Q4😢

[chrome sundial]

Q4 😞

One day I'll be able to rouge the core

[lilac heart]

Q4 is fine

[chrome sundial]

If you think about it we're halfway there

Unfortunately if you think about it that way it means we're halfway through the year

[grizzled surge]

if the devs need more inspiration, ive been playing the demo for deadzone rogue recently and it goes hard
has a very similar perk picking format from what ive seen, has coop and the gunplay is very clean

[native monolith]

Popping a grunts head off is hard to beat but we shall see

[waxen grove]

i bring leaks

in deepcore

[daring hill]

LEAK: Rogue Core will feature textures and models.

[waxen grove]

the perk that lets you tame bugs is called "force rizz"

[daring hill]

It will also require being rendered at a resolution.

[waxen grove]

and theres a passive called "aura farming"

[waxen grove]

up to 20 pixels

dont forget that part

[hollow palm]

Please roguecore day 1 drop

It would be just in time to save the ror2 community from gearbox and take2

[native monolith]

Eh, we’re doing fine

They’re fixing it right now

[hollow palm]

The new EULA has little to do with the devs

[native monolith]

The false son rework was a little meh but it have hope for survivors

[hollow palm]

slop became mid, still not buying dlc that took/will take a year to not be a downgrade

That’s irrelevant and my own personal issue

Take2 is abusing gearbox, which is abusing risk of rain

[native monolith]

If the survivors rework is good I’d say it’ll be better than SOTV tbh

But yeah it’s still lame they had to have a roadmap for fixing their payed dlc

[hollow palm]

Best part about voidling is the music, not much else

[native monolith]

Thanks take 2 very cool

[native monolith]

Chris always cooks though

[hollow palm]

Void items are great

making the game unmoddable for content that can’t live up to the average content mod is the gripe

If the borderlands EULA is anything to go by, spyware might end up becoming a issue

Then the usual stuff. Termination clause and stuff

[tall plume]

good thing Hoopoo left the ship tbh

Rogue Core will be the next roguelite taking the internet by storm
(hopefully)

[hollow palm]

Is that what happened? I was under the impression they handed the wheel over

[hollow palm]

Very hopefully

[tall plume]

potato potato

[hollow palm]

No hard feelings or whatever. They did what they wanted with the IP and let someone else work with it

[tall plume]

they left RoR2 in their hands to redo RoR:R and didn't expand on it beyond some bugfix before disbanding, pretty much.

[hollow palm]

Not their fault GB and take2 catastrophically fumbled

[tall plume]

their reasons are unknown but they're working at Valve now IIRC

[hollow palm]

Probably deadlock yeah

[tall plume]

honestly, I'm not sure it would be a good thing ? But I'm also wishing the best to the devs

[native monolith]

GB was doing fine, I’m pretty suspicious of a forced deadline from take two though

The release with planned content randomly cut was really weird

[hollow palm]

I’m not too excited about the idea of early access again, but they seem to be trying to cover as much ground pre release as possible so yeah

[native monolith]

Well, valve is basically Olympus

Once you get there you’re kinda at the top

[hollow palm]

GB made several unusual choices even disregarding the usual corporate incompetency that’s always invading the gamedev industry

No individual developer is at fault. But areas looking nice isn’t the objective of new areas

[native monolith]

Which is why I assume it was rushed

Some things look great and others are so close but randomly have corners cut

[hollow palm]

I’m narrowing it down to things that weren’t rushed decisions. Including some SoTV content

The current VF rework sounds gross

Not that I’d know, I can’t play the game without accepting an unacceptable EULA anymore

[median yoke]

GUYS

IT'S TODAAAY

AAA

[lilac heart]

Today is the day. The day the Benevolent Bank goes down.

[glad surge]

Good morning everyone I figured this may be the best place to ask, but I see that on steam. The game is available for beta testing. I was wondering if anyone knows if that is actually available and how to get involved I would love to be
Able to play it

[median sleet]

there is no closed alpha yet

[daring hill]

it might be announced at the triple-I thing tonight

BIG might though

if not, it's anytime during april to june, assuming there are no delays

[serene lily]

I just watched the trailer and I like how the environments have more structures (rails, floors) in them. But the bit where you pick up equipment throughout the mission turns me off. That's not the kind of game I enjoy. My fantasy would be that the improved terrain generation would be available in DRG (or the old equipment system would be an option in DRGRC), and they'd enable cross-platform play (I have it on Steam, but some friends have it on XBox).

[tall plume]

Crossplay is never coming

[pure vessel]

Is it? It's not event in closed alpha

[median sleet]

the bit where you pick up equipment during the mission is kinda the point of a roguelike. It's a spinoff of DRG, not a sequel.

[daring hill]

It's something I've seen a surprising amount of. Someone will say they don't like the concept of roguelikes/roguelites, which is completely fair, yet say that the game shouldn't be one

Also "improved terrain generation" the new generation stuff with buildings is not like. A bugfix or anything?

It's a major gameplay change that could never just be shoved into DRG

[pure vessel]

Rogue Core does do it a little bit different from some Roguelites/likes like Hades where you pick your weapon before a run, but we'll still have SOME things you can choose before a run such as class, enhancements and more.

We want you to be open to working with what you get in the caves

[daring hill]

On a similar topic, I think a good pointer for why Rogue Core is a new game entirely rather than a new mode is to look at Team Fortress 2's MvM mode.

Like, it's fine, but I think it suffered from having to work in the framework of TF2. Of course, Valve treating it as a gambling simulator didn't help, but still

[pure vessel]

Rogue Core wouldn't work as it is right now in DRG as an expansion. We have remade so many things already, such as a new Elemental system.

That wouldn't have been possible if we had to adhere to the design + systems of DRG.

Same with new classes

[main hinge]

Will this new elemental system be similar to drg’s elemental system when it comes to combat?
As in temperature shock causing large bursts of damage?

[pure vessel]

The elements will have combination possibilities, yes. However, more will be included in this one.

[main hinge]

Thanks

I’m excited for rogue core and what you have done

[pure vessel]

so combining poison and fire will have an effect, while poison and corrosion will have another. Electricity and Ice will also have one.

[fading frigate]

new dwarf classes? 😨

[pure vessel]

Yes, we have a different class system in Rogue Core and includes all new classes.

[fading frigate]

nice

[main hinge]

I’m glad you are expanding on the elemental system
I found it kind of lacking in drg
It always comes back to fire/ice
Glad you are working to make other elements more viable

[pure vessel]

We didn't just expand, we actually changed how it works.

If we did that in DRG we would break a ton of stuff.

[main hinge]

Time to learn a whole new elemental system

[young vessel]

just like warframe!!!

[celest tinsel]

Oh boy can’t wait!

[pure vessel]

We're still ironing out the details, but I'm personally very happy with it. It will encourage more coop coordination when applying them.

[frank mica]

So what exactly is rogue core?

How does it connect to deep rock?

[tall plume]

check the pinned message for the (numerous) details

[frank mica]

Yes... but I'm seeking social interaction. 😅

I guess.

[random laurel]

That's so fire

[carmine zenith]

🟥 🌽

[young vessel]

🤧

[random laurel]

Have you guys thought of maybe having a "global hub" of sorts, where dwarves just chill there and do their shenanigans with other dwarves? I always thought the moments before the mission were fun but I think it would be way cooler if there were more than 4 players

[carmine zenith]

Yes, it's a very old suggestion

[pure vessel]

No. Right now it's a lobby like in DRG for the 4 players who are on the team.

