Proto:Deltarune/Chapter 1 & 2 Demo (2021)/Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Proto:Deltarune/Chapter 1 & 2 Demo (2021).

Unused Music

alarm_titlescreen.ogg

Dogcheck returns! The old Dogcheck screen from Chapter 1 is still here, but an alternate one appears in place of that one while playing in chapter 2. This is the music that plays during the alternative one.

audio_menu.ogg

audio_menu.ogg	"Faint Courage" (AUDIO_DEFEAT.ogg)	"Faint Glow" (menu.ogg)

An unused song only included in the itch.io Mac 1.00 version, that uses "Faint Courage"'s leitmotif. According to the file name, this track seems to be used in the Chapter 2 menu screen at one point. The final game uses an entirely different song, "Faint Glow", as the menu theme (prior to completing Chapter 2, after which "Before the Story" plays).

The file name may be supposed to be fully in uppercase, like other audio files with an AUDIO_ prefix in Windows versions.

cyber_battle.ogg

Unused	Used

This track is an unfinished version of "Cyber Battle". cyber_battle_backing_solo, embedded in data.win, is used instead in the final game.

cybercity_old.ogg

Unused	Used

An early version of "WELCOME TO THE CITY". It seems to be the one Toby Fox posted on Twitter 2 years prior. Both the Twitter version and this version are in 160 BPM, while the used one (cybercity.ogg) is in 152 BPM.

noelle.ogg

noelle.ogg	"Girl Next Door" (noelle_school.ogg)

Seems to be an early version of "Girl Next Door", one of Noelle's themes.

spamton_house.ogg

spamton_house.ogg	"Digital Roots" (spamton_basement.ogg)

A faster version of "Digital Roots", without the ambient wind sound. The filename for this variation implies that it was originally intended for Spamton's shop; the released game instead uses "Dialtone" (spamton_neo_after.ogg).

Unused Sound Effects

Cyber Battle Backing

Scrapped backing stems for Cyber Battle. These stems, particularly the bongos, hardly line up with the song itself, significantly desyncing as the song goes. However, two of these, the arpeggio and the bongos, found another use as backing instruments in "When I Get Happy I Dance Like This", while the backing chord found another use in the main Cyber Battle theme.

The following is a mockup of these stems playing along with Cyber Battle:

Rhythm Battle

Cymbal.

Kick drum.

Snare.

Notes.

Probably for a scrapped rhythm battle.

Boxing Rounds (Bitcrushed)

Sounds for other rounds in the arcade boxing minigame; there's only one round in that version of the minigame.

Lancer Cough

Perhaps Lancer was supposed to audibly cough, instead of just through text.

Queen Noises

Random Queen noises.

Alternative dialogue sound for Queen. The fact that this clip sounds substantially different from Queen's typical dialogue sounds, combined with the suffix "alt" in the filename, seems to indicate that this would've been used in certain specialized situations such as running calculations.

Keyboard Puzzle Characters

Like with the graphics, there are a bunch of audio clips for characters that are never used in the keyboard puzzles in Cyber City. The fourth one is an exclamation mark, and the last one is of maru, or ゜. It is a character used as a dialectical mark in Japanese. However, marumaru, or 〇, is a common placeholder character used in Japanese games. So the maru clip is likely using that specific connotation, and was likely used when viewing placeholder puzzles using 〇 as a character.

Rouxls Kaard Dialogue Sounds(?)

Judging by the names, these could be scrapped Rouxls Kaard dialogue sounds. Having 3 sounds imply that Queen's voice system was used for his dialogue sounds. The video on the right is a recreation of how he would sound like in-game if these sounds were used.

Other

Context unknown. The word "leaf" can also refer to paper, so it might've played when you dodged the homework in one of Berdly's attacks.

Might be related to the cheering crowd in Berdly's flashback cutscene?

Context unknown. May be a shooting sound for the yellow soul.

(Source: Original TCRF research)

A strange deep swooping sound. From its filename, snd_dtrans_heavypassing, it appears this was a part of the dark world transition animation.

(Source: Original TCRF research)

Placeholder static noises, sampled from a longer sound originally created by GowlerMusic. The used noise produced by the TV in the ending is titled tv_noise.ogg.

Partially Unused Music

gameover_short.ogg ("Determination")

Chapter 2 uses "Determination" from Undertale's OST for a gag. It only plays for roughly 4 seconds, but the audio file is longer than that.
