Proto:Yume Nikki/Version 0.04/Unused Graphics

This is a sub-page of Proto:Yume Nikki/Version 0.04.

Unused Graphics

These graphics are exclusive to v0.04, or were first found in this version.

Bed

Found in the CharSet folder are the two bed sprites. In v0.04, the bed sprites that are used are only in ChipSet images. It's worth noting that this image matches up perfectly with the beds on the ChipSet for Madotsuki's room, 部屋チップ１.png.

Blocks

Some stone blocks can be found in Puddle World's ChipSet, but they are not used anywhere.

Dirt

Found in the ChipSet folder is a loose image of the tiles used for the dirt in the Barracks Settlement. It's most likely a leftover from before Kikiyama pasted the tiles into the respective ChipSet.

A similar image for The Wilderness tiles can be found in the Thumbs.db images with the same 64x32 dimensions under the name 砂浜64 32.png.

Elevator

The elevator graphics used for the Mall in v0.10 exist in v0.04, but are never utilized. They are colored differently from its v0.10 counterpart.

v0.04/v0.06	v0.09/v0.10

Forest World Ghost

The face of one of the ghosts found in Forest World, specifically the one with the pink mouth. The center of its mouth is darker, making it look like it has lips. This tile was removed by v0.06.

Unused	Used

Light

A light graphic broken up into three rays. The shape suggests that it could have been used to show the shine on windows.

Muddy ChipSet

An image named どろどろ.png (Muddy) can be found in the ChipSet folder. It is not assigned to any tileset in RPG Maker 2003, and was deleted by v0.06.

It contains some reddish terrain, several poles, and the blood splatter that's found in other maps. The two typical gates are also present, showing that the map that would have used this ChipSet would have had connections to other worlds.

A mock-up map of how this ChipSet could have been used has been provided.

If this ChipSet is added into RPG Maker 2003, the red terrain is revealed to be an animated water tile.

Submarine Fish

Both the used and unused variants of the Submarine Fish from v0.10 have sprites in v0.04, but neither of them are used. Both of them lack shadows in v0.04, having a "chopped-off" appearance.

v0.04/v0.06	v0.09/v0.10

TV

What appears to be an earlier version of the TV can be found on the same CharSet image as the TV that is used, along with an unfinished outline of the TV.

Outline	Early	Final

Vending Machine

Just an ordinary vending machine, except in the CharSet folder. The vending machine sprite that is used is on ChipSets instead, however, none of them have the teal background found in this image.

Will-o'-the-Wisp

The Will-o'-the-Wisp effect only has a mugshot in each of the other versions that have been found, but v0.04 finally allows us to see the sprites that would have been used with this effect. It appears that it would have been able to change colors.

Thumbs.db Images

Version 0.04 has a lot of hidden images within its Thumbs.db files, offering a look at in-development graphics and ideas Kikiyama had for the game. Sadly, the quality of these images are very poor due to the nature of compression in Thumbs.db files.

Some of the timestamps on these images are from before version 0.00 was released, with a few dating back all the way to early 2003.

