[H3] WELCOME, NEW MINER!

[IMG: Picture4_400P.png]

A letter from Management:Congratulations, [NEW DWARVEN EMPLOYEE]! By signing up with DEEP ROCK GALACTIC, you have just taken your first step towards becoming an essential gear in the machine of the MOST TENACIOUS space mining corporation in the known galaxy!At DEEP ROCK GALACTIC, we pride ourselves on having established practical dominance of some the most lucrative systems in the OUTER RIM. While our foolish and cowardly competitors generally regard these as too volatile or high-risk, DEEP ROCK GALACTIC calls them home.At this time, we have a total of 89 ORBITAL SPACE RIGS in operation throughout MORE THAN A DOZEN Outer Rim systems, with 16 MORE currently under construction.However, a NEW MANDATE is upon us! While our digs number in the dozens already, we are currently engaged in our most daring and heavily orchestrated mining operation to date: The COMPLETE SUBJUGATION of the planet HOXXES IV. HOXXES IV constitutes, to the best of our knowledge, the SINGLE MOST LUCRATIVE mining location in the galaxy, containing the RICHEST AND MOST DENSE concentrations of valuable minerals we have ever encountered. However, it also just happens to be the SINGLE MOST HOSTILE place we have ever mapped. Several competitors before us have tried to tame Hoxxes IV, WITHOUT LUCK.DEEP ROCK GALACTIC will succeed. DEEP ROCK GALACTIC is not in the business of failing.MANAGEMENT BIDS YOU WELCOME, NEW MINER. WELCOME ABOARD.

[H2] WORKING AT DEEP ROCK GALACTIC

[IMG: Screenshot01.png]

[H3] TEAMWORK IS KEY
At DEEP ROCK GALACTIC we value TEAMWORK above all else! The sheer hostility of Hoxxes IV means anyone caught away from their team will be in for a world of hurt. As a responsible INTERPLANETARY MINING CONGLOMERATE, we depend on our employees to take care of each other. In other words - we won’t be there holding your hand.As the saying goes: "Dig together - or dig your own grave".
[H3] NEXT-LEVEL SPACE MINING
At DEEP ROCK GALACTIC we specialise in SPACE MINING at the most dangerous dig sites in the galaxy, and we call upon those with a natural predisposition towards hard, honest work! We believe in LEAN MINING, and we expect the same of you. Why send in a massive and costly mining operation when a CRACK SQUAD of highly-skilled mining operatives will do?

[IMG: Screenshot02.png]

[H3] MYSTERIOUS CAVES
At DEEP ROCK GALACTIC we say that any cave can be conquered, so long as our drills remain fueled and lubricated! While no two caves will ever be the same, our dedicated RESEARCH DEPARTMENT is constantly at work peeling apart the tectonic layers of the planet, locating the most lucrative caves and categorizing them accordingly.
[H3] MOVE UP THE COMPANY LADDER
At DEEP ROCK GALACTIC we are big on PROMOTIONS! So big, in fact, that we tally up EVERYTHING you do and calculate your Rank based on that! Upon first joining us, your Rank will be 0 (lovingly referred to as Greenbeards among the employees). You will not remain a Greenbeard for long, however - while your objectives will carry you ever further down, your standing within the company will only go up!** Provided, of course, you are fortunate and skilled enough to survive.

[H2] OPERATION: SUBJUGATE HOXXES
Hoxxes IV is SO RICH IN MINERALS that our database of exploitable cave systems practically doubles on a weekly basis! But, thanks to the TIRELESS EFFORTS of the Research & Development branch, so too does our understanding of the extremely hostile flora and fauna found there. To prepare you for some of the risks that you’ll be facing on the planet, we have prepared a SMALL BRIEFING - we advise you to read it closely.
[H3] WHY DWARVES?

[IMG: Scout.png]

While the operations of DEEP ROCK GALACTIC goes all across the spectrum when it comes to operating specs, there are some that absolutely stand out. And when it comes to the MOST DANGEROUS DIGS, we have long relied on the tenacity, strength, and sheer underground survivability of the stout DWARVES. It is a simple fact of life - when you're attempting to establish a profitable mining operation on the most hostile planet in the galaxy, sometimes things don’t go to plan. And when all other measures have failed - a mine suddenly gone dark, or a particularly heavy alien infestation is uncovered - that is when we send in the DWARVES.
[H3] THE MOST DANGEROUS PLANET IN THE GALAXY?
This is not hyperbole. DEEP ROCK GALACTIC has had their eyes on this awful rock for a long time, because it is so unreasonably rich in valuable and rare materials. The problem, however, is that it is also the home of one of the most dense and diverse collections of hostile alien flora and fauna ever encountered. It is an ugly planet. A bug planet. A planet of plutonium-fanged worms that would like nothing better than to take up residence in your sinus cavities.What we are saying is this: Hoxxes IV is a very bad place.
[H3] SO HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO SURVIVE DOWN THERE?
Let it never be said that DEEP ROCK GALACTIC spares any expense on equipment! Our Dwarven miners are consistently decked out with the heaviest, most reliable weapons, and the most advanced and ingenious gadgets this side of Rigel VII, and we are proud of this fact. From industrial flamethrowers, to experimental plasma chargers, to launchers firing climbable concrete platforms into walls - if the lads in R&D can dream it up, the Dwarves will have access to it!

