[p]After Astro Protocol demo appeared in Steam Next Fest in October, we’ve been focused on expanding the game with significantly more content, especially end-game systems. Ahead of our planned Q1 2026 release, we will be running a playtest to make sure the game holds up at larger scales.[/p][p]Compared to the demo the playtest adds:[/p]
  • [p]All 6 playable factions (3 in demo)[/p]
  • [p]8 minor factions (3 in demo)[/p]
  • [p]Large and Largest map sizes (Small and Medium only in demo)[/p]
  • [p]6 additional ship types[/p]
  • [p]More techs to research[/p]
  • [p]More anomalies to explore[/p]
[p]The goal of the playtest is to validate longer, more epic games, test balance across factions and strategies and gather feedback on the content not available in the demo.[/p][p]If you want to help us improve the game and get access to the content not available in the demo you can sign up here:[/p][p]https://nullvectorstudios.com/playtest[/p][p]Slots are limited.
