Dear tinkerers, I am back after a small break after the 1.0 launch and have a lot of new content to show you. ALL NEW MODULE TYPE: SPARK PLUG You might recognize their effects from their former identity as passive nitro bottles that would hand out boost. Nobody loved them, so I made them stronger. They give Turbo now and have their own visual and mechanical identity. New Module: Spark Plug: Deb…
Dear tinkerers, Rogue Voltage is out for one month now. Heartfelt thanks to everybody who picked it up for the 1.0 release and joined the wiring obsession! There are so many games coming out every week in the roguelike genre alone, and they're all splashy and fun and competing for your love and attention, so it means a lot that you picked up my special snowflake!

Dear tinkerers, In 2019, 7 years ago , I had the idea to make a JRPG which you control like a modular synthesizer.

Some players are experiencing a hard lock when trying to enter the camp during a run. It's difficult to reproduce and I am trying to find out what causes this.

Dear tinkerers, thanks so much for playing Rogue Voltage in Early Access. We are well on our way to the version 1.0 and your feedback is helping a lot.

LEGENDARY MODULES: All super rare modules that previously only dropped from ?-Events are now marked as "legendary" and sit in a separate loot table.

Dear tinkerers, thanks so much for playing Rogue Voltage in Early Access - I appreciate all of you very much! Last month of development was all about increasing polish, doing some foundational work and tying up loose ends. The experience is getting tighter, content is filling up and I'm working hard to elevate it even more. NEW MODULES: · Amplification Sensor · Distributor · Acceleration Potion…
Dear tinkerers, you (and me) did it again. We broke the meta. Screenshot by player ACIDGREEN in the Discord Universal Converter + Nitro Bottle Array is now officially the most played combo, towering all other builds. It was fun while it lasted, but it was simply way too strong. In the new update, the Nitro Bottle Array only drops with the "Time Capsule" ?-event (where all the other formerly bro…

Some players reached out that their game progression got corrupted. One line of code in the wrong spot scrambled the save files for everybody who played the last update which was live for 24 hours. I'm extremely sorry about that. Here's two ways to get back on track: Unlock Everything Button Press the new "Unlock Everything" button in the settings menu. Or: Download a progression file Download…
Dear tinkerers, we did a lot of work on the module drop tables this week to produce a more varied ecosystem. Durability Enhancer no longer drops as loot Thank you for letting me collect your player data. This allows me to consult statistics like this one: Module pick rates in uncommon You can see on first glance, that there's something wrong here, namely that the Durability Enhancer is by far t…
