My Street
Developer: Idol Minds Publisher: SCEA Platform: PlayStation 2 Released in US: March 9, 2003 Released in EU: Oct 31, 2003

My Street was revealed at E3 2002. The My Street demo was released as a standalone disc and is also featured on Official U.S. Playstation 2 Magazine Demo Disc 68/Kiosk Demo Disc 2.9 and Official U.K. PlayStation 2 Magazine Demo 39. The My Street (Dec 6, 2002 prototype) or My Street Review Code disc was an early prototype build made 3 months before the final retail release.

Demo vs. Proto vs. Final

There are a few small differences when it comes to the demo vs. the prototype vs. the final builds, mainly visual and a few texture changes.

Demo Builds

The standalone demo seems to be the earliest build released. It has the most notable differences, animals didn't exist, and some things were unfinished. You are able to play Marbles and Dodgeball. The NTSC Playstation Magazine/Kiosk Disc build is a build of the final game with story mode disabled and Volleyball being the only game available to play. The only difference from the final is that it uses the camera from the prototype build at the playground. The PAL Playstation Magazine build is the same. It is a version of the final build with story mode disabled, Marbles being the only game available, and it uses the normal camera at the playground. The demo referred to below will be the standalone demo disc build.

You are only able to talk to the NPC "Farm Boy" in the standalone demo build. He says some weird things to you.

Prototype

The prototype build uses a different voice actress for "your mom" in the game that never ended up making it into the final build. The game files from the prototype have unused full story mode voice lines using this voice actress, intending she was either to be the final voice or was just a placeholder. This also means that there is potentially a partially completed story mode in the prototype version since a lot of story mode audio files are on the disc, it is just not enabled. In customization, the voices are unable to be selected & you cannot visit "My House" on the map to change clothes in "Play" mode in the prototype.

Audio
	Unused intro to the story mode, intending there is potentially a partially completed story mode in this build which is inaccessible from the main menu.
	Another unused line that would have been in the beginning of the story mode.
	Used in this build for when you wander too far out of the neighborhood.
	Used in this build for when you try to enter the water without a mask and fins.
	Unused story line dialogue that would have told you how to start the first game.
	Unused story line dialogue warning for when you try to grab the mask & fins or gas can without permission.
	Unused "BEDTIME!!" dialogue for when it becomes night time in-game.

The prototype version includes a few different clothing items that ended up being cut from the final game.

• 

  RGB Afro

• 

  "'Jimmy Neutron'" style hair

• 

  Clown face paint

• 

  Unused shirt

Main Menu

Each build has different options available at the main menu, "ON-LINE" being renamed throughout. Only "PLAY" mode is available in the first two builds.

Demo	Proto	Final

The demo build features a standstill background fixed in a random spot around the map. A flying camera was added to the prototype and final build for the background. Nails were also added onto the interface to improve the look. The top of the menu is squeezed smaller, and the bottom is stretched longer to fit more options. The "My Street" logo and "Clubhouse" text are squeezed smaller to fit. "ON-LINE" from the demo was renamed to "ONLINE" for the prototype, and then "NETPLAY" in the final.

Visual Updates

Demo	Proto	Final

Demo	Proto	Final
			In the prototype, the garage laboratory had a pipe labeled C8H18 (symbol for octane) which was then removed.

Demo	Proto	Final

Demo	Proto	Final
			The demo build has hay bales. The rafters face in, & there is a red barn door on the top window, along with the above barn doors being open. The gate does not open in the prototype but you are able to walk through.

Demo	Proto	Final
			In the demo, the farm seems to be unfinished. There are no farm animals incorporated, and the pig feeds are on the outside of the chicken coop.

Demo	Proto	Final
			The RC shop in the demo build has a different logo, and the windows aren't glossy. There is also a stadium light in the back.

Demo	Proto	Final
			In the demo, the fence is closed yet you are able to clip through it. In the prototype, the gate is closed and you cannot get in. The camera is also different.

Demo	Proto	Final
			The tree root and tree were removed to clear the pathway visually for players.

Demo	Proto	Final
			The first two versions of the fire hydrant were different than the final. The prototype version seems to have lost its texture?

Intro Cutscene Differences

The intro cutscenes differ between the three builds. The demo build features a full colored logo in the corner while the prototype build features a transparent black & white logo in the corner. Some characters were placed in different spots or had different camera angles, which differs mainly in the demo version.
