The two games are completely separate.
Hey, anybody here know when Elsie Lovelock's voice was implemented for Falconer? Since I'm not in the playtest, I don't think I have access to patch notes (if there are any).
Along with retcon's implementation. I think... alpha 4?
Yes, alpha 4
Thanks. Do you have a source for that you can share? I'm touching up some Rogue Core articles on the wiki currently.
I think steam blog has it? I just doubt I can share the entire changelog from a hidden channel over to here
Y'know what, it's probably fine without a source on the wiki for the time being. Thanks again.
looks cool, but I wonder how are they going to add potentially more classes to this design?
I guess they could makes the "shrines" to each class smaller, so that the next one fits
I was thinking the same thing
space rig memorial hall type design with more room for statues would maybe fit better
they could maybe add more to the sides of this hall
the other side way image shows that there's some room for 2 more classes
agreed
yeah, I liked the one with dwarven statues more
Memorial hall is lookin great I will miss the over the top golden statues that took 60% of the companies budget for 4 years reducing our payment for years
I don't think gold is worth that much
it isn't be we also aren't paid that much either
Mining operations on Hoxxy so inflated market with gold that you could probably use it as paper weight
The dev peek even states that it's WIP. I doubt we're going to just get gold colored icons for the final product.
It doesn't look that bad
I like gold on dark
I would like the memorial to do show your progress if you prestige from bronce to silver, gold, plat, diamond, etc.
assuming promotions are a thing
honestly i'd rather the memorial hall not show promotions
i think the profile border is plenty
I say this as someone who knows they'll logistically just never get to max promos ever, simply because i only have so much time for base DRG alone. If there was more prestige content that i'd just never get to see, it'd be a little disappointing
Plus i feel like sticking with gold keeps the aesthetic consistency a lot better than would promos for each class
But promotions give nothing more than few achievements and different borders, nothing more
yeah, exactly
just those things is fine, I can live without them
The memorial hall not being complete without full promos would be a little worse
Honestly doing prestige upgrades in the memorial hall like the statues you unlock in drg's memorial hall would be enough for me
It's just simple but effective motivation to experiment with all of the classes just to see a room in the main hub become prettier
Is there any way to bring my friends into the playtest? I realized I was the only one in my friends group who got in and it’d be fun to give it a shot with my normal drg group
So we know when it’s going to come to ps5
A while. Definitely nothing until it leaves early access
And probably some more
If it comes to PS5, I assume that means Xbox as well?
Or will it be like Deltarune and ignore xbox?
is there an estimated release date yet or still unannounced?
I doubt they would ignore xbox
Isn't DRG even on game pass
Nothing is certain yet but I doubt they would skip xbox
We only have an estimated early access date, which is Q2 this year. No dates for full release
good enough for me
Hello.
Say, it this game still only accessible to some people, but most can't enter ?
I am sorry if that sounds stupid, I'm not really in the loop
It’s distributed randomly - via email - to people who applied for access on its Steam page
Afaik the only time testers were handpicked was during first playtest, as I got a discord message from Mark
Rouge Core when 🥺
2 more months at least
don´t think is coming april if they are doing another test in march
so may, maybe
june for sure
and my money is in june
Yeah I was thinking late May but the latest dev diary revealed that the next play test still needed some weeks of cooking and I changed my mind
Let them cook though
Going to make the core go rogue
Too late, I already convinced the core that we need a wizard more
Where to apply ?
Rogue Core's Steam Page
Ty
Core kinda rogue, inn'it

when does rogue core come out
Check the pins in this channel; it's Q2 2026
false alarm it did not release, I just accidentally hit the "release" button my bad it was me
Female dwarves? Huh that’s new
Ngl I REEEEEALLY wanna try retcon
...thats the one with the frenzy ability right?
Im reckless enough to throw myself into harms way, so I could definitely make use of her time warp and frenzy
-# but I don't got the game
-# i wanna wait but at the same time, i wanna try these classes SO BAAAAAD GRRAAAA-
Retcon is easily my fav class so far
Stupidly strong and stupidly fun
Her gameplay is basically "get a good grenade, win the game"
Again, I want to play the game so I can experience it
But yknow
-# PLEASE GSG PLEASE /j
Actually what is the price of the public release gonna be?
Same as DRG?
Charger Pistol
Shock Striker
Devastator Blaster Pistol
Mag Blaster
Cadna Field Projector
HammerCaster
Lark ( But not really)
Mac & Micro's MP2
Battle Rifle
Decker SMG
....want
I love how this game is teased in DRG when you look out from the Space Rig
Only in s6
o
I've tried on s5 and s4 and I got really sad not seeing the ramrod
Idk but there’s a old tale about how drg owners get a little discount. Guessing it’s about the two games being a bundle or smth
sound right to me
yeah apparently leadburster is crazy good with her
that's because the core went rogue after the events of season 5
the season events kinda have their own timeline
It'd be funny if you could salute to the space rig and vice versa ngl
-# i still really wish to try RC
-# but yknow, beggers cant be choosers
the exact price is unknown but they said on stream that it would be similar to DRG (IIRC)
so around 30 dollars, maybe 40
Either way i got my work cut out for me
No, only thing is if you're streaming RC you have to specify that it's an Alpha
does the core spawn lore in drg right now continues in Rogue Core?
since the theme of the new season in drg doesnt continue the lore of core spawns
Rogue Core is all about core and everything that comes from it :p
BUT BUT GUYS WHY NOT JUST MAKE THIS DLC
OMG WHAT A WASTE STOP SPLITTING THE COMMUNITY Q~Q
I'm aware yea
Its a new game with different mechanics that they want to separate from drg
Its like taking someone's skeleton and adding your own flesh to it
Figured I was being sarcastic enough but I guess not
making it a DLC would have split the community much more.
