Developer LuGus Studios has just added the new Campaign Editor in the Midnight Protocol update which comes after its nomination for the finalist in the prestigious Independent Game Festival. The nomination was for the “Excellence in Design Award, where it was the finalist, recognizing the game’s overall game design, level design, and balanced gaming experience.
It is an immense compliment and honour to be mentioned among other amazing indie games we’ve enjoyed this year! We highly recommend checking out (and playing) the other IGF nominations.
With the new Campaign Editor, players can now create their own adventures in Midnight Protocol. The Campaign Editor is still in beta, which means that the developers are actively looking for player feedback.
Midnight Protocol is a tactical narrative-driven RPG with unique keyboard-only controls. Hack into servers, beat security systems, and discover encrypted secrets while you try to find answers to why and how you got doxed.
Key Features:
> HANG YOUR [H]AT
Will you respect others’ privacy and bank accounts, or leave no stone unturned? Midnight Protocol allows you to play as the hacker you want to be. Help the police track down a rogue hacker, or blackmail a desperate husband trying to recover… dubious pictures. Gain black, grey, and white hat reputation to change the direction of the story based on your choices.
> I[M]MERSION OVERLOAD
Midnight Protocol’s design focuses on immersing you in a world of digital warfare without complicated hacking mechanics. Your keyboard is your weapon, type commands to eliminate or evade security programs, letting your keystrokes become part of the soundtrack.
> NICE [D]ECK
Cracking a digital safe or extracting classified data requires careful planning. Pay the troll toll, use digital jackhammers, cloaks, and daggers to combat cybersecurity. Buy new programs or hardware on the black market, and customize your deck to fit your playstyle.
> DI[S]TRACTIONS ABOUND
Take on dozens of sidequests filled with easter eggs and references, gather additional intel on your targets before you start a mission, and play some hacker chess to wind down. Midnight Protocol is jam-packed with optional missions, providing hours of additional content.
