Proto:Midtown Madness/Build 1427

This is a sub-page of Proto:Midtown Madness.

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.

Build 1427 of Midtown Madness was dropped off on the Midtown Club Discord server on August 25th 2024, and it's the earliest build known to exist of this game. It's also a debug build, like the one found in the Sneak Preview Beta. Exciting!

To do: There are a lot more interesting textures leftover from various phases of development that need to be documented.
