Loot bug plushies are finally coming!



Hello Miners,


It’s been quiet on the Deep Rock front lately. As you might know, our development team has been fully focused on Rogue Core (read the latest dev diary blog post here).

But we haven’t forgotten you. Our marketing team has joined forces with Heroic Replica to fulfill one of our most frequent fan requests: loot bug plushies.

Heroic Replicas, the official purveyor of Deep Rock Galactic merch, is gearing up to bring you a second batch of brand-new DRG goodies. A lovable lootbug and Steeve plushies are the headliners, but there’s plenty of other gold nuggets coming too!

This new merch wave also includes:
  • A plushie “Molly” M.U.L.E. (doubles as a four-can cooler)
  • Fuzzy dangling danger dice
  • Baseball caps and knit beanies
  • Foam stress balls (shaped as an Alien Egg, Gunk Seed, Barrel, and Loot Bug)

But wait, there’s more! Mark and Aaron are here to give you the goods:

All these new merch items will be available for pre-order in the Deep Rock Shop in August. But if you’re interested, you can already snag what you want at a delectable extra discount via the Heroic Replicas Kickstarter, which just launched today.

Down below is a full run-through of the new merch in handy image format -- we hope something strikes your fancy. Wishing all of you a lovely summer, and until next time!

With Love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew

The Great Egg Hunt Preview



[h2]Hello Miners,[/h2]

The eggs are back. There are dozens of them. Hundreds, even.

At a time when the world is more focused on eggs than ever before, we thought it would be apt to bring back the ultimate in egg-centric celebrations: The Great Egg Hunt.

That’s right, eggheads. The Great Egg Hunt is coming back to Deep Rock Galactic on Thursday, April 10th, and it’s bringing a veritable eggload of goodies and professional development opportunities along with it.

It’s time to count our eggs before they hatch. Here’s a preview of what’s coming – and if you’re interested, there’s some Rogue Core news down at the bottom.

[h3]A new hat for your health and pleasure[/h3]

You can’t spell The Great Egg Hunt without “hats!”

Well you can, but it wouldn’t make a very good segue to talk about hats. Speaking of hats, we’ve got a new one for you. The college kids down in R&D have spent the past year pushing the envelope of noggin-covering technology, and their proud result is the Winged Buckaroo.

Want it? You’ll have to work for it. We’re a mining company, not a hat charity. You can earn it via the Great Egg Hunt assignment in the Mission Terminal.




[h3]Historic hats of Egg Hunts past[/h3]

Celebrating The Great Egg Hunt with just a single hat would be like making an omelet with a single egg. Ridiculous! Only a child would be satisfied.

Fret not, miners. Management, in their boundless generosity, has approved the release of a cache of headwear from previous Egg Hunt celebrations. If you forgot to collect these earlier editions, now’s your chance! Complete the Last Year’s Spring Fashion assignment and you’ll get all of them forever.




[h3]Wanted: Adorable bunnies, dead or alive[/h3]

Despite their track record, Management decided to once again entrust a load of Mechanical Spring Bunnies to the infamous Longbeard Freight Company. But to our great dismay and surprise, those buffoons have biffed the job once again! Another Longbeard vessel has been lost with all hands over Hoxxes, and its payload is now scattered throughout the caves.

These confounded rabbit toys are making a horrible racket, and it’s disrupting our Deep Scan activities. If you see one while down in the caves, shoot its lights out and deposit it in the M.U.L.E. to earn a Double Performance Pass Bonus for your whole team.



[h3]The Space Rig has been egged[/h3]

If you thought last year’s egg budget was excessive, you wouldn’t believe what this year’s seasonal decorations cost the company. Management has forked over a small fortune to deck out Space Rig 17 with lovely pastel lights, adorable bunny garlands, inflatable carrots and a bounty of decorative eggs. As always, the eggs are to be appreciated from a safe distance.

While the eggs have been unusually expensive this year, please don’t be concerned that these eggshorbitant eggspenditures are cutting into Company profits. Management has wisely found room in the annual budget by eliminating wasteful spending on laundry, cleaning and sterilization services in the Medical Bay.

[h3]News from the Rogue Core desk[/h3]

There’s been a couple things happening over at Rogue Core Ranch.

First, we’ve got a new Rogue Core trailer coming next week! We’re premiering it on April 10th at 18:00 CEST as part of the Triple-I initiative. You can tune in to watch the live reveal on Youtube and Twitch. More on all that here.

And earlier this week, on April 1st of all days, we put out a goofy Rogue Core video. If you love to smile and laugh and have fun, you can watch it here:

But wait, there’s more! There’s also a new Below Decks behind-the-scenes article, which explores the design process behind the Reclaimer gauntlets you see in the video. Give it a read if you’ve got the time and interest.

That's it for now! See you all next week to offer you an egg in this trying time.
Once again, The Great Egg Hunt starts on April 10th at 13:00 CEST, and it'll run for two weeks.

Hope everybody's doing well -- Rock and Stone.

With eggs,

SpellRogue’s 1.0 launch is coming soon!



[h2]Hello Miners,[/h2]

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.

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

Cool! That’s all from the Publishing desk. Hope everybody’s doing well out there.

With love,
