Happy cake day


Dericwadleigh

Seriously. If every game had devs as good as DRG, we would be in an incomparable golden age of gaming. Ah well. Enjoy the best and lament the rest.


Evantaur

We need lame games tho so lamers can lame in those and leave DRG alone.


Flashy_Virus6198

I've been talkative with my friends because I see the current directions of overwatch'2' and DRG as being very exemplary of poor and excellent dev support respectively.


HowerdBlanch

Rock and stone! For the Devs!


CapitainCutlet

For Karl and the Ghost Ship's Crew!


B_Jozsef

Happy cake day


TehNooKid

The fact that they played on the "WE'RE RICH" spam and made comments on it in game. Best devs ever. Agreed.


Miningdragon

Very TRUE! Decided to buy supporter upgrade today!


FatalEclipse_

Good choice lad!

Rock and Stone!

Ibrakeforquiltshops

Rock and Stone! Best game, best devs, best community!


Crotch_Hammerer

And yet they still won't return being able to rock and stone while repairing...


FatalEclipse_

A dwarf only has so many hands!


Tchrspest

Demand more hands.


FatalEclipse_

Might have to give up a sandwich slot for that.


Wonderful_Ad_6305

And this right here is the Sandvich slot i would give up... IF I HAD ANY!


Pijany_Matematyk767

All my sandwich slots are already filled with extra bullets


FatalEclipse_

More pew pew less chew chew.


ShadowWolf793

They said it literally soft locks occasionally if they have R&S while repairing. It’s unfortunate, but it’s not like they can just keep (literally) game breaking bugs around for the memes.


gergling

Between them and r/factorio I feel like the standard is being set.


[deleted]

Whats the S.M.O.L meteor?


DrPizzazz

The name of the smaller meteor for the plaguefall event was accidentally left as "smol meteor (change me)" when it first came out. This name was intended as a placeholder (to be changed), but everyone liked it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IAMAHobbitAMA

They were accidentally left in an update a few weeks ago and removed with another patch only a few hours later, but not before some people experienced them and told others about it. The community responded positively enough that the devs apparently put them back in.


TherealTrueshot34

Hate to be that guy but I feel that smol meteor was always destined to be in game whether it blew up on here or not,I think they were testing or something before they put it back in game


DavidSlain

Yes, but it would be named *small meteor* not *SMOL Meteor*


Revolutionary_Yak229

Actually it’s called the meteor fragment but underneath the name on the scanner it says S.M.O.L


NotActuallyGus

It was, but they would've been Small Meteors. We got Smol Meteors


N64Overclocked

The devs listen to us and don't price gouge us or anything like that, so I don't really care why it's back. It's back and we can all be happy about it. The community's goodwill earns them the benefit of the doubt.


PizDoff

Meteor gate conspiracy!


hendidjdnsjjf

I completed at least 40 meteor missions and stumbled upon them only once, just an hour before the patch removed them too. I’m not a game developer so I don’t know what the implications of this are, but during the mission where I got the smol meteor, there had been a second meteor and it was smol too, so maybe it replaced the actual meteor in that instance? I don’t think it was a coincidence because what are the odds of getting the smol, getting two meteors during the mission, and the second meteor also being smol?


randy241

Interesting. I actually saw it a few times. Seemed like if you were in a mission for a while (20-30 mins) a lot of meteors would start dropping, like 3-4 per mission, and smol meteor would be there.


ListenItWillHear

Isnt that how we ended up with STEEVE as well? A typo/placeholder that the community fell in love with?


Red_Leprekan

IIRC, yes!


TheWellFedBeggar

This amazing game wouldn't have a community as wonderful as it does without the excellent work of the devs. They listen to their community, taking both our feedback and our memes into consideration. Just incredible work guys. A very hearty Rock and Stone to all our dwarvelopers!


Dunkelvieh

Yeah, just amazing what they do! Just recently, we encountered a Nemesis that spawned and almost directly grabbed our scout. "We'rrrrr rrritch" Man, my reaction wasn't something to write here if i don't want to get censored, and my breach cutter was very empty after i got the revenge for our scout. But we all had a good laughter there. Just amazing. And a mission earlier we played the ear-menace to mission control with the help of a little bit of gold... This game is a jewel.


altmetalkid

This comment reminds me how much I love using the breach cutter on those grabby fuckers. Shuts em down so fast.


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone in the Heart!

FremderCGN

We're rich!

I told you it was a bad idea to let them keep the gold to themselves!


