Broken Age Act 1 : Secret / Easter Egg / Hidden ???

[orangpelupa]

Broken Age Act 1 now is released, its a fine game, albeit rather expensive http://store.steampowered.com/app/232790/

i think there's some hidden / secret / cut content from it.

For example there are trailers that telling the overlook story of shay and vella and works almost exactly the same as the retail game, except it goes to "Auto tell" instead of the player progressing the story.

The dialogue script is actually still available inside the game data. Its labeled as TRAILR001SBOY to 013, and TRAILR014GIRL to 26.

My name is Velouria...

TRAILR014GIRL
......People call me Vella. ......

TRAILR015GIRL..)...
Well, a lot of people call me "Traitor."......

from the data, it seems the assets also intact (the animation ANM file). Maybe someone with LUA understanding can make a loader to force-load the cut-content / hidden levels ?

MAFIA 2 have similar condition and modders can forcefully load the cut-content.

Hidden Dialogue


Shay
TRAILR001SBOY to TRAILR012SBOY

My name is Shay
And this is my life on the incubator vessel Bassinostra.
It's a lifeboat, an escape pod. It carried me to safety when my world was dying.
I can't really complain--The ship takes care of me, feeds me, entertains me.
I think in its own weird way it loves me
But I've discovered it's also lying to me.
Sheltering me from the conflicts raging throughout the galaxy.
The injustices out there that I could be fighting.
But this ship would never let me put myself in danger
So it's time for a mutiny
Time to put aside childish things
Time to grab the wheel of this ship, and steer it straight into the storm......

Vella
TRAILR013GIRL to TRAILR027GIRL

My name is Velouria.
People call me Vella.
Well, a lot of people call me "Traitor.".
Or worse
That's what I get for asking questions.
All I wanted to know is: what if we FOUGHT the monster that attacked our village every generation?
Why did we willingly offer sacrificial maidens for that beast to devour?
We were once a village of warriors.
We had pride and honor.
Now we only take pride in the ornateness of the pedestals upon which we serve up daughters to die.
All just to buy us a few peaceful years until it all begins again.
I know it's a great honor to be chosen.
I know that if I act on my instinct to fight I would be putting my whole village in danger.
So I'll ask a new question.
Instead of, "What if we fought the monster?" what I want to know is, "How do I kill it?"...

How can vella know Dead Eye God's name?
it was never mentioned even once in the files. Vella suddenly just know it. So its not a bug where the scene failed to appear.