[frank helm]

Rouge core better has some actual swearing

Bugs me that my blue collar bug genocide game thats rated at 16 can't say "Frick"

[young vessel]

nuh uh it should have more in-universe cursing such as "leaf lover"

[pure vessel]

It wears out very fast. I think we'll go with more fun things like calling eachother leaf lovers and such.

[young vessel]

eggactly

[pure vessel]

It's not that we are not allowed to, but swearing, when heard often, just gets old quick.

[frank helm]

Fair enough. Although the 3 jokes drg has wear out fast too

[young vessel]

thats just like, your opinion, man

[frank helm]

If it's delicately sprinkled o think it could add to the game

[frank helm]

Im fully aware man

[pure vessel]

I'm not talking about jokes, I'm talking about other ways of the dwarves expressing themselves, instead of saying shit and fuck all the time

[frank helm]

Makes sense

[young vessel]

what if we threw heavy minerals at each other and it dealt 1 friendly fire damage

that's a good feature

[frank helm]

Will there be more class specific interactions?

[pure vessel]

Maybe if the dwarves ping each other, but right now we're not focusing on it

[frank helm]

I see

[pure vessel]

but since DRG has it then sure, some day

[median sleet]

voicechat will compensate for lack of dwarf swearing

[frank helm]

Gl with the development, im hyped for the trailer

[pure vessel]

Thank you. I'm also very excited for it to be shown. It has evolved a lot since the last trailer was released.

[frank helm]

Hell yeah, sick to hear

[pure vessel]

most of the placeholders from drg have been replaced with Rogue Core art, so I'm super stoked for people to see that

[median sleet]

Will the trailer include more specific date information?

or is that for later ™️ ?

[frank helm]

Nice, was hoping to get more insight on the vibe and aesthetics

[pure vessel]

Can't say.

[median sleet]

Can you say it for a scooby snack?

[young vessel]

i hope the trailer shows more ellis, they should be like 20% of the marketing

[daring hill]

The rogue core trailer will be announcing that GSG will be making the game bad

A bold decision to be sure

[young vessel]

good heavens!

[median sleet]

'we made the dwarfs humans'

[daring hill]

Idk why but the idea of a game trailer that just announces "yeah we think this game should fucking suck now" is very funny to me

[ashen condor]

"It's a bit of a change of plans, but Rogue Core will now be the name of the elven drink company you'll work for that produces Leaf Lovers"

[olive hound]

will Javier O'Neill (DRG Dwarves) be the voice of the Rogue Core Reclaimers?

[frank helm]

Hope they do a stream where they talk about what they took over from the lessons they learned while developing drg.
That stuff is always interesting to me.

[pure vessel]

Yes, he's still voicing the dwarves.

[olive hound]

🙏

[pure vessel]

I think we can talk about that in some of the streams. We often have Q&As

but it would have to be with either Mikkel or Mike I guess

Don't feel afraid to tune in and ask questions whenver we stream.

[frank helm]

Nice to know!

[median sleet]

So no new voice actors at all? Or is it something you're still deciding on

[ashen condor]

Sick. I'll show up and ask for everyone's credit card information

[pure vessel]

You wont' get any, so go ahead

[ashen condor]

Darn. Plan thwarted

[summer dew]

Hey fellas

Will we get any news on how the closed alpha will work

[pure vessel]

No. Javier is the voice of the dwarves.

[young vessel]

will rogue core have more references such as the HAMMER TIME reference in the barrel hoop and the various nemo-sis voicelines

[pure vessel]

No idea

[summer dew]

What

[young vessel]

o-tay

[hollow bear]

Will Javier also be voicing the apple?

[raven wharf]

Will the apple be a playable character?

[pure vessel]

Yes

[elfin monolith]

I'm rouging my core

No more glyphids? ☹️

[young vessel]

i wonder where the apple will be located

[pure vessel]

It was inside of you all a long.

[pure vessel]

Not in Rogue Core, no.

[young vessel]

🥹

[elfin monolith]

Quite a feat

Hopefully the apple was small

[ashen condor]

This explains why I've been walking funny and can't sit down

[stiff pagoda]

idk if i missed anything but is there any talks of rogue core being cross play?

[pure vessel]

No. DRG isn't crossplay either.

[ashen condor]

What's the hard part of adding crossplay?

[pure vessel]

I'm not techincal and I'm a huge fan of crossplay, but appearently it's the way the different platforms work across each other, but also there's times where DRG updates are out of sync between consoles and PC.

Can't remember the technicality, but it's not just adding it, it's also maintaining it, which costs money.

I think you'll have to ask programmers for a better answer, because I don't know.

I think there's a paragraph here that may also explain it better than I do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform_play#:~:text=One technical challenge that faces,protocols used by each service.

[ashen condor]

I wonder if it's because it's P2P instead of central servers then. I'd imagine that makes it harder

[pure vessel]

No idea, I think it's whether or not Sony and Microsoft allows it and the technical stuff. But I don't know, really.

[frank helm]

If rogue core is as optimated as drg, you all get a kiss on the cheek from me

I tire of 110gb uncompressed asset games

[pure vessel]

We haven't optimized it yet so I don't know the specs. However We'll try to keep the size small like DRG.

how low it is I don't know, but it won't be triple digits that's for sure.

[ashen condor]

Nice. I remember downloading DRG on steam and figuring the game was going to download more itself because it was only 3 GB. What a nice surprise when it didn't

[pure vessel]

I don't know how we get the game to be that tiny, honestly

[frank helm]

Wanting to try out call of duty and get hit with 160gb size was an experience

My conspiracy theory is that aaa games want to deplete your hard drive of space so you can't play too many games of other publishers

[ashen condor]

Sacrifices to the dark lord, I'd guess

[soft locust]

Have you considered adding little changes to weapon models depending on what elements they have? For instance: Having an M1000 get a small wire with electricity running along it or a small tank with sludge if the weapon has electricity and corrosion as elements. (Obviously they'd be small details). I think it would help make the weapons feel more unique and not oh ok here's another subata but it has fire instead of cold. (Sorry for the essay)

[pure vessel]

I think that audio is a big culprit in file size

[frank helm]

Interesting, how come?

[pure vessel]

Yes, we are looking into having some cool stuff such as modified trails, projectiles, etc.

But not model changes I don't think

[soft locust]

That's fire 🔥

[ashen condor]

I think it's to make their own load times faster, and they don't respect their player base so they can achieve their goal by just nuking your hard drive

[olive narwhal]

Uncompressed audio

[pure vessel]

We could maybe consider model changes later. It's up to the art director I guess. 🙂 If the trails and projectiels are different, then I'm personally happy.

[pure vessel]

I don't know. I think that DRG size is also mostly audio haha

[frank helm]

Do they play the gun sounds in flac or what

[pure vessel]

When they decided to set up the shader in the menu I'm just clocking out. That shit was also in Dead Island 2 and I just can't.

[soft locust]

Cool thanks.

[olive narwhal]

Probably not but the specfics are beyond me

[pure vessel]

No idea. It's up to the smart people to figure that out.

[long breach]

I thought game audio is .ogg or sth?

[ashen condor]

Shader compilation sucks, but it's an unfortunate reality. I liked the video on it for Bloodthief. Went into it in more detail

[frank helm]

If you guys ever want to make a vid about how game development works and how your different departments (game design, audio, programming, modeling) work together, I'd be thrilled

[frank helm]

Love how i can sink hundred hours into stardew valley that is like 20mb, but the modern 90gb games give you an average playtime of 8h and ask you to buy shit 5 times

[daring hill]

NGL I'm curious if there's anything planned to happen in rogue core that couldn't in DRG for one reason or another

Or at least experimented with

Obvious example here is a water biome of course

Or at least some form of
Water simulation

[raven wharf]

Technical. Debt.

