yeah couldn't agree more especially when you consider Matt D. puts out a game by himself that's better than most AAA titles with teams of people and a monster budget.

I bought it on Gog for like 2 bucks i keep trying to get my friends into it

Got the "Quadruple A" game development companies nervous with this one. Matt is solo spearheading making 2024 the Year of the Indie Dev.

Even SoR1 was a marvel of a game for a single dev it holds its own against some AAA games (cough starfield cough)

It's honestly amazing being able to make an open world map with interconnected cities that are procuderally generated. Props to the developer for actually making this a reality.

THIS is the game I've been looking forward to the most in 2024. Been at at the very top of my Steam Wishlist for a while.

Will you make Secret Neighbor game for android devices?

Looking good. Can't wait to play!

The devlogs are appreciated. I could care less when upcoming games throw teasers to retain anticipation. Having the dev break down is very nice. Both as a transparent business move, but even more importantly in the interest of the art. It's fascinating information, to be given a general idea of how this is done.

i too love when devs have mental break downs! :D

Damn, man. Setting up world generation sounds and looks easy, but you can tell it’s probably HELL to work out all the kinks.

Very excited for this one. I've spent countless hours playing the first one.

244.1 hours on SOR1 how long have you played?

I really hope Matt considers letting us give npc's The Sims treatment! I would absolutely love to be able to trap a bunch of people in a room, and come back a few days later only to see skeletons, or maybe just one big cannibal!

I've played streets of rogue since its beta. This game has gone a long ways since its development. You're doing a great job, can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Can't wait! Streets of Rogue is my favorite rogue like and is SO underrated!

"Less Cruel than the Sims" Should be added to the quotes on the release trailer.

love it

Each time I see a new video from this sequel, I get more and more excited. It's crazy how each new reveal hypes me even more !

Matt, thank you for showing some of how the sausage is made. You're truly a brilliant guy and a masterful mind for making games.

Dude, this is... Holy Toledo... The variety of stuff to do in SoR 1 impressed me. Yer gonna slap all this in an OPEN WORLD now? With even MORE features? DUDE!!! SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't imagine how much work this must be. Thank you for doing it and I look forward to the finished product!

This is bound to be one of my favorite games of all time, cant wait!!!

Seconded!

the selfish side of me wants you main line coffee and never sleep to keep working on this game so I can play it as soon as possible, lol! But seriously, get your rest, take your time. It's going to be great! And maybe throwing a little bit of the sims into it would be cool too. Like maybe the whole getting a spouse and a 9 to 5 kinda thing. I think I probably speak for most of us players when I say that the greatest thing about the first SOR that really made it shine aside from the surgical precision with the Proc Gen was the fun with trying to create a custom character that could break the balance of the game a little bit. If i went the rest of my life with there never being a sequel I'd die happy so the fact that you've already put this much work into SOR2 is just icing on the cake now. Thank you so much for all the work you've put into both and thanks ahead of time for the work you will continue to put in, Matt.

I'd be interested in an episode about procedurally generating missions, too

"I was not planning to allow NPCs to soil themselves or starve to death, but, you know, I guess we'll see if there is demand for it." YES! I'd love to see needs added both to the player and NPCs, it'd make the world feel so much more alive.

this is my most anticipated thing ever

For me the best thing about SoR was that despite it being 'linear' - complete the floor and move on - it felt like anything could happen, with or without the players input, so now making the game one big open world, procedural, and with more features, it feels like anything could happen even more! so I'm pretty hype for this!

It looks amazing! I'm really looking forward to the second part!

13:35 Seems like a fitting area to fit in like a little parking lot or something too, not all buildings/businesses should just have on-street parking after all!

@ytivarg5371

i agree parking lots would be a perfect idea and parks too

Looking good Matt. I am looking forward to playing this. I also have a buddy that wants this game, so me and him can play co-op, which will be fun just like the first game.

All this stuff already looks kinda fascinating and it'll be very interesting to see it in action! Good luck!

Regarding the creation of different buildings/cabins, you should check out the wave-function collapse algorithm. It could allow you to prodecedurally create cabins instead of manually having to design each one of them.

Matt has heard of it, it's decent for creating wall layouts, but ultimately it's probably better for games that are a bit more abstract in their presentation. SoR2 requires a lot of detailed object placement to make buildings look good.

