OUR DISCORD - https://discord.gg/cBmkrFYqFJ

Howdy! First real progress devlog in a while, huh? Well, its a fairly hefty one. With lots of progress being made, and with a potential demo on the horizon, we've been doing pretty well getting everything ready for you all.

We'll break the devlog up into small sections regarding different things. Let's get the big stuff out of the way first.

GAME PROGRESS

To start with, let's show off the current look of the first phase of the battle!

This screenshot shows off both the look of the battle itself (with minor clipping to the botton of the screen) and one of the mechanics that will be featured in some of the attacks.

The Pyrope waviness mechanic seemed too fitting not to include.......so........its being.....included. Yeah.
Any time Sans uses a fire-based attack, the screen will gain this wavy effect!

And that's not all! I'd also like to show off the sprites for both Phase 1 and 2!

Some parts may be dis-included but it shows off the general design. Phase 3 I've decided to completely keep under wraps until the project is completed or I feel generous enough to share it.

At the moment we are growing pretty close to having the demo fully in the works. All we need to do is to animate a few of the sprite assets used, and some extra stuff I'll probably think of last minute.
Please be patient. We're trying our very best and taking our time to make this game as good as we can!

EXTRA CONTENT/NEWS

Time to discuss bonus stuff. Three announcements here I want to make public, as all of it's pretty cool stuff.

Lore Comic

There will be a comic series detailing Sans's massacre of the Underground. This will show off all the events leading up to the game and potentially after the game, though that's very far off.

The comic is currently in its planning phase story-wise. But it's not all the bonus content we're gonna bring.

Friday Night Funkin' Mod

I'm a big FNF guy. Sorry. But an FNF-styled Scarlet Flare mod will be released sometime after the launch of the full game. It will follow a similar structure to the game's battle. Additional mechanics may be included.

The current state of this mod is concept phase and nothing is final. Its a concept for now but its highly likely it'll be made in the future.

Fanart Contest!

The last thing I wanted to announce today is a fanart contest! From the date this post is posted (20th of July, 2021) up to the 31st of August, we will be compiling up fanart of any Scarlet Flare fanart. This can be Rekindled, the old designs or your own interpretations!

These are to be posted in the Scarlet Flare discord, which will have a dedicated channel for the competition in the server.

The top 10 winners will have their fanart featured in the credits of the final game. Digital art, pixel art AND traditional art are all accepted, just make sure the photo/scan of the traditional art is good enough :))

Be sure to check out all these amazing artists! If they request, they can on this post and I'll put links to their socials so you can check out their other work. We probably won't be featuring much fanart in the coming weeks due to the competition announced, but after that we'll be showcasing fanart in this format again.

That's all for today. We're making some good progress. Hopefully we'll have another devlog up in the coming weeks.
