Swap Characters
Swap Characters went through small UI changes.
| Pre-Release Swap Characters | Current Swap Characters |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- Instead of just names on characters, there was once planned to include head icons from characters that would've been detailed by players,
- Select button in current version was cut,
- Copy button in current version was replaced by Copy All,
- Copy Hair in Pre-Release version didn't existed yet,
- Pre-Release buttons didn't had their UI icons yet,
- There was once planned only 40 slots for characters, but in current version there's 90 which provided pages on Swap Characters,
- "Back-up" characters in Pre-Release version were called "Extra".
Differences
- Main menu in pre-release version uses an different Default Girl preset instead of the final version which indicates that somewhere in development, a different design was choosen before it was changed. However, the Default Boy preset in pre-release screenshot is not possible to see, meaning there's no atleast one screenshot of how it looked.
- Gacha section in pre-release looks finished, but in final version, "Power Strike x3" and "Fire ATK+" aren't presented in game which leads that they were cut lately.
- When Gacha Club was annouced firstly in 2019, the name was actually Gacha Life 2 but in early 2020, the name of game has been changed into Gacha Club. However in 2023, an actual Gacha Life 2 has been released.
