Hello Everyone!

This is the first devlog/introduction to Undertale - The Silver Soul. I'm planning on doing one of these roughly every month where I show some progress on the game, as well as explain certain facets of the story/in-game mechanics.

I would also like to say that this is the first game I'm making, so there's a lot for me to learn.

Anyways, for this first devlog, I'll be going more in detail about the basis of this fangame, as well as the planned areas.

This game takes place between UTY and UT. I'm not entirely sure how far in the past the UTY team made UTY, so I've guessed that the time between Clovers death and Frisks arrival is about 5ish years (honestly the exact timeframe doesn't matter too much for this fangame, so it's kept a little vague in universe). TSS takes place several months after UTY's Pacifist ending (several meaning at least 3 months and at most like, a little over a year).

Logan is the main character of TSS. He is an adult human with a silver colored soul, that's why this fangame is called The Silver Soul (cause his soul is silver). You may be wondering why this is called 'Undertale - The Silver Soul' and not 'Undertale Silver'; this is intentional. I won't say why this is yet, but know that there is a reason.

Here are some sprites I've made for Logan:

If you notice, Logan has two different outfits. At a certain point in the game, Logan will put on his signature jacket, and it will be reflected in his sprite! Also, Logan has textbox sprites, unlike the other humans in UT, DR, and UTY. He will be talking quite a bit, so he should have some... plus, look at him! He's so cool (maybe he'll be voiced by Chris Pratt lol).

The combat will be a little different than it is in UT. The main 'gimmick' for TSS is the ability to use magic (something unique to Logan, more on this in the future) in battle for various effects. I'll go over the combat system and magic in more detail in a future devlog.

I've made, what I'm calling, a road map of the content of TSS. It details the numbered sections (basically chapters), as well as which areas are planned to be included. I've put a tag next to each area indicating it's origin (Red 'UT' for Undertale, Yellow 'UTY' for Undertale Yellow, Silver 'TSS' for Undertale - The Silver Soul

Here it is below:

I'll do a brief overview for each area:

Prologue/The Surface - TSS will start with a prologue showing Logan on, what monsters call, The Surface just before he goes into The Underground. Will be rather short, basically just being a cutscene, but will have a few small rooms you can explore. Includes a couple areas from the city (seen in UT's pacifist ending), as well as outside Mt. Ebott and the infamous cave (infamous to us, not those in game).

Ruins - Just as seen in UT. Might remove some unnecessary rooms to shorten it a little.

Old Home - The first new Underground area in TSS. Although you do see it in UT, it's only in the background, inaccessible. Old Home is made up of several large open areas with tall building you can actually go in! I'm hoping to add a feature that will let you zipline across some buildings.

Dark Ruins - Pretty short area. Basically just the last few rooms before entering Lower Snowdin.

Lower Snowdin + Snowdin Deepwoods - I have these two paired together because they are very intertwined. You will be going through a room or two in Lower before having to go through Deepwoods a bit, then back to Lower, etc. Deepwoods will be rather dark with various winding paths.

Upper Snowdin - Basically just Snowdin Town and a little farther.

Waterfall Caverns - A deeper section of Waterfall. Not exactly sure of its final size yet. Features mostly a lot of large rock formations, and not as much water.

Wild East - This only features the areas from Oasis Valley to the entrance of Steamworks (no Dunes or Mines, hence why this is just called Wild East).

Steamworks - This is the one area I'm not too sure about. Might end up making it very short as to just be a pathway to Hotland, but I'm hoping to make more of it.

Hotland - In UT, you cross this area by going in an 'S' shape from the bottom left to the top right, but in TSS, it's the opposite; you start from the top right, and end at the bottom left.

True Lab - Unlike in UT, True Lab will be visited in ALL routes, not just the pacifist one. Not sure how much I can say about True Lab without being spoilery, but its layout will be the same as UT's.

New Home - The same as UT, but a lot of dialogue differences.

???????? - The final area of TSS. I'm not planning on saying much of anything about this area during development, but I will explain its relation to the endings in a future devlog. All I can say about this area is:

"Woah" - Crash Bandicoot.

Epilogue - The ending

As Logan progresses through The Underground, he will meet various characters from Undertale, Undertale Yellow, and characters brand new to The Silver Soul.

"You will never know who you will run into next." - Kingdom Hearts (love this series)

That concludes the first devlog for Undertale - The Silver Soul. I'm currently working on character sheets for all of the main characters from the Prolgue and Section 1, showcasing some of their basic information and their design. Logan's is complete, but I'm gonna wait until I finish a few more before starting to post them.

Until next time
