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 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.

Fixed audio problems in prior videos by updating Gamemaker Studio 1 to 1.4.999, turns out it had a steam beta I could have used this whole time! Flowey now does a little bit of trolling if you're too chatty. Dalv? Oh yeah I finished his cutscene too.

Nawww Gamemaker Studio don't do this to meeeee

My insomnia was so strong that I got this room done too for another timesave of roughly 2.88 seconds (and cut another lame long hallway room for 7.11 seconds) Also worked a bit on the first Dalv Cutscene. Camera Pan and Dalv Yapping mainly.

Gameplay is Canon. Decibat doesn't like noise. I did something with that. Sorry for the slow progress. Haven't been sleeping well, so I haven't been able to get myself to work at the rate ya'll deserve.

I was working on Decibat and accidentally made their face too big.

I'm surprised I didn't have to grind to get this many Dark Dollars.

The Delta Rune Robe Toriel wears being a Religious Outfit multiple people wear is funny since so many Fan-Made UT Prequels gave Toriel shallow Delta Rune Robe variants because of being too afraid of looking similar to Undertale.

Condensed some more rooms in size and cut room_darkruins_02 outright for the crime of being a straight line with nothing in it. 8.88 additional seconds of travel time have been saved, plus not needing to move the y camera in room_darkruins_06.

Worked on the Corn Maze and Flowey Dialogues today. A notable change here is that the Pebbles Room Entrance is inside the maze itself. I expect to have this maze done tomorrow with interactables and clutter. (Oh... How I loathe clutter...)
