RIG Riot Settles Into Post Launch Fixes Before Its Bigger Plans
A one-person mech roguelike that borrowed from Armored Core and Risk of Rain has shipped, and its roadmap now depends on whether a solo developer can add localization, Workshop support and co-op on top of a fix-first schedule.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Sage Boatman's 3D roguelike action game RIG Riot launched on PC via Steam on September 15, 2026. Players build the mech RIG from thousands of part types and run missions in two modes, RAID and ARENA. Several updates followed release with bug fixes and balance adjustments, and Boatman says bug fixes come first, with multilingual localization, Steam Workshop support and co-op planned.
Boatman built the game in public before release, posting development diaries on Steam and YouTube, running an early playtest on itch.io, and opening a public test build after Discord members asked to join. The finished game keeps that feedback loop: post-launch updates have already touched bug fixes and balance, and the stated policy is to clear bugs before improvements and new features.
The combat is built around lock-on tracking and four weapon mounts, two hands and two shoulders, each with its own cooldown and ammo count. Thrusters and boosts allow high-speed movement at an energy cost.
