Hello! I wanted to give everyone an update on... well, kind of everything about Undertale: Blue Bonds that I can. I know there hasn't been an update given in a while (besides just recently for the anniversary of Undertale) and I wanted to kind of give a reason why for that as well.

For starters, I just want to say that this game is NOT cancelled. I'm not going to lie, I was debating it for a bit. But, just recently, I finally found that spark again. New ideas began coming to me and it made me want to get this game finished more than ever.

Now, before we get into my reasons for lack of updates and all of that boring stuff, we'll go over where the game is at right now!

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 1

...Okay, so not really a big development update, more like the opposite... downdate I guess..?

Anyways, what I'm getting at is during my tiny break that I took recently (more at the end) I realized something. My previous pacifist story uh... kinda sucked. So, I'm changing it. Along with that, the other routes are changing as well. Unfortunately, this meant I had to restart making the rooms from the beginning. So, kind of back to square one, but at least I still have the basic stuff like movement, jumping, and the menu finished!

WHAT I'M DOING CURRENTLY:

• Re-writing the Pacifist route (75%)

• Re-writing the Genocide route (10%)

• Re-writing the Neutral routes (60%)

• Making concept art for enemies / some NPC's.

• Re-spriting Harmony.

(More on that last point: Original, Harmony was going to be around the same age as Frisk. However, with the way the story is going now, Harmony not even being double digits yet doesn't really fit as well as it does in Undertale LOL. So, with Harmony being aged up a slight bit, her sprites need to be changed accordingly. Harmony's sister, Serenity, will remain the same age as Frisk.)

I wish there was more to give you. But, hopefully, you are just excited as I am. Just know, one day, this game will see the light of day and I will make sure of that!

Now, onto the more boring and personal stuff.

I know I said that this game wasn't cancelled. But for a bit there, it kind of was. I was definitely losing faith. This is for a whole bunch of different reasons, but one of those reasons we'll quickly get into for a moment.

I'm not gonna lie to you all, It's going to be a VERY long time before Undertale: Blue Bonds is anywhere CLOSE to being done. Look at how long other fully released or currently releasing fan games take. A lot of the times, that is with a team. For my game, it's really just me. And I'm not gonna lie, I am DEFINITELY not the best at coding LOL. I know some stuff, but no where near as much as I should for coding an Undertale fan game. And that's what almost made me quit this entire thing. Something like this is REALLY without a team. Especially as someone with so little coding knowledge I realized that at not really the best time in life, so it did make me pack it up. But then I realized something. I'm learning a lot through this process, though. I'm surprised and proud that I've managed to get as far as I have so far. Why would I stop now? So, I'm not going to.

I would definitely like to put a team together at some point, But I definitely need to make sure I have a clear idea of a story put together first that way I can work with a team to change things that need changing and stuff like that.

If you read this far, thank you for reading and thank you for being interested in my little fan game :)