Excuse my incompetence
Maybe. I'm just not sure how much it matters.
Starcraft 2 has very wildly different gamemodes, CooP and Versus, and I meet so many people that just show no interest in the other
I feel like some people aren't really taking a look at the fact that rogue core is a very different game, and just makin assumptions on graphics and setting alone
A lot of people still don't seem to understand what Rogue Core actually is, it'll be very interesting to see how the community at wide reacts to getting hands-on experience in this game
can't wait for rogue core 2
rogue core -1 when
deep rock galactic
No, that's 0
Guys how many rocks are in rogue core, all I see are stones
The core spawn took them all we’re trying to get them back
What if the devs did a rogue core sequel that's like
Extraction shooter, but with shorter one shot missions and you get to keep your gear
Varied objectives and things to do, maybe a little more focus on the company's typical operations
Maybe more of a prequel than sequel
That has season based update system, with one season focused around corestone
Hmmm, image
Project Dwarka
I wouldn't mind a more medieval DRG.
drg rogue core season 1 rise of the elves
Rc playtest tomorrow
I swear once this hits early access it's going to be perma in the rotation alongside regular DRG with my gf for our multiplayer and stream games
also do we know who is doing the music for rogue core since I know the composer for base DRG left GSG
Musician Sophus Alf and Sound Designer Joachim Nyholm
Thank you!
have people already gotten early access?
Some do, randomly
i said rc playtest would happen today but its actually tomorrow
For real?
no
no early access in the sense that there's no public beta access yet
People only get invitations to the closed alpha play tests
early access is in Q2 this year
I hope it’s not late Q2 because I can barely wait
Also very curious to find out the price
It's most like late Q2 in my opinion 😔
😔
I just hope it’s gonna cost around 30 euros like drg
or less, would be great too but I‘m not hoping for that
ain't no way it's going to be less than 30 lol
I want these devs to get paid
but they said it would be close to drg
so you don't have to worry that much
great to hear it’s not gonna be much more expensive if at all
I only have 40 euros in steam gift cards lol
The devs have mentioned on stream that there’s no concrete price yet, but it should be on the level of DRG approximately
Specifically the price of DRG as it was in early access
They've said they also might allow a discount if you own DRG, through the bundle system
that would be cool
Anyone know if Rogue Core recieved an update recently?
Hadn't seen any news of one, but wanted to confirm
last update was in december

alright so it didn't happen today. but i got some info that the playtest will happen tomorrow
Start saying the playtest won't be tomorrow and then it'll actually happen
The playtest was yesterday
whatre you guys on about, there wasnt any playtest
It was good, short but good
will rc have supporter dlc
I am a little behind on keeping up on drgrc has there been any updates on a possible release date yet?
Q2 of 2026
well if we just lie during early access and say there are no bugs and the game is perfect I'm sure it'll release sooner
definitely has no negative side effects
Foolproof plan
But we'll see if there are going to be any major bugs in P6
Mostly probably are going to be spelling mistakes as they seem to be most prevelant in DRG
Crop Crow
Can you join in with others while they're in the middle of the mission, like in DRG?
No
They're experimenting with it at least a little
There are plans for late joining up until the end of the first stage, however.
will rc have the same achievement problems like drg?
those being?
I heard that it’s very janky amd buggy with drg
like the devs had a hard time implementing them which is also why we don’t have new achievements for the later seasons
am I trippin?
I never had issues with them
Me neither
and as far as I know, there isn't more achievements, in order to keep the funny 69
I am talking about the implementation
also because QA hate them
Bjorn specifically
I like that Ellis kind of looks like a sea turtle now
I hope Bjorn gives us "launch the game" and that's it for achievements
Steam leaderboards: 38% of players have this achivment!
this time the rc playtest will be tomorrow i would never lie
I just finished season 6 so I'm ready for rogue core to drop.
Just watched a summary video and wowowowowie! I think falconer or guardian might be my faves…..
I thought I would like Falconer most, ended up with Slicer as my favorite
Especially if you get a bunch of power attack upgrades for him, synergizes well
It's very straightforward
id try slicer or retcon
OMG I want RC XD
can we stream rogue core on twitch?
Yeah, you just need to put a disclaimer that it's a work in progress and not a finished product somewhere on screen
I stay out of here mainly bc I want to fly blind into drgrc, & avoid anything about it but.
Any knowledge when in Q2 it'll be released? Maybe a mention on one of their streams? Or rumor of when we'll get an official date of release? Or any rumors?
(again, mb if I'm repeating som'n alr asked, but I'm also purposefully avoiding this like the plague)
Suspect it's end Q2. Next playtest mid / end March, then a regroup / push for EA release. All guessing based on the time between last playtest and this one, with another break to finish stuff up.
They're gonna do another playtest invite? I thought they alr sent the last one
Yeah I had a hunch that they'd release it somewhere end Q2.
Also, if it does release end Q2, will it release as a finished product? Or as an open alpha?
that part wasn't clear to me
Early access, RC is still very early in development
I wouldn't go so far as to say that we're "Very early" anymore. We soon have all pieces of the core game in place which is our target for early access. Then during early access we'll refine and tune that core while fleshing out the game with more content and features
That being said, we're not close to being "finished" either 🙂 Expect some things to be fairly rough for the early access release
That's fair, I could've worded that better.
