Hi everyone, we're back with a fresh, new devlog. This time we have a lot to show and tell, but first thing's first...
... we've made it to Underevent with a brand new trailer! (An event featuring lots of Undertale fan games showing off their progress). This is already a step up from the original game, since we practically never had a fully developed and thought-through trailer beforehand. Cool stuff!
But despite having made it with a gameplay trailer, we have more things to discuss and show off.
Battle engine
Let's start by discussing the battle engine. This one's quite simple: it is set to give a lot more interactions with monsters, allowing for multiple outcomes depending on how and whom you decide to play.
Dodging in the overworld is also influenced by whom you'll be controlling. Both characters have their ups and downs, but ultimately the experience will remain the same for each character.
Unique abilities
You've heard me right! Batty and Mel will utilise their builds to perform special actions. For example...
Batty is a battering ram! I mean...a tank? Anyway, she has the ability to shoulder charge while running. As you press the shift key, you ram first, then you cool off and begin to run. Very useful indeed!
Even though Mel is weaker than Batty because of her age and size, she will take advantage of it. She has the ability use special crawlspaces to navigate across gaps that Batty normally wouldn't be able to cross.
Sewers Teaser
There's something going on down there, in the depths of the sewers’ canals. You’ll soon find out but until then, take this ride.
Special Section
That's it for now! We wanted to take this moment to thank you all for following this project's development; it has been almost 5 years since its initial start, and we're still here. You’re still here. We're so thankful for the 3K followers! We never thought it would happen; it’s freaking nuts! Anyway, thank you so much!
Along with that, our discord server reached 150 members a little while ago! Even though it’s a server focused on the game, that’s not its only purpose. Lots of amazing people willing to chat while having fun. If you want more special sneak peeks and exclusive teasers, then join our server using the link below:
Again, thank you all once again for sticking around, witnessing this project's growth, and waiting until the moment you can play the game for yourselves. We can't wait too! Thank you for reading this devlog; stay put and we’ll see you again later this spring!
Who knows what the next special announcement will be about... Guess that’s something to look forward to!
P.S. We originally planned to show off some more footage, but we'll have to wait until the next fortunate date, and that day you might just see another trailer. Who knows? But until then...
See you soon! Stay patient, strong, and hopeful!
(the next devlog (whenever that'll be) will be focusing on showcasing the main mechanics of the sewers, and possibly some more music too! so stay tuned.)
