Big old TS!Underswap thoughtpost. Spoiler free :p

PROS

* It's really visually striking in almost every sense of the term. The areas are beautifully colored and the characters are all so well designed and the spritework is pretty fantastic. So many little character animations that bring the game to life. I like that the overworld sprites try to replicate the battle sprites, as opposed to the original Undertale that scaled down their designs into little low-pixel chibi things. It gives TS!US it's own visual identity which I appreciate.

* CHARACTER WRITING!!! Oh my god. The character writing. Oh my god? Probably the most in character Undertale fangame I've ever seen. Everything from the character interactions to the dialogue down to the humor feels like something Toby would authentically write. You'd think swapping everyone's roles around would make it difficult to keep the characters... in character, but actually it's astoundingly good. Toriel and Asgore have the same motives, but the difference here is that Asgore was banished to the ruins after waging war on humanity. Sans is a pretend superhero in a big old PR thing orchestrated by Papyrus. It's awesome. I give huge props to the character writing for those last two specifically. It works. You'd think an Underswap fangame would be horribly OOC but actually. It just works. it all works so well.

* Character writing+. There are loads of new characters that actually feel like monsters that could exist in the original game. There are two cartoon henchmen named Larry and Harry that are rivals to Crossbones and they are my absolute favorite of the new characters added. So many loveable characters here (which makes the No Mercy run all the more difficult... so props to TS.)

* Game mechanics. Lots of new game mechanics added. There's a journal that keeps track of the monsters you've encountered and how you've dealt with them, plus a collectibles menu and even a quest system. (The quests seem to be integrated into the morality system which is a really cool spin on the morality system of the original Undertale; the game even commends you for going out of your way to complete quests instead of barreling through areas! It makes me wonder how much of the "control" aspect is at play here.)

* The Human. The human has a lot of little character quirks and dialogue and animations that really make them such an endearing protagonist. I could talk about this character all day. Chara fans will love this one.

* Character writing. Mentioning it again. So good. Really good characters. Oh my god

CONS

* I dont even know

* The music is good but it's just kind of "good" when the rest of the game is so much more polished. I feel like there could be more... instruments in a lot of the songs. I don't know, I'm sure they were trying to replicate the chiptune style of Undertale music, but if they went through the trouble if changing up the art style then I'm not sure why they couldn't put a spin on the music style also, it kind of clashes with the theme. A very small complaint though. Muffet's battle music is so so catchy it's been stuck in my head.

* I dont know what else

* The No Mercy run is scary and it made me scared :scared:

* Sans is sidelined for this mysterious masked superhero guy named Crossbones?? Why'd they even bother putting Sans in the game. And who is this enigmatic Crossbones fellow...

* for real though i have very little complaints here its so so polished. Please please please play TS!IUnderswap i will dedicate the rest of my life trying to convince everyone to play it. It currently goes up to this universe's version of Waterfall but there's about 6 or 7 hours worth of content here already.

(WARNING: broken english, not my main laguage)

Also, special and high inspiration on: Miss Holoska(i write right, right?) With Underswap!MH and a but of Team Switched with TS!Underswap

So, you guys rembember me talking about how many takes of Underswap is out there but not many Underfell, well, guess what? I have a Underswap take

Character explanation

Chara: i made Chara design to look like how they look in the intro and flashback of Undertale, since i have a headcanon that Chara hair is like that because Chara didn't have time to brush their hair(why would they?), and so, the Dreemurs take care of them, and one time Chara have that hair that we see on genocide end(is just my headcanon), and since in this Underswap is the first time that Chara is in thr underground and not have time to brush their hair, i decided that should look like this, also, their personality depends of the routes, not only that but their personalities is just from the differents view of Undertale Chara, the neutral route, depending of what did Chara do, they have the personality that the "Neutral-Chara" believers think they have, the pacifist route, their personality can be either sarcastic, sassy, etc, to educated, angel, lawful good etc, and finally genocide, can be either sinlent, or, if Chara used cruel ACTs, can be the stereotype evil Chara

Sans: first of all, no, he is not a child, if was i could have drawed a stripe on his shirt, so, his clothes, is just thinked that his Undertale clothes are already perfect to exercice, so why change? The only thing that i changed was the sneakers with the shoes of Temmie Chang Sans concerpt art, and their hoodie with a scarf, he have a good relationship with Toriel like in Undertale, telling puns, talking about Papyrus, etc, the only people that know that Sans go talk to the queen is his brother, Mettaboo and Napstaton, but they doesn't mind and don't tell anyone, Sans doesn't use this as a excuse to enter the royal guard, he wants to enter with his skills(like Undertale Sans, he is just skilled, but not strong), he still have the shortcut, he like sci-fi and watched enough fiction movies to assume that Chara is a Time-Traveler, he, unlike Undertale Papyrus, actually is seen with Papyrus and his friends in some areas, however, if you killed someone, only Sans will be in other areas, he will say how his brother dissapeared after the battle bentween Chara and Sans, he doesn't kill you in pacifist and neutral, only captures you, but in genocide, he wants to do justice and he tries his best to kill you and he introduce his SECRET ATTACK, KARMA

Papyrus: i decided to just make he look different from his stereotype, well he is not drepessed like Undertale Sans, actually that bags on his eyes is because he suffer from insonnia, thats why he sleep many times, Sans not get angry about that, but, yes worried, since, unlike Undertale Sans thats just lazy, Papyrus suffer from insonnia and he have "other things" to treat and Sans is really worried about his younger brother, Papyrus doesn't mind puns, unless that too many, well, Papyrus is kind and sweet outside and doesn't want the people worry about him, he will not hate the person if killed someone like "you demon" but will be highly dissapointed, he will only hate you if you kill his brother, if Chara killed someone, he will no longer appear after Sans battle and only reappear in the judgement hall, he, unlike Sans, doesn't believe that The Fallen Human is some time-traveller and think thaf just Sans crazy imagination, but he notices that the Human act strange sometimes, he never made the promise to protect a human, in pacifist, he is just fine with Chara and never treath them about they "would be dead where they stand", in neutral, if any other monster was killed, he will be just disappointed, and if Sans was killed, he doesn't kill you because he will not be any better than you, but in genocide, the hate was so much that he take action, he is way stronger than Sans, both in attacks and status, but doesn't have karma, however, he is weaker than Undertale Papyrus because he not train and not sleep very well, but he have one thing that Undertale Papyrus doesn't have, the will to end you, he have bone attacks, have blue magic and blue attacks, he also use Gaster Blaster, however they eyes are angry cartoonish eyes, but if you could see, you would have a chill on the spine

Alphys: i always imagined a Alphys battle with a mecha, so instead of her being a close-combat warrior, she wears a mecha made by Undyne as a gift, the armor have a lighting canon and a robotic axe(with lighting aspect, yes, lighting will be exclusive to Alphys in this AU), she will not have a Undying form, but will use a upgrade of her armor that more hard, Alphys doesn't talk so much and not have a explosive personality, she is also not rude, but once that you make friendship with her, she shows her good side, she is a kind and sweet person, that just want the best to the people, she really like anime and loves Undyne, in battle, she uses her mecha and make you soul yellow, that is similar to Undertale, however she gives you a powerful teaser that you use to defend yourself from attacks, but you can use to overcharge her charge shot to make her mecha arm explode, after the two arms are destroyed, she will use a attavk that open their mecha torso reaviling the core, than you use all the enerhy of the teaser to stop the machine, than you can spare her or give the final blow, while she is inconsience, you can date her with Papyrus to be friends, the date involves you draw anime and watch anime, she is akward at first because she think that Chara doesn't like her, however, you can turn the tables and be really good friends, however, if you killed someone, instead of Papyrus, Sans will be in the front of the door to visit her, then he notices Chara and ask if you also want to pay a visit, and this version, Sans and Alphys go to her room to talk, Chara stay in the kitchen, than Sans go out, then the date with Alphys start, she is kinda reluctant in this version and in the end she doesn't really see you as a friend

Asgore: he is the one that stated that every human would die, however, Toriel banned them from the capital and he insolated himself in the ruins, he still the kind and good fluffy king from Undertale, i don't have much thing to talk about him

