Axiom Verge
Developer: Thomas Happ Games LLC Publisher: Thomas Happ Games LLC Platform: [[:Category:Windows, Wii U games|Windows, Wii U]] Released internationally: todo Released in US: todo Released in EU: todo This game has unused areas. This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused enemies. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused cinematics. This game has unused text. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden sound test. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences.

To do: Check if unused content differs between platforms. This page is a mixture of stuff found in the Wii U and PC versions. See if falling down a pit triggers unused reswpawn code. Staying in a liquid for a while triggers a meter that shows how long you can stay under, despite the fact that all the liquid in the game hurts you anyway. The developer said (somewhere) that this is a leftover from a scrapped Ocean area (one that is possibly mentioned in one of the Notes). There are debug strings in the code. Document the code they are from. Althought they might be used for the log files in the PC version. cheat codes. See if the wiki discovered anything first. In the credits as the fifth "person" in Special Thanks is the cheat code "Axio Jwmau568". The credits file has a comment about describing its purpose: " <!-- Moon jump passcode -->". As it suggests, it allows Trace to jump higher than usual. Supposedly there was a demo or early version leaked online, maybe to warez sites? This is just based off a single youtube comment, so it could be rubbish. Elsenova has data for getting damaged in the enemy data. Some of the enemy data is probably used for the final boss fight. DefaultSaveData.xml seems to be a demo/debugging leftover - starts you off with the basic items and the nitial cutscenes completed Soundtrack.xml lists the proper names for the music tracks, as seen on the physical soundtrack. Is this used anywhere?

Unused Menu Text

To do: Check which demo versions these were used in.

These messages aren't translated in the non-English files. The files are found in Content\Text\Messages\. They appear to be leftovers from demo versions.

Unused Dialogue Event / Early/Cut Plot Points in Developer Comments

To do: Try uncommenting them then triggering them

The unused cutscenes are commented out, which is presumably why they can't be played with the cutscene cheat code.

The unused hallucination cutscene uses the otherwise unused dialogue portraits: HallucinatoryHead2 and HallucinatoryHead3
