Part 1: Behind the screen

It's been such a long time since I last did this, and I hope you didn't build up too many expectations. I apologize to everyone who had to put up with me throwing coal to the fire and expecting everyone else to do the same.

Fell Leader's Underfell was how I kept my fanatic fever of Undertale going, how I challenged myself to keep going and improve because otherwise, nothing would hold me back from sitting in my chair and rotting without contributing much.

I'm just an average guy with a laptop who is good at spriting and likes to write fantasy. I wanted to prove that I can achieve things by just working with that, when the 3 years I've had this place up don't even begin to count as experience.

Part 2: Credits and final thanks

So yeah, the project was doomed from the start and I'm very sorry that I led you on. But I'm also grateful, because I would've given up much earlier had it not been for:

-MegaTemmie, who always dreamed of competing with indie developers, which I took as an opportunity to make this.

-Soup Taels, the first guy I opened up about this project, who cheered me on despite everything.

-Prittxus Zone, a fantastic and talented programmer who went on to make a wonderful 13-song library expecting no profit in return.

-Animelici, the programmer that despite all odds and everyone pulling him down because of his past, saw hope in me and wanted to help bring this game to life.

-Jason, leader of Colossus who welcomed me to his team while helping me out with my own ideas.

-Metal, leader of Small Throne Games and an absolute chill chad who always had good things to say to me.

And to Luxandre for being an inspiration, and to Nevereoff for his writing advice, and to HelyHoodiedCactus for his sprite animations, and certainly to all 500 of you who gave this project a thumbs up without hesitation. You guys are the best.

Part 3: The last of Fell?

The reason I gave up is because I kept running forward without seeing how far away I was, and when school and small projects piled on I gave up. I thought I could balance my real life with this, but I was not ready. This was on mid 2020.

What happened later? I started learning for real in a school programming and game design class. I've finished platformers and puzzle games for school using Gamemaker 8.1, and I still got 3 school years to go in which my options will widen. I'm starting from the ground up to gather time, funds and effort to make smaller but more honest projects. I'll make a comeback, just you wait.

Part 4: Underfell's funeral, and the final poll

The last chapter of this story is up to you guys: I want to offer you things I CAN accomplish and give it to you when the time is right. I have several options for you and need to know what you feel like you deserve and desire.

Option 1: A fake trailer, using the music and sprites that were finished, throw in a short trailer of how the game could have looked like when finished. I know how to edit videos, I can pull this off with the proper tools.

Option 2: A final artwork featuring everything that can be packed in from the game. The new original characters, the crazy new designs for the old ones, etcetera.

Option 3: A series of battles made in Unitale, CreateYourFrisk or CreateYourKris simulating what the boss fights would've been like. This might require finding peple who do know how those engines work, but even if that's the case it's possible.

Option 4: A short sprite animation gif featuring all the main characters and bosses.

Option 5: Surprise me in the comments. You can choose multiple options as well.

You have 96 hours to vote. Can't wait to see what the outcome is.

This journey is a click away from being at its end, and once it finishes and you hear from me again, I'll be a changed man. 2021 is my year, I can feel it. Thanks for everything

-Fell, but not for long.
