Several minor details were changed from the early versions of SH1. I will be posting a few comparison shots.
The altar, as it would have looked in the beta version of the game.
The altar in the final version of the game. I’m guessing maybe this has to do with the “seal” not having any real meaning, so they probably wouldn’t actually have that above the altar. The God makes more sense there. Of course, it could also be that they thought it just looked cooler. Then again, the red thing is cloth, so maybe it actually covered the painting. Who knows?
Interesting.
And yes, it does look cooler.

I liked the ratty looking cloth a little bit better, since the painting:3 just sticks out too much. But It makes sense for it to be changed.

Probably to show some connection to the player, altar – last boss.
