Told ya we’d do one of these.

Today is Green Sans's fourth birthday...
Happy birthday, Green Sans!
That doesn't mean that this project has been in development for four years, only that the character has existed for four. But, amazingly, this character has stuck around for this long, so thank you all for being fans for all this time! Alright. Let's start the devlog!
WHERE HAVE WE BEEN?
It’s certainly been a while, hasn’t it? I feel like I say that every time I poke my head out, haha.
When this project first got rebooted I mentioned I’d reserve the game page for larger, more descriptive posts like these. Obviously, by looking at the grand total of four posts on this page (not counting this one), I intend to keep it that way, so I guess I should make this one count.
Progress is going good so far! We’ve spent most of our efforts writing the complete story, implementing all the game’s features, establishing a visual identity, and general goofing around. We’re currently working on fleshing out the first area of the game, The Enchanted Forest.

During this project’s early days the main conflict basically boiled down to breaking and entering Green Sans’s house, and then duking it out with him. While that still is GOING to happen, I’d rather have you all experience what kind of things are in store for this new world we’ve created before throwing you into Green Sans infested waters. All the while you’ll be accompanied by your strange caretaker, Charles! (alternatively known as the blue buffoon since i suck at naming things and sometimes characters or places will have placeholder names for WAY too long)
Charles is a character that has existed for a few years now, even being featured in our old UNDEREVENT trailer, but has never quite been given a spotlight before.
It’s funny, he was originally just meant to be Green Sans’s cranky neighbor you’d see every so often and since then he’s been rapidly promoted to one of the main characters. He was originally supposed to have three to four scenes when he was first conceptualized!
But enough about that, what’s his deal?
I designed him to be the antithesis to Green Sans, an EVIL Green Sans if you will! (which means he’s actually a normal person)
Someone who gets the short end of the stick of Green Sans’s constant antics, all the while trying his best to make his way through this zany world full of kooky characters. It was originally meant to just be played off for jokes, poking fun at the absurdity of the world around him and how mundane he is comparatively, but over time I came to realize how he’s a perfect way to introduce the world to you in a concise manner. It’s safe to say you’ll be seeing a lot more of him in the future!
So we’ve worked on creating new characters and locations, but how about the gameplay?
To put it simply, It’s Undertale. But not really?
We’re taking the bullet-hell aspect of Undertale’s combat and combining it with more traditional RPG gameplay. This means you’ll have multiple ways of dealing damage to your opponents, a wide variety of spells to use, and help from the friends you make along the way to assist you in battle! (although they won't be full on party members, more on that at a later date)
"So you’re just removing ACTING? The CORE component of Undertale’s combat? Does this mean there won’t be an EVIL ROUTE???
Yeah. And no, there won’t be.
I understand if that’s confusing to you; it wasn’t MY first decision either. We actually DID try to add routes to the game, but not only are multiple routes not feasible within the scope of the project, but the ideas simply weren’t enough to warrant their existence. Shockingly enough, the NEUTRAL routes were more compelling than the full-on “mr evil stabs everyone” route that was intended to have different boss encounters and a unique arc for a certain character. (although thats not to say that this game wont have multiple endings, just not in the way you'd expect)
To put it simply, don’t expect this project to follow all of Undertale’s rules. It’s not trying to do everything Undertale did, but it still cares about it deeply. I wouldn’t be making this game if Undertale wasn’t a huge part of my life for nearly a decade. (i found it in 2016, i wasnt a day one fan so you can call me a fraud now) But I have a lot I want to try with this project, and a lot of it does go against the standards both Undertale and it’s community have set over the years. Is that a good thing? Probably. I think it’s cool, but I’ll be real when I say that this probably won’t be for everyone. And that’s okay! I just hope you like this project and see it for what it is, and not try to get upset over what it isn’t.
WHAT’S COMING?
Okay, enough about TALKING about the game. WHERE IS IT?
For long time fans that were around before the project got rebooted, I have publicly stated that Green Sans was not going to have a demo. It was just gonna be one release and that would be it.
That was when the project was a Sans fight parody. Dude, if I still planned to drop this all when it was done, you genuinely would only hear me go through my fucking Joker arc.
So does that mean there’s gonna be a release soon? EHHHHHHHHHHHH?? Maybe?
I’ll be honest, I have no clue when the demo will be released. For the longest time I didn’t even know when the demo was going to END. (for a very short amount of time Green Sans himself was going to be the CLIFFHANGER to end the demo and now i know thats a stupid idea so please be nice to me okay im just trying my best)
However I can safely say that the demo will be quite sizable. Come on, you just saw me mention that Green Sans was going to be a cliffhanger. I made an entire chunk of this detailing his blue counterpart and said that he was meant to help you PREPARE for Green Sans. If the demo doesn’t have enough content Green Sans will LITERALLY not be in it. So it’s gonna take a bit more than you think. Sorry. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN!
…Hopefully.
Also, because I can't fit this anywhere else in the devlog, the GREEN SANS OST is now available on the AWESOME GAMES Youtube Channel! It's mainly been used for uploading Dusttrust OST and the Sans Game OST, but Green Sans is finally here! (his fatass is so late after having his ugly mug be the channel icon for half a year)
You can also find the OST on Soundcloud! We've brought it out of retirement and will continue to release new tracks on it alongside the Youtube uploads.
WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
This last section is going to detail some of the OTHER stuff that we’ve been working on either on the side or in collaboration with other teams. We’re doing this for a few reasons.
REASON ONE: its fun lol
REASON TWO: its nice to let yall know we didnt die of some disease
So let’s tackle what is probably the biggest one I can share right now.
dont be surprised most of y’all definitely have a roblox account
Green Sans is a part of the hit Roblox game Undertale: Last Corridor! This has been something we’ve been working on for a WHILE (actual years because this game takes forever to update) and are excited to finally show it off! This depiction of Green Sans is accurate (but not EXACT) to how he’ll be portrayed in the fangame, so this acts as a little teaser as to what could come! (again it isnt exactly like how it’ll be in the game)
i’m writing this while the update is still preparing for release so if its not out when this devlog drops im going to be pissed
(Comic Panel WIP by Marshie)
COMICS!
You guys still read comics, right? I read comics. I’m a dumb nerd and play Dungeons and Dragons. I have piles of comics lined up in my college dorm. I REALLY hope you guys read comics.
We ARE working on short Green Sans comics that give insight to what the day-to-day life of the iconic character would look like! They’re still being worked on, but when they’re finished they’ll drop on my Youtube channel. (which is probably a good idea to subscribe to even though i barely upload)
They’ll be canon too, if you care about that.

