some minor corrections relating to the concept only levels segment: -crashed ufo is in fact not related to deep dish nine at all, and actually was the original idea for space pinball. it is confounding to me that the wiki doesn't mention this fact, because you can easily find this factoid by watching the thing of the week videos. -the kitchen level being "readded to don't make a sound" is complete nonsense and i have no idea what the person who wrote that was on. we actually know what happened to the kitchen level, in fact: it was fused with golf! hence why that level is a burger restaurant in addition to being a minigolf course. -i'm like 93% sure the vigilante-exclusive doom level is a hoax, because: it has no source, it's not mentioned in any of the many complete listings of levels from various points in development, there's basically no info on it (even compared to most other concept only levels), and also just the plain old fact that it would be a really weird choice to have the special level for a cowboy character be doom inspired.
Thank you for clarifying several of these, I couldn’t find any sources on like, anything for them 😭. A vast majority of the information I could find was on the wiki, so if the info there is borderline misinfo, that’s a problem
Since I wrote all that section, let me clarify: - with crashed UFO i straight up did not remember contents of the thing of the week videos, I'll add that in. - with kitchen - it straight up says "likely unintentionally". The LEVEL THEME seemingly is reused, but the overall level itself became part of GOLF, though I will still clarify that on the wiki - vigilante-exclusive level isn't a hoax, it's just been a part of some random conversation with McPig on original PTD. Mr. Unown has also stated he remembers that being mentioned somewhere. I just also really felt like adding it in simply because it was never archived anywhere else (plus I love completely nonsensical ptd "mcpig came up with that" ideas, like peppito, who was supposed to be a cowboy peppino, or "every single level having different meters"). I would have added NTV level as well if I remembered literally anything about it besides it existing
You've honestly been on fire with these Pizza Tower videos lately, so much interesting lore about the game's development! I personally wasn't even aware of the game's existence back when all of these playtester builds were being worked on so it's nice to see someone compile so much info on stuff from them in video form.
Some things I want to mention - The door being elevated in GOLF might be an issue about the sprite itself, but I don't know personally - City is broken in the first room because the instance layer (the one with all the objects per room) is toggled as invisible, making the game bug out. You can still see if you press pause however - The rooms for Top that crash do that due to the object that teleports you to a room using a room that doesn't exist anymore (Rooms for a lost Pizzaland level which has no playable form of in the files besides in City) so instead uses a variable in-place, which crashes because nothing is set for the variable to do anything - Good Eatin' was originally for the scrapped Kitchen level before being implemented into GOLF - The assets for Stickland were for a scrapped playable Mr. Stick, which was in the works in September 2023 and (possibly) scrapped around then for The Noise Update
14:35 here's a deeply interesting fact that i think not enough of the community knows: those rooms are copies of the first room except unfinished and with a circus background. when you check what the entrances in those rooms they send you to "circus_1 A" (which needless to say doesnt exist in either the rework build or the final game). This seems to imply pretty heavily that at some point between april and september circus was its own level but it got very shortly reworked into top.
32:11 These assets weren't for the level Stickland. These were actually for the scrapped Mr Stick update, which made Mr Stick playable with his own set of levels made for just his moveset. These assets were added to the game files when the Halloween update dropped, so I'm guessing this update was scrapped near or shortly after the Halloween update. About a month or two after the Halloween update dropped, footage of the Mr Stick update was leaked alongside with a Pizza Tower spinoff game which is possibly cancelled called Noise's big break.

*FUN* (farm) fact about grinch build and mansion: In the grinch race build people like *Unus3d guy* found a actual very WIP and early version of the mansion level (grinch build was made and launched in 2018 and the first time mansion was used in a build is in 2019, so the idea was made in the same year pizza tower started delevopment)
Mansion had the clown transformation in april 2021 because the level was being reworked into being an horror attraction in a theme park (probably pizzaland), according to a very specific piece of concept art.
