Hey everyone! Welcome to the first Solar Switchup devlog!
I'll be releasing monthly (or bi-monthly if we don't have enough to show) devlogs to show off some of the progress made on the game! Of course, nothing shown is 100% final.
That being said, let's get into it with some old and outdated screenshots from older builds of the game!

This first screenshot is of the title screen. The Clone Blaze sprite is planned to be replaced as it's the outdated design.
Here's a screenshot of the office! This one's definitely subject to change, but for now I'm happy with it. The Clone Blaze and Clone Cream posters will probably be updated as the designs are outdated.
Lastly, here's a screenshot of the map, cameras, and outdated Clone Blaze in the outdated Rabbits' Den camera! This is completely scrapped by the way, the camera is being completely redone and Clone Blaze is in her outdated design here once again.

Now, let's get into some of the new stuff. First off...
Here is Clone Blaze's new design! This one took a lot of work to get right, but it's here.
But that's not all...
Clone Silver's updated design is here too! These two have very unique mechanics that use their abilities to the fullest, and I cannot wait for you guys to see how the game plays out.

Next, I want to mention how this fangame is planned to be structured.
I want to release each "game" in this little subseries that's been brewing as a chapter-by-chapter series, similar to that of Deltarune. Each chapter would represent one game, as Chapter 2 would be FNaS 2. This way, I can keep all of the games together in one place and keep the experience more linear!

Lastly, I want to announce that the game is in a woozy state of development. We actually started the development of this all the way back in May of 2020 (isn't that crazy?)
The current rendition of Solar Switchup has been in development since June of 2022, with very very slow progress. HOWEVER, things are starting to look up. I'm restarting with coding because, to be completely honest, I had no idea what I was doing when coding the old builds and it's actually really difficult for me to read my old year-old nonsensical code.
That being said, expect more updates next month! We'll most likely be include 1 or 2 character designs from not only this game, but hypothetical future games as well, so look forward to that!
That's all. This was the second time I had to type this out because the Game Jolt client app thingy decided to force-update in the middle of it and didn't save anything I typed. I'm never using that garbage app again lol.
Also had to repost because I forgot to make the game page public on the first, and because the old FNaS community was deleted lol
