Streets of Rogue 2 is a procedurally generated open-world game about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from open-world and crafting/survival titles ranging from Skyrim to GTA to Valheim to Stardew Valley, with an emphasis on streamlined and fast-paced gameplay. It also adds the free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent elements of RPGs like Deus Ex to create a true sandbox experience.
The game is set in a huge and seamless randomly generated world filled with cities, forests, islands, caves, and the occasional cannibal outpost. You are free to explore and create your own story as you please, whether that means gaining fame and glory through your good deeds throughout the land, forming a small-but-loyal army of miscreants who stage a government takeover, or getting rich with a farming empire.
Streets of Rogue 2 is a game where anything can happen, and probably will!

Alpha Demo Patch 29: Improved Save System, Reworked City Generation, UI Overhaul

The latest version of the Streets of Rogue 2 alpha demo is here! My primary focuses since the previous version have been improvements to city generation, a greatly expanded save system, and solidifying the frontend UIs functionality.

Astute readers of the roadmap might remember that I had planned to add Cell Phone functionality this month. I got a bit sidetracked with the world generation improvements, but I had been planning to take care of these before Early Access release anyway. The Cell Phone will probably fit in better with the next update, on which the focus is intended to be design and balance changes with in-game UI updates sprinkled in. Unless I get sidetracked again!

As a reminder, Ill be keeping quiet about SOR2's release date until Im 100% certain about a specific date. In the meantime, you can track my current progress on the roadmap .

Patch Notes | v29b

Save System Overhaul
[list]
The game now stores your last 10 auto-saves.
The game can be saved manually from the title menu.
Saves can be deleted and copied from within the games UI.
Your most recent game can be resumed with a single button press by clicking Resume on the title screen.
Saved game menus load much more quickly if the player has a lot of files.
More information about saved worlds and characters is available through the menu system.

Frontend UI Overhaul - Many of the frontend menus were previously using the old Streets of Rogue 1 system. Everything has now been updated to SOR2s system, which will make it much easier for me to add new menus and menu items going forward. While there is still room for improvement on the visual front, functionality-wise these are getting to be very solid.

New "chunks" - Hundreds of new chunks have been added to the pool. Anyone who messed around with SOR1s level editor will know that chunks are the building blocks of the world, and can contain buildings, roads and other features of the world.

New chunk sizes - Four new sizes of these have been added to help flesh out the world, bringing the total to 12. For comparison, SOR1 had 3 sizes.

Denser Cities - One of the common complaints about previous versions was that cities tended to have too much open space. This has largely been solved through the use of new types of chunks meant to fill out these spaces without creating an overload of insignificant buildings. City generation will continue to receive improvements throughout development.

World Generation Versioning - Previously, any updated to the world generation would cause problems for existing saved games. Now, the game will identify which version of world generation your saved game was using and revert to that version when loading the saved game. In addition, you can choose which world gen version you want to use when starting a new game.

Wreckage sprites - 1,000+ new wreckage sprites have been added, meaning nearly every object in the world should have its own wreckage sprites.

A new music track has been added, in addition to new action versions of several existing music tracks, which will play during higher intensity moments.

Bug Fixes

World Generation Bug Fixes - A number of world gen issues from previous versions have been cleaned up.
Player cannot command NPC employees to stand in deep water
Fixes for various issues relating to drowned NPCs
Visual fixes for city edges when other notable buildings were close by
Status text improvements to avoid text/visual clutter
Bunch of fixes relating to claiming land
Bunch of small improvements and optimizations to map displays
Fix for magnetized items being non-interactable if the player did not have room for them in their inventory
Items will not initially magnetize toward player if they have no space in their inventory
Fix for incorrect sound effect often playing for magnetized items
Fix for player-built objects sometimes appearing far too bright
Camera no longer zooms in abruptly when driving through objects
Lots more minor bug fixes that I didnt bother to track properly!