The grinch level seems to be an extended reference to a pilotredsun video using music from it and the gifs are straight from the vid. (It’s called grinch ultimatum if y’all are interested)
Correction: BOTH songs from The Pizza Dream are in the final game. Leaning Nightmare is the escape theme from when every level was planned to have it's own escape theme (like Small Fruit, 5PM it has motifs from Leaning Dream) and is in the ost as a bonus, and Leaning Dream is actually the pause menu music. Despite it being called "Space" in the Secret Kings room, everywhere else, its referred to as "Leaning Dream"
Maybe it’s because originally back In April 2021 Leaning dream was used for deep dish 9 which at that time was just called space Extraterrestrial Wah Wahs was used in Space pinball but when that level got cut the song was resused in Deep dish 9 This fun fact is also referenced in the final game because the track for the pause menu in the Halloween update is called “Spacey Pumpkins”
It's so cool seeing people put together information like this. I remember being in the discord and being a bystander to a lot of level ideas and names going around. I was really eager to see what exit and kid's party were going to be like. Such a cool game, so much development history
fun fact the reason why the first room of city is just black is not because of some bug or similar, the reason is pig. pig made the instances layer (where rhe player, interactable objects and etc are) invisible.
7:30 this is actually because its the oldest conceptualized level to make it into the final game with its first appearance in demo 2. it actually had 3 revisions (plus the rework build changed up heavily the at the time current version), making it the most revised level in the final game
The build that the cut golf level is I'm is actually 2qy more interesting then the golf level itself bc of its cheats that allows you to play as a version of the noise and more interestingly the pizza time fake peppino mechanic where he'd chase you around after pizza time starts.
You’re right to be a skeptic about the restored mansion mod lol. I got it off the tcrf page during a period where it was riddled with misinformation. While, from memory, I recall it being mostly intact, who knows what creative liberties could’ve been taken?
the "spooky apartment" level's assets are actually used for the early test build tutorial stage, tunnely shimbers was originally the music for the "lights out" level and/or dark section of the city level, and i'm pretty sure the "kitchen" level's background was used for the main part of golf, with the music "good eatin'" also coming from the kitchen level
16:05 i feel like this joke is meant to be ominous and sudden but i cant take it seriously when you put that stupid ass work at a pizza place sound effect over it
Ngl I like to consider The Early Levels, March 2019, Sage, Western B+F and April 2021 their own games entirely due to how different the levels and mechanics are from Pizza Tower from 2023. It even works lore wise if you believe that Sage 2019 comes after Pizza Tower and all of these old yet completed levels are apart of a in universe Pizza Tower Game (you can see a copy of Pizza Tower in oh shits trash pan as The Noise. Anyway if there were 2 unused levels that I wish were reworked and added to the final game I’d be Both Strongcold and Mansion (Strongcold on floor 4 after freezerador and Mansion on floor 5 before pizzascare) (both being hidden levels in the hub of each floor) With how much Pizzascare had a glow up from Sage to The Final game I can imagine a new remake Strongcold to be fun as hell keeping the vertical layout yet you go up and more gimmicks like ice slipping and even the Noise boss fight at the end can be reworked into whack a noise sections throughout the level And Mansion could also be a banger since I thought the Knight transformation was underutilized only appearing in Pizzascape Mansion could be a more advanced version of that plus the grindrails, the flaming haybales and the clown transformation and Grandpa pepper as a enemy too it sounds genuinely awesome. Besides both of these levels have unique treasures and all the assets are complete so it’s really about Turing them into great level layouts
i think the most interesting part of city to me is that one of its secret rooms is the only room in the files that's actually straight up broken, there are objects with duplicate IDs inside it that freak out undertalemodtool if you try to do anything with them another cool thing: you can actually see mansion's treasure (the calzone) fly out of peppino during the true ending
32:12 those assets were made for playable Mr. Stick back in august/september 2023 but he was scrapped before 2024, Stickland never got anything done besides a single concept piece
I just assumed those had something to do with stickland because there's just no other level in the game that has money gimmick, it could have been just reworked into something else for all I know
1:55 im not sure what site this is from but i remember writing this as a trivia point in the miraheze wiki. if this blurb is my contribution to the video, im glad i got noticed like this
You didn't talk abt the one where if police cars touches you, you go back to the start of the room, and the fact that you were supposed to deliver pizzas to the peoples in pig city, and in another level, you would get abducted by an alien after delivering him pizza (making us go in a ufo (maybe like the one in uragano desert)) (the pizza delivering mechanic seemed to be supposed to appear more in the game)
Actually, I've found that both of the Pizza Dream songs are in the final game OST lord thank mcpig for making Leaning Dream I love it so much it's unreal 🙏🙏
I know it's not completly related to the video but when is this Noise resting on his skateboard animation used? ( 21:41 ) I accidentaly discovered it while practising instaturns using the pause menu and at one point Noise started doing this pose. I have no idea what exactly caused it to happen but I don't see anyone ever talking about it and I don't think there's any footage of this happening in modern pizza tower. If anyone knows more about it please let me know, I'm really curious!