What I was trying to say is basically just that I've been playing DRG since late 2018 and it grew significantly between then and its 1.0 release in 2020, and Rogue Core will be more close to that 2018 version
Shouldn't go in expecting the full fledged thing just yet.
If you would rate RC between 0 And 100% (100% is version 1.0)
Where would you put it so far?
-# probably like 10-15% ?
Yeah you're absolutely right 😄 We're locked in on wrapping up lose ends and getting the core game loop ready
That is not for me to say 🙂 But we're getting there so just hold on for a little bit longer
the only point of comparison we would have to make an estimate as players would be DRG but it's a different game with wildly different circumstances for its inception, so we can't really make a guess anyway
I'm interested to see what long-term progression will be like for this game
If there'll be an equivalent to deep dives
Core dives?
I mean, that's already what the main gameplay loop is
Equivalent meaning the endgame gameplay (assuming that's planned)
Something beyond the hardest regular difficulty
You'll have to wait and see 😄 Q2 is not so far off
Ok rogue core playtest won't happen tomorrow
But a day after tomorrow...
Playtest a day after tomorrow
Deadass, I've had this dream snippet twice now that the "Register for Playtest" button on steam came with a "Which class will you use" sort of prompt-
And it was Gunner and Scout, who aren't in this fucking game
Idk why im sharing this here but its very weird-
hyyype
Tbh a character like Scout whose whole ability is having the grappling hook could be neat
Since it was removed from the game
The grappling hook is still there I'm pretty sure
I think its just rare
Or in a different cargo crate
It's not
Got removed almost immediately
oh
No fun allowed
did they say something on last stream about playtest?
+1 week to the release timer for asking
As seen in the latest stream, there appears to be a basic idea of a rogue core deep dive; a weekly facility of 7 floors
Do hope that's not the closest to an endless difficulty that rogue core will see
Endless probably comes later
Is the server linked in game not working?
I can't join.. trying to LFG, preferably with voice...
am very excited to try rogue cores :3
I'm glad they pushed through and focused solely on Rogue core instead of DRG these past years, despite what the community asked for
the small amount of money I paid for DRG has paled in how much value I've gotten from that, its why I bought dlc
I'll buy their next game easily, even if its just to subsidize the cost of making it and to pay forward the benefit I got from buying DRG on steam sale early on
I want rogue core to succeed, I want their new project to succeed and maybe even get a whole new fanbase from the roguelite communities
I want rogue core to succeed, I want their new project to succeed and maybe even get a whole new fanbase group from the roguelite communities
@granite mist
Bringing in an auxilary team to work on DRG was such a smart move and the best thing they could've done, its such a radical idea that most game devs would never even dream of it, yet GSG did it and succeeded in my eyes
Allowing them to focus on their vision, which I want to see play out to its full potential
I might be GSG's biggest stan but, I am Hope filled
stuffed full of hope
even
I hope when they release the game, they'll let us play as male verisons of the female classes and female versions of the male classes.
Don’t think that’s happening
unlikely
classes in DRG (and probably RC too) aren't just your generic "human warrior"
each class is its own unique character with its own personality
true
i just thought it might add more creativity and customizaton to the character customization
I would like that a lot, though it does require both VAs record all class specific lines
or just let us put beards on the female dwarves.
i'm really looking forward to playing falconeer, i love the ability, the voice actor is good, but the design is missing something. A BEARD
just unlock one and put it on
i wasn't part of the closed beta, so i didnt knowe there was cutomization. my bad
no worries
but yeah, there is
cool
Tomorrow core rogue
when is rogue core coming out
Early Access is in Q2 this year
do we know if rouge core will ever be on consoles?
One of these days you are bound to be right!!
Today is the day after tomorrow.
hope copium
finished version of deltarun will come out the same day as final version of ultra kill and gt6
what class are y'all most excited to play? mines falconer because B I R D
Is there somewhere i can view all the perks in rogue core from the skill tree?
Falconeer is going to be best class to begin with as she has the best low maintenence ability. You just pop it and let it fly.
Know? No.
They are planning to put it on consoles, eventually.
But that will come after the 1.0 release, which is likely 2ish years away.
Things could always change either way. It might never come to consoles. It might happen during early access. Both of those are more unlikely than likely, though.
But when you build your enhancements around the bird then it can be one of the highest damage class in game
oh no, is it going to be a thing where everyone plays one class becasue its broken?
No, all classes are viable so far. Some are easier at the beginning than others but later everything levels up
ok thats good
honestly, after seeing the trailer for the reclaimer gauntlets, i thought everyone was going to pick the sword one
I’m gonna say from footage I thought Falconer was gonna be my favorite but in practice it’s Slicer
im scared to learn a new game lol
Slicer has the biggest damage potential as there are several upgrades that favour him such as critical strike. When slicer picks two of those and runs with a good spotter then he can clear whole waves alone.
We'll see how the devs will deal with it
Then don't buy it when you are scared. Stay in one place and don't improve yourself.
