We’ll be closing sales for to the Backstory-in-Game package and Pirate King packages on November 7, 2017. The Name-in-game package will remain on sale. Anyone who already purchased any of these packages won’t be affected, only new sales will be closed.
I’m closing these sales because the game is maturing and it’s coming to the right time to make the content final. In addition, closing these will free up more time for us to work on the game itself.
Thanks everyone for all the great content submitted over the last few years! As any player can tell you, it’s really enriched the game.

How many Backstory-in-Game package and Pirate King packages has been sold? I am asking, because i am considering buing one, but i am not sure how many other will be there.

Hi Tynan, longtime supporter here, I never bought a name or backstory package, but might have to now 😛 I’ve played a lot of games over the past few years, and Rimworld’s one of the only few that keeps me coming back again and again. Keep up the good work, it’s developers like you who create amazing games like this. I look forwards to the release of Alpha 18 (I think that’ll make it 10-11 Alphas since I bought the game).

I want: slavery (sexual and working); water (drinking colonies, water for beer or tea, water supply, fire sprinklers); children (people may have children -> baby -> child -> kid -> adult). I can die.

Please, please, please add children to this game before you finalise. Please. (pregnancy/young/grown).

Can you give birth and children as DLC? I would buy.

So you are gonna abandon this game and not add kids after saying in one of your posts that you havent added kids YET? yet meaning you were planning to? Lame.

Consider developing an advanced (object) content management program, with auto-generated placeholder notes for individual interaction considerations (eg. pawn character combinations). Your development will go much faster and more smoothly, and you may find it possible to add more content without getting headaches and blindness! Good luck!

@ “Free Ideas” guy.
Given the fact that Tynan is building a game, and not a “Build your own game” framework, that is a terrible idea. Especially since he apparently already has a structure that is working and the game is considerably far into development. Not to mention, changing any of the pawn class would completely destroy all working community mods.
If you’re simply talking about an outside program that manipulates the pawn class, this would be useless. I believe this game is being developed with Unity3D? If this is the case, Unity has built in editors (Which can also be tweaked to work with what you need it to work with). Last point: Unity is not highly effective with recompiling code during runtime. I’ve never tried to mod this game, I’ve only used mods but, in my opinion, it’s a miracle Tynan was able to get 3rd party mods to work in the first place. Importing objects, items, and so on is as simple as de-serializing objects and adding them to an object pool, but allowing 3rd party code/DLL’s to run and recompile after runtime is a nightmare.
All this being said, He should stick with what he is doing because it is working and he has made a beautiful game. You cannot please everyone. As far as “Children” go… Learn some C# and make a mod instead of complaining it doesn’t exist. That is what the mod community is for. :).

Hello I just need it to be clear, Does this mean A18 would be the last content update ever? Like It’s sad there’s no more updates but there are incredible modders in this community, it’s just sad that it would be finally finalized
October 31st, 2017 - 5:20 pm
Ok. So everyone is saying that this is the ‘last update’ or something. Just a quick clarification. This is the last update to the in-game name pool. Not the content of the game. That will be worked upon for a long time. The names for the people in the game are being finalised.
So, a quick recap. The NAMES of the in-game PAWNS are being finalised. The in-game CONTENT is NOT going to be FINALISED.
Hope this clears things up.
