Deep Rock Galactic Dev Tracker

Hello Miners, We’re trying this “Below Decks” series as a way to share more moments from the studio, and give a look into what’s under development. In the future, you can expect some bigger stuff and proper sneak peeks, but we’ll start with something light for this one. Hope you like it. :)

The rogue wiggler It’s a Tuesday afternoon in August, and Harpa’s focus for the day is troubleshooting the upcoming sausage hat. The sausages are simply too wiggly.

Harpa Ellertsdóttir, 3D Artist at Ghost Ship Games, is making a new hat for the dwarves. You might not call it a hat by any conventional definition, but the dwarves will be using it as such. It’s a metal bucket with a leather chinstrap, and a big bouquet of sausages flopping out the top.

But making the perfect wiggly sausage hat is easier... Read more

Hello Miners, In space, there are no smells. But if there were, you’d smell that harvest season is in the air. That’s why Management has approved the budget for the Oktoberfest 2023 celebrations aboard the Space Rig! These festivities start next week on September 14th (13:00 CET), and they’ll run until October 3rd (13:00 CET).

We hope all employees of Deep Rock Galactic will take part in this non-contractually-mandatory (but strongly encouraged) work event. Here’s the reveal trailer, with more details down below!

Important note: All the work on Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game is done externally by MOOD Publishing and the designer, Ole Steiness, with us from Ghost Ship Games supporting as IP stakeholders and playtesters. Here at GSG, we're still hard at work developing more Deep Rock content for Steam and other platforms. More on that soon. :)

Hello Miners,
When the board game adaptation of Deep Rock Galactic shipped, it was in the biggest possible box that MOOD Publishing could find. There just wasn’t a box big enough for all the ideas they wanted to include.

"The box for the original Deep Rock Galactic board game is the absolute biggest box we could get,” says Jonas Springborg, Art Director at MOOD Publishing. “The factory we worked with, their machines couldn't do a bigger one, so they would have had to hand-fold every single box. So we were literally out of space for stuff to include in the base game."

Now, the team’s back with two big expan... Read more

Hello Miners,
Turns out the Corruptor caused late-joining dwarves to see minerals and terrain that were no more - It is now back to only corrupting Hoxxes.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES --- - Fixed a bug that caused minerals and carved terrain to become desynced between host and late- joining clients, if the corruptor was present in the level.
- Fixed a bug where the Stingtail would sometimes fling players way too high
- Fixed a bug that caused the season countdown timer to be visible if the game is offline/lost connection to the backend

Hello Miners,
Mission Control has been made aware of a short-circuit in the Drop Pod targeting computer, and it seems that some dwarves were using this glitch to clock out a little early. R&D has since fixed the problem, so all dwarves can enjoy the long walk home at the end of each shift.

Besides that, several issues have been fixed with the summer event and fixing a bug that gave double mission payouts in certain situations. Mission Control is not made of credits...

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES --- - Fixed a crash that happened when leaving/disbanding team mid-steel drum concert
- Reduced the size of the terrain scanner model of the Pool Float
- Removed the extra pool float icon in the mission end screen
- Added eyebrows inside the industrial visor headwear
- Fixed a bug that caused the Shark ... Read more
