Hello! I hope you all didn't miss me too much!
There have been a lot of strange and frantic things happening in my life recently, but now that they're calming down, I can finally start work on Purple again! Thank goodness! Routine is good, but I always have to remind myself not to overdo it (I'm excited for winter break already)
But moving on from that: updates!
THE BOOK - CONTINUED
Following up from last time, the book mechanic has continued to be worked on! With awesome effort from my amazing little team (namely SketchBooked in the art dept.), the book now has all new sprite work, all new animation work and some noises to make it feel a little more like you're opening a book!
To show this off a little, I put a video at the top of this post! Exciting, right?
To focus a little more on the book, lets pause on the two guys that were introduced through that screen!
THE BLOOKS
The guys of all time! I'm very excited to show them off to you!
When planning out what characters from Undertale you could reasonably expect to meet, I found that there was actually a bigger list than previously thought! Hense: the ghosts! They're incorporeal, after all, and can't exactly die.
I always thought it was a shame that these guys never got more screentime and that we never got to talk to/see Mettaton as a ghost ... so here they are!
These two are reoccuring shopkeeps all throughout the game, and sometimes finding them can be a little bit of a challenge (like everything in this game). I hope you enjoy talking to them, buying from them, and finding them as necessary!
Look at their cute little sprite sheet!
MUSIC
This is less of an official statement about game progress, but still exciting all the same! We now have a dedicated musician: the amazing @terra-the-axolotl ! I'm very very excited to be working with them, and hopefully, Purple will be populated with music!!
OVERALL....
Now that I'm settling into a more proper routine, I hope to balance working on this with other little personal projects and school work!
