Moving on :)


Hello loyal followers! I wanna update you all on where the game is headed now;

I love making games and wish to pursue it for a career. Developing Undersmash has taught me so much about working on a large project.

BUT... I can't lie... I'm not really invested in this game anymore. By that I mean both Undertale and Undersmash. I made the first prototype about 5 years ago I believe, which is a long time to be working on a non-profit game almost entirely alone. Plus, fangames arae pretty creatively stiffling... I gotta use the same characters and concepts as some other dude the whole time.

At least right now, my motivation to even THINK about Undersmash just is gone, and I have so many other cool ideas I wanna do!! I feel like this game has been pinning me down for years because I've been so determined to finish it that I just let it spiral out of control.

So that's why I'm taking a break. Maybe I'll come back to the game in a month or two, maybe I will stop entirely. Which I know is a bit sad because I was really excited to make this game for you. But I promise that if you stick around I can make alot of other really cool stuff for y'all!

ALSO, if I take a long break and still aint feeling like returning to the game, I will open source it. Because I think it deserves to be used for something!

Really hope y'all stick around to see what else I can cook. peace!

Someone suggested reducing the colour palette - I do quite agree that this is cleaner, though the other one had a 'roundness' that I really enjoyed... Not sure!

Character redesign :)

I was going for that downscaled DS look + something to match my new logo slightly better

Scrapped human walking animation for the overworld areas. Ended up being too high resolution so I'll just dump it here for yall
