Remember those early screenshots where Matthew had a green shirt and darker hair?

Turns out that was just a lighting effect, which is still used by an earlier version of the Lookout Cabin map; any object model in here will have this effect applied to them!
Edit: Though, now that I think about it, wasn't his hair more red like Jenna's at some point? That may not have been a lighting effect.
Later edit: Found some old E3 screenshots from long ago:

So his hair colour did change, but it also looks like his clothes either got slightly lighter or that cave also had a lighting effect of some kind.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot to update this at some point.

The Matty in that bottom screenshot is still present in the game's files, along with a whole slew of other variants.
... Is it me, or does it almost look like he's T-posing in the original screenshot?
