JULY DEVLOG (#4)


Hello Everybody!

Summer is already halfway over, which is a bummer, but it's time for another AMAZING COTW DEVLOG to cheer you all up!

Be sure to read till the end, since we have important news about the future of the project.


Planting the roots for the Gaster Ending.

Since most, if not all, of the writing for the demo is complete, we have decided to start writing the script for the Gaster Ending.

And . . . we finished it!

That's a surprise for sure, but a welcome one.

It means that possibly the most important (and longest) part to write is done!

Of course, progress on the Ending itself isn't going to start until way later, but it's still neat to have one part of it done already!


Phase 1 and its ups and downs.

July has been kinda rough for hopeless.

Our main coder, Monqey, has been busy for most of the month, resulting in phase 1 not having that much progress.

All we can show for now is one of the first attacks of the fight.

(sowwy for the low framerate i cant put videos here)

Though, next month there should be more content to show.

Emphasis on should.


Waterfall: It's complicated.

Progress on Waterfall has been complicated to say the least.

On one hand, we are almost fully done with both the OW and the battle sprites for that area, yet we have no actual progress we can show.

I know that this is disappointing to some of you, so that's why . . .


The future of Devlogs and Progress Reports.

As some of you may have noticed, there has been a decline of content shown in recent Devlogs and Progress Reports.

We are simply not revealing every part of the game before the demo releases.

That's why after the release of the demo, we are changing the way we're going to show progress.

Progress Reports will turn from a weekly to a monthly system.

Devlogs will come out whenever we have a lot of progress we are able to show, we will try to make them every other month.

Some of you may ask "Why not go with the change now?" and to that we have two simple answers.

First of all, we don't want to complicate things before the demo.

Secondly, we want to keep the promise of weekly Progress Reports at least for some time.


Q&A Section

In out last progress report, we asked you for some questions regarding the game, so that we can answer them here.

So, before we end the devlog, here are the answers:

Q: "Will sans sing oppa gangnam style (yeah sexy lady op op op oppa gangnam style) at any point in the game?"

A: He won't, but if you listen closely to the theme for Phase 46 you can hear the gangnam style motif!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Will green sans be a skin for the Cotv fight?"

A: No, but there is a possibility we could add an option to change sprites at some point in development.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Why is it called one left if the human is there?"

A: The name is actually a meta commentary on the fact that it's the last phase of the fight. I made that up just now.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Where did Sans get his working iPad from?"

A: It was laying around in Alphys' lab.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "There will be a final cinematic like in the official game?"

A: I assume you were asking about the final cinematic to the Sans ending. The game is going to have something similar to that, although it won't use story panels like the original.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "What has inspired you to make a COTV take?"

A: It was mostly the fact I got obsessed with COTV in my early days of being in the UTC. After the animation was cancelled and the game was getting seemingly no progress, I decided to create this game as a sort of tribute to the thing that I love.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Will Papyrus say 'hello chat'?"

A: No.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Does sans eat?"

A: he eated a bees

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Demo inculuded green sans?"

A: No, but we are still debating on if we should put some stuff about him in the demo (we probably won't).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Will that ending with sans and papyrus still happen and have you completed any work on it?"

A: Yes! While we were working on the story script for 3c, we have also made some work on ending 3d (those two are very connected). It's not much, since it's still a long time before we start focusing on the endings as a whole, but at least now the ending actually makes sense.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: "Will there be a yaoi subplot between sans and green sans?"

A: i regret the choices in my life and you should too
