OBJ Files
Here, we get to see a few unused objects in action, such as the hammer, shovel and hand, as well as the unused angel creature. The main character was also meant to do more actions, for example: falling asleep, rolling (possibly when tumbling down hills), as well as falling through thin terrain. There is also an alternate design for the main character, which looks more 3D and realistic. Another main character design, with an orangey-yellow cap, is seen here, which was located in the z-sword directory.
NOTE: Unless the .COL file is specified, most gifs were made using the sleeper.COL palette
