Why does all communication have to be in a 2 hours stream format? I appreciate that the devs are trying to communicate with players but this is just inaccessible for a lot of people. Why not post answers in text format on Twitter, Reddit and Discord?
Because this was something that happened during our regular Friday stream, which is a thing that happens just before we close down for the weekend.
this whole stream can be summed up as
It's too hard :( give us your money
At this point, all your posts are telling me that maybe you just shouldn’t buy the game. :)
Read moreI have 1 question. Just 1.
The stream yesterday, one of the recurring themes was 'we have to balance dev time between getting Rogue Core to a somewhat stable alpha, which means we have to delay season 5 of DRG. No matter which way we turn there's just no way around that.'
That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Perfectly understandable.
But the question I kept asking my self as I watched the stream was why you guys placed this (what seems to me) artificial time pressure on yourselves?
Hypothetically - Why not just focus on Season 5 and when that gets released you announce Rogue Core with a note that dev times needs to be split, and newer seasons will see longer spans of time between them so you can block out time for both games.
I know it's too late to do that. But the core of that question remains - why the time pressure for Rogue Core? Why not delay the Rogue Core Alpha by 2 months ( I...
… That’s not one question.
But anywho, I’ll try to address it all, but it’s going to be in short form as it’s late/saturday.
As to why not do season 5 first, I think Mike did talk about that, but overall, the reactions would have been the same. Season 4 already took long to do, and it didn’t make sense to keep it secret for much longer, when it outwards seemed like we were just slow at seasons. Resource wise it just makes more sense to focus on getting RC to a state where we can test it and collect feedback, and at that stage we can look into the next season.
Essentially, we’re not putting ourselves under pressure. On the contrary, this is the setup needed to not be under a time pressure. That’s why Season 5 will arrive later than we originally wanted to - so we’re not spreading ourselves thin.
Idk what having more q&a time will do. It's the same answers every time. "We hear what you're saying but we don't wanna and it's too hard and now we're doing this other thing so wait for that" this is dare I say getting like cube world
Did you watch the stream?
Mike, our lead designer answered a lot of the questions from the chat and was later joined by Mikkel our game director. It's a bit long, but we might do a blog post with some time stamps or similar next week if we feel it makes sense. Feel free to do so and share with the rest of the community, if you manage to watch the entire thing.
Could we at least get drip fed overclock changes. Cause these little changes go a verrrry long way. Engineers been feeling lonely seeing other classes get reworked guns and overclocks
I've suggested this myself, but we also don't want to cannibalize Season 5.
Hey Jacob, would it be possible for the team to consider ending season 4 or perhaps confining the rockpox to a single area? A lot of us would be okay with the wait but we feel the pox is too distributive gameplay wise in its current state. It would be nice to play without worrying about it. Thank you!
I'm definitely on Team End Season 4, myself. We're still discussing how to approach this internally.
I mod my own sub, my guy, I know how it works, I know a flagged account can require approval, you can auto-delay posts with keywords. You Are Either Lying Or Were Lied To, because it doesn't log approvals only, and you didn't speak up until after it appeared so I suspect you weren't here to approve it. Check with your mods who are lying to you about leaving it to sit until I made a fuss. Cuz someone is lying, and I can do math, AND I understand how the mod dashboard works
nah you know what, do your thing, I ain't gonna spend my time wishing my favorite game had the same transparency that made me love it, or waste time with your moderator's delicate feelings. You will reap all you deserve, and I don't have to do a thing. Way to go from THE Developers setting bars to another company that can't be trusted.
POSTS from a flagged account require APPROVAL because it's REMOVED.
Your account is not flagged, and your post contains nothing that warrants it.
I can see the logs. You're seeing ghosts here.
Then why did it not appear on the sub in an incognito tab, or log a single view for an hour with 1700 people online?
It's not my first week here, I can read stats
Maybe because there was a lot of activity besides your post? You shouldn't feel special enough to think we'd hide your post specifically. Posts that are aggressive and toxic get removed. Posts that are critical of either the games or decisions we make do not get removed. All feedback is fair feedback if it's not containing any personal attacks or aggressive wording. Yours did not.
The only filters that are active in the auto moderator are there to combat spam from cryptobots + spam from memes and that's it. When the filter is triggered, the post is temporarily removed, and the mods get a message. It's all removed/approved, and it gets logged.
That seems like it took far more than it needed to. I'm still out. You can't be trusted.

1: That there will be lore that ties into what Rogue Core is.
2: If you don't like the DRG universe, I don't know what to tell you.
3: Nope
4: We're aware of this, and we're looking into it. No promises. And again, if you're not interested in DRG as a universe, I don't know what to tell you - but it is a thing, and it's not going away because you don't like it.
No? See, that's a lie, sir.
Cuz reddit tracks mod filtered posts and suppressed posts with the analytics details, one, and two it did not appear on the subreddit until I made a fuss, as per both an incognito and an alt account login and check.
So... I think you're lying, or your mods lied to you.
I am literally staring at the mod log and there's been no posts approved or removed for the last 12 hours.
We can't hide posts outside of removing them and then approving them, and it would show up in the logs.
[removed]
External link →Yeah, I just had to tag mods directly on two platforms for an hour to get my post out of the mod filter. You know, the sort of thing where you hide a post until it appears somewhere else and there's no reason to hide it anymore.
It was not in the mod filter.
203040+ minutes in the mod queue before it's allowed to post says more than enough.Is it that someone thinks they're special and should be able to squelch concerns and suppress posts they don't like, even if they don't break the rules?
It'll sit at 0, and we both know it. Let me get my downvotes so I can farm r/agedlikemilk posts in the comments. Either I look foolish, or I'm right to be concerned.
Betcha a whole Enor Pearl that it's An Unnamed Moderator.
Yep. After 48 minutes of this never popping up in the sub, I can only assume that my days of loving DRG are over. When you suppress people's concerns, deliberately, so you can turn a game into an advertising platform without anyone noticing, that's all I need to see. Refusing to let the questions even be asked? That's just shady EA stuff.
Like I said. You play maid simulator and clear the way, I'll dig you 5 as a ~real~ Dwarf.
Your post has not been caught in any filters or been in need of any approval, so pack up the conspiracy theories, please. Also, please edit your post - naming and shaming are not allowed here.
New posts are stuck in the new section until they get enough traction to go on the front page of the sub. The quality of your post is the issue, not the moderators.
Your game will no longer be receiving financial support from me. I was happy to support what I thought was a great developer but I guess I was wrong. When GSG shuts down in a few years and you're out of a job look back on today when you decided to kill DRG for no reason.
I can promise you that I won’t :)
Take a break from killing your game, friend.
You first
stop working on a shitty roguelike no one asked for and focus on the main game
Take a break from posting, friend.
So, is GSG working on 2 rogues right now? Survivor AND rogue core? I understand that they play differently but what about survivor development?
Survivor is made by our friends at Funday Games, but published by Ghost Ship Publishing. No designers/programmers/artists at GSG are working on DRG: Survivor.
