The design team of IANVS Publications (now Protoculture) created a new game system, Silhouette, to allow them to publish their own role-playing games. [1] Two years later, Project A-Ko: The Roleplaying Game (1995) by Jimmy Mah became the first Silhouette game of Dream Pod 9, which had been formed in 1994 to indicate a new beginning for the company with its new game system. [1] The game was published to be sold at Gen Con 26. [1] The Silhouette game system that premiered in Project A-Ko was designed to be simple to make games fast and easy to play. [1]
Dream Pod 9 became a fully independent company in 1995, and retained most of the dozen employees from IANVS under Pierre Oulette and they were able to keep Project A-Ko and the other role-playing games. [1] Rather than continue to supplement Project A-Ko, Dream Pod 9 published a second Silhouette game, Heavy Gear , in 1995. [1]