There's quite a few old builds of WAR that weren't mentioned in the video, such as the April 2021 and Rework versions which were very different to the final level
10:07 I don't remember where I heard this so idk if it is true or not, but I think at some point in development, RRF was going to be a level where you play as Pepperman (nvm it shows it at 32:00)
correction regarding stickland: those assets you showed in the vid that were related to stickland, as far as im aware are not. There's no proof for it being for stickland and I legit have no idea why they haven't been removed from that wiki page yet seeing as, well theres no proof those were for stickland.
i've edited that page to say that it is unknown if they are related or not. i decided to not move them elsewhere, as all of the sprites there are connected and it'd be weird to create a page just for those, like, it's possibly a coincidence that the money gimmick was reused
It’s such a cool level, I love how it changed and evolved so much over time. It’s such a big shame that it eventually started falling apart by the time 2021 rolled around, though in the end I’m sure whatever replaced it ended up being much better
not even a dlc, we don't have outright confirmation on what it was actually supposed to be. there ARE gameplay videos of mr stick being playable, but we have no idea what it's for
I always had a feeling that mcpig could add unused and old versions of different levels as a final update after the noise update as a separate floor after you beat the game, but i guess it Will never happen would be nice for a final update but eh mods exist
heya in pizza tower rework there is bosses just they were in the files but you can put a command on the console just press F5, and also there 5 bosses, pepperman, vigilante, noise, MRSTICK?!, and pizzaface, yep mrstick was supposed to be a boss but it was discarded (im yapping about because im speaking facts for him)
Sorry to be that guy but the snicks challenge level appears in 2 builds. I dont know if it was leaked or was a patreon build but there were 2 builds for sage 2019 (v12 and v14). I believe that v12 had some incomplete mechanics, tiles, and a crash during snicks challenge (i dont know how to trigger that one).
April’s in the files of the game, and I covered it as the final part of the first section. Rework I decided not to cover, as I couldn’t find any info of it being in the files(?), and since it’s a main level it was pardoned anyways
Music can enhance a person's immersion. For example, in the finale of Vardøhus Fortress, players must wait for a ship to arrive after lighting the lighthouse. The song is a completely orchestral piece with very intense and aggressive violins, which makes sense because the players have no room, as they are forced to defend a long dock with the only saving grace being the two cannons that are on the mainland but tucked away. Even then, the people on the cannons are going to be stressed because they need to shoot down the bombers in time, as they will be the main pushing force. They must then get back to the dock and go through the zombies just to get on the ship. Luckily, the ship crew and survivors can attempt to cover their retreat, and when the ship is pulling in, the violins soften, signaling to the players that the ship is here. In Kaub, the music is a mashed-up version of Ode to Joy. Players fight their way to the top of Pfalzgrafenstein castle where Blucher and an officer of the prussian 1.garde zu fuß await. This is also where players respawn, as the surviving members of Bulcher's group are waiting. Bulcher, in the final stages of infection, says, "Nimm es jetzt," and hands the players a key. “Beende es” “Beende es für Preußen!" Diese Teufel sind im Keller eingesperrt. Sobald ihr das Schloss erobert, werden wir den Weg für die Rest der Armee sichern!” After a minute, he collapses, and the officer bends down, saying, "Herr Feldmarschall," just before Bulcher turns and rips his throat out. Players then descend a winding staircase to set up defenses before releasing the horde. In this finale, unlike others where players escape, they are actively eliminating the zombies. The loud and cheerful Ode to Joy fits this well, culminating in players raising the Prussian flag after defeating all the zombies.At the beginning of the Kaub map, players spawn in a church where an organ version of Ode to Joy plays. This eerie rendition contrasts sharply with the triumphant version heard later, reflecting the players' initial ignorance of the situation as they are in the German rear guard. The map Catacombs features the finale song "1812 Overture" and shows how music can also be used to signal events to the players. Once the players escape the catacombs, they meet with a somewhat heavily barricaded position, and Jean, a soldier of the 1e regiment d’infanterie, is responsible for organizing the evacuation of Parisians from the city. They had been forced to hunker down, but the arrival of our team allows for organizing a swift evacuation. He is Waving at the players, once they go to the bridge, he will say, “Parfait, nous avons l'ordre de faire nos bagages et de faire sortir les derniers Parisiens d'ici! Défendons le pont jusqu'à ce que nous sonnions les cloches. Une fois que nous avons terminé, nous pouvons vous couvrir jusqu'à ce qu'un de nos passeurs vienne vous chercher. Bonne chance!” Then the horde comes, and the players have access to cannons and a lot of sapper building space. As the song "1812 Overture" plays, it was made with real cannons and bells in it, so in-game, the cannons and noter dames , which signals that the boat is on the way. The next map is San Sebastian. This map's finale starts with a rocket firing, and