TEAM BUIZ

As of last week, a team member left on their own terms due to a small argument over the game's story. So I am here to say that @protonoobut is no longer the lead story-writer, and has since gone to make his own game. Good luck to him! However, we have also since gained 8 new team members! Please welcome @tetemama_tuti , @Dark_Haos , @C_Anthony , thepoyoboyo, @RegularC07 , @BluSasso . Yell0w, @CurlyChopz , and Definitely Not A Ghost! They are, in order: Sprite Overhauler (explained later!), Sprite Artist, Multi-Position, Storywriter, Programmer, 2 more Storywriters, and 2 Musicians!

SPRITE OVERHAUL

Yup! It's just as it sounds! Thanks to the help of @tetemama_tuti , our sprites are now being overhauled to have a better and just in general nicer look to them! The first to receive this treatment was Tyson (if you had a keen eye you might've been able to spot it on the help wanted poster!) Here's a look at it in all its glory! (You could also find this early in the discord! Insert shameless Discord plug.

A DEMO?!?

We have officially started creating a Ruins demo! Yep, actually something playable! Here's an estimate of the demo's progress so far:

MUSIC: ~10% 

STORY: ~65% 

PROGRAMMING: ~2%

SECRETS: ~50%

OVERALL: ~10%

As you can see, there's not a whole lot done in the gameplay area, but most of the story and character development is done! We'll definitely have a lot more to show off next month!

SHOW AND TELL

Here's a look at some new sprites and music we've made for the game thus far!

To start off, uploaded to the game's soundtrack section is the 1st version of the menu theme created by @C_Anthony ! Just like in the base Undertale, more background sounds and extra will be added the further you progress and the more friends you make! 

Next up is a look at @ShadowNight_772's sprite (character originally made by @AtomicVibez ,) of a mysterious fellow, currently named Serif. He mostly remains mysterious, but ends up taking a sort of mentor role for Tyson.

Finally for this segment... Tyson can run all four directions thanks to @Dark_Haos ! Yup! No more crawling around the underground!

Wait, this isn't meant to be here, not yet...

Welp, that's all for this month everyone! Don't forget (haha silly Deltarune reference) you can join the discord for more updates! See you around guys! Stay brave!

P.S: Oh yeah, we own the Undertale Orange subreddit now!