Come on, I'm a co-owner for this project. Let me have this.
DUSTTRUST X is preparing for its OWN demo that should be releasing!!!!!!!!!!! Soon!!!!!!!! If you liked what you saw and went “this is really cool but i wished it sucked” then be sure to follow DUSTTRUST X since it’s made by a lot of the same developers! It's coded by my good friend Ari (or delphine or ariel idk she has like 5 names) who DOESN’T code for Green Sans so don't worry about us juggling development of two different projects and handling it poorly! We are juggling development of two different projects and handling it FINE ENOUGH.
also i’d like to do another thing for april fools but that’s a discussion for later
say hi to strollin stu
CLOSURE
How’s that for the first major devlog? Was it good? Was it passible? Is it obvious I’m writing this while pulling an all-nighter even though I told my girlfriend I'd fix my sleep schedule? (sorry kris ill get ‘em next time)
(Concept Art by KRIS)
I hope to get a lot done in 2026 both with this project and just in my personal life in general. I REALLY want to make this work and am putting in whatever effort you think i’m putting times NINE. Unfortunately these things take a lot of time, so it might be a bit before you hear from me again. In a perfect world I’d do one of these like every month, but I have my own responsibilities and some things are just more important than this project that better deserve my time. (like that breakfast i mentioned earlier)
But I hope that this gave you an idea of the funny little thoughts that escaped from my brain and are now on your screen, and I hope you thought they were AT LEAST kinda cool.

Again, follow me on Youtube for any updates on those comics but also follow me on my Twitter and my own Gamejolt account as well. I don’t intend on using this game page for anything besides big announcements, so if you’re some weirdo who exclusively uses Gamejolt, it’s a good idea to follow ME personally on top of the game so you can get more updates. But if you’re not a weirdo and don’t live on Gamejolt exclusively, my Twitter is where you’ll hear from me the most. Not just about Green Sans, but I also bought a drawing tablet for myself for Christmas and have been going through my Clip Studio training arc.
Okay, that should be it. And if you’ve been following my stuff for a while, you should know that I'm bad at writing outros. And if you don’t know that, well now you
