Game
[Cancelled] Undertale: The Otherground
3 years ago

[ IMPORTANT UPDATE ] There's been a big change recently in terms of UTTO's development. Here's what you need to know.

Just remember: It's not over 'till it's over.


Let's get right into the important stuff, shall we?

A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP

First of all, as you may have noticed by now, poody_blue and Ethan are no longer the directors of the project, as they have stepped down as directors for personal reasons. Please respect their decision, and be sure to support their other projects, alright?

As of the 24th of April this year, I, cubicSimulation, have become the new director of Undertale: The Otherground.

A team of developers is being formed, comprised of new and old devs alike. If we have a say in this, this project is not going to die any time soon.

We're going to put our heart and soul into this game, and do our best to ensure its legacy lives on.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

As mentioned previously, we have multiple new devs on the team, all extremely talented at what they do. With that in mind, we're currently working on finally bringing a playable demo to the table! It'll intoduce a new battle system, inspired by Deltarune but very different from what you might normally expect from an Undertale fangame.

Alongside that, we're making more progress on writing and spriting. Nothing too big to report there, but it's important we keep you all updated.

SHOUT-OUTS

This section is a little more personal, but I feel it's important all the same.

Poody ( @poody_blue ) & Ethan ( @Game8Me3 ) - Without these two, UTTO wouldn't even exist. They're truly wonderful people, with a lot of passion for their work.

FMS ( @FmsDraws | Tumblr ) - The creator of Omega Timeline: Poppy's Story, and a big supporter of OTHERTALES as a whole. A funny guy with some incredible art skills.

LeopardBunny ( @LeopardBunnyDev ) - Creator of SAVE OUR SOULS: An Undertale Story, another high-quality UT fanwork and part of OTHERTALES. It's not out yet either, but be sure to support Leopard and their work!

Blaize ( @BlaizeMayes1 ) and George ( @DarthGeorge43 ) - Creators of Undertale: Bits 'n Pieces, a mod that completely overhauls the original game with a whole lot of heart. They're really cool, and personally inspired me a ton.

Sarah "Ryno" ( @RynoGG ) - Creator of DELTATRAVELER, an interesting and high-quality game that spawned from a simple meme. A supportive person who cares a lot about her work.

...and a whole lot more, too! Too many to name, though, so I'll leave the list here.

CONCLUSION

So, what do you all think? I know it's been a while since the last big devlog. There's more I could talk about, but it isn't quite time yet. Nevertheless, we want to thank all of you for your continued support for UTTO after this long, and we surely wouldn't be here without you all. We hope you'll enjoy what we have to show in times to come, but for now we need to get back to work.

If you want to stop by and hang out, feel free to join the Othertales Discord! The devs and fans are quite active, and we love to hang out with the community! See you there, okay?

And to Poody and Ethan, who made this all possible: I promise that we'll make you proud.

We'll see you all next time there's a big announcement, and until then, stay determined, everyone!

It's been five years; half a decade.

It's late at night as I'm writing this, but I'm still in disbelief that Undertale turned 5 today.

I wished we could've released UTTO today as a gift to Undertale & its fans, but we'll keep working hard until then. :')

forget the professionalism, it's 4am and i almost fell out my chair when i saw this thank u all so much for 2k we're so close to the proof demo it's exciting just a few more things to finish up and we're ready to drop i hope it'll be worth the wait :^)

It's been a long, long time. After many years of sheer development hell, the game is being canceled- but, if you don't mind, please read the attached article. Thank you all for the memories and experiences, you all really changed my life.

MICROLOG: Oops! I forgot to show off the map we devs made, drawn by LukeWarmGuy! This is Mongale Island, AKA what the title is referring to as the "Otherground". This is where the events of the game will unfold. Hope you like it, and huge thanks to Luke!

EVENTLOG: Welcome, Burke Day 2021!

Happy birthday, Sunny & Renee Burke- and happy 4th anniversary to the team! We've come a long way since the reboot about 2 years ago. :^)

In celebration of today, we have a small event going on! Read below for more!

MICROLOG: Just barely missed our shot. Don't worry, though! Everything except programming is ready to go, aside from a few lines in writing that need fixing and an optional track we wanna add. :^)

We should be able to drop super early in July, I promise!

MICROLOG: A feature we've promised for a while and can finally confirm it coming: ambient creatures! As Louis and friends travel Mongale, there'll be small creatures that will hop, crawl, and fly around in each and every environment. Here's some examples!

MICROLOG: Here's a special treat for 2k followers! How about a quick peek at our intro? We don't have it programmed in yet, and we only have a few slides finished thanks to ArtemArt as well as myself.

Hope you like them! :^) Avast the Eimmet Sea, 2XXX...

DEVLOG: Happy late birthday, Undertale! We're going to show off a little something you might have already seen in our Discord, but for those who haven't, we hope you're excited. :^) Take a look below!