Undyne: even if US! Undyne hair is canon in Undertale, i decided that is just a pony tail, or, sometimes, a messy hair(without a pony tail), she is more determined than Undertale Alphys and go out more to visit Papyrus and his brother, she made Napstaton body and she like anime way more than Undertale Undyne, she knows that anime is not real, but, with her determination, she made robots, armors, etc, Napstaton is the only robot with soul, and is way stronger than that robots, this robots onoy follow their progamation ans don't give EXP, she upgrade Chara's chellphone and turn it into a deluxe U-phone, that phone have pretty much the same things from Undertale Alphys Cellphone, but, instead of a yellow mode, it have a "Cyan mode", in the cyan mode, the soul turn cyan, pressing Z make the soul make a really fast tackle that destroy or react some attacks, if missed the timing or used and doesn't hit nothing, the soul get way slower, so, be PATIENCE

Mettaboo(mettaton): He is not shy or melancolic like Undertale Napstablook, in the truth, he want to perform and be the famous star in the underground, he tries things like tearthes, pilot progams, etc.., but not many people like it, but he is not giving up! He doesn't attack using robots or lighting, but attack with things like flowers, other things that resemble, magic shows, cook lessons, pose, etc, he is cousin of Napstaton and he knows that they are cousins

Napstaton(Napstablook): they is the most famous musician on the underground, making sometimes collabs, music videos, etc.. they makes songs to progams, cartoons, games, etc.. but they is pretty shy, and have a TON(fingerguns) of fans not really help with their mental health, sometimes Undyne and mettaboo to giving them moral support, in thrir battle, the Cyan mode is really necessary, is a rythm battle, the objective is make a good song until have 10000 hearts, but, in genocide, they will truly battle you and use the whole area to attack you, and their "NEO" form is called Sonical Napstaton

Asriel: he is swappes with Mosnter kid, in this universe, he is not related in any way with the dreemurs, he have a more important role in this AU in pacifist, a little in neutral, but don't appear in genocide, Asriel have the same exact personality of his Undertale counterpart, he first appear when Chara ended up sliding in a endless ice path and ended up failing in some special crystal colors flowers, Asriel heard the sound of somebody grunting and he ended up founding Chara, and he heal them, he help them in some puzzles and guide them till Springout(Snowdin swap), then Chara can visit him in the local park, the two can go for the Muffet Café, the library, etc, after that, Chara gains Asriel phone number, if doing pacifist, Asriel can be found in other places since theres not "mysterious murders" going on, he normally will appear next to save points areas, because feel some sensation(determination)

Toriel: She is the queen of the Underground, almost everyone fear her, but, in the end, she just some poor old lady that have a whole kingdom to take care, have lost her two children, and their husband "is a horrible creature" to her, when encoutering her for the first time, she is silent at first, then proceeds to talk about all that her have face while walking to the barrier, she doesn't use anything to attack except their magic, she only attack Chara because Chara doesn't want to go away from her, making her feel guilty

Frisk and Monster Kid: [NO DATA FOUNDED]

So thats all that i have now about my Underswap, i tried to make the designs to look like their original counterparts and use almost the same style of clothes of the original Undertale, thats all, please, don't steal this idea,

Special thanks to: Miss Holoska and Team Switched, they are my inspiration to do this Underswap

I recall seeing a popular fan game involving a genocide Papyrus battle for TS!UnderSwap. I remember in the second phase, Papyrus no longer believes that the human can be good, which made me dislike it. I was wondering if this game had any possible connections to the real TS!UnderSwap?

Nope. That fan-game does not reflect the official canon of TS!Underswap, nor will the official game’s Papyrus genocide battle be similar to it.

Here's the thing: The only after-effect of Asriel committing a true reset is that he also switched the six souls, establishing that every change made from UT to IF has to rely on the swaps and their wants of a nail. It's a take.

