...Beyond Protocol

Beyond Protocol is an epic MMO Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game set on thousands of unique worlds in hundreds of star systems with each planet giving specific advantages and disadvantages to those who call it home.

  • First ever RTS that provides fully customizable units. You have the ability to design each component of every unit and facility giving you the ultimate power and flexibility to create your own strategy.
  • Lead your forces in planetary and space combat simultaneously and in real-time against thousands of other players.
  • Form alliances, join guilds and take part in the most dynamic and intricate political arena available in gaming. Employ your political skills to change the course and even the laws of the game through the galactic senate.
  • Build a colony on your home world – allying with or destroying other players also claiming that world as home, launch endeavors to build space stations, explore your solar system, exploit and colonize other planets and other star systems.
  • Organize your forces and colonies so that control can be maintained even while offline through portable electronic devices and email.
  • Everything you do remains when you log off and your empire continues to build, grow and battle even while you're offline in this truly persistent universe.
  • Intense 3D graphics with player customizable features such as engine glow, beam color, clarity, and shield bloom provide cinematic video effects and scenery. With 3D planet terrains, planning for defensive and offensive positioning are required as you discover the terrain and how it can benefit your endeavors.

You choose your depth of play! Through cooperative play, you and your friends can control a single empire and through aliasing, your friends can play your empire from their own account allowing for multiple players to control the actions of the empire simultaneously. Truly cooperative play in an MMO setting.

You choose your destiny! Are you to be a conquering emperor? A manipulative trade mogul seeking the highest prices for your wares? A diplomatic leader forming powerful alliances and influencing others to aid you in your goals? A treacherous leader of espionage seeking out and leveraging the secrets of other empires? The opportunities and options are limitless.

The game has now been released  by Independant Developers Dark Sky Entertainment. Gamers can join via the official site and then download a client (700mb).

To experienced RTS gamers, a lot of the interface and game mechanics will be second nature. To newer players, the game will become easy to play through tutorials and a streamlined user interface. However, for all players, there is significant challenge involved in playing the game as Beyond Protocol is one of the most intense and complex games ever made. Easy to learn, difficult to master.

Beyond Protocol provides an unlimited number of options and opportunities to the player. For example, a player can establish a trading empire where the goal is to sell technologies and minerals on the market. A player can be a diplomatic player forming alliances and guilds to gain control and power. A player can devote themselves to technology and science in an attempt to be the most advanced race in the game. The player can form a master spy network and gather important intel on other players and then sell that intel on the market or hire their services to other players.

There are many ways to interact with other players. There are Global chat channels as well as the ability to create your own channels. There is a robust in-game email system. There are also Guilds/Alliance groups which unite multiple players in a common group. There is also the Galactic Senate which embodies the entire populace of players.
