New UI Mockup


We have had Winters who has far more experience with UX/UI work with our concept artist while ive been working to wrap up phase 1 from a structural/Gameplay standpoint. Here is the latest "Draft" let us know what you think of the UI. The Operator and all menus will be getting a pass next from a design standpoint once this UI is approved by myself.

  • Edited Gunsmith weapon buttons to always show XP meters, even if no XP is on the weapon right now

  • -Boosted Operator name character limit to 30 (from 12) (top left of gunsmith popup)

  • Several gunsmith/Operator Viewer fixes

  • Fixes to Gunsmith 'attachment selection' window's dropdown to initialize properly on clients (instead of each combobox being 'empty' when opening it as a client)

  • Updated Gunsmith attachment dropdowns to respect 0-based internal weapon level system (i.e. appear as level 1/3 instead of 0/2 when listing attachment level requirement)

  • Fixed Combat Mode getting "bugged" for Operators and forcing them to keep their gun up forever once your Operator saw an "enemy"

  • When jumping to your death in the hub it will teleport you back to the center of the map instead of killing you now. teleport Volume system added + replaces kill zone volume system in hub

  • Fixed landscables mode not showing its radial + cost of removables in RTS toggled with / for now till the UI pass

  • Added a no build margin around all horde objectives to stop AI from being "confused" when you built enough around the central structure to the point they had no point to "calc" to. Wil be looking to see if this resolves the remaining horde navigation issues for attacking parties this is more of a test

Known Issues


  • Opening the Pause Menu breaks the Quartermaster mouse

  • Infected can sometimes get "confused" if you build close enough to the spawners (Some fixes were applied to resolve this testing to see if its gone)

  • More fixes for Operator name when adjusting profiles (not done, profile switching has more issues in main menu for the time being)

[ 2025-07-03 03:30:23 CET ] [ Original post ]


The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.

You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.
  • Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
  • Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
  • Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
  • Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
  • Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
  • Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
  • Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
  • Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.


Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
