* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: Upon releasing "Satin Panties" and Mommy Mearest's design as a teaser for Week 4, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210419173818/https://twitter.com/ninja_muffin99/status/1340009678672175104 ninjamuffin commented]] that the "nsfw artists eatin good tonite". The team were ''very'' aware of the type of reception she was going to get, and her third song was even named [[FunWithAcronyms MILF]] - [[StacysMom Mom I'd Like to Fuck]] - as a playful reference to it.

** Girlfriend's idle animation was planned to have a part where she would swap which leg she was crossing; it got cut for time. %%https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9lnv0V4KAQ

** According to [=PhantomArcade=] in a [[https://mobile.twitter.com/PhantomArcade3K/status/1537155305628475395 tweet]], Girlfriend uses hand-me-down [=iPhones=] given to her by her parents, while Boyfriend uses "$100 Android based monthly card phones". He regularly gets mad whenever the 3G internet sucks and throws them off a five-story window into oncoming traffic. [[https://mobile.twitter.com/PhantomArcade3K/status/1537156342372347906 The reply below]] mentions that Boyfriend has a habit of drawing PictoChat-esque dick pics on his Samsung Galaxy before its 5 kilobytes of free space crashes the phone and he "instinctively throws it 200 feet off his roof".

** Kawai Sprite made an original track for the Kickstarter trailer, but Phantom Arcade didn't like how it sounded and opted for another song Kawai made, "Klaski Romper".

** Cassette Girl was originally planned to be the opponent for Week 8, with Week 8 itself releasing before the Kickstarter ended to drum up more hype for it. however, due to how hectic the Kickstarter was and the team already being heavily overworked, they decided to scrap that idea and do something else, with the Week instead focusing around an original character. %%https://twitter.com/Fnfunkg/status/1603565462943854592

* TalkingToHimself: Boyfriend rapping against Daddy Dearest during Week 1, Pico during Week 3, [[CrossdressingVoices Girlfriend]] in the tutorial, and Senpai during Week 6, as all are voiced by Kawai Sprite.

** According to [=PhantomArcade=] during a stream following the Week 8 leak, Pico and Nene are [[OfficialCouple now dating]].

** The first update following the [=KickStarter=] was supposed to release on April 30th, 2022, in celebration of Pico Day, but was pushed back to June 11th as the team felt it needed more work, and then was pushed back ''again'' to an unknown date due to still needing more work. One of the new programmers hired after the [=KickStarter=] [[https://twitter.com/EliteMasterEric/status/1577862220943425536 elaborated]] that the delay wasn't just because they were adding new content, but because they were overhauling the game's engine to make it easier to work with, as up Week 7 it was still the quickly and shoddily programmed mess used for the game jam the game originated from.

** Music/HatsuneMiku was originally planned to be a major character in the game, with the developers going as far as to reach out to Crypton Future Media (the owners of Hatsune Miku) to see if they can officially license her for the game. Unforunately, they weren't able to get permission from them to use her in the game, causing them to scrap whatever plans they had for her. She still makes a cameo in the first two tracks in week 5 though.

** [[VideoGame/VSWhitty Whitty]] is, by all accounts a fan character made for a mod, but his appearance is [[OriginalFlavour so akin to the actual game]] that some have confused him as an official character. This has not gone unnoticed by the devs, who retweeted copious amounts of fanart of Whitty back when their accounts were online, furthering his close resemblance to the actual game.

--> his name isn't keith -- dumb eggy lol\\

--> goodbye -- my penis

* ExiledFromContinuity: Music/HatsuneMiku, unfortunately. See WhatCouldHaveBeen below for details.

* AscendedFanon: ninjamuffin99 jokingly [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210419173938/https://twitter.com/ninja_muffin99/status/1338281398973689856 claimed]] that Pico and the Boyfriend dated each other at one point in past and were now exes in response to seeing ship art of the two. Despite it just being that, a [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210422004448/https://twitter.com/ninja_muffin99/status/1338285280349073412 joke]], ninjamuffin99's own stance on headcanons plus the general embracing of the concept by the developers and even [[https://twitter.com/TomFulp/status/1338559842890493955 Tom Fulp]] himself, lead many to run with the idea, so much so that ninjamuffin99 later claimed in a live stream that them being exes is in fact [[https://www.twitch.tv/ninja_muffin99/clip/MiniatureExquisiteMochaRickroll canon]], and not just a meme anymore. Whether this is canon/semi-canon/not canon to the main ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'' series is unclear due to Pico being an InterpretativeCharacter.

* {{Corpsing}}: Many of Johnny Utah's Game Over lines has the Captain barely holding it together after insulting the Boyfriend for losing. Similarly, after calling Boyfriend [[CountryMatters a cunt]], he bursts out laughing only to call him and Girlfriend the same word again.

** According to [=PhantomArcade=] during a stream following the Week 8 leak, Pico and Nene are now an OfficialCouple.
