The Final Rogue Point Public Playtest is Live!

[h2]Rogues! The Final Rogue Point Public Playtest Is Now Live! Play For Free Until Monday, January 19th![/h2][p][/p]
➡️ Click Here To Sign-up And Start Playing Now!
[p][/p][h2]Plus we're excited to announce that Rogue Point will be releasing into Steam Early Access on February 12th! Only four weeks away![/h2][p][/p][h3]Assemble your squad for the final Rogue Point playtest before we launch into Early Access! This is your last chance to try the game out for free and give us your all important feedback, so don't miss it! This event is open until January 19th![/h3][h3]Played in any of the playtests and want to share your feedback with our team? Complete the in-game survey or head over to the Rogue Point Feedback page here![/h3][p][/p][p]This weekend's test is free for everyone, and we’d love feedback in a few areas:[/p][p]💲 Economy Balance - We’ve adjusted the economy to support the campaign's progression. We don’t want players getting top-end guns too early (unless they win them in a Dead Drop), but we also don’t want players to feel the 'good' guns are unobtainable.[/p][p]💀 Difficulty Balance - We have also improved the difficulty as the campaign progresses to better challenge players. We want the game to be fun and approachable, but also punish you in the later levels if you do not work as a team.[/p][p]⛓️‍💥 Critical Gameplay Breakers -  For our last playtest, we had JUST switched the levels to a new spawning system, and that test was instrumental in identifying map variations with breakers (for example, out-of-bounds objectives the player could not reach). Thanks to quick reports from the community, we were able to fix almost all of these in real time. This playtest should be significantly improved. Please let us know if you see anything game-breaking so we can fix it before the Early Access release![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]A Quick Look At What's New In Playtest 3[/h2][h3]⚖️ Full balance pass based on player feedback from previous playtests[/h3][h3]💣 New Bomb Defusal Minigame[/h3][h3]🧰 New Placeable Ammo Box Item[/h3][h3]🛡️ New Medium Armor[/h3][h3]💥 Improved Screen Effects for armor break, taking damage and friendly fire[/h3][h3]🔧 Performance Improvements[/h3][h3]🧠 AI Improvements[/h3][h3]🐛 Lots of bug fixes[/h3][h3]➕ And much more![/h3][p][/p][h2]Playtest 3 Patch Notes[/h2][h3]The Big Stuff[/h3]
  • [p]Bug Fixes, Quality of Life Changes and Balancing[/p]
    • [p]LOTS of bug fixes based off of the last playtest and internal testing[/p]
    • [p]Fixed bugs and added small features to improve player experience[/p]
    • [p]Balance pass on all aspects of the game (recoil, damage, prices, AI, etc)[/p]
  • [p]Ammo Box[/p]
    • [p]Added an Ammo Box item to the gear store. This can be bought and placed on the ground in mission. Then one operator can refill their primary and secondary ammo with it.[/p]
    • [p]We’ve intentionally removed a lot of ammo from the levels.  We want to encourage players to use their secondaries, scavenge weapons during missions, or better plan out their firepower strategy.[/p]
  • [p]Player Combat Feedback[/p]
    • [p]Added Armor Break screen effect and sound when player armor is destroyed during missions. This way players know when they are out of armor and that they will need to buy more at the next loadout screen.[/p]
    • [p]Added Medium Armor[/p]
    • [p]Added screen shakes and impact sounds on taking damage[/p]
    • [p]Added Friendly Fire particle hits so you know when you are damaging friendlies[/p]
    • [p]Added more AI animations, to show when enemies are hurt and taking damage, for a more immersive experience.[/p]
  • [p]Store Updates[/p]
    • [p]Weapons hidden within the Dead Drop system can now be unlocked by completing campaigns. This not only gives players a nice bonus for completing campaigns, but it also demonstrates how other systems like Cosmetics unlock in a very visible way.[/p]
  • [p]'New' Sound Actor[/p]
    • [p]Fixed TangoAudioVolume to fade between room tones. Previously we were using a work-around so that each room could have its own sound and effect, but the work-around did not use the sound system to its full potential.[/p]
    • [p]This fix also allows us to control how audio is sent to the IR reverb depending on distance, important now that we have larger rooms and more distant audio.[/p]
    • [p]This is true for in game audio AND for player VOIP as well[/p]
    • [p]This also fixes the loud sound effects that played on map load[/p]
  • [p]New Tech Red Dot and Attachment Features[/p]
    • [p]We wanted to replace the placeholder Tech Red Dot, but more importantly we wanted to widen the housing for better viewing and firing.[/p]
    • [p]We also added the ability for each optic to have its own zoom level, AND change the speed at which an operator can Aim Down Sights.[/p]
  • [p]Takedown and Bomb Defusal[/p]
    • [p]Remade the Takedown final mission (and accidently introduced a bug to the extract wave spawns).[/p]
    • [p]The mission flow now is to get players to rally at the boss, obtain a 'key' to exit the level, and then do a standard extract.[/p]
    • [p]This should better guide players through the final mission, be more intense with less enemies, and cap off the campaign in a more satisfying way.[/p]
    • [p]We also added a small mini game for defusing the bomb.[/p]
    • [p]This minigame is similar to the Laptop mini game, but the player CAN fail it and accidentally explode the bomb.[/p]
    • [p]Added clearer timers and warnings for Bomb Defusal[/p]
    • [p]Still working to make this mini game as clear as possible (and we are adding it to the training level)[/p]
[h3]Code Fixes[/h3]
  • [p]Greatly improved feel on high-latency clients[/p]
  • [p]New skill system that upgrades skills instead of simply stacking them[/p]
  • [p]Fixed Host operator occasionally bouncing up and down from Clients perspective while in-game[/p]
  • [p]Fixed players losing door interaction if they peak it and clip through the door slightly[/p]
  • [p]Fixed issues with inventory duplicating gear or losing gear[/p]
  • [p]Fixed metal gates losing their collision as they roll up[/p]
  • [p]Re-added reaching animations for all interactions (except doors)[/p]
  • [p]Ladder Polish[/p]
    • [p]Fixed ladder head snapping at the top and bottom of ladder.[/p]
    • [p]The player now always sprints on the ladder[/p]
  • [p]Fixed wrong mission being called, blocking campaign progress[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a memory leak that would cause a crash[/p]
[h3]AI Improvements[/h3]
  • [p]AI now has hurt animations[/p]
  • [p]Fixed MERX phone icons not hovering above their location (and often being rotated through the floor)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed Heavy Striker loadout having Sahara 50 extended mag applied (fixes reload animations on weapon pickup)[/p]
  • [p]Lookouts now use a much shorter throw animation for flashbangs[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bad bug with doors losing their proper ID, making AI walk into them because they thought they were open or unlocked[/p]
  • [p]Fixed issues with AI rotation[/p]
  • [p]Fixed AI vaulting when they should not[/p]
  • [p]Fixed explosive damage reduction for AI not working[/p]
[h3]Weapon Fixes[/h3]
