This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Antonball Deluxe.
A few weeks before the game's release, a stream was held on Twitch revealing the game's online mode. The build in this footage is listed as Version 1006, and has a few minor differences.
Online Menu#
- The top header reads "Antonline", compared to the game's final "Online". Although a good pun, this was removed due to Antonline already being trademarked. A reference to this name can still be found in the final game, with the background being titled bg_antonline.
- The lobby screen wasn't formatted properly. One of the developers mentioned during the stream this needed some extra work.
Character Select#
- Players 3 and 4 are missing their tags, these exact tags go unused in the SAGE & Steam demos.
- There's no prompt for players to leave or rebind the controls.
- The character selection noise still uses the sound from the SAGE & Steam demos.
- Nina's portrait has some differences, having bigger pupils, a different hairstyle and a pointy thumb.
VS. Level Select#
- Beach Brawl has a different icon, with this screenshot being taken from the top left of the screen.
