The development progress of the following games, in my opinion, was the most interesting and unusual in January and February!

(please read the article )


= Undertale Unforgiven by Team Unoriginal =

The development of this project has reached the level where its developers were able to talk about the progress made in their first serious devlog. From its content, we learned that the demo of the game will include two key battles with Flowey and Sans (only the first phase), which will not represent everything that we are usually used to seeing in various Dusttale takes. Different endings of these battles will be presented.

The project's programmers are actively working on improving the engine and the initial stages of coding the gameplay have already been completed. Several new tracks are planned for publication, while existing ones may be redone. You can find the full playlist on the game's page. At the same time, the plot is still not fully formed: the story has no obvious endings, the concepts of the characters are not fully thought out, there are controversial points. Overall, the development progress is going well.

= UNDERSWAP: ECHOED by team “The Breakfast Bunch” =

The "Gardens" location of this game is divided into floors. At the time of recent devlogs, the first floor is almost completely finished, while the second floor still requires significant improvements (including the addition of NPCs and new battles). Constant testing of the gameplay has revealed many bugs that have been successfully fixed. A lot of cool tracks have been written. A rather important innovation is the unusual mechanics, which will be discussed later.

In fact, the description of the progress made by the development team recently quite vividly illustrates this fragment from one of the random battles:

It looks incredibly cool, right?

= Undertale: Brave Faith by Team Dark Legend =

The developers of this sequel never cease to amaze us with new content and bold decisions. The progress of the last two months has been focused primarily on developing game mechanics, sprites, and music. For example, there is an animated Von's combat sprite, one of the main characters of the game, and a sprite of Dess' face for the textbox.

The plot, which takes place in the Ruins location, has been fully worked out, and some of the dialogues for Snowdin have been written. Significant progress has been made in coding: Ethan can now walk, run and perform the Murder dance. Oh, and the fights. It's crazy:

In the February devlog, the developers showed the structure of one of the rooms and the sprites of Dess and Noel.

Wait, have you seen this yet?!

Then go and see:

= Undertale Broken Soul by bL1SsGD and team =

The design of the game's page and the content of the description about it have been redesigned. This means that the developers have formed the concept of the project and that further significant disclosure awaits us. For example, Sky's concept art is presented: I want to note that the design is quite unique.

In terms of programming, developers are gradually importing assets to Game Maker Studio 2, so coding has slowed down a lot. It's completely different in spriting: many rooms, NPCs, and interface elements have been worked out. Here is an example:

Please note how the interiors we know are presented in muted colors and with new decor, which is very well designed. Plot writing is also in full swing, primarily on creating character concepts and events along a Neutral Path.

= Undertale: Test of Fears by banane-lucie and team =

For the past two months, the development team has been focused on writing the plot and creating concepts for various characters. One of the devlogs introduces new characters - Sorin, who will accompany Ember on their journey, and Scrunky, about whom there is little to say. All animations and many sprites have been worked out. In the February log, the developers showed tilesets of several rooms. Here is one of them:

A unique interface design has also been developed. I would like to note that in terms of art and spriting, this project has a special design philosophy, and this is felt in everything that the developers show. Here, take a look:

= Some other projects... =

= Undertale: TwistedFate by 'I eat crayons 4 breakfast' and team =

A lot of progress has been made in writing the plot and the main dialogues. The concepts of many locations and characters have not yet been worked out, but the team decided to show a sprite of the main character, Alissa, and several tiles. In the future, it is planned to write several music tracks and further work on sprites and the plot of the game.

= Undertale: No Mercy by JefftheCowfish72 and team =

Several sprites have been redesigned and some concepts of different rooms have been created. The team is actively working on a demo version of the game. However, the combat demo has already been published. I recommend you to play it.

= Undertale Lavender by TeamLavender =

It came as a surprise to me that this project has been under development for two years, but its creators decided to tell us about it only now. In the first devlog, they showed concept art and Sterling's sprites, the main character of the game. The content of some plot features is revealed: at the moment, the team is working on a Neutral path.

The problems don't want to recede, but even in this turbulent flow of events, I find a little time to do what I love.

Here's a small fragment of the drawing (I know it's hands again ), although I think it's quite enough to create a bit of intrigue.

(WIP)

This picture shows the concepts of three monsters that could be used in the development of DAG!UNDERFELL. Unfortunately, this project has been canceled, and now I can show you what kind of monsters we could meet in the game...

(fan concept)

My take on King Von from Undertale: Brave Faith by Team Dark Legend!

Go check out this cool project:

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Undertale! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

I would never have thought that drawing pixel hands would be as difficult as drawing them on paper. Here are some sketches - I have a lot to learn...

woke up from a nap and immediately made this for no reason

If you think I've decided to change my image, then you're wrong. It's just that @PmAt2TobyFoxFan took my clothes and offered me this one...

It was so cruel of him

(sneak peek?)

I have already made a number of sprites, and I was able to make this simple animation. It's all at an early stage of "development" so far...

It's not working out very well, but I'm trying my best

Thanks, I appreciate it!

As a rule, something unusual needs to be prepared for events like this. I wasn't ready, so I'll just share some plans and tell you a little bit about what has already been achieved
