Hello to both new and returning supporters! First of all, memy (late) christmas to all of you! I can't believe it's that time of year already.

It has only been a few days since our last post which was revealing our participation within UNDEREVENT 2022! Unfortunately, I felt a bit dazed and ill afterwards due to the sheer support, positivity and shock we received hitting me like a truck, but I'm all good now and ready to talk about it!

So let's get into it right away!

The impact UNDEREVENT had for the project and what that means for us

At first I was a bit scared that people wouldn't be so happy with the Disbelief fake-out but I couldn't have been more wrong, as the chat actively started speeding up when it was revealed to be Papyrus' BELIEF, and began chanting at the introduction of a certain somebody...

Frank! Our own interpretation on Papyrus' BLASTER. Frank isn't a copy and paste of Sans' blasters and functions very differently! I'll list said differences below.

• There is only one instance of Frank, so no multiples like Sans.

• Once Frank is brought into battle, he doesn't leave and stays on-screen until retracted by Papyrus!

• Frank reacts to things on his own accord, having his own personality! He even disobeys Papyrus at times...

• Being a manifestation of Papyrus' own will, he is extremely strong, coming in at around 3000HP and dealing a ton of damage in one blast!

• To counter his strength Frank is a lot slower than Sans' blasters and can't shoot nearly as often, though he is able to move whilst shooting a beam!

We've felt as if this is the best way to approach a 'Papyrus blaster' without making it feel too generic or shoe-horned in unlike other takes on the concept.

Since the introduction of Frank the support for his sheer existence has been insane with media including him blowing up with thousands of likes and views, people continuing to scream about how much they love him. I love how much you love him!

Now, moving on to the next section.

Animation & Game Split

Another thing Underevent did for us was tell about 8000 viewers that Papyrus' BELIEF was primarily a game and not an animation to be followed up by a game later down the line. This has caused a lot of confusion for newcomers and has caused the team to re-evaluate with us coming to this conclusion:

Instead of making an animation and then the game, we're going to jump straight for the full release of the game.

This doesn't mean that the animation is going to waste, not at all, as @Ari7 and I going to be re-creating what we had 1:1! We feel that this is going to be the most widely accepted choice and that everyone would much prefer a game to play sooner rather than 2 years later.

Rough Estimates

NONE OF THIS IS CONFIRMATION! Just rough guesses.

I currently have my sights set on anywhere between June to December of 2023 and with both myself and Ari working on it, I feel this is very plausible. Though with this I feel like the Underswap mode would have to follow later if we wanted to reach that release window as a separate update/game, though I don't know yet.

If anything I feel like the latest you guys will get your hands on the game is the first quarter of 2024. This gives a year and a bit of a development window for both me and Ari, which I feel is very plausible if nothing goes wrong.

Once again this is all estimating and guessing, though I'm hopeful for a release in that time window!

Previews

To end this all off I'm going to show off some of the clips featured in our Underevent showcase un-edited, so they aren't cut off anymore or heavily distorted. I'll also sprinkle in some unseen stuff as well!

And that's all!

I'd like to re-iterate that I'm insanely thankful for all the support as of recent, to both you reading and everyone who worked and contributed on UNDEREVENT for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime!

Thank you all for reading and I'll see you all soon.
