UPDATE 31: What Was Left Behind

[h3]Hello Miners![/h3]
It’s time for our first Post-Launch Update! And speaking of the launch - a hearty welcome to all the new miners! We hope you enjoy the game, and we want to give a big thank you to all the veteran miners who have been helping you learn the ins and outs of deep space mining since launch.

Update 31 is primarily focused on doing a bit of pick-up after launch - adding some things we had to cut for the 1.0 because of time constraints, as well as fixing a ton of minor and major bugs and crashes based on feedback from you guys. Update 32 will add new Mission Types, but more on that when our plans are more fleshed out.

[h3]MERCH[/h3]
Today, we're launching the long awaited merchandise store in collaboration with the good people at For Fans By Fans. As a launch special, Management has approved a 15% discount if you use the discount code DEEPROCK. Don't let it go to waste, Miners. [UPDATE: The discount code is not currently working as the shop is in a pre-launch state]

Be aware that For Fans By Fans is a US-based webshop. They do ship internationally, but with relatively higher shipping cost and longer delivery times. In collaboration with Coffee Stain Publishing, we are investigating the options for expanding into other outlets that offer lower shipping costs to fans in Europe.

If you're sporting one of them creative beards, you can submit your own design ideas in the aptly named Fan Forge, that's already loaded with great designs and suggestions from other miners. Deadline is June 18.

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3]MINER’S MANUAL: CREATURE PAGES[/h3]
----------------------------
An obvious part of the Miner’s Manual we planned from the very beginning - a full library of every creature in the game. And now it’s there, chock full of information, tips, and even a bit of lore for those into that kind of thing! Every creature-entry starts off locked and will be revealed as you encounter them in the flesh.

[h3]3 x NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVES[/h3]
----------------------------
We’ve added three new Secondary Mission Objectives to spice things up a bit.

GUNK SEEDS: Shoot the hanging slimesacks to release the precious Gunk Seeds within!
EBONUTS: Destroy the tough outer shell and harvest the nuts inside!
FESTER FLEAS: Pest control - take out these small annoying bugs before they start multiplying!

[h3]NEW ENEMY: KORLOK TYRANT-WEED[/h3]
----------------------------
The Tyrant-Weed is a brand new encounter for you to...encounter in the caves. Take out the central Heart-Growth before it manages to seed the surrounding area with so many shooting sproutlings that it overwhelms you! When you have destroyed it remember to deposit the Tyrant Shards, which will reward you with a nice credit and XP Bonus at the Mission Complete screen.

[h3]BIOME UPDATES[/h3]
----------------------------
Radioactive Exclusion Zone, Dense Biozone, Fungus Bogs have all gotten a bunch of new shapes added to them. Huge Mushrooms, Coral-like Growths, and more - go explore to discover it all!

[h3]NEW BEER: SMART STOUT[/h3]
----------------------------
A new beer is ready for you to unlock in the Abyss Bar, once you reach Player Rank 23. Drink it and you will be struck by momentary flashes of deep insight...

[h3]SPACE RIG UPDATES[/h3]
----------------------------
The Space Rig continues to be fleshed out with more detail - it’s dirtier and messier than ever! The Wardrobes in particular have gotten a graphical overhaul that should hopefully make them stand out a bit more.

- [COMMUNITY REQUEST] Added a Refrigerator to the Abyss Bar! It doesn’t display fanart yet, but we’re looking into options. :D

[h3]JUKE BOX UPDATE[/h3]
----------------------------
We have had to remove two tracks from the Jukebox due to problems with content creators getting unjustified copyright claims. To compensate we have added nine brand new tracks - reggae, surf, rock, banjo and more.

[h3]MISC[/h3]
----------------------------

[h3]EXPERIMENTAL VERSION HOTFIXES[/h3]
----------------------------

1.0 Launch - Hotfix 2

[h3]Hello, Miners![/h3]
We just released a new hotfix patch and besides the usual chunk of fixes and tweaks, we’ve also added some things in relation to the cosmetic Packs.

First of all, we realized that the Dark Future Pack lacked an obvious component: a Dark Future Paintjob for all weapons. It makes sense to have the counterpart included so you can have a complete look with one purchase.

From all the feedback we got (and thanks for that), it was clear that some were quite confused on what they had actually received in the various Packs and where to find the items. So we have now added a nice Claim pop-up for each Pack, including the Supporter Upgrade. This will pop for all that have bought the Packs no matter how long time since it was acquired.

Finally, we saw there was a clear expectation that buying a Pack with a unique Framework (armor or weapon mesh) would include a Paintjob that was applicable across all meshes of the same type. This is not the case by default, so we added the Pack unique Paintjobs to fit other meshes.

For the in-game Frameworks (again both armor and weapon meshes), we have now added a new icon to the default Paintjob indicating that this default Paintjob is just the basic skin and not applicable to all meshes.

In this hotfix you will also find a small QoL feature for photosensitive players, and minor convenience tweaks like changing Waypoint marker to Use key (defaults to E) instead of holding Fire, which was not super intuitive.

We’ll keep listening to your feedback and adjust accordingly.

With love
The Ghost Ship Crew

1.0 Launch - Hotfix 1

[h3]Hello, Miners![/h3]
We have just released a small hotfix patch for the launch build.

