Greetings people, it is time again for a new Devlog for Trusttale!
We have worked a lot for an improved script and writing for the AU itself. Why don’t I just start with the Devlog and let you see it for yourself?

1. Music

This is a rather small part. We are remaking the Stronger Monsters replacement. It did not sound fitting for a general Mid-Boss theme. This theme will be used quite some times, since there will be many Mid-Bosses.
This theme is currently being worked on by M.Meyland.

2. Coding

Fanimator is doing our engine now. He is working on an Undertale engine for a different project, but will also release a default version of it. This engine is really good and it gives a smooth feeling too. It is going pretty well I would say. Fanimator tries his best to make it as flawless as possible and I must say he is good at it. We will of course add some stuff and/or change up some stuff once the engine is done for the sake of our fangame, but this engine will help us for sure.

3. Writing

Oh boy, this is a big one. I am still writing the Script for Trusttale and all of its characters we have right now. It is going really good honestly, daily progress and it is nearing its end for sure.
The Trusttale lore has been updated a lot, even its main story. This is so huge, that I will even need to change the main text for “#Trusttale-Plot” in our Server. I try not to spoiler too much, but I also want to tell you much news too.
In one of the previous Devlogs I have introduced you to a character called “Azul” and also his design. A small blue spirit who guides you through the Cave, the first area section of the underground. Now, this character has changed a LOT and his story expanded too. And I would really like to introduce you to it. May I introduce you to…

Azure and Azalea!

These two siblings could never hurt each other and despite having many arguments, they still love each other. They also have parents, though their designs are not done yet.
The Cedar family consists of;
Azure the youngest member and more calm one
Azalea the older sister, who is loud and sassy
Verdant the father of the family and also protector of them all
Marigold the merciful mother and caretaker of the children

We tried to make them as interesting and special as possible. One of the main problems was their names and connections, which we did not do well at that time. Their family name was something Japanese I randomly made, that did not fit at all and so we have changed it to Cedar. Their names tell somethings about them too, I will not tell what, but you might make your research.
Their names are based-off plant names, mostly flowers to be precise. The reason we chose this is because the names not only represent the colors, but also their personalities, which is a nice thing to include.
Their roles are significantly important for the games story, not only for the first few areas, but also for the future area sections.
The characters will be revealed on another day though, since I am not done writing their scripts.
Speaking of script, the script I am doing is going REALLY well, to be exact I am almost done writing the Script. After that, the Script will be corrected grammatically by some of my writers (Fanimator, Zaxento) and then I will show it to Mr. Peter and after that I will send it to Zaxento for some fixes (if there will be any). After that I will make a small grammar-check and then it is done.
The good thing is, after this whole hell I have many plans regarding Trusttales future.

4. Trusttales Future Plans

Now we are getting near the end of the Devlog. Before that I want to share my plans for the future of Trusttale.
We are getting somewhere, which is really good. Once the engine is done we will start the coding with now more support than ever. I am really looking towards that.
The Server might be pretty dead at the moment, but I will revive it once the whole stress is done. There might also be a possibility that the AUs name will change to something more accurate to its actual story. The name “Trusttale” is pretty old and the name was used for a very very old storyline I made back then. Of course, I was not a good writer and generally I had zero experience at all regarding fan games. But seeing what kind of direction this AU goes, the name doesn’t seem to fit a lot anymore. Of course I will not just randomly change the name out of nowhere. I plan to make a poll where people can choose what they like the most. Might need its time though since we are focusing on more important tasks.
After the Script is finished, I plan to make a lot of changes not only to the team but also regarding the tasks. Many character designs will be revealed and many of their personalities as well. I will try to present them the most spoiler-free way possible. For people who do not even want to spoiler themselves from the designs, I will post all the things in a new channel I will open and mark everything as spoilers.
All themes will also be uploaded to a new channel I will open, so all of the themes can be easily accessible through Discord.
Not only that, but I also will make more partnerships with more Servers. I do have some ideas, but we will see.
Despite everything I think you can be excited for what is coming next. We are NOT dead and we are doing a LOT.

5. The Ending
This is it. This is the end of the Devlog and I thank you for reading until now.
I must also thank you for all of the patience you brought. Really I am happy. My team management hasn’t been the best back then, but now I am improving and I have big plans ahead.
I am excited to make the March Devlog too, if everything goes as I think, that Devlog is going to be HUGE.
Anyways, that’s it. Stay tuned for news and the Devlog coming in the end of this new month!
