Dynasty Street

A classic copyrighted music-ridden, somewhat obscure, immortalized in Chaos Faction, action-packed Flash game about stick figures featuring a lot of red stickmen. Like, a lot.

Unused Graphics#

Dojo Photograph#

Symbol 1229 is a photograph of a dojo, which was later traced to create the background used in The Dojo. Part of the floor from the original photograph still remains in the finished background.

Early Game Screenshots#

Symbols 1031, 1038, and 1045 feature early 800×600 screenshots of the game and creators operating system, with most of the desktop, windows, and taskbar cropped out. These images are featured in the game as previews to the various game modes available, but they are cropped to only feature the gameplay.

We can see that -EON- ran Windows XP and used Macromedia Flash MX to create the game.

The game sports an early version of the HUD, which is more transparent, has a different health, timer and adrenaline bar, is shaped differently, and is missing "Adrenaline" and "Pulse" texts, the textbox, and menu buttons.

In the second screenshot there's no graffiti on the wall compared to the final version.

In the third screenshot there are two kill counters instead of one, which were scrapped in the final product.

We can also barely see the titles of shortcuts to files titled "SL Intro", "Main menu", "Dojo", "Street Life", "Survival", and "Tournament", which indicates that the game used to be called "Street Life".

On the taskbar you can see Winamp, Macromedia Flash MX and two MSN Messenger windows open, as well as shortcuts to Internet Explorer, Winamp and Show Desktop.

Hidden Music Title Boxes#

Several unused music title boxes are scattered across the game, but they're hidden off screen and only visible on the left side if you resize the window.

Island stands for Love Island by Fatboy Slim, circles stands for Circles by Adam F, and Mama stands for Ya Mama by Fatboy Slim.

Black Oval with White Outline#

To the left of the main menu hides the titular oval. Why it's there is unknown.

Symbol 911

Unused Sounds#

An unused voiceline for the red stickmen, which like the other voicelines in the game, is taken from Gunman Chronicles.

Oddities#

  • If you stay in the game or main menu long enough, the music will inevitably stop.
  • The game doesn't save your name or your score.
  • The nunchuck preview animation in the weapons overview menu has the protagonist's left leg flashing, and the grenade's preview animation has the protagonist's right arm missing.