Japanese Filename	Translated Filename	Folder Location	Date Modified	Notes
エフェクト使用.png	Effect Utilization	Battle	5/30/2004 (11:33:54 UTC)	The animation sheet for equipping effects, using the Fat and Flute effects' 1-key actions, obtaining Yen, and purchasing juice from the vending machines. The largest bottle of juice is missing from this sheet.
FC主人公１四色.png	FC Protagonist1 Four-Color	CharSet	8/17/2004 (13:01:42 UTC)	Some of Madotsuki's FC World sprites. The sprites are the same, but the background is blue instead of the used image's pink.
FC主人公２四色.png	FC Protagonist2 Four-Color	CharSet	8/17/2004 (12:21:54 UTC)	Some of Madotsuki's FC World sprites. The sprites are the same, but the background is blue instead of the used image's pink.
FC主人公３四色.png	FC Protagonist3 Four-Color	CharSet	8/17/2004 (12:10:00 UTC)	Some of Madotsuki's FC World sprites. The sprites are the same, but the background is green instead of the used image's pink.
isu.gif	Chair	CharSet	6/23/2004 (09:51:12 UTC)	Apparently a gif of Madotsuki riding the desk chair in the dream world. This image has the distinction of being the only gif within the Thumbs.db files, as well as the only one to exclusively use romaji in its filename.
MG主人公３雪薄.png	MG Protagonist3 Light Snow	CharSet	2/2/2004 (13:06:44 UTC)	Some of Madotsuki's sprites, with MG referring to "Main Game". "Light Snow" is likely referring to the brightened sprites of the Snow Woman effect. The image that's used in the game has a blue background instead of a black background.
ノーマル.png	Normal	CharSet	8/21/2004 (18:15:12 UTC)	A singular image of Madotsuki's FC World appearance. Seems to just be a copy of what's used in the Picture folder.
FC家２.png	FC House2	ChipSet	8/19/2004 (03:41:04 UTC)	A more saturated version of the panorama image used for FC House. It notably lacks stairs.
myチップセット1.png	myChipSet1	ChipSet	5/29/2004 (13:16:28 UTC)	An earlier version of Snow World's ChipSet. The pink gate and igloo are missing.
myチップセット１test.png	myChipSet1test	ChipSet	2/14/2003 (05:33:20 UTC)	Seems to be an earlier version of Dense Woods A's ChipSet. The trees look different. Both of the restrooms are present. A smaller purple gate can be seen next to the women's restroom, along with an unknown object above it. The road itself appears the same.
myチップセット2.png	myChipSet2	ChipSet	5/28/2004 (09:10:18 UTC)	Appears to be the same as myChipSet1test, except for an additional pink square in the lower right corner.
myチップセット3.png	myChipSet3	ChipSet	5/19/2004 (13:06:32 UTC)	An earlier version of Neon World's ChipSet. There is no pink gate. There are trees on the far right.
myチップセット4.png	myChipSet4	ChipSet	5/30/2004 (07:29:44 UTC)	Shield-Folk World's ChipSet...without the shield-folk. The pink gate is missing The tiles you walk on in this world have not been added. Some black squares appear to be on the left side.
myチップセット5.png	myChipSet5	ChipSet	5/19/2004 (13:07:02 UTC)	Puddle World's ChipSet. Appears to be pretty much the same, aside from missing the pink gate.
myチップセット6.png	myChipSet6	ChipSet	5/24/2004 (13:14:26 UTC)	Forest World's ChipSet. Appears to be the same aside from missing the pink gate.
new.png	new	ChipSet	7/4/2004 (12:40:50 UTC)	An earlier version of Windmill World's ChipSet. The cube buildings appear to be fully built, rather than in pieces. The pillow that Cube-guru sits on is missing. The unused tatami tiles are missing.