Yeah, slicer and falconeer are really good but I find all classes enjoyable when playing to their strengths of the gauntlets.
holyyy
negativityyy
i just expressed an opinion and i get ts 🙏 chill dude
i never said anything about hating/not wanting to try the game, i just expressed apprehension in trying it out
i played the beta test. its more like Heavy modded DRG then a new game
nice!
thanks, was just looking for some reassurance, i do get its trying to be different from drg which is great! i wouldnt want to play something entirely similar!
ive heard its an extraction shooter, but then some people are like "noo what its not!" so what would you describe it as?
well i did 3 runs solo
you improve your gear during the mission like in a rouge like
but you are suppose to succeed not die as late as possible
each mission has a timer which shows when swarms appear and once time is up it gets real hard
the maps are like normal DRG but with more stuff basically what DRG also needs - just more random stuff in the caves
the missions objectives is very different to DRG which is good. if you are use to DRG i would be surprised if you dont manage your first mission successfully even though you started blind, thats how it was for me
^
okay! thanks
helpfulll
this time the playtest will be tomorrow
like it'll come out of early access?
the closed alpha
you never were wrong, if we ignore times you were wrong
It'll be a good few years until it can leave early access
One day you'll be right, and we'll be a laughing stock
oh really??
i heard something about like quarter 2 of 2026
see:
oh wait i cant post images
but yeah look on steam it says release date q2 2026
Early access, full release and closed alpha are 3 different things
We're at a closed alpha right now
oohh
Q2 of 2026 is the EA
Before
righttt that makes sense
Remote Expenite Processing Drone
me too
When scammers post in every channel, pretty sure the new comment dot still shows even if the mods nuked their history
Why do the dwarves call him Ellis?
They mentioned in a stream that the name was chosen by internal polling
Originally it was Ripley but they felt that was too on the nose
I assume the same goes for Cooper, the Bosco equivalent
March 12th, pin it.
Rogue core EA announcement in three days *
ah ok
According to reddit there's still one more playtest session
So potentially RC tomorrow
yes but they said that that playtest still needs a few weeks of cooking
they might be trying to surprise us but I wouldn't hold my breath
march 12 is the next closest possible date though
that's when the next rogue core stream is
wait they actually announced it wtf
early access release date will be revealed on march 12
I thought pee arl was guessing lol
You lucky bastard with that insider info
Next you gonna tell me you already bought GSG shares as they gonna soar
They can announce Early Access and playtest 6 at the same time. No problem with that.
Not just according to reddit, it was mentioned last month :)
"Okay that’s it for this one! Hopefully we can announce a Playtest 06 one of these days. Maybe this coming month? Nothing locked in yet though. Stay tuned.
See you soon. Rock and Stone, Reclaimers.
With love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew"
from the 24th of february btw
Will be part of https://www.futuregamesshow.com/ happening in 3 days
Never meant to imply it was a problem
Yeah, realised only after
But still, you lucky bastard
I found it on reddit 
I do know things, though. Things and stuff.
And things about stuff. And stuff about things.
Question, is ammo supposed to be very rare on solo early game? Found myself with no ammo / crates a few times on my first 2 runs
It's something that needs to be balanced.
I can't wait to play the early access on march 12. this marketing sure leaves no room for misunderstandings either. hype!
"early access release date reveal"
idk how do you make it more clear
personally I would just not call it that at all
perhaps subway surfers gameplay should be added in the middle, so that people read the entire sentence 
ooooh so hype
Is the early access paid, any idea how much it may cost?
Yes, they’re selling a product.
less than 1.0 will cost, that's for sure
EARLY ACCESS IS REAL!
Rc playtest Tomorrow
Hello, I just found out for DRG rogue core
as a fan of DRG, can anyone summarize me the difference between DRG and DRG rogue core ? From some videos i've seen it's like DRG normal gameplay ( some missions ) and when you reach a level you get to choose between weapon or buff like DRG survivor ?
Pinned messages
wait when does rogue core come out exactly ?
Q2 this year
The reveal of (!Early Access!) release date is in two days, apparently
I can clip into the drop pod consistently but getting down into the landing area feels super inconsistent and random for me. Any tips on that?
i know it is functionally useless but just more fun to sit in there when the gates are closed
do we know if Rogue Core will be added to GeforceNow - as in "is it already opted in" ?
"We switch Tuesday and Thursday, we play Rogue Core today"
Wait, so we get EA date reveal today too or still at Thursday 12th?
Rogue Core is a rogue lite with some elements from DRG. You don't drop into the mission with prebuilt loadout, you create it on the go. Mission starts with you picking up a single weapon, traversal tool and a grenade. Across the caves you mine EXPenite and if you hit certain thresholds you can get upgrades that make you stronger. Each level has also an big reward event. Everything you do has a time limit, so you have to keep up the pace or you gonna get overrun. Once you get to the elevator you get to choose the risk vector such as more ranged units, more heavily armoured units, basic units are near invisible etc. To sweeten the deal they also come with positives such as heavy weapons crate, gem that gives epic upgrades or an artifact. In the last cave a boss fight awaits. Once you kill it the mission ends in success.
Thursday, Rogue Core is part of the Future Games Show livestream
Today they play, on Thursday they reveal
Pointing out the difference on armor and how you get more ammo could be a good one to tell
chat wake up new Dev Peek just dropped
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/501725920699091908
Absolute Peek
Im still a little sad that you guys opted for doing beards again instead of focusing on armor customisation instead, but I get it
Thursday. The announcement won't happen on a GSG stream. It will be on an entirely different event - https://www.futuregamesshow.com/
Wouldn't be dwarves without options for big and unique beards
I can't put pictures in this chat.
But look through this:
#rogue-core-chat message
They say we will get info on the playtest next week.
OH! Oh it’s…rouge core
I hope we get some similar armor customisations from the concept arts we saw
Would be pretty swag
Do we know the difference on amount of content between current version, last beta, and release ?
