Hey everyone, Newi here.

It’s been a bit since the last Devlog but there’s been quite a bit of progress in the last couple months. You’re probably wondering what the title is referring to, so I’ll just get right to the point.

As of the time of uploading, I have officially Graduated!!

It’s been a long road here, and I felt like it was important to keep linked to this project since this is something I’ve been working on since my first year of high school. 4 years will have passed soon but we’re still going strong!

I’d like to say we have a crazy amount of progress done because of that, but in reality unlike something like Undertale Yellow where progress remained stagnant, this project has gone through many [VERY MUCH NESSECARY] reboots/iterations, especially in story, which I will get to soon. I would currently say we are in Iteration 3.5 of DELTAFELL.

PREBOOT, REBOOT, and FANGAME.

I’m counting it as the 3.5th Iteration as there have been so many changes to the story since we went down the fangame route that it’s practically an entirely different AU story-wise.

I’m really hoping this iteration of the AU sticks, as what we’ve been working on is finally something I can say I’m proud of without the need for another Reboot. Either way, I’ll continue to work on the project even after this point, and I’m committed to giving everyone out there feasible content as soon as possible.

SPRITING:

Decent progress has been made spriting-wise! I can’t show it unfortunately as some of it is actually for later chapters, but here’s this!

WRITING:

Words cannot even describe how much progress has been made here. I could write another 5 Devlogs just talking solely about each aspect of Writing in depth. We started running Team Meetings again and the amount of progress made towards the AU as a whole cannot be understated. We now have:

- Ending FULLY Planned out.

- Rough Outline for Story Planned out.

[What we want to happen each chapter.]

- Each Chapter Title/Main Concept Planned out.

- Each Main Character Arc Planned out.

- Ch1, Ch3, Ch4 Chapter Arcs and Endings Planned out.

[Ch2 & 5 Currently in Progress.]

- Side Characters Written.

- Future Important Characters Written.

[Things are subject to change.]

CODING:

Some attacks have been worked on, as seen below!

MUSIC:

The class theme has been given a new version to fit the rest of the demo!

CLOSER:

I apologize for the long break in between Devlogs, from now on I don't think it's feasible to continue doing monthly logs, but rest assured knowing the project is still being actively developed!
