** Similarly, Gendys is called Adorn in some tooltips in the menu, the latter name was used for most of the development before being changed to the former because it was too similar to Adorya's.
** Ranahel's name is sometimes misspelt "Ranaël" in the menu.

** ''Crossroad'' was obviously based on an earlier version of the game's plot, judging by the blatant [[ContinuitySnarl continuity errors]] between the two. This might be why the manga's seventh chapter was never released, since according to previews, it would have differed drastically from the game's story.
** The Maherian guide seems to also be an example to some extent, as it contains some words for things not found in the final game. Curiously, it's also an [[InvertedTrope inversion]], since many Maherian lines in the game use an outdated version of the language, which was retooled during the development, whereas the guide uses the final version.

** When Samir Rebib started working on the game, his original manga ''The Shiness'' [[CreatorBacklash no longer satisfied him]], so he [[BuryYourArt shut its website down]], he down]]. He now [[OldShame refuses to republish]] it, as he feels it hasn't aged well. While part of the website was archived by the Wayback Machine, the manga's pages weren't (except [[https://web.archive.org/web/20061201105605/http://the.shiness.free.fr/TheShinessV2/Images/TheShinessTome2/The_Shiness_38.jpg page 38 of volume 2]], of all things) and no backups are known to exist. The first few chapters of the manga were also published in the fanzine ''Fantaizine'', but copies of it are extremely rare nowadays, some issues might be entirely lost.


Added DiffLines:

** Unlike the other Kickstarter rewards, the Maherian guide was only available in French.

Added DiffLines:

* DawsonCasting: All the game's voice actors are adults in both versions, even the ones who voice Chado and Poky. Justified in the case of the Maherian version, since it would have been extremely difficult to find children who can act ''in a language they don't speak''.

* In early builds, spells and techniques weren't the only moves players had to master in order to use them without needing to have the corresponding scroll equipped, this also applied to overworld moves, even the [[YouHaveResearchedBreathing most basic ones]] like ''jumping''. This mechanic was presumably removed to improve pacing, or it might just have been a placeholder for testing purposes.
* According to the game's Kickstarter page, the place where backers can see their names was originally intended to be a wall on Mantara rather than the ruins near the Giant's Hall, this was probably changed because Mantara turned out to be [[ThrivingGhostTown too small]]. Furthermore, according to the game's artbook, the place was also intended to be a tower at some point.

* UnfinishedEpisode: ''Crossroad'' was QuietlyCancelled before its seventh chapter was completed, it was eventually revealed by Géo in 2017, but since it was never finished, some of its speech bubbles are empty and it lacks a proper ending.



** A seventh chapter for ''Crossroad'' was teased but never released, possibly because its story was [[ContinuitySnarl deviating too much]] from the game's: according to previews, Ayron was intended to appear much earlier, find Poky after the Asanao's crash and learn from him that Chado was summoned by Terra, while Kayenne and Rosalya were intended to meet Chado first while fighting Askel (who was intended to have MindControl powers like in the original manga) and Altania. Géo, ''Crossroad'''s artist, eventually [[https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17869166801797636/ revealed]] the chapter in 2022.

to:

** A ''Crossroad'' was intended to be 10 chapters long, and Enigami was planning to publish it first online then as a print manga, but it was QuietlyCancelled after its sixth chapter and never went past the online stage.

** Samir Rebib started imagining the ''Shiness'' universe in the '90s when he was ''seven'', the game and the manga before it were passion projects he spent more than ''two decades'' of his life trying to get made.
** Déborah Lebon and Clément Michard, the creators of the Maherian language, convinced the studio to let them invent a functional language rather than [[{{Simlish}} gibberish]] and went as far as to create several dialects for the different species. Furthermore, the studio wasn't planning to have a Maherian alphabet created (an [[https://scontent-cdg4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/1003069_726531247427191_5455471059207030627_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=cdbe9c&_nc_ohc=I1WJ1TKto6YAX8SnO6E&_nc_oc=AQlI02xU1A5hHPyI6Ov8Nbm7jhA3uobiDnrR0LsQikqNufomT4dVQYO0dIEffLMLTSoFm-qBKJhwpFOP4M87R6aQ&_nc_ht=scontent-cdg4-1.xx&oh=00_AfC2yo8BdhewAOWwaBRdARFYaJvKwUXdYZF24XOvSHffGw&oe=645F994B early version]] of a page from ''Crossroad'' just used meaningless scribbles), but Michard made it anyway.

** The unreleased seventh chapter of ''Crossroad'' is a rescued example: Géo, the artist, kept it and finally released it on Instagram in 2022.



** ''Crossroad'' was only available in French and English, even though the Spanish and German versions also contain the puzzle requiring reading it.
