Beta DanganRonpa 1 proof of concep Trial Footage 

test trial with early sprites

kirigiri skinny legend

Damn, if that's how Kyoko would've actually looked like , Yasuhiro thinking she was a ghost would have been kinda justifiable.

poor kirigiri, she is starving

Seeing sayaka in the court room is kinda weird

Everyone: kyoko is so skiiiny... Me: kiyotaka in black is so 😍

Wow, this never before scene footage for the test trial is pretty interesting with the early sprites.

TAKA'S OUTFIT * screams * hE DO BE VIBIN IN THAT BLACK

SPOILERS: The fact that Junko is gone and not Sayaka shows how early of a concept this is, I'm sure the plot twist for the last trial is still there but then they decided they could construct a less suspicious red herring in the 6th trial by using Sayaka instead in the 1st and having Junko die right before to be less suspicious.

kirigiri has 54 kg so her being so thin makes sense lol

I don't know whether to believe it or not but Leon's sprites are beautiful.

For anyone curious about the music, Class Trial Dawn is "Cubitos de Hileo" by Ken Ishii/Funk D'void and Climax Reasoning is "Future Is What We Are" by Ken Ishii. Was very surprised to hear it used!

I was really hoping they'd make Distrust an actual game for the 10th anniversary (actual game as in being intact and built off of what was in the demo aka very dark, mature, bloody, Trust/Distrust system, multiple endings/multiple paths, same art style) I'm still hoping that they do it someday. The original Distrust was supposed to have so many different options with the Trust/Distrust system, where you essentially chose who to partner up with for investigations, resulting in other potential characters dying instead of the order in the full Danganronpa game. (Both executions and murders)

Sayaka: Im here now, Junko died first so...Thanks Leon for killing her and not me!

0:05 They shouldve kept this it looks so cool

Are we not gonna talk about how beautiful the music is in this footage😩

Kyoko look so weird lol

I know kyoko needs some food but Taka is also a goth

So Leon killed her cause she caught him with a broken vase? I probably read the recap wrong tho

Man, I never know this. Seeing the one that got killed is Junko (not Mukuro in disguise) is such hope-inducing surprise

I love how the sprites look here, although I like how in the actual game the characters have more noticeable height differences

Taka with black uniform 😳😳

Someone give Kirigiri a sandwich or something

God that beta ost sounds so funky holy shit

I really like the "participant roulette" at the beginning of the trial. I wish they would have kept it, since it would pair well with the casino theming of the voting time.

Almost 3 years later, still no beta OST released

fun fact kirigiri was originally supposed to be the Mastermind behind the game and not junko

i'm guessing this was early to mid 2010, anyways kinda glad that we're finding a bunch of stuff about dangan's beta that isn't about distrust

It's so weird seeing Sayaka in a trail 👁️👄👁️

Ok, when the UI pops up with the slot machine animation that was pretty slick.

I want that full version of that class trial music.

Looks eerie asf lmfao

I remember some years ago I saw some pics of this Climax Interference around tumblr, twitter, etc, I was curious to this day about it but never found anything detailed about it, super cool to see this!! And that music that plays on Climax Interference is very cool too!

1:31 - Doesn't Room 3-4 being accessable imply that all of the floors were unlocked from the start?

For people that's still watching this video, here's information to stop confusion. * Mukuro was originally the first victim, not the real Junko. Junko being the mastermind was already decided at this point in development, as the the game files that retains most of the assets from this prototype still exists, including early character art of Junko. * Leon is the blackened according to the dialogue and that idea was carried over from DISTRUST, likely because they didn't want to waste his execution FMV. (Which in the final game it was only modified slightly when compared to the DISTRUST version.) * This footage uses early music of "Dawn" and "Turbulent". * Monokuma would have gotten his own seat near the students than having his own chair away from them. This would have benefited the game as the final build makes it that the seat is empty, which makes it obvious that there's a another student. * The panels seen for Climax Reasoning are still in the game files and thus can be seen on TCRF.

Man.. I hope we get leaks of these OST's of the early trial. Honestly, the music really sets the atmosphere a lot better than the final one imo. Only time will tell I guess..

Giant Monokuma is a demon and i don't like it

Beta Kirigiri really said 🎋⌛️...

