* AscendedFanon: Several of the characters, such as Olivia, Liz, and Mia, began as ''Snoot Game'' fan characters before being repurposed for ''Wani''. The game itself began as a mod for ''Snoot Game'' before being spun off into its own production.

Added DiffLines:

* CreativeDifferences: One reason cited for the game's delays was the team behind the original mod not seeing eye-to-eye with Cavemanon's direction of the game's story and characters.


Added DiffLines:

* CreatorsPest: Mia. Whether its due to the falling out with the artist who created her, or from her being written with zero redeeming qualities throughout the story (especially the Ending 4 route), Mia has been the target of scorn from Cavemanon since the game released. This has included a drawing of her [[https://twitter.com/Cavemanon/status/1765816256333054211 getting crushed to death]] and the Steam Points Shop update including [[https://twitter.com/Cavemanon/status/1784056652125045199 an emote]] made to mock her.


Added DiffLines:

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Like its predecessor, the game has a large following in Latin America.


Added DiffLines:

* WorkingTitle: "Olivia Mod", prior to Cavemanon taking over production and turning it into a standalone title.

** The demo and release date trailer showed Lunara with a different design, and a leaked character sheet revealed she was designed as a transgender woman. WordOfGod has stated she is cisgender in the final game, and her sprite was edited a week before the game's launch to remove perceived "masculine" features.

** Several character design sheets were leaked in April 2024, which revealed early iterations of several characters:
*** Ben was originally meant to be a minor supporting character and have a red-haired raptor girlfriend named "MJ". As Ben's role in the story evolved, MJ was scrapped in favor of Ben dating Mia. Ironically, [[spoiler:in the GoldenEnding, Ben ''does'' eventually date a raptor, Lunara]].
*** Damien began as a long-haired [[Film/JurassicWorld Indominus rex]] and, based on early outfits, appeared to be a musician. His final iteration was created by multiple people working on him at once; by that time, the rest of the cast had already been finalized.
*** Mia originally had an X-shaped scar on her left cheek, and one iteration had her with a black leather jacket.

* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: The game is all but outright stated to be a SpiritualSequel to ''Snoot Game''; it takes place in a nearly identical setting, and has similarities in visual style, gameplay, story, and narrative tone. However, it never references any major ''Snoot Game'' characters by name due to that game being a parody of ''VideoGame/GoodbyeVolcanoHigh'', which Cavemanon has no legal rights to.

* DevelopmentGag: One of the drawings in Olivia's sketchbook is reminiscent of the original drawing of her that inspired the game.


Added DiffLines:

* MissingTrailerScene: The reveal trailer in 2022 showed as an animated sequence of Olivia riding down a skate ramp, which is absent from the final game.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Olivia was originally meant to be overweight and have features closer to her original design. The final game has her just chubby instead [[spoiler:and outright skinny in the epilogue]].
** The 2022 reveal trailer has a slightly different visual style for all of the characters.
** As outlined by her creator, Mia was originally meant to have a HeelFaceTurn ending where she realizes why she sees Inco and Olivia's relationship as such a threat to her, and in the GoldenEnding, she turns herself in to authorities to protect Kiara and Lunara, showing she truly cares about them.
