[2023] Quick Question About Rogue Core and Season 5

Your post has not been caught in any filters or been in need of any approval, so pack up the conspiracy theories, please. Also, please edit your post - naming and shaming are not allowed here.

New posts are stuck in the new section until they get enough traction to go on the front page of the sub. The quality of your post is the issue, not the moderators.

It was not in the mod filter.

I am literally staring at the mod log and there's been no posts approved or removed for the last 12 hours.

We can't hide posts outside of removing them and then approving them, and it would show up in the logs.

1: That there will be lore that ties into what Rogue Core is.
2: If you don't like the DRG universe, I don't know what to tell you.
3: Nope
4: We're aware of this, and we're looking into it. No promises. And again, if you're not interested in DRG as a universe, I don't know what to tell you - but it is a thing, and it's not going away because you don't like it.

Maybe because there was a lot of activity besides your post? You shouldn't feel special enough to think we'd hide your post specifically. Posts that are aggressive and toxic get removed. Posts that are critical of either the games or decisions we make do not get removed. All feedback is fair feedback if it's not containing any personal attacks or aggressive wording. Yours did not.
The only filters that are active in the auto moderator are there to combat spam from cryptobots + spam from memes and that's it. When the filter is triggered, the post is temporarily removed, and the mods get a message. It's all removed/approved, and it gets logged.

POSTS from a flagged account require APPROVAL because it's REMOVED.

Your account is not flagged, and your post contains nothing that warrants it.

I can see the logs. You're seeing ghosts here.

1. As a prelude to Rogue Core, it's the intention for it to hopefully get you pumped for Rogue Core, while at the same time to be a worthy season on its own. Since, well, we love DRG, while also wanting to make new games after 7 years of constant work on DRG.
2. This seems like more of a statement of your own than a question, but I'll try. We're excited about the games we make. And when making a new game that literally ties into DRG, it would seem odd to us not to make mention of it in DRG.
3. Doubtful. The current plan is for Season 5 on its own to be completely independent of Rogue Core, apart from sharing a common theme. As development continues, that may change in some way if we find a cool way to do it, but we're not out to "force" players to play both games if they don't feel like it.
4. A lot of assumption on your part here, which seems to be a running theme in most of your post. Doubt I can give you an answer here that will satisfy you, I can only say that our intent remains the same as always: To make something we think is cool, as well as fun to make and within our capabilities. Whether you agree with those decisions or not is your choice.

You don't put a number by your final question, but I assume that counts too, so:

Our intent here is to kick off a new season with a bang, and to tie it into the larger narrative of DRG as a franchise rather than as the single game it's been so far. As for open development, it means what it says: We've long wanted to return to the more open style of development we did back the in the Early Access days of DRG, and this is one way to get some of that back. And we're quite excited about that.