Basically if it should be fine to play if I dont want to see all big things before release
we don't
but you probably shouldn't play/watch if you don't want to spoil yourself further
best you can do is analyze this:
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Update_History
drg EA added a lot of things
and we can assume the volume of changes in RC closed alpha vs EA will be simillar
To be fair, if it does the same as DRG, more stuff will be added with seasons and updates
So even if I saw everything, new enemies, missions and such might come
well yeah, however EA added some major things, such as overclocks, and pretty much the entire end game
DRG also started a lot more barebone because it was a much smaller studio at the time
we don't know what the future will be like for RC and we can't even get a fair comparison due to the wildly different circumstances around their inceptions
at this point, anything goes
awoooga new dev diary
I made two summaries of what I've found to bo new on streams, gonna make another one for today's stream later
but... today is golf 
really excited for the 12th! hope the release date is gonna be soon
I wonder if they'll finally add minerals
PIERCINGS
they showed one of the piercings on stream
and I think they added facial animations too
cool stuff
what’s Q2
quarter 2
honestly this feels like a long time coming
Some basic expressions go a long way
rogue core tomorrow
Q2 is April May and June
Yeah
ouu bet bet
i’m wondering if this game will be functional on the steam deck
deep rock already is so i’m assuming this won’t be any diff
The wait is killing me
I do hope that the release date isn't too far away
I'm guessing mid-april, definitely not this month
chat is rogue core worth getting
Of course it is.
as someone who's been in the closed alpha since the start: yes, 100%
the only thing I consider the game to be missing right now is explicit, mandatory objectives in the caves and more layouts. and thats a really small list for a game thats not even in early access yet!
It might be different since the game will run on Unreal Engine 5, they will optimize it nonetheless
oh we have a new animation for ||artifact depositing||
from the latest stream
animation team creating wondeful things
They also tested late joining
It runs on Steam Deck just fine, the only issue right now is that controller players can't use grenades
Or switch between reclaimer abilities
They haven't figured out the controller control scheme yet and there's no option to manually re-map stuff like grenades
At least in the settings
But the game itself on medium settings runs without a hitch (as much as you should expect for a game in early access anyway)
Hmm, why do you want mandatory objectives? I feel like prioritizing what little time you have is a core part of the gameplay loop
Choosing what side objectives to partake in
this game looks exactly like DRG lol
It's almost like it has a very similar art style. How strange
At first glance maybe, but it's very different in practice
yeah i know it's rogue lite
just seems like a waste of making an entire game when they could have just added a roguelite option to DRG
Or they could have made DRG suvivor, multiplay 🙂
Survivor isn't made by Ghost Ship
They've explained many times by now why Rogue Core isn't a DRG expansion, basically it just fundamentally clashes with what people would expect when playing DRG, they couldn't do the things they wanted to do with Rogue Core
ah ok
It says ghost ship publishing when game starts :/
Publishing is a different thing
Publishing
k
Coffee Stain didn't make DRG, but they published that game
I added to wishlist anyway. I'll check the game out when its in EA
They should be announcing EA date tomorrow
- Because there is an upper limit to how much you can optimise. With enough skill, it is very much possible to complete everything on a highest-difficulty mission.
Sure, that'll still eventually happen, but extended the time until it does it never a bad thing.
2. Extends the feeling of the facilities being in disrepair to the gameplay itself. Currently, this idea ranges from vague to nonexistent.
3. Just adds more variety to a game that currently has none on a macro level. Facilities are always laid out the same, and the gameplay loop, while interesting, is stagnant and never changes
But if you require lower skilled players to complete objectives they'll be at a major disadvantage compared to high skill ones
Because they'll have less time gathering upgrades
I see where you're coming from
But I think variety will get better as they improve terrain generation even more and add more stuff to find and interact with
Then they play at lower difficulties until they feel comfortable enough to increase it, thats how these games go
I agree with you on this. Last phase you could clear everything on every level (at every depth) - there wasn't a lot of having to choose. Just go fast and get everything. There could be more tension if you need to decide to skip more things - player and group choice for what to get, what to skip
Once you were levelled and knowledgeable, of course
Obviously this will change person to person, but in my experience? If you are relatively comfortable with DRG, Rogue Core doesnt feel like it starts actively pushing you to go as fast as you can until depth 3-4
Below that, the timer is only a risk if you significantly waste time
I feel like all of this could be addressed better by increasing facility complexity through branching paths and such, have events that lock each other out or where there's just more to complete than you have time to do so. Requiring players to do a specific objective on every level sounds like it would get much more repetitive in the long run
Btw I just watched yesterdays and last weeks stream back to back and I have to say, not a fan of the elevator randomly breaking down
Any ideas why they call the next playtest alpha? If it’s supposed to release it in Q2?
Doesn’t the game need to pass through beta before release?
The elevator part was already similar to the uplink and fueling parts of DRGs salvage mission (you have to stay in the area and wait for the timer). Adding the randomized breaking just makes everything more hectic (also confusing), and is a bigger run ender than anything else as far as I have seen from the streams.
We will get one more round of closed alpha playtests before early access, which is the open beta.
Ah.. so EA should be seen as a beta
yes that is correct
awww apparently they scrapped the elevator loading screen salute idea
too hard to implement
Would be neat if your dwarves did a random idle animation in the elevator
yeah absolutely
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Has to do with how clients communicate. Though it seems an idle animation that always plays a rock and stone would be doable without any need for communication.
maybe just like have them do it when everyone's game loads
like in unison before fading to black or whatever
Rogue core playtest tomorrow
has anyone got access to rogue core?
