Hey, guys. Sorry I haven't been posting in a while.

With the release of the 1.1 Frank's Christmas Spectacular (wonderful title I know) I have made a promise to myself that I would focus all of my attention on actually making my first real game.

Okay, but why don't you have a title for it yet?

Oh, believe me I have a title for this game. In fact, I've already revealed it in a different newsletter on GameJolt

What will it be like to play it?

The game will be a variation of a classic RPG game. The overworld will be a platforming area while the battle system will be a mix of Undertale and Chrono Trigger.

What makes this game unique and why will it be worth my time?

To be fair, the ideas are not completely original, but at the same time, I don't want to make something new and then for it to be immediately hated. Besides, like Toby Fox, I don't like the idea of luck in RPGs either.

The story, however is an original idea that is inspired by several works such as Lord of the Rings, Cucumber's Quest, Earthbound, and of course Deltarune. I'd like to think of this as "Deltarune but family-friendly" in some circles. The story itself is something I've been working on for a few years now and I've just never found the time or the means to make it a reality.

...

That is until now!

Ok, but when will we get a title drop?

Next newsletter, I promise. However I already mentioned the title drop in a previous post. If you don't want to wait, look for it somewhere in my posts.

How often will we get updates?

I will try to give out updates about every month, depending if I've gotten enough done by then. Also keep in mind that I am currently a solo developer. These things will take time.

I may ask for help occasionally, but feel free to give out your ideas for music or characters in the comments! (for music, message me over GameJolt chat, ok?)

Well, how much work has been done?

Just enough for basic collisions to be done, Most of the battle system figured out, and a fully functioning textbox system.

Soooo, yeah nothing special ;)

But seriously, I haven't really done much world building yet, and most of it is a few rooms for testing at the moment. I will give some screenshots in the future on progress though!

Have we any music for it yet?

As a matter of fact, yes we do!

Will there be merch?

Aaaannnnd that's about all I have to say at the moment!

Make sure to follow me for upcoming news and (of course) the trailer and title drop!

Catch you guys later!
