Hey all! Just wanted to provide a dev log for this month to showcase everything new and updates for the game itself here.

1) STORY DIRECTION

i'll explain these better in the discord.

• Amount of encounters reduced for a larger focus on overworld

• Flowey will have more of an impact on the story in routes outside of No Mercy

• Route variability reduced to make the game actually possible to create

• Sans' outfit change idea/concept has been scrapped and cut down to three distinctive designs, one for each route.

2) THE GODOT SWITCH

• Long story short, we switched to GoDot as construct 2 would have been practically impossible to create a full length game on.

• While yes this tossed out all previous game progress it was better for the project long term

• Big thanks to our coders for being awesome (especially Emerald!!

in the first draft of this post i yapped a lot about the game but im so tired im not writing allat ! so instead let me just show a lot of stuff we're proud of:
