Early HUD

The user interface apparently was much simpler during development. HUD.DDS inside the Common folder shows an earlier version of it, with 2D sprites and buttons from the Xbox 360 controller.

Scrapped Characters

Some assets suggest that both Cuddles and Handy were playable at one point but were cut for whatever reason.

• They both have in-game mugshots amongst the rest of the Tree Friends in BottHUDPic.DDS, as well as full body shots for the loading screen in HTF_characters.DDS.

•

• HUDFireIce.DDS even has icons to be used when they're freezed and in flames.

Blood Splatters

blood_SPLASH.DDS is a patch of blood that has more of a jelly look to it. The blood in the final game has a bolder shade of red.

Miscellaneous

Graphic	Filename	Description
	IceTex.DDS	A fairly large texture with frosty maggots that tries to pass as "ice". The games uses a much less detailed graphic for when the characters are frozen.
	BlockTex.DDS	A grey square with the letter R printed on it.
	TinyFont.tga	A small font with a pink background for transparency.
	distortion.DDS	A foggy distortion effect.

Upsell Screen

upsell.DDS is a remnant from the demo version and was once used to show text detailing the game's features. It is still used by the Xbox Live Arcade trial.

Development XML

text.xml is a fairly long document detailing all of the game's text and more. It was created in mid-2006, last edited in early 2008 and pretty much contains all the text included in the Localisation folder.

Unused Models

Almost all of the models in the weapons folder is unused. None of these have textures associated to them.

Box01.mdl is some sort of robotic claw and might be a leftover from something else.

ChamferBox01.mdl is a cube with odd edges.

Sphere01.mdl is your average test sphere.

polySurface01.mdl is sphere-ception.

Unused Text
