[olive narwhal]

Since offical rogue core mod support is a bit too far away to say

[fringe narwhal]

Probably a little difficult

[delicate flax]

I hope the gsg devs have better modding support for rc even if iits far away

although that's probably been talked about

a lot

[fringe narwhal]

I played DRG on Steam Deck when my PC died. And it did struggle in some areas. But mostly stayed around a stable 50 fps

So I don't know how much more demanding Rogue Core is

[median sleet]

It'll also depend on what difficulty you play at

[fringe narwhal]

But if it's anything like DRG it'll run atleast okay

[fringe narwhal]

Aye

[median sleet]

DRG haz 3 on steam deck is fine, haz 5+ = no fps

[fringe narwhal]

With haz 4 I sometimes had frame drops during swarms

Also recommend headphones because the Steam Deck fan is loud

[median sleet]

I think there were 2 types of fans in the steam deck, and 1 type was a lot louder than the other

[fringe narwhal]

That would explain it lol

I got mine about 7 months after it dropped

[pure vessel]

Dedotated wam!?

[olive narwhal]

Maybe wont be sure for a few months still

[pure vessel]

It likely won't go the same way as for DRG, since we've gotten more experienced and probably would explore more options.

However it's not a priority for Rogue Core until after we release.

[wheat river]

My dishwasher has more ram than a series s

[olive narwhal]

Idk if that says more about your dishwasher or the seires s

[cerulean shuttle]

is the broken hardhat gonna be an obtainable hat

this is very important

[delicate flax]

can your dishwasher run crysis

[fickle abyss]

perfect modding support with mint

[fringe narwhal]

Poggers

[leaden forum]

ll Rogue core be available on console?

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[leaden forum]

ty

It will come out in beta I guess or something like that then

or directly 1.0

[tall plume]

early access at the end of 2025

1.0 coling we don't know when

[leaden forum]

damn so late i think ty

[cerulean shuttle]

ahh i can't wait that long

[fringe narwhal]

Go into cryosleep

[cerulean shuttle]

i wanna see an unmodified subata 312 / stubby in rogue core pwease developers :33

[final narwhal]

Got my hopes up for a early access release but lunar new years is nice too

[wicked anvil]

I can't wait for Rogue core early access. I have a potentially unhealthy obsession with DRG, and my friend already said he'd play it with me

Also, here's to the devs! From a company being shut down, to over 10 million copies of their first game being sold! Thank you for giving us all a game where we can get up to drunken dwarf shenanigans.

[tranquil python]

how expensive is it gonna be?

[median sleet]

We don't know the exact price yet. I think they did say it'd be cheaper during early access.

If I had to guess the price, it'll probably be close to DRG

[tranquil python]

so like 30?

also is there somewhere i can sign up for the early access?

[median sleet]

That's what I'd guess

[median sleet]

No

[tranquil python]

oh

[median sleet]

Also I think you mean closed alpha

[median sleet]

Closed alpha will allow a small amount of people to play the game. IIRC it'll happen in Q2. There is no way to sign up for closed alpha yet.

Early access will release on Steam in Q4, everyone will be able to purchase it and play it.

[tranquil python]

oooh

[median sleet]

There's a lot of info in the pins of this channel, if you're looking for more info.

[neat acorn]

Im still a believer in closed alpha being decided by a trial of combat

Gladiator Sports Games

[median sleet]

Actually, they'll host another DRG:S esports event

[neat acorn]

lol

[cerulean shuttle]

are we getting krakatoa sentinel in drg rogue core or am i gonna have to cry in the shower tonight

[neat acorn]

😔

we can cry together (in separate showers)

[south brook]

how different is rogue core from base drg besides it being a rogue like

like is it basically just the same game but you get upgrades and stuff as you go or does it have entirely different mission progression

[tall plume]

ever played something like roboquest?

[south brook]

think i have it in a steam family but i havent played it yet

the only rogue game ive played a lot of was gungeon

[tall plume]

Well, it's going to be extremely reductive (because they're extremely different) but imagine a game like Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn, except it has the setting and ambiance of DRG.

Rogue Core is likely to feel familiar to DRG while still being extremely different.

[south brook]

i see it

[tall plume]

mechanics, gameplay, gun feel, all of that might be both familiar and different. It's hard to have a clear idea of how different or similar it will be until we finally get our hands on it, really

[south brook]

yea

looks fun tho

[tall plume]

it does

[south wigeon]

I'm just so excited to see all the new weapons. It being a rogue lite openes endless possibilities.

[tall plume]

same

the new classes too

[south brook]

o yea i was gonna ask about classes

cus i didnt know if it would be the main 4 or if it would be like a mix and match

[tall plume]

neither, we're getting multiple new classes (and more than 4 too)

[final narwhal]

More then the teased 5?

5 already seems like alot for early access let alone an alpha test

[tall plume]

dunno, but 5 is more than 4

[south brook]

cool

[elfin ice]

I have done the math and I can confirm that 5 is greater than 4

[wicked anvil]

dear god you're a genious, how much smart stout did you have?

[elfin ice]

too much! 😭

[wicked anvil]

at least it doesn't last long, the intelligence. I much prefer being a bumbling idiot with a pickaxe

[dusty laurel]

any more recent play sneek peeks on progress of the game. something juicy?

[delicate flax]

i want more ramrod clips

[fast oak]

Sorry for the question, but, what is this?

[final narwhal]

Rogue Core is an in development spinoff(sequel?) of deep rock galactic
It's a rougelite shooter

[final narwhal]

So basically
Roboquest but deep rock

[fast oak]

Ohhh

Thx

[fast oak]

It is on steam, right?

But... It seems that it has not come out yet

So you know when will it come out?

[final narwhal]

There's a closed alpha in Q2 and I think it releases Q4 into early access

No definitive dates yet afaik

[gritty raptor]

do we know if lootbugs are making a return

[final narwhal]

A dev said a year ago that there aren't any but that might have changed

[long breach]

Iirc a dev made an expenite lootbug

[south wigeon]

I wonder what the personality of each class will be like.
I know Rogue Core will be more serious, but then again...they're dwarves. Even an elite squad like the Requisition Team must partake in some Dwarven antics.

[orchid berry]

i mean, for all we know drg's elites is just a normal team of dwarves with an extra 20 credits in their team budget

[south wigeon]

Maybe the extra budget goes to supplying plenty of Smart Stout for each mission.

[orchid berry]

Will Lloyd be appearing in rogue core

I don't think the dwarves can survive long without him

[cerulean shuttle]

no they're killing lloyd in rogue core

core part of the story

[orchid berry]

Damn

By firing squad or something else

[cerulean shuttle]

glyphid dreadnought 2

[forest rain]

https://www.reddit.com/r/RogueCore/s/eOf2O4GLfC

I love him so much

[pure vessel]

We currently have 5

[olive hound]

Underground Roboquest kinda.

But with Dwarves

[cerulean shuttle]

the engineer should appear on the class selection screen or whatever

but you just can't click him

whenever you move the mouse over the engineer the icon moves just out of range

[hollow bear]

25% more than DRG! WOW!

[native monolith]

I believe they said somewhere that they were working on drafts for 2 more

And with the way the system works there will presumably be even more because of how much easier they are to make than drg classes

[tall plume]

it's also the best time to make them

before any cosmetic or things like that

[delicate flax]

if drg rogue core doesn't have my long range flamer i am instantly refunding the game

[cerulean shuttle]

that's 25% more drg per drg

order now and we can add 25% MORE drg to your drg

call 1-800-555-DRG now

[final narwhal]

Yo dog I heard you like drg so I put some drg in your drg

[sullen topaz]

i do hope theres a good amount of interesting upgrade

what we saw earlier (admittedly a long while ago) were kinda just stat ups... mostly

some of that is nice, but not all of it yknow

risk of rain had a clever idea by having its white, most common, items be mostly general stat ups or effects that effectively are a sort of stat up or damage up, while its rarer items did weirder effects

its not necessarily correct to do it that way, but it has advantages

porting a similar ish system over to rogue core would be nice
i wouldnt port it 1 to 1 for sure though

[olive hound]

Like the Flame Revolver from KF?

