oh and just to add to it, if i recall it was like a slight updated or alternate version of the animation lab with an extra screen or two then the lizzard dude at the end you could interact with, and idk if it was abelius again that did that one or if kuja or some one else did it and had it on some ones mega who has snice removed it.
I did more digging and went through the discord and found a handful of files here and there from back when EventSpawn was still the coder. One of the files that I found looks like a game file but there is no exe to run it and it looks like just loose game files, Abel you might remember what it is and make sense of it. On a side not I also found what appears to be the earliest prototype of the game ever from December 2016. I also found various loose files that were uploaded directly to discord, and I'll try to make a Mega of those for people to peruse later.I don't remember, tbh. The first tech demo I did on March 2017 was even before I took charge of coding. If I did something more in the next months, I don't know. It's possible, but I can't find anything like that in my archives. And clicking on one guy and immediately getting to business... that doesn't look like my style, lol.
I don't think Kuja did that, but it's possible someone ripped the assets and recreated the whole thing adding that in the process. Unlikely again, because I use visual scripting instead of plain scripts.
I've searched my PC and my Mega for that one, but didn't find anything, sorry.
My final thoughts on this after skimming thousands of discord chat messages from December 2016 to May 2017, are that whatever version that those screenshots came from it was a VERY early version of the Animations Lab, before Abel took over, and was not seemingly released publicly. I saw some messages between I think Abel and Kuja talking about possible rewards for higher tier Patreons and potentially giving them access to the Animations Lab file repository, though from the chat messages I saw there was not a resolution to this. The only thing I know for certain at this point is that it was real and was made by the team sometime between December 2016 and May 2017.

Hey Abel, I also found various dead google drive links from you in the discord to files called "LoK Anim Lab b012" and "LoK Anim Lab b013" etc. do you remember what those were?
