Hello, welcome to the first UNDERTALE - FORCED GRIN Devlog!

We have been hard at work these past few weeks making this game possible!

The Sprites

Apple has finished all of phase 1 and 1.5's sprites, and hes beginning to work on phase 2. We also introduced OCD_pyromaniac to the team as secondary spriter!

(dialogue is not final.)

New SOUL Mechanic

That's right, we have created a new soul mechanic that sans will use in addition to INTEGRITY, it will be the pink soul ASPIRATION. Pink bones require you dash through them (similar to orange, but dash).

Along with that, there is (yes another) no so big one which just vivids the blue color of your soul when its blue. It'll be a sorta grey blue affect that just doesnt let you move diagonally (still working on it).

CAR BATTERY!!

YES, this IS canon and WILL be in game. It will be a little side attack with a new mechanic that will play a lil role in the lore so we thought we would mention it :)

New team members

Since we last talked, we have 2 new team members!
These members are @OCD_pyro (as previously stated), and @EmeraldExpress !!

Emerald is going to be assisting writer and animator!

Writing

As of now, we are currently working on phase 2's intro and writing, as of now phase 1 is basically done. We wont talk abt this too much but any mysterious posts going forward is lore-related most likely.

Here is a lil something planned for phase 2!

The Music/OSTs

Right now, we are going to have up to 12-14 tracks, we'll see when we get there. Our OST has been getting updated here, and on our soundcloud you can check out!

Anyways, we have around 5-7 tracks done right now, and are working on more. NO this game will not have a phase 3...

The Art

As of now, we are (I think) all caught up on SoundCloud thumbnails. More media will be added to GameJolt overtime, as we release more stuff. Any fanart you guys post in comments of the game will earn a media spot until the full game is done!

The Game Itself/ Possible Demo Release

We as a team have been deciding whether or not a phase 1 demo fight would be good. The games code and animation is going along alright, its just we don't know whether we just wanna release stuff like that right now or not. We might hold a poll in the next few days or so, so check back here every now and then.

Here is a teaser of one of the attacks in the game:

Well, with that said I think we are finished here! Thanks for reading and we'll be back with you again soon.
