Hello everyone! Good ol' Gregsam here! Development has been going well! I recently put out some playtest material for friends, and the feedback was very positive! I didn't even need to fix any bugs this time! More than anything, I'm happy my code is stable! Here's some teasers!

The Swamp Siblings!

This quartet of questionable quislings have qualms with your quest! You'll encounter them in the second area of the game, the wet swamps of Mireburg, as they try to stop you from reaching Mettaton City!

This is Indrid!

This monster enjoys quiet evenings, warm candle-light, and snacking on cotton clothes! Don't let her blasé attitude fool you, she's just as capable as her three siblings!

This is Rocky!

This sweet serpent is always trying his best and works hard to support the rest of the family! What he may lack in viciousness, he more than makes up with eagerness!

Next is Jodag!

The eldest of the group, Jodag will stop at nothing to uphold Mettaton's law. His herculean strength, fiery breath, and short temper are a potent combo! Don't get in his way!

And finally, Talba!

This otherworldly seer is an enigma even to her own family. Possessed of strange powers even for a monster, Talba can make for a confounding opponent...if you even see her coming, that is.

I've been trying to keep original characters to a minimum on purpose, preferring to expand on established characters in this "what if" scenario. That said, I'm very proud of the Swamp Siblings and hope you enjoy them too!

By the way, the siblings share a theme for their designs. I wonder how many people will notice.

And now for that big announcement...

A playable demo is in the works!

Yup! Development has been going fairly smoothly now that my code has its kinks worked out, and I want to get something in your hands soon! The whole game is still very unfinished, but I want to put something out for people to enjoy (and give feedback on) before then. THUS, when it's ready, I will release the first area of the game for you to play! It will include the beginning of the game, through Snowdin, and up to the first boss fight!

But when will the demo be out?

It's hard for me to give you an exact time-frame. I've always been bad at gauging how much time something will take. But I can promise you that I'll work hard to make this happen as soon as I can! I'm excited and want to get this out to you!

I can tell you this though. It'll definitely be a while after Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 come out. I want to give people plenty of time to play the HECK out of Deltarune before I release anything...also, I'll be playing the heck out of Deltarune myself lol.

I think a reasonable time to expect the demo would be July. I feel nervous just saying that...

Anyway, that wraps up this dev update! Thanks for sticking with me so far! Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta get something to eat. I'm hungry.
