Hello agents, it's your creative director, Kosmik Raven, and we finally did it. We officially launched the DDP Holodock 1.0 demo on Steam. Now I get to tell you all about it. But first, I want to thank you for supporting us through the rough times. We have been hard at work on the changes you requested, and have also added more to the gameplay and mechanics. Our last demo was just a taste, and now you get a lot more to chew on and sink your teeth into. So let's start off with our new agents.

Welcome your DDP agents. They have different stats that go with the playstyle of your choice. Let's start with our brute.
Titan - The brute of the group with the Strength and Defense to mow down Zombots with his specialty weapon, the Shotgun.

Lt. Smash - The smasher of the group, with Defense and Luck on her side to hit those Zombots with her specialty weapon, the Machine Gun.

Pr0-T0 - The balancer of the group, with the Energy and Stamina to outperform the Zombots with their specialty weapon, the Pistol.

N3ro - The ninja of the group, with the Speed and Stamina to take out Zombots with ease and distance with their specialty weapon, the Sniper Rifle.

Agent Z - The expert of the group, with Luck, Stamina, and Speed to combat the Zombot outbreak with their specialty weapons, the Pistol and the Sniper Rifle.

Now that you know the agents, let's talk stats and what they do for you. Just like anything, there are pros and cons to every agent. Let's break it down.

Health Max = How much life you have to survive.

Energy = How much shield energy you have for your shield.

Stamina = How much stamina you have for running and melee attacks.

Defense = How much damage the agent takes once their shields are gone.

Strength = How hard your melee damage is & the distance you can knock back a zombot.

Speed = How fast the agent moves.

Luck = How much your crit chance/headshot chance is.

Specializations = Every agent has a specialty weapon, which, if used, will give you More Base Ammo and More Base Damage for that weapon.

We talked about Special Ammo in our last dev blog, so go check that out if you wanna see what that brings into play. So CLICK HERE[deaddockprotocol.com].

Now, let's talk about our other changes and upgrades we have made. We redid animations and smoothed out moving around and switching weapons. If you played our last demo, you will tell the difference we put into the player character. Also added automatic reloads to smooth out the gunplay, just in case you forget to reload. Added a respawn option in the pause menu. And if you wanna lay back, we got controller and Steam Deck control schemes. We also added a hint button just in case you get lost.

DDP is also darker now. We played with our lighting system and added a flashlight. Rooms are dark until cleared now. This will play a big part in multiplayer and future levels. We wanted to give DDP more ambiance and vibes. Enjoy the darkness and clear out the low-powered rooms so they can get power again. Are you ready, agents?

I promise we're almost done, agents, so you can go clear the sectors. Next, we have the boss of the Holodock meet Spidermech with multiple vicious attacks and servers that power its shields. Find the servers and turn them off in the rooms, and maybe you will survive. Learn the strategy to destroy Spidermech and proceed to get your score.

And finally, we added a scoreboard to track your scores. So send us your screenshots of your scores in our Discord and win a free DDP t-shirt. Thank you again, agents, for being patient with us, and hope you enjoy the Holodock 1.0 demo. Next, we have multiplayer and the showcasing of our other maps. Stay tuned and enjoy the Steam demo today!!!

Weaponized Elements – A Deep Dive into Our Special Ammo Arsenal
A Deep Dive into Our Special Ammo Arsenal

Hey everyone! 👋 Kosmik Raven here with a behind-the-scenes look at one of the flashiest, most destructive, and most strategic systems in our upcoming game: Special Ammo Types.

In a world overrun by chaos, your weapons need more than just bullets — they need personality. That's where our custom special ammo system comes in. Each type changes how you engage with the world and your enemies. Let's break it down:


☠️ Acid Ammo

Corrosive and cruel. Acid Ammo is all about melting through enemies and armor alike. It deals damage over time and weakens enemy defenses, making it perfect for boss fights or tough mini-bosses.

Use it when you want to break down tanks or soften up enemies before switching to something nastier.


💣 Explosive Ammo

Big boom energy. This one does exactly what it says — causes explosive splash damage with every shot. Great for crowd control or clearing out rooms fast.

Use it when you're surrounded or just want that satisfying ka-boom every time you pull the trigger.


❄️ Freezing Ammo

Time to chill. Freezing Ammo slows down enemy movement. Perfect for hit-and-run tactics or controlling the battlefield.

Use it to slow the pace or set up a deadly combo with your other weapons.


💢 Impact Ammo

Heavy, blunt force. Impact Ammo sends enemies flying, knocks them down, and breaks through shields. It’s the brawler of the ammo lineup.

Use it when you want to dominate space and keep the pressure on.


🎯 Piercing Ammo

Straight through. No mercy. Piercing Ammo ignores armor and obstacles, traveling through multiple enemies in a line.

Use it when you’re facing tight corridors, shielded foes, or enemy stacks.


🌌 Plasma Ammo

Unstable energy from another realm. Plasma Ammo arcs with chaotic power, dealing fire elemental damage.

Use it when you want to gamble big and light the screen up with cosmic chaos.


⚡ Shock Ammo

Zap your way to victory. Shock Ammo overloads the D0K chip and stuns your enemy. Great for disabling tech-heavy foes or groups of Zombots.

Use it when you're facing drones, zombots, or enemies that need a wake-up call.


💫 Stun Ammo

Control the fight. Stun Ammo temporarily disables enemies, interrupting attacks and giving you space.

Use it when you need time, space, or just want to stop that zombot in its tracks.


⚙️ How It All Works

You’ll be able to acquire special ammo randomly mid-combat with a full clip ready to use with any weapon. But this could change; we're looking into the best way to get your special ammo. Think strategically: freezing that entire horde of zombots, then finishing them off? Totally valid.

We want your gunplay to be more than just shoot-and-repeat — we want decisions, creativity, and chaos.

🚧 What’s Next

We’re currently playtesting balance, animations, and audio for each ammo type (yes, every type has its visual effect). And yes, they can all be used with every weapon, which means different firing rates for your special ammo. Imagine your shotgun spread with explosive rounds.



Stay cosmic,