[daring hill]

I mean it's not like that debt really exists now

Or at minimum is much lower

[raven wharf]

it does

[daring hill]

Tbh while i agree with the reasons for having rogue core be a new game, it would be odd to also say "oops sorry, but rogue core is not new enough to ever make it possible to consider this feature, because technical debt with DRG exists despite explicitly not being DRG and reworking things"

[tall plume]

that one example is literally never gonna happen tho

[daring hill]

I mean the reasoning for that was very much "we never thought of it early enough" was it not? And that was just one extreme example

[supple lichen]

Rouge core?
It plays dnd?

[raven wharf]

Oh I misread that. I swapped DRG and RC in my head. Water isn't going to happen, but there's still plenty of room for other things. Time will tell what can be added to RC. You'll see soon enough.

[hollow bear]

Rip Boolo Blast biome

[median sleet]

30 more minutes before iii, guess I'll drop everything and stare silently at my screen for the next 30 mins

I might miss it otherwise

[soft locust]

All I care about is the trailer and I dont know if they're gonna put it on YouTube right after the showcase

So I guess I'll be there

[tall plume]

no, the reasoning is "water physics + fully destructible terrain is terrible performance wise and nobody want to touch it even with a 10-foot pole" 😄

[daring hill]

Fair enough

[median sleet]

Yeah, the game would be a lot less accesable with water physics

My pc would not be able to handle it anymore

[tall plume]

the only way to have water happen in DRG is to have it enclosed in a fully undestructible pool - which could be detached from the ground and look pretty weird, so it's an option but not something they' really want to do, I think

because it could look very off with how the generation work

[daring hill]

The only game to ever have both (afaik) and not be grid based is noita, and that's with a custom engine built from scratch, and is of course pretty performance intensive IIRC

[tall plume]

yeah

[ashen condor]

I'm fine with no water physics as long as there is hyper-realistic beer physics (fizzics?). It's the most important feature

[violet tendon]

isn’t that grid-based? just the grid is really really small

[cosmic crane]

AAAAAA

[pallid beacon]

will the rouge core trailer be shown early into the stream? trying to tell if Im gonna miss it or not

[waxen grove]

guys

imagine if the trailer started with "the game is being delayed"

[loud heart]

rogue core... TOMORROW!!!!!!

[waxen grove]

how funny would that be

[abstract belfry]

See my above message

Dawwww mods deleted it

[waxen grove]

i saw

[lapis sequoia]

Sad I cannot watch. Work says ‘no’.

[ashen condor]

"Tomorrow only" and they release the game just to shut down the servers the next day

[abstract belfry]

The concord experience

[waxen grove]

delay rogue core into 2026

[pallid beacon]

aint no way rogue core is live service

[ashen condor]

That's what made it go Rogue

[abstract belfry]

Rogue core will be delayed by a day every day, and the only way to bring it closer to releasing is by accumulating 1000 error cubes on your account. Doing so brings rogue core 2 days closer to release.

[nova quiver]

T-5mins

[waxen grove]

turns out

we play as the early miners who all went missing

[lucid kestrel]

Don't know if it was a good move to frontload rogue core so early lol. I guess the katana zero people will have to wait longer

[humble venture]

Absolute cinema

[dense condor]

I so badly need this game

[robust yoke]

like how the tag line is still danger darkness dwarves wait what katana zero's also in the stream

Steam page

[amber tide]

Judging by the chat, a good chunk of people were there because of Rogue Core (or they were the most vocal ones), it felt great to not have to wait several trailers before it appeared

[teal ridge]

Omg. Yayy

[quaint dove]

Rogue Core is making me choose between being a melee character and being a tanky character and this is a very hard thing for me.

Youtube version of the rogue core trailer

[broken trail]

Im sticking around to watch the other games.

[eager pivot]

Caught me! It was all I showed up for.

[dense condor]

Did y'all see that big ass core spawn with like 6 arms

[daring hill]

It's unfortunate that there's no actual date though

[balmy garden]

Man, that looked significantly difficult than the base game, I want expecting that many changes

[daring hill]

Just "closed alpha is coming", no date

[supple lichen]

"Soon" is gud enough

[onyx rivet]

Originally all I showed up for was the rogue core trailer, but these other games look interesting too.

[jolly osprey]

Game looks good. Excited to play it

[balmy garden]

Silksong has had coming soon for like 5 years

[iron steppe]

HOW SOON IS SOON :(

[dense condor]

Ngl they can take as long as they need if it means a good product at the end

[onyx rivet]

I think they've mentioned in some of their updates, on their projected timeline, it's looking like 2026 for rogue core's release, so I would assume soon.

[sturdy mesa]

huge news chat

[supple lichen]

Well, now its pretty much confirmed to drop before september

[thin spire]

It looks so good

[crude fulcrum]

Take note closed alpha is Q2 confirmed. So at max 3 months

[rich halo]

Good. I need time to finish other games tbh

[soft locust]

Animations look fire

The BZZRD Dwarf does look Feminine

HOLY PEAK GUYS OMG

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT OH MY LORD

[eager pivot]

I've always felt DRG was a solid roguelite. The fact that we get to customize our build during missions has me wildly excited!

[soft locust]

Honestly kinda hoping for some spooky moments

[subtle lily]

I hope they look at our DRG Steam stats for alpha selection 😁

[onyx rivet]

I'm gonna wait for the official release. I screwed myself with the early access with Baldur's Gate to the point where I can't even get past the opening acts anymore. I've just done them so many times -_-

[sturdy mesa]

Rougelike core

[random laurel]

That's fire

[broken trail]

Woah

[dense condor]

Sounds like you've got 1000 hours lmao

[royal ice]

man I hope I make it to closed beta

[onyx rivet]

Same. I've got jumpscared from regular DRG, so more spook is nice.

[subtle lily]

Much, much more 😅

[thorn forum]

Yeah but also randomized games
How many morkite mining missions have you done

[lethal ore]

only 400 hours

[supple lichen]

Yeah that engineers face looks slim and feminine
Cant wait

[thin apex]

holy shit the drop pod is a laser drill

[random laurel]

Anyone got the trailer link?

[merry sonnet]

1000+ hours plus 100% achievements or no access lmao

[soft locust]

New weapons spotted. Look sick

[exotic oyster]

Did I just see a magic class?

[broken trail]

Wait Kurzgesagt made a game? Neat

[tulip ferry]

fair tho

[whole anchor]

https://youtu.be/-EfBOHWeaSo?si=UzUXLWY7ufyK4WI1

[dense condor]

How many people do you think will be given access to the game?

[supple lichen]

what

[light inlet]

"Swearing doesn't make it sound cool"

[exotic oyster]

lol

[broken trail]

Yeah it’s in the steam

[stray salmon]

100% this game takes at least 1,000 hours haha. Every beard, every overclock, accessory, achievement

[onyx rivet]

A lot. I think I have almost 400 hours now, and maybe 40 of those are co-op. The rest is solo.

[dense condor]

I got one achievement to go bro 💀

[broken trail]

Did yall immediately leave after rogue core?

Lmao

[supple lichen]

Yes.

