This is a sub-page of Proto:MultiVersus.

The December 9th, 2021 build of the game is the first build ever uploaded to Steam servers, and the earliest we know about, it was presumably used as the Pitch to Warner Brothers, and is super early.

Subpages#

LionWatch#

  • Two maps for a LionWatch stage; Respectively named Map01_LionWatch, and Lionwatch_Test02.

Unused Textures#

Fix It Felix Jr. Arcade Cabinet#

  • For whatever reason, in the VFX folder for the game, exists a lone texture of a Fix It Felix Jr. arcade cabinet. No mesh remains as there's no model in the files for the textures.

Mobile Leftovers#

  • Leftovers from a Mobile Test of the game.

Concept Art/Reference Art#

  • A bunch of concept and reference art are left in this build's files. These include:

Concept Art

Interestingly, Bugs' concept art more closely resembles a mix between his appearances in The Looney Tunes Show and Space Jam: A New Legacy, rather than the Looney Tunes Cartoons design the final game bestowed him with.

Character Gifts#

Rick#

  • More info pointing towards Rick being in the game, is not one, but two sauce packet icons (One of which is directly based on the official McDonald's packaging)!

Unused Character Skins#

Steven#

  • In Steven's folder for his UI Elements, exists an early version of him wearing his varsity jacket + blue shirt from Steven Universe: The Movie. Why this skin was cut is unknown, but it never returned in a future update.
  • Removing the texture's alpha channel interestingly reveals some stuff in its relation; Stuff like a screenshot from the movie itself, a partial turnaround sheet + rough sketches, two YouTube thumbnails featuring scenes from the first episode (Gem Glow), and what appears to be another reference image. Unfortunately it appears the image doesn't expand with the alpha channel removed, so the outer parts are cut off.

Unused Models#

Mobile Test Leftovers#

  • Two models of Shaggy and Wonder Woman, each without animations, named "MobileTestShaggy" and "MobileTestWW" respectively

Steven Universe (Jacket)#

  • A very, very, early version of Steven's movie outfit, with the jacket itself having weird UVs.
