This page contains notes for the game Narbacular Drop.
Extracting Files#
The game's files are stored inside File.ore, which is in a custom format made specifically for this game. It can be extracted with VPKEdit. Once extracted, the game will load any of the archive's contents from the same locations relative the executable directly on disk, so there is little need to modify it.
Lost Prototypes#
Several prototype builds appear to have been published on the Nuclear Monkey Software website prior to the final release. They would have been found at the following locations:
- narbacular_drop_engine_proof.zip
- narbacular_drop_first_playable.zip
- narbacular_drop_pre_alpha.zip (possibly 2 different builds at this URL?)
- narbacular_drop_february_build.zip
- narbacular_drop_alpha.zip
- narbacular_drop.exe (hosted 4 different builds, including the current one)
Frustratingly, all of the zip files for the earlier builds have been overwritten with one containing a single text document telling you to download the latest version instead, while the later EXE versions were all found at the same URL and thus overwrote each other immediately. There are no known archived copies of these either.
If any of these builds ever turn up, prototype articles should be created for them.
