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,
Button up your Lederhosen, put on your cherished Tyrolean hat, and report for duty. The first-ever official ROCKTOBERFEST is live! The celebrations will run for two weeks – Rocktoberfest ends at 13:00 CEST on October 10th.

All the meaty details are in the preview post, but here’s the quick run-down:

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.

The first-ever official Rocktoberfest event g... Read more

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.

Hello Miners,
Most of GSG is on summer vacation right now, and we're moving into our new office at the end of the month. Things will be a bit quiet around here for a few weeks. In the meanwhile, here's a look behind the scenes: we're going a few months back in time, and stepping into the sound studio with Robert Friis -- the voice of Mission Control. Enjoy!


Mission Control is on air
It’s a delightful sunny Tuesday in May, and Mission Control is in the recording booth.

The order of the day is recording the voiceover for the Season 05 Narrated Trailer. We’re in the only meeting room in the entire office, which doubles as the makeshift sound studio. In the corner, tucked in a blocky bunker of sound insulation panels, stands Mission Control – or as he’s known in real life, Robert Friis, co-founder and Art Director of Ghost Shi... Read more

Hello Miners,
Welcome to SEASON 05 - DRILLING DEEPER!

Management’s got their sights set on mineral riches deeper down toward Hoxxes’ core, which means we’re increasing your depth of operations. You’re venturing down deeper than ever before, claiming unprecedented treasures for the company, and confronting all the lethal horrors that stand in your way.

In other words, it’s another great day at work.

With love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew

Hello Miners,
It's a beautiful day to share some key art! We've spent all week clearing the dust away from the obscured teaser image we shared last week, so now we're ready for the big reveal.

In 'Drilling Deeper,' Management is expanding your range of operations, sending you further toward Hoxxes' core in pursuit of precious Morkite Seeds.

Implementing a system like this involves a few structural changes, and we’re here to share some details about that.

Hello Miners, We’re back with another installment in our 'Below Decks' series, to give you a peek behind the scenes at Ghost Ship Games. This time we’re following Arvid, an intern at GSG, to learn about his work as the company’s official Loot Bug Keeper. Enjoy!


Meet the loot bug It’s a cold gray Monday in March, and Arvid’s feeding the loot bug.

If you’ve played Deep Rock Galactic, you know the loot bug: It’s the passive critter that populates the caves of Hoxxes, rooting around for chunks of gold and Nitra to gobble up. In the six years since DRG launched, the loot bug has become something of an in-joke among players, dividing the pacifist loot bug preservationists from those who see the creature as an easy source of extra resources.

But what most people don’t know is that the in-game loot bug is directly inspired by a r... Read more
