Scrapped Content

While Dark Place has plenty of ideas in it, there's bound to be a few ideas that didn't make it off of the cutting room floor. This is either due to a lack of motivation or that we simply couldn't include them in the mod cause we couldn't get permission. This page is dedicate to those ideas that didn't make the cut.

## Apsychos

Apsychos is a scrapped superboss that was planned to be added in by J.A.R.U. Its appearance was heavily based on the Dark Matter bosses from the *Kirby* franchise as well as the Dark Fountains seen throughout *Deltarune*.

The entrance to its arena was going to be barricaded off by the Wall Guardian, prompting the player to find a "Wall Guardian Pass" item in Vapor Land and give it to them, so Susie can break down the wall, allowing the Player to enter the arena.

Apsychos would've had a wide array of attacks that would use various SOUL modes, rather than just one SOUL mode like a regular superboss. A lot of its attacks would've also been inspired by the Soul bosses from the *Kirby* franchise as well as some of Photoshop Flowey's attacks from *Undertale*.

## LOSTCORE

LOSTCORE was going to be an area made by Simbel, and it would've been directly inspired by the area of the same name from *Deltatraveler*.

The overall appearance of the area would've also looked the same as *Deltatraveler*'s version, a grayscale version of the CORE from Undertale with lots of references to W.D. Gaster in it. Corrupted enemies based on pre-existing Deltarune enemies, such as Viro, would've been fightable in this area as well.

## BattleCards

AcousticJamm's original plan for Luthane was going to be a very simple one; you and Luthane would play a game of BattleCards in the Dev Diner, and Luthane would inevitably win, killing you after the fact. It would've been exactly the same game as featured in the postgame of *Deoxynn*.

However, when coding Luthane in, Jamm had many different ideas regarding him. He implemented character lore, including Luthane's daughter and wife, and at that point, Jamm decided that the BattleCards idea would feel very out of place, and so, decided not to port the BattleCards code into Dark Place.

## Tree Room

A Warp Bin room with a ton of trees from *Deltarune Chapter 1* in it was considered multiple times by J.A.R.U. The main inspiration came from the Spring 2023 UT/DR newsletter, where Toby Fox stated that he added a room with a bunch of trees in it to *Deltarune*'s code. This idea never went anywhere though, so it was scrapped.

## Evil Spamton

Evil Spamton was a shopkeeper that was planned to be added by Anonymously\_Present back in Dark Place's first couple months of existence. He essentially looked like Spamton but with an inverted color palette and was dressed in a similar fashion to Swatch.

He was never added in though due to unknown reasons, and it's unknown if he ever will be in the future.

## Liquid Kris

Liquid Kris was going to be a counterpart NPC to Kris-Chan, and was going to be added in by Anonymous\_Present. Much like Evil Spamton however, they were never added in due to unknown reasons.

## Last Breath Spamton

A fight against a "Last Breath" variation of Spamton NEO that was going to be added in by Kross, heavily inspired by the Sans fights from *Undertale: Last Breath*. The fight itself was planned to be accessible on Floor 2.

## Mad Mew Mew

Mad Mew Mew was planned to be added as a mini-boss a long time ago during the first months of Dark Place by Simbel. However, due to a lack of sprite for her battle and new content that Simbel is more focused on, Mad Mew Mew can be considered as good as scrapped.

Mad Mew Mew would have had a battle similar to her official one on the Switch, with the joycon soul recreated and surely adapted to work on PC. All taking place after the canon fight in pacifist. The game would also automatically choose one outfit for Mad Mew Mew out of her three available just like in Undertale.

## Unused Sprites

Below is a collection of sprites that were never used or didn't make it into the mod.

## Unused Sounds

### Shadow Salesman's Old Voice

Before being updated on September 5th, Shadow Salesman's voice blip sounded a lot different. The old voice blip was sampled from a recording of J.A.R.U. saying the words "I don't care." in a crappy New Yorker accent, with some effects applied over it using Audacity. The reason for it being replaced with the current one is because J.A.R.U. thought that the first version of the voice blip sounded annoying.
