Hello Miners,
Just coming with a quick bulletin from Ghost Ship Publishing: SpellRogue, one of our publishing titles (developed by Guidelight Games), will be leaving Early Access and launching into 1.0 on April 24th.

If you haven’t heard of SpellRogue, it’s a dice-based roguelike deckbuilder game where you roll dice (and manipulate and enchant them) to power up spells in turn-based combat. Think Dicey Dungeons meets Slay the Spire.


You can wishlist it (or buy it while it’s still in Early Access) right here:

Hello Miners,
It’s nearly time to celebrate another year in orbit!

Deep Rock Galactic turns seven years old this month. It’s been a heck of a ride so far – we couldn’t be more proud of the millions of tons of minerals extracted from Hoxxes and the hard-working dwarves that make it happen.

To recognize your invaluable efforts, we’re throwing a party! The ‘Seven Years in Orbit’ Celebration is going live in-game next week, on Thursday, February 27th at 13:00 CET. It’ll run for two weeks, after which all mining operations are expected to resume their usual tempo.

Here’s a preview of this year’s festivities.

Hello Miners,
If you’re reading this, we’re in a brave new era of beverages. The official DRG Abyss Bar mug Kickstarter is now live and open for all!

These mugs are produced by Scorched Steel Industry as an offic... Read more

Hello Miners,
Great news for hobby statisticians: We’ve got our annual “Year in Review” statistics ready! Sorry it’s a bit late this year, someone spilled juice on the office calculator so we had to do it all by hand.

Management is very pleased with some critical figures: Overall employee deaths have decreased this year, for example. Fall damage is still the leading killer among DRG employees, but this year recorded cases dropped to an acceptable 32 million. Nice work!

As usual, any figures relating to workplace safety violations and employee complaints have been omitted, as Management deemed these numbers to be statistically insignificant.

Please enjoy the full statistics below, and know that the Deep Rock Galactic Corporation appreciates your contributions to this record year.

Rock and Stone!

With Love,
-The... Read more

Hello Miners,
According to the lunar calendar, a new year is nearly upon us! If you ask Management, though, you should quit worrying about what the moon is doing, and focus on your own work in the mines.

However, as tradition dictates, it’s nearly time for another Lunar Festival in Deep Rock Galactic! We’re just about ready to get the Year of the Snake off to a slithering start.

This year’s Lunar Festival goes live on Thursday, January 30th at 13:00 CET, and it’ll run until February 13th.

Let’s take a look at what’s in store:

Hello Miners,
The holidays are nearly here!

We mean that in a figurative sense, of course. Management would like to clarify that the term "holiday" should not be in any way associated with paid time off. Here at Deep Rock Galactic, we like to think of holidays as a sort of special flavor that motivates our employees to work even harder. And it's almost time for the year's coziest, most motivating holiday: Yuletide!

The Yuletide 2024 seasonal event starts on Thursday, December 19th at 13:00 CET. It'll run until January 7th 2025, which is a little longer than standard seasonal events, so you’ve got some extra time to gather up all your Yuletide goodies.

Let’s give the present a little shake and guess what’s inside.

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.

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.

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!