Can't wait, was skeptical by the the new open world direction, but looks like you're handling it :)

WoW, I loved it, when it comes out I'll be playing it!

I bought my friend streets of rogue a week ago, he now has over 33 hours in the game. I have with the help of Matt created an addict. He is a member of the crepes

Impressed as always, you're one of the best devs I've seen!

I've been waiting so long for this game. I still play streets rouge regularly. Probably my top played game on steam for years now.

I'm SO excited. Thank you for sharing some news and peeks. Really enjoyed it. Gonna love the game.

If the npcs in the game are "Live" it will definitely be the game of the year I mean, if the npcs have needs, if they work and their actions have some effect on the world (for example, a farmer picks up harvest tiles and it disappears, then he sows the field again, and goes to sell the harvest to the nearest store, or replenishes his trade store) it will be awesome. That's what I meant when you said about hunger in the npcs like in the sims. I developed this idea a little in my head and thought of something like that. For another example, just replace farmer with any other profession, like a cop who comes to a call because some random npc started robbing him or something like that

If you notice any mistakes in the text, I apologize, translated via deepl

You may want to look at the GDC talk on waveform collapse being used for procgen in Caves of Qud. It gives you much better control over edge cases and allows for more detailed cities without turning in a mess.

very good work! the world appreciates your passion and persistence!

Literally the game I am most excited for this year. I cannot wait to play this

You are a source of inspiration, sir. Streets of Rogue is one of my favourite games of all time. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Date of release, damn you! In all seriousness though; thank you for sharing these behind the code/scenes blogs, they are fascinating and greatly appreciated.

You're one of the greatest Indie creators ever Matt. I know the sequel is going to be completely worth the wait. Streets of Rogue is perhaps my favorite game.

Жду с нетерпением вашу игру! I love Streets of Rogue!

You should add bridges in the future as part of the road algorithm

First game was one of my all time favorites and this seems like it'll definitely surpass its predecessor. Keep up the great work!

With all certainty I will play this game. Most probably whenever I have time which will probably be at 2:47am. These updates are very much appreciated!

I am SO excited for this lol we're definitely gonna do a playthrough

Streets of Rouge is still my most played game on switch. This sequel looks amazing

That looks really amazing. Great work. Thank you.

First game was amazing, I already got all the achievements last year. Very excited for the next one!

this video was amazing. very high quality and exactly the type of content that i am constantly looking for. thank you guys so much!

so hyped for this sequel

Very excited to see more as the game develops!

It would be interesting to see roads that can cross water tiles to dynamically create bridges. That way main roads don't trace around an entire lake or river to get to a city when it could have crossed a few water tiles in the middle. Also, a river passing through a city could make for an interesting city full of bridges and water front locations.

Nice. Can't watch right now but good to know development is going smoothly.

Wow man. Amazing. Thanks for showing us your work so far. Can't wait to play the game! Please don't feel the need to rush this masterpiece. Edit: maybe make the cars explode if they hit a wall as a fun idea.

I am so hyped for this game such a great evolution

i can not wait for this game also this video is very informative for any game developer watching it helped me with my own projects matt should run lessons on game development

Awesome!

I was of course excited for these dev logs because of how much I want to play SOR2, but I didn't expect them to make me laugh too :P

Streets of Rogue is such a fun and charming game! Really looking forward to the next installment! Really interesting to see all the thought processes and decision making going on behind the scenes. Keep up the good work! It's on my wishlist!

Matt Dabrowski is KING.

i love how it looks !!! cheers

This got me beyond excited. The whole map is so big there’s so going to be so much stuff to do

Me and my buddy are so hyped for this game! We love Streets of Rogue and can't wait to get up to all kinds of shenanigans in an open world! Thank you Matt for making my favorite game :)

Hyped for this game, absolutely loved the first!

Once you see that he never blinks thoughout the video, you'll never unsee it

The scope of this game is crazy - can't wait to just wander around these random countries and get up to hijinks!

Looks GREAT!

