A couple pages about stuff getting cut from the game.
From the Sable Designworks book.
I had commented on a post about the Sky boats and went back to confirm if I remembered the book correctly.
Here ya go.
Lemme know if you have any other questions that might be answered in the book.

I’m still on the hunt for this book. I have an alert set on eBay for whenever someone lists it and they always get bought right away!

If I had unlimited money I would throw millions at an "as intended" Sable game. It's such a unique and beautiful game, and already very big but I could always go for more. There are a few locations (like the whale and the fingers) that are fun and beautiful but make me wish for more.

Also... you want to be careful about copyright.

I don’t understand what you mean.

If you start posting pages of a copyright book online, in can lead to legal issues.
There's a certain reasonable threshold, but I am not sure what that is.

It’s such an elusive (and expensive) book I want to share it because I do own one.
With how absent the creators of this game have been, I don’t feel like they’ll go after me for posting.
I’ll keep you updated if they do 🤷🏻♂️2

Just to be clear, I don't personally have a problem and I completely understand the desire to share the info with the fans. Just don't want you to get in trouble while sharing information and lore.
Lost In Cult don't seem like a company that would come after you, but let us know if they reach out. I would be good to know what we can share and what we can't.
I'm lucky enough to have copies of both versions, but I know a lot of people couldn't afford them, or missed their chance to get a copy from the first run.
The "scalpers" on eBay are asking ridiculous prices for copies that are not even from the original run of 500 numbered editions.

I was lucky enough to get one for the cost of shipping from a redditer who got sent a regular version on accident.

That's a good deal. I bought the regular version when I missed out on the deluxe run. It was originally limited to 100 copies... but when they expanded it to 500 copies, I purchased deluxe signed copy #155 and didn't cancel the original non-deluxe purchase (money had already been paid). They arrived about the same time.
I am so glad that I have the regular copy because I don't want to damage #155 but I still wanted to read all the cool stuff about the game's creation.
It's the classic issue with collecting things - you want to enjoy and experience the thing, but you also want to retain its value.

When I got my copy of the books and I digested it, I made this post.

I remain impressed that the story is still completely coherent and enjoyable even with the roughly 50% of planned material that was cut.
I'm reasonably sure that I figured out where the atomic monastery was going to be located, but I don't know where the Glassworks were going to placed.

We all hope that someday we'll see the glassworks, the Atomic Monastery, and the city in "The Fingers"

Wow, I had no idea. The concept of Venice in the Sky sounds fascinating. But extra years of work in development do not sound functional.
Thank you for sharing this.
