Save Data System


I managed to implement a particular save system on the same day that I talked about the github. Not sure if it was before or after the post, but right now I am pretty confident it is fully functional as no bugs were found.

Different Scenarios produce different save data, which can all be used in one game. It is convenient for the projects, but it also has potential for save importing from other games in the same Engine (and UNDERTALE), which someone could hypothetically use.

It would be pretty cool to do something with that. It would pair especially nicely with Wonders of Patience if I ever went on to do a full UTY Rewrite to ensure the Story is capable of aligning with Canon. As for the current UTY Story... I am a bit more hesitant on merging the two.

Maybe I could do something simple like make Items stored in Boxes carry over? That would be pretty novel. Sort of like a pseudo-new game plus.

I haven't quite intended the possibility, but I could also try out a dedicated UTY save import feature too? That seems like something that could be done for a full version of the game. No promises.

It will be a good while before the Games reach a point where I have to think very much about any of these. But it is exciting to think of potential ambitions. Hopefully one day an idea strikes me that allows me to tap into the full potential of this.

A temporary tile layout I did before sorting out a tileset for this room The original room was a 318x596 background rather than made with 20x20 tiles, despite mostly being made with them. I made this to figure out where tiles would be and what is needed.

Got this funny bug while playtesting lol

Made progress on the Flowey Intro today!

A discussion I had with CoffeeWaves about the Neutral Asgore Cutscene and UTY Artbook resulted in motivation to work on that part of the game. As consequence, I started work on Martlet's sprites so she doesn't look strange in the same room as the king.

Looks like what previously seemed to be a dead-end didn't stop that progress. Can't really center the HP bar without billboard mode weirdness, or making the HP bar scale decrease from the center rather than the right. Might need to look up a tutorial.

Had a small burst of motivation with making a 3D Undertale Project and gave Godot another shot for a few days. (The 3D Starter Kit Template was really helpful!) Did a lot better this time around. Though I still couldn't quite get to grips with Godot.

This has to be my favorite out of the new shortened item names that appear in battle. UTY Missed out on comedy gold.

I ended up thinking of a new attack similar in format to the Froggit Leap Attack for Flier. Fitting since these are absent in Yellow. Might be interesting to think of a couple more of these for various Monsters, especially for the ones lacking pizazz.