Barry, who is the last of his regiment at the fort, as everyone else is dead, says, “Hello! I think I got the attention of that ship over there. I can lower this platform and get us down there. Hold tight until I can bring this platform back up.” The players then have to hold out for a bit until the song "Facing the Inevitable" starts to play. Barry says, “Get on the platform!” He starts to lower it, but then you hear screaming as Barry is attacked, along with the screaming and crying as he gets eaten alive and blown up, forcing one player to sacrifice to lower the platform. Once the platform is lowered, the players will end up surrounded as a waterfall of zombies pours out of the fort, and some zombies come from a nearby British camp. Now the players must hold. The song really fits the action as it swells when the players learn one must sacrifice, and then the violins pick up and never stop until the rowboat rows away, as players must put up a desperate defense with their backs to the waterline. The next map is Leipzig. This map follows a big coalition force as they need to escape the city. This is the shortest map in the game, and the finale happens once the players blow up the gate with the gunpowder cart, where they must prepare a defense and wait for a man to blow up another gate for their escape. Once the players set up their defense, they will ring the bell, signaling for their rescue and calling the horde. They must hold out for about three minutes before the finale push starts playing. The music signals the retreat as the players move to the still-locked gate. As the music hits its climax, Jacob, an engineer of the 2e regiment du génie, arrives and sadly blows himself up along with the gate. Now the players must run, as someone lit the bridge fuse too early. As the music calms down, the bridge blows up, and victory is achieved. The next map is Copenhagen, also known as Bomber Hell. In this map, the British are firebombing the once proud capital of Denmark, as the city is now under quarantine. Once the players fight through the city, they reach a boat and there are no zombies, which is odd. But once the players blow up the barricade and start sailing, the zombies swarm the boat, turning it into a desperate melee, as there is no time to reload a gun. Once the players pass under the bridge, which is a respawn point, they can see a ship in the distance, and the crew is singing "The Death of Nelson." Now the players engage in a cannon fight with the Royal Brig Sloop. Eventually, you will hit the ship's magazine, causing it to sink and one of the sailors to drown. You then clear the last of the zombies. The song that plays here is a Mozart piece, which, unlike a lot of the other songs, starts out loud but is actually quite joyous. It starts to play when the players board the boat and really complements the sounds of sword slashing and screaming. It gives a sense of hope, but unlike Kaub, there is dread, especially once you get to the ship boss fight and the fact that the songs get quieter at some sections and louder at others. Unlike a lot of other finales, you are locked to a very small ship and can’t retreat or gain any ground, nor can you set up defenses on the ship to block the zombies. Now there are a few miscellaneous songs I want to talk about. There is a mechanic in both Vardøhus Fortress and Berezina called freezing, where if you are in the cold too long, you start to take damage. Now there is a track that goes along with it; it starts out quiet as you are barely cold, but as you get colder, the music gets louder, adding to the sense of dread. Especially on Berezina, I feel that where the mechanic shines. The map works with players tasked with building a bridge, and every so often, a horde spawns, forcing the players inside. Now, there is freezing water, which makes you cold quicker, and you are forced to go into the water to build the bridge, so you are going to need to dip inside to warm up. But as the bridge gets longer, the time to get back gets longer, and you still need to fight the zombies to get there, who could really slow you down, leading to panic. There are also a bunch of hidden details that add to the lore. These can mostly be found in notes and newspapers. A note from Erdhard Dentlinger, a soldier of the 5th Preysing, is located under a helmet. It details the events leading to the final stand at Tyrolean village. At the end of the note, he says, “I’ve come a long way and I’ve fought this evil since Russia. I know they don’t abide by the senses. They’ll trudge their way through this town and find us regardless of our hiding. It’ll be a massacre. I write this note with the belief I’ll be dead by tomorrow. I don’t plan to desert; I’m tired of running. The others are still oblivious, believing they’ll pass through without a hitch. I will defend this village with my life, and surely we’ll all fall. When we do, I hope we’ll break even and make a greater dent to their numbers.” In the map Catacombs, there are various messages left on the walls by Parisians during the arrival of the zombies, such as Zechariah 14:12, which reads as follows:And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth." Also at the start of the map you will see bloody graffiti “im infected,i lit up as much of the catacombs as i could i hold the keys to the Empire of the dead KILL ME”. this is also a hint to what the players have to do kill the shambler with the key to the locked gate the map hougoumont has REPENT THE END IS VARY NEAR on one of it walls as well on la ferme d’En-haut there is a log book that reads “three bags of flour, forty bottles of juice” “five died yesterday down to twenty men” give twenty men two bottles each. A bag of five bread loaves.

