Undertale Yellow: Done Justice

Cancellation


I had taken far too long to rip this band-aid off:

I had intended prior to resume development after my condition improves, which unfortunately has not been the case. It is fitting that such a disruptor of productivity had me sit on this announcement for a while.

However, even if things do improve... I am not certain if I can be satisfied with this project, as it would be impossible to make Undertale Yellow into a genuinely good game long-term without it becoming something different entirely due to very messy interconnected issues.

I had those doubts pile up as the project went on, as the process of trying to improve on issues of UTY leads to one finding even more. The URL is one of the remainders of the optimism I didn't know I had when first working on this project.

For a time, I thought that I had to keep going in spite of my dissatisfaction because nobody else would be willing to make the efforts to improve UTY.

The development of UTY Remastered was an interesting thing to see, as it had a similar idea of fixing bugs and rebalancing the game. A change that is in line with the earlier ideas I had of making a patch for UTY before going the route of trying to cram UTY into the UT Engine because I loathed dealing with it's code that much. (It's not a smooth conversion, though...)

I don't mind it's existence of course, in fact I am quite glad since it means that my project is redundant enough that I could drop this burden I had given myself. It would be nice to not work on something I don't feel like would be good. I don't believe UTY Remastered will be good either because of it dealing with the impossible task UTY would demand, though I believe it does a good amount to try to alleviate it's issues just a bit.

CoffeeWaves, a friend of mine that I had met that was interested in this project... His passion will not be wasted, as he has been providing suggestions and notes to the creator of the project.

[What will I be doing now?]
I intend to continue directing my efforts to the tedious process of porting the Chapters 1 & 2 version of Lolchick's Deltaruined Mod to Deltarune's new Chapter system. Although I've been quite inefficient for my liking since the insomnia hit, the clear direction on what to do helps ensure I am able to continue chipping in on this gruntwork so that the more fit Lolchick can work on cooler stuff.

Afterwards? I'm not too sure. I've some ideas on what to work on next, but I don't think I should lock them in. I really don't want to stretch myself thin again... I'm no good with that.

Here's hoping to good rest I should have had half a year ago. I really want to be able to follow through on some kind of ambition.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
