Beta General

[Anonymous No.1865912]

Retro games have some of the most interesting development cycles. So, wanna discuss beta stuff? Concept art allowed.

I've read a lot of articles on OOT's development but this one is new to me. I know most of the info but it's interesting still.

Proto OOT Zelda is mad pretty

I LOVE beta stuff. I think it's super interesting.

I'd kill to see more early Banjo Kazooie or Project Dream stuff.

Project Dream didn't look like a good game

[Anonymous No.1866170]

>>1866168
Well, it did get cancelled after all.
Just like twelve tales didn't look too great either but I still find the many elements that got recycled for bfd to be very fascinating.

>>1866170
Well i mean
Didn't exactly get cancelled
Got recycled into an incredibly successful game

[Dustin No.1866176]

>>1866168
I dunno, did they really show that much besides the one screen?

I'd also love to see more of their original plans for Banjo Kazooie.

[Anonymous No.1866192]

>>1866176
I wonder if there's a rom floating around somewhere of the demo of the snes version of project dream


Too many "of"s in that sentence

So much cooler than how the move turned out in the finished game.

>the iOS/Droid version has Hidden Palace with an actually good and fun boss, but they used the music of beta version (Mystical Cave 2P) instead the mysterious unfitting awesome music from Sonic 2 sound test

It's just a snowflake instead of a big ice-covered sword. The trajectory is also completely different, the final's snowflake goes out from the ice spirit's hand in a shallow, downward arc, but the beta's sword would come falling in from the top of the screen at a very sharp angle.

I heard that the Lost Woods was meant to a dungeon itself, and you fought Gohma in it.

[Anonymous No.1866480]

>>1866476
lost woods show up in lttp though, and it's the same concept as the n64 one

I'm only just starting to get into collecting old games.

Not a whole lot or anything TOO rare (Except the DKC games, yuk yuk yuk), but still!

Twelve Tales looked as good if not better than Bad Fur Day

Apparently it was way too powerful as it was. So much so that I guess they decided to completely change the way it worked rather than simply nerf its properties. Donovan in general was much stronger in the location tests, he got hit pretty heavily with the nerf bat before the finished game was released.

Nintendo almost made Cammy wear pants for the SNES port of Super SF2.

[Anonymous No.1867109]

>>1866895
I meant, gameplay wise. They had the engine down but no levels, you were supposed to have access to all of the context sensitive objects from a wheel menu, etc. They literally didn't know what to do with it.

[Anonymous No.1867140]

>>1867082
They look pretty good. Wish there was a code for this or something.

I'm pretty sure I watched them all too, they had items from the final like the slingshot along with stuff like the shovel which didn't even work.

Pencils tend to have more of a detailed feel over cleaned-up 'official art' but that Zelda definitely feels older than a late teenager. I'd give that an early-mid 20s age.

>bow assigned to the B button
>forest medallion as an item

I love seeing beta OOT

>>1866480

Yeah, but it's possible they wanted to try something different but settled on doing that same thing as LTTP. It's also possible that the boss room originally looked different

Also, from what I gather, the child link model wasn't created until later on

>WarCraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans

Both games looked like complete shit, honestly. I can't believe everyone got mad when they were cancelled.