I wish they would release the music, it sounds cool.

literally everyone: so you think I’m S K I N N Y

AAA SEEING SAYAKA ALIVE IN THE BETA IS JUST SO FILLED WITH CONTENTMENT LIKE U WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE SAYAKA ALIVE AAA

here's a little cheap translation: Monokuma: *explains how class trials work Monokuma: Well then, let's get started! Makoto: Is there a culprit in this ...? Ishinaru: All right, close your eyes! And the criminal should raise his hand! Owada: are you stupid? Leon: Tsukasa ... The criminal is supposed to be Maizono, right? She was a close friend of the victim ... Sayaka: Hey, wait a minute! Not me! Kyouko: Rather than identifying the criminal ... First, identify the time of the crime. Makoto: The key to determining the time of the crime is ... After all, the "fragment of the vase" that was on the scene. *Scrum debate starts Leon: *says something for 0,01 seconds Makoto: … Kuwata Kun, are you? I used the dustpan to carry the vase pieces ... Leon: Hey! Don't become drunk! Did I use dustpan? What is the basis! * Climax starts

Am I the only one who thinks that the music is amazing?

I'm honestly just happy sayaka gets to be in a trial-

SKINNY LEGENDS

I need to know the music they used before class trial dawn....it's so unique

personally i just wish we had access to the early version of class trial dawn edition, it sounds awesome.

Sayakaaaaa 😍

Very surreal to see the beta of this. I'm curious how different the story was at this point in development.

Everyone has such a way with words

I hope Spike can leak these early sprites.

So basically Junko was the Victim in this Version

Honestly I think the beta style looks better than the current

Why didn’t they in the include the music from this prototype in the final game? It sounds pretty nice.

BOI WHY TF SAYAKA THERE

DAMN I NEED THAT CLASS TRIAL DAWN OST OF THIS

hina's concept art looks closer to the sprite in this early build than the sprite on the actual game

everyone else: leaning to a side Makoto: 🧍‍♂️

Leon probably killed Junko in beta (or mukuro they may have made Junko the mastermind again) I can tell because Leon got mad before the closing argument, and the culprit throws something.

Why is noone talking about the bgm in the beginning, it sounds SO amazing!!!!

I think this was the prototype of Danganronpa Distrust but was never released due to its gruesome elements. I looked up information about this and found it.

The artstyle change is wow-

Is it me i like both the beta and the original soundtrack

Kirigiri was the first to die in the first dangaronpa beta and it was call distrust

My mate got me into this game I been playing them non stop baught all them

Man, I love the sprites of Kyoko and Aoi here so much. Does anyone know if they're available anywhere? And Leon's other sprites also look cool.

Looking at them in the older artstyle is interesting though.

bruh why is this uploaded on my birthday

kiyotaka looks like he would be the mastermind

I love you for this. 🥺

Ngl this looks cool Oh look it's normally starts with Junko dead and the killer being from either sayaka or leon

THE MUSIIICC IS GOLDDD

They should've kept the early soundtrack!

These are they’re faces on the verdict spinner!

I Like How Sayaka Got To Survive Longer In This Version And Distrust She Was So Interesting

we boutta have a class trial if Ms. Kirigiri-chan gon stay like that

Kirigiri's beta outfit is really cool!

Sayaka is alive. YES!!!

Sayaka in a class trial looks so weird

0:05 That spinning animation is sick af. They should’ve kept that in the final game :(. Also I need that beta ost so bad

Everyone talking about how skinny Kyoko is but can we just talk about how Monokuma is barely the size of Aoi. Makes me want to see Chihiro and Monokuma next to each other

I'd like to hear more of the music

Does anyone know where to find the full soundtrack in this video? (I named them on what I believe them to fit). 0:04 POC Class Trial (Dawn Edition) 0:59 POC Class Trial Turbulent Edition 1:16 POC Climax Reasoning

That beta dawn theme is so good

Fun fact This isn’t the original beta there was another beta called Distrust

WAIT TAKA AND MONDO LOOK LIKE A MATCHING COUPLE-

Imagine having Sayaka in the class trial to

More of this. I NEED MOAR

skinny giri someone feed our girl

I shall call this Skinnygiri

As cool as black looks on Taka It doesn’t fit at all White has a symbolism of purity which fits taka’s talent a lot more than black which one of the symbolisms is destruction.

Does the music for the beta Trial Opening still exist anywhere?

HOLY SENPAI EVERYTHING LOOKS DIFFERENT

All of them Look like they lost a bit of weight, aside from Hifumi. Worst cases : Kyouko and Sakura. Holy shit, I think they threw some of their Organs out.

Everyone looks exactly the same

why is monokuma so big wtf 😭😭😭😭😭

Chihiro being the skinniest of them all

You said its beta.. Makoto : No! That's wrong!

I wanna find all of Leon’s sprites of this version 😅

Why is sayaka alive?
