• Roboquest - Multiplayer Hotfix - 25 March 2026

  Hello Guardians!We've been watching the reports about the multiplayer for a while now, the negative reviews, and the kind requests to fix it.So we worked hard on our end and asked for help from SpaceRock (another development studio) and Epic Games. And with that, we managed to find a solution for the "session ID failing to generate" (leaving you unable to play in multiplayer with your friends).It was a arduous task as we had no way to recreate the problem internally, nor was SpaceRock. And the error message we were receiving from our backend was very vague (something like "random server problem").Everything pointed towards an issue between Steam failing to connect to the multiplayer platform we're using (Epic Online Services) and Epic confirmed that with us.So we've integrated a failsafe in case that happens, where we're silently generating an identifier allowing you to connect to EGS i…

• After a decade of development, Roboquest's developer is calling time on its roguelite shooter: 'There's no way we can continue to provide content for players with over 1,000 hours of gameplay' - 10 May 2025

  When I was a kid, post-launch support was a concept reserved mainly for NASA, and rarely the domain of video games. Sure, you might download the odd online patch on your 56k modem to fix particularly gnarly bugs. But that was more or less it. These days, it's expected that games will be supported for months and even years after release. And this support isn't limited to fixing bugs: Developers are expected to add new, often free content to their games if they want to keep those Steam reviews in the blue... Read more.

• After nearly five years, beloved roguelike Roboquest is finished for good - 7 May 2025

  Back in the late summer of 2020, RyseUp Studios put its roguelike FPS Roboquest out on Steam Early Access, after many years working on the game before it was ready for players to preview. Over time, it went on to garner a solid reputation, its all-time 'overwhelmingly positive' user rating on Valve's platform placing it alongside renowned fast-paced shooters like Echo Point Nova and action-heavy roguelikes such as Returnal or Hades 2. Now, after supporting the game for nearly five years, RyseUp has announced that it's ready to cease work on Roboquest. Read the rest of the story...

• Roboquest - The End of the Journey - 7 May 2025

  Hello Guardians. It is with great emotion that we write this devblog today. We’ve been quite silent for the past months, not knowing exactly what to say, how to say it or when to say it. But today’s the day. 2025 marks nearly a decade working on Roboquest, and it also marks the end of the journey for the game. We know many of you would have loved to see more updates, more content, more Roboquest. But that isn't something we are able to deliver. Spending as much time on the same project takes a toll, and no matter how passionate we have been about Roboquest, it is finally time for us to look at new horizons. When we first designed Roboquest, it was never meant to be what is called today "a game as service". Pumping out updates just for the sake of "maintaining the game" was never on the cards. Yet, we tried to scrap whatever we thought could constitute "good additions" to the game (some…

• Roboquest - News - 21 March 2025

  Hello Guardians! It's been quite a while since our previous news, but today we're back with a bunch of news mostly related to the Playstation port of Roboquest. 1 Million This past month, we reached a significant milestone, not only for the game, but also for our studio in general. Roboquest has sold over 1 million copies across all platforms. When we started the journey, we were mostly focused on living our passion, and making a great game. We were obviously hoping to have a bunch of players following us along the way, liking (or loving!) our game. At least enough to continue being able to make games. And you made us able to do so, you validated the work we've done as a passion. And now we reached 1 million sales. To be honest, we never dreamt of even half this success. Many people we came across and sometimes required help from didn't believe in it as well. This was tough, but we pers…

• Roboquest - Mid-January Patch - 16 January 2025

• Roboquest - Hotfix 1.5.2 - 11 December 2024

  Hello Guardians. We just released yet another hotfix for the Endless Update and we're continuing to monitor the feedback and bug / crashes are continuing to being tracked.

• Roboquest - Make It Double - 20 November 2024

  Hey again Guardians. This is the final devblog for the incoming Endless Update. And it's going to be a short one. Let's talk about bosses. Endless Mode and Bosses We contemplated for a while what to do with Bosses in the Endless Mode. Are they even there? Yes, obviously, not adding them would make the game quite different from the normal mode, and probably hinder the build diversity in the process. Not only that, that would also be quite sad not to find your favourite Mole to whack. But, do we just add those as they are right now? Since you probably already fought them a lot and know their attack patterns and behaviour by heart, that might be lacking some kind of… novelty? And we’re adding a “new mode”. That meant we needed something “new” to go along with. And at some point we were like “you know Diggy Mole, we like him, and players seem to like him as well”, “so what if there were TWO…

• Roboquest - Over Nine Thousands - 18 November 2024

  Hello Guardians. Here's the third out of four quick devblog about the Endless Update. Today we'll be discussing the progression systems that support the Endless Mode. Singularity & Glitches When we were designing the new mode, we realized we needed something that would make Endless Mode more complete in its intent to be a replayable experience. And we felt like a "mutator" system would be a great solution to that. We called those "Singularities and Glitches". There are "main mutators" (Singularity) and "secondary mutators" (Glitch). Whenever you defeat a boss, it adds a random Singularity to your run, up to a certain maximum. And every other level completed, it adds a random Glitch to your run, endlessly. Singularity have a greater impact on your run whereas Glitch tend to modify metric values from the base game or from the Singularities that were added to the run. Pretty much like "ene…

• Roboquest - Saving the Day - 14 November 2024

  Guardians, it's us again. We're back with more information on the Endless Update. Save & Resume The "Save & Resume" feature is coming in the Endless Update. "Finally, this should have been there day one". You'd probably be correct to think that. But it wasn't and there isn't much more we can say about it other than "our bad, sorry". To be fair, that was a lot of work and we wanted to make sure the main game architecture was final before starting it. But it's finally coming. When finishing a level, you'll be given the choice to "Save and Quit" the game. This will bring you back to the title screen. From there, clicking "Continue" will launch your saved run while clicking "Basecamp" will erase your saved run and... bring you back to the Basecamp for a fresh start (after a confirmation window, obviously). Please note that this feature is not available in multiplayer, only in single player.…

• Roboquest - That Which Has No End - 12 November 2024

  Hello Guardians! Today we're back with a (short) devblog to talk about the elephant in the room. The "Endless" thingy. Let's hero cape right down :) The Endless Update Like many of you have guessed, the "Endless Update" is about adding an Endless Mode to the game. But there are many ways to implement such a system, so which direction did we go? To Loop or not to Loop The first major question we had to answer was "would the endless mode be based on playing another run while keeping all your perks from the previous one?". Basically "looping" through the game. And the simple answer we came up with was "no". Looping wasn't the best choice for the experience (in our opinion), a few examples of what bothered us: After your first run, there would not be much more to give you without breaking the power ceiling in either way (you or the enemies) The base path of the levels of the game and the qu…

• Roboquest - 8 years in the making - 7 November 2024

  Hello Guardians! Today's a special day, it marks the first anniversary of the 1.0 release. But it is also more or less the eighth year we've been working on it and the fourth year since its first Early Access public release. To celebrate, we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and take you with us (or at least those interested in it). In this post, we'll be showcasing some (very) old footage alongside visuals you've probably never seen before. It will highlight the different phases the project went through. And that later became the game you're playing now. The Beginning? "Eight years?!" You might think it's too long for a game this size. And you'd probably be right. But truth be told, when we started, most of us had just graduated out of school. We thought we were ready to make games (we clearly didn't expect that kind of journey). So we just started… We worked on a prototype, bo…
