“Guard Protocol is already fully playable and content-complete enough to showcase the core gameplay loop. My aim during Early Access is to refine balance, gather community feedback, and expand the game’s systems to make every run more rewarding and diverse.

Right now, the game includes:

Around 60 global perks (I’m exploring the possibility of expanding this to 80–90)

About 70 in-game perks (may grow to over 100)

3 leg and body types (I’d like to add up to 5 each)

5 weapon types (potentially 1–2 more later)

1 shoulder weapon type (I plan to expand to as many as 5 total)

2 generator types (possibly 3–4 in the future)

2 backpack types (possibly 3 total)

1 complete level (I’m hoping to create 4–5 total)

During Early Access, I’ll use real player data and feedback to fine-tune balance, enemy scaling, and perk synergies, while continuing to explore ways to expand content and customization. My goal is to make every run feel unique, challenging, and worth pushing “just one more wave.””

“The Early Access version of Guard Protocol is fully playable and offers a complete gameplay loop that can take up to 20 hours to experience in depth.

It includes one fully playable level, a complete mech customization system, and a working global perk progression system. Players can build and upgrade their base using 7 different tower types, battle through 25 enemy types, and face off against 7 unique bosses as waves intensify over time.

All core gameplay systems: combat, progression, mech customization, base defense, and perk selection are fully functional and stable. The Early Access period will primarily focus on expanding content, improving balance, and refining the overall player experience.”

Bạn có kế hoạch tương tác với cộng đồng trong quá trình phát triển của mình như thế nào?

“Community feedback will play a major role in shaping Guard Protocol’s development. I’ll be actively listening to player suggestions and ideas through the game’s Discord server, especially when it comes to new mech parts, boss designs, and weapons.

Early Access will be a chance to gather real player input on balance, difficulty, and feature ideas, helping ensure every new addition feels meaningful and fun to play.”
