About this mod
Adds a new slugcat and campaign to play through with new regions, mechanics and enemies.
Requirements/Dependencies
  • Rain World (v1.9.15.3), and Rain World: Downpour
  • SlugBase
  • Fisobs
  • RegionKit
  • Iterator Kit
  • Lizard Customizer
Description
The world you live in is cold, and getting colder. As the Snowcat you’ve been able to survive until now, but even you can’t last forever. Food is dwindling, and the world is freezing over. You leave the safety of your warm but desolate shelter in search of something, anything else.
Features:
  • A new slugcat and campaign
  • Four puzzles to solve
  • New fire regurgitation ability
  • A new iterator
  • New type of lizard
Mod Installation
Either add the mod on Steam Workshop or get the latest release here[github.com]. If downloading from the releases, unzip the ColdSnap.zip file to your Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\mods folder.
Future Work
Eventually we would like to make the mod more in line with our original plan for the world we’ve created. Things like replacing the boss that is a custom lizard with a more unique enemy, something more inline with the overarching plot of the game. Part of this would be making the mod more self-contained, and eventually would require fewer dependencies.
We would also like to make more visual changes, like more custom animations for steam, melting ice, or a dying fireball. Adding more creatures is a more long term goal, along with having puzzle completion having a greater effect on the world, visibly freezing or melting areas as you progress.
Known Bugs and Issues
  • When loading in rooms there are various Futile image loading errors in the development console
  • When loading in a fireball there is a Futile atlas warning in logs
  • A second skinnier orb station may bless your world in puzzle room 3. We do not know why he appears or how to confidently get rid of him. He does as he pleases
  • Closing out of the game completely can cause the rarefication cells to despawn and softlock the player, so it's best to play the mod in one shot. It's currently a small 1-2 hour campaign for semi-experienced and experienced players
Disclaimer
This mod was created as a team project for a game modding class within The School of Interactive Games and Media (IGM)at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester NY. IGM provides an educational environment that supports and encourages creative and collaborative academic inquiry by both faculty and students. IGM’s programs, coursework, research, and development efforts provide students with the knowledge and skills to pursue meaningful and rewarding careers in media-centric, interactive software development, while simultaneously advancing the field and helping to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
This mod was made by a team of 5 for a game development modding class. Given the group's timeframe, the mod has not been thoroughly playtested and is currently released as an alpha build. Please report any issues or bugs found to the team, along with any information you can provide about any other mods you’re using, and any actions you took so we are able to replicate it.

Once you kill the final boss the mod is officially finished. We did not have the time to add a final cutscene or fanfare or dialogue to the iterator to say you've won, but we are hopeful to add this cut content in the future. If you've defeated the final boss, congratulations!

nope, the mod's glitched :(
(i had only this mod and undid all others and it still crashes after the iterator)
something4steam 5 Aug, 2024 @ 10:51am 
very glitchy, but maybe if i turn off a few mods it will stop freezing pretty good so far tho

would it be possible to have the subscriptions thing pop up with all the other subs you need to make the mod work? it would be really helpful
