Today it's time to celebrate perhaps one of the most important birthdays of all - Undertale: New Hope's Birthday!

Yes, you heard right - Undertale: New Hope is one year old! What started out as an attempt to complete the Susi storyline for Undertale: Bits&Pieces, our mod has slowly grown into something more, with its own plot and characters, one of which you'll see today, so stay tuned!

We also weren't afraid to get on the rails of another great fan game - Undertale: Yellow - and do a deep integration of its storyline into the plot of our mod. All this led to the fact that after rebranding, the direct sequel to B&P - Undertale: Bits&Pieces+ turned into its spiritual successor, standing on its own feet - Undertale: New Hope.

It's time to summarize the year.

So, on January 21, 2024 the channel "Undertale Bits and Pieces Russifier" announces the beginning of development of Undertale BnP+, on February 25 of the same year was released our first dev-log, which has collected to date a record 38000 views! On March 2 the first composition of the mod was released, on May 27 the mod got an official TikTok account, on September 3 the BnP+ project chose another leader, on September 14 we opened our own Discord server, on September 26 BnP+ died (or rather was rebranded) and from its ashes Undertale: New Hope appeared!On November 11, a team page was created on Game Jolt, on November 12, one of the main characters of the DLC branch was presented, and on December 3, New Hope got its own SoundCloud....

Alas, there was also bad news. On October 20, the Undertale: New Hope build was leaked, and on December 14, an attempt to cancel our project was made (the posts have now been deleted).

The first year of development of Undertale: New Hope was a bit of a trial run. We spent a considerable amount of time just gaining experience and assessing our capabilities before we started any serious work. Yes, at one point we encountered difficulties and had to abandon all our progress in order to move to a more stable base in the form of B&P 4.2.4. Nevertheless, we are proud to announce that we have currently developed or are in the process of developing such global mechanics as:

- multi-save;

- updated frameworks;

- achievements;

- collectibles;

- camera;

- combat system update;

- sound system update;

- daylight saving time;

- crafting;

- new interface;

- post-processing shaders;

- numerous customizations;

- DLC content

And much more!

The main priority in development is given to the version for Windows PCs, but we also do not forget about the owners of Android devices, while testing new features on mobile devices. We also have ambitious plans to port the mod to other operating systems, such as Linux, iOS and some consoles, but the work in this direction is still in its infancy.

We have been very active in developing our social media and interacting with the foreign community. Thanks to this we were able to gain:

- almost 2,000 subscribers in our Telegram channel (not including the audience that came with the Russification);

- more than 3,500 subscribers on YouTube;

- more than 1,000 subscribers in Tik-Tok;

- almost 800 subscribers on Discord.

In addition, we made two productive alliances - with Pure Dreams Team and Traitor Team.

Thank you, dear subscribers, for staying with us and supporting us for better and for worse! Without your support, the development of the mod would be impossible! We will do our best to make Undertale: New Hope see the light of day!

Happy birthday to New Hope! And happy birthday to you!