[dense condor]

I feel bad for doing so but yeah

[soft locust]

I like how some of the weak spots were glowing red

[subtle lily]

Like factorio where you are called a beginner because you are just at around 1k-2k hours

[broken trail]

There’s some nice looking indies in here

[lilac frost]

sign up now? 👀

[thin apex]

2000 hours and 100%'d the game years ago + several hours in other roguelike games I wonder if that'll be enough

[crude fulcrum]

I'll check the other trailers when it's over lol. I'm not watching a 45 minute stream at midnight

[dense condor]

Love how it was a trailer for rogue core

[soft locust]

They should honestly have dark sections in the game and have you fight like that

[broken trail]

It’s so refreshing to see

[thin apex]

[steel hearth]

there's apparently interview n stuff after the show

[sturdy mesa]

It will probably be random because for playtests its important to have all kinds of players testing. Even people with 0 hours in the original drg.

[exotic oyster]

All I’m saying is I swear I saw some glove class that had magic powers, this game is going to be so hype.

[dire galleon]

Will the closed alpha just choose people at random is there like any criteria for getting in?

[vagrant scaffold]

What's "Rouge" Core?

[crisp nest]

Q4 early acess

[exotic oyster]

Also new incendiary weapon

[thorn forum]

You should play online more, the community is the best part of drg imo
It's so rarely malicious or griefy

[daring hill]

I hope the max amount of people is at least reasonably high

[vagrant scaffold]

People still don't get the name of the game right.

[dense condor]

Don't know yet im pretty sure

[supple lichen]

What does rogue even mean

[wild whale]

trailer is so peak

[daring hill]

Hopefully they'll talk about it later

[sturdy mesa]

is the playtest nda?

[wild whale]

core misbehavin

[thorny delta]

so someone got access to the game?

[dense condor]

The bat woman from sonic

[onyx rivet]

For sure. And I like the times I've played online, it's just that sometimes I've needed to be able to be AFK, and that's not possible if you're not in solo mode.

[sturdy matrix]

But why is the Core a Rogue? Does it even know how to play that class?

[vagrant scaffold]

Phrases
go rogue — behave erratically or dangerously, especially by disregarding the rules or the usual way of doing something.
"leaders going rogue at press conferences can mean you have a serious problem"

[random laurel]

Thnx g

[teal ridge]

Mooooo

[sturdy mesa]

it all comes from the original 80s video game "Rogue" = Rougelike

[supple lichen]

I swear it was spelled rouge

[thorn forum]

I'd argue it's barely possible solo too with it spawning waves

[subtle lily]

DRG lore, graphics and weapons combined with a rogue like/lite has infinite potential

[crude fulcrum]

I doubt that's very enforcible lol. If they wanted an nda they wouldn't advertise a closed alpha

[vagrant scaffold]

No, that one IS "Rouge" hahah.

[soft locust]

I think all the enemies basically spam sneak attack and then bonus action dash so it makes sense

[indigo zenith]

I don't think I saw how to opt into the closed Alpha. it's not pinned here, either

[sinful idol]

is this a dwarf girl with a steel bird?

[olive narwhal]

Steam

[supple lichen]

Check steam

[sturdy matrix]

Like Rouge the Bat?

[onyx rivet]

It's not too bad. As long as you hit escape and pull up the menu it actually pauses the game.

[sturdy matrix]

I think that got you confused

[supple lichen]

Rouge Rogue
I cant spell

[exotic oyster]

Wait I need to rewatch, did they add female body frames?

[median yoke]

PLEASE GHOST SHIP GIVE ME ROGUE CORE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[supple lichen]

Wrong dev

[subtle lily]

That’s only fair and the best for the game, I was just joking 😉

[supple lichen]

Lmao

[thorn forum]

I mostly play online, my stats are essentially inverse of yours lol
Didn't know it'd pause the game

[soft locust]

Wrong company

[south kiln]

ARROWHEAD?

[median yoke]

SHIT

[dense condor]

Do you think people that have beta access will be able to push for their steam friends to get access too? I feel like ghost ship might want to push playing with your friends

[median yoke]

SORRY LMAO

[sinful idol]

I'm not sure but it looks like it

[soft locust]

You're not getting the game now that's for sure

[exotic oyster]

Ghost ship my beloved please with this early access.

[supple lichen]

From the makers of HELLDIVERS 2:

HELLDIVERS: ROUGE EARTH

[onyx rivet]

Yeah I figured that out the first time I played with some friends.

[median yoke]

NOOOOOO

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-banished-meme-funny-bye-gif-27015086

[median yoke]

i was too excited lmao

[whole anchor]

To the depths with ye

[supple lichen]

but arrowhead does owe us a hd2 update

[onyx rivet]

Btw I can't wait for the frame by frame analysis of the trailer lol.

[subtle lily]

THIS.
If one gets an invite, it should include a +3 batch of invites for your mates

[exotic oyster]

The body type does look different. I need more analysis

[median yoke]

oh I'm abt to do that myself lol
meticulously analyzing every milissecond of the trailer

[crude fulcrum]

The referral invites don't get referrals themselves I presume?

[sturdy matrix]

[whole lark]

i dont think that would happen for the closed alpha

[onyx rivet]

Woo!

[scarlet juniper]

imagine how flooded they must be with access requests right now lol

[subtle lily]

Would be great for beta though

[median yoke]

I need all and any rogue core crumbs I can get

[sturdy matrix]

If anything I'd guess it could be alike to Deadlock's

[soft locust]

Do that.

[exotic oyster]

The biggest things I saw was the mag incendiary mission, the new objectives, AND A MAGIC CLASS

[sturdy mesa]

Crawlers are scary

gona shoot em

[whole lark]

yup

[onyx rivet]

It's gonna be rad.

[supple lichen]

And a really female looking engineer

[sturdy matrix]

Like you choose a friend to recommend so they get an invite, but it's an alpha

So probably not

[whole lark]

yeah i also noticed that

[red vault]

Just saw the rogue core trailer, how does one gets access to the closed alpha?

[supple lichen]

Check steam

[vagrant scaffold]

So how many of us are going to cosplay the Rogue Core trailer dwarves in DRG? Some of the cosmetics shown there are from DRG.

[real aurora]

Steamy weamy

[whole lark]

steam page has a "request access" button

[soft locust]

Guys I saw gameplay in the trailer. This is incredible. Can't believe they showed that

[thin apex]

And now we wait for closed alpha, good luck!

[little sail]

applying was so easy...

[onyx rivet]

For those wanting to request access to Rogue Core: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/

You're welcome

[red vault]

Oh shit

[sturdy matrix]

But where's Karl?

[red vault]

I'm clicking that rn

[clear notch]

Yippeee

[supple lichen]

Survivor is here too in the stream

[daring hill]

Two things:

1. I hope they talk about how closed exactly the closed alpha will be. 50 people? 100 people? 250, 500, 1000? It'd be nice to have some range so you can get excited or not
2. I really hope soon is like, in april, and not late June or something

[sturdy mesa]

yall not getting into the playtest

[remote terrace]

We might

[sturdy matrix]

[plush knot]

you arent with that attitude

[remote terrace]

I mean, some people have to

[little sail]

he's at home, we're in the process of getting remarried.

