Devlog N2 - 2/28/2025


Welcome back, everyone.


Updates

So, after some talk and feedback between our team members, we've decided to expand one of the game's sections. As for this specific area, let's just say… you can only fight by evasion.

Initially the section was cut short and rushed because the game's focus was more geared towards simply fighting Sans. But thanks to the marvelous concept of sharing and absorbing ideas, we got even more stuff coming for you (horror game) lovers.

We also created a new iteration for Sans' intro in his ultimate finale against you! There's no media to show unfortunately besides…

Initially, the intro was planned to be a simple monologue to fight scene, but we wanted to add something extra to give it that dramatic edge. To clue in to how exactly this plays out, consider Signalis as an inspiration for it.

We've also been simply working on the already completed sections for the game to be in tip top shape for playing! An emphasis on smaller tracks have also been placed... expect the OST to have a lot of those ambience sections.


Momentum

Turns out after time passes from a big release like Underevent, project development slows down considerably. Think about a block moving from a push until friction inevitably forces it to stop. This game is not immune to this, whether it be from real life business or simply a lack of motivation for a specific time

(this is a passion project after all.)

It's worth sharing this because we want to be 100% transparent with the rate of progression. Saying this out loud is also good prevention from getting pressured into pushing out too much media at once to appease anticipating souls. Too much of that has happened with fangames…

This doesn't mean the game stagnated, however! Do know that progress is always being made.


Fun stuff

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Just a Pico sprite

Family band complete!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.
