Dev Thoughts #20 - 2 Years Later

Risk of Rain 2 - Huntress

From Launch To Now

As we prepare to launch the Anniversary Update - more on that below - we’ve also been looking back at our journey with Risk of Rain 2. On March 28, 2019, Paul swaggered onto stage at PAX East and we launched Risk of Rain 2 on Early Access - to wonderful reception from all our fans.

Since then, we have (yes this is about to be a huge flex)

Sold over 4,000,000 copies on Steam alone
Launched and grown to over 180,000 users in our official Discord
Received ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ from over 137,000 Steam Reviews alongside an 85% on Metacritic
Gained new community members with 88% of players playing for more than 1 hour - and 57% of players playing for more than 10, numbers we are extremely proud of

So, yeah. We’ve grown a lot since Risk 1 and DEADBOLT.

We have also expanded our internal team, and hired new great talents to help work on RoR2 and future games to come. If you’re interested in joining, we’re currently hiring! At the moment, we’re looking for a 3D Animator and a VFX Artist. Interested? Apply!

Anniversary Update

We’re happy to announce that the free Anniversary Update (or Content Update March, as some of you have started to call it) will be launching on March 25th 2021.

Our goal with this update is to really flesh out and round out the base game, and also be a ‘thanks!’ to all our fans that supported us through Early Access. A lot of the focus of this update is revisiting old items and finishing up content that didn’t make it into 1.0 release - we’ve added like 88 lore entries. Shoutouts to Sivelos for helping us do a ton of heavy lifting for these log entries.

We’re also adding our newest survivor - the Bandit - back into RoR2. Working on the Bandit was both fun and rewarding for us, because it really highlighted how much better we’ve gotten at making content since the original scrapped inception of the Bandit in internal development. Let us know how he feels!

PS: We know that the scrapped Bandit has always been a favorite for modders to add their own finishes and ideas to - and so we have implemented our Bandit as a separate survivor from the modded Bandit, in order to preserve community-made Bandit mods. Enjoy both!

Expansion #1

As we announced in our previous Dev Thoughts, we are planning on releasing a paid Expansion late (very late) this year. While we’ve admittedly been spending a majority of our focus for the Anniversary Update, we will internally be starting to shift towards working on the Expansion. As we develop and shape it over time, we will let players know how it’s going, and how big it will be.

Consoles

Since our Early Access release, PlayEveryWare has done a fantastic job keeping up with the breakneck pace of development and ensuring that console players experience Risk of Rain 2 at the highest of quality (alongside taking advantage of specific features) on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

We’re also glad to announce that we have a new, internal team at Gearbox that is focused on continuing to bring all future content of Risk of Rain 2 to our console players with even closer parity to our PC version of the game.

While the Anniversary Update will be staggered from PC releases like before, our goal with Expansion #1 is to ship on all platforms at the same time. We can’t guarantee 100% that we will achieve that - its something we’ve admittedly never done before - but that’s our goal.

Thank You

As always, thanks everyone for being passionate for the games we make. We have a lot of exciting things cooking - both for Risk of Rain fans and Hopoo Games fans in general - and we can’t wait to share them with you - one day.

Electrician Simulator - Dorczenzo

Publisher note:

First, we would like to apologize for a long time you had to wait for any update regarding the Electrician Simulator. We know that these few-months break might make you think we abandoned the project.

Well, we did not!

The reason behind the hiatus - we were not satisfied with the overall game quality and development progress. For that reason Electrician Simulator has been taken over by Take IT Studio!.

Due to the great interest in the game, we wanted to improve the quality of the game and introduce many new solutions that were not possible before as well.

The game is going to receive regular updates about its progress from now every 2 weeks. We encourage You to become a part of development as we are always open to ideas and feedback.

Now we leave it to Take IT Studio! to share their vision of a game.
Yours, Gaming Factory S.A. Team

Hi there!

We are Take IT Studio! and we are pleased to announce that we are new developers of Electrician Simulator! We liked the idea of the project, but we knew it could be developed better. And now we have a chance to prove it.

What is our idea for Electrician Simulator? Well, we want to make it fun, but not "stupid fun". We want every player to enjoy our game. It does not matter if you are a professional electrician or you know nothing about electricity.

We take care of how the game looks, so details and lightening are significant to us.

Imagine turning on and off nearly all the lights in the house and change the overall mood. Or going down to the black basement using only your flashlight to look for detailed electrician tools. How cool is that?

For now, we do not have much to share as the game is undergoing a big graphical overhaul, but we can share a few sneak peeks of the "brand new" Electrician Simulator!

Psst! You can see our first try to make the UI a lot simpler and cleaner down below:

From now you will read about the game a lot more often. We will update you on the progress of Electrician Simulator and gather your feedback. Feel free to join us on Discord Server and ask anything.

COO of Take IT Studio!

Soon in game: "Lucky Rabbit" series

Warface: Clutch - Runabel

Soldiers!

In the next update, the seasonal Ranked Matches series line-up will be replenished with a brand new one - the spring collection "Lucky Rabbit". Despite their deceptively cute design, these weapons are still extremely powerful. In the hands of an experienced fighter, they will cause devastating damage!

Lucky Rabbit Series

The "Lucky Rabbit" series will expand the assortment of seasonal rewards for Ranked Matches participants. This special line-up is designed for the best fighters of the spring season, who can boast regular impressive victories and enjoy the overall excitement of the battle while eliminating competitors in the struggle for the highest leagues.

The frames of the weapon models of the new series are decorated with images of Easter bunnies and eggs, as well as an exquisite grass pattern. Real power is hidden behind the cute looks - beware of the shooters armed with the "Lucky Rabbit" arms!

The series includes 6 weapon models: primary arms such as IWI Carmel, Kalashnikov USA Komrad 12, Gilboa Snake DBR and DVL-10 М2; a secondary arm — Kel-Tec SUB2000; and a melee arm — the HX Outdoors Trident knife.

By landing killing blows with the "Lucky Rabbit" series, you'll be able to pin a special distinction on your profile.

There will be two ways to get the "Lucky Rabbit" series: camos will become available in the next season of Ranked Matches (we will tell you more about it in a separate publication), while the weapons will appear in the crafting system.

Chase the lucky rabbit to get the best weapons of war!
