Doshin the Giant (GameCube)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Doshin the Giant is an interesting island sim game, a rerelease of an obscure 64DD game where the player controls a giant on an island. The game switches between Doshin being sweet and helpful to Jashin being evil and demonic.

To do: Explanations for all of the debug stuff. Much more stuff. Regional Differences.

Unused Graphics#

A picture of one of Giles Goddards kids, most likely.

In a Reddit AMA Goddard said that, during development of the game, he put a picture of his kid as the sun for an easter egg. But he was scolded for doing so and as such the easter egg was removed. The texture is never referenced anywhere in the final games code but still exists on the disk.

Unused Text#

To do: Check Japanese version

The European version contains unused English progressive scan messages.

Debug Modes#

Unless noted otherwise, all the codes shown below are for the PAL version and require an Action Replay device. Make sure to only enable one of these codes at a time.
