↑ "That was a little extra added by one of the level programmers (Matt Johnston^[sic]). There's a rock jutting out of the pond in the village and the idea was that if you stood there for a moment or two the game would start to spawn ducks swimming across the pond that you could shoot with a ranged weapon. I don't recall exactly why it didn't make the final cut. Most likely there were just too many other things to finish and debug. Shame - I love little easter eggs like this!" — Chris Sorrell, MediEvil developers - Q&A; on MediEvil Boards. Published May 7, 2013.
