Greetings.

It is I, @StressTown , the dustshift guy, and also kind of the dusttale brotherly love guy, too.

I'm here to give a VERY good report of how the game has been going, along with -

• Music Updates.

• Story Progress

  And Coding Updates!

I'd also like to thank you all for getting the soundcloud page to NEARLY 500 follows! We'll do something cool when we hit it, promise! I'm glad people actually like this project, and I hope we don't dissapoint!

Now, let's get into this.

-- CODING --

All of this has been done by the extremely talented @NishimotoNiki

• An updated GAME OVER system, featuring much more bonus dialogue. (Which you'll have to see ingame...)

  

• ENTIRELY overhauled overworld.

  

• Our mascot, JIMBLO, being the main star of the show in the menu screen, missing the quiet.

  

• Updated the fight, the sprite may or may not be tweaked in the future.

  

...And more! To be shown in the future...MWHAHAHAHAHA!

--- WRITING ---

Now, for writing...

The writing department (ME.) has been working quite hard in order to properly fix some small errors in the dialogue, and redoing ALL of the ruins segment, making it much more unique and not just the exact same fucking thing from UNDERTALE.

There are less encounters as well, as we don't want to fight the same character like... 30 times. Unless you do, if that's the case, go play no more deals or something, I play it too, it's fun, sometimes.

The enviroment feels more alive, each of your actions have an impact on SOMETHING, you may not know it in the moment, but it will!
Asriel also doesn't die like a fucking animal in snowdin, he has a much more active presence later-on in the story.

And...more!
Which I won't share.

Fuck you.

--- MUSIC ---

We're focusing on making hotland's soundtrack while coding is going down, along with remaking one or two songs.

One of which being...

DELIRIOUS MORALES.

(Amazing thumbnail by @redmetal btw)

There's more songs and thumbnails in the works, so I'll keep them a little secret from you lot, mwahahaha...

--- SPRITEWORK ---

The sprites we have currently will be kept under-wraps for a good amount of time until the demo is near completetion.
