Unused MapsLots of secrets dwell within the Isle of Reveries.
Unused TextEarly text, unused items and scenarios - it's all here!Unused Equip Item#
The equip item at item ID 12 has the sprite of a smiling bomb. Using it uses 1 Magic and causes Lief to play the animation like he's sending out the Fairy, but nothing happens. Possibly could have been replaced by the Bag O' Bomb Bugs, which fulfills the same purpose.
Frog Amulet Trinket#
FROG AMULET
Turn into a
frog!Trinket ID 33 is an unused trinket called the Frog Amulet. The description states that it turns you into a frog, but equipping it doesn't do anything.
This trinket is bizarrely a reward for completing the the unused Akedo minigame. In the final game it would be completely useless, so it could've been something added in for fun.
While it has no icon in the menu, it does have a simple "get item" sprite, which can be seen upon obtaining it.
Unused "Get Item" Sprites#
Separate sprites exist for items that are shown above the player's head when obtaining them. Several among the sprites in the sprite atlas containing them go unused.
Lief's Cape#
"Get item" sprites for Lief's Cape. Unused text indicates it would have been obtained early on, granting the ability to jump. In the final game it is always available.
Bug Net#
An unused item that would have presumably been used to catch bugs. It was going to be a reward the player can choose from at the end of a minigame run by Mr. Akedo. It can be seen equipped in pre-release footage.
Magic Sack#
Unknown what its purpose would have been, but there are unused sprites resembling a puff of smoke when used, and the game data links those sprites to a player animation.
Bungalow#
An unused building called the Bungalow, which shows up in the same sprite atlas as the other constructible buildings for Verdant Valley. The Bungalow is referenced several times in the game code and there are still variables in the save file for it. Its purpose is unknown. Considering save files always have the bungalow count set to 4, it may have been replaced by the Shrine.
It can be seen in prerelease footage, where it costs 1 wood, 6 monster guts, 1 clay chunk and 4 monster bones.
