The Prototype version has a red roof (Lime-green in the Cosmo Prototype) instead of a blue one and has eight less vertices than the Alpha version, at 1002. Both are slightly higher-poly than the final, but have less vertices. The edges of the roof were given a bit of depth in the final version.

The Prototype version lacks the grass on top. The Alpha Update 5 iteration has just about twice the amount of polygons and vertices compared to the initial Alpha version due to the addition of rims along the edges of the grass, and has slightly less vertices than the final version: 66 vs 87.

Bars were added to the windows of the building for Alpha Update 5, alongside the roof tiling more and the platform in front of the doorway having its UVs tidied up. The Alpha Update 5 version is a little lower-poly than the Beta version, but slightly higher-poly than the final's. The Alpha Update 5 version lacks any LODs, and the Beta has one more LOD than the final version. All LODs in the Beta version are lower-poly than the final's.

Differences between the Prototype and Alpha versions are currently unknown. The Alpha version is a little bit lower-poly than the Beta version, and lacks any LODs. The final version added a lot of extra detail on the inside of the building, and the base of the pillars were given some extra detail as well. The left corner of the building was also made slanted.

The Prototype version has wooden ramps that were removed from the design and made into a different scaffolding model in later builds. The Alpha version is higher-poly than the final version, but lower-poly than the Beta version. The wooden board sticking out is intact in the Prototype and Alpha versions, but is partially destroyed by the Beta version. The wooden fence was removed from the model design in the final.

The Prototype version is very simple compared to the later versions, and is made entirely out of stone instead of having a wooden floor on top. The Alpha version is a bit lower-poly than the Beta and final versions due to the absence of the small hole on one of the walls, and the Beta version has slightly less vertices than the final: 71 vs 79. The Alpha version is yet another asset with an import time after the compile time of the build, which means it might've been changed by the patch that was released for the initial release of the Alpha.

The Prototype version has a red roof instead of a blue one, and is slightly higher-poly than the Alpha version. Between the two Alpha versions is perhaps one of the biggest changes to any one building in Mafia Town across development. The house that had meat sitting in it (which had more of a use in the Goboiano Prototype and not so much of a use for every build afterwards) was converted into a pool house starting in Alpha Update 5. Alpha Update 5 is the only Alpha build to have this building this way, and this design would stick around for the Beta builds and final game. A rim was added to the doorways in the Beta version, and windows were added to the other side of the building in the final.
| Prototype (May 22 2013) | Alpha (February 14 2014) | Alpha Update 5 (February 22 2014) | Beta (August 17 2014) | Final (October 24 2016) |

The roof colors on the Prototype version are red and yellow, while all future versions only use blue. The structure lacks metal bars underneath it and there is a sideways entrance to the center of the building that was removed in the Alpha builds. Between the two Alpha builds, the UVs on the floor were fixed, but the Alpha Update 5 version doesn't have any textures applied to the bars by default. Whoops. The version in Alpha Update 5 is slightly higher-poly than the one in the initial Alpha release. The Alpha Update 5 version is a bit higher-poly than the Beta version, but lacks LODs. Both early versions are lower-poly than the final.

The Prototype version has a teal roof, while future versions have the roof blue. The floor inside the cafe is part of the building model too, while later versions keep it separate. The roof slightly hangs over the front of the building starting in the Alpha version. The Alpha version is a bit lower-poly than the final.

The Prototype version lacks the gold rim and brown brick base first seen in the Alpha version. The windows in the Prototype version also do not have glass; they are completely open. The dome was made much smoother for the Beta builds and final game. The Alpha version lacks any LODs in the initial release, but gained a couple in Alpha Update 5. Both LODs are much stronger than the final's three, but the final's are much cleaner.

The church bell tower was split into multiple meshes starting in the Alpha builds. The Alpha version has a few more vertices than the Beta version: 36 vs 22. Both early versions are a bit lower-poly than the final version. The Beta version is the only version with an LOD.
Lighthouse

The lighthouse was also originally all one model, but the Alpha builds would again split this building up into multiple pieces. The Prototype version also contains the door that the lighthouse has in prerelease versions that was removed for the final game, although the door is less detailed than its model is in the Alpha and Beta builds.
Shops

The Prototype version is slightly lower-poly than the Alpha version, lacks grass on its roof, and has worse UVs for the floor inside the building. A wood fence was added to the design of the building, the right side of the structure was made to use orange bricks, and the interior's textures completely changed. The hole for the juice bar was changed from a simple square to a half-square with a smooth arc. The juice bar was also made longer for the final version.

The Prototype version has the small greenhouse as part of the building model instead of being its own separate mesh. Grass was added to the roofs in the Alpha version. Windows were added to the front of the red building in the final, and the front two corners of the red building had pillars added to them. The upper part of the green building was made into a greenhouse.
Pedestal

A couple platforms on the Prototype version were removed for the Alpha builds, and the front-most part of the building was extended downwards and outwards a fair bit. The Alpha version has less vertices than the final: 832 vs 1029. The UVs on the floors were made to tile more in the final.
Observatory
| Prototype (April 24 2013) | Alpha/Beta (January 20 2014) |

The observatory is one of the most noticeable differences when it comes to the buildings in Mafia Town in the Prototype builds. The building has a very simple design compared to its later incarnations, being a mostly smooth cylinder with a rounded top and a telescope poking out of it. The version in the Alpha and Beta builds would make all of the large stars on the sides be fully 3D-modeled stars, and the top piece was made into its own model with a completely different and far more detailed design. Much like the final version, however, it lacks a door.
Thor's Workshop

|
The Prototype and Alpha version is lower-poly than the Beta and Modding Tools versions, and lacks an animated screen above the door. The lightbulb and several windows are also not lit. The version in the Beta builds also added yellow and black hazard details along the bottom of the building. The Prototype version lacks any LODs, but the house gained some by the Alpha builds. The Alpha version has 3 LODs, while the Beta only has two. The most intensive LOD in the Alpha version is lower-poly than the most intensive in the Beta, but the Beta's LODs are much cleaner and overall look a lot better than the Alpha's. The Beta version is much higher poly than the Modding Tools version, likely due to the oval-shaped windows on the Beta version being much smoother than the Modding Tools version.

The central tower of Mafia Town was originally all one model, but was split into two in Alpha Update 5. The Alpha Update 5 version has less vertices than the final: 2457 vs 2764, and the UVs on the floor were edited to tile more.
Clock Tower
| Prerelease (April 30 2013) | Final (October 8 2016) |

In all prerelease builds of the game prior to the Speedrun builds, the clock tower in the market area of Mafia Town is a large, white tower that can be seen in some of the earliest footage of the game, although the version in the builds is not the exact same model. For the final game, this tower would be completely deleted and replaced with a much different, much more highly-detailed clock tower.

This is the top of the old clock tower model above. Dated February 8 2013.

This model was replaced in the final game with a similar model with a different name, but it still received a revision in the Beta builds. The Alpha version is slightly lower-poly than the Beta version, and the Prototype version is a bit higher-poly than the Beta version.

The Prototype and Alpha version is a bit higher-poly than the final due to a small tunnel of sorts existing in the gap between the walls in the middle of the model. The tunnel extends a bit under the top part of the building, while in the final version this section is completely removed. The UVs were also edited to tile a bit more to work with the new texture assigned to it in the Beta builds.