-crashed ufo is in fact not related to deep dish nine at all, and actually was the original idea for space pinball. it is confounding to me that the wiki doesn't mention this fact, because you can easily find this factoid by watching the thing of the week videos.
-the kitchen level being "readded to don't make a sound" is complete nonsense and i have no idea what the person who wrote that was on. we actually know what happened to the kitchen level, in fact: it was fused with golf! hence why that level is a burger restaurant in addition to being a minigolf course.

- City is broken in the first room because the instance layer (the one with all the objects per room) is toggled as invisible, making the game bug out. You can still see if you press pause however
- The rooms for Top that crash do that due to the object that teleports you to a room using a room that doesn't exist anymore (Rooms for a lost Pizzaland level which has no playable form of in the files besides in City) so instead uses a variable in-place, which crashes because nothing is set for the variable to do anything
- Good Eatin' was originally for the scrapped Kitchen level before being implemented into GOLF

Anyway if there were 2 unused levels that I wish were reworked and added to the final game I’d be Both Strongcold and Mansion (Strongcold on floor 4 after freezerador and Mansion on floor 5 before pizzascare) (both being hidden levels in the hub of each floor)
With how much Pizzascare had a glow up from Sage to The Final game I can imagine a new remake Strongcold to be fun as hell keeping the vertical layout yet you go up and more gimmicks like ice slipping and even the Noise boss fight at the end can be reworked into whack a noise sections throughout the level
And Mansion could also be a banger since I thought the Knight transformation was underutilized only appearing in Pizzascape Mansion could be a more advanced version of that plus the grindrails, the flaming haybales and the clown transformation and Grandpa pepper as a enemy too it sounds genuinely awesome.
Besides both of these levels have unique treasures and all the assets are complete so it’s really about Turing them into great level layouts
i think the most interesting part of city to me is that one of its secret rooms is the only room in the files that's actually straight up broken, there are objects with duplicate IDs inside it that freak out undertalemodtool if you try to do anything with them
another cool thing: you can actually see mansion's treasure (the calzone) fly out of peppino during the true ending
32:12 those assets were made for playable Mr. Stick back in august/september 2023 but he was scrapped before 2024, Stickland never got anything done besides a single concept piece
I just assumed those had something to do with stickland because there's just no other level in the game that has money gimmick, it could have been just reworked into something else for all I know
THEY KILLED SNICK!!!!!!
1:55 im not sure what site this is from but i remember writing this as a trivia point in the miraheze wiki. if this blurb is my contribution to the video, im glad i got noticed like this
it has pretty much less crashes than I thought the video would have
And btw if you stand next to Santa (Or noise same thing) in the strongcold level boss, then it works
You didn't talk abt the one where if police cars touches you, you go back to the start of the room, and the fact that you were supposed to deliver pizzas to the peoples in pig city, and in another level, you would get abducted by an alien after delivering him pizza (making us go in a ufo (maybe like the one in uragano desert)) (the pizza delivering mechanic seemed to be supposed to appear more in the game)
just for you to know, in the boss fight in the strongcold you can stand next to santa noise and the level won't crash and continue normally
Actually, I've found that both of the Pizza Dream songs are in the final game OST
lord thank mcpig for making Leaning Dream I love it so much it's unreal 🙏🙏
Merry Christmas Wincel
pizza hell is the only thing that awaits for me
I know it's not completly related to the video but when is this Noise resting on his skateboard animation used? ( 21:41 )
I accidentaly discovered it while practising instaturns using the pause menu and at one point Noise started doing this pose. I have no idea what exactly caused it to happen but I don't see anyone ever talking about it and I don't think there's any footage of this happening in modern pizza tower. If anyone knows more about it please let me know, I'm really curious!
