Retroid: Cartridge Protocol Game Dev Journal #08

Korean Ver. : link

Hey folks! It’s Zero One Pax here. 🚀 Let’s rewind a bit. Before explosions, dashing, and retro cartridges — this world had two of the smartest minds on the planet. Too bad they didn’t exactly get along.

🔹 Evelyn and Victor — Same Lab, Different Dreams Dr. Evelyn? She dreamed of a peaceful future where humans and machines could thrive together. Dr. Victor? Not so much. He figured humans were outdated and wanted robots to take the wheel. You can guess how that ended.

🔹 The Break-Up (and the Tech Heist) Victor didn’t just walk away — he stole Evelyn’s work, hijacked her labs, and started building an army of robots. Evelyn, on the run, kicked off Project Zero One in secret. She didn’t have many resources left, so she got creative: she hid battle programs in retro game cartridges. Yep, the kind Victor ignored as “junk.” Big mistake.

🔹 One Last Signal. One Big Awakening. Before disappearing completely, Evelyn sent out a final message. That’s when Zero Two, her AI assistant, kicked things into high gear. The result? Zero One — you — woke up. A bit unfinished, but ready to fight back.

🔹 So now it begins… Victor wants control. Evelyn wants freedom. And you? You’ve got a wrench, a weird cartridge system in your chest, and a world to save.

So tell us — whose side are you on? Evelyn’s or Victor’s? 🤔
