Vincent and Schmitty began work on their task. From their basement headquarter under the stairs, one of the first things they had to tackle was to answer some basic questions: What limitations will they face? Both in terms of the tools they have at hand and the available content. What is the story? Will there be a main character? And if yes, who?
You might have guessed it. Right now both Schmitty and Vincent follow the idea of a handcrafted level. Thoroughly planned from beginning to the end, with high and low points, special segments, a dedicated story, and more.
We’re still curious where everything will lead us. Right now it promises fun.
What are your thoughts??
Anyone up for something new in Rogue Stormers?
While cleaning up today we found some long lost developers living in a hidden room under the stairs in the studio dungeons:Schmitty and Vincent. Wondering what to do with them we finally decided to throw them on Rogue Stormers. Their mission: To design something with the existing assets of RS within two weeks.
Something we don’t even know if it’s possible. But they are sincerely confident to make it, given the deep dungeon expertise they gained during their tenure under the stairs.
We will cover the progress of this experiment, in real time and release information, images, videos and everything we have on it – except the source code, of course – as soon as we have it. You’re free to send us comments, suggestions, your plain thoughts, in fact, we would very much like it if you did so.
We have no idea, where this will end, but we’re eager to see.
With that said… Let the gamesperiment begin.

Rogue Stormers goes Linux
Since the Steam release of Rogue Stormers in April, we have been working on a Linux version. That port has been finished, and is available on Steam now. It contains all the fixes and improvements we delivered for the Windows version. And more!
At the same time we uploaded an update for the Windows version. Apart from a couple of bug fixes, it now features multiplayer compatibility with the Linux version, enabling players of both versions to fight the evil Hector von Garg together.
Happy hunting!
Change-Log (v3205): New Features:
Mod blacklist for weapons.
Multiplayer compatibility with Linux version.
Bug Fixes
Audio - intros + outro sound hearable also if the volume for FX / music is 0.
Presto + Suspension Spring Upgrade == No bouncing primary fire
Overpowered Secondary Weapons Mods: Mods not applying to right projectile.
Local co-op - secondary weapon (recharge per damage) not working for player 2 - 4.
Character changed to Presto if reset the progress during a mission. Now the game exits to main menu.
Pressing and holding secondary fire while the secondary weapon is out of ammunition keeps you from shooting.
Inherit orientation flag not replicated for trigger shapes.
Interface - proper HP bars for Dark Matter (mob); Goblin walker and Battle gate.
Multiplayer - Client - Local player (Host) interface wrong (EXP bar displayed).
Changes:
Goblin walker kill category. They now show up in the damage count grinder.
Blacklisted perforating for surge caster.
Blacklisted bouncing for moonlight claw.
Removed rusty drill from mods.
It returns!
The BFG Live Show is finally back, today at 6PM CEST/12PM EDT on our usual twitch channel.
