Devlog 0.0.1 First Internal Build: Firing Range Protocol

WHAT THIS BUILD IS:

This is the first internal testing build of REDACTED: Bureau Protocol. The goal here is mechanical integrity I am testing the bones of the game: movement, aiming, gunplay, round progression, and pickups.

There are no leveling, no meta systems, and no multiplayer this is a raw slice of gameplay meant to prove the loop feels fun and satisfying to survive.

FOCUS FOR THIS BUILD:

• Combat feel: Are the weapons satisfying? Are headshots responsive?

• Player feedback: Do you feel rewarded for surviving longer?

• Perk clarity: Do power-ups make a meaningful difference without being overpowered?

• Performance test: Targeting 60 FPS in a variety of combat states
  
  

NEXT STEPS:

In the next few updates, I’ll be focusing on:

• Adding a second map: “Containment Bay”, with a more atmospheric and horror-driven layout

• Implementing player XP and a basic level-up system

• VEIL narrative documents to find during matches

• More perks and environmental hazards

• Start of alternate reality game integration (ARG layers in documents, videos, etc.)