If you stand beside the noise Santa in strongcold, the game won’t crash and you can play the boss fight normally
30 minutes of content,,,, yummers...
Silvia talking about pizza tower and not for pvz is just WOW
There's quite a few old builds of WAR that weren't mentioned in the video, such as the April 2021 and Rework versions which were very different to the final level
4:42 correction it was actually thrown into a build called "summary build" released in may of 2019.
snick challenge in the final game would be insane it'll have to use all main levels, i understand it was just a little extra thing for that demo
13:36 respect for using I need a noise
10:07 I don't remember where I heard this so idk if it is true or not, but I think at some point in development, RRF was going to be a level where you play as Pepperman
(nvm it shows it at 32:00)
28:58 pretty sure it does this because it tries to put you in the western build hub and that has creation code to put you in rework build’s hub
room_goto(hub_reception)
a cool thing bout the christmas race level is that its a modified version of desert
14:04 Hmm the rooms you showed seem fun and demanding of the player
if the pt levels were actual people they would prob act like they in saw or total drama the way mcpig just cuts them
You should added the recently "I Need A Noise" from SiIvagunner
correction regarding stickland: those assets you showed in the vid that were related to stickland, as far as im aware are not. There's no proof for it being for stickland and I legit have no idea why they haven't been removed from that wiki page yet seeing as, well theres no proof those were for stickland.
i've edited that page to say that it is unknown if they are related or not. i decided to not move them elsewhere, as all of the sprites there are connected and it'd be weird to create a page just for those, like, it's possibly a coincidence that the money gimmick was reused
I appreciate the Zenless Zone Zero soundtrack at the beginning of the video. I like ZZZ's soundtrack
if the demo 3 is an official demo, there 2 unused levels
1-roof (rooftop)
2-la burrata temple (sacturn)
I honestly feel like Mansion is the FACE of unused levels due to its very diverse and interesting history.
It’s such a cool level, I love how it changed and evolved so much over time. It’s such a big shame that it eventually started falling apart by the time 2021 rolled around, though in the end I’m sure whatever replaced it ended up being much better
The Mr. Stick collectables in the game files aren't actually for Stickland, they're for the scrapped playable Mr. Stick update.
I think Pizza Hell was an early version of Bloodsauce Dungeon since it's also kidna a hell-like level
For those wondering, the said object at 13:07 is a clownmato
32:15 These are sprites for a cut-out DLC with Mr. Stick (yes, there was one).
not even a dlc, we don't have outright confirmation on what it was actually supposed to be. there ARE gameplay videos of mr stick being playable, but we have no idea what it's for
24:38 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I always had a feeling that mcpig could add unused and old versions of different levels as a final update after the noise update as a separate floor after you beat the game, but i guess it Will never happen would be nice for a final update but eh mods exist
im pretty sure at some point pepper man was meant to be in the mansion level! as like a chase thing
HOLY great job
The mansion level is my favourite unused level it's such a shame it got cut
I have PTSD from the grinch race demo
Freefallin’ 😢
What about it?
@ it never got the chance to be playable
it was an idea, never was made a level
@@Krispizzoh shit nvm
Lore of Explaining EVERY Cut & Unused Pizza Tower Level… momentum 100
a Peppibot outfit would've been amazing
*Insert horrible like beggar here*
Indeed.
This peaks
why the minions. WHY THE MINIONS.
So many iterations and they still couldn’t get the final level to be any good
I still want my mansion back
heya in pizza tower rework there is bosses just they were in the files but you can put a command on the console just press F5, and also there 5 bosses, pepperman, vigilante, noise, MRSTICK?!, and pizzaface, yep mrstick was supposed to be a boss but it was discarded (im yapping about because im speaking facts for him)
Honestly I really liked the concept of Pinball, probably because of I like pinball.
