Joep and Jeroen created Exodus Protocol to explore how far AI can go in shaping the future of game development. Built and powered entirely by AI, it’s both a game and an experiment, a test of how intelligent systems can recreate the game development process itself. Players interact with the galaxy through natural conversation, commanding fleets and colonies in real time. But Exodus Protocol is not a one-off project, it’s the blueprint for a new kind of game studio, capable of creating game concepts with a fraction of the effort and cost of traditional productions. It marks the beginning of an AI-first era in game creation.
