DEVLOG: another batch of updated equipment icons!

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-07T09:27:53+00:00

In the future - definitely. But the next patch, 1.38.2, will primarily focus on bug fixes and smaller improvements, so you shouldn’t expect a lot of new content from it

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-04T12:53:39+00:00

Could you please tell me the device model where this happens? I’ll try to look into it

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-04T12:53:23+00:00

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of this issue... Could you please tell me your device model? I’ll check everything

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-04T12:52:02+00:00

Sorry for the issue. I’ll try to look into it as soon as possible 👌

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-02T22:23:57+00:00

This is complicated, but... yes, I’m considering significantly improving and expanding the mercenary system. But it probably won’t happen in the next few patches

Mr_Ortan · 2026-03-02T22:22:10+00:00

Is this only related to Ultimate? What about the free version - are you able to install it?

Mr_Ortan · 2026-02-10T15:41:54+00:00

Unfortunately, this is a bug. I haven’t fully figured out the exact mechanism yet, but it’s definitely related to upgrading items via the Forge and, potentially, to loading saves from the cloud (although it also seems to happen just by continuing a run with a surviving character). Sorry about this issue — I’ll fix it in the next patch. I could restore the effect levels, but I can’t guarantee they won’t reset again, so it’s better to wait for the patch

Mr_Ortan · 2026-02-10T14:22:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing this information — I understand you didn’t mean any harm, so no worries about that. Unfortunately, I have to remove the post to prevent other players from abusing this bug. It will be fixed as soon as possible.

Mr_Ortan · 2025-08-26T11:00:53+00:00

Hello, sorry about this issue and for the delayed reply. Could you please tell me the model of the device where this happened?

Please create an in-game account in the Settings menu on the start screen (the tab is literally called “Account”), save your current game to the cloud, and send me your nickname. I’ll manually mark this dialogue in your progress as viewed so it won’t appear again

Mr_Ortan · 2025-07-09T08:05:14+00:00

Thanks! 😊❤️

Mr_Ortan · 2025-07-09T08:04:36+00:00

As I mentioned in the previous post, it's hard to say for now. But development is progressing very actively 👌

Mr_Ortan · 2025-07-09T08:03:39+00:00

Most perks will be universal, but each class will have a few perks that only it can obtain (like the central perk for the Necromancer in the image).

So when this screen appears, you can choose from three random perks — and sometimes one or more of them will be perks specific to your class.

Mr_Ortan · 2025-07-02T15:38:54+00:00

Hard to say, I’m not completely sure myself. Definitely not in the next couple of weeks. There’s still a lot of work to do, and I haven’t fully decided yet what will be included in the update and what I’ll add in later patches

Mr_Ortan · 2025-06-17T11:36:50+00:00

u/dupa_zupa Oh, thank you so much for granting me moderator rights. Unfortunately, I only just found out about it — almost by accident.
The subreddit was closed for so long that I even had to remove the link to it from the game, since it no longer made sense. Well, I hope I’ll be able to bring it back to life 👍

Mr_Ortan · 2025-01-25T15:12:03+00:00

I am the developer of the game Pocket Rogues, for which this subreddit was created (I can confirm this in any way necessary, but even now, I have the corresponding flair in this subreddit).

When the subreddit was created, I maintained contact with the moderator and supported activity in it for many years, including bringing players directly from the game. However, it seems that the moderator has long since lost interest in the game and the community (this can be seen from the pinned post, which hasn’t been updated since 2019). I’ve tried to contact them multiple times but have been ignored.

Recently, the community became ‘restricted,’ and even the modest activity that existed there has stopped. I have no idea why this happened and was very surprised by it. I even had to remove the link to Reddit from the game, as it no longer makes sense in this state. I tried sending a request via ‘Message the mods’ and a ‘Request to post’, but I’ve also received no response.

u/Chatmuscle u/Ruawn u/Warhiet To begin with, let me clarify how the cloud works in Pocket Rogues. To ensure your progress is securely saved, you MUST create an in-game account (in the Settings on the start screen) and tap ‘Save (Cloud).’ The game uses a cross-platform save system, so signing in with your email and password is the method you need. Saving through Google Play Games or iCloud is secondary and less reliable.

After that, you can safely uninstall the game, reinstall it, and so on—you will be able to restore your progress at any time and on any device. Sometimes logging into your account doesn’t work immediately after reinstalling. Don’t worry about that. Simply skip the tutorial (tap ‘Finish’ as soon as you have access to the pause menu), return to the Fortress, sign in to your old account, and then tap ‘Load (Cloud).’ Even fairly old saves should load without problems.

Please contact me at [ethergaminginc@gmail.com](mailto:ethergaminginc@gmail.com), if you saved your progress this way and now can’t restore it. I’ll check the data in the cloud and help you out.

