In all honesty I have nothing to show you right now 😭 but I wanna do something so I'm just going to talk about the game progress generally, how I'm feeling, and some nerdy stuff.

So HOW AM I FEELING??

Pretty good actually. I've been doing stuff, it would probably help a bit if I had a schedule because A Levels are a beach but stuffs being done. I had a bit of a programmers block over the last couple of weeks because I was trying to program projectiles into the game and it was SO BOREN but I went about it another way to how I was originally and it's now working in a robust and, well, functional way.

I want to talk about my vision. Undersmash is not Super Smash Bros. and I am not Nintendo. The game will obviously be WAAY more barebones than SSBU; I feel like people are expecting a roster of like 50 characters which is kinda silly??? I would be surprised if the final roster exceeded 10 characters. Programming fighters is very hard and I want the game to feel fairly balanced which is VERY HARD WITH 50 HUBBIN CHARACTERS IN UR GAME. There are other things that won't be present too, because again, I am a single guy. (in all regards 😜😭)

That was prolly a lil negative so here's some better stuff. There will be things in Undersmash that aren't in the Smash games because again, ORIGINAL GAME!? And while fighters themselves will be few, stages, character costumes, pets and other stuff wil be PLENTIFUL as they are easier to produce and I can even include community made content. Also, that stuff is easier to continue adding even after regular updates stop. And yes they will stop at some point, hopefully because I will by then be working on a commercial game and/or university.

Through working on Undersmash, I have found things about myself and how I want to make art. I want energy, life and music in my work which I hope comes across in the first release.??? The actual battle part of the game will be entirely programmed and sprited by me because it's my baby, but other parts of the game will be FILLED with other people's art and contributions too, I want the credits list to give me a heart attack.

In some unrelated news, it was my birthday a few weeks ago. I celebrated by getting my nails done. I felt so gorlypop.

I've also been playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder which is amazinn of course. I might even take some tips for Undersmash because the game just feels so CRUNCHE and exactly the kinda thing I want to be making.

Again, if you want to make any content for Undersmash let me know on discord (should be in my bio, cba to check it now so I'll edit this later and add it) but remember there are only certain parts of the game that I'm accepting content for because I am professional fusspot.

Enjoy reading that mofos, BAIIII SEE YOU NEXT MONTH POOKIES
