LOCKDOWN Protocol

LOCKDOWN Protocol

Help
I just saw a Youtube video about this game. Seems very fun for people who have a busy life and want a very simple game to relieve their stress when played with their friends. But I have a ton of questions.

  1. Does it only support official servers or does it allow user-based servers?
  2. If you don't have a mic, then you would be useless in the game right?
  3. If a player is killed, does it ever spawn again in the same game or he'll be kicked from the server to find another game?
  4. Can a player immediately disconnect? If yes, won't it ruin the fun quickly for the rest of the players?
  5. The current player count is very low compared to other multiplayer games, with only 1k-2k active players. So how long do you normally wait to join a game?
  6. Who decides the player count per game?
  7. How many maps are there? Or are they totally randomly generated for each game?
  8. So the dissident's objective is just to kill all employees?
  9. If killing is just the only obvious objective to win the game for dissident, then won't players keep on dying quickly?
  10. How long is 1 game?
  11. Is there a feature to allow groups of people to form a clan for employees vs dissidents?
  12. Is there any character leveling?

To answer some of your questions:

1. There are no official servers in-game besides the discord server, every game server you enter is a player hosted lobby.
2. No, you wouldn't be useless as you could still do your tasks either as a dissident or an employee, but having a mic does enhance the experience.
3. I don't even know why a player would be kicked if they died, so no, if you die you just turn into a ghost to spectate the match.
4. Yes they can, but no one disconnects when they are alive (at least in my experience), only after they've died.
5. I don't have to wait at all, as most lobbies have a spot to open for a player to join and if not, you can host your own lobby and quickly have players joining. Social deduction games don't usually have more than 10k+ playerbases, so don't worry about the playercount for now.
6. The player count for the game is always 8 players max, there is no changing that for now.
7. There is one detailed map for now, as focusing on more maps in a bit of a waste considering there are more mechanics planned to be implemented which are easier to make than new maps.
8. That, but you can also sabotage tasks by hiding items that are vital to complete tasks to waste the employees time (the employees are on a time limit to complete all their tasks)
9. No, as just killing all willy nilly will quickly get you killed by employees (remember, in a usual match the employees have both the numbers and weapon advantage as more employees = higher chances of finding a weapon)
10. Depends on what the time limit the host puts it on, but a standard game has an 8 minute time limit and yes it's more than enough, though the time limit can be as much as 20 minutes.
11. No.
12. No.
