Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Dead Dock Protocol is a co-op, systems driven game built around progression, builds, and replay-ability. That kind of game lives or dies by balance, feel, and long-term fun and those things can only truly be perfected with real players in the loop.

Early Access lets us build Dead Dock Protocol together with the community.

We want your feedback to help shape:

Weapon balance across all manufacturers and gun types

D0K chip builds and progression paths

Difficulty scaling for solo and 1–4 player co-op

Enemy density, chaos, and overall game flow

The Command Center, unlock systems, and long-term progression

These systems behave very differently once players start experimenting, optimizing, and breaking things in ways we can’t predict internally. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« We expect Dead Dock Protocol to remain in Early Access for about one year.

This time will be used to expand the game in meaningful ways and polish the experience based on player feedback.

Over the course of Early Access, we plan to:

Add new missions, enemies, and agents

Expand progression systems like D0K chips, unlockables, and the Command Center

Improve balance, performance, and co-op flow

Refine difficulty, pacing, and long-term replay-ability

Add new features and systems as the game evolves

We don’t want to rush Dead Dock Protocol out the door. It’s a systems-heavy, co-op focused game, and those benefit enormously from time, iteration, and real player feedback. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The full 1.0 release of Dead Dock Protocol is planned to be a more complete, more polished, and more content-rich version of the game.

During Early Access, you’ll be playing the core foundation of DDP. By the time we reach 1.0, the game is planned to include:

More missions, environments, and agents

More enemy types, encounters, and gameplay variations

A more fully realized progression system with D0K chips, unlockables, and upgrades

A more expanded and refined Command Center

Better balance across weapons, builds, and co-op play

Improved pacing, difficulty scaling, and overall game flow

More polish, performance improvements, and quality-of-life features

And more content to come after the release of 1.0 »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« We plan to offer Dead Dock Protocol at a lower price during Early Access as a way to thank early adopters for supporting the game while it’s still in development.

As development progresses and we add more content, features, and polish, the price will increase slightly when we reach the full 1.0 release. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« We’re building Dead Dock Protocol alongside our community, and Discord and Twitch are a huge part of that.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to:

Actively gather feedback on our Discord

Run Twitch dev streams showing new features, updates, and work-in-progress content

Talk openly about design decisions, balance changes, and upcoming features

Let players test new ideas and help shape the direction of the game

Use community feedback to prioritize fixes, improvements, and new content »
