Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• Contains the folder with the game already installed and another with the installer.
• It seems that initially the player is taken to a game of bots, perhaps to learn how to play the game, however, what would happen after finishing the game has not been tested as the game is unstable on Windows 10.
• At least on Windows 10 it is necessary to have "DirectPlay" installed. Furthermore, the game seems to run at very low fps, with the risk of the error "Unable to find decompressor 'vids:kmvc'". Compatibility mode doesn't seem to fix the issues.

To Do: Find some way to make the game playable and see what happens if the player finishes the tutorial.
