What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“ProtonVR is my first game as solo developer, aiming to make this my full-time work.

I don’t want to rush or ship something half-baked.

This way players can already have fun with the game until release. Early Access gives me the time and feedback to make ProtonVR the best it can be, with your help. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Release is planned for after the first Steam Next fest of 2026, after March 2025

Early Access starts in November 2026

Early Access is it’s the foundation. I’ll use your feedback to refine mechanics, expand content, and ensure every feature meets the quality this game deserves. Together, we’ll build a polished, replayable, retro VR shooter worthy of its vision.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game will aim to have a respectful amount of content for players to spend hours obsessing over, and a smooth, polished gameplay experience so engaging it automatically begs to be replayed. Specifically regarding content it is guaranteed to have the following:
  • More Difficulty Settings
  • An arena mode
  • Complete set of 9 level styles
  • 30 Fully customizable, upgradeable and modifiable weapons
  • Mini Bosses on every 3rd level ending
  • Final Boss
  • Improved Player Armory

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's definetly playable.

Currently the main working mechanics of the game are established, content will continuously be added to the base game up until a while after release.
  • Replayable Procedurally Generated Levels
  • 10+ Fully customizable, upgradeable and modifiable weapons
  • A modest variety of enemies (flying, humanoid, robots...)

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price of the game will not change between Early Access and Release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

Involving the community is the heartbeat of Early Access. As a solo developer, I rely on the invaluable connection between you, the player, and myself. Your feedback isn’t just helpful: It’s essential.

Your input will directly shape the game’s weapons, enemies, levels, and balance. I’ll keep development transparent through public Trello boards, regular updates, and community polls.

Join the community discord and get involved, ask questions, give feedback and try out the development builds”

Alternative Paths

Over the course of your many runs new parts for each level will become unlocked and start spawning with different gear and new enemies, leading to new paths or even different levels.

The layout of the game is not linear , to reach the last level there are alterative paths to take.

Armory

In the player's office-space-station, there is an Armory for players to upgrade, customize and test their weapons or throw a bunch of grenades onto far away trash cans.
