Hey! We haven't had any updates for a few months. And as you can see from the title, I'm announcing a HIATUS.

I'll clarify a few things right away:

• I WILL NOT ABANDON THIS PROJECT.

Undertale was a huge part of my childhood.

I have a deep attachment to the game's story and the fandom, so it's incredibly important to me that I finish this project.

I'd be betraying my inner child if I didn't finish it.

• THE PRODUCTION OF THIS FANGAME WILL NOT LAST 7 YEARS.

I'm really trying not to make the same mistakes as the implicit development mess THAT FANGAME had. And I'll do my best to achieve that.

• WHY THE HIATUS?

The entire development of this demo was a mess.

How do you do something right if you haven't even put in the effort to learn how to do it? It's like trying to run when you don't even know how to walk yet.

I don't know how to manage a team YET. I don't have the confidence to set deadlines, I don't know anything about music, much less about programming, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO WRITE IN ENGLISH WITHOUT GOOGLE TRANSLATOR. I only know a little about art and animation.

One of the ways I thought of to how avoid the huge delay THAT FANGAME had was: PAY EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROJECT.

Sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? After all, who isn't encouraged when offered money and a deadline?

But obviously, it's not that simple.

Especially for someone who still depends on their parents for a living who doesn't have much money to spare.

With my current knowledge and budget, I CAN'T PROGRESS THIS PROJECT AT THE MOMENT.

I still need knowledge and money, and I’ve got a whole life I’m still figuring out how to manage.

How did I think I could manage a project if I don't even know how to manage my own life properly? Stupid.

I think that sums it up pretty well.

• HOW LONG WILL THE HIATUS LAST?

Honestly, I don't know exactly. People close to me and my own therapist know that I didn't come with a good sense of time or space in my schedule, so I can't really give an exact date at the moment.

But even so, I don't think it will last more than 3 years.

I promise to do at least annual updates.

You can follow me (THE DIRECTOR AND CREATOR) on my other social medias HERE.

I plan to be more active there (especially on Twitter and Insta), and I post art and plan to post animations there too!

You will see Sunny soon.