7:08 not an S
0:00 its actually used as ancient cheese
The beach level was originally called "Pineapple beach"
and, city was originally gonna use the soundtrack called "delivery in the city"
what is the command for the pinball space ball strong cold in the final game so i can play them
24:02 it's claus
1:14 *Pizzascape 14:10 erm, Pizza Tower Cheesed Up
24:04 how to teleport there?
I have debug mode
Sorry to be that guy but the snicks challenge level appears in 2 builds. I dont know if it was leaked or was a patreon build but there were 2 builds for sage 2019 (v12 and v14). I believe that v12 had some incomplete mechanics, tiles, and a crash during snicks challenge (i dont know how to trigger that one).
I always liked the rework mansion, wish they would have made it into the final game
That's us! fr fr
lmao
19:35 grinch build
27:21 noise flips you off and crashes the game
stickland assets. riiiiight........
im sad that the unique pizza time themes were removed
1:58 ctop is almost if not more easy than jhon gutter
14:05 *Yeah.*
Can you do bosses next
good luck trying to fix obj_bosscontrollerOLD
You forgot april build and rework build versions of dmas vro 💔
April’s in the files of the game, and I covered it as the final part of the first section. Rework I decided not to cover, as I couldn’t find any info of it being in the files(?), and since it’s a main level it was pardoned anyways
@@SylviaYSIi didnt saw that part of the video FUCK sorry/.
uhyeah is that you
Music can enhance a person's immersion. For example, in the finale of Vardøhus Fortress, players must wait for a ship to arrive after lighting the lighthouse. The song is a completely orchestral piece with very intense and aggressive violins, which makes sense because the players have no room, as they are forced to defend a long dock with the only saving grace being the two cannons that are on the mainland but tucked away. Even then, the people on the cannons are going to be stressed because they need to shoot down the bombers in time, as they will be the main pushing force. They must then get back to the dock and go through the zombies just to get on the ship. Luckily, the ship crew and survivors can attempt to cover their retreat, and when the ship is pulling in, the violins soften, signaling to the players that the ship is here.
In Kaub, the music is a mashed-up version of Ode to Joy. Players fight their way to the top of Pfalzgrafenstein castle where Blucher and an officer of the prussian 1.garde zu fuß await. This is also where players respawn, as the surviving members of Bulcher's group are waiting. Bulcher, in the final stages of infection, says, "Nimm es jetzt," and hands the players a key.
“Beende es” “Beende es für Preußen!" Diese Teufel sind im Keller eingesperrt. Sobald ihr das Schloss erobert, werden wir den Weg für die Rest der Armee sichern!” After a minute, he collapses, and the officer bends down, saying, "Herr Feldmarschall," just before Bulcher turns and rips his throat out. Players then descend a winding staircase to set up defenses before releasing the horde. In this finale, unlike others where players escape, they are actively eliminating the zombies. The loud and cheerful Ode to Joy fits this well, culminating in players raising the Prussian flag after defeating all the zombies.At the beginning of the Kaub map, players spawn in a church where an organ version of Ode to Joy plays. This eerie rendition contrasts sharply with the triumphant version heard later, reflecting the players' initial ignorance of the situation as they are in the German rear guard.
The map Catacombs features the finale song "1812 Overture" and shows how music can also be used to signal events to the players. Once the players escape the catacombs, they meet with a somewhat heavily barricaded position, and Jean, a soldier of the 1e regiment d’infanterie, is responsible for organizing the evacuation of Parisians from the city. They had been forced to hunker down, but the arrival of our team allows for organizing a swift evacuation. He is Waving at the players, once they go to the bridge, he will say, “Parfait, nous avons l'ordre de faire nos bagages et de faire sortir les derniers Parisiens d'ici! Défendons le pont jusqu'à ce que nous sonnions les cloches. Une fois que nous avons terminé, nous pouvons vous couvrir jusqu'à ce qu'un de nos passeurs vienne vous chercher. Bonne chance!” Then the horde comes, and the players have access to cannons and a lot of sapper building space. As the song "1812 Overture" plays, it was made with real cannons and bells in it, so in-game, the cannons and noter dames , which signals that the boat is on the way.
