History Trivia / Vexx

* LongBusTrip: The IP has been purchased by Throwback Entertainment in 2006, alongside various other Acclaim titles before the company went out of business, as of yet though there is no indication whether they plan to do anything with the verse if anything can be done.

** Some leaked concept art featuring [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/vexx2-78153723 a evil-looking Vexx]], [[http://manu1.deviantart.com/art/vexx-2-astani-gloves-78251237 his War Talons]], and [[http://subtractivedesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/vexx-making-of-part-1.html an almost-angelic Vexx]] summoning enemies to fight for him hints that a sequel was planned but canned when Acclaim went bankrupt. According to an interview with Kynan Pearson featured in a speedrun, his original draft for Vexx 2 started with Vexx being tortured by ShadowWraiths and he would've had the power to summon spirits with different properties.

** According to a developer interview, Vexx's original name, Jinx, was meant to be indicative of his "habit of getting themselves into bad luck." However, due to legal issues with the name, they changed it to Vexx, indicative of him "turning his bad luck on his enemies."
** In the same interview, it was confirmed that a major reason why Clip and Mischief, an early draft of the game, ended up cut was because they were afriad of being accused of ripping off ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter.''

** Also done by the same guy, is this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt-76ceWQEE&index=5&list=PLwV72rbySokElpmDL6EXfkKI15_I3-Yee video]]that details the removed riddles in Vexx. Apparently, of the 144 planned, only 81 made it in. Special mention in terms of unused riddles goes to not only the aforementioned Sigil missions, but a hidden mission in each world involving locating a Vexx doppelganger and apparently racing them. The code for the doppelganger is still in the game files, but causes a game crash if used.

** In an early report of the game, it was mentioned that there was an entire quest involving "unlocking the secrets of the Astani language." This quest was in the form of the Sigil items, small disks with an Astani letter or number engraved on them. There were 6 in each world, 36 in all, but all but one (missed by Acclaim most likely due to the placement of it) ended up cut. The remanining one can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6zEyxMnoWQ here.]]

** A GBA version was planned, but it never materialized, most likely due to budget or time constraints.

** 18 worlds were planned for inclusion, but only 9 of them made it in, most likely due to time constraints.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Concept art of Vexx indicates that during the pre-production phase of the game the main character was originally planned at one point to be named Clip or Jinx, and at one point was going to be a female. He/she was also originally going to have a sidekick named [[http://subtractivedesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/vexx-making-of-part-1.html Mischief]] who was later cut out.

* AwesomeMusic: Like the soundtrack? You can listen to it [[http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/vexx-original-game-audio here!]]
** [[http://sites.google.com/site/vexxgamemusic/home This alternate soundtrack]] for the game is quite unique. In addition to having tracks not on the other soundtrack, it includes tracks that [[DummiedOut never made it into the final game,]] for various reasons. As well, it has a few snippets of info on areas that had to be cut from the final game.

** An early trailer for the game reveals that Vexx was once planned to have a wider vocal range in terms of his yells and growls. This same trailer also shows rain pouring on one level when weather patterns aren't even in the final game (except for Frostblight Mill, where snow can be seen falling.)

** There were also going to be blood effects and even a four-player multiplayer.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Oh SO MUCH! Daggercrag and Dragonreach were originally going to be one massive world but the lack of a 9th level forced Acclaim to split it in two. There was also going to be a creature that Vexx could mount, however it was cut (most likely for AI problems.) There were several cut worlds such as a massive tree known in the music files as "[=RedWood=]", a volcanic world and some world by the name of Submergis. There was also supposed to be a level before the tutorial for sneaking into Yabu's ship to acquire the Talons. There were also going to be blood effects and even a four-player multiplayer, again cut to meet the deadline. Basically this game could have seen the light of mainstream media, had Acclaim had more time, funding and resources.
