[1] I really didn't knew that! Well, in that case, I don't think the "secret" is unused content, or anything like it. Should we keep the "Main Artery's secret" section then? It's mostly underlooked, as basically no one would think to open the map on that level. In my opinion, it's better to have too much info than too little. Besides, someone else might re-add this info in the future, thinking it's unused, without knowing that it was added to the article once and removed. So I suggest we keep it. {EspyoT} 10:34, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

I'm not particularly fond of calling secrets 'unused content' myself, especially if they were intentionally designed to only be viewed a certain way. Maybe make a special section entirely for things like the artery map, the life capsule item, chako's lipstick, etc? JTE 15:38, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

I don't want to call it unused content either, and a big part of me wants it deleted. Another part of me wants it to stay... I don't think joining it with the life capsule item and Chako's lipstick would work. One is a genuinely unused inventory item. Other is just a not-quite-hidden secret. The artery's map is also a secret, but more hidden. {EspyoT} 17:45, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
Well if we're keeping it, it has to go SOMEWHERE... And the life capsule is still used, it's just only visible in the dialog box when you pick one up. Same as how the main artery's secret message is only visible when you use the map. And Chako's lipstick has no use. You know what I mean? The item text for the life capsule is the only part that's really unused, just like the actual image of the artery tiles are unused. (The event script probably only exists at all because Pixel seems paranoid about things NOT existing... Hence all the crazy 0 tileset, 0 npc sheet, empty event scripts for every map object which is referenced in ANOTHER event, he even put in a completely silent two second loop track JUST for when music slot 0 is played to turn music off; Crazy!) JTE 18:12, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
I see. Well. I suppose we could add them together then. {EspyoT} 18:49, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
I think other pages have used but widely unknown things on them. I say keep it. --Fry's Dead Dog (I will wait for you) 22:26, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

More of Igor surviving?

In Jenka1, the script

<KEY<MSG<FAC0013Who are you...?<NOD
I've never seen you
around before.<NOD<END

can be found. I doubt Jenka says this. It must be Igor, specially considering his face for these lines was 13, and that's the face that appears in this script. Thoughts? {EspyoT} 16:02, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

This script happens when you talk to Jenka for the first time and don't have a puppy. It's a default fallback after a bunch of flag jumps you conveniently ignored. Face 13 is Jenka's face and this is Jenka's map to begin with, so yes, it is not Igor. They can't exist at the same time. JTE 11:26, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

You're very probably right. {EspyoT} 19:50, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

<KEY<MSGFive!<NOD<END

Oh, this is the real unused script there. It's for when you talk to the fifth puppy. Which never shows up, because when you bring the fifth puppy back, you're sent to Jenka2 instead. JTE 11:36, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Yes, I did notice that once you enter the door with the fifth puppy in your head, the game sends you to Jenka2 from there on. That line really is unused and should be added to the article. {EspyoT} 19:50, 25 April 2011 (EDT)


I'm pretty sure one of the demo finishers (specifically, the "might make this the last area" one) is attached to a NPC stuffed in a wall on the Outer Wall. --Xk-sig.png Xkeeper (talk) 12:36, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Yep. I'll add it to the article. {EspyoT} 19:50, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

HDification of unused graphics

Woop! Lilfut, please dump and upload them! I want to see an HD flying puppy!{EspyoT} 16:18, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Frothing-Mouthed Descriptions

How about you actually explain instead of being vague and making the page look like it was scrawled in a MY SELLOUT INDIE GAMES ARGH flipout worthy of GameFAQs? If you have something to say, actually say it instead of being all "I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW LOEL". Shit or get off the bowl! - TheKins 21:53, 8 November 2011 (EST)

we were actually working on an article in the private forum for this game for a while, but suffice to say that nicalis did a really shitty job of hiding the fact that they stole the mods in the wiiware port. --Xk-sig.png Xkeeper (talk) 22:00, 8 November 2011 (EST)