[H2] Rock and stone to the bone!
Hello Miners!Mission Control has a new work assignment ready for you. Take a look, and scroll down to read all about Season 06: Relics of Hoxxes

[H1] Ossuary Depths
[H3] New Biome
“...the striking column formations give these caverns the appearance of a great cathedral, though the bones amassed here might suggest this place is more of a burial catacomb. In light of this possibility, as well as observed hostilities from local fauna, we urge company management to avoid this ‘boneyard’ for any future mining operations.” -Excerpt from a report by the DRG Planetary Surveys Department

Welcome to the new biome, the Ossuary Depths. Until recently, this underground boneyard was considered too dangerous, but management has re-evaluated this assessment, and come to the conclusion that there’s profit to be made. This means you’ve been issued new work assignments in the home of the Ossirans - more on those in a moment.

[H1] Heavy Extraction
[H3] New Mission
[H3]
Recent mining activities may have caused valuable Resinite Mass clusters to appear. Regardless of how it happened, R&D wants you to locate these, dig ‘em free, and ship them to the company with the provided laser-rocket-thrusters. Quite a sight to behold.

[H1]  The Ossirans
[H3] New Enemy Classification
With the new biome comes new enemies. The Ossuary Depths is home to the Ossirans, an alien species that don’t take kindly to hard-working mining teams. So far, we’ve identified three different forms of Ossirans, the Scrab, the Pit Jaw and the Bone Collector.
[H2] Ossiran Scrab
These flying buggers will try to overwhelm you in large swarms, and may surface in great numbers if you get too close to their nests. They’ve got armored wings protecting their body, so they may take extra hits unless you hit them when flying.

[H2] Ossiran Pit Jaw
As if we didn’t already have enough dwarves getting caught by Leeches, we will now also have to look out for these monsters emerging from the ground, if a dwarf steps on them. Ouch! We’ve also received reports that these have found their way into other biomes occasionally. The Company will be marking missions in those areas with “Pit Jaw Colony”. No excuse to be caught now, right?

[H1] OSSIUM RAID
[H3] Seasonal Event
The elusive Ossiran classified as the Bone Collector will, despite its name, not pose a threat to mining crews, but instead provide a lucrative opportunity. They’ve transformed bones into crystalline Ossium, a highly valuable material. The Company would like you to acquire these, but in order to find the caves where these are gathered, you’ll need to find a Bone Collector, that’ll flee if attacked, and lead you directly to its Ossium-filled lair.

[H3]  S06 Performance Pass
The R+D department has been hard at work improving the conditions. Not better work conditions, but better conditions for you to look suave while killing bugs and moving dirt. The new Performance Pass brings you a plethora of cool new stuff, including the Diesel Driven weapon framework.

The Season 06 Performance Pass and associated Progression Track are full of other cool goodies too. You'll be able to earn:A dozen new hatsFlashy new facial hairsNew weapon paintjobsNew armor paintjobsA new pickaxe setAn additional framework for our loyal friend BoscoA couple new end-screen animationsAnd more!

On the topic of performance, a new unlockable tier has been added to the to the Weapon Maintenance system. ‘WM6 CRIMSON CALL’ is soon available for all high-performing employees.

[H2] Rock and Stone to the core!
Hello Reclaimers! The Core has gone Rogue. Deep Rock Galactic needs your help!

[H1] STORY
Expenite - a new mineral of incredible value and use has been discovered on planet Hoxxes! Space mining company Deep Rock Galactic immediately sets up covert mining operations deeper than ever, to harvest this precious material. Suddenly and without warning - all the dig sites go dark, and all contact is abruptly lost. In this action-packed 1-4 player co-op roguelite, take on the role of a team of elite dwarven Reclaimers called to planet Hoxxes IV to deal with the situation. Bring the lost dig sites back online, unravel the mystery of The Greyout, and keep it from happening again using all the guts, guns, and grit at your disposal. The Core has gone Rogue. DRG needs your help!

[H1] Gameplay
[H3] Co-op Roguelite

Each Rogue Core mission begins with selecting your loadout - picking a Phase Suit equipped with an Active Ability of your choice, as well as one of a range of unique Reclaimer Weapons. Once loaded up, you board your Drop Pod and land at the outer boundary of a lost dig site, facing the Greyout Barrier surrounding it. Luckily, R&D has equipped you with a device capable of carving a hole through it, but once you go in, there is no way back except mission success. Proceed through the Barrier on foot and fight your way down multiple procedurally generated stages to the deepest and most dangerous level of the site.

