Hey, stop posting my Discord teasers on Reddit. They get their own high-quality stuff!

If every beard fiber is eventually simulated to the atomic level that's fine, but rough-hewn rocks and dorfs that match their natural habitat are a fine artistic choice.
I'm not attached to the current look of glyphids.
Fewer small floating or oddly pointy bits left after mining would be nice and that might be sorta like a smoothing algorithm maybe?
That has nothing to do with smoothing on meshes as such, but it's something we'd like to fix in time regardless. The little mesh bits you can get stuck on are very annoying.
... I heard this in Management's voice...
I was going to ask if smoothing would increase framerate because of less polygons (or if smoothing just hides them better, being completely programming-illiterate), but I guess it's a moot point if no smoothing is supported at all.
Edit: "Mesh" for maps? Usually when I hear the word mesh it's used for figures and characters only. So the caverns are generated by taking a shape (say a big cube) and just twisted and deformed before all the other stuff is added?
"Mesh" basically refers to any 3D model - characters, weapons, enemies, and even the ones the maps themselves are made of. And no, smoothing doesn't add or remove polygons - it just alters the way light interacts with polygons in general.
And it is canonically correct to hear every comment I make in Mission Control's voice. :>
When's the official merch coming? I would totally buy a banner like this or a lootbug plushy.
It's uhm... you know.

All the levels are procedurally generated. We do have some tools that ensures specific formations of big caves in the generation, but it’s not something I imagine that we could create a level editor for.
In a freak coincidence someone on Discord dug out this old tweet from last year:https://twitter.com/JoinDeepRock/status/985870605936447493

Fixed and thank you!
Keep 'em coming, guys. As a bit of a grammar pedant, I want all typos gone.
The procedural generation isn't my department, so can't say much too much about it. I do know that we are always working towards reducing the cases you speak of though.
The shading though, I can comment on that: It's a good suggestion, but it's not an issue of phong shading at all. All our models are actually exported with full smoothing turned on, which we then turn off directly in the shader applied to them within Unreal. It is solely an artistic choice - there is nothing keeping us from having smooth models if we so choose.
The actual reason behind it is partly technical: The way we generate the mesh for the actual levels does not currently support any smoothing at all - and so we decided to make that a stylistic rule rather than something we had to fight or try to hide.
I dream of a sort of middle ground where things get smoothed up until a certain angle. We might revisit this later, but there are no plans for it right now.
It’s beautiful :’D
I'm struggling to decide what to write in my refund request on steam
“The money lost on this refund should be taken straight from Jacob’s paycheck.”
The bartender says to the Boolo Caps “You three seem like funghis, so why is your friend looking so sad?”
“He’s just went through a rough divorce, and he’s still sober. He just needs a bismore to drink.”
3 Boolo caps and some Bismore walk into a bar...

Hey, I joined in March. You can blame me for the Skyrim memes and for a lot of things, but I wash my hands of this.
Can we make a bunch of ingame screenshots and footage with a GSG Hatted dwarf doing something bad... and then blame it on u/GSG_Jacob?
Hah, we don't have exclusive hats, so we blend in easily!
Are you out of a job because you'll get in trouble if people get hurt on your watch or because they're stealing your business?
I'll run out of people at some point. I'm kinda knee-dy like that.
Damn, well can I just say that Deep Rock is one of my all time favorite games. Great work! And I appreciate how much has evolved and the time and love put into it.
Rock and Stone, brother!
Rock and Stone!
As I understand it this only applies to missions in progress; 2 player scould double up on a dwarf type in the station before the mission and the host has no control besides a kick.
I could be wrong, that's how I read the option thiugh
You are correct.
