Hello everyone!

The summer heat is on, and we at tinyBuild wanted to do something to brighten up your day. Today, Streets of Rogue is going on a weeklong sale at 30% off.

We’ve been doing lots of interesting things recently, and I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the things we’re working on.

Specifically, on August 13 (that’s next week!) we are launching Kill It With Fire - a physics comedy game about exterminating spiders and burning down your house in the process. It’s a very lighthearted game the alphas of which have had 90%+ ratings on Steam.


The game is on Pre-Order that allows you to save 10%, or you can simply Wishlist it! We greatly appreciate it.

The Streets of Rogue Character Pack adds six new playable characters, each with their own unique new abilities and quests:

• Mech Pilot: Pilot your very own mini-mech and slaughter all of the city's creeps, RoboCop style!
  
• Courier: Strap on a pair of roller skates and speed around the city delivering packages!
  
• Alien: Use your mind control abilities to make the city's denizens do things that probably aren't good for their health!
  
• Goon: Do your job! Defend buildings from invaders and attain the rank of Supergoon!
  
• Bouncer: Become a bodyguard and keep a semi-famous Musician safe and sound!
  
• Demolitionist: Craft tons of remote-detonated bombs, then plant them around the city, causing mass chaos!

All characters are unlocked right from the start. The new character traits and abilities can also be used on your custom-made characters.

The Character Pack DLC is currently 20% off for its launch sale. Check it out and let me know what you think. As usual, I'll be keeping an ear out for your bug reports and suggestions.

Side note, this DLC will be coming to the console versions as well. I don't have an exact time frame for this at the moment, but keep an eye out.

In addition, Streets of Rogue has been updated to Version 89. Patch notes for this can be found below.

Please stay safe everybody!

Hi all! It’s been a couple months since the last update, which I've mostly spent dealing with certain new and exciting ventures. Amidst that chaos, I’ve managed to scrape together a whole bunch of bug fixes for you in this latest update.

New Content is Coming!
While this update doesn’t contain any new content, I actually have a bunch of new stuff almost ready to drop. It’s not quite there yet, which is why I wanted to do this interim update.

Consoles!
For anyone who has the console versions, you may have noticed that the game is several versions behind the PC version. I really apologize for these delays. My publisher and I have had some at-times unusual certification issues that have caused major hold-ups. While I don’t have a solid update timeline, rest assured that the game will eventually be updated to match the PC version.

Future plans!
Streets of Rogue has now been in development for over six years, with the game being playable from start to finish for nearly two years. It's become more and more difficult to add new features to the game that are impactful, but won’t break the existing game or fundamentally change the gameplay. I’d like to take Streets of Rogue in some big new directions, but it’s tough to do so within the current structural confines of the game I’ve created.

So, I’ve decided to begin work on a sequel! I’ll be expanding directly from the existing six-years-in-development Streets of Rogue code base. Much of this time was spent turning some extremely open-ended systems design into something that was relatively polished, as opposed to a complete janky mess. Just take a look at the scores of Steam changelogs to get an idea of what I’m talking about. My hope is that the stability of my existing work will allow me to focus on expanding the structure of the game world (...open world?) and adding a bunch of fun new systems (...vehicles?) while spending less time on bug fixes. We’ll see how that goes!

I don’t have a timeline for any of this. My next steps are basically “experiment with new tech and toy around with new systems”. It’ll be awhile before I have anything solid to show. I just wanted to give you an idea of what I’m up to. Frankly, I don't even have much of a design doc at this point, just a general idea of where I want to go. So if you have suggestions, always feel free to drop me a line!

What does this mean for Streets of Rogue? While my primary focus will be shifting a bit, updates will still be coming. Since the next game will be built off the same code base as the original, I’ll be continuing to fix bugs and make beneficial changes, with the probability of some new content along the way. Streets of Rogue is never finished!

Anyways, that's all for now. Stay safe everyone! And STAY HOME!

The 2019 Steam Awards are here, and I'd like to humbly request that you nominate the game for the 2019 Most Innovative Gameplay award! Streets of Rogue has always strived to allow the player loads of freedom in how they approach situations. Designing a game that's able to support this sort of hyper-emergent gameplay was no easy task, and attempting to account for all of the nutty possibilities that players could throw at the game is the main reason why Streets of Rogue was over 5 years in development. To the best of my knowledge, it's the only true "free-form" rogue-lite on Steam.

