- Disable server list when already hosting
- Only show Info Screen once per session

Deep Rock Galactic

Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op horde shooter where you and your friends are all dwarves trying to shoot bugs and mine ore. When we first played it last November, it felt like a tense and innovative horde shooter. When James played it last month, he found it enjoyable but thin, with plenty of room for improvement in its long-planned Steam Early Access campaign. Which is timely enough, because Deep Rock Galactic recently hit Early Access.

The current Early Access build is $25 and includes singleplayer mode, four-man multiplayer, and four dwarf classes. Developer Ghost Ship Games says they "plan to gradually raise the price" as more content is released. Immediately, the studio is focusing on: 

  •  More game modes
  •  More varied caves and biomes 
  •  Adding tools and gear 
  •  Adding character classes and class-unique gear 
  •  A "deep and meaningful" meta  

Ghost Ship Games expects Deep Rock Galactic to remain in Early Access for one to two years.

Someone brought up an interesting point in the comments the last time we posted about Deep Rock Galactic: given the lack of any reference points, how do we know these space dwarves are actually dwarves? They could be towering monstrosities that make us humans look like dormice. But then, what does it actually mean to be a dwarf? Rather than being a matter of size, could it be about achieving a certain state of mind? An outlook? A philosophy?

You could spend this evening pondering those important questions, but if you really want you could play the game instead: Deep Rock Galactic’s blend of co-op mining and bug blasting is now available to everyone willing to brave the early access rock face. I had a quick go with it a couple of weeks ago, which means I can now bestow the game with a tentative thumbs up.

Hello Miners!

Deep Rock Galactic is now released, signifying the culmination of almost TWO YEARS of probably the most stressful and most satisfying work we have ever been involved with. What a ride it's been so far. :smile:

You, the community, have been absolutely stellar ever since Day 1. You've been so bloody awesome to work alongside on creating this game from the ground up, and we are just floored by the reception we've been getting in return. Feedback has been above and beyond anything we ever expected and it's been (and will remain) an enormous help and source of motivation for all of us here on the team. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Now begins Chapter 2 - the Early Access process, where we take this game from a functional but still kind of rough version, to the finely tuned experience we have in mind. Make sure to click that Feedback button in game to help us produce the road map for the coming year!

On top of that, we are already hard at work on the very first patch as well, bringing such goodies as:
  • Keybindings! (Because of course, it just didn't make it in in time!)
  • More beards! (And shame on those who assumed we wouldn't add more - it's a game about DWARVES, for goodness' sake!)
  • FPS capping! (Because nobody wants to set their GPU on fire!)
  • Better Drop Pod landings! (Because honestly it was a bit annoying that it kept landing with the entrance facing into a wall!)
  • Option for turning off sending metric data (Because privacy matters)
  • Updated all the languages
  • An absolute ton of minor bugfixes and tweaks! (And lots more to come!)

So, for now, dig deep, dig greedily, and keep watching this space for more info. We might have to pop open a few bottles of champagne (the human equivalent of beer) at the office first though...

Rock and Stone, Miners!
