New devlog talking about the creation of RIG Riot and some of the decisions I made along the way. Check it out! I can't wait for you all to have the game in your hands on September 14th! -Sage
Hey all, hope you're well. I just wanted to provide a little update on what to expect in terms of timing for the launch of RIG Riot. If you've been keeping an eye on the game's Steam page you will have seen that the launch month has slowly crept back. As of typing I just set it to August, but I wanted to provide a little more detail to anyone interested. Progress toward completing the game is g…
Hey folks, a pretty notable bug was found related to updating friction values for different movement modes. This patch fixes that but it might make some things feel different, let me know if you like it or hate it. I did test it out in the playtest beforehand and feedback was good so I felt it was worth pushing out. Changes - Made turbo boost section in the tutorial easier Bug Fixes - Fixed the…
Changes - Added support for chain procs to projectiles spawned by augments or volatile mods - Stat tooltips can now be viewed at any time when hovering with the mouse instead of only when stat explanations are enabled Bug Fixes - Removed achievement reward descriptions for certain achievements that have changed since they were initially implemented - Fixed garage performance degradation Note: G…
Changes - Outer part drops from the introductory raid are now all based on the starter sets and are no longer guaranteed to include an 'Expendable' shell - Red objective location indicator is now moved upon picking up package delivery packages - Objective compass icon indicating package location is now removed upon picking up package delivery packages - Improved button size scaling behavior Bug…
Hey Folks, Thanks for being patient while I worked on this patch. The main focus here is onboarding, which required a lot of things to be adjusted & reworked under the hood. That stuff being in-progress also meant that I couldn't really push bug fixes out as quickly as usual, which is not my favorite. I'm really looking for feedback on this update, especially on balance and how easy it is for y…
Hey folks, got some buffs for quad legs and some bug fixes. Also, Next Fest has started so if you're willing I'd love some help spreading the word about RIG Riot. Hope you're having fun with the update! Changes - Innate Dash Boost Duration multipliers from leg parts now also apply to Dash Boost Cooldown Note: Quads have reduced Dash Boost Duration due to being focused on a "burstier" playstyle.…
Hey folks, this is the first set of bug fixes for the recent Quad Leg update. More fixes are in the works but I wanted to get some of the major issues addressed quickly. Let me know if you run into any issues or if you're having a good time with the update :D Changes - Switched name of Void Slot to Blocked Slot and updated description to include an explanation of how to leave a slot empty but o…
Hey folks, this update is the last content update planned for the demo and it adds RIG Riot's second leg type, Quad Legs. Quad Legs are much more focused on ground-based gameplay, and you will have a chance to receive a set anytime you receive a new Leg part. I'm very excited to hear what you all think about them! In addition to Quad Legs, this update also includes an update to the starter weap…

Many of these are based on community requests so let me know what you think. There are also definitely things I forgot to mention so keep an eye out and keep the feedback coming.

Changes - The player now receives additional scrap rewards per objective based on how many objectives have been completed - Your RIG is no longer prevented from turning during a Dash Boost Balance - Energy Blade length increased (400 ->…
Hey folks, today's update is focused on improving the Tutorial. One of RIG Riot's biggest weaknesses is that it does not explain itself well, so I'm trying to improve that. Even if you've played the tutorial already I suggest taking another run through, just in case. Let me know what you think and what you would improve- I assume there is still some iteration to do. Also, a personal note: today…
Hey folks, hotfix here to fix dual wielding. If you didn't know, you can equip a second copy of a weapon if you find it as an upgrade and click a valid open slot before selecting your upgrade. Note that you do need to have enough weapon capacity available, otherwise you will just receive an upgrade to your existing weapon. Bug Fixes - Fixed inability to dual-wield weapons
Hey folks, small update here with a fix to the mod duplication bug and a couple other little Quality of Life improvements.

Hey folks, little fast-follow patch here for the demo. Menu tweaks, bug fixes, and new player experience improvements are all still happening, I just wanted to get a couple changes in. I've attempted to improve hit feedback for gunplay so let me know if it feels better or worse. I also tweaked the default target selection values, same goes for that. Personal note: I've been overwhelmed by the a…

Hey folks, here's the state of steam deck performance 2 weeks out from launch. Performance In my own testing the game runs on steam deck between 40-50fps during most gameplay. If you're looking for the most consistent experience I'd recommend locking the game at 40fps. As you might expect with a roguelike it does dip a little as your run continues but it mostly stays above 40fps. Recommended Se…

Hey folks, I hope you're all well! It has been about 5 days since I opened the playtest up to the public and the response has been awesome so far. I've received a ton of feedback that has been super helpful already, and I just thought it would be worth making sure you all know that I hear you and am working on improving the game's weaknesses. This post is mostly focused on the areas for improve…
New devlog talking about what I've been working on for the last month or so, as well as an opportunity to see some of the new models for the RIGs! -Sage
New devlog talking about some changes I'm making to the game's roguelike progression systems! To those looking for playtest/demo news: I know I keep throwing dates out that don't happen- I promise it's not intentional. Ultimately my biggest priority is making sure the game is in the best state possible ahead of the steam playtest since it will roughly triple the amount of folks trying the game.…