PATCH NOTES

Fixed Dreadnought eggs in elimination was not using correct terrain detection and could be placed on very thin ground, making the egg break immidiatly.
The egg can no longer be removed by removing terrain below it before it has been broken. (It leaves half a shell that can then be removed by removing terrain)
Explosive barrel dispenser now selects a nearby location when it fails to find a valid location rather than 0,0,0. The actor should now be destroyed properly when game events explode
Flares are now upgraded from the start instead of having to purchase mods. Those who bought the mods will get them refunded. The flare mods were a remnant from the old upgrade system. They were not adding anything substantial to the player progression and were an unnecessary hindrance to new players
Adjusted Machine event floor height so that they are less covered. (Like before)

ROADMAP UPDATE

[h3]Hello, Miners![/h3]
...What a launch! We were excited to the point of hysteria to see the game finally hit 1.0 - and seeing that big Steam Front Page banner in place was just amazing. Milestone Get!
The launch has seen a lot of new players joining the Company Ranks, a ton of Regulars to help them get started, and a horde of existing players return to the caves of Hoxxes. So now it’s time to look forward and talk about the future of Deep Rock Galactic.

[h3]UPDATE 31: QUICK POST-LAUNCH UPDATE[/h3]
In the process of finishing the 1.0 build, we had to leave a handful of new features and content behind. But now we are dusting them off and have decided to quickly put together a new update. This first post-launch update, called Update 31 for now, should be released in about 3-4 weeks time, so early to mid June. It will include 3 new Secondary Mission Objectives which we’d hoped to have ready 1.0, but they needed a bit more time in the pot. The new Secondary Objectives will help add more variation to all missions and is a good example of the overall goal we have for the new roadmap. Check the roadmap picture below for details on this post-launch update.

[h3]UPDATE 32 + 33: BIG UPDATES AFTER SUMMER[/h3]
We’ve had a survey running in the Exit Game menu for several months now, asking you what you’d like us to focus on. The votes are in, and an overwhelming number of you simply want more of what’s already there, more variety. This aligns perfectly with our own desires to get our focus back onto the game’s cave content, and that’s reflected in our sparkly new Roadmap below, and the headlines of the upcoming Updates. At its core, this is a game about action and exploration in alien caves, and we can't wait to get back into the production of new Missions, new Biomes and new Enemy types to make this better than ever. Update 32 will arrive in Q3, so because of summer vacation (yes, even devs go on vacation) do expect quite a bit of waiting time before it lands.

Alongside the 1.0 launch of the game, we released two new cosmetic DLCs - and we kept the price of the game as it was a year ago. The thinking here is to allow existing fans to show their ongoing support of the game by letting them purchase a pack of cosmetic DLC now and then, if they so choose. This is a model we’ll likely keep to, going forward. This lets us keep expanding on the base game and keeping the major content updates free as they should be, while getting us a bit of funding through purely optional cosmetic DLC. To those that aren’t fans of this though, don’t despair - as always, there will be more cosmetics to unlock ingame just by playing too.

The core message here is: We will keep supporting the game and deliver new free content for as long as we have fans that support us. And the feedback we get from you in our growing community will continue to help us prioritize and focus on the things the game needs. So...keep mining, Miners. And keep being as awesome as you have been so far - your support continues to be heartwarming and invaluable.

Rock and Stone, Miners!

With love
Ghost Ship Crew

1.0 LAUNCH IS LIVE!

[h3]Hello Miners![/h3]
It’s fantastic to finally be welcoming you all to Deep Rock Galactic 1.0!

This marks the end of more than two years of Early Access development and It has been an amazing journey! We could not have asked for a better community to have along for the ride. And, if you are a new player, rest assured that hard work in the mines awaits you, alongside high adventure, big guns, fancy beards, alien monsters ... and of course - all your fellow dwarven miners!

We are super, super excited to leave Early Access and seeing where the game will go from here. And fear not...we are far from done adding to DRG!

Rock And Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h2]--- 1.0 PATCH NOTES ---[/h2]

[h3]SOUNDTRACK VOL. II[/h3]
For the last year we have been working on a Vol. II of the soundtrack for DRG - and it is finally here - allowing you to mine, fight and groove to 14 completely new tracks of synthy, bassy goodness! Deep Rock Galactic needs to invest in some bigger speakers… NOW!

[h3]NEW PROMOTION TIERS[/h3]
Believe it or not but now there are 3 more Tiers above Gold, for when you are promoting your dwarves: PLATINUM, DIAMOND, LEGENDARY! This is mainly a show-off thing for super veteran players who have been investing blood, sweat and a lot of time in Deep Rock Galactic. We salute you!

[h3]PRESTIGE ASSIGNMENTS[/h3]
As you increase your Player Rank, you will get access to special Prestige Assignments. Completing them will reward you with full sets of Pickaxe parts, Armor skins and new Helmets. Prestige Assignments are unlocked at Player Rank 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100.

A couple of months ago we were toying around with awarding you vanity on the promotion itself (some of you might have tested it on the Experimental build), but we were not totally happy with the system and have instead gone for an approach with unlocking Prestige Assignments based on your Player Rank.

[h3]BIOMES[/h3]
Crystalline Caverns have gotten more crystal variations. It’s now crystal clear why it is called by that name!

[h3]COMMUNITY REQUESTS[/h3]
Here are a bunch of features we have added by popular demand:

We have added a sweet Golden Paintjob for your trusty Pickaxe to the Supporter Pack
We have added a separate volume slider for Mission Control. Don’t tell Management!
We have improved head bob scaling to now affect more animations
We have added a separate Camera Shake slider, to be able to scale down camera shakes to your liking
We have added an option to invert x-axis for the camera when you are downed