[somber oyster]

get 100k followers and you will get the test

[scarlet horizon]

Imagine if karl gets resurrected in rouge core that'd be funny as hell

[sturdy matrix]

Give ghostship more money, maybe you'll get in (give them more money eitherway is a good option too)

[sturdy mesa]

But Karl isnt real

[whole lark]

their roadmap says april, may and june

[scarlet horizon]

Filthy green beard

[hollow bear]

He was at one point

[plush knot]

karl is real in my heart

[sturdy matrix]

Karl is my uncle actually

So he's real

[daring hill]

Well yeah, that's why I hope it's in April and not at the absolute end of Q2

[scarlet horizon]

Karl has always been real. Don't disrespect my man karl

[whole lark]

they also say that the closed alpha will be multiple week-long sessions, so i assume it'll be from april to june

[finite laurel]

I imagine it's not quite that closed, gotta have a decent sample size

[devout flint]

did one of the dwavers have a new character model or Am I tripping?

[whole lark]

yeah

at least i think so

[devout flint]

Maybe too soon to say but...

[daring hill]

Huh, when did they say that? I assumed closed alpha was simply early access, just earlier and with the explicit intention for you to provide feedback and report bugs, rather than specific periods where you get access

[devout flint]

Female dwarves?

[hollow bear]

Mayhaps

[vagrant scaffold]

I wish I could find the post again but I remember one of the devs saying the amount of people on it would not be very large.

[sturdy mesa]

would that mean new voices

[vagrant scaffold]

Found it.

[devout flint]

From the times the devs discussed female dwarves... pretty much

[median yoke]

oh my lordt even if I don't get early access I NEED the soundtrack that plays PLEASE

[whole lark]

checked the roadmap and it says it will **likely ** run over sever week-long sessions, so they are probably still deciding on when and how it will happen

[minor pecan]

game looked fire

[novel aurora]

I did my part, i have signed up for the alpha bcs im based

[worn wave]

the music is soooo goood

[worn wave]

well then, best of luck to everyone.

[cobalt siren]

Rock and stone?

[sturdy mesa]

Who built all the elevators and machines in deep core

[daring hill]

Maybe a better question: is it bigger than what DRG had? (I don't know how big DRG's closed alpha was)

I assume they'd want it bigger since it's a known property, and it'd weird to have it at some notably low number despite announcing it so publicly?

Idk, feels like you'd announce closed alpha with a low amount of people in a tweet or discord post, and then later make this whole trailer and announce it with a lot more people more openly and publicly

[dense condor]

Rock and stone. I hope EVERYONE HERE gets an invite

[subtle lily]

The question now is, will the DRG Mug or the alpha access arrive first

[finite laurel]

DRG’s was basically not closed at all AFAIK since it wasn’t on people’s radars yet

[dawn cosmos]

Oh my gray ass is definitely gonna main the sword dwarf, ROCK AND STONEEEE

[vagrant inlet]

hey guys, is there a way to join the waitlist for the alpha?

[quartz zephyr]

SAME BROTHER 🫡

[robust thunder]

I clicked the link in the email and it just says I've successfully signed up but I definitely didn't haha

[whole lark]

the steam page has a "request access" button

[green shore]

gimme that OST

[daring hill]

OK here we go, a blog post.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/524214108323577888?l=english

[sweet dagger]

hope i get in

[merry jewel]

hyped

[safe trail]

It looks awesome! My only wish is that this game is a litte better on optimization. DRG was eating my PC away without some mods and lowering graphics.

[spring osprey]

I wonder if any of the weapons are gonna be available in DRG at some point

[balmy roost]

any idea if rogue core will have multiple mission types

[spring osprey]

well theres probably gonne be different objectives throughout the run

[olive narwhal]

Its probably gonna have higher minimum requirements but they did fix the particles

[safe trail]

Could be. They also said DRG rouge will get a discount if you have DRG

[spring osprey]

awesome

[olive narwhal]

Probably not

[exotic oyster]

while I would love that in concept, I'm not 100% confident as they would most likely need to add 8 new weapons at once, and with over 30 weapon skins and rougly 48 overclocks to go with it, I don't see much hope in the near future.

[safe trail]

It's a rougelite game. I guess it can be a lot worse xD

[exotic oyster]

also 240 total skins.

[spring osprey]

yeah same. But it would be nice. as a little treat

[visual lantern]

Hello guys, how do you think, how much Rogue Core will cost?

[earnest fulcrum]

The soundtrack for rogue core already is great

[median yoke]

help I'm re-watch the trailer to check on the stuff, but every time I get to when the beat drops I can't pause cuz I wanna listen to it help

[safe trail]

Not decided yet. But If you own DRG, DRG ROUGE will get a discount no matter the price.

[exotic oyster]

my guess at launch between 30-40 USD. however early access and the discount I could see it going down.

[visual lantern]

oh, that`s great

[whole lark]

its might be fairly easy to mod them in

[minor pecan]

any idea when its being released ?

[tall plume]

pinned messages for info

[whole lark]

idk if they'd make rogue core more expensive than drg (drg is $30 rn)

[acoustic tiger]

it was mid

[minor pecan]

ty

[spring osprey]

Early access might be in Q4 this year

[sinful yew]

Sooo, I have a question
Will we see any glyphids in DRG:RC?

[fickle abyss]

when will alpha participants be reached out to? (rough estimate)

[tall plume]

https://youtu.be/-EfBOHWeaSo

[acoustic tiger]

felt nothing watching the trailer and showed barely any gameplay

[neat acorn]

no

[thin apex]

Nope

[sinful yew]

That's sad

[fickle abyss]

probably not

[neat acorn]

we will be fighting horrors beyond dwarven comprehension instead

[tall plume]

no info

[spring osprey]

would be cool to get a steeve as a beastmaster perk or something like that

[sinful yew]

I already miss stalker(tho I hate it)

[safe trail]

DRG events were awesome to witness, I hope DRG ROUGE has some massive events and boss fights etc etc.

[neat acorn]

from the blog post: We expect to launch the first phase of our Closed Alpha playtests within a month

[exotic oyster]

which to be fair, Deep Rock game out over 5 years ago. Which is why I guessed between 30-40 USD since everything has gotten more expensive. To compensate a discount from 40 down to 30 because you own DRG would make sense. They gotta keep the lights on.

[neat acorn]

Pounce noticed me

[whole lark]

true, i didnt think of that

[exotic oyster]

time ti actively stalk my inbox.

[safe trail]

DRG is 15 bucks for me tho

I bought DRG for about 1.5 dollars back in the day

[inner linden]

I really wanna get in

[whole lark]

regional pricing, its $30 in the US

[quartz zephyr]

i got it on steam sale for 3 euro lol

[safe trail]

Yeah

[late phoenix]

how the freak do i get into the closed alpha

[safe trail]

ik ik

[neat acorn]

I assume its going to be Indie Game Pricing™️. So something around DRG's regular price

[quartz zephyr]

steam page

[tall plume]

sign up on the store page, then wait

[lilac heart]

Request access on RC’s steam page

[inner linden]

U don't, no yea steam page or gmails

[whole lark]

yeah probably

Can someone send me the link for signing I am way too lazy rn

[spring osprey]

steam page

[exotic oyster]

Religously stalking that inbox and praying for early access, I can't wait.

[safe trail]

too lazy to click steam

[quartz zephyr]

bruh😂

[safe trail]

https://tenor.com/view/yaya-mijo-ya-ya-ya-mijo-ya-gif-5880132528227695738

:(

@whole lark i love you

magical cactus finna drop some big text

still waiting for it

[quartz zephyr]

yeah 😂

[exotic oyster]

I was ready to put in a whole resume for early access, time for me to go rewatch the trail 1,000 times over and act like a monkey addicted to red sugar...

[quartz zephyr]

i was looking at that

sounds good

[safe trail]

I might be wrong, but with my recent calculations and precise thinking, you might be waiting for DRG rouge

[quartz zephyr]

what gives you this impression?

