Spring is approaching... just like another devlog! We're very excited to finally get around to doing another one!

New Logo!

You may have already seen this in our UnderEvent trailer thumbnail, but we've changed our logo! This is because we believe that this reflects our creative vision more than the old one. In addition, the old one wasn't as customizable as this one. So we're using this logo from here on out to better suit our marketing and aesthetics!

Changing Our Plans

Around three months ago, we debuted our UnderEvent trailer, showcasing our release timeline. However, plans are beginning to change, and that timeline is no longer accurate.

Add-Ons, specifically Deltabattles, are going to be delayed until after release. On release, the base version of Undertale Plus will be all that will be playable. Add-Ons will be released in updates after the first initial release.

Now, you may be reading this and think that this is very much saddening news. This decision was a really hard one to make, and one we've been debating on for awhile, but we believe that this is the best decision for longevity of the project.

By including Add-Ons in the first release, it would delay the time Undertale Plus comes out. Add-Ons, especially ones that are in house created from scratch, take a lot out of our team.

While before we were splitting up the work between Add-Ons and base Plus, we have decided to shift the entire team to focus only on the base mod to make future development on Add-Ons easier and faster.

Not only that, but we want Add-Ons done right. We don't want to rush out a half baked Add-On because it wasn't able to access our team's full resources and focus.

Speaking of which, one that has been majorly neglected (due to our old team format) was Deltabattles. For months now, it has been sitting in infancy due to our team splitting up work and not being able to focus entirely on it.

Since we want to do it justice, we have an announcement to make regarding Deltabattles.

We have changed the name to Deltatweaks. The reason for this change is because we don't want JUST Deltarune battles in this Add-On, we want to bring over a whole bunch of other Deltarune features. Such as it's grazing and spare percentage, among other things.

Deltabattles was already a major Add-On, but including a bunch of different Deltarune features outside of just battles, has made the Add-On dramatically change in scope. It could be as big as the base Undertale Plus project itself.

So while we can't say that Deltatweaks will be in the first release, we can say that it's future is bright.

In terms of other Add-Ons, there are a few that will be overhauled as well. We'll go more in depth on those Add-Ons at a later date.

Lots of 2nd passes!

Menus enter 2nd pass!

Based on our current teasers, you could probably already tell this, but menus in Undertale Plus are entering their 2nd pass. We've already showcased the new Title Screen in our last devlog, as well as the new Settings menu in this one. However, other menus are also receiving their 2nd pass, we'll be posting more of their progress in the future!

New Settings Menu!

Very much a work in progress, but in the screenshot above you can see our new Settings menu! The old one was very clunky, was really hard to navigate, and finding which Setting you wanted was extremely hard.

So we made this Settings menu! We believe this one is far more compact and way easier to find which specific Setting you want.

In fact, we're even planning on unlockable themes for the Settings menu in the future! That way it's not this basic and a lot more customizable. We'll talk about themes in the future once the Settings menu is more developed.

Colored Sprites 2nd pass almost done!

Colored Sprites are now finishing up their 2nd pass. There's only a few left. We haven't really shown many of them off in our devlogs so far, but once they are finished, we'll be showcasing new screenshots of the sprites on our GameJolt/Website as well as in devlogs. Once Colored Sprites are done, sprite artists will begin focusing on a 2nd pass for Battle Backgrounds.

Deltarune Chapter 3

Deltarune Chapter 3-4 are really close, and at the moment we don't know when they are going to be released.

Whatever the case, the reason we are mentioning this in our devlog, is that the release of Chapter 3 might change our approach to some content in Undertale Plus. It's likely that some vital team members, might become more busy once the Chapters release. Not to mention, some content that might appear in Chapter 3, might end up appearing in Undertale Plus as well.

At the moment, it is too early too tell. Who knows, maybe it won't even change anything. However, we wanted to bring this up just in case it does.

That's all for now! We'll continue updating you all monthly as we discuss our findings.

Normally these end with a joke....