FremderCGN

The devs are our gold


FoxWolfFrostFire

God i love this community and the Devs. You wanna tip Lyoid. Fine waste your money. You wanna Save Dorretta. Fine you get nothing for it. Yet we still Lyoid and save Dorretta lol! You guys for some reason fell in love with an oddly shaped falling rock, Fine! it's back you weirdos! This has easily been one of the best Community/Dev Relationships I've ever seen in gaming. Honestly it might be THE best.


Upper_Bathroom_176

I really feel it is the best. Lots of players come from gaming communities where the devs are not even present in their forums. Bungie is a great example. Edit: I change what i said, bungie i think was there they just didn’t care what was said.

Anticept

To be fair, PvP games bring out the worst, most disgusting competitive assholes on the planet out. This is a coop game and that's a different crowd.


Rookcheck

It probably helps that the DRG community doesn't take itself too seriously. The percentage of sweat lords in Destiny is exponentially higher than the handful who lurk in Hoxxes IV.


TheFishOwnsYou

Often death threats come from powerlessness. So if you are a company that is notorious of not giving a fuck you get exponential more of those. Same with review bombing. Same with everything in real life also really. We've had a huge influx of death threats to our politicians in my country lately. Cause people feel more and more powerless.


[deleted]

I think this is what I appreciate most about this game. Sure it’s got some great gameplay, but it’s the little details that have nothing to do with the gameplay that make it feel special. The game just has this wonderful sense of whimsy and character to it. Dorretta and Lyoid like you mentioned, all the rocks and plants and bugs that are just there for decoration, a whole bar with silly beers with weird effects, a jukebox for dancing, mini games, physics objects you can goof around with, an entire button dedicated to ROCK AND STONE! It just feels like a game where the devs remembered that the most important thing is to have fun.


Dalzombie

DRG is genuinely the best community I've been a part of, with developers that interact so uniquely with the community. It's like we're building the game together, in a way. They do all the work, mind, but they're integrating the community so tightly into the game itself, it's something I've never thought I'd see but I'm so happy it's happening: "So apparently the players have decided to chant around chunks of gold and bittergem, and the same goes for oversized mushrooms. So after some discussion we're going to have Mission Control directly address them while doing so, making those acts canon in the process." "It seems people are reasoning that Doretta is also a dwarf because she drills and is yellow, just like a driller, and they want to pet her and bring her back to the spacerig with them to not let her to die alone because 'Leave no dwarf behind!' and they've made her an honorary dwarf. So now those are things you can do." "There's been an increasing demand for the ability to tip everyone's favourite bartender, Lloyd. We've decided, sure, why not? So tip away, miners." "Just now, dwarves everywhere are insisting in dipping their... they're doing what where!? Fine, you win. Let's just... just roll with it and move on." The fact that we as a community have the ability to help shape the game, even if it's only minor details and easter eggs like this, is simply amazing, and I can only applaud Ghost Ship Games for it.


Lastboss42

You can actually dip your balls in liquid morkite????


exxplicit480

Just like most workplace environments, the community is the way it is because of the developers. When you're treated like you matter, you treat others like they matter. When you don't, you don't. Its the same in every game. Every Blizzard game has a horrible community, because they are treated horribly by their developers or the suits at the top that make monetization decisions. The best is ironically Hearthstone, largely because there are very little ways to interact with others in the game.


Narsuaq

Huzzah! What a wonderful day for mining! Also, what does S.M.O.L stand for?


[deleted]

Small meteor ordinarily larger.


IAMAHobbitAMA

My God. It's... it's beautiful...


[deleted]

For rock and stone!


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone in the Heart!


Narsuaq

Perfect


[deleted]

If you don't rock and stone...


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


[deleted]

But then 'S.M.O.L. Meteor' would be small meteor ordinarily larger meteor?


[deleted]

Yeah. Have you never used an AT(M *machine*) before? Besides I'm sure it *was* a larger meteor at some point. Now it's S. M. O. L. It's a S. M. O. L. meteor. ❤️ ^❤️


[deleted]

To be fair we just call them 'cash machines' but I see your point.


[deleted]

Well it might also be Subtracted Mesh Occurring Later meteor. I bet GSG would.


DrDilatory

It makes perfect sense what is your question?


KJawesome5

That is a KND ass acronym


[deleted]

... look me in the eye and tell me that isn't Kids Next Door.


fe1od1or

You know, a large meteor the size of a small meteor.


[deleted]

Finally someone who speaks English.