Yes, there's a closed alpha that people randomly get access to
Sign up on the Steam page for it
already did just waiting for it pop in my steam libary
Not everyone that signs up gets invited, next playtest should come with a new invite wave so check again when that releases
He might actually be right this time
can't wait for the shadowdrop of, not just the early access, but the entire game tomorrow
If we’re having another beta it’s probably synced with the release date, so I’m all in on the next beta tomorrow
You can expect these new cosmetics (and their names) to make an appearance in the next Closed Alpha playtest for Rogue Core. More news on that playtest is coming next week. Keep an eye on the Steam page.
From the steam post yesterday
Mm hm
Tbh the sequence needed something more than just sitting in quite wide circle. As for the game ending part, I'd say it's on the devs themselves. They can play in an unoptimal way. Most of the time they get carried when normal players join in.
Eh, you gain some you loose some. Happens. Random animation would be nice however.
True they have their attention divided most of the time. Some of them also didn't know that the elevator could break down now. I'm eager to test it myself with randoms. Hopefully it will play better
It's a random invite happening at the beginning of each playtest. Afaik around 5k or so people in total got the invites, so best to wait for the Early Access. Chances are slim but never zero.
While I'm not big on the idea of stages having a separate mandatory objective, I do really like the idea of the elevator having a pool of random objectives to spice things up
With swarms scaling accordingly
Having to load up batteries for the elevator in one of the rooms for the elevator engine would be a nice addition. It won't start the escape sequence without it.
Nice
I'm picturing something like the Left 4 Dead fueling sequences
So excited for this game
Rogue core early access date reveal today
RC playtest tomorrow
Question: Will the game's price be revealed along with the release date?
it’s said to be around drg‘s price. I‘ve heard from other users there also might be a discount for people that own drg, maybe through the steam bundle system
AFAIK that's entirely an assumption that it'll cost the same
I recall a conversation about this topic and a few said that the devs mentioned it being a similar price as drg, or at least not above 30 euros
wait let me try and find it
Official mentions on steam regarding a price point are from 2024/2025, and certainly out of date now
you’re the user I‘ve got my previos statements from
lol
ig I cant help you then lmao
DEVS
GIVE ME ACCESS TO ROGUE CORE
AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
same
Oh is this a new game by the Devs?
yes
new classes and its more of a rouge like from what Im awere
Thanks 🫡
np
Not to mention the rogue aspect as well
they did mention that
They mentioned the rouge aspects not the rogue ones
Just because there's red in the logo doesn't mean it's rouge core smh
They should add a Rouge Core cosmetic as a sideburns option that paints your dwarf's cheeks with rouge
I hope the soundtrack drops as soon as possible
I want that shit public so bad, its SOO good
I'm excited for the trailer that we get today
maybe with new music
the closed alpha gameplay trailer was very cool
idk if you saw it, but they did release a video showing off a bunch of music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y0wG2F78po
yeah I even commented on it :D
sadly I can confirm that the music used in the first closed alpha gameplay trailer has been cut from the game
It used to play as swarm music, but no longer does
there's no way they are going to make an open beta or something to try the game before purchasing no?
probably not
I'd say that's unlikely
but I doubt it's going to be expensive
certainly not going to cost as much as DRG full price
i expect at least 20€ and it will increase
The only thing they can try to do is give everybody EA access during the last week (I think they did so with DRG)
But, DRG was less known back then
And it might be too much too handle nowadays
There was at least one free weekend for DRG in 2019, maybe Rogue Core will have some too
DRG was open beta with a pricetag too
IIRC the answer to this was a no
same with giving those who got access any sort of recognition whatsoever
if the EA is 10€ i will blindly pay it. But more than that idk. I don't like usually roguelites and enjoy very specific ones (never completed one either)
oh it's not going to be that low
This is probably a noob question but Im a PS player and cant play Rogue Core
DRG was 22.99€ in early access
https://steamdb.info/app/548430/
Yesss?
Why is it called "roguelike" ? Isn't it a progressive stage-by-stage round thing?
Like I always understood "roguelike" as in you wipe you wipe to main screen
Roguelite
i dont understand rogue like my experience is only ror2 is it like ror2 with drg stuff?
In roguelite there's a progression between each death
It's a roguelite because you start each run with no equipment and get it randomly given
Ah I see
That's more-so both roguelite and like
like hades?
Cult of the Lamb is a roguelite
it is similar to ror2, but it is generally dramatically less crazy than ror2 ever gets
That game should have won goty
so we cant break the game till it crashes?
roguelike are turn based with no meta progression
roguelite don't have that, despite sharing many other mechanics
roguelikes don't necessarily have to be turned based
they do
according to the berlin definition
yes
You always have the reclaimer abilities and perks (they work like the passive red perks in DRG) from the start but you can never be sure what else you get to play with in the missions
Oh what, didn't look like it, but
to be fair, it didn't look like much lol
rogue core technically has meta-progression, but as of right now is it the vague idea of a system (outside of the intel system)
It didn't look in general :P
So basically its kinda like a deep dive in DRG, except gear is random and you improve it based on how you "score" (rmine expedite or whatever) between levels?
Pretty much
Alright sounds cool. Hope it comes on PS5 before i get any lethal diseases / old age
meta-progression right now is:
- unlocking biomes, depths, some mechanics, some smaller mission-specific stuff im forgetting
- cosmetics
- small stat boosts.
