Executive summary of the case study.
2 min read
Omega Protocol is a mobile incremental strategy game with a cosmic-horror setting. Players guide an AI through the remains of the universe and automate its production.
Simulate a cosmic factory that keeps moving
Omega Protocol is an incremental strategy game with a cosmic-horror setting. Players control an AI that must generate resources, explore the remains of the universe, and restart the cosmic cycle.
Connect the game systems
The experience combines production, research, exploration, combat, skills, and automation. The story frames these mechanics as protocols for a surviving AI.
Make the simulation reliable
The commit history records a move from resource controllers to a continuous simulation engine. Tests cover progression. Offline catch-up uses limits to prevent production jumps.
Ship and monetise on mobile
The game uses React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and Zustand, with local saves and Playwright tests. The history also records rewarded ads in production and combat loops. I make no revenue claim.
