Howdy! so the poll went pretty well, y'all do not want to see the cast before the demo releases so besides maybe some minor enemies and of course the stuff I've already shown off, we will not be showing anymore characters off until the demo.

now when is this demo? well it's hard to say we do not have a full system yet but I'm looking in to getting everything working however my coding knowledge isn't the highest, I still know how to code but learning something like Gamemaker is gonna take a little bit, not to mention I do work so making a full engine like this will be a challenge alone, once thing get rolling I'm sure a demo won't be far behind... at least coding wise music and sprites will still be an issue as while I can make sprites I'm really not good at music

So I am asking anyone with these talents to please contact me about joining or helping in some way

we need music, right now we do have some great musicians and I'm sure with time we can get all the songs we need but there's always room for more, especially right now. if you have any experience making songs especially if it can fit within the undertale/deltarune style we'd love to have you on the team

we need sprites, If you have seen melody and ancient artifact you should know I do in fact know how to make sprites but it can take me a bit sometimes especially with weird angles and I'm not the best at tiling quiet yet, so if you like making battle sprites, overworld sprites, or tiles matching the UT/DR style then we'd love to have you

we need coders! this one is important as this is how a game works, I'm not exactly sure how this is all gonna work but we're making it in Gamemaker 2 I already have a very basic overworld working and I've been trying to make text, menus, and other such things work, but give how much I know about coding and my past experience with it these systems will most likely be glitchy or unoptimized, of course even alone i'd like to fix glitches or make it better before release but there is only so much I can do alone, so calling on help from people who know a little bit more than me to help make these systems better and hey hopefully start working on the battle system soon

once I am able to get enough progress I shall start showing off dev logs and showing parts of the game and new mechanics but for the time being the stuff I have isn't super amazing

but because I feel bad leaving y'all empty handed let me show off the current state of things, note that this is extremely early and things WILL change, this is just how much I've got done with overworld support

my discord is squeakpeaks

you can contact me there if you wanna help
