Title: Can some one explain to me What is the Prototype Pack?
Post by: MightyGooga on August 16, 2014, 10:18:41 PM
Hi,

As the title suggests, im wondering what is the prototype pack? What does it do? It is listed as a mod in the mods folder, but i dont seem to find a description anywhere.

The Prototype Pack is not a mod. It is a folder containing the history of "RimWorld" before alpha. I believe Tynan worked on it as a college project, and by the looks of it, he was undecided on what he wanted the game to be.

It's a bunch of games that Tynan worked on before Rimworld. You can see where Rimworld's combat came from in one of the games.

For me the best of those was that rogue like zombie apocalypse game - tactical game was the name I believe. Showed quite some bit of potential, but I guess there are quite enough zombie games already so it would have drowned among the competing games.

I must admit that I used the cheat mode to see what is at the end...
