Midnight Protocol – End of March Progress Update

Development for Midnight Protocol started late in March, but solid progress has already been made. Here’s a breakdown of what’s done and what’s next


🔧 Core Systems & Features

✅ GameJolt Login System – Players can sign in with their GameJolt accounts. This will be used for certain in-game features.
✅ Main Menu Completed – The main menu is fully functional and sets the tone for the game.
✅ Save System Implemented – Stores the night progression using encoded JSON files (details on this will be revealed later).

🎭 Story & Atmosphere

✅ Setting Established – The game takes place in BotWorks Repair Facility, a robotics repair shop with a dark past.
✅ Phone Calls Scripted – A mysterious antagonist provides unsettling messages each night.
✅ Audio Logs Scripted – The logs, which expand on the game’s lore, are written.
✅ Lore Development – Story elements are being expanded, including the chilling fate of the last technician.

🔜 Next Steps

➡ Building the Actual Gameplay – Now that the groundwork is done, it’s time to bring the gameplay to life.
➡ Implementing the Audio Logs – Making sure they trigger properly at the end of each night.
➡ AI – Implementing the robots' movements and behavior.
➡ Music & Sound Design – Adding atmosphere and sound effects for immersion.

While progress is still in the early stages, Midnight Protocol is shaping up to be a truly eerie experience. April will focus on bringing the game itself to life. Stay tuned!
