Pre-Alpha Rundown (feat.

[@TheCrackersman]

Generic Hero MUST be Karl, right? That legend was unstoppable after all... Until he stopped. This is a great, in depth video by the way; I know the views might be low but don’t let that disparage you, as you’re hitting the exact audience (like me!) that should be hit with videos like this. Thank you for all the effort you’ve put into this!

[@nightfire_CSGO]

I second this!!

[@explorianguy]

Honestly the fact that these reach over 1k views was originally unexpected, especially when you consider how small the viewer base should be for deep exploration of an indie game.

[@leyspun]

that is absolutely Karl

[@gabesterwitz9054]

Karl was unstoppable until the glyphids had enough of his shit and swarmed him.

[@electromancer2645]

This is the first theory I've heard on who Carl is.

[@leonader9465]

I would guess the "2P" in Gunginner and Drillerscout means that it is meant for 2-player games, so two players can fill all four roles at once.

[@-Boomer-]

A good analysis of the pre-alpha turned out. An unexpected, for me, cooperation with sniss. I'm very glad that you come together and create such wonderful content with such excellent presentation, love and a share of humor) Rock And Stone!

[@doublemdoublefun708]

Great videoretelling the early days of alpha. Still impressed by how much has changed throughout they years. Also, good to see drg youtubers for cooperating to release even better content!

[@muffincatgames]

That jelly Breeder is one of the weirdest things, especially since it goes through a Model change! I do hope that Devs one day give us a way to experience these old builds, cause at this point even the closed Alpha is a different product!

[@DesperateDirt]

more DRG Historian and more sniss at the same time is an unexpected delight

[@2AGUST]

"Good luck, Rock Raiders". That made me smile.

[@Lithobraker]

Deep Rock Galactic is just Rock Raiders for big boys.

[@TheMasterplanter]

The Rock Raiders feel was why I picked up the game to start :p

[@ExValeFor]

now this needs to be seen by more of the community. I'm in love with these pre-release tidbits. good job getting sniss on for this too

[@Kanosint]

The Mines non-linear mission looks really awesome, if one thing can be brought back, I'd vote for a mission structure like that.

[@8Phobos8]

Great video as always! Hope to see more of your work soon

[@bike6146]

Love the crossover with sniss.

[@ryanisbossgamer]

The space rig evolutions video was excellent!

[@gotgunpowder]

That intro sounds like a pretty dope idea for a secondary objective tbh. Also love that you say the pre alpha driller doesn't have "axes" rather than just "grenades" because we all know nobody uses the other driller throwables lmao.

[@Voidlingstudiosofficial]

Pesticide: and what did you say again?

[@gotgunpowder]

@@Voidlingstudiosofficial "pesticide"? you mean neurotoxin grenades? lmao you can't even remember the name that's how little it's used.

[@ximbabwe0228]

DrillerScout sounds so fun

[@drakearrington3150]

Generic hero is just Carl in his early spelunking days.

[@AstralPhnx]

Woah they LOVED brood nexuses in this alpha

[@matthewboyd8689]

Generic hero... Karl is that you?

[@gotgunpowder]

Bro, what if the Artifacts are where the ERR cubes come from?

[@aridinanimates]

Here’s the cave layout of Four-Way Dungeon. Spawn + Artifact + Hub + Artifact + Artifact + Artifact

[@CommandantLennon]

It's so interesting to see how many models haven't changed a bit.

[@aridinanimates]

Here’s the cave layout of Mines. Spawn + Nexus + X < Nexus + Treasure > Nexus + X + Treasure = close to Spawn

[@ikcikor3670]

I think the (2P) characters were there in case someone wanted to play co-op in 2 players mode instead of 4

[@fragwagon]

Heck yeah I played DRG when it was still on VHS. #toploaders4lyfe

[@GeneralPathik4201luv]

I search every day for a while, and i have a few hypothesizes from all the evidence and lack of, but im pretty sure there are hidden things we haven't found. On a recent Twitch Stream I asked them about the 'Leaking Pipes in the L4 Bathrooms' and the reply was verbatim, "wouldn't you like to know." So that is either Goading me into looking for nothing, or there is something NOT YET FOUND! ROCK AND SOTNE>

[@colbyboucher6391]

I doubt you'll see this, but the intro really makes me want DRG being a future with shitty 1980s tech canonical

[@winged_destro]

I think maybe (2P) refers to the fact that these classes should be used in 2 player games, because they merge two classes in to one meaning you can get four classes with 2 players (I’m probably wrong, just throwing it out there

[@leyspun]

gungineer sounds pog

[@SoulPriest]

dreamhack gauntlet seems like a cool mission type. wish they'd experiment with a modern version.

[@brockrumery3073]

Hahahah, GOD it’s weird to see the alpha again. I joined during closed alpha 3 (Or 4?) and I’ve watched the game grow from there. It’s amazing to watch an unfinished and unpolished game slowly grow and be changed into an amazing product.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Yeah, I wasn't in it, but I remember seeing footage from back then,talking about how it seemed really promising, and I've always struggled to find anything that old since then.

[@Spaceman510]

great video! Do you know where I can find the audio clip of mission control at 20:10 :"blah blah blah blah blah"?

[@explorianguy]

I put it up on the wiki moments ago: deeprockgalactic.gamepedia.com/Mission_Control/Quotes#Unused.2FCut

[@Spaceman510]

@@explorianguy I see the spot for them on there however the files are missing, or I just can’t see them for some reason

[@explorianguy]

@@Spaceman510 hmm it should've updated by now, try CTRL + SHIFT + R

[@Spaceman510]

@@explorianguy got it! Thank you!

[@ButterDog42069]

I am convinced, Generic Hero is Karl

[@vizthex]

I'm pretty sure the 2P means that the class is intended to be used when you only have 2 players.

[@ratsmeller]

For some reason I kept thinking of Terraria, and I kept thinking this was some 3D terraria game. God, that would've been so interesting.

[@vizthex]

it's so weird to see the classes not have their standard weapons.

[@salami_42]

Woooooo new vid

[@smarty265]

0:40 not gonna sugarcoat it 💀

[@kormana]

Karl is the Generic Hero.

[@AstralPhnx]

Wouldn't it be cool if elements from the pre alpha worked their way into actual cannon in updates

[@SoulPriest]

6 mins into the vid, wish they did something to gold where its more enticing to get like it was in the early alpha. hp and shield boost for the rest of the mission? they could fundamentally change how the game is played today. imagine early on the mission is easy, but with time, enemy count and stats increase, and you'll need to gather gold to upgrade your team's stats. or basically anything that makes players who don't care about credits want to get gold again.

[@CoolSs]

The idea of haveing random portals that take you to older versions of DRG where it one room and you can mine old ores for more XP and meony at end of the mission. That could be nice random event.

[@dragonategaming]

where did you find the generic hero class icon?

[@slimeinabox]

I want to play the pre alpha

[@leyspun]

Someone needs to make a biome based off the original DRG biomes

[@lijaniahsmith8294]

They should make a biome that looks like pre alpha drg

[@kylepassey7813]

"It also purposely avoids spawning Cave Leeches since it assumes you're playing alone." Why oh why can't the modern game do this when you do solo? xD

[@DrStryde]

Damned jellies

[@ZeroStas]

The Hero class......... ........ Karl?

[@dovahkiin_brasil]

Not gonna lie, i liked the old flares

[@leyspun]

Other classes?????????
