Hello! Kasssm & Co. here, as always!

I've decided that to try and help break the silence around the project that, no matter what, I will aim to do an update every month! These will vary from being primarily write-ups to featuring status updates and previews of the project.

And of course the amount of content in each update will vary depending on the progress we've made since the last update, so don't always expect tons of content and previews!

Anywho, with that said, let's get started!

General Update

First! Game progress has properly begun as of recent and we're focusing on re-creating attacks from what is done of the animation so far. This is only scratching the surface, but it will be done one day!

It is lacking in a few departments and some things will be tweaked as we go (including some of the patterns themselves) but it is progress nonetheless! Huge credit to @Ari7 of course, as the game wouldn't exist otherwise.

As for the animation, I feel like I can officially say we're past the halfway mark! I won't say anything regarding release periods but I can say it will hopefully be no later than the end of this year.

Adding on to this, I plan to release a video showcasing the newly improved Frank introduction sequence, so be sure to look out for that! When that is I won't say as to not second-guess myself, but hopefully not too long!

We are definitely shooting for a mid-year release for the animation and I do feel like it is very possible! Once again, I won't promise anything, but it can happen.

Anyways, moving on to the next thing I want to discuss,

UNDERSWAP: Judgement / Sans' Trust

Throughout the past few months we've come to the agreement that the UNDERSWAP segment of the project is anything but needed and has slowed us down in many regards, so as of now it will remain shelved until further notice.

The UNDERSWAP mode was made as more of a counter to someone in the community doing it over doing it out of actual passion unlike the main project, trying to help define a common ground for potential AUs of the project. Granted, this didn't really work out and is now where it is.

In the future this may span off into its own project dis-associated from Papyrus' BELIEF, but only time will tell.

Papyrus' Belief Gamejolt Community

Recently I put together a Gamejolt community dedicated to Papyrus' BELIEF where you can talk and post your own work, or anything regarding the project such as theories and fanart.

There's also a dedicated Frank channel!

Once the project is finished it may be transformed into a generalised community for all of my future projects but for now it's for Papyrus' BELIEF primarily, so feel free to join!

Well, that's about it for this month in terms of spoiler-free content!

There's so much more behind-the-scenes content that I'd love to show off but doing so would ruin the surprise factor of it. What fun is that? I hope you'll come to see it sooner rather than later, though!

Thank you all for reading and I hope to see you all next month! Goodbye!
