Due to poor performance that couldn't be resolved through optimizations, Dabrowski migrated the game to the Unity engine in August 2014. Streets of Rogue began development in early 2014 as an early prototype created in Construct 2. In late 2013, Dabrowski played an early alpha of Wasteland 2 and became disillusioned with the complexity of its RPG mechanics the initial concept behind Streets of Rogue was to recreate the 'city-based, mission-based, freeform, open-ended gameplay' seen in games like Grand Theft Auto 2 and Fallout, but without unneeded complexity. Lead designer Matt Dabrowski credited the games Fallout, Grand Theft Auto 2, Deus Ex, Messiah, The Binding of Isaac, and Spelunky as being major inspirations for Streets of Rogue. There are 6 main stages in Streets of Rogue, formed, with the exception of the last, by 3 levels each: Slums, Industrial, Park, Downtown, Uptown and Mayor Village. Certain characters will allow the players to trade in Chicken Nuggets earned or provide other services as well. It is populated by Resistance Leaders and other playable characters. The Home Base is the central base of operations of the Resistance, an organisation created to fight against the tyranny of the Mayor of the city. The action is seen from a top-down view, and every level has a different visual theme.

After every death, new gadgets and abilities can be bought for the next session with chicken nuggets earned up to that point. In order to progress, the players will need to accomplish specific mission goals through the use of special character traits and items. Streets of Rogue is set in a procedurally generated city consisting of several floors. It was initially launched in early access during 2017, and was fully released on July 12, 2019. Streets of Rogue is a roguelite video game developed by Matt Dabrowski and published by tinyBuild for Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
