Wow, talk about hitting the ground running. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor didn’t just walk into the market; it blasted its way through, selling a whopping 500,000 copies in its debut week. And Funday Games, the brains behind the operation, is already sketching out a grand plan for the future.
You see, this auto-shooter isn’t just any game. It’s a clever mash-up. Imagine taking the beloved dwarves, their mining escapades, and their relentless battle against alien bugs from the co-op FPS Deep Rock Galactic. Now, mix that with the addictive auto-shooting and the thrill of roguelite elements from Vampire Survivors. Sounds like a recipe for success, right? Funday Games thought so too, and they weren’t wrong. They’ve been blown away by the game’s early access launch, saying it surpassed their “wildest imagination.”
But wait, there’s more. Funday isn’t just resting on their laurels. They’re humbled, grateful, and yup, you guessed it – incredibly busy. They’ve got a roadmap laid out, bursting at the seams with new features they’re itching to roll out. New biomes, biome mutators for that extra kick of challenge, shiny new Overclocks and Artifacts for those deliciously fun synergies and builds. Oh, and let’s not forget about giving Bosco, the mining robot, a major glow-up to make him an “integral part of the game.”
The team’s already knee-deep in working on the game’s first content update. But hey, in the world of game development, things are as changeable as the weather. The big-ticket items they’ve teased? Still very much in the air. But that’s not stopping them from dreaming big. New mission types, formidable bosses, daily missions, and more are all on the horizon. No dates yet, but anticipation is half the fun, right?
Got ideas? Feedback? Funday’s all ears. They’re inviting players to chime in on their official Discord server. And because no game is perfect from the get-go, they’re also on the case with hotfixes to smooth out those pesky in-game issues.
Oh, and for those who can’t get enough of space dwarf action, hold onto your helmets. Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is brewing in the background. This spin-off, courtesy of the original Deep Rock Galactic’s creators, Ghost Ship Games, promises to sprinkle a roguelite twist on the classic formula. Players will start from scratch in each procedurally generated mission, scavenging for resources and upgrades to beef up the team.
So, there you have it. Funday Games is not just playing games; they’re setting the stage for an epic saga. Stay tuned, folks.