[delicate flax]

no the flamethrower from drg with 30 meters of range

[olive hound]

Der Flammenwerfer

[pine skiff]

The KF flamethrower also had a very long range, it just also shot projectiles in an arc for some reason

[tall plume]

what we saw was mostly placeholders and we saw like 2-3 screens, one of them already showing some cool possible stuff (those blue drills looked interesting) so I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of cool upgrades to go around 👀

[final narwhal]

Would be cool to have on fire effects like every x shots shoot a fireball that explodes for 200% damage

I could partake in some real shenanigans

[olive hound]

Maybe enemies will have mutators too

Affixes*

[native monolith]

yo

since when has this rogue core roadmap been in the steam?

tons of stuff here that i have not seen

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

actually not a significant amount we didnt know but the idea of starting weapons is new i think

pretty sure thats additional evidence for the blue pistol being a generic starting weapon

[earnest fulcrum]

I hope they use the older design for the abyss bar in rogue core

It’s like it’s own room and a full bar restaurant instead of just an outcropping with the bar in it

[tall plume]

since always IIRC

well maybe not always, but at least a while now

[native monolith]

im just blind i guess

not a new development

after doing some digging im now 99% certain that the weapon in the OTH showcase is the charge blaster

i know for a fact that in a few sections its it

but in the enemy section it has a beefier model but a lot of the same features

like this one? 100%

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1333945211373621248/image.png?ex=679abcc9&is=67996b49&hm=97b73dd6d0ff9a24b037ca397eb75152e94be9d10502690f01593446e106178f&
compared to this one? Ehhhhhh... its like so close to being able to call it a remodel but also it does exactly what the below the deck says it does

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1333945912741072927/image.png?ex=679abd71&is=67996bf1&hm=a169101dcaf830e5c4e3d6362654c1470e04dbd919dc9b2df1f161d7bfa95176&
heres the concept art im basing this on

also i am now full conspiracy theory but i think theres an auto shotgun

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1333946927745728563/image.png?ex=679abe63&is=67996ce3&hm=64c6e782b9fd16f5ed57dcef13d135227f711dfab56d219523596444b2c340b5&
ok so - this is obviously a remodeled Gk2, but its not a gk2; theres no shoulder guard, the barrel looks a little different, and there seems to be a pump

[steel hearth]

gk3

[native monolith]

speaking of the gk2

hold on lemme find the screenshot for this one

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1333948325082300417/image.png?ex=679abfb0&is=67996e30&hm=21491a2be09358f957bb5239381b38490f08c72862d9cd63fce807e92c36757b&
theres this blue thing at the base of this gun, and its not a part of the skin from what i can tell

some sort of upgrade or addon?

im not farmiliar with all of the skins in drg though, so someone correct me if that is normal

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1166496590672953428/1333949015200497666/image.png?ex=679ac054&is=67996ed4&hm=76b703b73026677e75f90100b83254419db3cecd26f7d1386e33f1a82db681d3&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=567&height=642
anyone got any idea what this guy is holding here

[dense dawn]

What is the game even about

And is it gonna release soon

(Rogue core)

[olive narwhal]

Pins

[upbeat tangle]

It looks like warthog to me, but it’s hard to see

[native monolith]

That’s the most likely candidate I think

Which would confirm warthog

[torpid sundial]

Is rouge core gunna kill drg

[wheat pewter]

no

[south wigeon]

Is rogue core gunna kill me?

[carmine zenith]

Yes, if you let it

[final narwhal]

Is rogue core an instrument?

[wheat pewter]

gunna

[pine skiff]

Is rogue core gunna kill time?

[wheat pewter]

I don't know but I made the game designer consider renaming it to Rogued Core

[median sleet]

It's been there since the the game got announced, but it got updated after that stream a while ago. It keeps misspelling Hoxxes

[cerulean shuttle]

haxxess

[native monolith]

Hoaxes (it’s all a lie)

[deep prawn]

hexxes (cursed by evil Karl)

[wicked anvil]

dear god... are the geese Canadian?

[muted sorrel]

Is the core gonna be edible?

Like candy

Jawbreaker core

(:

[fringe narwhal]

What if the ommoran heartstones are just baby cores. And John Rogue Core is big heartstome

[frigid path]

[wanton bane]

Could be worse. Could be French Canadian

[zenith rock]

Rogue core got me feeling the same way with waiting for silksong

[south wigeon]

Wasn't silk song announced like 5 years ago? Rogue Core was announced about a year ago, and it's an entire game. It'll take a bit of time.

[neat acorn]

I doubt we'll need clown makeup here. Let them cook

[orchid berry]

when rogue core finally releases i wanna see gsg change the title page to rouge core for april fools and see if anyone notices

[mossy ruin]

don't even dare compare GSG's way of communication and sharing the developement process to the fans with Team Cherry's
for Rogue Core we have some dates to go by for alpha and early access release, we had a stream showcasing a lot of stuff, there's a newsletter, devs coming into this channel to casually talk about the game (or inviting game artists to stream)
meanwhile, for Silksong we have... yeah, it exists

[native monolith]

As I’ve been making the doc I’ve found we already have like double the info on rogue core then the stuff for silksong

And it’s been a month or so

Silksong has been half a decade

Quite the improvement in sneaks peeks to time ratio, and we also have a release date :P

[median sleet]

Are the old screenshots from the steam page saved somewhere?

[native monolith]

The document of tasty tasty deets

[cerulean shuttle]

i love rogue core like i love my coffee

err existing

[native monolith]

I like my rogue core like I like my coffee

Extremely addicting

[olive narwhal]

18th of February is the next rogue core questions and answers stream

But the other streams may have some info regardless and are a pretty good time

[native monolith]

Yeah I’ve been getting a couple tidbits here and there

Currently there’s 6 new weapons in rogue core, I got that in todays stream

Field blaster, shock blaster, charge blaster, and then we got 3 unshown ones…

Oh also that one blue pistol we see everywhere

[young vessel]

i hope the blasters arent placeholder names

[olive narwhal]

I excited to see what gets created when the restrictions of classes are removed

[native monolith]

I would somewhat image so

I wonder if one of the ones they’re working on is the cursed gk3

[olive narwhal]

Skipping three and going straight to 4

Three doesn't exist in games its forbidden

[native monolith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1334551373991247923/image0.jpg?ex=679cf152&is=679b9fd2&hm=b72282146c11e5b16f2434f0caec8d38b7fcc385085fc3bc71d1cbb173b9ac02&
like someone went and remodeled this gk2

It’s not a gk2 anymore

[olive narwhal]

Gk4

[young vessel]

it doesnt have a stock, it must be a G40k

[native monolith]

It has a pump too

[olive narwhal]

It shoots m1k rounds at gk2 speeds

[young vessel]

WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uh i meant the new guns not the blue pistol

[native monolith]

Read the below the decks

The charge blaster is the weapon used in the on the horizon showcase

I think

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

[wicked anvil]

To be honest, I didn’t even know that this game was gonna be a thing until my college friend told me about it. He said that there wad gonna be a Deep Rock rogue like, and at first I thought he meant survivor lol. But I’m now super eager for early access to release so I can play with him.

[alpine oar]

Rouge cores guns I hope will be a good mix of straightforward and gimmicky

I love gimmicky guns

[alpine oar]

Double French.

[native monolith]

Rouge le cœur

[vagrant scaffold]

Pour Rouge et Cœur!