[finite laurel]

Yeah I was half expecting an application process but there's probably so many people signing up it would take forever to go through

[sacred depot]

but, there will be more RC?

[whole lark]

idk, i think they might be talking about something else

[safe trail]

my recent calculations and precise thinking

[finite laurel]

I wonder what the selection process will be, though

[quartz zephyr]

ah right, my bad

[onyx rivet]

Anyone else gonna watch the aftershow?

[safe trail]

my recent calculations and precise thinking

[lime kettle]

selection should be by how long RC has been on wishlist imo

[onyx rivet]

apparently there's gonna be gameplay exclusives?

[plush knot]

probably random (wrong reply sry)

[tidal crane]

When we get more dwarfs with implants can we get one that Is just the RGB lighting dwarf

[neat acorn]

I still think its going to be a trial by combat IRL

[lime kettle]

not a bad idea either

[rotund root]

If that's so i'll def get in i love roguelikes and roguelites

[safe trail]

But in any case, the trailer looks f*ckin sick, I will be definetly waiting for DRG rouge

[hollow bear]

I'd pay to see that

[neat acorn]

absolutely

[whole lark]

1v1ning the irl lootbug

[safe trail]

yeah fr fr you speak facts

[heavy coral]

I think its going to be random, I think it would make more sense to be weighted towards hours on DRG though

[summer dew]

I have 1k hours i hope I get in 🙏

(I probably wont)

[safe trail]

thank you broskie 👊

[lime kettle]

prioritized by number of DLC packs owned and kickstarter mugs aquired

[young vessel]

i have an insider at GSG HQ who told me its based on how quickly you can solve mark's riddles three

[lime kettle]

love me daddy

[summer dew]

Iirc rogue core is like in the top 50 wishlisted games on steam rn

[neat acorn]

oh no I am terrible at riddles

[quartz zephyr]

where is the riddle

where can you find it i mean

[tribal delta]

DAMN THAT TRAILER WAS COOL AS HELL I wanna play already 8c

[hollow bear]

That's the first step of the riddle

Finding it

[upper nest]

So uh
Warthog in Rogue Core

💀

[junior mountain]

So is that a lady dwarf with the hawk then?

[wanton skiff]

I'm sorry GSG💔 ... i couldn't get enough money to buy Skullcrusher dlc... please forgive me🙏 💔

[safe trail]

I don't like riddles

[safe trail]

kratos ahh line

[whole lark]

i think all the drg weapons are in rogue core

[rotund root]

Chat place your predictions on how good rc will be

I'll go first: 11/10

[summer dew]

Whats wrong

[quartz zephyr]

those who know

[upper nest]

Hope it isn't a dead pick on arrival
The weapons look great though

[latent raptor]

That Trailer was so good

[north steeple]

I cant believe GSG would do this to me, now I'm even more excited for Rouge Core and I'm running out of games to play while I wait 😭

[weary marsh]

Kaaaarl! Grant me early Access, and my life is yours!! For Rock and Stone!!

[safe trail]

I think deep rock galactic and deep rock galactic rouge might have some things in common

[wanton skiff]

I bet the new weapon paintjob will be in Season 6

[weary marsh]

I mean. . .Maybe? They do look a wee bit similar

[whole lark]

nah no way

[quartz zephyr]

i dont think so

[safe trail]

nah the dwarves looks the same nothin' else

[quartz zephyr]

i mean myabe the rock and stone part

[scenic ravine]

the same but all new and roguelike

[manic nacelle]

HYPE CANT WAIT!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[weary marsh]

They must include it, absolutely

[quartz zephyr]

omg the dwarves🥲 , do you guys how they look?

[young vessel]

im pretty sure the terrain is all soot and dirt

[quartz zephyr]

like how they*

[safe trail]

It is a rock & stone day for all of us with the GSG blessing us with this amazing looking game

[civic sleet]

the enemies look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

[safe trail]

stony rock pro skater 3 said calmly.

[hollow bear]

Trailer music is 🧑‍🍳 💋

[quaint dove]

I was torn between if I wanted to play Guardian or Slicer more... but then I really liked the Slicer look in the trailer.

[upper nest]

I hope the balance of the weapons and equipment are kept in mind

[exotic oyster]

I want whatever that glove thing is.

[native monolith]

Yooooooo rogue core alpha

[civic sleet]

i am very normal about these character designs

[plush flame]

I need the new ost NOW

[exotic oyster]

I would imagine so with how well balanced the DRG weapons are, except you Subata.

[safe trail]

well that ''hnnngg'' didn't looked normal

[quaint dove]

I've wanted more dedicated melee across all of my 100s of hours of DRG and now they give it to me.

[upper nest]

...you're missing like 4 weapons

[north steeple]

PLEASE KARL LET ME BE A RECLAIMER

[quartz zephyr]

if you dont react like that it means you dont rock and stone like

[safe trail]

FOR KARL!

[quaint dove]

Only way I could be more pumped up is if they let me just punch things.

[quartz zephyr]

FOR KARLL!!!

[fierce prairie]

Holy peak

wait wait wait, the icon of the Cave Crawlers resembles the Core Stone Crawler's head, and they both have crawler in the name

[quartz zephyr]

trigger words:
karl
rock and stone

[upper nest]

But yeah
The trailer and music are good

[acoustic shell]

I have requested access to the playtest and now we wait. I’m so excited for this game, I wanna just buy it rn even tho it’s an alpha test.

[finite laurel]

The beginning stages of development

[silver karma]

is there a form to fill out after requesting access or are we just going to have to hope to get in by random chance?

[warm badge]

ROCK AND STONE!

[native monolith]

Chance

[quartz zephyr]

chat he is cooking

[silver karma]

ah, i see, ty

[quartz zephyr]

random chance i think?

[finite laurel]

There’s going to be years of development and updates before this game is confirmed to be complete in its 1.0 phase

[native monolith]

If we manifest hard enough by chanting rock and stone I’m sure we will all get in

[upper nest]

Cautiously optimistic

[warped wadi]

STONE and ROCK!... Oh wait...

[wanton oar]

Did they skip it?

[silver karma]

WE ROCK!!

[warm badge]

[quartz zephyr]

STONE!

[wanton oar]

ROCK AND STONE!!

[heavy coral]

From the blog post Next week, we’ll share an FAQ blog post (as well as a video interview) where we give more details about the Closed Alpha and how it’ll work.

So we will find out next week

[silver karma]

i somehow did not see that, that's good info

[upper nest]

Still though, I'd like it to be kept in mind throughout development

[quartz zephyr]

guess the words: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[heavy coral]

Yeah I didn't see it at first either I think they edited the post

[quartz zephyr]

oh nvm u cant see the underscores

[native monolith]

I like that the charge blaster has had ANOTHER rework

This thing had had like 5 different states so far

[thin spire]

Is it BUZZARD or BZZRD?

[safe trail]

500 more reworks

[oblique crow]

I have like 900 hours in DRG I hope I get to playtest

[thin spire]

I'll need a tutorial on how to sign up for it when I get the chance.

[safe trail]

If only you could get a better chance to get the playtest depending on your hours...

[quaint dove]

You literally just open the steam page for Rogue Core and there is a request access button.

[crystal echo]

Lets go. This looked so damn cool. Hopefully soon really means soon haha

[vagrant scaffold]

From what I've seen in the trailer, here's a suggestion on how to make RC even better:

Remove the flares. Leave only the flare gun.

