Let's get to business!
There hasn't been much progress this month but we hope to get more done in November!
[Writing]
(At the time of writing this dev log)
We've decided to go back and rewrite the script for UTBB's demo, not only that but the overall story has gone under some major rewrites including a new direction for the game and its meta narrative. You see, we’ve decided to take a more fantasy RPG like approach with Magic now being one of the core aspects of UTBB. We’re also introducing a lot more new magic based mechanics & interactions (We even switched up the UI a bit but that’s for a letter date haha).
For our metta narrative . . . Let’s just say, Reed has played Omori, In Stars & Time, Oneshot, & Slay The Princess. And remember one thing, Valor will not be a silent protagonist. You have been warned.
We've also decided to do something different with the way we execute our Cyan soul sub plot. Before cyan was going to be a full fleshed out character however there was some difficulty making it fit into the story even with the rewrites. So, we've decided to make it so we will focus on the consequence of their death/capture instead their possible actions meaning that the cyan soul will be up for interpretation (Not in the way UTY)!.
In summary: Any cyan take (That follows Omega Flowey order) can alien with UTBB's timeline now without any confections! (There’s no UTY Axis situation here lol).
And we would like to give a special shout out to the amazing @Radiaction 
& Knightyume for being awesome Writing Consultants!
Also, a little bunny told me that UTBB & UTR might be doing something special together real soon so be in the look out for that 👀
Minor Change -
We've updated something about Valor. . . They're now are Genderfluid and use He/Him/She/Her/They/Them pronouns! But most characters in game will use They/Them pronouns.
[Sprite Art]
Not much, sadly, for the first half of the month our main tileset artist haven't been able to make anything due to personal IRL issues. Everything seems to be cleared up now and with the new addition of some amazing spriters joining the project (That being @_pancakez 
& Tweetertweers, we're back on track and making progress.
Here, have some cute Idle animations for Valor (plus a sneak peak at their first ever animation after they've fallen down) All made by @Destroyer120 !
[Characters]
Sadly, we can't show much in this department yet, but the crew has been working on designs for the main, support, & random encounters cast of characters!
We've also taken the time to redesign a character already revealed. that being - ???? (Oop, looks like he still doesn't want his name to be revealed, maybe you see it soon?)
We want to at least get battle sprites made before showing off any random encounters, sorry for the wait!
[OST Situation]
For those who don't know, we used to have a few OSTs posted on out YouTube channel, however we got into some complications with the now former team member who drew the artwork that was featured in said videos. We are happy to say that new artwork for the videos are being made as we speak!
Once it's done, we will be working towards putting the OST videos back up + the addition of a few new OSTs.
[Twitter Situation]
Due to Twitter's new policies we decided that we will no longer be posting any artwork on the platform. We have also made the decision to switch over to BlueSky since it seems to be the more healthier alternative to Twitter. We will still have the account up and running and post links to out dev post, however if things get worse then we might just ARCHIVE UTBB's twitter account, cut ties with the platform, and no longer post on it.
