** [[https://northwaygames.com/exocolonist-original-design-docs/ Sarah Northway's original design docs]] for the game reveals some early concepts:
*** Anemone would've dated Vace only if you don't date her, when in the final game, she always dates him regardless of what you do, and you need to break them up first if you want to pursue them.
*** Tang would've been blonde.
*** Marz's sexual escapades would've been more evident in her romance arc, where she first dates the Head of Construction, then dumps him for the Head Gatherer, and then dumps ''him'' for another politician if you don't date her. She also originally had straight dark brown hair, while the rejected suitors became Rex, Utopia, and Lum, respectively.
*** Cal originally had curly brown hair and brown skin and also practiced an Islamic faith.
*** There's a spreadsheet of cut characters such as the aforementioned Ves, while Besk was supposed to be alive at some point in the game, which is why [[DummiedOut her data can be found in its files.]] She along with Anemone's triplet brothers are only mentioned in passing in the final product.
*** The game was originally going to have farming and colony sim elements, but they were cut to focus more on the narrative and characters. The overworld map was also going to be cut, but ultimately it was kept to set the game apart from other visual novels.
