SWAPFELL: Story Mode - Devlog 2 (9/3/2023)


Second Devlog! Really glad to have this project up and moving


Update

In case you missed the previous couple of posts, since the last devlog, we have changed our game engine to Unity. However, since we currently only have one programmer, if enough programmers for another engine apply (and the engine is up to our standards) then we may change in the future.


Progress

To help streamline the development of this project, a list of tasks required to complete the demo (Ruins area) was created.

Writing

Character and backstory writing has mostly been focused on the Marshes, the first large in-game area.

  • For various reasons, two swaps have been redone: Napstablook <> Dummy, Mad Dummy <> Mettaton

  • Drastic rewriting of key characters has been made

  • The Marshes continues to be developed

Spritework

Various sprites have been updated to fit the story or new designs.

  • Flowey overworld sprite updates, battle sprite revisions

  • Some overworld sprites for Temmies have been updated

  • Toriel's overworld sprite has been revised and updated various times

  • Asgore's overworld and battle sprites have been completely redone to fit the final design (more on him later)

  • Placeholder sprites for Napstablook and the Dummy have been made in accordance with their new positions in the story, with design updates expected

Music

Continual planning and revision for various tracks has been done in preparation for when a musician joins the team.

Programming

Gradual progress is being made on the game's engine.


Shout out!

I wanted to take this time to give a quick shoutout to anothermedian, a musician who makes awesome stuff! Their work has greatly inspired this project

obligatory sprites

As mentioned previously, Asgore has gone through quite a few revisions. He could still use some tweaks, so we won't show his final designs yet, but you can probably get a pretty good idea for them with all our unused sprites:

(the discord server saw them all before you!)

Our first 5 Asgore designs, plus attempts to get his head to look right.

Some unrelated Asgore sprites I made a while back during development that heavily influenced his new design.

Asgore's final design iterations. We ultimately settled on a few sprites not shown here

And finally, our base Asgore sprite that we settled on during this whole process. I found Toby's sprite had lots of posture problems, so we got to this point.

Note that all sprites shown above are free to use. No credit is required, but state that the sprites are not your own.


And that's it for this devlog! Thank you guys for following this little game, it means so much

Never really documented a #MinecraftBuild before but my survival world is probably what i'm the most proud of (edit: look i have the cool end background)

#Undertale10 I never played Undertale besides the Demo of it (and only played a little bit of chapter I of Deltarune).

But it was so everywhere online that I ended up learning about most of it from gameplay videos and even ended up watching fan-animations

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

What do you think guys in my robot?Just a beginner in 3d modeling..
