Unused Graphics and Animations

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Proto:Friday Night Funkin'/Newgrounds Demo.

To do:

  • There are a lot more images to be added here and leftover hand dialogue in Week 6.
  • You can find all the new Week 7 textures from the ungrounded version of the game. Try to find some unused stuff.
  • Add the rest of the cutscene spritesheets.
  • Mobile leftovers.

Developer Jokes#

ScreencapTierImage.png#

assets/week1/screencapTierImage.png is a random screencap from an archived 4chan post.

   OP post, with title "Friday Night Funkin" and ID 540624394:
>actual friday night
>not getting freaky on a friday night
Let's try and fix that shall we? Post your favorite songs, mods, you name it and keep things chill alright? Cool.

    First post, ID 540625110:
Come back when week 5's added

    Second post, ID 540625953 and replying to previous post:
>>540625110
Well we don't know when that's happening do we? I'm just looking to make a neat thread on /v/ that isn't Twitter screencap tier.

Opensauceforever.png#

A screencap of a conversation on 4chan about ninjamuffin99's decision to keep the game open source.

No you are not.

>FNF is free so
Good. In 6 months or so he will see all the money he could've made if he wasn't stupid and will have a break down.
He will see that he pissed away tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars just to "hurr durr stick it to the maaan" like a dumb child and his next game WON'T be free not open source.
He's going to be doing some growing up.

zzzzzzzz.png#

assets/week1/zzzzzzzz.png is a screenshot of a YouTube video showcasing an OC known as "Joshua", which is really just a recolored image of Boyfriend's peace sign pose with no hat. Evidently, it was left in as a joke, judging by both its filename and the general nature of the image. The screenshot originates from this video (now removed).

lol.png#

assets/week1/lol.png is a screenshot of a chat message from one of Ninjamuffin99's streams, featuring a user saying "ADD ME IN THE GAME PLEASE". Obviously a tongue-in-cheek joke from the developer.

hall-of-fame-tweet.png#

assets/week1/hall-of-fame-tweet.png is a screenshot of a tweet from the day the Ludum Dare prototype was released. This exact tweet is what gave the developers the idea to have Girlfriend sit on a set of speakers, hence the filename.

week-12-leak.jpg#

Oui Oui Baguette. Well, it's a hot dog.

assets/week1/week-12-leak.jpg is a joke image of Boyfriend wearing a chef's hat and holding a hot dog. Notably, a spectrogram version of this image was used as the "reward" for a small ARG the developers did when the Erect Mode Sampler was released.

Week 54 Prototype#

assets/week1/week54prototype.png is an image of a 3D Boyfriend model. With the Kickstarter maxing out at 45 weeks in total, Week 54 is definitely not in the cards anytime soon. So, this is likely just a joke by the developers. This model is used for the Boyfriend figure listed in the Kickstarter, though.

Icons and Leftovers#

Placeholder icons#

icon-face.png is a generic set of icons not belonging to any character. These icons are used as a placeholder by the game if a character's icons can't be found, or if they don't have any.

Old Boyfriend icons#

The old Boyfriend icons from the Ludum Dare prototype are also present in the files. These icons can still be seen in-game by pressing 9.

grafix.png#

assets/images/grafix.png has earlier versions of the score and ranking graphics, along with early icons for Boyfriend and Daddy Dearest. This file is also present in the Ludum Dare prototype, but is also unused.

bfIcon.png#

A non-pixelated version of the BF icon seen in the Character Select menu. This can be found by searching through assets/images/charSelect/.

Ludum Dare prototype leftovers#

The old logo from the Ludum Dare prototype. Probably changed because the logo can be misread as "Frioay Nicht Fsnkin'".

Ludum Dare Game Over#

Restartfnfld47.png Losefnfld47.png

These RESTART? and LOSE... texts originate from the Ludum Dare prototype, where both were used in a now cut death screen.

Character Select#

Screen Mockups#

placement

charSelectTemp

Two mockups of the Character Select screen, with assets/images/charSelect/placement.png being heavily desaturated. Of note is how Boyfriend uses Daddy Dearest's icon (implying it hadn't been made at the time of the image's creation).

bfChill.png#

A rougher sketch of Boyfriend, presumably used for the Character Select screen at one point.

picoChill.png#

Ditto, but for Pico.

Unused Lock#

In the Main Menu Assets FLA and spritesheet, a lock graphic is present. In older versions of the game, you had to beat a week to play the one after it, but this was removed when Week 4 came out. This graphic might be reused for the full game. FNF-Locked_Screen.png

Backspace Graphic#

Backspace graphic, used for telling people how to... y'know, exit menus.

Speech Bubbles#

assets/images/speech_bubble_talking.png contains speech bubbles that are left unused in-game. ninja_muffin99 has stated he wants to provide more story to the game, and such has been the case in Week 6. Since that week has a unique art style, and since fully animated cutscenes with voice acting are set to be produced, these likely aren't going to be used anytime soon. You can see how the speech bubbles would function in the game here.