During each stage, you will salvage caches of DRG equipment and weapons to expand your arsenal for that mission. The dig sites are also full of the wonder-mineral Expenite. Deposit any Expenite you can find into your trusty Processor Drone to generate a wide range of powerful temporary upgrades. Thus, as you progress ever deeper, your power will grow, but so will the challenge. Every little bit will be needed to make it through all the stages, reach the Core, and reclaim the dig site.

Between missions, you return to your ship - the RV-09 “Ramrod”, parked in low orbit above Hoxxes. By completing mission tasks and reclaiming dig sites, you will earn the means to research and permanently unlock new Reclaimer Weapons, Phase Suits, and Suit Mods. Expand your gear options and experiment with various setups to tackle the deepest and most dangerous dig sites.

[H1] Early Access - FAQ
[H3] How is DRG: Rogue Core different from Deep Rock Galactic?
The main difference is the roguelite game structure. In short, this means that you start each mission with only the most basic equipment, and you collect random upgrades, gear and abilities as you go. This makes for lots of variety in your build, and the potential for extremely powerful upgrades and synergies.On top of that, the core gameplay has three main differences:It's faster-paced. You’re under more pressure, and time is a resource you need to manage. Each level is on a mission timer, and you may not be able to complete every single side objective before your time runs out and you reach critical threat level.It's harder and more intense. The baseline difficulty is more challenging. We’d say the game probably starts close to the 'Hazard 3' experience from Deep Rock Galactic, and it scales up from there. There's more focus on combat. In Rogue Core, the cave generation is more linear. Where DRG had more focus on traversal and terrain modification, Rogue Core introduces fighting in and around industrial structures in the caves.
[H3] Is this Roguelike or Roguelite?
While ‘Roguelike’ is often used broadly for all kinds of games that have “runs”, “builds” and random upgrades, we deliberately use the term Roguelite to indicate that there will be a meta gameplay level with permanent character progression that carries over between missions.
[H3] What playable classes are there in Rogue Core?
In Rogue Core, you step into the boots of the Reclaimers — Deep Rock Galactic’s elite corporate security force. In early access launch, it features five playable Reclaimers:GUARDIAN: The walking shield. An expert in area denial and close protection. Damages enemies with concussive blasts, and restores the team’s armor.FALCONER: The aerial attacker. Deploys an airborne assault drone to electrify enemies, and in an emergency, can even revive teammates from afar.RETCON: The fighting hologram. Capable of ‘warping’ back to a previous point in spacetime, restoring health and ammo to recover from dangerious situations. Lethal in all time zones.SPOTTER: The marksman. Highlights and weakens targets with toxin darts, sees enemies through walls, and can deploy ammo for use in extended firefights.SLICER: The melee class. Carries an energy blade capable of dismembering all but the toughest opponents. Mobile, agile, aggressive.
[H3] Do you have more classes planned in the future?
Yes! But we don’t know exactly what, or when.
[H3] Can the female dwarves have beards too?
Yes. They’re dwarves.

[H3] How long does an average run last?
Completing a mission (or ‘run’, as we call them) in Rogue Core usually takes around 45 to 50 minutes. Some can take longer than others. And of course, they can be shorter as well if you meet an untimely death.

[H3] Why isn’t Rogue Core just an expansion of Deep Rock Galactic?
There are two main reasons for this.Rogue Core introduces a lot of new gameplay mechanics and progression systems. When we started working on Rogue Core as a prototype project, we quickly realized that we’d really have to dial down our scope and ambitions if we wanted it to all fit into Deep Rock Galactic. It’s been much more motivating (and fun) to explore new gameplay systems, art directions, weapons and damage mechanics when we don’t have to ‘justify’ or balance it with regular Deep Rock Galactic. If we tried to mash it into Deep Rock Galactic, we’d risk screwing up the balance, or diluting that game’s own identity.You can’t do Early Access with a DLC. Early Access is a really important way for us to shape the game according to community feedback, and there’s no way to do that with DLC for an existing game. Deep Rock Galactic wouldn’t have been the success it is without a healthy Early Access run, so we wanted the same development experience with Rogue Core. For more of our thoughts and feelings about Early Access, check out the ‘Early Access’ section up above.
[H3] Will Rogue Core eventually come to consoles?
We hope so, but we’re not working on it right now. Our priority is running the early access version here on Steam, and bringing the game toward an eventual 1.0 launch. Perhaps one day though!
[H3] Will I get a discount on Rogue Core if I own Deep Rock Galactic?
Yes. We’ve made a Steam Bundle with the two games, so you’ll automatically get a “complete the Bundle” discount. Keep in mind that to get this, you need to buy the Rogue Core via the Bundle, rather than the standalone title.
[H3] When does the Early Access arrive?
The Rogue Core Early Access is out now on Steam!
[H3] How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
We like community feedback. The best way to get in touch with us is through our Discord server, which is also where we organize regular playtests for fans and community members. All feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us steer our development process and ultimately make a better game.If you’ve got some feedback you want to share with us, you can:Reach out through DiscordWrite us an email via the Ghost Ship Games websiteHoller at us during our weekly dev livestreamsSend an old-fashioned paper letter to our officeWe look forward to hearing from you.
