DEVLOG!


First off, this'll be organized into small sections and such, so it's easier to read. Secondly, I'm probably gonna have a whole team working on this, so it'll be a while before it releases.

MECHANICS!

I've been thinking, "How can we make this game more original?" Well, maybe a few new mechanics will do the trick!

First off, we have the adrenaline mechanic. This is a mech in which, when low on HP, will boost your stats. Your soul will be a bit faster and your attacks deal more damage.

Secondly, we have deflections! Sans can deflect your attacks back at you, dealing a fraction of damage. He'll even have a cool animation! (Hopefully.)

MUSIC!

As already shared, the music won't be super Undertale-ish, more like an actual song with lyrics. I wanted this to be a VERY different vibe from the original game, since I love taking creative liberties.

SPRITES / MENU!

I've decided I'm probably not gonna make the sprites, since I suck at animations, poses, etc. However, I will contribute somewhat to the sprite, even if that means just doing some expressions or something like that.

The UI will be a bit different, actually being swapped instead of the colors being swapped. It'll feel more like US & UT then a DT game.

STORY DIRECTION!

The story is the same as any old DT game, you kill, his brother kills, he kills, etc. However, Sans isn't focused on killing you, he's focused on either making attacks super annoying and hard to remember, (Like in IDUTSHANE) nearly unfair, (Not as unfair as ULB Renewed) or being completely boring and repetitive.

The overall mood I'm hoping to accomplish is dark & difficult, which means there's not gonna be a sappy monologue about friendship or losing his brother, he's getting straight to the point. He barely speaks, so don't worry about pausing trying to read it.

EXTRAS:

Sans' design is a mix of Kassam, Nickolas, & Dillywolf's DT.

Papyrus is only shown once, and only briefly.

There is a bit of blood at the end... (Sans beats the ever living crap out of you XD)

That's about it! Thanks for reading!

Next up

Some scrapped lines that won’t make the cut.

I may or may not have music done for this game...

* death comes to those who’s time is up.

* luckily for both us, that time is soon.

The game’s coming along nicely.

I made my own snack called

“Le fuck way”

I made it while my mom was screwing.

Best snack I’ve made.

Evil creatures that want MY soul.

This game is getting a bit of a reimagining...