トイレ.png	Toilet	ChipSet	5/28/2004 (07:48:22 UTC)	The two restrooms. They don't appear to be any different, but this image was probably used to paste them into other ChipSets at one point. v0.04 has the restrooms on a CharSet instead, but in separate pieces.
マップあたり用セット.png	Set per Map	ChipSet	2/5/2004 (10:22:30 UTC)	Doesn't resemble any locations in the game. There appears to be a few objects on it.
入り口２.png	Gate2	ChipSet	6/15/2004 (12:34:10 UTC)	The pink gate. This was probably used at some point to paste it into other ChipSets.
浅海チップ.png	Shallow Sea Chip	ChipSet	3/1/2003 (21:02:42 UTC)	Likely an early version of the Pink Sea's ChipSet; an area that would not appear until much later in Yume Nikki's development.
砂浜64 32.png	Beach64 34	ChipSet	6/15/2004 (04:21:56 UTC)	The ground tiles used in the Wilderness. The numbers are referring to its dimensions, 64x32. This was probably used to paste it into the ChipSet for The Wilderness at some point.
小マップ５.png	Small Map5	ChipSet	6/15/2004 (12:30:34 UTC)	This ChipSet is used, but under a different name, "基本" (Basis). It is noted here to show that it had a different name before.
縮小.png	Reduction	ChipSet	7/4/2004 (14:15:04 UTC)	The panorama image used for the parallax background of Graffiti World. There doesn't appear to be anything different from the version that's used, but it was in the ChipSet folder for some reason.
道路.png	Road	ChipSet	5/28/2004 (09:14:06 UTC)	A very empty ChipSet with just the road that's used in the Dense Woods.
部屋チップ２.png	Room Chip2	ChipSet	4/17/2003 (12:44:04 UTC)	A second ChipSet for Madotsuki's room. Two white tables appear to be present, along with two cabinets. A different type of carpet (?) can also be seen at the top.
FC地下.png	FC Basement	Panorama	8/28/2004 (16:48:22 UTC)	A panorama is never used for the basement of the FC House.

FC地下5.png	FC Basement5	Panorama	9/5/2004 (12:31:10 UTC)	A panorama is never used for the basement of the FC House.
FC家.png	FC House	Panorama	9/5/2004 (13:17:14 UTC)	Almost identical to the image used in v0.04, but appears to have a second ladder directly south of the house.
エントランス.png	Entrance	Panorama	7/6/2004 (13:20:12 UTC)	E-Man's room with a lighter color tone. The chair he sits in is missing.
エントランス５.png	Entrance5	CharSet & Panorama	7/7/2004 (15:02:02 UTC)	Another version of E-Man's room, very similar to what's used in-game. There appears to be a different illustration on the wall. A chair is outside the normal boundaries of the map. There is an identical copy of this image in the CharSet folder with the same date modified.
ベランダ.png	Veranda	Panorama	2/13/2003 (13:30:10 UTC)	Madotsuki's balcony with the window reflection that went unused. None of the objects that normally appear on the balcony are present.
ベランダ2.png	Veranda2	Panorama	2/16/2003 (09:35:10 UTC)	Almost the same as above, but more zoomed out. If you take a very close look, you'll see that the broom that leans next to the vent has been added.
扉部屋背景.png	Door Room Background	Panorama	2/14/2004 (11:19:12 UTC)	A slightly brighter version of the Nexus background. v0.04 uses a brighter version of the background already, but this one is even more so.
海.png	Sea	Panorama	6/14/2004 (09:25:08 UTC)	A view of the sea with a sunset.
海２.png	Sea2	Panorama	6/14/2004 (09:26:50 UTC)	A view of the sea during the daytime.
海山.png	Seamount	Panorama	6/14/2004 (09:39:36 UTC)	Supposedly a seamount, if you can make it out.
海山暗.png	Dark Seamount	Panorama	6/14/2004 (09:44:52 UTC)	The name implies that it should be dark, but it appears very bright instead, like it was altered with an emboss effect.
無題25_色コピー２s.png	Untitled25_ColorCopy-2s	Panorama	5/10/2004 (11:15:42 UTC)	The panorama image for Shield-Folk World with a purple background instead of black, and the characters in the image spaced differently.
背景キャラ４元.png	Background Character4 Base	Panorama	5/10/2004 (11:21:50 UTC)	A minutely darker version of the panorama image for Shield-Folk World.
背景キャラ５.png	Background Character5	Panorama	2/12/2004 (10:09:04 UTC)	Of the panorama images with similar names, it skips from 背景キャラ４ to 背景キャラ７. This is one of the images that got skipped over. While intended for a world with a black background, it's unclear which one it would specifically belong to.
背景キャラ６.png	Background Character6	Panorama	6/2/2004 (06:29:52 UTC)	The other 背景キャラ image that is skipped over. It features murals from Mural World, so it was probably intended as its parallax background.
部屋ループ.png	Room Loop	Panorama	3/7/2004 (12:05:30 UTC)	Madotsuki's room repeated in a Fibonacci spiral. Since NASU isn't in v0.04, it's unclear whether this is the room from the real world or dream world.
髪の毛.png	Head of Hair	Panorama	7/28/2004 (08:33:50 UTC)	It looks like two women with their hair connected.
髪の毛２.png	Head of Hair2	Panorama	8/29/2004 (17:22:20 UTC)	Same as above, but slightly brighter.
50音.png	50Sounds	Picture	9/20/2004 (13:25:24 UTC)	A full Hiragana and Katakana syllabary set for the FC World menu. Since all of the FC World's text is stored in individual images in this version, this image is unnecessary. It's possible that this was used at one point for pasting the characters into the necessary images.
FCM２ALL改.png	FCM2ALL Revision	Picture	9/20/2004 (12:06:00 UTC)	A completed version of the FC World menu. v0.04 and versions following it choose to use separate images for building up the menu instead.
FG枠.png	FG Frame	Picture	9/7/2004 (04:44:30 UTC)	The frame that would later be used for the title screen of NASU. The final image used would add green into the frame, and text below it.
生首SCタイトル.png	Severed Head SC Title	Picture	9/7/2004 (14:21:56 UTC)	A title screen for a scrapped minigame. The title of the game within the image translates to Severed Head PK.
生首SCメイン.png	Severed Head SC Main	Picture	9/7/2004 (14:32:32 UTC)	The playfield for the scrapped minigame. It resembles a soccer field, and there is a head-like object present. The image seems to use a very early art style.
生首SC首セレクト.png	Severed Head SC Head Select	Picture	9/7/2004 (14:30:08 UTC)	Apparently the scrapped minigame would have had a player select screen. The text below probably says ナマクビ ("Severed Head" in Katakana).
電燈明.png	Bright Lamp	Picture	7/27/2004 (04:20:12 UTC)	A tiny image of a lamp turned on.
電燈暗.png	Dark Lamp	Picture	7/27/2004 (04:21:08 UTC)	A tiny image of a lamp turned off.
マイシステム2.png	MySystem2	System	1/30/2003 (08:58:34 UTC)	Looks like an alternate version of a menu scheme you can receive from the toriningen in the Mall.
マイシステム透明.png	MySytemTransparent	System	6/2/2004 (05:39:24 UTC)	A transparent menu scheme.

