Hi. First and foremost, thank you all so much for jumping into the 1.0 Update. It has been a ton of fun for the team to watch streams, read reviews, hang out in the Discord, and even hop in some multiplayer games with the community.

Since the update on Tuesday, we’ve been working and compiling the first targeted hotfix patch. There will also be another more comprehensive patch to follow, as with all of our previous Content Updates. Apparently, the game is not perfect. This is a collection of community responses and feedback from a variety of channels - keep 'em coming!

Hey! Being the final Dev Thoughts before 1.0 release, we thought it’d be fun if we got into a bit of the details of how we design stuff. This is a long one, so buckle up.

=== Player Agency===

‘Player Agency’ is a term that we use to describe how much influence a player has over the result of their game. Internally, we refer to player agency, or player choice, to be on a ‘micro’ or ‘macro’ level.

On a micro level (using abilities, dodging enemies, hitting attacks, etc), player agency is high in RoR2. You have many opportunities to land good hits, or to dodge powerful attacks.

On a macro level (what build you’re doing, how quickly you want to progress, etc), RoR2 has always been a little lacking - and we’ve received feedback on that. Although it is a roguelite - and therefore random to a ... Read more

Hello gamers,

It’s finally time -we are super excited to announce that we are launching the 1.0 version of Risk of Rain 2 on Steam on August 11th.

Early Access has felt like a crazy ride through uncharted space, and we can’t thank you all enough for supporting us over the last year and a half. We’ve had great fun steering through Early Access together, and we will always be thankful for the patience and excitement our community has displayed. We will have more information on the Console launch of 1.0 in the future - but it should follow a very similar cadence to the previous console launches.

As always, thanks for the amazing support - and we can’t wait to share the 1.0 update with everyone. See you then!
