Unused Sounds

This is a sub-page of The Rise of Captain Longbeard.

There's a gigantic number of unused sound files present in the game. The majority are for cutscenes, which indicates the cutscenes have undergone several revisions. These files include full voice acting for the parrot, who is referred to as Petey in the sound files themselves. Furthermore, a large portion of the cutscene sound files are even earlier placeholder text-to-speech voices, and the female pirate has a voice clip, indicating she originally spoke.

Additionally, these unused files include interesting information about a prior storyline. Captain Firebeard was originally called Captain Blackbeard, and instead of searching for the Medallion he was looking for an object called the Heart of Ehecatl.

Below are all the sounds, ranging from test sounds to the early opening cutscene sound files. The final audio for the opening cutscene differs in that all of it is baked into two long audio files called CUTSCENE1 and CUTSCENE2.