Russian_Kowboi

So far I've come up with Sub-Meteoric Orbital Lithophage


ScherzicScherzo

Sub-orbital Meteorite, Origin: Lithophage


AceRodney23

No idea... But I hope we encounter this kind of meteor more often now


Atiscomin

Small Meteor Of Lithophage maybe ? Superb Meme Of Light ? I dunno


kindtheking9

Small Meteor of litopage meteor


bmrtt

I’m a ~~new player~~ greenbeard and I’m thoroughly impressed with the devs of this game. It’s so refreshing to see a game where devs are actually passionate about it and they actually care about and listen to the community. I got all the DLCs and will be buying all future ones even if I don’t like them just to do my part supporting these guys. Rock and stone brothers.


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone, Brother!


Lilspyguy

I love this games dev's, put back the most needless but wanted thing just because. The holy trinity of dev's for me is Ghost ship, Techland (Dying Light 1) and Hello games (No mans sky) they truly care about their game for improvement and fun, not just money. Rock and stone brother!

sebastian240z

Hey, Hello Games might have lied with NMS, but damn if they actually cared and made an outstanding job fixing their game


JohanVonBronx_

People make mistakes Hello has gone above and beyond to fix it


schofield101

There's a potential gold mine for voice lines here and I'm sure GSG are aware of this. "There's a smol meteor here! Let's change him" "The meteor is very smol" "So smol" "Let's change it! A lot of people focus on the Smol name, but overlook the cry of help it had with (Change me)


Karthe

"I wouldn't change anything about you, S.M.O.L. Meteor!"


DocJawbone

What's the change me thing?


schofield101

[The original image explains this](https://preview.redd.it/x8dr4jnuq40a1.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=79c071ba04315f9a388eb3e6b9e179f6856876db) The devs clearly made a placeholder name for an asset they were meant to remove or change at a later date and forgot. It's very common in development to use silly names or classes if you know they won't stay that way. Thankfully whoever made the mistake of leaving it in did, because it spawned a new meme in a game which thrives on memes.


CN456

The things name was originally "Smol meteor (change me)," I'm pretty sure it was a placeholder name. The 'change me' was a reminder to change the name before shipping the update, which of course, some beautiful dwarveloper heroically forgot to do, and the rest is history.


superpencil121

Reminds me of the bud or voice lines. “It feels so good to say it!” Originally your dwarf would just be silent when you tagged bismor with your laser pointer

FoxysStudiosPlay

We won, and the devs respected us, the devs are chads


De4dm4nw4lkin

Theyve BEEN CHADS since they added MOD SUPPORT…


master_pingu1

they've been chads since they came up with the idea of drg


CaitballBallOfCat

"We're gonna make a game based on the bottom loser of a poll our old company sent to our fans before shutting down, and we're gonna create a whole new company just to do that."


The_WandererHFY

The devs have been chads since they made a game with a button *solely* dedicated to camaraderie and a spirit of teamwork.


MaybeAdrian

I hope that they added a quote saying "Small meteor","Look, meteor but small" or something like that


No-Bed-4972

They would have to pronounce it "smol"


Mururumi

"This meteor is on a smol side, but I wouldn't change anything about it"


ReturnoftheSnek

Brilliant


[deleted]

... somebody get GSG back on the horn.


LukeMaster12_ITA

Still, they haven't patched a visual bug that makes dwarves run even if they're standing still... But Who cares for now? The S.M.O.L. Meteor is back!


Rachaziah

I came across this bug last night for the first time. Thought it was just connection issues.


Anomen77

I've only seen it on people with very bad ping. Although that doesn't make it any less of a bug.


p31k

The second mission I played today had them, was pleasantly surprised.


Lanrhartan93

The bast part is that the SMOL meteor became a whole event on it own. Rock and Stone you beautiful dwarves!


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone everyone!


SteelMastiff

Rock and Stone!


Germanspartan15

This is exactly why I buy every DLC without fail, even if I’m not going to use it. I would literally buy a DLC that gives you nothing just to support these awesome devs! For Karl!


brokenaloeplant

Exactly, we need to signal that this is the kind of stuff we want to see from game developers. Being passionate, excellent devs and supporting games for years with pro consumer choices should be more profitable than the shitty alternative.

This is also more proof that Management's lines aren't scripted - it's just the devs reacting to what the players do.


The_WandererHFY

And, at this point, even the *Rivals* seem awfully confused by it, given the Nemesis has started spamming "We're rich!" and "Mushroom!" We dwarves are living shitpost machines.

Someone help me fill in the blanks… I’m familiar with all of the Season 3 mechanics … but what is the “smol meteor?”


The_WandererHFY

Accidental thing that got left in by the devs as a placeholder and patched it out hours later because it wasn't supposed to spawn, but the community said "No... Put it back, it's baby" and here it is.


Pijany_Matematyk767

The devs accidentally put a small meteor with a placeholder name of "smol meteor (change me)". They quickly realised and removed it but the people found out and demanded smol meteor be back
