Is work on UPPERTALE stopping?


Hi guys!

Last night I was thinking about where UPPERTALE was going.

It has a memory error due to my stupidity, I’m running out of ideas for it, and the game is pretty much going towards Gaster territory and doesn’t have anything to do with the surface at all.

I’ve remade the game 2 times already, with this currently being the third.
That should make it really obvious I’m struggling with this game.
And besides, would anyone really want to play the same game again?

UNDERTALE ended where it did because that was a good place to stop, there shouldn’t be anymore.

There is another fan-game called The Second Chance, however, which actually looks promising, and the story of it is the only thing I could see happen for a sequel to UNDERTALE, and not… whatever I was doing.

So what am I saying? What am I trying to tell you?

I might be cancelling UPPERTALE or atleast putting it aside for a while.

Don’t worry, though, I have another UNDERTALE fan-game idea which I am really excited to work on! It’s very nature is shrouded in darkness.

Please don’t be mad at me, this was a really hard choice to make…

And when I do announce my new fan-game, don’t rate it 1 just because you want UPPERTALE, I would be really disappointed.

I’m going to release the page when the game is about 50% done.
It should be a full-length game, which means it may take months to complete.

Thanks everyone, I sort of enjoyed working on UPPERTALE, but I was getting so stressed out by running out of ideas that I lost all determination to make it.

But I do have DETERMINATION for this new one, so stay tuned!