[native monolith]

Button on steam

[thin spire]

Oh, Okay.

[finite laurel]

Neither. Those names were jokes

The abilities are real, the names aren’t

[vagrant scaffold]

Or severely nerf the flares in comparison to DRG standards. Make the game dim and terrifying.

[bold hawk]

Watch them hide a secret code for rouge core in the new DRG update

[quartz zephyr]

remove flares completely? 🤯

[thin spire]

It'd make sense if they were though, because SPOTTER seems pretty legit for a name.

[exotic oyster]

Okay, on my deep watch, I saw an "ammo box", as well as a personal upgrade area and I did notice that the shield meter stated 0/0. So I think the pick will have an option to resupply. On top of that there does seem to be a time limit so you have to make sure people are with you when you grab upgrades. The Bridge looks sick but I'm worried about a Dwarf slipping off while drunk. I see a light post which is new, and an event similar to Kursite. Impact Radiance looks like we'll have a build that you can run around and just light things on fire or freeze them, most likely a class pick. I see a new revolver gun and what looks to be an upgraded coil gun. at Roughly 1:08 in the trailer looks like a magic item. This is my deep dive analysis.

[shut cipher]

yup, Rouge is 1000 times better than survivor

[vagrant current]

So, does this we have women?

[finite laurel]

I thought so too but a dev came into this channel and confirmed they were made up just for that video

[wanton skiff]

woman class when

[vagrant scaffold]

No. Leave the flare gun (it's shown in the trailer). Or make the regular flares much less powerful.

[quartz zephyr]

ima go schizo because of waht you said, ima start searching the whole rig now

[safe trail]

☝️ 🤓

[pale kindle]

I signed up for that early access as soon as the trailer ended, I'm so fuckin hype

[whole lark]

asking the real questions

[bold hawk]

love spreading chaos

[safe trail]

now this is some real question

[thin spire]

Dang, that's actually impressive that the acronym was all thought out just for that.

[fierce prairie]

There's a lot of ebonite in the trailer

[quartz zephyr]

rock and stone?

[bold hawk]

STONE AND ROCK

[whole lark]

Rock and Stone!

[hollow comet]

Guys, ROCK AND STONE So hyped for the upcoming alpha!

[finite laurel]

Proof

[rough field]

Elite reclaimers not having basic miner equipment would be strange

Though GSG could have a blast from the past and make it so that even thrown flares are limited in supply; the limitation explainable by the fact that sleek Reclaimer gear doesn't allow to carry as much supplies as bulky miner suit with flare recharging generator

[quartz zephyr]

i dont know about women but i do know a lot about ROCK AND STONE!!@

[fierce prairie]

rocks and stones may break my bones, but beer will never hurt me

[whole lark]

ur feeling poetic today

[bold hawk]

will there be beer in rouge core?

[autumn yoke]

This could be cool

[safe trail]

I love me some gut wrecker beer

[whole lark]

there better be

[native monolith]

On a second watch the new things I saw are: I believe we saw a spotter alternate ability, a fully new weapon, some animations for weapons we knew about, a lot more machinery, class identity/cosmetics, a little bit of core biome, a few new perks, probably more but I have to go back to school now

[quartz zephyr]

just want to piont out the one of the moderators is playing rogue core, that is just 😤

[native monolith]

I’ll try and break it down later today

[vagrant scaffold]

Plenty of ingame story explanations can be made to account for any changes in gameplay. No worries.

[safe trail]

rock and stone without beer is not a rock in stone in my book

so they BETTER include it in

I cannot type today ☠️

[quartz zephyr]

and books are not rock and stone so it better just be beer and rocks(and stones)

[bold hawk]

I am never able to type

[latent gale]

We are actually doing a bait and switch, it is ACTUALLY a lootbug kissing simulator we are releasing 😌🙏

[compact shard]

I hope I was early enough to the sign up to be considered, the game looks great and I love the concept

[safe trail]

I NOT TYPE

[safe trail]

hell yeah

[safe trail]

WILL THERE BE ALSO BEERS IN THE GAEM

[young vessel]

is it in-game lootbug or real life lootbug

[whole lark]

YES FINALLY

[quartz zephyr]

can i be the lootbug

[void gate]

This is taken as gospel now by the masses. You will not live this down

[native monolith]

LETS GOOOOOO

[bold hawk]

Is the last Swedish man dead at Ghost ship to the loot bug yet?

[wanton skiff]

will you release a dating dlc next?

[weary marsh]

I think he still alive

[dark gull]

I will be pre-ordering this. I trust the developers enough to pre-order a game in big 2025

(if possible)

[quartz zephyr]

co-op ?

[whole lark]

no preoders yet

[safe trail]

ur profile will be me when I see them lootbug cheeks 💯

[quartz zephyr]

new perk: make a lootbug friendly and it will bring you nitra and gold 🤯 , chat opinions?

[safe trail]

Bro just casually said it is going to be a lootbug kissing simulator, refused to elaborate, and left. Truly a giga chad.

[whole lark]

[dark gull]

gotta get the one i used for cookie clicker out

[bold hawk]

wait companions in rouge core would be a nice replacement or alternative to bosco

[late wing]

i would pay to see that made as an april fools joke next year

[quartz zephyr]

good bye man, rock and stone them

[bold hawk]

remove there rock and stone privileges

[native monolith]

Rock and stone!

[merry sonnet]

The sigma's leaving nooooo

[plush flame]

wonder if we can
rock on stone in this new game

[native monolith]

The resolute. The relentless. The reclaimers!

[quartz zephyr]

hmmm

[native monolith]

Rogue and core! Oh wait

[fierce prairie]

I'm killing bugs and shit cuz I'm in fucking hoxxes

[rough field]

I mean
Flares are not just basic miner equipment but almost a necessity for situational orientation for all but the greyest beards

Though I see a trend that not only gear aesthetic of reclaimers vs miners is sleek vs bulky but also the choice of equipment
Reclaimers in the trailer have either sidearms wielded with one hand or medium guns wielded with two but aimed down the sights near eye level

3 out of 4 miners are typically seen bringing chainsaw grip BFGs into battle impossible to aim from anywhere but the hip

[merry sonnet]

Was confirmed on the steam page that you indeed can

[bold hawk]

core gone rouge? well that is new

[plush flame]

dope

wonder if the new game has tea or beer

[native monolith]

Most reclaimer gear is high tech and laser/electric I’ve noticed

[timber dove]

what was their "special announcement" was it also something rogue core related? missed the stream

[native monolith]

Most (new) guns we’ve seen are lasers

[quartz zephyr]

gun go brr any way

[dark gull]

molly decided to go on strike so we'll have to pick up the slack

[lilac heart]

Only Leaf Lover’s Specials

[late wing]

because lasers are cool

[bold hawk]

when i get my hands on this game, i will play 25 hours in one day, don't ask me how i just will

[fierce prairie]

The first 3 capital letters of the teaser trailer yt link is EBO, clearly alluding to ebonite
What could ghost ship mean by this

[native monolith]

Indeed they are

[worn burrow]

WE'LL BE HERE DAY ONEEEEE

[quartz zephyr]

eRock bAnd oStone

[timber dove]

bump lol

[bold hawk]

EBOla?

[native monolith]

Anyways gotta run, I’ll be back later for trailer analysis

[balmy locust]

EBORockpox

[quartz zephyr]

may the rocks and stones be with you

[bold gorge]

there was the video depicting new games, among which was a trailer for the rogue core game. If you've already seen the trailer for rogue core, it is the same

[quartz zephyr]

and karl

[pliant trench]

Ebony armor

[whole lark]

drink 5 5-hour energies to unlock the 25th hour

[fluid jacinth]

The stuff reclaimers have is so much higher tech.

