Major's SWAPFELL

Scrapped Content


Since this game's transition from #UNDERSWAP to #SWAPFELL, pretty much everything has changed substantially. As a result, almost all sprites and ideas I've been working on for years were scrapped. However, I feel like it's a waste to let all of these things just sit in my storage forever, so I've decided to share some of it with you guys!

It's probably pretty obvious, but most of the early sprites are actually edits or traces of existing Undertale or Underswap sprites. For example, Alphys:

swap_alph.png

The original design on the left is ripped from a Neutral Underswap Alphys fangame, but for the life of me I couldn't find out who made it. So naturally, I just recreated it and made a whole sprite sheet for it (sarcasm. this was not the right thing to do.) Luckily these type of 'edited' sprites will not be used in this game.

It's not great, I know. I did make a full (original) sprite sheet for her overworld armor as well, though that's more likely to be reused.

Next up, the Ruins! Or temples or whatever. They were originally blue like in the early images of TS!Underswap, but I figured it would be far more interesting to use the tiles from the Throne Room to create a more lush, royal feel (and according to a game jolt poll, most people felt the same way). Although they're pretty much all reskins, it definitely inspired the current, more varied designs. Here's the iterations in order:

underswap_ruins_v7-2.png
underswap_ruins_v15-2.png
swap_fell_all_v3.png
swap_fell_all_v14.png

Pretty cool, right? As for the yellow-orange tileset, there were a LOT of ruins rooms made for it, but they're all reskins, so I won't flood this article with them. There were also some sprite sheets made for early swapped ruins random encounters:

swap_ruins_random_v1.png

I won't be showing all of these, since they'll probably be edited and reused. But on the the topic of small sprite sheets, I've got a few more:

swap_sans_v1.png
swap_undyne_v5.png
ntb_v6_1.png

I did sprites pretty out of order. The Napstaton one is straight from the Underswap April Fools trailer that was originally on this page. Undyne's sprites are heavily inspired by her Deltarune appearance rather than Undertale. All of these designs have changed so substantially that I don't really consider any of these images spoilers.

There's a bunch of other stuff, but I don't think most of it is worth showing and I'm also getting tired of writing this. There is way more of this stuff than I thought there was and it's totally unorganized.

I hope you enjoyed this view of my past sprite work, and I'm looking forward to sharing new stuff with everyone as the game progresses!

hey @gamejolt , I'm having an issue with avatar frames. As seen in the first picture, I made this account a few years ago. However, recently, I've been repeatedly given the 1-week frame, and my previous frames have been deleted...

gamemaker

Dev Update - December 2024

you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

(still testing button/box positioning obviously)

Sprite Commission!

we officially have player collisions!

Game now has a NEW THUMBNAIL!!! I made this art over the course of a few days, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Unfortunately the final version had to be cropped a bit to fit the ideal size. Speculate all you like about the owners of the hands

Sans If He Actually Did His Job

SHADOWS AND ROOM TRANSITIONS??? NO WAY
