Hey GSG, Happy 2nd Anniversary in EA and I do adore your game and wish you the best of luck.

To the questions: - When you drop into the game, the dwarves have 'personality' voicelines, Scout always anxious about something and the other dwarves either don't care or talk some sense into him... During missions however, all voicelines are 'the same' but pitched. This leads me to several questions:

• Will the current Guy who makes the voice stay, or do you ever plan (or dare) to change the voices to different actors?

• Will you introduce more 'personality' (voicelines) like the ones you hear inside the droppod?

• Will there be more situational chatter among the dwarves, aside from simpel trigger / reactions on stuff you do ingame?

• How work intensive is this work for you (Writing, recording, pitching, programming the 'triggers').

Thank you for your time and work!

Any chance weapon challenges could be a thing and maybe even class specific ones, for example you could have kill x amount of certain enemies with a certain weapon for a skin or a framework.

Maybe some utility skins as well, i think they are needed and i think we definitely more challenges and not just ones rewarding perk point.

Happy 2nd anniversary, i personally bought the game years ago in Xbox game preview and just started playing again last week.... before last week the last time i played the game didn't even have The Abyss bar and the weapons barely had any models to them, i remember the minigun being very blocky and somewhat ugly back then. ( I love the model now )

I love the updates you have made to DRG and now i find myself hard pressed to put the game down, sad i missed the 1 year hat but hey i'm here for number 2. Keep up the good work Ghost Ship, looking forward to future updates.

Do all four dwarves share the same voice (voice actor), with just the pitch/tone changed? And if so, any plans to give them individual voices? (Gimli style!)

Second question, who are the two dwarves bickering when going down into the drop pod? It sort of sounds like Scout and Gunner, but not quite.

Edit: Also, thank you for making such a wonderful game. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun in a multiplayer. Rock and stone!

First of all i would like to thank you for creating such an amazing game!

To the questions...

1. You guys previously said that adding new mission types is a focus after 1.0, do you already have a plan of what kind of misssions we are getting or is it something that is not yet set in stone?
2. Have you ever thought about some kind of survival mode where the deeper you go / survive in a cave, the harder the game gets? We can either keep on mining until we are completely overwhelmed and we only get the minerals that we were able to extract or you could decide to extract you get rewards based of how far you got / time you survived?
3. Any plans to change how the mineral trade network works? I think that the way that it currently works makes it way too easy to get the missing minerals, they aren't that expensive and if you have a ton of credits (which isn't that hard) you will never lack any materials for the upgrades / forge.
4. Are we going to be...

Is there a plan on making weapon mods more clear? Like if it adds a new ability, it doesn't tell the new abilities' detailed stats at all and it can be a turn off to not try new mods out in fear of it not working as you imagined (this is true as a new player). Like the PGL's proximity trigger doesn't tell me at all that it can't detonate instantly if it hits the terrain and instead it yeets off to the distance. Speaking of that mod, I'm pretty sure the 100% damage boost is not working.

All in all, I'd love if these non-stat changes were more clear without having to test them or rely on the wiki

Hey guys! Excellent game, I've had a ton of fun with it since the Alpha/Beta! Any news on Exploration Mode? I'd love to just go exploring in those caves, the cave system in this game is AMAZING.

Hi, are there any new enemies in development? I saw this really cool idea on the subreddit of a spooky grabber that snatches up people and runs away. Thanks for everything you do, DRG is the greatest

You guys have made a fantastic game and should take great pride in your work. Thank you for bringing to life a real coop experience, it has given me and my gaming buddies many hours of joy.

What are some ‘immersive features’ that have been added to the game that were based on user feedback/player behaviour, that you didn’t expect would be in the game originally?

Hello, fellow dwarf enthusiasts!

1) I would love to know if there are any plans to modify our dwarfs beyond perks and equipment? Gene modification, mutations, psychic powers and -- most importantly -- mechanical enhancements?

2) It would be really cool to at least have a modular armor cosmetic system where we can mix and match parts of armor from different sets and can add unique armor parts as well (that we have to find/craft).
I know cosmetic stuff is not too high on the priority list, but i appreciate dwarf fashion.

Do you have any plans or ideas in the works for new coop games?

Do you have plans to expand on the DRG lore, ie with more games of different genres set in the same universe? (xcom type game where you play as the mission controller comes to mind). Myself and my fellow bearded (and beardless!) miners are often wondering about the other drilling companies, and other races that exist in the universe of DRG.

The game has made giant steps regarding customization in these 2 years.

• I know that custom pickaxes are coming soon, along possibly other skins and meshes for what we already have. Do you guys have anything else in the line, customization-wise? MULEs, DropPods, other pieces of equipment, armour skins, etc?
• And on a correlated note, some think that adding custom armor/clothes colour would be a great addition to the game, while others think it would mess up the class-recognition. Is there a general opinion in your office? Do you already have plans for something like this?

Where the hell gunners cigar? Its not cool enough to killing allien bugs without have a cigar you know...(also why you remove all kind of cigarettes from the dwarfs? In old trailers am surely can see a dwarf smoking something)

Will there be any cosmetic options for the mule or even the drop pod?

I still want a juke box upgrade for the mule would be an awesome endgame unlock

Would you be open to expanding the thematic differences between a deep dive and a normal mission? While I enjoy the challenge presented by dives, I think they do feel a bit samey compared to just playing normal missions.

I think it would be cool if the final stage of a dive looked a bit more like a glyphid nest/hive hybrid biome, similar to how Dread cocoons, and swarmer tunnels are. Could even have gameplay mechanics that alter what types of enemies appear.

Rock, or Stone?

Edit because i almost forgot EDF?

Originally posted by Jayoku_Houtenjin

Is there plans for more weapons? I really liked the separate playstyles the new weapons introduced and i was hoping for some more options in the future.

Also personal request but could we get a sticky flames pgl overclock? At the moment i use the nuke launcher for the radiation aoe damage and its quite useful but for my play style the large direct damage -ammo kinda doesn't do well for me.

Hello Ghost Ship Games. Two short questions:

1. Do you plan on adding more unlockables to the game appart from new OCs, perks or pickaxe parts? I and I think many more players are really incentivised by a constant progression system.

2. Would you consider rebalancing the credits/gold oe mined ratio so as to promote the mining aspect of the game (and to limit the bad attitude agaist gold mining on EDDs)?

Thanks beforehand.
ROCK AND STONE!

Amazing game guys, love it and can't wait for full release. Love to know more about the following;

• Female dwarves, "leaf lovers" or expanded character creation?
• Any plans for PvP/Competitive play?
• Any specific plans for new classes/weapons/enemy types/new biomes/planets/mission types?
• Is there going to be cross platform play?
• Expanded options for pick skins/abilities?
• Melee weapons/class?

Not really questions, but I'd love to see the following added/changed;

• Difficulty scaling: In my experience levels 1-3 are generally too easy, but then 4-5 are quite hard. Even when I get new friends into the game, they can usually clear level 3 pretty easily, but even with 100+ hours, my group of friends probably only beat level 4 like 50-60% of the time. Maybe smooth out the scaling?
• Infested miner classes: infested/corrupted versions of dwarfs all with different abilities etc would be pretty co...
