Chipper & Sons Lumber Co.

Chipper & Sons Lumber Co. is a tycoon game which originally came out on mobile devices, and was later released on PC for free.

The game received negative reviews when it was first released, with the characters being likened to "creepy animatronics". This comparison eventually led to the creation of Five Nights at Freddy's, where the uncanny artstyle was used to Cawthon's advantage.

Unused Graphics#

An alternate render of the tiki birds looking up at Tyke, with the only difference being that the chief has his mask on.

Unused "Trial" and "Super" graphics for the title screen. The existence of these suggests that other versions of the game were meant to be released at one point.

A "Full Version Only!" graphic. This was likely meant to be used for the unreleased Trial version.

SeaBill's sprite at Stork's Crossing has his wing separate from the rest of his body. There are a few different sprites for it, but only one is used. Based on the appearance of the unused sprites, it seems like SeaBill was intended to wave at Tyke at one point.

Mobile Leftovers#

A "Plus" graphic for the title screen. The mobile version uses this for the paid "Plus" version, but no equivalent exists for the PC version. A Plus version was planned for PC at one point, as shown in the Steam Greenlight trailer, but it was never released.

Graphics for a screen exclusive to the Windows Phone version that allows the player to adjust the music.

An alternate version of the "READY" button. This one has an exclamation point, unlike the used version. The screen mentioned above uses this, but it's otherwise completely unused.

A large "GET COINS" button. This appears in Tinker's shop in mobile versions, and allows the player to access the coin shop.

Unused Frames#

"music"#

ChipperAndSons-MusicScreen.png ChipperAndSons-MusicScreen2.png

A screen that allows the player to adjust the volume of the music, or disable it entirely. For some odd reason, this is only used in the Windows Phone version, and goes unused in the other versions.

"buy B tokens"#

An additional shop that allows the player to buy Beaver Coins with real money. This is only used in the iOS and Android versions, and goes unused in the PC version.
