Paper Mario: The Origami King datamine suggests the team considered implementing experience points

Paper Mario: The Origami King doesn’t have a traditional experience points system. When you win a battle, you instead receive coins and confetti. However, at one point, implementing experience points during development may have been a possibility.
Fans have picked up on that information based on a datamine of the game’s save file. Interestingly enough, one of the variables included is “battle_win_exP”. It’s included in the final game and can be easily seen by opening up the save file data in a program like Notepad.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising rated in Tawian by Ubisoft, possibly the new title for Gods & Monsters
Posted on 4 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A game entitled “Immortals: Fenyx Rising” has appeared on the Taiwanese rating board with Ubisoft listed as the publisher. It has been rated for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
While no game by this name has been announced by Ubisoft at this time, it seems likely this is the new title for their upcoming adventure game, Gods & Monsters. Ubisoft confirmed that Gods & Monsters would be getting a new name after its accidental demo leak back in June and seeing that the main character’s name is Fenyx, it makes sense that this would be the new title.
However, nothing has been confirmed at this time and this information comes from Gematsu, not Ubisoft directly. So, there is a slim chance that this game is not Gods & Monsters, but more information should come from Ubisoft soon.
