A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.
Holy smokes – we made the finals!
We’ve officially been nominated for the 2023 Steam Awards in the ‘Labor of Love’ category.
We’d like to say a big huge thank you to everyone who nominated us. But whether you nominated or not, we’d just like to say thanks for playing Deep Rock Galactic, and for making it such a fun and welcoming experience to share together. Nobody here at Ghost Ship Games ever imagined our silly space dwarf game would grow to where it is today.
It’s your enthusiasm and support that pushes us to keep working on Deep Rock Galactic; both by developing this game and expanding the DRG universe with other projects. We’ve still got a big huge pile of ideas for this game, so you can trust we'll updating it for a long time to come.
A special hat celebration
To celebrate our nomination, we've decided to give everyone a fancy hat! We'll release it early next year (more on that below)
Some years back, we released an exclusive hat during the Steam Awards, a cool viking helmet called the Bolted Marauder. People often ask whether we'd ever bring it back, and we've always said no.
But we never said we wouldn't release an even cooler version of it.
So, to celebrated DRG being nominated for the 2023 Steam Awards, we present to you: the Jagged Bugbasher.
You don’t need to vote for us to get this hat. In fact, we'll release it once voting is over, early next year. Why not release it now, you ask? We tried, we really did, but our build machines caught the Holiday flu, so we decided to let them rest up. Once we're all back and rested, we'll release the hat and celebrate the nomination (and hopefully, the Award).
On that note, if you do vote for us, we’ll be super happy. We’ll smile so big it wraps around our entire head. We’ll get up and do a little dance. We’ll hoot and holler “hoowee!” and high-five. Stuff like that.
Hope everybody’s enjoying the Yuletide 2023 event! Here at Ghost Ship Games we’ll be taking a break for the holidays, but we’ll be back in January. We’ve got loads more to share in 2024 and beyond. :)
Happy voting, and Rock and Stone!
With Love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew
Note: The Jagged Bugbasher will be released on all platforms, not just Steam. We'll get back to all of you with precise timing early next year.
Edit: A previous version of this post went live, saying the hat was out the same time as voting begun. That was a mistake, for some reason the update to this post were not published. We have updated it now, detailing that the hat will be released after New Year.
