Deep Rock Galactic Dev Tracker

Hello Miners,
Due to the amount of feedback we got regarding the Core Stone event, we have tweaked the encounter, overall decreasing the difficulty, especially on higher hazards. We also included a few other fixes.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES — Crawler Tweaks
- Reduced movement speed by 10%
- Made it so that the corrosive death puddles no longer fly out forward towards the player, but instead drop where the Crawler is killed
- Fixed Crawler armor to work like all other heavy armor in the game

- Changed a bunch of textures, so they will not look bad if they have not loaded fast enough
- Various Audio tweaks
- Added photosensitivity-mode to the Animated Static material, used on startup and info screens

EDIT: Updated version to 106182 to fix a crash

Hello Miners,

Grabber, Guard, a Glyphid with no conscience /

Question, what do these things have all in common?

Everybody knows I’m a motherfit’s almost time for Hoxxes Halloween 2024!

You heard it here first: the seasonal spook-tacular is coming back! Hoxxes Halloween 2024 kicks off on Thursday, October 24th at 13:00 CET, and it’ll run until Thursday, November 7th. It’s the most terrifying thing to happen to Deep Rock Galactic since that one time a random joined your lobby, ordered a full round of Leaf Lover’s Special, and then left.

Let’s take a ghastly glimpse at the horrors that await you.

Hello miners,
Wondering what video to watch while you eat today? We’ve got you covered. In just a few hours, Ghost Ship Games is going live as part of The Spill – a brand new joint developer stream from a bunch of cool game studios across Scandinavia.

We’ll be joining the developers behind Satisfactory, Valheim, Goat Simulator, and plenty others (including a couple Ghost Ship Publishing studios) for a big ‘ol dev talk jamboree. Part hangout, part showcase, all good stuff. The Spill kicks off today (Tuesday, October 8th) at 17:00 CEST.

You can expect things like:

• Developer Q&As
  
• Exciting announcements
  
• A goofy segment we suggested as a joke but they let us put it in the program

The Spill will be hosted by Snutt Treptow, Community Manager at Coffee Stain Studi... Read more

Hello miners,
You did it.

Your prayers and protests have been answered. After years of trying, you finally pulled it off.

The chorus of a thousand dwarven voices finally reached the rigid ear of Management – who have, after much deliberation, agreed to rename the annual Oktoberfest celebration to “ROCKTOBERFEST.”

Oktoberfest is dead. Long live ROCKTOBERFEST!

While the name is new and shiny, the traditions of Rocktoberfest remain the same: the Space Rig decorations are still coming back, Best Wurst Bier is on tap in the Abyss Bar in all its meaty glory, and a whole harvest of event rewards are up for grabs once again.

Hello Miners,
We’ve got another behind the scenes peek for you, this time on one of your most requested topics: cave generation. Let’s explore how the caves of Hoxxes get formed, thousands of times over again, every single day. Hope you like it!

Planting a cave seed The moment you select a mission in Deep Rock Galactic, a cave is born.

Out in some invisible abstract, the game generates a seed. This is a procedurally-generated string of numbers containing the instructions for a brand new cave system. This random number decides what the caverns will look like, where you’ll find mineral deposits, and which fiends await you within. All of this is determined in a fraction of a second, flash generated when you lock in a mission.

This new cave is entirely unique. There are many like it, but this one is yours.

Aloha Miners,
It's a known fact that dwarves were riding barrels way before surfers stole the term.

And it's also a fact that the 2024 Space Beach Party seasonal event is now live!

You can drop in to Big Wave Galactic and enjoy the bodacious beach vibes until the event ends on August 15th at 13:00 CEST.

We put all the details in the preview post. But real quick, here’s what’s happening:

Hello Miners,
The salty scent of surf wafts in from the nearby beach. There’s sand between your toes. A seagull calls as it flies overhead. You’re eating a big bowl of sunscreen with a spoon.

This can only mean one thing: It’s time for the Space Beach Party seasonal event in Deep Rock Galactic, which is a game about surfing. The Beach Party kicks off on Thursday, August 1st at 13:00 CEST and makes waves until August 15th.

Let’s take a quick peek at what’s coming!

Fun seasonal mandatory work assignments
It ain’t summer vacation without a bit of hard work! Only joking, folks – the DRG company handbook doesn’t say anything about vacation. Anyway, there’s a new assignment for you: the Hoxxes Summer Cruise.

Complete it, and we’ll reward you with our wettest hat yet: The Tentacle To... Read more

Hello Miners,
We've got a mid-summer surprise for you.

For a while now, we've had fans asking about a collaboration with the dwarven power metal band Wind Rose. Their hit track "Diggy Diggy Hole" has struck a chord with many brave dwarven hearts, and had folks excited about crossover possibilities between their music and Deep Rock Galactic.

Well, we heard you. And we reached out to them to see if we could cook something up together. Turns out the answer was yes, we absolutely could cook something up together.

We're very happy to share their latest single -- "Rock and Stone" -- inspired by the Deep Rock Galactic universe. Check out the music video above! Great work, Wind Rose. <3

Hope everyone's having a great summer out there. Don't forget to check for cave leeches.
