Progress Report #1 - June 2019


Hey everyone!
We have decided that it’s time for us to finally show off some things, talk about some changes, and about the demo and its release date.

First of all, let’s talk about some things that have changed.


Magic

As you might’ve seen from the April Fools demo and the screenshots, the game lets you use magic spells. All older screenshots have shown a “MP” bar, for magic. However, that has been changed recently.

“MP” has been replaced with “EN”! What does “EN” stand for? I have no idea!

The idea of naming it “EN” came from the art book, it was Toby’s original idea before removing spells from the game.

There are 2 types of spells, passive and offensive.
Offensive spells cannot be used outside of battle.

(Example of a passive spell.)


Moving on from spells, another big change was done to the shops.

It’s based off the original concept art for the shops from the Undertale Art Book, made by Temmie Chang.


Characters

Our team has been working hard on the characters, and we’re excited to finally show them off!

Eva

Let’s start off with the new protagonist, Eva!

Short Description: A plush made of Love!
Your new best friend!

Hapstablook

We’ve decided to keep the name as “Hapstablook” instead of going for any other name, since that’s the closest thing to canon.

Short Description: A ghost that lives in the old Dreemurr Castle.
One word to describe them would be: “Glamorous”.

Short Description: The Royal Scientist. A mad scientist that NEVER gives up.


That’s all the characters we’re ready to show you for now.

Now, for the final and probably most important part of the devlog…


The Demo

The previously posted “demo” was an April Fools joke.

Now, let’s talk about the actual demo.
We’ve been working on the game for quite a while, however actual demo progress started only 2 months ago, about the same time the April Fools demo was released.
Currently, the game engine is almost finished, and so is the music.

The current plan for the release of the demo is somewhere around this summer, however we cannot make any promises.


And that’s all we’ve got for now!

See you next time!
