“Then he had this prototype of a crazy mesh generated procedural look that we ended up with, and it's still like, this is just awesome, but how does it actually work?" “Our CTO just took a week away and when he returned he said, 'I have something'," confessed CEO and Co-founder Søren Lundgaard. “The biggest obstacle was the procedural world because we knew that it would be the main technical thing we were going to do and we weren't really sure how to do it at all,” said Lead Programmer & Co-founder Jonas Solhøj Møller. “So everytime you go on a mission, you get to play in a new exciting environment.” “The way that Deep Rock Galactic sets itself apart from other co-op shooters is because we have 100 percent destructible environments that are procedurally generated,” Pedersen told us. Of course, every adventure needs something unique to help it stand out from the crowd and for the team at Ghost Ship Games, the elements of interactivity and surprise were something they latched onto early. It's just a really good game to go on an adventure with some friends in.” “It has this combination of intense action and exploration that I don't think you'll find in any other co-op game out there. “Deep Rock Galactic is a first-person co-op shooter where you and three of your friends can team up and play as a bunch of badass space-mining dwarves,” said Ghost Ship Games Game Director & Co-founder Mikkel Martin Pedersen.
With a strong game concept and the desire to develop community at its core, the team tasked itself with doing something many developers struggle to achieve - find the fun. “From day one, we went into this with a dream of doing proper open development to really communicate with our community,” said Art Director and Co-founder Robert Friis. Although there were many unknowns at the onset, the team had one clear objective in mind - incorporating player feedback while in Early Access. Ironically, the game, which has now sold over 500,000 units in Early Access, embodies many of the same elements as the small startup’s scrappy development journey - from exploration and discovery to teamwork and steady progression, the quest to make something great isn’t unlike one of Deep Rock’s exciting expeditions.
