Unused Graphics#

The following files are found in the folder data/images.

FMlogo.dat is a logo for Fun Mine, a company that developed Top Gun and Blades of Thunder II and has ties to The Farm 51. They aren't credited anywhere in the game.

splash.dat is an early title screen.

splash_upper.dat and splash_lower.dat are more polished versions of the above screen, featuring three frames of (also-unused) lightning animation. The top screen calls the game Time Ace vs War Machines, while the bottom screen switches its copyright holder between 2015 and The Farm 51.

menu_main1.dat is an unused, less polished variant of the main menu background.

TimeAceDS_PreviewOnly.png TimeAceDS_Controls.png

previewonly.dat and controls.dat are leftovers from a preview demo of the game.

TimeAceDS_HSLogo.png TimeAceDS_HSHUD.png

hslogo.dat and HS_hud.dat are graphics from an unreleased game (or company?) called humanSOUL. These are the only traces of it in the data.

TimeAceDS_DebugMenu1.png TimeAceDS_DebugMenu2.png

debug_menu.dat and debug_menu2.dat are, unsurprisingly, backgrounds for a debug menu. There is an option to enable a debug menu in the file data/settings.ini, though doing so doesn't seem to do anything.