This may seem like a decent amount, but there are a LOT of systems that don't have metaprogression that really deserve it
All in due time I'm sure
is the upgrade on spotter which refunds ammo on crit still in the game?
wouldn't call that a small boost lol
They have said that any items you explicitly hold and do things with will never be unlockable. You get all of that right from the start
which is a decision I'm not too big on still
Well, your perks can be pretty significant because you can stack tiers of the same upgrade
It was slightly reworked
50% chance to recover
You increase the amount of regained ammo now
Class abilities and bio-boosters (bio-boosters range from notable stat boosts to perks, personal upgrades that can be a nice boost or game-changing for a build) will eventually be something you can swap out and unlock
THE ENEMIES LOOK SO COOL
They are great, one of my favorite parts of Rogue Core rn is that enemies feel a lot smarter
They reposition more and are on average pretty mobile
The grub
Hmm, I think the edgestalker for me
That's a cool one
They're sort of like a Menace but they walk instead of burrow, the deal is they try to say away from you and snipe you from afar
But I'm also a big fan of shatterclaws because of how weird and gross they look
Makes me think of facehuggers from Alien
the sentinel specter
they SCREAM man
an explicitly human scream
the implication is obvious and horrifying
Sentinel specters are cool but I don't care for their design tbh
Just a ball with occasional spikes
Kinda same
I like the rammer
The DRG surveyors and their rocket drones are neat
Those drones are absolute menaces
But yeah Rogue Core has a very nice aesthetic, I like how different enemy design both looks and feels from DRG
Except... y'know...
Cave leeches
Indeed
Gives me the fraud vibes
Similar question, what's you folks' favorite gun to use in this game
Old or new
It's the polar opposite of what I usually like to use in games, but I think for me it's the macµ. Magdumping enemies with it is a lot of fun
I really like the macµ too
Hammercaster
Cadna on guardian, warthog os spotter, zhukovs on falconeer and charger on slicer
I thought they were going to put our full legal names + home addresses in the memorial hall?
I like decker
Mac & cheese and the devastator for now
A smidge disappointing but I get it with how many people are already mad at not getting access
I need to ask my friend what these mosters are lmao I just wanted to tell them players like what they make
There is no good way for them to do that. Since it's 99% complete RNG who got it.
Yeah, they've de-emphasized the founders for DRG a lot too since I started
Just stumbled upon this 9 year old interview with Soren. Amazing what they've accomplished with DRG, they built the game and the community he mentioned here, from ground up. Now they're basically at the same stage with Rogue Core, I'm very excited to see what they have in store for us. https://www.gamereactor.eu/video/309183/Deep+Rock+Galactic+-+Soren+Lundgaard+Interview/
anyone wanna play rogue core together?
im looking to play with someone
i just finished defeating the cave/boss
You can try #lfg-alpha
If you cant see the channel, theres a button on start up you can click to join discord and it will give you the role to see it
it wont work for me idk why, how can i get some help?
so when’s the release date , idk if i missed it
There's a stream in the announcements channel
It's in 2 hours, supposedly should be revealed there
Ah i remember people have had similar issues but i dont see the answers in pinned messages unless i missed them. But iirc its like, make sure discord is open when pressing the button, and also try using the web browser for discord if it doesnt work on the app.
@tall plume Did i miss anything? / Should i ping someone else?
I'm looking
it says it the site wont let me connect
discord.ghostship.dk refused to connect.
i tried all the proxy stuff and firewall stuff but i dont think its working
how about now
No problems
A Steam maintenance error message crashed it (its running very old version of the our discord server backend) AND the crash reporter didnt bother to report it.......... bad combo
I like your thinking!
DEVS
GIVE ME ACCESS TO ROGUE CORE
AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
See, a soul is already ready for sacrifice to machine god
The good news is we'll know Rogue Core's official early access release date within the next couple of hours
Check the announcements channel for the future games show spring showcase. Rogue Core's early access is going to be shown there
stream starts in 14 minutes
what did they say about alpha 6
It's coming, we'll get news next week
According to the latest blog post
are they saving the trailer for last
i hope not
or its gonna be like silksong where its 2 seconds of gameplay
and the date
its taking long
he said deep dive and my ass thought rogue core was coming
rogue core was a lie
Was? You mean that it isn't a lie anymore right?
indeed
or it was me being mentally lacking in the spelling department
make your pick
No worries, nothing is real, this is probably a schizophrenic episode I'm having where Rogue Core is a lie.
Ah yes "let's get into the rogue"
they are teasing us
This looks like something from Devolver Digital
yeah im looking at some straight bullshit
yeah wtf is this lol
I'm gonna get behind the wheel alright
After chugging a six pack
If Rogue Core doesn't show up
I wish I knew
Having the announcement on a showcase is probably not ideal considering how many people in the live chat are screaming for Rogue Core
yeah
Rogue Core is carrying the stream
if they showed it first nobody would stay
so is DRG: RC delayed to Q3?
bro i just keep seeing straight nonsense
No, the planned release date for early access is still Q2
we are about to see the release date
they show like 2 cool games and everything else is mid
Rogue Core Early Access available for purchase now
in before they actually delay it on stream
ts looks so uninspired
where
dont worry that wont happen lol
I do feel bad for all the devs that probably paid a pretty penny to get featured in this showcase just for people to want to skip it
I had a dream...
