What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Broke Protocol is a huge undertaking. In terms of scope, size, content - the final vision is something that is just massive in scale. And the best way to ensure cohesion in such a large game is to get feedback from the community as we make incremental progress.

Early Access provides the best opportunity for the community to have a hand in directing development. We will listen closely to player suggestions to give out users what they want. In this way, we can provide the best city life role-playing experience on the market.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2021 Edit: Broke Protocol is still a work-in-progress but is now fully playable with much of the planned features and extras already implemented. Modding, World Builder, Customizable Jobs, Garages, Weapon attachments, Apps, and more have been released. Currently working on Apartment raids and a better governance system.

Early Access will be exited after some more polish is put into the game and enough funds are secured for a marketing push around that time. Indie development is a business so marketing is a significant factor here.”

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

“We have a stable game foundation in our Early Access Release, but the full version will bring a level of polish and TONS of new features for users to have fun with:
  • Much larger map with desert, farmland, forest, and military base
  • Expanded city with enter-able casinos, sports arenas, club, bar, cinema, and clothing shops.
  • Government system with elected officials, vote system, custom city laws, and emergency responder controls
  • Random city events from riots, storms, fires, races, airdrops, etc.
  • Promotions within careers paths and gangs depending on performance - DONE
  • Different levels of AI response, from Street Cops, to SWAT teams, and Army soldiers - DONE
  • World editor for building custom cities - DONE

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game should be fully playable with some experimental features (like Offline mode). There's already a full city map with vehicles, aircraft, voice chat, jobs, weapons, items, apartments, dynamic weather, and more.

Early Access gives users a substantial discount before the full release, allows a sneak peak at incoming features, and enables community input for steering the future development. Feature upgrades are to be expected weekly throughout the Early Access period.”

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

“The price will be raised before the full release of the game as new features and content is added.”

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

“I'm making this game for the community. I have no investors, backers, or publishers - it's all for you. There is a roadmap on the official website, discussion forums, and Discord server for real-time feedback.

The userbase is the backbone of any role-playing game, and my goal is to server the players' interests in the best way possible. With your help, we can build an amazing city sandbox for the best role-playing on Steam.”

About This Game

Everything can be modded in this city sandbox with jobs, NPCs, apartments, garages, gangs, and more.


Broke Protocol is an open-world action game like GTA but with a strong focus on city roleplaying and custom content. You set your own goal and identity in fully scriptable community-run servers. Currently in Early Access.

Roleplay in limitless ways to gain money, power, and influence in dynamic city environments. Start with nothing and build your wealth, while managing your home, health, and relationships. Find amazing custom content, hand-made for each server. From exotic cars and weapons, to cool scripts and custom maps. Or start your own community with unique assets and scripting.

Steal cars, process drugs, trade with citizens, heal the injured, or enforce the law. Anything goes and the ways you can play are endless. Be warned, every player has a criminal record - and crimes like Grand Theft Auto, or Armed Assault will land your character in prison.

Climb to the top of the criminal underworld, or live your life as a paramedic, firefighter, driver, gangster, law enforcer and more. You write your own story in Broke Protocol.
