Well, look what we have here. The MONTHLY Update for Undertale Spearhead. That's right, no weekly. It's going to be combined with the Monthly Updates for two reasons:
Avoid post spam.
I played Terraria all week instead of working.
HEY 1.4.5 is really fun don't judge me!
please.
What Gone Done This Month?
Really creative title, thanks I know. Made it myself. Jokes aside, I got a bit done this month, however not as much as I'd like.
- Enemy Templates are made, and I still need to make the logic for WHAT attacks to use and then the enemies themselves. I'll also make an Enemy Template attack, so not only do I have a starting point but my enemy template will have an attack.
Cubert.
- I made a few songs, from entirely new ones to revamping old ones, including the second major area in the demo.
- This month, art wasn't done too much, but I made Squashy and revamped Sans to be a bit better and more accurate (YES THE FACE IS UNCHANGED FROM UNDERTALE)
New Characters
Since I was lazy and didn't make much progress this week, I'll tell you about what to expect for new characters!
I'm going for a style that does respect the original cast, but is able to be a little more standalone. That's why I've been looking at DnD races.
I can't say much, but I'll tell you about three characters and their race.
Mintaro - The new Captain of the Royal Guard. Minotaur
Soara - A highly respected member of the Revolution. Based off of a Kenku (really a Cardinal but Kenkus are Bird People)
Sever - A mercenary hired by Alphys to hunt you in Waterfall. Name might change also. Based off of Ghouls, specifically Darakhuls, intelligent Ghouls.
Mintaro and Soara are the most important characters that are new, however Sever isn't exactly a minor character. Just not as important.
Level Change???
Anyone very keen eyed may have seen that your level went from 11 to 8. What happened?
Not sure if I ever mentioned it, but you play as Frisk once again. I actually did a playthrough of Undertale a while back to get the result I wanted... and it turned out to LV11... which is a little too high. Just killing the bosses would give a high LV9... but I kinda want you to be at LV8, as it still reflects killing quite a bit without making the early game trivial.
It was hard how to go from LV9 to LV8, without not killing anyone, and I decided to look instead to an explanation... and I landed on time. This fangame takes a few years after the events of Undertale, and my explanation is that you simply lost EXP while on the surface.
I'll explain it much better in game... but here's the idea. LOVE is just the capacity to hurt. Flowey had 9999 has he fully lacked compassion, and was able to hurt anyone as easily as doing anything else, but once Flowey became Asriel, it's possible he slowly lost LOVE, as he gained compassion back. So what if Frisk, over the time of coming back to the surface and being shown compassion, lost some LOVE? It may be possible, just not over the time of the actual game. Long-term change isn't out of the question.
If you want to bring UTY into this, Clover gained a lot of LOVE when they got a desire to really hurt axis, so if we give Frisk time and lower their desire to hurt people... we could get them to lose some LOVE.
TLDR: Frisk lost LOVE over time and went from LV11 to 8. Though we know the real answer is because 11 is way too high to start.
Conclusion
I really enjoy doing these sort of newsletters. They help me reach more people, give me a bit of a schedule and help me stay as organized. It's also fun to drop some lore and stuff. Nothing major of course.

P.S. If anyone is interested, should I post my base I'm working on in Terraria to my profile? It's not much but still I think it's cool.
* Well... leaving that aside...
* I can bet big things are coming.
* Things worth coming back for.
* To this place.
* The Underground.
* You didn't let them go,
* You just let them go on. See the aftermath.
* Maybe I am beginning to understand you.
* Then again, what do I know?
