Howdy!
What better time for a devlog than the very end of June, eh?
Over the past few months, we've been slowly approaching the final areas of the demo. That isn't to say we're almost done, though! We still have a good chunk of content that's yet to be added, as well as a whole polishing and bug-squashing phase to attend to.
Because of that, our progress reports are going to be noticeably smaller, and generally less flashy with the amount of content we show off. We hope these will suffice until the demo's release!
New Music!
We posted this a month ago, but here's "Stage Fright," the new Mettacrit battle theme!
Up next is "Slick and Stylish," a short but sweet theme for the Greasers' overworld encounter!
And finally, "Ready To Rumble," the Greasers' battle theme!
(Fun fact: this theme was the result of a five-person collaboration. That's crazy!)
General Progress
Rather than separating this one into different sections, I wanted to condense all of the major stuff into one place for easy reading.
The City of Old: Artwork is, for the most part, done! All sections and building interiors have been finished and added into the game, and most NPCs have been sprited and written out. We may show some of these off as time goes forward!
Asgore's House: Most artwork is complete, and basic interactions have been implemented. Some minor script tweaks, including the lead-up to Asgore's fight, have been made. (We can't quite say much about it, but it's definitely no basement hallway!)
Side Quests: Some have been written out and given rewards, including: unique items, generic GOLD rewards, and secret goodies.
Shop System: We're nearing the completion of a shop interface similar to Undertale's, but with some slightly different visuals.
Journal: We've made slight adjustments to the Journal's base sprites, and are working on character doodles for the minibosses within the demo!
Extra Bits
Nothing way too important here, but we've showcased some joke-y content on our Twitter, including:
Some interesting concept art that may or may not be canon!

A short video of a weird bug that happened while developing a character interaction in The City of Old!
Before the end of today's devlog, I want to give a quick shout-out!
A user named philiplol has recently made two fully playable versions of battles from the Inverted Fate comic! These serve as a faithful adaptation of the canon comic, with additional content, dialogue, and secrets provided by the AU creator, Dorked!
They include:
The Captain Alphys fight, which features party member Papyrus! A whole bunch of unique spells are at your disposal. (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/401662436/)
The Mettaton SPIRAL fight, which introduces a brand new SOUL mode! (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/399208765/)
What's especially impressive is that both of these battles were each made within a week! Definitely go and give these a play--a lot of effort went into them, and it shows!
Well, that's all we'd like to show off for now.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!
