Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• Plextor drive dumped the disc in scrambled mode. Descrambled version is included.
• Unreleased game
• The loading screen is a bar on the bottom-left of the screen made up of squares of many different colors. The screen glitches a bit, too.
• The top-left of the screen is overlaid with 4 lines that oscillate in length throughout
• There is no audio in the first part of the opening sequence
• The cut scene where music finally plays is still pretty rudimentary, with the angle of view wrongly positioned against the ground
• Title screen is improperly zoomed in
• While there is music in various points, no sound effects have been implemented yet.
• Options menu gives the option for Secret Codes.
• Debugging options are available by default
  • Controller rumble feature is even a feature
• The player can choose between a paperboy or papergirl
• The map can be selected
  • There is even a Training stage
• There needs to be a fair bit of optimization, as the game loads after nearly every menu selection
• In-game, the player must throw the morning paper at the required number of houses under a timer.
  • The player can make the bike jump with the O button
  • R2 freezes the game when held down
  • R1 throws a paper, which the player has a limited number of. A trajectory arrow indicates where the thrown paper will land
• Controls are rather floaty, with the player easily drifting in the air when jumping
• Score system based on the least number of newspapers thrown (misses), completion time, etc.
• Miscellaneous Notes:
  • Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
  • Game contains dongle protection: No.
  • Game contains debugging symbols: N/A
  • Dump was originally scrambled: Yes
