Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol.

Today’s topic might sound simple at first — currency. But in the world of SHADE Protocol, even money has a story.

Because the currency of the game isn’t coins, credits, or scrap. It’s Elythium — the same sentient metal that powers Replicas and drives the technology of the entire world.

So this isn’t just something you spend. It’s something alive, something valuable, and something deeply tied to the world’s history.

Voice actor Josh Portillo returns to The Razzle Dazzle Show!

This time, we’re going beyond the characters and diving into the REAL side of remote voice acting. From the pros and cons of working from home, to staying motivated when things feel bleak, to how actors continue growing in an insanely competitive industry — Josh gets honest about the creative grind behind the mic.

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Razzle Dazzle Show without some chaos too. We also get into cursed line reads, horror voice acting, ridiculous recording moments, and plenty of pop culture tangents along the way.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it actually takes to keep pursuing creative work when things get tough, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. 

This DAU is all about Harmonies, SHADE Protocol’s ultimate abilities system. The team is toying with how to bring big cinematic combat moments to the forefront of gameplay — without making them feel too rare or disconnected from player control. In this minisode, we’ll explore the concept, the inspiration, and how the community weighed in on what makes a satisfying ultimate ability in a Metroidvania.

From horror projects to comedy chaos, anime dubbing to remote recording life, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, laughs, and plenty of nerdy discussion.

Welcome to another edition of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. 

Today’s episode is a little different. The game's internal playtesting is currently underway and Instead of breaking down a specific DAU, enemy, or mechanic, we wanted to talk directly with some of the current playtesters about what it’s actually been like getting hands-on with SHADE Protocol so far.

Obviously we’ll be avoiding major spoilers, but this should give everyone a fun little peek behind the curtain into the current state of the game, the combat, the atmosphere, and how things are shaping up during development.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol.

Today, we’re talking about a brand-new enemy type: the Xavior Rogues — fast, aggressive frontline assassins designed specifically to keep pace with Zura as her mobility and combat abilities continue to evolve.

These aren’t massive bosses. They aren’t gimmick enemies. And they definitely aren’t Snacklets.

The Rogues are meant to represent something different: enemies that make standard combat feel thrilling all on their own.

This week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re joined by the legendary creative duo Eric and Julia Lewald — the writers and producers behind X-Men: The Animated Series and consulting producers on X-Men ’97!

For an entire generation, the Lewalds helped redefine superhero storytelling through complex characters, emotional depth, and themes that still resonate decades later. But beyond the legacy of X-Men, we dive into their lives as storytellers, creative partners, and the experiences that shaped the people behind one of the most influential animated series ever made.

Join us as we talk about storytelling, creativity, partnership, legacy, and what it feels like to revisit a world that changed pop culture forever.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol.

Today’s episode focuses on a brand-new enemy type that looks like it could tear straight through a fortress wall: the Xavior Boltknight.

These massive breacher-class enemies are built around one terrifying idea: What if a walking siege weapon hunted you down with a giant screw the size of your body?

The Boltknight introduces a different kind of combat pressure than some of the faster enemies we’ve seen recently. While enemies like the Rogues are designed to stick to the player constantly, the Boltknight seems focused on raw force, area control, and devastating impact.
