Space Rogue Patch Notes — July 27, 2017
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
You've waited long enough!
Today we're happy to announce that Workshop is finally available. Let the Steam update Space Rogue to the latest version, and begin designing your own cosmic adventures!
Stories Created By You
Try yourself in the role of the game designer and share your creativity with other players! With the Workshop, you are able to construct complex multi-steps missions or quick simple events with your own narrative, unexpected plot twists, cheerful rewards and cruel penalties (or vice versa!). Your authorship and contacts will be shown right next to the content you've created.
If you don't feel like creating stuff, just install event packages made by other players and vary your walkthrough with cool new content. If you like it, vote for it and support the authors with your comments.
Price cut
In order to involve more people to try the new Workshop, we're making Space Rogue more accessible. From now on you can buy Space Rogue 50% cheaper than before on a permanent basis!
How does it work?
If you want to play some user created missions, launch the game, choose Workshop option. In the Packages section, you will see all available packs of content. Choose what pack you want to play, press Install and set the frequency of occurring. Then start a new game and enjoy!
If you want to create a new complex mission or an event, launch the game, choose Workshop, then My Workshop and start working on your piece of art. When it's ready, press 'Publish'. Keep in mind, before your content can be published, it must pass moderation. This way we can prevent catalog littering with mistakenly added events and inappropriate content. After the moderation, your pack will appear in the catalog available for all Space Rogue players.

This is Steam Workshop, right?
No, our system won't be synchronized with Steam Workshop. It's independent Space Rogue in-game tool.
Are there any rules for packages? What is allowed to publish?
The rules are common sense, basically. Do not swear more than necessary, do not use porn images, do not spam etc. Anyway, even if there is something wrong with your package, we will send you an e-mail. We're open for discussion and happy to help.
How do I get my package published?
After you make your story or pack of events, press Publish in My Packages screen. It will be sent directly to us for moderation. Usually, it takes no more than a day. Before you send your package to us, please, check the package yourself with Debug option.
Is it safe to install users' packages?
Users are not allowed to do anything that will "break" the game with this editor. So, yes, it's safe. However, like in any game on Steam, there might be some minor bugs. If you see anything, please, report it immediately. Thank you!