While some have suggested nominating Streets of Rogue for the Labor of Love award, that particular category encompasses all games on Steam, while Most Innovative Gameplay only encompasses games released in 2019. So I think it might stand a better shot for Most Innovative Gameplay!

Thanks folks!

Hey again everybody, it’s been a minute! I don’t intend for there to be a 2-month-plus gap in updates in the near future, things just kinda worked out that way this time around. Anyways, without further ado, here’s what’s new:

Level Editor and Steam Workshop Beta
The long-awaited level editor and workshop support are finally here… in beta form! This early version is being released as a way to gather feedback and for players to add content to the workshop before it releases officially. Since this is an “unofficial” launch, you’ll need to do the following in order to enable the level editor and workshop beta:

1. Join the the Streets of Rogue Workshop Beta group. This will allow you to see the Workshop content when you visit this link.
2. Right-click Streets of Rogue in your Steam library. Go to Properties -> General -> Set Launch options, and enter “leveleditor”. This will allow you to use the level editor beta.



And that’s it! Check out this video for a quick overview of how the editor works.
https://youtu.be/Fglj8e3Pi70

The non-beta version of the editor should be coming in January if all goes well. Be sure to post your feedback in this thread and start sharing your creations on the Workshop!

This update includes a number of small-ish features and changes that had been on my todo list for a long time, but I didn’t have the time to cram them into the game before it launched. Rejoice, you can finally split your stack of items in multiplayer mode! There’s still a bunch more items on this particular list, and I’ll definitely circle back to it at some point.

For now though, I’ve decided to switch gears away from content and feature creation for a bit, and focus my efforts on something that players have been requesting for a long, long time: A level editor! I’ve been making some great progress on this, and hopefully it won’t be too much longer before you get to start playing around with it…

For more info on the current state of development, check out my "What’s Being Worked On" post on the forums.

Be sure to post your thoughts on the new stuff, I am listening!

New Features

• Configuration saves for Mutators, Rewards and Traits - Save and load configurations of inactive rewards.and traits, as well as active mutators, so that you won’t have to set them up every time you re-enter the game.
  
• Added option to reduce screenshake, as opposed to just turning it off
  
• Profanity filter for online games can be turned on or off in settings

New Mutators

• Speedrun Mode (Standardized) - Works the same as before, but all traits and items are unlocked, and are all set to be active. Here's the catch: If you take more than 4 minutes to complete a level, you die.

New Items

• Revolver - Fires quick and powerful bullets, but has a hefty cooldown time.

• Rate of Fire Mod - A gun trigger with racing stripes on it. Yeah. Shoot more rounds in a short amount of time.
  
• Body Swapper - Target a non-prisoner to swap places with them... In the "position" sense, not the "Freaky Friday" sense.
  
• Explodevice - Causes all nearby electronics and explosives to blow up.
  
• Fireworks - These fireworks are illegal, primarily because it's literally a box full of rockets.
  
• Walkie Talkie - Call nearby Cops to take down a specific criminal. Or person you don't like. Or person you do like. Who cares?
  
• Memory Mutilator - Reverts people's relationships to you and each other to whatever they were at the beginning of the floor.
  
• Warp Grenade - Anyone on the receiving end of this grenade will be warped to a random spot, yourself included.
  
• Blood Bag - Drink this for health if you have Jugularious. Otherwise, see a Doctor.
  
• Antidote - Cures negative status effects, and prevents new ones from taking effect.
  
• Boo-Urn - These "rescue" ghosts need a new forever home! Use this indoors to scare away the building's inhabitants for good.

Hey all, thanks for a kickass launch! Response to the game has been almost universally positive, just really great vibes all around. It’s been a hectic-but-fun week and a half as I’ve been scrambling to track feedback, fix bugs, do interviews and promotion, respond to emails, and occasionally, eat and sleep.

For the game’s early access period, I released new builds every two weeks. Post-launch, I’ll be releasing builds on a much less predictable basis (case in point, this one!). This particular build was meant to address some of the more immediate launch issues. I’m not exactly sure when the next build will be released, but it’ll probably be at least a few weeks if I can actually force myself to take the short break I’ve been planning :p

For anyone playing the game on consoles, this version will be the basis for the next console patch. In addition to what’s listed here, there will be some console-specific fixes, like a fix for Joy-Con drifting on the Switch version, as well as some larger font sizes.

For more info on the current state of development, check out my "What’s Being Worked On" post on the forums.
