Unused & Removed Features/DTL1

Characters

Male Rapo Elder Behind Sprite

Thanks to a technical glitch, Elder Males do not have a functioning "behind" animation and instead use the first static frame in the game. The full animation is found through hacking.

Developmental Wilfre Sprites

There are alternate Wilfre sprites located on Chern Fai's website.

There are some sprites of Wilfre with orange fur and red clothes instead of blue clothes.

Instead of his shadow being pure black, this version of him is a dark grey. In one set of Shadow sprites, Wilfre's eyes are similar to those of Crazy Barks, and he has a set of sharp teeth. In the second set, his face is identical to the final sprite. Because of the highlights of Wilfre's body being darker compared to the main color, it's easier to distinguish the form of his body from the shadow. It's also worth noting that while mostly the same, some of these highlights were removed in the final sprites.

Beta NavyJ Sprite

There are beta NavyJ sprites located on Chern Fai's website. Instead of having orange fur, this version of NavyJ has tan fur. In Drawn to Life: Two Realms, NavyJ's fur returns to this color.

Reporter Raposa

Sprites exist on Chern Fai's website for a female Raposa who has a camera and a reporter hat. It is currently unknown why she was cut. She could also be Fujikoda, a character mentioned in a Game Design Document for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).

Painter Raposa

Sprites exist on Chern Fai's website for a male Raposa who has a paintbrush and a painter hat. It is currently unknown why he was cut. He could also be Mike O'angelo, a character mentioned in a Game Design Document for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).

Fireman Raposa

Sprites exist on Chern Fai's website for a male Raposa who has a fireman's hat and a hose. It is currently unknown why he was cut. He could also be Fire Bill, a character mentioned in a Game Design Document for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).

Miner Raposa

Sprites exist on Chern Fai's website for a male Raposa who has a pickaxe and a hardhat. It is currently unknown why he was cut. He could also be El Chippo, a character mentioned in a Game Design Document for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).

Repair Guy

Repair Guy was a cut Raposa character who was intended to be a repairman for the village. He takes the nickname "Repair Guy" as neither Mari nor the Mayor remembered his actual name.

Before being cut, he used the same sprites that would later be used for Rocko in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. According to Joseph Tringali, he was "just another Raposa", and was removed due to the plot not developing to necessitate him as a character.

Droogles

Early in development, Raposa were originally called "Droogles" and had a more rectangular, dog-like, design. Like Raposa, Droogles had a variety of designs, some of which can be seen in early concept art of the game.

Enemies

Unused Enemies

On Chern Fai's website, a series of sprites can be seen listed among other unused enemy concepts. While the first sprite in this series (Right) is known to be a Droogle, the purpose of the other sprites is unknown as they were scrapped before use.

The remainder of the sprites seen in this series bear a strong resemblance to Baki used in the final game. It's possible these sprites were precursors to the Baki seen in the final game.

Alternate Timber Baki

There are alternate Timber Baki sprites located on Chern Fai's website. Instead of small leaves, these Baki wear a helmet-like plant atop their heads. There are static sprites for single, stacked, and floating/flying Baki.

Alternate Shadow Creatures

There are sprites of beta Shadow enemies located on Chern Fai's website. All four of them are slimmer than they are in the final release.

Shadow Bat

The Shadow Bat seems to have a small tail.

Shadow Crawler

Instead of only having eyes, Deadwood's shadow crawler has a smirk.

Shadow Walker

The Shadow Walker has a disconnected head, or possibly a white collar of some kind.

Shadow Ghoul

The Shadow Ghoul has a bigger eye than in the final build.

Unused Baki

There are sprites of unused Bakis located on Chern Fai's website. One of them has gold fur and a green and orange striped scarf. The other has fur that is similar to NavyJ's unused fur and has the same green and orange striped scarf.

Misc.

Early Title Screen Logo

There is an early version of The Drawn to Life logo found in the game's files. It was originally intended to be used on the game's title screen. While the final version has been clearly based on this version, there are still plenty of differences.

This version of the logo uses overall darker colors compared to the final version. Instead of the letters being a yellowish gold, this early version's letters have more of an orange hue. And the blue that surrounds this early logo is much darker in comparison to the final version.

In this version, there are two dots next to the lowercase e that aren't present in the final logo. This unused logo also has a dot in the middle of the letter a, which was also removed.

Another big change is that the early logo's "to" was placed underneath the rest of the logo and was contained in what appears to be a streak of red paint. However, in the final version, the words were moved farther away from each other, and the word "to" was placed in between them.

These changes were likely done to make the logo more simplistic and feel less cramped. Although the red paint streak present in the early logo may have inspired the red paint streak in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter's logo.

Early Title Screen Art

In the game's files, an image of several Raposa was found. It was originally intended for the upper title screen, but was eventually scrapped. In the final version, a picture of Jowee is used instead.

The correct palette for this image was not initially found until DigitalContinue sent the file onto discord, as well as two files that make up the initial title screen.

There is also early concept art that these Raposa seem to be based on. However, the coloring of the Raposa's clothing is different compared to the concept art. While the title screen Raposa wear different colors, all the Raposa in the concept art appear to wear the exact same brown outfit. A blown up version (x4) of the screenshot provided can be seen here .

Phonebooth

On November 13th, 2020, Joseph Tringali shared some concept art and cut content for Drawn to Life, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, and Drawn to Life: Two Realms. Among them was a phonebooth that, according to him, would have been used for "outfit changing."
