Proto:Minecraft: Story Mode: Season Two/Unfinished 204 Build

This is a sub-page of Proto:Minecraft: Story Mode: Season Two.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

On September 13th, 2017, a pre-release build of Episode 4 was pushed into the public Episode 4 PC branch. This build predates the launch date by 1 month and 25 days, and the final build date by 1 month and 17 days. The circumstances of this build being pushed are unknown. The episode itself is quite rough, with no music having been composed yet, the build also has every asset made for MCSM S2 outside of Episode 5's assets, uncovering many cut ideas and characters. The debug menu is necessary to complete the episode due to softlocks, but there are still quite a few unused cutscenes in this build

Sub-Pages

Season 1 Leftovers What's PAMA doing here?

Unused Characters

Tripwire

Tripwire is supposedly Stella's equivalent to Radar. She also has a prison outfit, implying she got much further along in development than other characters.

Regular Outfit	Prison Outfit

Sonar

Aside from being planned as a love interest for Radar, not much is known about Sonar, but her model was later as a base for modelling Binta.

Prison Witch

A prison form of a Witch likely intended for Episode 3.

Regular Arms	Arms Folded

Unused Textures

skM1_stellaMenuTest.d3dtx

An in-editor screenshot of a very early version of Jack and Nurm's Adventure Emporium. Many differences to the final version can be seen, such as much more bookshelves being placed around, and various player heads textured to be various objects. The image also shows shelves in a form that's never seen in the game.

obj_scaleCharacterSteveO.d3dtx

A texture for a Steve figure that was used in various pieces of concept art as scale reference, this is noticeably higher in resolution compared to other characters, as the original 128x128 texture appears to have been baked into a very different UV map.

obj_matteWonderlandSpire.d3dtx

A matte for the Wonderland spire, this does not exist in Episode 2's archives.

obj_matteRivalTownA.d3dtx

A matte for Champion City, a slightly different matte is used throughout the season, but it's split into 3 textures and is overall much brighter.

obj_BGTempleHubMatteA.d3dtx

To do: Supposedly, this was never actually supposed to be used in Episode 4, and was supposed to be seen in Beacontown's Outskirts map, but no source to this claim has been found yet.

A matte for the Order Temple, the player falls towards the entrance in both this build and the final version's cutscenes, so this goes unused.

Changed Textures

obj_matteFredTown.d3dtx

This matte appears to be an in-viewport screenshot, hence the lack of proper lighting.

Early (obj_matteFredTown.d3dtx)	Final (obj_matteUnderneathCliffsViewOfFredTown.d3dtx)

obj_matteXaraTownCliffs.d3dtx

Same case as the previous matte, but much more can be seen in the final version.