The next map is San Sebastian. This map's finale starts with a rocket firing, and Barry, who is the last of his regiment at the fort, as everyone else is dead, says, “Hello! I think I got the attention of that ship over there. I can lower this platform and get us down there. Hold tight until I can bring this platform back up.” The players then have to hold out for a bit until the song "Facing the Inevitable" starts to play. Barry says, “Get on the platform!” He starts to lower it, but then you hear screaming as Barry is attacked, along with the screaming and crying as he gets eaten alive and blown up, forcing one player to sacrifice to lower the platform. Once the platform is lowered, the players will end up surrounded as a waterfall of zombies pours out of the fort, and some zombies come from a nearby British camp. Now the players must hold. The song really fits the action as it swells when the players learn one must sacrifice, and then the violins pick up and never stop until the rowboat rows away, as players must put up a desperate defense with their backs to the waterline.
The next map is Leipzig. This map follows a big coalition force as they need to escape the city. This is the shortest map in the game, and the finale happens once the players blow up the gate with the gunpowder cart, where they must prepare a defense and wait for a man to blow up another gate for their escape. Once the players set up their defense, they will ring the bell, signaling for their rescue and calling the horde. They must hold out for about three minutes before the finale push starts playing. The music signals the retreat as the players move to the still-locked gate. As the music hits its climax, Jacob, an engineer of the 2e regiment du génie, arrives and sadly blows himself up along with the gate. Now the players must run, as someone lit the bridge fuse too early. As the music calms down, the bridge blows up, and victory is achieved.
The next map is Copenhagen, also known as Bomber Hell. In this map, the British are firebombing the once proud capital of Denmark, as the city is now under quarantine. Once the players fight through the city, they reach a boat and there are no zombies, which is odd. But once the players blow up the barricade and start sailing, the zombies swarm the boat, turning it into a desperate melee, as there is no time to reload a gun. Once the players pass under the bridge, which is a respawn point, they can see a ship in the distance, and the crew is singing "The Death of Nelson." Now the players engage in a cannon fight with the Royal Brig Sloop. Eventually, you will hit the ship's magazine, causing it to sink and one of the sailors to drown. You then clear the last of the zombies. The song that plays here is a Mozart piece, which, unlike a lot of the other songs, starts out loud but is actually quite joyous. It starts to play when the players board the boat and really complements the sounds of sword slashing and screaming. It gives a sense of hope, but unlike Kaub, there is dread, especially once you get to the ship boss fight and the fact that the songs get quieter at some sections and louder at others. Unlike a lot of other finales, you are locked to a very small ship and can’t retreat or gain any ground, nor can you set up defenses on the ship to block the zombies.
Now there are a few miscellaneous songs I want to talk about. There is a mechanic in both Vardøhus Fortress and Berezina called freezing, where if you are in the cold too long, you start to take damage. Now there is a track that goes along with it; it starts out quiet as you are barely cold, but as you get colder, the music gets louder, adding to the sense of dread. Especially on Berezina, I feel that where the mechanic shines. The map works with players tasked with building a bridge, and every so often, a horde spawns, forcing the players inside. Now, there is freezing water, which makes you cold quicker, and you are forced to go into the water to build the bridge, so you are going to need to dip inside to warm up. But as the bridge gets longer, the time to get back gets longer, and you still need to fight the zombies to get there, who could really slow you down, leading to panic.
There are also a bunch of hidden details that add to the lore. These can mostly be found in notes and newspapers. A note from Erdhard Dentlinger, a soldier of the 5th Preysing, is located under a helmet. It details the events leading to the final stand at Tyrolean village. At the end of the note, he says, “I’ve come a long way and I’ve fought this evil since Russia. I know they don’t abide by the senses. They’ll trudge their way through this town and find us regardless of our hiding. It’ll be a massacre. I write this note with the belief I’ll be dead by tomorrow. I don’t plan to desert; I’m tired of running. The others are still oblivious, believing they’ll pass through without a hitch. I will defend this village with my life, and surely we’ll all fall. When we do, I hope we’ll break even and make a greater dent to their numbers.” In the map Catacombs, there are various messages left on the walls by Parisians during the arrival of the zombies, such as Zechariah 14:12, which reads as follows:And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."
Also at the start of the map you will see bloody graffiti “im infected,i lit up as much of the catacombs as i could i hold the keys to the Empire of the dead KILL ME”. this is also a hint to what the players have to do kill the shambler with the key to the locked gate the map hougoumont has REPENT THE END IS VARY NEAR on one of it walls as well on la ferme d’En-haut there is a log book that reads “three bags of flour, forty bottles of juice” “five died yesterday down to twenty men” give twenty men two bottles each. A bag of five bread loaves.
