Mission Balancing

This update brings an important change: most missions no longer have a static layout but support multiple variations. The port scanner has also received an upgrade so you can now see if a network has encryption nodes, financial nodes, or bridge nodes before you commit to the mission. These changes are a result of a perceived 'cheat' in the game: rollback. Rollback allows you to replay a mission instead of having to exit the game during a mission and reloading your save file. This means you could scope out a network and change your deck loadout, or even play the mission for a while to learn the ICE layout. This patch is a step towards making the rollback less game-breaking and more towards the convenience it is intended to be. This change does not affect all missions (some story missions rely on the layout of the network to be the same). The following missions have been affected by this change:

Hack into servers, beat security and steal encrypted data in a world where your identity is just another network address. An engaging story, agonizing dilemmas, and an easily accessible hacking system turn every player into a network hacker in Midnight Protocol.

Midnight Protocol is a tactical narrative-driven RPG set in a near future filled with labor automation, big data, controversial AI applications, legal gray zones, and the nebulous nature of online identity. You assume the mantle of a prominent hacktivist who has been targeted for blackmail by a shadowy branch of government.

The player interacts with their virtual environment through text commands, hacking into countless challenging networks. Character development and roleplay choices made during and in between missions affect the storyline and outcome of the game.