[steel hearth]

I don't think that's a pump

GK2 always has that hand grippy part

[tall plume]

looks like a placeholder model for either another weapon or a bug with many models stacled in one place

I see GK2, PGL and maybe warthog in there

I'm gonna bet on placeholder

[fringe narwhal]

The GKB

Don't rearrange the letters

[native monolith]

It’s not normally wood though

[native monolith]

That’s true, might be overlap

Or just some sort of Frankenstein

Whatever it is it’s definitely a placeholder

[steel hearth]

looks like base gk2 with different paintjob and missing stock

[trim pelican]

wasn't there a gif/clip of some sort of floating enemy from rogue core recently?

Also, i home there's at least some cross pollination of enemies from rogue core making appearances in deep rock

[native monolith]

The rafkan thrasher?

If so it’s linked in the doc

[trim pelican]

the doc?

[native monolith]

Nah. They’ve said that it won’t happen, outside of the crawler

[native monolith]

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

[native monolith]

It makes sense as it will allow them to create unique enemy palettes, crossing them would be pretty difficult without feeling weird

The crawlers already feel so different to fight

[trim pelican]

yeah, they're great

[native monolith]

Though, I would accept the corestone event maybe getting the belcher and the creepers after rogue core releases. That might be cool

[trim pelican]

since they do seem to seem to have connected seasons (two rival seasons, two rockpox seasons) i expect at least one, maybe two more corespawn to show up in season 6

[native monolith]

We have no idea what it’ll be about but tbh I kinda hope they drop the double batch season thing

Season 2 and 4, in my opinion, weren’t as cool as 1 and 3

And 5 was better than all of them

[fringe narwhal]

I joined when season 2 started, so I'm a little biased

[trim pelican]

how does one get into early access? i wasn't around when DRG did it's early access

[young vessel]

its too early for early access... 😔

[trim pelican]

well yeah, they said late 2025, but i really want to get in on it

[fringe narwhal]

Earlier access when

[carmine zenith]

After earliest access

[native monolith]

Stay tuned

[final narwhal]

I really hope I get into early access
Big fan of roguelites

[native monolith]

If I don’t get in, I will be staging a raid on GSG headquarters and sneaking rogue core onto a thumb drive

I’ll just tell them im DWEA or something

[fringe narwhal]

Rogue corn

[final narwhal]

Rough cord

[glossy fractal]

I hope Rogue Core will rock

[final narwhal]

I hope it will stone at the very least

[exotic oyster]

with the way the other games closed alpha has been launched, do we expect to see a closed alpha of this game in the same way?

[south wigeon]

I think they've said it'll get a closed alpha near the end of the year. I could be wrong.

[pine skiff]

I think the roadmap says closed alpha soon (Q1?) and early access by the end of the year. But as always, "when it's ready"

[south wigeon]

Oh cool, I'll have to keep an eye for that.

[median sleet]

q2

[cerulean shuttle]

i wanna play rogue core so bad

ohhhhhhhhhhhh the misery

[tall plume]

from the newsletter

[young vessel]

gunner warthog

[native monolith]

That’s all but one now

[mossy ruin]

hammer

[native monolith]

Unless this is new

[tall plume]

fun fact, I also found the artstation of an artist working at GSG, which has ton of concept arts for RC

most likely all unused, but still

[young vessel]

i hope they use bull-pup shotgun

or uh, yknow, whatever it may be

[native monolith]

The visual overall is pretty huge too

Game has a lot of buttons so I’d image that is not easy

Alright it’s in the doc now

I’m gonna see about finishing all the core stuff for that this afternoon

As in uh, main things in rogue core not the core itself

All that’s left is upgrades then the ramrod

Then I gotta start digging through streams

[cerulean shuttle]

well actually that's not a hammer

[elfin ice]

Looks more like a gun to me!

[forest gazelle]

the first one looks kinda like a reaper gun from darktide, I love the idea of a bolter in a deep rock setting

[vagrant crystal]

I wonder if rogue core will finally show us what lays those dreadnaught eggs?

[native monolith]

Nah

The corespawn eated all the glyphids

[daring hill]

Hey, is it cool if I share the link to the newsletter page here, since theres text you cropped out? There's an option at the top to view in browser

[tall plume]

sure

I was hoping the distribution service GSG is using has an archive, but that doesn't seem to be the case sadly

[tall plume]

hmm no embed though, oh well

[grizzled surge]

bullpup drum mag kinda goes hard ngl

[spiral shoal]

I saw from the Rogue Core Steam page that EA will come at the end this year, so will drg S6 come before that ?

[twilit token]

No; they're gonna just work on rogue core for now, so S6 will come out after RC early access

[native monolith]

I’ll be too busy playing rogue core to care :P

[carmine zenith]

You're not playing it yet?

[native monolith]

I’m playing it in my mind

I’m still planning the heist though so I’ll get the real thing soon enough

[delicate flax]

But rogue core was released months ago

What do you mean?

[native monolith]

Crazy? I was crazy once

[dusky brook]

They put you in a room, a room full of mushrooms

[final narwhal]

Mushroom
Mushroom!

[karmic pendant]

MURshRoOM

Mission control- aah Your Giving me a danm headache! Stop doing that bloody thing!

[dense dawn]

Crazy I was crazy once they put me in a rubber room a rubber room full of rats rats make me crazy (I thinnk that's how it goes)

[torpid sundial]

How do i get rouge core

[twilit token]

that's the neat part, you don't

it's not out yet
check the pins for details

[torpid sundial]

Then how are yall playing it

[twilit token]

we aren't lol

[wary tiger]

We took the secret ramrod to the secret hoxxes' secret rogue secret core ||/s||

[sleek swallow]

it says gullible on the ceiling

[cerulean shuttle]

it says rogue core on the ceiling

[worldly sundial]

👀

link?

[tall plume]

sure, hold on

[west coral]

Hey is RC different from a full on DRG2 sequel, dont really understand why it couldnt be a mission alternative to the standard In a full sequel.

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

#rogue-core-chat message
this one in particular

[west coral]

Ah okay, thank you. I do hope the team is able to support both games going forward 🙂

[tall plume]

that's their intention

[dense dawn]

What even is rogue core about like gameplay and stuff

[dense dawn]

Well origanly is was only gonna be game mode but I don't know much about the game it's self

[tiny beacon]

check pins for what's known

[chrome basin]

When was the game coming out?

[dense dawn]

What the giwy said above early access is in q3 of this year I remember

[pine skiff]

Closed alpha q2, early access q4 I believe. But those are just tentative dates

[meager plover]

Im waiting for more info about signing up for closed alpha. Im especially focused on translating and seeing the lines in-game

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages for details

we got ton of those info, and one trailer

[vagrant scaffold]

Besides what the message you were referred to says: IIRC Rogue Core would take place between seasons 5 and 6 of DRG. So whenever we get season 6, RC will be a prequel for it.

[tall plume]

S5 was a prequel to Rogue Core but there's nothing saying S6 will be related to it

[covert oxide]

Will rogue core also have such seasons?

[median sleet]

Probably not during early access

[tall plume]

not sure that would work in a roguelite

[young vessel]

what if there were special chests that could randomly generate (at least 1 guaranteed per run) with great rewards and you had to loot small abandoned structures for a key but theres a 10% chance you drop a key in the drone every time you deposit

...and then your dwarf says "I think i dropped my bloody key!"

[median sleet]

What if there's a 10% chance you explode and die and lose the game whenever you shoot?

[young vessel]

what if there was a 2% chance for your weapons to jam and the more complex weapons take 1~3 real life hours to unjam

[forest rain]

Volatile Explosives

[upbeat tangle]

Fatboy

[cerulean shuttle]

what if there was a 0.000001% chance you just load into a regular deep rock mission

[pine skiff]

You'd have no weapons for the whole mission

[twilit token]

Karl simulator

[cerulean shuttle]

i wonder what the armour's names will be

will they still be named "MK4 Engineer Suit" or whatever

[tall plume]

probably not

[native monolith]

It all depends how they do cosmetics

There’s a stream mentioning it somewhere

[icy root]

is there a channel where we can share builds?

