Hey all, I'm excited to announce that Roguefort's first raid dungeon, The Monadic Descent, now has a working leaderboard! This is the first of a series of raid dungeons that are accessible by going into the Old Mouth (the game's multiplayer trading hub) and heading to the north-east staircase. Test your skill at the game by trying to beat the top scores. It is essentially a speedrun leaderboard…
Roguefort 0.19.4 — Patch Notes Hey everyone, It's patch time again - I've been hard at it fixing your bug reports and adding suggestions, so thanks to everyone as always for this. I'm excited for this update because it is the culmination of months of work, because... drum roll... Roguefort is getting competitive raid dungeons! If you go into the Old Mouth trading hub and head to the north east…
Hello affineurs aged and fresh, A hotfix patch for the playtest, all thanks to you. The big one is probably for the high vision builds, where if players had high enough vision stats then monsters stopped spawning in the overworld simply because they had nowhere to "pop in" without being seen as popping in. So, that's fixed now, and so there will be hopefully no more Confused John Travolta memes…
Hey everyone, A quick hotfix today, with the main purpose of fixing a bug where enemies nearby settlements and your base couldn't deal damage to the player. This is fixed along with some changes to how wild the world feels close to your starting spawn area on new runs (it's a little wilder, let's say suitably so, I hope). The rest is QoL and jank fixes. Thanks as always for the playtesting and…
Hey everyone, Like I say in every update, I'd like to say a big thank you to you, the community. All your bug reports, suggestions, and threads have made it possible to keep improving the game and making it more enjoyable and accessible to play. First up, there are OVER 100 NEW SPRITES from the amazingly talented pixel art team on Discord - that's @ArkHaven @MerlinTheQuestioner and @DatSheepDoe…
Roguefort Playtest - 0.16.4 Hello affineurs! I've been hard at it over the past fortnight and this update packs in two weeks of work into one build. The game should feel more polished to play (especially co-op), the majority of the reported bug fixes should be resolved, and it should feel like a lot less jank and a lot more polish. Lo and behold, when I tallied it up there were 733 commits betw…
Hey everyone, As I mentioned in the roadmap post on Discord (#general), this is the last update for a week or two. I will be going into engineering mode and getting the code base back into shape, ready for the next few months of heavy work and polishing. This update is a small and speedy one, which follows on directly from 0.14.0. Actually, a lot of what is in here is *suggestions*, though ther…
Roguefort Playtest - 0.14.0 Hey everyone, First of all, thanks as always for the extraordinary amount of bug reports, suggestions, and discussions over the last few days. I've been working around the clock to get to it all, but it's all thanks to you. The numbers are kinda nuts - 77 of the bug report and suggestion threads are now implemented. There were 66 bug and 11 suggestions in total that…
Roguefort Playtest - 0.13.1 I've been making so many changes to the dev build so quickly that I might have mistaken what was actually IN the main shipped build last night (for 0.13.0). Which means there's a bit more to this patch than meets the eye. The main headlines are a perks rework thanks in large part to NalathniDragon, who has given me excellent and detailed design advice. And to ArkHave…
Roguefort Playtest v0.13.0 Hello Roguefort playtest crew! Today's patch is a very bug-squashing and QoL focussed one. I'm kinda in awe of the scale and the detail of the reports you've all sent in, and to honour that I decided to go as hard as I could to get through as much as possible. So what follows is a fairly hefty slew of new features, bug fixes, and changes. Where applicable I've added c…
Hey folks, a quick hotfix update for a netcode issue to address high latency when playing co-op (especially over long distance connections). A big thanks to T-StalkerZero on Discord for reporting this and discussing it. Hopefully, it does the trick! Patch notes: - Movement commands now have an ID on them. When you're the joiner, walking doesn't happen on your machine — each step is a request se…
Roguefort Playtest — 0.12.1 Hi everyone, it has been a wild couple of days with so much happening in the Roguefort community and in the development process. This is another behemoth update, which not only addresses a host of bug fixes and suggestions, all thanks to YOU the community, but also adds some big new features and changes. A special thanks to the pixel art team for the new sprites that…
I'm delighted to welcome everyone today to the Roguefort open beta playtest. Instead of my usual spiels, I'm going to do a short FAQ tonight. Q: What is the playtest? A: It's the full game in beta form. You get access to the entirety of the game as it currently stands, though there's probably only about 80% of the content that will be at launch. I have a number of dev branches with big features…
Roguefort Playtest — 0.11.0 Hey everyone, another big update tonight, and some big news. This is the pre-open-beta update! For those open beta testers who are seeing this for the first time, welcome to Roguefort. I hope you enjoy the playtest beta and please do join Discord if you haven't already. I am grateful for any feedback and suggestions. The game has been built by the core playtest team…
Roguefort Playtest — 0.10.0 I'm very underslept but glad to get this update out, as it's pretty massive. It has a pile of content I had squared away in dev branches, which I've been inspired to just get out there, as there seems appetite for it amongst the beta test team. A lot of bug fixes too - a huge number of them. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support and feedback and championing of the…
Roguefort Playtest, 0.9.3 Hey Beta tester team, this patch has quite a few bug fixes - major ones, in fact. Some relating to world generation, others to UI and UX. Thanks so much for the reports - I am burning the afterburners hot every day just to keep up, and it's awesome. The Undermaw issues * Elfie hunted the continent for the Undermaw and never found it, because it wasn't there. Entry is g…
Roguefort Playtest 0.9.2 A suggested/requested feature from ArkHaven reminded me that I had not integrated the volcanic biome and all the fun goodies in that region from the branch it was on into the main game. So, like the moniker of this patch suggests, strap yourselves in for a whole new biome (the promised volcanic region) which has named dragons, and for the time being a bunch of programma…
Thank you andygeorge for the swift and detailed bug report! Melee combat was broken in this build due to a classic variable name error, and it's now fixed.
Roguefort Playtest - 0.9.0 Big one this time - a couple days worth of heavy dev work packed into one patch. The headline is a full combat and balance overhaul - the danger curve, armor, evasion, backstab and loot all got reworked so that going deep actually means something and the numbers stop breaking at the top end. On top of that: a ground-up dungeon variety pass, the next act of the main st…
Roguefort Playtest — v0.8.9 As Tupac once said, it's all about you. Thanks everyone for the many detailed bug reports and suggestions over the past day. I've gone ham on them today again, and so tonight is the latest patch with all the goodies in it. There's quite a bit packed in here - I've done my best to itemise it and offer feedback in the same spirit as the detailed feedback you've all pro…
Roguefort Playtest v0.8.8 Another incredible day on the tools, fixing bugs left, right, and center. Thanks everyone for going above and beyond with the bug reports, suggestions, and patience in this early stage of the beta - detailed patch notes as follows. I've tried to get the details as accurate as possible but please forgive me if I have: · Got something slightly wrong in the write-up · Mis…
Roguefort Playtest v0.8.7 Tim: thanks everyone! First 8 hours or so of the playtest has been mindblowing, lots of fun, and very productive for fixes. I've tried to fix a few critical issues and some of the early bugs. I'll keep at it - happy playing and see you all on Discord :-) · Looking at a tile with the keyboard (X) and hovering with the mouse now give the same description - keyboard look…
