DUSTTALE: Brotherly LOVE - Development Log #3


Hi all, Sharky here, just here to provide what we've done over the past two months.

First of all, thanks for 500 followers, this take is getting more and more popular and I think that's pretty epic !

Originally, this devlog was gonna come out on halloween, but it didn't, so enjoy this art by EvaN instead.

Anyways, let's get into the devlog (Cool text by Apple and NickTheBrick):

  • All songs from ace7889 have been removed from the soundtrack. The Soundtrack for early Ruins was lacking and can be improved.

  • Ruins writing complete, with Snowdin being worked on and Hotland concepts having fully been hashed out.

  • Sans and Papyrus' gameplay will be more similar to the M&L RPG series rather than outright UT gameplay again. Their gamemode has also been renamed to "Skeletal Saga.", while the human's mode is "DUSTTALE". A completed save file is required to play.

  • Frisk's expression will now change depending which route you are in. (Sprite by Miyu)

  • Chara will be more like a ghost tagalong rather than an outright player at some sections. It's better for the game not to look completely overcrowded. (Art by Neon)

    Small note: Ghost buddy Chara is just a coincidence with Undertale Nihlism. They function a lot more mechanically different. The art portraying them/sprites are completely coincidental. I'd rather not bastardise Chara.

  • Ruins Encounter for Neutral/Pacifist rewritten so Toriel can now be spared in a Pacifist route. (Who do I credit here I wrote this...?)

  • Ruins Encounter background update (Sans please get the fuck out of the way) || Sans sprite by Iconic and a lot of others (the sprite went thru a lot of ppl sob), and the background is by Mint3.

  • Muffet now has a more significant part of the story. (Sprite by Miyu)

  • Ruins tileset overhauled. (Sprites shown here by Applefied and Miyu.)

  • "LIVE FROM MTT NEWS! MURDER MYSTERY! SOLVING CRIMES WITH A KILLER ROBOT?!" (Sprites by Miyu)

    image.png
  • Snowdin tilleset updated as well as the Sans and Papyrus sprites. (Sans and Papyrus are just there for showcase.) || Sprites by Miyu.

  • Papyrus battle sprite updated! (Sprite by Palm, Styph, and punksaturn)

  • A lot moreeee coding stuff has been done, but we can't show it............................. (Coded by Emerald)

  • Burning Memory trailer version may finally get progress?! (PLEASE go like this comment on Burning Memory on Soundcloud)

  • Sans meets another him?! (Art by redmetal)

  • To celebrate Burning Memory hitting 200K views across different social medias (With over 5K likes in total) I've decided to show off some battle progress! Ignore the HP being set to 40, that's going to be changed for "Stamina" instead. (Coded by runed, battle background by Mint3) No, we're not showing the Toriel Sprite this early.

  • Snowdin Encounter is now Neutral and No Mercy ONLY, it will not happen in Pacifist. Songs are also currently being updated for the routes, except for Pacifist's waterfall encounter and those recently posted.

  • New Ruins Sans art! (by OB)

  • Neutral reference by PunkSaturn!

  • Wanted to provide a small story explanation here; Sans in the ruins wears TWO shirts, the ribcage shirt and his main shirt. This is to hide the fact that under his main shirt, he has the manly bandana tied around his waist in case he takes damage in a hit. This will prevent him from dying with low stats. (Sans only has 5 health here, so unless he wore this armour, a slash from even the toy knife could be fatal:

    (1 base DF + 7 from Manly bandana = 8 DF)

    (Art obviously by our talented punksaturn)

Additional Dev team NOTES:

Applefied: "It's Christmas time!!"

SharkyLeo: "I don't brotherly LOVE drama but I'm getting thru it."

Robin: "Sharky made a Fatal Mistake putting me here but we'll get through it through Trial and Error"

NickTheBrick: "Hey there i'm brick, idk how i'm on this team, but i hope i contribute in something"

Stress: "I'm gooning"

What, he didn't say that?

...And that's all for now! I'm pretty sure there's a few things I'm missing, such as the new Intro for the skeletal saga section of the game, but that will be showcased at a later date!