[bold hawk]

EBOnuts

[fluid jacinth]

I really like the drop pod having lazer on it to break up the rock before the drill part hits

[quartz zephyr]

i also thought that was cool

[whole lark]

yeah thats one of the differences i noticed, the designs of all the equipment is way higher tech almost resembling Rival tech

[rough field]

High tech is one thing
Bulky and heavy is another

DRAK is techy but not bulky
Thunderhead is bulky but not techy
Breach Cutter is both techy and bulky
Boomstick is neither techy nor bulky

[bold hawk]

so what is the drill used for?

[balmy locust]

So no actual date for the alpha test I assume? I'm sure I'm jumping the gun but I'm just super excited.

[bold gorge]

I wonder if it's going to be a roguelite in that small improvements can be made as a result of doing well in each run (almost certainly not to the extent of DRG is now though)

[quartz zephyr]

wow

[vagrant scaffold]

The primary aim of my suggestion is to make the game feature lower lighting levels. This can also be achieved by nerfing regular throwable flares and by decreasing natural lighting sources. Ever tried playing DRG without your flashlight? That by itself is already quite the change.
I don't want to make players have to prick their eyes to move but I would like RC to be more on the dark/horror side. They've already got suitable enemies for that.

[fierce prairie]

It's soon...,,,

[quartz zephyr]

can not compute kind of question

[lilac heart]

See the first two pins in this channel

[bold gorge]

just signed up for alpha testing

[whole lark]

does the new drop pod have a drill, i didnt see one in the trailer

[vagrant scaffold]

Have my money.

[balmy locust]

I always forget to check pins, thanks 😊

[ashen condor]

They have revealed it will be released on a day ending in y

[fluid jacinth]

Maybe the drill is in use at the lower density rock and as the drill gets deeper the lazers activate. Also the lazers are probably on a limited life time so would make sense to just have the drills dig the softer rock to save lazer power

[rough field]

Having to be conscious with flare expenditure due to limited supply would already give quite a lot of room for uncertainty in the dark

[bold hawk]

within a month, so ether today or today +1 or today +3 or...

[plush flame]

lazer mining :ooOoo

[rough field]

But yeah that sounds like a worthy sentiment to emphasise the darkness aspect

[bold hawk]

as long as they remove the leaches if it is that dark

[plush flame]

hope the game is darker
like no flare gun

[plush flame]

lets get ground leeches instead!

[fluid jacinth]

I assume we have stronger flash lights but flares are rarer.

[bold hawk]

well no flair modifier would be fun

[next crater]

April Fool’s!

[merry sonnet]

SAY SIKE

[young vessel]

aw man i hate the 9 days late april fools prank!!!

[bold hawk]

No lootbug dating?

[young vessel]

i get fooled by it EVERY TIME!!!

[fluid jacinth]

The description for that modifier is just "Some dumbass confused the sandwichs supply with flares"

[plush flame]

jacob are you a playable character in the new game

[vagrant scaffold]

btw. Suggestion here for everyone:

I've just went into the Steam store page for Rogue Core and, on the "Popular user defined tags", and added/voted for the tag "Horror". I feel this is an accurate tag for the game and will attract a lot more potential players for the playerbase. I hope more people do the same.

[raven ledge]

will rogue core be optimized for computers like 2018

[bold hawk]

well at least you can eat the sandwiches

[whole lark]

so instead of a flare you throw a sandwich

[lilac heart]

The only April Fool’s joke is you nickname, Jacob, and it’s 9 days late, and the trailer is already out /j /pos

[merry sonnet]

Jacob should be the new Mission Control

[ashen condor]

He's a playable character in real life, but it's a unique class lobby

[bold gorge]

I like the idea that you could choose to make the game more difficult, for more reward or something.

[fierce prairie]

Is it known how many ppl will get in the alpha

[dusky badger]

hey bro, i'm pretty busy the next two months. can you not start the playtest until i get back? appreciate it.

[next crater]

In spirit, since I am fat and short in real life.

[plush flame]

[merry sonnet]

Peak male figure

[fluid jacinth]

Optimal physique

[next crater]

No promises, but I’ll try

[lapis stream]

yeah same here, a two month delay would be great

[young vessel]

there is a chosen one that the entire dev team will monitor

[plush flame]

the fat actually allows more aerodynamics so better caving

[dusky badger]

okay thanks for delaying it for me!

[next crater]

Only thing peaking is my receding hairline

[abstract wren]

Is the link up to sign up for closed alpha?

[vagrant scaffold]

#drg-chat message

[fluid jacinth]

Cushion for falling + thermo regulation

[quartz zephyr]

looool

[rough field]

Actually, question

Why in Rogue Core the yellow guy is a precision skirmisher and the blue guy is a melee specialist?

[fierce prairie]

thanks!

[bold hawk]

Basic Copenhagen citizen

[plush flame]

so we have sova from valorant with the drone
the cod 3 specialist blade guy
and two other dwarves that idk what they do

truly spectacular classes

[raven ledge]

@next crater will rogue core be optimized?

[rough field]

Walking tank and walking toyota hilux ZU-23 edition

[fierce prairie]

Massive lore implications

[next crater]

For fun? Yes

[bold hawk]

rouge core... the core is quite sane compared to driller

[raven ledge]

no i mean fps wise

[plush flame]

jacob if my pc can run drg can it run rogue core

[young vessel]

fun per second, yes

[vagrant scaffold]

Because the blue guy is gonna be fast and s p e e d just like the scout.

[raven ledge]

yes this is what i mean

[worn wave]

considering they're in alpha and stuff, it's likely too early to judge

[finite laurel]

One makes a repulsion wall and a concussive melee attack, the other shoots a burst of darts with slowing/weakening effects

[daring hill]

Hey, is the post-show RC showcase still happening? Just want to check

[quartz zephyr]

or thats what they want us to think?🤨

[next crater]

It will be a bit more demanding than DRG, but we honestly haven’t looked into that yet

[fierce prairie]

You will have to constantly be playing rival signal minigame
Otherwise your pc explodes

[safe rivet]

I don't see the rogue core trailer in the youtube stream, can anyone give me a timestamp to it?

[worn wave]

there's the trailer seperately on gsg's channel (and steam page!)

[fluid jacinth]

Its also just out on their channel

[finite laurel]

Check the GSG channel

[rough field]

I mean
Driller is also s p e e d
Just measured through rocks and guts, huge guts

[bold hawk]

nah you need to do hacksys job or it explodes

[plush flame]

both games do look similar so curious on what advancements in maybe lighting, gen, more detailed terrarin and such are there

[flat pebble]

Yo where do I sign up for the closed alpha for rogue core?

[raven ledge]

i feel like optimization makes or breaks some games. marvel rivals did worse than it could have due to a lack of support for computers older than 4 years

[worn wave]

steam

[raven ledge]

steam page i beleive

[whole lark]

same engine tho (UE4)

[worn wave]

at least it's not ue5

[raven ledge]

ue4 is much better than ue5 ngl

[finite laurel]

Can’t expect too much optimization on an alpha

[raven ledge]

cause ue5 is so un optimized

[gaunt bronze]

The gauntlets in the trailer look different from the April Fool’s video, are the ones in the trailer the un-updated versions?

[bold gorge]

For the triple i initiative 2025 video? 19:33