[tall plume]

#drg-chat

[icy root]

oh oops

[chrome basin]

Was the game going to have cosmetics?

I don’t remember

[cerulean tundra]

Probably. What’s a multiplayer game without cosmetics?

A miserable little pile of secrets!

[cerulean shuttle]

aw that sucks

personally i want them to keep the names just for the sentimental value

[pine skiff]

The reclaimers are supposed to be wearing "phase suits" (probably related to passing the greyout barrier), not regular armour

I would hope that each class has a different phase suit signifying its active ability too

[neat acorn]

greyout barrier?

[cerulean shuttle]

well technically we see a dwarf wearing the MK4 Engineer Suit™️

[tall plume]

yeah and it's a placeholder model

[cerulean shuttle]

aw that kinda sucks i like the MK4 Engineer Suit™️

[native monolith]

Oh I thought you just meant the naming scheme. I doubt they’ll have the 4 classes armor

[cerulean shuttle]

nooo

my day is ruined

[native monolith]

But now we will have new armor

[cerulean shuttle]

but.. but.. the engineer isn't engihere...

[native monolith]

Indeed

The engineer is in deep rock

Not rogue core

[cerulean shuttle]

not even his armour...

this is so sad

[native monolith]

But what if there’s rogue core character that you like more than the engineer?

And has cooler armor?

[cerulean shuttle]

sentries are at the core of my COLD DEAD HEART

come on i dare you come up with something better than engineer

[native monolith]

I don’t know, but maybe ghost ship will

[cerulean shuttle]

shaking my head

grabbing your head and shaking it

[upbeat tangle]

What if a new class that has a robot ally?

[olive narwhal]

Do we have news for you

[cerulean shuttle]

doesn't one of them have this robot falcon

it looks like the player has to control it though

when they showed it off the dwarf did some weird hand movements

[olive narwhal]

Its commands i think

[native monolith]

The falconeer

It’s not really like sentries

It’s like SSGs on a charge cooldown

[tall plume]

yeah, you can command it to an extent

as in tell it where to go and what to attack apparently

not sure there's much else it can do

[cerulean shuttle]

but can it go off on its own

like a worse bosco

[native monolith]

It looks way better in terms of raw damage

Just can’t be out the entire time

[olive narwhal]

Seems more fluid to command and control as well

[olive hound]

Well i expect we can pet it or make it do a rock and stone.

[native monolith]

They were talking about it being able to remotely revive teammates

[tall plume]

neat

[olive narwhal]

Falconeer looks like a good time

[orchid berry]

will there be rock in rogue core

[olive narwhal]

No rock only stone

[native monolith]

Stone!

[finite laurel]

Could be that instead of full-on different armor sets, there's instead one or two accessory slots on the armor, but the overall model will aways look a certain way to me immediately recognizable

[native monolith]

I mean that’s how it’s done in drg, to an extent

All of the class models are the exact same

I imagine in roguecore it’ll be more noticeable, cuz I remember hearing about blending cosmetics between classes more

[olive hound]

Yes

Maybe something like tf2?
Having a color noticeable in the suit/armor, maybe with a little glow (like the color lights in some of the armors in drg)

I do hope the weapon upgrades "show" a visual difference in your gun.

[native monolith]

I’m wondering how weapon cosmetics will work

I guess you just choose them before the mission?

And then when you find them in the cave that’s what they have

Ooo I hope we have the option to make them random everytime we find them

[olive hound]

Red paint increases the damage of the gun, because red is dangerous

[native monolith]

Would help add to the fact that these aren’t actually your guns

[olive hound]

Purple paint makes you invisible to Core Spawns, have you ever seen a purple Dwarf?

[cerulean shuttle]

no

[viscid plover]

I want to see a new dreadnaught personally

[final narwhal]

Dreadnought Hiveguard 2:Electric Boogaloo
Now with 90% more invulnerability frames

[cerulean shuttle]

90% less frames overall

lag spikes increased by 50%

[viscid plover]

Dreadnaught corespawn

[cerulean shuttle]

dude that would be sick why can't people stop being creative

my patience is running dry because of you

it's all your fault

[finite laurel]

What I meant is part of a “class” model here will stay the same no matter what, like if you pick the drone controller most of their suit will always have the same design no matter what other cosmetics you equip

That’s how I’d prefer it anyway

[finite laurel]

That would be really cool but probably not really feasible

Every gun would need a dozen sub-models and it’s possible a lot of guns can’t really have it represented anyway

[final narwhal]

And each sub model would have to be adapted to the cosmetics too
Would be a nightmare for the modeling team

[finite laurel]

I don’t even think GSG themselves knows yet what the long term plan for Rogue Core will be, personally though I’d be fine with a one and done game

More consistent visual language without the more outlandish weapon frames and hats etc

[dense dawn]

Yeah I feel like they stretched themselves to far between rc drg and survivor plus that othe rgame sseem like alot of work for a smaller dev team

[delicate wren]

roguecore is a separate dev team no?

wait i mean survivors

[olive narwhal]

Rogue core is the same dev team

Survivor is funday

[dense dawn]

Oh

[olive narwhal]

Thats why they are only focusing on one game

[dense dawn]

Well that makes sense but it I feel like prioritizing drg would be a better idea sense it brings in more money and is their hit game don't get me wrong I look forward to rc but I hope they are making the right decision

[sleek swallow]

how long do they gotta focus on drg for? another 10 years?

they can eventually just temporarily move on to a different project and work on something fresh

it won't hurt anybody

[olive narwhal]

They wont get anything done working on both at the same time

[sleek swallow]

also that

[olive narwhal]

Its helps to work on a different project this will also benefit drg

[dense dawn]

Not that I don't want rc but I dont see it benefiting drg

[olive narwhal]

Some of them have been at drg for a while. The new project will let the creative juices flow

[dense dawn]

Yeah with that I can agree I always forget drg is like 5 years old

[sleek swallow]

drg is more than 5 years old

[olive narwhal]

This year is the 7th anniversary im pr sure

[sleek swallow]

its been in development since 2016

early access in 2018 and fully released in 2020

and we got several more years of more content

[dense dawn]

Yeah well I meant full release

[sleek swallow]

development time isnt counted after full release

its not like the devs' sweat and hard work magically disappeared because of an arbitrary set date to count the game as "complete"

besides

a full release is supposed to be feature complete

which for most games means no more updates

[dense dawn]

Live service games

[sleek swallow]

drg isnt a live service game

and dont equate it to one

live service games are online only and have a backend that requires "maintenance" which is the whole constant ask of money to "support" said backend and in exchange for continuous updates and new content which aren't always given for free
drg on the other hand can be played completely offline without an internet connection and the updates are completely optional and always free

it is not live service

and given that they literally took a break from developing it, it is far from a live service game now

the dlcs in the game are completely cosmetic, optional and are only there to show your love and support to the devs

[dense dawn]

I wasn't referring drg as one I was juts pointing out what you said in that reply

[sleek swallow]

while live service games have a ton of microtransactions and whatever other predatory thing to make money

[sleek swallow]

ok well a full release for drg and not live service games is supposed to be feature complete

which the game has been, any new content we got and get is just added out of love for this game

[dense dawn]

Have the devs said this

[dense dawn]

And a live service game doe snot need micro transaction to be a live service but it is a common tactic for money

[sleek swallow]

I am not exactly sure but something similar

[sleek swallow]

I would dare you to find a live service game with no microtransactions but I am not here to argue the semantics of live service

point I was making is drg isnt a live service game

[tiny beacon]

I've seen some that didn't have them on launch

most add them eventually though

[dense dawn]

While I can't think of one off of the top of my head im sure some exist

But I never disagreed that drg isn't one

I agree with you that is isn't

Mostly becuase it's update are so few and far between

[sleek swallow]

regardless live service games require to be online all the time as per the whole "live" thing and they keep you playing to eventually spend money which is why live service games were sought after in the first place for money

[dense dawn]

Not all need to be online allt he time but yes they want you're money

[sleek swallow]

it's called live service because its online all the time

if its not online all the time its not live service

[dense dawn]

Not rly think cod you can play it offline but it's a live service

Just becuase many live services do it doesn't mean they can't go offline or not have micro transactions

[sleek swallow]

there's like a billion cod games, you're gonna have to be more specific there

[dense dawn]

Rly dude it pretty obvious what I am referring to cods been.like this sense bo4

[sleek swallow]

I dont play a single cod game?

why would it be obvious to me

[dense dawn]

I figured even somebody who has never played cod would know about the state it's in now with live service but I referring to cod from 2018 to now they have all be live service

And incredibly greedy

But it's a great example of done on launch and live service old cod where released and done only to get a couple dlc then recently they went to the fortnite way of making money

[sleek swallow]

wouldn't warzone be the live service game

[dense dawn]

That a cod it juts a separate mode like zombies or campaign

But yes

It is

[sleek swallow]

well what do you think the word "live" from the word live service means?