No. If Inverted Fate is a “take” on anything, it’s just the role swap genre, which again, exists independently of Underswap.To make another example:My KH fic series, Antipode, takes a common what-if of Riku being the protagonist. It is NOT the first fic to explore this concept. That does not make it a “take” on other fics with that premise- because I deliberately avoided reading those fics so that I could do my own thing and develop my own ideas without being influenced by what came before. If it’s a take on anything, it’s a take on the general idea of the Keybearer Riku what-if.IF shares a small portion of Underswap’s placements... but they aren’t even placements that Underswap invented or has sole ownership to. When UT was new, I saw tons of fanworks swapping Sans and Papyrus, and sometimes Undyne and Alphys and Toriel and Asgore. And that’s just it- the most blatant pair dynamics in a fandom are always gonna be ripe for the picking. For instance: Lillie and Gladion swap AUs, Sonic and Shadow swapping, Aang and Zuko, Seven and Garnet/Amethyst/Pearl with Connie and Jasper/Peridot/Lapis. I’ve seen multiple interpretations of these ideas independent from each other.But Underswap is a swap of as many characters as possible. Temmie and Flowey, Grillby and Muffet, BP and Nice Cream, and MTT and Blook are all front and center in the official art for the AU. Frisk and Chara, Asriel and MK, and Bratty and Catty are still known and popular swaps, too. All of which are iconic to Underswap and present in nearly every Underswap take. Some of which are super bizarre, like Tem and Flowey, and thus unique to that AU and deliberately absent from IF- because I didn’t want it to be Underswap. I started work on IF because I thought it’d be fun to have a mad scientist Undyne bounce off of Mettaton and have Papyrus as her lab assistant, while simultaneously helping Frisk and the conflict that would entail. Then the idea developed from there, with me wanting to include the failed pacifist elements SUPER early on into the AU’s development as well as the Frisk and Papyrus friendship. Having six “swaps” was deliberate due to that- six swaps, six Lost Souls. I was aware of Underswap’s existence, but I specifically wanted to avoid doing what Uswap did because I felt it was antithetical to building a story-based AU that has swaps in it. Because the more pieces you move around, the more you have to justify and explain as well as take into account the effects of that character being there. For a story-driven fanwork, you can get away with even a single swap and have everything else change as a result. Storyshift had ten. I went with six. And the lack of personality swapping was due to my dislike of personality swaps in role swapping even before UT- like, when I started planning Antipode in 2007, I specifically wanted to keep Riku true to his KH1 personality.And the thing is, IF owes way more to Storyshift and my previous work on Antipode than it does Underswap. Storyshift was what inspired me to take the sprite comic format it started and give it my own spin. I started developing IF as a concept in October 2015, but other than some story ideas and character sketches, I wasn’t sure how I was gonna tell that story until I saw Storyshift’s approach.

There were a handful of other sprite comics starting up then- but one thing I noticed is that a lot of the maps were unchanged, things like the long hallway and training dummy were basically unchanged. A lot of this was due to it being a fledgling form of storytelling in the comic as well as the amount of work it takes to make those kinda changes, but I wanted to have fun with it, which is why I made changes like all the map edits in the Ruins, the comic pages, Frisk talking, a party member... These were all me just doing things I wanted to do that would make the comic fun and help put my own personal stamp on this type of AU.So when people declare that my work is a take and disregard the months of planning and care that went into the project, it’s extremely disrespectful. Doubly so when they drag my friends and their project through the mud. And this has been a recurring problem with Team Switched, ever since the freakin’ #NotMySwapSans drama years ago.It’s toxic. It’s rude. It does not show support of either project. Never mind that it becomes a pretty slippery slope when you look at other projects.I have seen other AUs that have a few character positions in common with other AUs- for instance, Undermyth and Jumbletale both had Papyrus in the “Sans” role. Undermyth and Sudden changes both had Asriel in the “Toriel” role. I know of at least two AUs with Muffet as Toriel and two with Alphys as Toriel. Taleshift had Asgore and Toriel as Papyrus and Sans, as do Altered Destiny and Altertale.That does not make these AUs “takes” of each other. Roleswap is just a broad genre you can do a lot with. In my fifteen years of being in fandoms, it has always been one of THE most popular genres. By that logic, Underswap is a “take” on the droves of Bloodswap AUs in the Homestuck fandom... when I highly doubt that was the direct inspiration.Anyway, to my followers- sorry about this rant. This has been going on for a VERY long time, with multiple people hounding myself and TS about our works.Any further asks like this will just get deleted- I just wanted to go into more detail on the thought processes that went into planning the AU and my own experiences in fandom leading up to it.