Shared with v0.10

These graphics are also still unused in v0.10, showing that Kikiyama was holding onto some assets from 2004 for possible future use.

Effects

Blindfold

The same sprites for the unused Blindfold effect are still here. The only differences are that the mugshot has a bluish background, and there are no wake-up sprites.

Chair-Riding Madotsuki

A mugshot for when Madotsuki is riding the desk chair exists, but can never be seen in-game. The scooting animation for sitting still in the chair is also unused in this version.

FC World Crick in the Neck

FC World sprites for when Madotsuki has this condition exist, like in v0.10, but are never used.

Greyscale Madotsuki

While some sprites of Greyscale Madotsuki are used in Mini Hell, the walking sprites and mugshot are never seen in-game, just like v0.10. Like all mugshots in v0.04, it has a bluish background instead of a black one.

Will-o'-the-Wisp Mugshot

The only remnant of the Will-o'-the-Wisp effect in later versions. Like all mugshots in v0.04, the background is blue instead of black.

CharSet Graphics

FC World Square

A 16x16 square found in an FC World CharSet. It was probably used to measure FC World sprites.

Kinoko-san

The same unused colorations of Kinoko-san are also found in v0.04.

Madotsuki's Room & Effect Objects

The same unused objects and tiles for Madotsuki's room are also present in v0.04. Some of them are alternate designs for objects that you collect effects from.
