Prototype Info


Unused Voice Actor

Shortly after the first press demos were completed, the original actor for the Postal Dude, Rick Hunter, had to leave the project due to obligations elsewhere. The stuff he recorded for the game is still present in the data files, and a good chunk of it was eventually snuck into Postal 2 Complete in a patch.

To do:
Rip, convert and upload raw files if they're still in the game

Development-Related Text

Original
Translated

A developer message in Russian telling them to put environment map directories in a .vmt file.

Unused Text

unusedcontent.cfg

A leftover from Portal 2. Its purpose is unknown.

Postal 3575

Unused Models

Most Unused models are from old character designs or scrapped ideas.

Early Player Model

An early, surprisingly different version of the Dude's player model can be found in models/main_menu/dude_main_menu.mdl. The version found in the finished game lacks the lower half of his trenchcoat, and only has a single animation, for the main menu lazing around.

Unused Test Town Hotel Models

The final game still has models from the test town hotel. These are all still in the game files due to Postal 3 still technically being in development when it released.

  • TestTown Hotel Sign

  • TestTown Hotel Bar

  • TestTown Hotel's Entry

Maxel

In a folder named 'Postal Rage', you can find a character named 'Maxel', he looks very different to everyone in the entire game. interestingly, in a developer screenshot, the developer is playing as Maxel, which most likely means Maxel was going to be the protagonist of Postal 3 (Postal Rage internally).

Unused Video

A placeholder video in the media folder, just a white backrground with the text 'cutscene in progress'.

Unused Textures

Postal III has many unused textures. Many are leftovers from scrapped ideas.

Bloody Hippie Dude Textures

Postal 360

  • Body

Unused Sounds

The game's unfinished state means there's a fair few sounds that go unused, some of them from early builds of the game.
