DEVLOG: Yo, some good news- finally!


Hello, everybody! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, for once, we have good news, and I believe everyone may get excited. : )

As the head director of Demolitale, I am pleased to present to you the return of an old dev, Greloom! What will Greloom do, exactly? Well, he’s an absolute programming genius! He knows his way around Linux and Mac very well, and is currently saving up to get the appropriate copy of GMS he needs to work with. In other words, we finally have Mac and Linux covered! The best part is that Greloom has a deep passion for Demolitale, and would likely be working on it very often.
Ironically, I believe that when he saves up and gets said copy of GMS, that Linux may be the first edition of DT to release (the alpha, anyway). Windows, despite its mass popularity in the gaming industry, doesn’t have a lot of programmers to work with in the UT community. They’re almost always busy, quit the first week (without doing anything), or just don’t want to work at all. However, surprise! Greloom can program on Windows, too! He can use something called a Cross API, meaning that DT will be able to work across multiple platforms. Exciting, right?
Demolitale Brown Director Purrsum is still working on finishing up the Undertale Purple demo he lost alongside Demolitale from his brother’s careless deleting a few months ago. Once that’s finished, the engine should be good to use for DT on Windows, if not replaced by Greloom.

Oh no! I forgot to find a piece of content to share in our devlog! Hm, lemme look around my files…
Found it! Everyone, I present to you a new texture for an unnamed and unpurposed spell. It’s a WIP right now, and may be very strainful on the eyes, which is what we are working on preventing. For now, I will hide it behind a spoiler block.

WARNING: THOSE WHO ARE PHOTOSENSITIVE AND SUFFER FROM EPILEPSY SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, VIEW THIS ANIMATION. WE AREN’T SURE OF HOW SAFE IT IS FOR SOMEONE SUFFERING FROM SAID CONDITION TO VIEW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

For those who could see it safely, could you please provide feedback? Does it hurt to look at, or is it alright? Do you believe it could hurt someone, or do you think it’s safe? We want our players to be safe when using our product, so please respond in the poll below.

Lastly, I’m going to start a tradition where I advertise the Discord server. Why? Because Discord’s a god-send, that’s why! Want to hang out with other Demolitale fans and meet the developers, get early or exclusive sneak peeks, and have some fun? Be sure to drop by our Discord server, which supports all 3 Demolitale games together! We’d love to have you here; just be sure to read and agree to the rules in the Welcome channel first!
Here’s the link:

Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to thank you all for almost 700 followers! We’ve really come a long way, huh? Every day, new content and ideas are created, and we as devs enjoy every moment of it. Here’s to hoping we can finally put our content and ideas into a playable format! Anyway, thank you so much for following the development of Demolitale and its sibling titles. I’ll see you in the next dev log. : )

The creation of this community also brings one last thing: and that's the official preview page of Deltarune: The Rouged Thorn, a potential followup to UTTO.

It's been promptly attached to this community's games section, more info on the page itself.

DEVLOG: Happy late birthday, Undertale! We're going to show off a little something you might have already seen in our Discord, but for those who haven't, we hope you're excited. :^) Take a look below!

MICROLOG: Oops! I forgot to show off the map we devs made, drawn by LukeWarmGuy! This is Mongale Island, AKA what the title is referring to as the "Otherground". This is where the events of the game will unfold. Hope you like it, and huge thanks to Luke!

so how about a new halloween pfp :^)

also made an upgrade to the background of my default pfp

MICROLOG: Just barely missed our shot. Don't worry, though! Everything except programming is ready to go, aside from a few lines in writing that need fixing and an optional track we wanna add. :^)

We should be able to drop super early in July, I promise!

MICROLOG: A feature we've promised for a while and can finally confirm it coming: ambient creatures! As Louis and friends travel Mongale, there'll be small creatures that will hop, crawl, and fly around in each and every environment. Here's some examples!

forget the professionalism, it's 4am and i almost fell out my chair when i saw this thank u all so much for 2k we're so close to the proof demo it's exciting just a few more things to finish up and we're ready to drop i hope it'll be worth the wait :^)

It's been a long, long time. After many years of sheer development hell, the game is being canceled- but, if you don't mind, please read the attached article. Thank you all for the memories and experiences, you all really changed my life.

Discord Update: I'm on track to getting back in, but Discord keeps passing down the processing job, so it's naturally taking forever. They're doing their job, which is something to celebrate regarding their reputation.

Have some cute art for the server :)

It's been five years; half a decade.

It's late at night as I'm writing this, but I'm still in disbelief that Undertale turned 5 today.

I wished we could've released UTTO today as a gift to Undertale & its fans, but we'll keep working hard until then. :')