[dense dawn]

Clearly my point isn't clear enough

I'm gonna leave it at that

[pine skiff]

Cod is a fish and I am allergic to fish so I know nothing about it

Anyway, rguoe croe when

[fringe narwhal]

When it is done

[neat acorn]

did you know that every instance of 'when rogue core' being asked pushes the release date by 2 weeks?

currently the game is set to release in may of the year 2100

[cerulean shuttle]

when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core

[crisp thistle]

when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core when rogue core

[neat acorn]

Mission Control weeps

[royal axle]

core rogue when?

[crisp thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-twerk-rock-and-stone-gif-11460546867114425763

[cerulean shuttle]

ahhh rogue core looks so goooood

way better than early access deep rock

[upbeat tangle]

They probably have a higher budget after the massive success of deep rock galactic

[cerulean shuttle]

deep rock galactic? what's that

[upbeat tangle]

The game that 97% of steam users who played it agree is great

It is really hard to get 97% of people to agree on anything

[cerulean shuttle]

96.23% you mean

[upbeat tangle]

Maybe it’s changed slightly since I last saw but close enough

[covert oxide]

The best game i’ve played in years

[cerulean shuttle]

oh my god this has "OwO" in the link

[neat acorn]

owo core

[fringe narwhal]

Rowogue core

[native monolith]

Lmao

[final narwhal]

Lootbugs should be in rogue core
The corespawn don't attack them in drg
And they are essentially an invasive species with no known predator
I would also accept if we got something that hunts lootbugs

[elfin ice]

lootbeetles ❤️

[final narwhal]

That would be cool
The next life stage of lootbugs being a beetle

It would also work with everything in the core being a tougher version of the things above

[native monolith]

Quoting uh, a dev stream I don’t have on hand right now

“I believe we have an exponite lootbug somewhere, and I don’t really see why we wouldn’t add it”

[final narwhal]

[forest rain]

I had a horrid dream that i saw a garrys mod video with both the drg and rogue core dwarves in it, and i saw that some of the Rogue Core dwarves were Scottish and one looked like the Demoman.

[grand fulcrum]

wild

[frank helm]

give dwarves the option to twerk and make it deal damage to mobs

[frank void]

Add pink glyphids with little bows that are the huzz for the grunts

[tight wing]

I hope engineer gets a whole bunch of sentry's <3

Like 7 or something

Neer the end of a run

[native monolith]

I got bad news

This is the third time I’ve had to say it to someone now, but, DRGs four classes are not in rogue core

The reclaimers have a caste of new classes

[tight wing]

D:

[native monolith]

More similar to roboquests, if you’ve played it

[tight wing]

i guess thats fair

i hope theres turrets anyways...

[tall plume]

there might be or might not

guess we'll see

[earnest jay]

I just wanna see a grappling dwarf with flamethrower bring death everywhere

[native monolith]

I can give the “confirmed and approved” check mark to this one

Actually I don’t think we’ve seen the Crispr yet

The cyro cannon is in though so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be

[tall plume]

yeah

there's no reason to think any of the DRG weapon would be left out

[native monolith]

We’ve seen like half of them but I would bet all of them exist

[earnest jay]

I wonder if they'll rebalance weapons

Cause some just aren't as good as others

And I'd estimate OC (if there are any at all) wouldn't be readily available

[tall plume]

I think it's not sure yet if OCs are part of the gameplay

#rogue-core-chat message

[median sleet]

subata isn't in, everyone forgot about it

[earnest jay]

What's this bio boosters

[earnest jay]

My squad when someone has to pick subata -> 💀

I bet even the new default pistol is better than it

[fringe narwhal]

Don't hate on the Subata. It's trying its best :(

[earnest jay]

I think explosive reload makes it into a decent gun that has its niche

Outside of that I'm never using it

[fringe narwhal]

That with sludge pump synergy is nice

[earnest jay]

Same bro, I always roll with that on sludge pump cause of all the high ping lobbies I join.

And sludge pump is my fav weapon, period

[fringe narwhal]

Sludge blast go brrr

[earnest jay]

I used to be more of a compound disperser guy

Though now I use VIM cause I just run out of subata ammo otherwise

[cunning locust]

r uwu ge core

[earnest jay]

What's bio booster btw. I have 0 clue

[tall plume]

The bio boosters are heavily focused on the class and ability, compared to the level ups and artifacts that are a bit more free-form.

sounds like a specific kind of upgrade

[earnest jay]

Wait there are artifacts as well?!?!

[tall plume]

guess so, but no idea what it is exactly

[earnest jay]

DRG take my money already

I hope it's the roguelike equivalent to pickups in isaac

Though that'd be too hard to code and very ambitious

[tall plume]

what are those ?

never played Isaac

[native monolith]

im guessing they mean items

im pretty sure its just weapons and upgrades tho

unless these artifacts are some sort of item system

[tall plume]

idk, I've played a few roguelites and they all do the same things in a different flavor with different names

[earnest jay]

Basically modifiers that change practically everything about your game. Main thing was that interact with eachother leading to every run feeling more unique. So you could have bombs that have laser knife barrages that are interconnected with lightning effect for ex.

[tall plume]

it's the main way of in-run upgrade i assume

[earnest jay]

At least I hope it's like DRG:S artifacts which are not as crazy but slightly game changing

[tall plume]

Risk of Rain got items, isaac got artifact, Roboquest got perks + level up upgrades + 50+ weapon type with rarity and level and affixes (like borderlands), i wonder where Rogue Core will land

I guess closer to Roboquest

by the sound of it anyway

[earnest jay]

I need to try roboquest, heard a lot of good things about it

[tall plume]

it's amazing tbh

it even has a demo if you want to try it real quick

definitely recommend giving it a shot

[earnest jay]

Def will try that

[prime spindle]

Do yourself a favor and try it asap

Its probably one of the most underrated shooters rn.

[forest rain]

Whats this chat for again I forgot

[long breach]

for the upcoming game GSG is developing: Rogue Core

[forest rain]

Ah ok ok

Wait so what’s the whole idea for rogue core im kinda confused on it

[median sleet]

pinned messages

[terse comet]

maybe that's how the vampire passive works

[finite laurel]

I remember when the CWC was first unveiled the devs talked about ideas like having swarmers or hatchlings pop like popcorn, that should be a new OC

Leaves the popcorn glyphids on the ground as a healing item like red sugar

[fringe narwhal]

What if we got a new human enemy called Jerry. And he hits the reclaimers with tax fraud allegations

[finite laurel]

Gotta call down the CAL-QL8 drone to prove that all your taxes are in order

[native monolith]

DRG is definitely always fighting with the space IRS

Dodging the morkite tax is probably more difficult than what the miners go through

[modest pumice]

is there anyway to get invited to the closed alpha , or is that not possible for plebs like me?

