So, idk if you've seen, but ever since the last update, I've been up to a lot.
For one, I've finished one game, made a demo to another, and just now, I've made a new page for a game with a yet to be released demo. Worst of all, that new page is an Undertale Fangame. It's called Underlame. So that begs the question, what's going on with THIS Undertale fangame? Sans The Game? sans THE silly game that's silly? Well, I hate to say it, but if it wasn't obvious from the lack of updates, I'm finally throwing in my hat and saying that sans the game is over... FOR NOW... Sorry to get all of your hopes up.
This isn't because it's too hard or too much work or anything. The game is actually REALLY close to being done. I'd say probably another month or two of actual work, and I could get it out. The thing is though, with a game like sans the game, there isn't a lot of satisfaction.
The game is comedic, which is fine for short term projects, but I don't want to work on a game for years just for it to be viewed as a joke. I tried to combat this feeling by slowly giving the game a more and more serious tone and moments as it goes on. Even since the first demo I was trying to do that, with the whole Undertale AU multiverse sans the toby tells you about. But the thing is, if you're playing this game, you don't want that. You don't want it to be serious. I do like what I've done so far, and the small moments of seriousness aren't game ruining. I actually like them all things considered, but I know if I focus on this game, and keep trying to make it my top priority, I'm just gonna keep adding more and more of these moments, and I just don't want to do that to you all.
So, for now, I'm putting a halt to sans the game, not that it's been moving much at all as of late. For the time being, I'm moving on to Underlame, my new Undertale fangame that I've been working on for a bit now. It's not as comedic, so it doesn't feel as unsatisfying. I've also put in actual effort with stuff like the art, or music. If any of you are interested, here's the link. The demo should be out soon, and I have to say, I am really proud of the game so far. I think It's my best one yet, which considering my catalog isn't saying much, but still.
I hate to be part of the "undertale fangame abandoned from lack of motivation" crowd, but I think it's safe to say that I've succumb to that curse. It's a shame, but what is there to do.
So, tl;dr, sans the game is on break for now, and maybe forever. If I officially abandon it, I'll drop the whole build I have so far here for you all to play and do what you want with. I have hopes of finishing it one day though, so have hope.
