Game
Undertale: Hard Mode ~ Wonderful Idea [Genocide Ending]
3 years ago

The current state of WI and it's huge stalemate


It's been 5-6 months, I'm aware, even though I was silent all this time I was still reading the comments, questions and server messages, so it's time to answer them all


What's up with project? Is it dead?

Not in the way you think about it, it didn't get cancelled and we don't see it being such in future. My original plans on summer were finishing the entire game before the beginning of September, but we didn't manage to make it in time, so in result I can say the progress in stalemated.

Why is the development going that slow?

The entire team goes through a tough moment, it gets harder to keep finding the will and motivation to work, that goes for me aswell. Not only that, but we are also lacking some important assets, so I can't really keep going. We maybe didn't work much at summer, but we were struggling with our personal issues a lot.

Any changes for a situation?

Everything is mostly the same, except we've talked together about it, and promised to ourselves to get up and finish the rest of the game eventually, not sure though when. We can't really promise anything, but at the very least we are getting some new ideas, and even dialogs I could start adding in a game!

Have you ever made something during summer?

I did make some progress, but I don't think I can show much. I went through all group messages, and I can conclude that I've:

  • Tried to make few placeholders for battle

  • Worked on some side content for game

  • Made HUGE optimization changes, spent a lot of time working on backend in general

  • Remade game credits entirety due to old ones not fitting my standarts

  • Finally added the Barrier room and its cutscene


That's pretty much it, I know that may be disappointing, but I feel it's better to let you all know, rather than keep being silent. I really want to thank everyone once again, for your patience and support, as that means a lot for me and the rest of team!!

🙏

Tl Dr;

We can't keep working on the game as fast as we used to because of motivation and life issues, the project for many of us went on a side plan due to that.


Also a small note, before asking on Discord, whether the game is released or not, is it cancelled or not,

Please, check game's actual page first