[tall plume]

the closed alpha isn't even started and there's no way to sign up yet

[modest pumice]

i know it hasnt started - was wondering if there was any news

its scheduled for Q1 2025

which is now

[tall plume]

it's scheduled for Q2

[ripe wigeon]

Fr?

[native monolith]

Yes

[cerulean shuttle]

i weally hope that they're gonna do an endless mode

[orchid berry]

will helium 3 be in the game

[native monolith]

I’d say it’s decently likely

Maybe in a post release update

[upbeat tangle]

Doubt it, as DRG uses fictional minerals, but I don’t think we have a definite yes or no

[orchid berry]

It's been in the game before

[rare glacier]

do yall know when will rogue core be releasing/will it be on ps5?

[sleek swallow]

consoles will not have a playable version in a long time

[native monolith]

Pretty sure that was because they were still finding their groove on the setting

[harsh lynx]

I have to imagine he'd be pretty wrathful. and stony

[steel hearth]

Haven't they said that expenite is the only mineral in the game?

(re: helium3)

[frigid path]

Due to a sponsorship deal we’ll also be getting sugondese as a mineral

still can’t believe Aaron managed to convince the team on it

now if only he could convince someone to watch starship troopers

[final narwhal]

Everyone always asking what is sugondese nobody asks how is sugondese 😔

[native monolith]

Doing really well, last I heard everyone wanted to get some sugondese nuts

[final narwhal]

Damn the sugonda economy must be doing great then

[finite laurel]

Should’ve been hoxiron smh

[pure vessel]

Yeah I pitched that idea, and it was immediately turned down

It was meant to just be a feature of the gun

The OC that was ALSO rejected was the shrink ray 😦

[pure vessel]

There will likely be more at some point.

at least one more probably.

[pure vessel]

Probably, but not until after the full release.

[fringe narwhal]

What if there were swarmer equivalents in Rogue Core called Anklebiters

[median sleet]

for meta upgrades?

[finite laurel]

I imagine the shrink ray would probably cause a ton of unintended effects but popcorn swarmers sounds like so much fun

[pure vessel]

Maybe

[pure vessel]

Yeah the shrink ray became a different OC that didn't make it into the game, that would decrease damage / attack rate of affected enemies.

basically the shrink ray would make the enemies into swarmer-size so they became "non dangerous" or close to it at least.

[cerulean shuttle]

mini dreadnought when

[dusky brook]

a mini dreadnought is just a bulkier praetorian

but what about mini spitballers

[cerulean shuttle]

a bulkier praetorian is just an oppressor

[dusky brook]

right, i forgot about those guys

[cerulean shuttle]

swarmer steve

when

[fringe narwhal]

Tiny exploder like in DRG survivor

[orchid berry]

exploder steeve but the cooldown is shortened to 1 minute

[idle bison]

this would be so fire on scout

[covert oxide]

The dreadnoughts we have ingame are the mini’s

[tiny beacon]

nah they're normal sized, what they grow into has a different classification

[tardy siren]

What's a rogue core?

Is it some kind of DLC or a whole another game?

[ashen flint]

New game. RogueLite coop

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

[tardy siren]

ohh

[tall plume]

lot of extra info in the pinned messages too

[tardy siren]

I see

ty!

[exotic oyster]

Is the stream showing any new information? I’m on the opposite side of the world and can never see them.

[tall plume]

don't think there's currently any new information concerning RC

[exotic oyster]

Alright, thanks!

[tall plume]

tuesday 18th will come with some new info, considering it's a Rogue Core QA stream

worst case scenario, you can always watch the VODs

[silk jacinth]

will rogue core have crossplay?

[tight wing]

Probably not, since regular deep rock doesn't have cross play, although maybe we'll get both games with cross play at the same time, that would be cool

[lapis tinsel]

the dreadnought IS the mini version. its a child, an infant even.

[tiny beacon]

it might, since they're able to work on it without a lot of the limitations of keeping DRG running through the update, but seeing as it uses DRG as a base it might also just reuse the existing system to avoid having to build one from scratch. Either way the existing connections (ps4/ps5 and windows store/xbox) will definitely exist provided it's on the platforms

[tall plume]

unlikely

[chrome basin]

Do you guys know which classes and roles are confirmed?

Last time I’ve heard something about a dwarf with a sword?!? That’s too cool to be real right?

[tall plume]

that's correct, one of the classes' ability is a laser sword

[tall plume]

there's 5 classes we know about: falconeer, gorgon, guardian, spotter and slicer

names are WIP ofc

[chrome basin]

Any info on what role they fill?

[chrome basin]

Lol

[tall plume]

role ?

[chrome basin]

like i'm guessing that the guardian wants to be on a defensive rol but no clue on the slicer or the falconeer

[tall plume]

well I don't there's "roles" to fill, just like in DRG

[chrome basin]

but in drg the scout gets minerals and takes care of priority targets, the engie gets the cave clear of the overal horde, driller makes the team stands his ground and gunner takes care of high hp targets while being the last and strongest line of defense, you know team roles...

[tiny beacon]

it's up to the players and random chance

mobility tools and player weapons are randomized, and upgrades are limited - you've got to put together a build on the fly, and pick options from a given limited pool that mesh with your team with each opportunity. The class abilities are structured to not interfere with one another - that way, they can add more classes as time goes on, which they can't do if each has a role like DRG's

[chrome basin]

oh ok that's a better explanation

hope that this different approach doesn't intervene with drg famous teamwork

[tall plume]

those are very flexible roles though

nothing like the usual roles you'd see in other games

[chrome basin]

I know but it is the overall archetype

[tall plume]

yeah we don't know if there's any archetype, so to speak

not sure how that would work with randomized tools anyway

[chrome basin]

eventually there will be a meta that will prioritize certain upgrades and certain play styles creating the archetypes, it isn't some you can run from the players will always optimize the fun

[south wigeon]

I know it's super random and in all odds will absolutely not happen; but I really hope Rogue Core has a Rapier in some form.
It could be a weak point specialized melee, not doing much unless the aim is true.

[sick cosmos]

Maybe its stupid but i Hope for gender option in game

Btw how can i get Access to the game? And do anyone know the price that game will have?

[young vessel]

1. meditate for 8~10 months
2. probably $30 like deep rock

[sick cosmos]

Oh i got the drg on eneba or something for totally lower price 😅 in my country 30$ is very big price so im gonna wait ☺️

[tall plume]

early access is coming in Q4, closed alpha is coming in Q2 - with no way to sign in yet
if they go about it the same way they did for DRG, it'll be a 15$ tag price at early access launch

though that's just an assumption and the price might be higher

[sick cosmos]

Thank you for answers ☺️

Goodnight guys ☺️ rock and stone

[final narwhal]

I will give gsg my firstborn son if it means I get to be part of the closed alpha

[south wigeon]

I will also give GSG your firstborn son.

[finite laurel]

That’s not really a thing in roguelikes, since you can’t ever be sure of what upgrades become available to you so you can’t really split hairs over the perfect build. But yeah, toxicity is unavoidable in every game, though DRG doesn’t have much of it compared to most big multiplayer games

[finite laurel]

I know it’s mostly just up to random chance but I also really really hope I can get into the alpha

[rare glacier]

when does rogue core come out anyway? need to rock and stone ASAP

[upbeat tangle]

Early access in Q4 2025 - check the pins

[lapis tinsel]

its Q4 now?

man

[upbeat tangle]

Closed alps coming in Q2

#rogue-core-chat message

Alpha*

Stupid autocorrect

[lapis tinsel]

closed, as in very limited access to the few?

[upbeat tangle]

I don’t really know how limited it will be

Just that it won’t be buy and play

[lapis tinsel]

mm hmm

but I WANT IT NOW

[upbeat tangle]

Good things come to those who wait! Like dual flamethrowers and rogue core!