Unused Loading Screen Assets#

assets/images/loadingFunkers.png is an image of the characters from the loading screen. This goes unused due to the characters and the loading text being part of the same image instead of being separate.

assets/images/loadingLoader.png is an image of text reading "Loading..." and goes unused for the same reasons as assets/images/loadingFunkers.png. It is however different from the one used in game, with more lines connecting the letters and the background color being used for filling it in instead of white.

Week 2 CANNOT Select#

This animation plays when you can't select Week 2 in the Story Menu. This was found in the Campaign UI assets in the FLA and might get re-added in later updates.

Early Newgrounds Prompt Sprites#

A supposedly placeholder and/or early version of the Newgrounds login prompt screen. The sprite sheet seems to be more higher quality.

Trollface#

For some peculiar reason, there is a troll face image in the Gitaroo pause menu FLA.

Miss Judgement#

FNF_miss.png

A judgement that is supposed to be shown when missing notes, which is unfinished.

Story Mode#

Story Mode Difficulties#

FNF_Erect_Difficulty.png FNF_Nightmare_Difficulty.png

The Story Mode menu has graphics for the Erect and Nightmare difficulties, but they can't currently be selected there, leaving them unused.

Week 4#

Leftover Mommy Mearest Sprites#

When the Week 4 update was released, Mommy Mearest used this sprite sheet, named Mom Assets.png. Even when the Week 5 update brought along a new sprite sheet where her hair flutters in the wind, the old Mom sheet was left in the game. Note the missing face on her down pose animation.

Streetlamp#

There is an unused streetlamp sprite sheet that would have been used for a scrapped part of Week 4, where it would appear and cut up the henchmen in the background of the stage.

dumb.png#

dumb.png is an image of one of the Henchmen seen in Week 4, but with little to no shading and a slightly different design.

Week 7#

Cutscene Spritesheets#

gfDemonNoSkew

gfDemon

picoKill

picoShoot

assets/images/gfDemonNoSkew/spritemap1.png is an extended version of assets/images/gfDemon/spritemap1.png, with some sprites in the latter removed. assets/images/picoKill/spritemap1.png and assets/images/picoShoot/spritemap1.png are the same as assets/images/gfDemonNoSkew/spritemap1.png, with sprites being re-arranged or removed entirely. All of these are currently unused as the cutscenes for Week 7 are all in the MP4 video format, but this is likely to change in the future. assets/images/gfDemon/spritemap1.png has a clone, named assets/images/money.png.

WeekEnd 1#

Weekend 1 Background Concept#

The images for WeekEnd 1 contains a concept image of the background.

Early Weekend 1 Fighting Sprites#

FNF_Weekend_1_FightDarnell.png FNF_Weekend_1_FightPico.png

Darnell

Pico

There are 2 placeholder spritesheets of Pico and Darnell fighting in Blazin'.

Unused Animations#

Boyfriend#

assets/images/BOYFRIEND.xml contains some unused animations for Boyfriend attacking and dodging an enemy's attack. These are planned to be used in the Full-Ass Game.

Boyfriend Pre-Attack

Boyfriend Attack

Boyfriend Dodge

Boyfriend Hit

Boyfriend preparing his attack.

Boyfriend attacking using his microphone.

Boyfriend dodging an incoming attack.

Boyfriend being hit by an attack.

Boyfriend's Week 5 V-Sign#

In Week 5, where Boyfriend is dressed up in a Christmas outfit, he has an unused animation of him doing his V-sign from Week 1.

Girlfriend#

In assets/images/GF_assets.xml, Girlfriend also has her fair share of unused animations.

Girlfriend Dancing Beat Hair Blowing#

While technically used, this animation for Girlfriend's hair blowing left while bopping her head only ever plays the first few frames before being reset to the first.

Girlfriend Duck#

An animation of Girlfriend ducking for cover. This animation was supposed to be used in Week 4, where you'd have to duck down to dodge a streetlamp.

Girlfriend Duck (Hair Blowing)#

An animation of Girlfriend ducking for cover, but with her hair blowing as it does in Week 4.

Week 5 Variants#

In Week 5, Girlfriend gets dressed up in Christmas-themed clothing. She has some leftover animations from the normal version, such as the note animations.

Girlfriend Dancing Beat Landing#

The hair landing animation from Week 3 makes a return.

Girlfriend Fear#

The fear animation that is used when lightning strikes in Week 2 makes an appearance. The legs and arms in this aren't changed for Christmas.

GF Notes#

The note animations from the Tutorial can be found. The hands not being changed for Christmas is recurring for the note sprites.

The up note was technically used; however, it was only via a small bug which resulted in her, Boyfriend, and the opponent starting in their up position.
