User:Zerker/Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Nintendo DS)

Wilfre strikes back. This time with a shocking conclusion.

Mayor
The Mayor has many animations that are leftover from Drawn to Life.

Wilfre


Wilfre's normal form has an animation showing him ripping out pages of the Book of Life. This is most likely a leftover from the first game, as no cutscene or flashback in The Next Chapter utilizes these frames.

Throwing Animations
Some characters, such as Farmer Brown and Chef Cookie, have throwing animations that match up to the ones used during the snowball fight minigame in the first game. Two of the Raposa children who appear in the Lavasteam also have throwing animations. This is likely because said Raposa are simply recoloured variants of the generic Rapogirl and Rapoboy that appeared in the first game.

Mike/Robosa Hybrid (?)


A bizarre character whose design consists of a Robosa's head on Mike's body. Only has panicking and cheering animations.

Moe
Has a cheering animation where he wears Mike's clothes.

Crazy Diggz
Crazy Diggz has panicking and cheering animations, and guess what? He's also wearing Mike's clothes. Perhaps Mike's animations were used as placeholders during development?

Key


Key has some frames which are very obviously unfinished. Guess who's wardrobe was raided.

Wilfre


Wilfre's normal form has a panicking animation and a cheering animation. Perhaps you were intended to save Wilfre from the shadow at some point?

Salem


There are two animations for Salem, one showing him panicking and the other showing him happy.

Pilot Bird


The pilot bird enemy from the first level of Watersong has two unused sprites. One of the sprites is uncoloured, and both look unfinished.

Baki
The jumping Baki has an animation of it transforming back into its first form.

Pier


A strange, crudely-drawn object with "Pier" written on it. Perhaps it was a placeholder graphic?

Development-related text
TEST!

TEXT GOES HERE Located with the Turtlerock dialogue.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY LONG CHAT BOX. THIS CHAT BOX IS SO LONG THAT EVENTUALLY IT MUST WRAP. WHEN IT WRAPS WE WILL RUN INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE GAME WILL FREEZE AND WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROGRESS..... CLOCKTOWER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS BUILD Found alongside the Lavasteam dialogue. The second piece of dialogue may refer to the clock tower from Drawn to Life.

Revisional Differences
A version 1.1 of The Next Chapter exists, which alters the ending montage. This revision is also the one used for the Drawn to Life: Collection. In the original version of The Next Chapter, it was revealed Mike had fallen into a coma following a car crash and that the Raposa world was a figment of his imagination, but in the altered ending, he falls out of a tree instead. The art style used in the altered ending is also less realistic. It is likely this ending was changed to make the game more child-friendly.