Me when I spread misinformation...
that's usually how these streams go
Indeed
I wishlisted one of the shown games
Certified Future Games Show moment
maybe if we say rogue core at the same time it will appear
hopefully others wishlist rogue core
why is the wishlist rank of rogue core so low on steam. like #51 is low
Is it still confirmed to be Q2, or are we just hoping for a 2026 release?
it is confirmed to be q2
Like, fully?
51 of all time? I mean, I'd say that's pretty freaking good
that is what i mean by confirmed yes
yes
Alright thanks
im gonna do a ultrakill quote here
DEEP DISH DUNGEON
THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME
that got me for a sec
this has to be on purpose
not actually confirmed q2 yet, it was expected q2 but today we get release date actually
same lmao
It is confirmed Q2
Oh god, I needed to take my headphones off now
im not using headphones help
Bets on leaving Rouge Core for the end because it's a spinoff of a relatively big title?
Not even the "tell don't show" trailers made me do that
MORE SLOP YAY
we're getting closer to the light
Well, at least one group in chat is placated now
At least it's not like SGF where half the games were medieval sword fighting
Server is really strict about any nsfw references
Speaking from experience
.
75 minutes and STILL NOTHING
🫤
it will be the last video
Atleast rock and stone is allowed 
75 MINUTES?!?!??!?!?!??!?!
Yeah it has to be along the last at this point. DRG is a mainstream title
yeah it has been 75 minutes
R&S!
well someone send me the release date, im heading to bed
goodnight
gate guard simulator? who is asking for this 🤣
medieval papers please lol
"with a touch of papers please"
"Daring today, aren't we?"
Medieval games are the gun and ball of game reveal shows
Season 3
This is frying me
Jerma will play that for sure
Thank you
maybe rogue core will be next
Few left
nah
Rogue Core is last
...
For sure
Mission management didnt cooked with this

wouldn't be surprised
really testing my patience here
its going to be the last one
💯
Imagine if mismanagement/miscommunication means Rogue Core is missing from this showcase
Imagine Rogue Core shadowdro- dies from copium
this is a endurance test
trailer went rogue
iirc this is not the first game show that devs promised to show trailer
sigh
I think so too
If they were talking about most anticipated games first, most people would leave after few minutes
Chinese water torture
yeah I think they showed ready or not and 1k people left
also why does this monster hunter game not look like monster hunter
TGA perfected this with Highguard
Death by thousand anchor's bad jokes
maybe the rogue core were the friend we made along the way

pre recorded bad jokes
The entire YT chat is just rock and stone now lol
I wont be surprised if we get DRG setted in mediavel times before Rogue Core lmao
didn't know the show was gonna be this long...
which is even less impressive
More like Rogue Bore
then theres a announcement for rouge core
Rogue Snore
this feels like foreveeer 
I jokingly thought at one of the medieval games "damn, imagine a Rogue Core mission like this"
Literally gonna be the last game shown? Jesus
Rogue Core 2027
rouge coré
Samson, heard of it
Definitely last at this point
ready or nor and LIS is all ived cared avout so far
yea ikr
Sleeping Dogs vibes
how long was the stream supposed to be
if not Steve, why Steve shaped?
Honestly I didn’t realize DRG had grown to be this big of a deal
But it’s great to see
GSG earned it
At least some of these games kept it short (though sadly not all)
Pretty mainstream. Also probably the most anticipated game shown here
absolutely
like the singing one
"we have TGA musical break at home"
YESSSS
ONE MORE
YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
christ
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Its nowww
lmao
and... it's not Rogue Core lol
Orrr not
Oh right Rogue Core is probably not a world premiere
vro
a world preimere of ...what?
bruh
They’re gonna say it’s one more
that aint rock and stone
Imagine GSG trolled us and no Rogue Core
vrooooooo
wow i can't belive they changed the whole art direction of rogue core...
I'm actually interested in ts lol
bro
and they only show 30 seconds
what... out of trailers?
ugh
cmon
do y'all think they put Rogue Core in last place cuz they knew the vast majority of the viewership would be us DRG addicts
Nah they kidding
Chinese water torture
That's "9th the dragon"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
it was literally the last

hilarious joke
WEEEEEEEEEEEE DID IT
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE FINAL ONE
rogue core drops now, calling it
YESSSSS
lmao
WHAT
THEY LIED
WHAT
What
NO
?
Lol
Come on
WHATTTTTT
What the hell is going on
NOO
what
oh no
??????
This is actually frying me
nope
LMAO
excuse muh?
WHYYYY
WHAT IS THIS
Man this new DRG horror looks sick
I'm killing a lootbug and is their fault.
Rogue Core is a horror game now?
WHERE IS ROGUE CORE
this is just ragebait atp
but jokes asides
ggwp
don't worry, they will show the trailer 😄
was that a silkpost
have we forsaken Karl?
I feel pretty trolled
Where are the dwarves?
NO THE RECLAIMERS
so is rogue core not being shown
IM LOADING THE CHAMBER
looks like a Resident Evil game that's pretty cool
Why are they showing feet?
Go home lads, we have been misinformed
So no trailer??
im already crying
They are ragebaiting
The trailer has gone rogue, folks
There will definitely be one more, they are playing on it
Damn, Rogue Core is a third person horror game now I guess
Ghost Ship wouldn't lie... they wouldn't 😭
bro I hope it's coming
hold on everyone hold on

they might've meant last world premiere
oh my god?????
Damn
give me my rock and my stone
NOW
WHAT
?
evil ass devs
????????????
