revive anyone from any distance

[grizzled pelican]

Why you need medic class when you health a dwarf it's 5% haz 5 if he have less you kill him and revive him

[grizzled pelican]

Like bosco

[stray glacier]

ah yes, engish

[grizzled pelican]

Oh right we are in the wrong chat

Rogue core

[stray glacier]

me when you health a dwarf its 5%

[random tusk]

hi

is there somewhere to claim to particpate at the alpha ?

[tall plume]

not currently, no

the alpha testing isn't set up yet, it'll come around in Q2

[random tusk]

ty for your reactivity

[stray glacier]

will we be able to pet the robots in rogue core?

if we cant im not buying it

[cerulean shuttle]

will we be able to pet fellow dwarves in rogue core

[tiny beacon]

when will we be able to pet the ramrod in rogue core

[worn rampart]

so is the deposit a drone ?

and can fly fast ?

molly is getting replaced

[tiny beacon]

mobile processing too

I don't think nitra is in play and it seemingly lacks the capacity to bring back nitra and gold and whatnot

[pine skiff]

Gold will still be in the game, but your dwarf just says "this is worthless" and leaves the chunks on the ground

[tiny beacon]

"Wish we had someone to carry all these minerals back"

[glossy heath]

Will there be an option to influence the chances of something specific dropping? For example, can I choose an ability before the match that increases the chances of getting a weapon with an electric damage type?

[mossy ruin]

we don't know

this idea seems sensible on paper
however, only in single player, because if there are 4 players with different such perks, then they are competing with each other

[tall plume]

it makes sense in something like Roboquest, when you have, at most, 2 players and the loot is different for everyone

not sure it would work in co-op with everyone picking from the same pool, for the reason Debbie mentioned

[native monolith]

I would image if they're taking influence from roboquest there will probably be unique upgrades for the classes abilities, but yeah with the shared pool im wondering how it would work

maybe in the bio boosters?

it could work without them if they leave room for upgrading to also improve your class stuff (slicer benefits from melee ups, falconeer from debuffs and shock ups) but i think upgrading your class stuff is one of the coolest things in roguelikes

[olive narwhal]

Its a pretty big part of roboquests progression

[native monolith]

slicer could have an upgrade that reduces damage a ton but makes you shoot out the laser beam, falconeer could have an upgrade to shoot out another shock drone but recharge is longer

[native monolith]

i think its basically guaranteed to be in the game..? its confirmed theyre going for the roguelike feel of having an insane build at times that lets you obliterate enemies super easily, and id image class stuff would be a part of that

[olive narwhal]

I imagine it would be

[native monolith]

im guessing it has to the bio boosters

[olive narwhal]

Thats what i think to

[native monolith]

so you can take stat ups but also ability upgrades might show up

[olive narwhal]

The expinite stuff seems less specific
