Well! There is a post here!

After a .. very hectic week, I am finally back with some more news! After a productive few days coding, I'm pleased to say that progress on the game proper has begun! At least, a little bit of it, anyway :D

What's New?:

• Seven new rooms built in the starting area!
• Murder and Pacifist consequences
• Rudimentary puzzles!
• NPC functionality and implementation
• More world flags that make the world feel more alive and reponsive, as well as a global "plot" flag for main beats!
• Lighting ... ?

What's Coming Up?:

• Improved collision, sound effects, and hopefully more soundtrack!
• Implementation of story-specific cutscenes
• Several bug fixes, including one that makes the lights in the windows look like the entire Underground simultaneously started having a rave.
• Improved animation/look of certain sprites, as well as revamping some old ones from Undertale!
• Fixing a very strange, specific bug where my save points have decided to become my mortal enemy

Overall?

I'm really pleased with how development has been going recently! All going well, I feel confident that with this pace, I may actually have something workable to start super-mega beta-testing it!! Of course, slow and steady - the last thing I want is a poorly finished product!

Persevere!