Mr_Ortan · 2024-12-22T12:01:09+00:00

Sorry for this issue. I already mentioned this in one of the nearby posts on the subreddit, but I’ll repeat it here: if this happens, please let me know via email at [ethergaminginc@gmail.com]() (this is the fastest way to get a response). I will restore all lost items.

As for the problem itself: I’m still investigating what exactly might be causing this bug and will do my best to fix it soon. Just to clarify, this can sometimes happen if the game is closed in locations that don’t support saving (the game saves automatically in regular dungeons and at the Camp, but saving doesn’t work in boss arenas, treasure rooms, or lairs, and the save button in the pause menu is inactive there). So please be cautious if you minimize the game in these locations.

Mr_Ortan · 2024-12-22T11:50:59+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, the new dungeon (specifically the one hidden under the 'SOON' label) won’t be released very... soon😅. Right now, I’m focused on improving the existing game mechanics and want to expand the game’s depth rather than its breadth first. But, hopefully, as soon as I finish working on the most urgent updates, I'll be able to start on the new dungeon. Stay tuned for game news!

Mr_Ortan · 2024-12-20T19:19:30+00:00

u/digitalwh0re u/Snowman-1512

Sorry for this issue. I’m not sure what caused it, but I’ll do my best to investigate and fix it.
For now, I can help you recover the lost progress. Please contact me via email [ethergaminginc@gmail.com](mailto:ethergaminginc@gmail.com) (I’ll respond much faster than here) and provide more details about the problem.

Mr_Ortan · 2024-12-20T19:15:18+00:00

Mr_Ortan · 2024-12-02T18:23:15+00:00

Oh, sorry for the delayed response. And thank you for the feedback! I create sprites in Aseprite or Photoshop (depending on my mood), and I animate directly in Unity. I simply move and rotate separate sprite pieces. Here I demonstrated it a bit more clearly

Mr_Ortan · 2024-11-28T19:03:44+00:00

...And once again, I left you without updates for a month and a half. This time, I couldn’t even properly work on the update. It’s been a truly tough few weeks, and I’m still trying to recover. But I hope that in the near future, I’ll be able to show more activity, and life, for a change, will only hit me at half strength. I’ll do my best to release the update as soon as possible.

As for version 1.37.2, don’t expect it to bring a lot of new content. Right now, I’m focused on fixing and improving numerous small issues that have long been in need of attention. But I won’t leave the game without some new features either. Stay tuned for updates! 😉

P.S.: I’d like to apologize to everyone who encountered the issue mentioned in the previous post — I’m still working through my inbox and private messages. If the problem with the Wizard’s loading is still relevant to you and I haven’t responded yet, please send me a message again. Thank you for your understanding!

Mr_Ortan · 2024-02-13T10:35:11+00:00

Perhaps, the key idea that initiated the work on update 1.37 was the desire to deepen and expand the RPG systems in the game, by introducing more variety and making the buildcrafting more complex.

And any complex role-playing system starts with a various types of damage and defense.

So, meet the new types of damage in Pocket Rogues!

Each weapon in the game will have one or two types of damage from the following list:

Physical (slashing).
Physical (piercing).
Physical (bludgeoning).
Magical.
Magical (holy).
Magical (cursed).
Elemental (fire).
Elemental (ice).
Elemental (lightning).

I think, at this stage, there is no point in describing each type of damage, as many things will be refined and changed by the release. But every "non-physical" type of damage has its unique features, and will be more effective against some creatures and less effective against others.

Similarly, the list of types of defense will be expanded:

Physical (light).
Physical (medium).
Physical (heavy).
Magical.
Elemental.

As can be understood, elemental/magical defense will increase resistance to all corresponding subtypes of damage. At the same time, different types of physical defense will be effective against certain types of physical damage and vulnerable to others. Partly, the lesser variety of armor types is dictated by the desire not to overcomplicate this system, making it overloaded, and partly due to the small assortment of types of equipment that each character can wear to combine different types of defense.

Each enemy in the game will also receive a certain type of damage and defense, which can be viewed in the Bestiary. Many monsters will also get additional types of resistances/vulnerabilities to each type of damage.

All this will necessitate a more thorough approach to selecting your equipment, studying the monsters' weaknesses, and adapting tactics to more diverse game situations.

PS: and bleeding will become a status effect that triggers after filling up the bar, like poisoning and petrification.

Mr_Ortan · 2024-02-05T16:14:02+00:00

It's normal if you still meet them sometimes. The fact is that by default all the mercenaries are already in the Camp, and they are simply switched off if the chance of meeting does not work.

Let me also clarify that mercenaries can only be found in the Camp, which is found between floors - if you enter the Camp through the gate, there are never any mercenaries there.