Frankly I’d rather they take their time. Waiting hurts. But getting a terrible game hurts more

[lapis tinsel]

true. im gonna take out my frustration on my son

[fringe narwhal]

Rock core

[lapis tinsel]

ill miss my bug buddies

since the new enemies would be core spawn variants

steve

[upbeat tangle]

DRG aint disappearing anytime soon.
Steeve will always be there for you

[lapis tinsel]

no actually. dumbass tried to attack a detonator yesterday. he died a hero tho

[fringe narwhal]

Steeve is like my cat

Cute but stupid

[elder ivy]

Guys, anything is known about rogue core? Release date? Alpha? Beta? Anything?

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages for info

[elder ivy]

What is q4?

[tall plume]

4th quarter of the year

[finite laurel]

Basically: the closed alpha is expected to be around April to June, early access between October and December

Things can change, but that's the plan as we know it right now

[native monolith]

im guessing we will get more info in the rogue core stream coming up

[young vessel]

im guessing we will get less info in the rogue core gaslight stream coming up

[pliant radish]

Is there going to be a sign-up requirement for Rogue Core?

[median sleet]

Not for early access

We don't known anything about the closed beta, but you'll probably have to sign up for that in some way

[silk jacinth]

is rogue core gonna be a dlc? or is it gonna be a new game, or will it just be a big update for deep rock galactic?

[twilit token]

it's a whole new game
check the pins for info

[wintry cliff]

can only hope they give everyone a chance to sign up for the beta, and it not being a vip kind of deal

wont be as easy to get in as the DRG closed beta back in 2018

[dim moat]

will we hear about how to sign up for alpha in here?

[tall plume]

yes

[dim moat]

sick!!!

I will be there

[zenith rock]

If rogue core alpha gets released this year i will bankrupt management with all the glyphid slammers I will drink

[native monolith]

Well, unless something crazy happens that stops them it’s coming in the next few months

[pure vessel]

The game is built around the principle of "if you don't work together, you die"

[pure vessel]

Not sure. It's limited sure, but everyone can sign up once we open up the gates

[pure vessel]

New game. We're taking DRG apart and taping it back together.

[pure vessel]

Not that I know of. Anyone are welcome to sign up.

[fringe narwhal]

Will there be the same level of cosmetic customization in Rogue Core as in DRG?

[pure vessel]

I don't know. We haven't dicussed it yet.

Or rather haven't made any decisions.

[fringe narwhal]

Okie

Thx for answering tho :)

[chrome basin]

Drg is all about the silly hats

[willow flame]

Hi. When is next Rogue Core "Below Decks"?

[pure vessel]

I don't know. We may mention something about Rogue Core during streams or during our anniversary stream.

Not really sure.

[tall plume]

there's a Q&A rogue core stream on the 18th

[willow flame]

Good. Thanks for the answers

[pure vessel]

There you go! Thank you.

[fringe narwhal]

Will the French version be called Rouge Core

[tall plume]

no

[pure vessel]

Ser Pounce decides

[fringe narwhal]

Daw

[pure vessel]

There you have it

[fringe narwhal]

Then it is up to me to make a mod that changes that when the game releases

[chrome basin]

Really hoping to see the dynamics in action in future showcases about the game

This game is number one on my wish list this year, you guys are the best

[pure vessel]

Glad to hear it!

[thin siren]

@serpounce me too

[prisma valve]

whats rogue core about?

[native monolith]

Pins

[fringe narwhal]

The rogue core ofc

[orchid berry]

is there gonna be dwarves in rogue core

[fringe narwhal]

No

[orchid berry]

damn

[verbal bobcat]

maybe.. probably

[upper gorge]

I assume the system reqs will be similar, despite using a different engine?

[tall plume]

likely to be higher than DRG

by how much, though, hard to say

[upper gorge]

Nothing every option on low settings can't solve... Hopefully

[mossy ruin]

we do know they optimize particles some more for RC

and that was like the main bottleneck for DRG

[native monolith]

I have a pretty low end pc and the only thing that lags for me in drg is ice and fire particles

So if theyre fixing that ill imagine it’ll run fine on anything

Unless you have a greater potato than I do

[wheat pewter]

bad news: the name change from "Rogue Core" to "Rogued Core" was declined earlier today at 14:11 (CET)

worse news: as of 15:55 (CET) the entire development team of a video game called "Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core" has signed a restraining order on the phrase "Rogued Core" specifically and it is not to be uttered within 100 meters of any "Deep Rock Galactic: Rogued Core" developer or they may push charges and one eyeball in

[late scarab]

😢

The worlds gonna come crumbling down at this sour news

[pine skiff]

This makes it sound like there is a separate developer team working on Rogued Core (don't worry I'm more than 100m away)... or is it just a typo?

[willow flame]

I like your videos not your news

[median sleet]

You have been banned from watching any future videos

[willow flame]

what is this for?

[pliant radish]

That's a huge relief, please give the team my personal thanks for making this whole universe an amazing one. Rock and Stone!

[dim moat]

who ever conceived of the name "rogued core"

[delicate flax]

Me

[tight wing]

You?

[wheat pewter]

rogued core

[unique dagger]

.

[orchid berry]

rouged core 🇫🇷

[fringe narwhal]

Rook core

[wheat pewter]

I have outdated information based on a playtest from a year ago, AMA!

[frigid path]

Will Quantrite be in Rogue Core?

[wheat pewter]

it wasn't in the playtest, sad day

[frigid path]

😔

[chrome basin]

Which mobility options where available?

[verbal wolf]

Were there rocks and stones?

[wheat pewter]

like traversal tools? I think we had all the default drg ones that could be found in-mission, maybe not the grapple hook

[wheat pewter]

no, rogue and core, reclaimers

[chrome basin]

Oh ok I see. just one more question, there’s still plenty of environmental destruction? Is just that many screenshots and videos showcase structures like bridges or elevators and I suppose you wouldn’t want to be breaking things around those..

[wheat pewter]

environmental destruction was the same as in drg

but we also had dedicated levels for structures

[keen cargo]

I think the grappling hook was in at the time unless my memory fails me

though, its not in atm

[chrome basin]

What do you do in those?? (Thank you for answering btw )

[wheat pewter]

they were called safe rooms where you could heal, restore 25% of ammo and upgrade one weapon, then you can decide between two elevators on how you'll continue

[chrome basin]

Man, I need a release date, my crew and I yearn for the mines I can hear them calling

[keen cargo]

Soon™

[wheat pewter]

2028 probably

[verbal wolf]

DRG: Rogue Core will release when Earth's core goes rogue.

[chrome basin]

I will be there day 1 ready to fight demons beyond my comprehension and to die a horrible death in the darkest hell imaginable

[keen cargo]

It will be a close race with silksong then!

[verbal wolf]

Rogue Core releases when Earth's core goes rogue, but Silksong isn't releasing until the heat death of the universe.

[finite laurel]

Team Cherry could learn a thing or two from Ghost Ship lol

A lot of game companies have poor communication but TC are in a league of their own

[keen cargo]

Surely we'll get some news on the next Nintendo Direct!

I have my gear ready at least

[finite laurel]

Friday will be the 6th year anniversary of it's announcement

The fact it's taken six years to develop isn't the problem, I'm sure the exact same bloom in scope happened to it as it did the original Hollow Knight, but the fact it's a Kickstarter stretch goal means people have been waiting almost a decade now on something they funded

Oh well, Rogue Core is looking promising in any case

[native monolith]

In team cherries defense: we actually have a ton info on silksong, it’s just divided by the amount of time, it’s so little

Even if they just did a newsletter or small showcase monthly, I think it wouldve been great for the community

[mossy ruin]

I think we have more info on RC than silksong at this point

[native monolith]

Maybe, I can confirm for certain when I finish the doc

[finite laurel]

No matter how you slice it, radio silence for years looks bad

[native monolith]

I should finally get around to doing that

[native monolith]

They just don’t communicate online

Which was fine at a certain point but… not anymore

[orchid berry]

were there dwarves in rogue core

[wheat pewter]

yes

[orchid berry]

Oh my god

I'm in tears

[young vessel]

is there a big white tree in salt pits

[pure vessel]

Yes there used to be, but we deleted them all

[hollow bear]

Hope yall like gnomes

[pure vessel]

Or elves :^)

[orchid berry]

what are gnomes but walmart discount dwarves

[hollow bear]

Gsg had to make the player smaller so the Ramrod looks bigger

[wheat pewter]

salt pits was the same as drg

[young vessel]

🥺

oh hey has anyone asked about pickaxe slowdown yet i cant find anything when i search for it!!!!!