Looks very good can’t wait to play

props to him to make this seems comprehesible. i was lost at 3 minutes mark 🤣

Men doing madness over here. I love it. Glad my curiousity got me clicking

I can't freaking wait for this! :D Streets of Rogue is my tied favorite Roguelike/Roguelite together with Darkest Dungeon 1! Open world chaos and bs sounds like so much fun!

can't wait for this game to come out. SoR 1 has brought me the most fun I've had in a while

watched it, this is actually quite good stuff to watch be built

Looking super neat and inspiring, thanks for the video!

So hyped for this game!!!

Mad respect!

Y'know, playing the first game I kept thinking to myself how much I'd like the successor to be a spin on open world games with permanence and all the implications that brings with it ... I'm so glad you're daring to blow up #2 to such enormous proportions! Can't wait to get my filthy hands on it and mess it up! 😂

it looks super duper promising! love you guys!

14:10 it would be funny if police could hand you a ticket for jaywalking

Can't wait to play this. Looks like it's going to be so much crazier than the first one.

I like how matt is just phasing in and out of existence piecing together the best game of all time

absolutely hyped, keep up the good work!

Man this is going to be so much fun. It feels like the kind of thing that could be added to a lot for a long time too.

Thank you so much guys, such a unique game. That game as given me more fun and hours than most games.

Looks great Matt, looking forward to it!

I just came to see how Streets of Rogue 2 is developing, and I didn't expect to learn anything useful about generation. It's cool - your explanations are simple and clear. it's funny with barrels) P.s thanks to Google translator

This brought a tear to my eye

beautiful as always

I cant wait to play this game. it is really giving me a kind of nostalgia for the older GTA titles and knowing how much fun Streets 1 was I can see myself getting lost in these worlds for a good long while. I also really appreciate your little window into the development process, as an aspiring indie developer it was really cool to see how you can take such a basic program and use it to breathe so mush natural seeming content to the world map. Looking forward to more dev logs!

Dude! I am stoked!

BEST OF LUCK. Hope everything goes well during the development.

An interesting concept would be releasing a sort of "building builder" program ahead of time that lets players make building maps and then upload them to an archive of sorts for you to draw from for procedural generated content? (after a bit of filtering to weed out the messed up and/or inappropriate designs ofc.) This would lighten the workload by letting the community mass produce tons of buildings for you to use, and make for an fun/interesting way for fans to contribute to the games development.

It's really great, This game will be an amazing game we have never experienced before

I'm so keen for this XD

I'm already hyped about fight against rogue robot army

One of the only two games I'm genuinely excited for and highly looking forward to. Keep up the great work Matt! PS. We yearn for the NPCs to soil themselves

I just wanted to ask, Matt, when the game launches, do you plan on taking player-made buildings/chunks and adding those to the randomized pool to further improve the diversity of the game's landmarks? You alone can only hand-craft so many, but thousands of players crafting even just one or two buildings each could sextuple the amount existing ingame within just a few months!

I think the current system is pretty ideal, giving players the ability to make things and put them in the workshop for others but still needing to manually toggle them on. Custom content is wildly varying in style and quality, it wouldn't be a good idea to have it universally injected in for everyone.

@Klokinator

@@TheSquareOnes Yes, obviously there would be some quality control system. Matt himself could just look at and pick the best ones, even.

This idea kinda reminds me of Spore, where you could encounter creatures, buildings, etc made by other players.

I CANT WAIT!!!! But at the same time take as much time as u need😊

16:40 - Survival mechanics could actually be fun, having the player and NPCs have needs like in the Sims. Would work well with the new Farmer class that is featured in the trailer and generally the ability to grow food. It could also play into the game's economy, since it was mentioned how destroying a Fud factory could increase prices because the supply will be lower. Unless this is just like a random increase to Fud prices to simulate that there could actually be a supply and demand. Though I dunno if simulating a whole economy with supply&demand plus having NPCs have their own needs would go beyond the scope of the game. Maybe NPCs would have simplified needs. Having Needs would also be another way to differentiate classes by having some have unique needs. Like a Vampire doesn't eat food or needs to sleep but obviously needs blood and perhaps has a meter that decreases in the sun. Maybe a Werewolf has an increasing bloodlust meter and will need to vent some of that once in a while. I don't particularly care about having a restroom need, but it would give restrooms another use I suppose. Though I wouldn't go further with it than the Sims did. And of course these survival things could perhaps be made optional with a mutator in case someone hates that stuff, options are always good.
