Untitled Goose Game

Unused Graphics#

Unused Control Diagrams#

Within the file sharedassets2.assets are a few images showing mock-ups of control diagrams for a keyboard and mouse, a Nintendo Switch controller, and an Xbox One controller. Two of these seem to be in-game screenshots.

Mock-up of Nintendo Switch control when Joy-Cons are attached. (controllerSwitch.png)

Mock-up of Keyboard and Mouse controls, notably missing the actual button images. (mousekeyboarddiagrammock.png)

Mock-up of Nintendo Switch controls when using a Pro Controller. Some buttons that aren't used by default have placeholder text. (reference.png)

Unused Control Diagram Buttons#

Similarly, within sharedassets1.assets there's a file called goosebuttons_v3 SDF Atlas which depicts an older version of the buttons used on the control diagram. These are saved as an image, whereas the ones that are used are stored in a font (called goosebuttons_v4). These graphics are drastically different from the used ones, showing joysticks being moved left and right, and an icon depicting an entire keyboard.

Unused Models#

The file sharedassets2.assets contains many unused models that were either replaced or scrapped entirely.

Groundskeeper's Keys#

There is an earlier revision of the groundskeeper's keys, which is fittingly named keyring. The final version of the model replaces the blue keyring with a second key, although both files are still called "keyring".

Phone Booth Door#

Similarly, there is an older version of the door to the phone booth in the High Street called phoneDoorProp. The name may suggest that it was only used as a placeholder.

Tidy Neighbor's Slippers#

There is also an early version of the Tidy Neighbor's Slippers called slipperR and slipperL (with the same name as the final ones). These can be seen in the GDC 2019 version of the game, and they go unused in the final game. I am unable to find any appearance outside of the Thumbnail of "Untitled Goose Game - Gameplay Demo | The MIX at GDC 2019". They can still be re-enabled in-game as the messy neighbor's slippers (see below).

Unused Crown#

dontuse_crown is (obviously) an unused version of the crown from the very end of the game. This version doesn't differ much from the used version, aside from the lack of shading and a slightly different color.

Bells#

There are two unused bell models in the game: one called bellPlaceholder and one called bellideal.

Placeholder	Earlier Version	Final Version

Bows#

There are also two unused bow models in the game, one being a placeholder (simply called ribbon) and one being almost identical to the one in the final game, but with thinner tails (both called bow).

Unused Door Models#

There are two unused door models which have round door knockers, called doorPulled and doorResting. They are used for the early castle.

Bike Placeholder#

The broken bike seen in the starting area of the game has an earlier placeholder version called bikePlaceholder.

Log Placeholder#

Also at the start of the game is a log that blocks your path, which has a placeholder model called logPlaceholder.

Church (Early castle)#

The mini castle in the model village has a placeholder model

To do:
Replace with a model render and provide a final comparison.

i can see why this was changed to a castle

It mostly works but is pretty broken

Unused Items#

To do:
Better explain these, also some of these seem to already be noted in the Unused Models section (and none of the images are categorized). Should probably be model renders as well.

Playdate/Rubix Cube#

An unused item for the "wimp" kid

Messy neighbors slippers#

Same ones as above

Messy neighbors plants#

Plants that unused

Messy neighbors watering can & clay pot#

RAMP OLD#

The old version of the ramp in the messy neighbors yard

Unused Text#

In StringTables/ there are language files for the game's text, containing various bits of unused text referring to unused missions and removed settings, among other things.

Demo Leftovers#

Leftover in the english text file (english.json) is the thank you message from the demo of the game, and the text used for the timer.