[glossy heath]

Mention of elves! Their existence in DRG has been confirmed!

[wheat pewter]

we still had the pickaxe slowdown in the playtest

[hollow bear]

Don't look at the dwarves ears

[young vessel]

what if the corespawns are mechs piloted by tiny elves

[hollow bear]

That's why their faces open. That's where the cockpit is

[young vessel]

dagnabbit!!!

[hollow bear]

Little elf crawls in

[finite laurel]

It's funny, in folklore dwarves, elves and gnomes were all basically the same thing, wasn't until Tolkien that the fantasy genre started making more distinct definitions of each

Same goes for orcs/ogres/goblins

In Danish there aren't words for both gnomes and elves everything is just a "nisse"

[pine skiff]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Treetop Tea Salon on board the Ramrod

[zenith rock]

Is the ramrod gonna also be a hub area like the space rig?

[bitter sleet]

Is there any news?

[olive hound]

In Elder Scrolls Lore, the "Dwarven" race is basically Elves living under mountains devoted to science, engineering and alchemy.

[finite laurel]

Yeah, orcs are mer (elves) too

[olive hound]

Yes

Would be really interesting if the Dwarves from Rogue Core are different from the DRG ones.

[tall plume]

every important news usually ends up pinned in here

if there's nothing new, it means there are no news

[sand vale]

I had a dream that they added a rogue core teaser as a random event spawn
It was just called "the artifact" and it would become a required objective once you found it.
It was a giant glowing lime green sphere made of hexagons that would spawn in the ground and had a scan prompt
When you scanned it it would destroy all the terrain around it like a resonance crystal but like 2x the size of a detonator blast
Once you did that the objective would complete
There were 0 voice lines or anything for this, it just appeared in the mission objectives once you found it and was removed from objectives once you scanned it

[summer ferry]

interesting

I hope the devs add many micro transactions, a pay to use battlepass, and DLC to make roguecore generate lots of money for them 🧌

[wheat pewter]

there's a real chance the dlc for rogue core could get... more egregious

[raw ridge]

Been quite some time since we got juicy Rogue core news

[raw ridge]

Based on what

[raw ridge]

They are

They're supposed to be the elite squad on DRG's payroll

Not just miners with guns

[olive narwhal]

Watch out for the stream this comkng Tuesday

[tiny beacon]

you mean they might make more than one 8 dollar DLC every average of half a year? Wild

[wheat pewter]

1000% someone like me would be referring to one extra DLC per year as opposed to something else, totally

regardless chances are we won't even see DLCs until 1.0

[pure vessel]

I'd hate for there to me micro transactions. We'll probably make DLCs like... armors or something, like in DRG.

[pure vessel]

They are-

[pine skiff]

They're taller and have longer pointy ears

And they like tea instead of beer

[pure vessel]

If the DRG dwarves look like golden retrievers, the Reclaimer Dwarves look like pitbulls

They've seen some shit you wouldn't believe

[wheat pewter]

ew

[forest rain]

Can they drink on a drill dozer

[orchid berry]

im calling it now, the reclaimers look exactly the same as the regular dwarves but with slightly angrier eyebrows

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/lodgecast-randy-quaid-bingo-gif-25730284

[fringe narwhal]

That gif scares me

[orchid berry]

Why won't he blink

[orchid berry]

Will the reclaimers get better flashlights

[fringe narwhal]

They don't need flashlights

[pure vessel]

Ehh... maybe?

[fringe narwhal]

They use special kind of echolocation (farting) to tell the way

[wheat pewter]

not gonna mention the flashlight lootboxes, really?

[hollow bear]

Bet 🤝

[olive hound]

No flashlight, Infravisión

Eye cosmetics

[fringe narwhal]

I'll stick to fartolocation

[native monolith]

The dwarves have extremely specialized night vision goggles, but it only works on beer

[tepid shell]

werts the meta engi rn

[delicate flax]

No no there is no flashlight or infravision. RnD figured out that if we fill a dwarf with a bunch of hydrogen and start a fusion reaction we can create a mini sun. Not sure what happens to the dwarf and there are unintended side effects of the dwarf meltin through terrain.

[median sleet]

Engi? There's no engi in Rogue Core. Try #drg-chat

[tepid shell]

oops

[summer ferry]

add lootbox mechanics for everything in your kit

[fringe narwhal]

What if every shot you took had a random chance to explode in your face because DRG forgot to maintain the equipment

[signal pewter]

or have a chance finding jammed weapons for the same reason, could be a new mutator idea.

[native monolith]

Well it’s not they forgot, they just can’t get down there

[zenith rock]

engi got fired?

[tiny notch]

pay $5 to repair your gun

[fringe narwhal]

If EA made Rogue Core

[wheat pewter]

what: Rogued Core to include a smell-o-vision, game director explains you'll be able to smell everything from "slimy creatures" to "chaotic explosions" and even "dwarf BO"

[finite laurel]

DRGs monetization is so refreshing and user-friendly compared to the gaming scene at large nowadays, hopefully it stays the same

Though is it weird to say I'd prefer Rogue Core to not have seasons?

Either be a one and done game or to get updates closer to DRG's beta

I think I'd rather see GSG making new games over time rather than just supporting the existing ones tbh

[solid totem]

Does anyone know who will be able to play the Closed Alpha?

[tall plume]

first pinned message for the answer

[solid totem]

Thank you for mentioning it. I'm just a bit confused about whether a regular player like me will have access to it in closed alpha, as I would certainly enjoy experimenting it

[tall plume]

I'm sure there will be regular players getting access

[wheat pewter]

they will definitely allow for a limited number of random people to join the closed alpha

and chances are they'll invite more people each time there's a major update for the closed alpha

[pure vessel]

I don't think it's something we'll go for with Rogue Core as it stands right now, but we'll likely integrate some of the season pass systems or similar, since they work great.

And then have continuous updates for as long as that's viable and makes sense

but having a theme and all that stuff is probably not making it into Rogue Core for a while.

Right now there is no other focus than just getting the game out in early access and then getting it to a 1.0

However I don't know what the future brings. We don't plan very much ahead honestly.

[finite laurel]

That’s cool too, I’m just excited for whatever comes next

[worldly sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner-tears-in-rain-roy-batty-gif-3478115

oh damnit-

[tall plume]

[worldly sundial]

Don't wheeze at me, Mr wheel man

I saw that

[tall plume]

[native monolith]

[finite laurel]

Is Rogue Core planned to release as a beta like DRG was or will the public release be considered 1.0

[native monolith]

A very fair development strategy, though. Never know when you might want to/need to drastically change something, but it would go against all the planning you had done

[native monolith]

Closed beta: Q2, small amount of players, NDA unknown

Early access: Q4 (end of year) public steam release, very similar to drgs

Full release: we have no idea and neither does GSG i think

I don’t think it’s a set timeline either but I’m guessing we will get more info in the rogue core stream that’s happening soon

[finite laurel]

Right, so it basically is the same structure as DRG had

[native monolith]

Yeah, almost the same

There’s just a ton more people interested this time

[finite laurel]

It’s crazy how big DRG got, really glad it did though

I hope it’ll finally be possible to implement a firing range/testing chamber in Rogue Core, to test out interactions between weapons and upgrades

[olive narwhal]

Considering you can now swap weapons beyond just the rig terminal its probably a possibility