What's your favorite underswap takes?

There are many good ones out there. However, there are many. In fact, it has become sort of a thing to make fun of how many there are. Some “Underswap AUs” are even made to do just that. Some are good though, and here are my favorites.

Mamarswap Mamarswap is simply just Mamar12′s version of Underswap. I have no idea if they’re still working on that AU, but it was fun while it lasted. If I’m not wrong, Chara, Asgore, Papyrus and Sans were the only ones who got a design. I would have LOVED to see what they could have done with the other characters, but I guess we will just have to see.

Fazyswap Also known as just Underswap btw. If I am not mistaken, this AU is ment to follow the more tratitional Underswap AU that Popcornpr1nce made. Still, from what they have released, it seems promising. The OST is a banger too, my favorites would be Dreemur Castle, ASGORE and Bereavement. All I can say is that I look forward for what’s to come.

TS! Underswap We can’t talk about Underswap takes and not mention TS! Underswap. It is an ambitious project with many dedicated people working on it. They’re doing a great job over there too, might I add! Whenever I see new content from them, I’m often in shock thinking; “That was a genious idea!”, because their team has a TON of creativity. Did I also mention that this is going to be a GAME? That is just wild. The few demo teasers that they have released are fun to watch and gets you really intrested in what they’re presenting. I could write more, but I will leave it saying that it only get’s better and better!

Swapped Personas This is an Underswap AU by a friend of mine, Nova. He is a cool dude with a nice set of tricks up his sleeve. He brings a whole bucketload of originality to the table. It is honestly inspiring. So far it has 3 parts out if I am not mistaken. That is three parts of writen content, although I hope that we can make it into a sprite comic in the future. I say we because I am a spriter for the AU. So mabye my oppinion is biased, then why take my word for it? Check it out yourself!

Separate Simulation OK, if you REALLY want a biased oppinion, then you should listen to this. Because Separate Simulation is my own take on Underswap. Yep, even I have jumped on the bandwagon. Although it sort of started back in the early days of the fandom and died pretty quickly too. However the AU was resurected about half a year ago I think? So now I’m making a comic for it and everything. It isn’t my main AU though so it doesn’t get many updates. But yeah, I’m just testing out my creativity and trying to make something good and entertain people in the prosess.

That is all I can think of, I hope that this satisfies your question anon! If you want to check out any of these AUs, click on the bold AU names and it should take you somewhere you can learn more about the AU.

If you have any other questions/requsest for me, don’t be shy to go to https://vuristwo.tumblr.com/ask and shoot me something.

I hope you have a wonderfull day! -Vuristo

What is your favorite Papyrus megalo? My favorite is androphonovania.

I don’t know, I have a ton of favorite but if I had to make a Top 5, it would probably look like this:

(Keep in mind that my taste in music might be slightly terrible so keep that in mind, )

5.) TERALOVANIA III

https://soundcloud.com/benyic03/underswap-teralovania-iii

Nice and catchy, it comes really REALLY close to matching the charm that Megalovania had. It’s pretty good but sadly not on the Top 3.

4.) Androphonovania

https://soundcloud.com/3xreamed/azunderswap-androphonovania-unused-ost-version-by-doctorine

Yes this song is going Unused according to the Integrity Devs but love of god, the beginning melody, the intensity of this song that makes you get so excited, It’s great.

3.) Striking the Demon Down

https://soundcloud.com/sasterdastickyman/underswap-striking-the-demon-down-updated-for-the-very-last-time-strikelovania

Very few people I’ve met actually thinks this is song that was meant for Undertale Revenge and not Underswap, when in reality it’s the other way around, anyway I love this sound to how catchy and atmospheric it all is to me. I was arguing with myself as to if I wanted to put Androphonovania here or not, but I made a decision and it’s at the number three spot of the list.

