Hello, MrEpic here. Now that I’ve finally gotten the chance to calm down from all the reception and such from the game, I’d like to discuss the future of the battle, and maybe a little about the AU itself. So, without further a due, let’s jump right in.

First off, there will be a patch within the next few weeks! The following changes will occur in 1.1:

• Lightning attacks nerfed

• Big Fire attacks nerfed

• Attack 10 nerfed/revamped

• Options menu

• Other minor bug fixes and tweaks

• Updated “designs” code + some slight graphical tweaks (Frisk, Room before the Throne)

• ???? functions slightly revamped

The options menu is a very important addition IMO, so here are the following features of it:

• V-Sync. It will be on by default to possibly fix some black screen issues, and also generally improve your graphics HOWEVER, it may slow down the game. It’s up to you to choose its worth.

• Controls. You are not able to change the controls, however, it will show you a list of controls. I’ve noticed that people didn’t realize shifting to slow down was a feature in the original Undertale, and it is very helpful in this game.

• Volume. There’ll be options to reduce the volume of both the music and sound effects to your liking. This is very useful for dubs, if you plan on any of those.

• x2. If fullscreen bugs out for you but you still need a larger display, this will scale the game window up for you to two times as big (1280 x 960 vs 640 x 480). This may change to a Resolution feature instead, but we will see how well it goes first.

The next changes are for post-game:

• ????. For those who have beat the game, you probably saw the four question marks on the menu. This will be moved to the options menu.

• Extras. The extras menu will allow you to enable a few options, one of which will be discussed below. The list is:

  1. One HP Mode

  2. Colored Battle Sprite Mode

  3. Expert Mode

Ah yes, expert mode. First off, I’d like to say; Expert Mode may be delayed for 1.2 instead of 1.1. I haven’t decided just yet, as it requires slightly more work than a simple variable as you’ll see in a moment. So every bug will be fixed first and every attack needing nerfing will get that first, and yada yada.
Expert Mode is the same game, except a few minor differences. Your invincibility frames are halved and Asriel’s attack power is doubled. The attacks, however stay the same speed and patterns.

Oh, and there’s also another part of expert mode. Can’t talk about it yet since it’s not totally finalized, but I can share a very WIP mockup of Asriel:

Well that it’s for now! Happy murdering!

P.S. You can ask me any questions about the game and AU, most will be answered.