2.) ...WHY?! https://youtu.be/jCdr99CvhPQ

“...WHY?!” is a bit of a weird one on here since It’s a FAN SONG for Inverted Fate (Nothing More) and Inverted Fate doesn’t fit the Underswap Theme I’m going with here, I’m sorry but I LOVE listening this song and I’m putting this song this list cuz it’s my list.

1.) Misfortune https://soundcloud.com/alexyus-131596075/ts-underswapmisfortunedreems-takeextended

FREAKING MISFORTUNE!!!! Yes Misfortune is similar to “...Why?!” as in this is a FAN SONG made by a Former Member of Team Switched (AKA TS! Underswap) but, I don’t care, I love everything about this song, The Melody, the Atmosphere, and the Different Covers people have made, I chose Dreem’s Take of Misfortune since this song along with the Team UNIZONE Fangame (Not made by Team Switched) is the very thing that got me into making me own Underswap Take.

Welp, that’s my list that nobody asked me to make. Your Welcome.

And now spoiler-y TS!US thoughts

I actually mostly just want to talk about the character writing for Sans and Papyrus because they are my favorite characters and my heart flutters when fancontent does them right. Ok first of all

Sans is scary :scared:

I feel like Sans is a character that has lost a lot of his edge when it comes to fancontent. What makes Sans intimidating is the fact that you don't see it coming when he's being serious with you; it's meant to catch you off guard. But nowadays everyone and their mom knows about Sans' secret super powerful scary side in the Undertale No-Mercy Run... and it doesn't have that same bite when fancontent tries to portray him as threatening.

TS!Underswap Sans is a very, very well done subversion of that. He comes right out of the gate letting you know that he hunts down bad people, and that he's not afraid to mess you up if you decide to do messed-up things. And you think that he's talking about his superhero persona, and he's putting on an act for you, but then you do a No Mercy run and find out that he is being 100% serious. You knew it was coming and yet it still blindsides you when he actually decides to hunt you down for being a weirdo murderer. It doesn't feel out of character and it doesn't feel unearned; Sans is a hero, and he will do what a hero needs to do. In every sense of the word.

Writing him to be a superhero was a really genius choice. You can have him be his normal lazy slacker self when he's out of costume, and therefore he can fill in Papyrus' role a la Underswap without it feeling OOC, because he's acting. But as I just pointed out--... he's not acting. He is, but he's not. He's an enigma of a guy, and you never know when you're supposed to be taking him seriously, and THAT is the mark of a very good Sans characterization.

Papyrus... we don't actually know that much about, I feel. I really wish I had more to say about him, but I think the fact that I don't makes it work all the more. He takes Sans' role, so it's sort of a given that he's mysterious. He's an inventor, too! What a fun little callback to Undertale Papyrus and all of those little gadgets he made.

His No Mercy characterization is really, really interesting. Despite taking Sans' role, he still comes at you with utmost compassion and understanding-- and it just makes me wonder all the more how everything will play out. I feel like NM final boss Papyrus is so, so often mischaracterized-- people write him as way too willing to fight, way too willing to get vengeance. That's not him! Papyrus is the one person who will stick with you to the end, and always believe that you can be better-- and dropping him into Sans' role with that in mind could be so so SO interesting! I have the utmost faith in Team Switched to do something clever here.

Also, Papyrus' reaction to Sans' death was heartbreaking.

Changing the subject, in this universe-- Frisk and Monster Kid take the role of the first fallen human and Asriel, respectively. I really, really doubt that Frisk has any ties to Chara's soul in this universe in the same way that Frisk and Chara were connected in Undertale. In fact, I have a good feeling that Frisk and MK were reincarnated into Flowey and Temmie, respectively.

Flowey specifically talks in a very neutral, unwavering tone. They don't have any strong opinions on any route you choose to take, and they'll follow and help you out regardless. They're outwardly friendly but also unsubtlely sarcastic and detatched. Kind of what we get from Frisk, using the very minuscule characterization given to us.

Also, I feel like Flowey being genderless in this universe is pretty significant. Haha.

I think that's all I have to say for right now. I didn't mean for Sans to take up half of this post-- in fact, I didn't really like his character until I played the NM route... and then everything clicked. Such good character writing
