Here’s that SoonTM update about things you probably already know about.

Woah hey hey guys. It’s been uhmm... A really long time, huh... Hope you’ve all been doing well. 

So... Where to even start? I want to say that not a single day has gone by without me thinking about this project in some capacity. I’m my friend group’s Dungeon Master and I’ve included characters from Sudden Changes in some capacity throughout the roleplays I’ve run. The Followers, Spout, so on. I’ve always wanted to come back to this project someday. 

Since the last update I have graduated college, started my full time job, and trans’d my gender. So the peep you used to know as <REDACTED> is now known by as Nora. I also have been working on my art skills, writing, programing, learning guitar, and so on. I’ve had my ups. I’ve had my downs. And I’ve been living my life. And that means I haven’t been actively working on Sudden Changes. 

Sudden Changes was always envisioned as a form of side sequel to Undertale, exploring how familiar yet foreign characters would interact with each other and the events that unfold from that. And Deltarune does that in ways I could never imagine. Playing it was an experience. It felt like pure creative liberation. For lack of better words, it was beautiful. To this day I can say earnestly and with full conviction that... 

My love for Undertale has never faded. My love for Deltarune has never faded. My love for Sudden Changes has never faded.

I have no idea what Deltarune’s impact on Sudden Changes will be. So, I’m comfortable waiting until Deltarune is fully released before picking this project back up. 

I’ve met so many wonderful people through the Undertale AU community, people who I interact with even to do this day. Seeing Sudden Changes fan content get millions of views on Youtube, that awesome vs. Sans animation, and so on, I am really honored to have been the recipient of your support, excitement, and so many other positive emotions. And I hope to be that person again in the future-- But this project isn’t what I need for my creative aspirations, right now.

So if you’re wondering, “Nora, if that’s the case... What are you doing right now? I actually liked your personality, creativeness, and way of thinking outside of what I saw in Sudden Changes. As a creative. I want to follow whatever you end up doing!!” which I honestly doubt you’re thinking... But thanks if you actually are having those kinds of thoughts! I’ve been a Vtuber for a year and a half now lol. Bet you weren’t expecting that. If you want to follow my new blog you can at @extraordinora​ and at https://www.twitch.tv/extraordinora. Feel free to hop in and ask any questions about Sudden Changes, or find out what other creative things I’ve been apart of since, like my friend @pinewsun​‘s PENTA CLVSH project which you can watch on Youtube at https://youtu.be/NW6aHKt7ZsE.

So I think that was about everything I had in mind to say. You’ll definitely hear from me about this project again. Thank you.

- Nora

Do you think Deltarune Chapter 2 is going to affect Sudden Changes (either in terms of gameplay or character) majorly? Or are you set on doing your own thing?

God. Just finished Chapter 2 and what a trip. I’ve been meaning to make a longer post on the current state of things, what my plans are, and so much more. I haven’t really looked at my tumblr in a long time out of feeling a sense of guilt for this project and my overall running low on energy. It blows my mind on some of the concept art I have for Sudden Changes that lines up completely with Deltarune stuff and what doesn’t. I think that’s just an incredible thing.

Update Soon TM.

ChristmAUs 2020 is here!

It has been a year since the previous ChristmAUs, and this year, it comes bigger than ever before! Featuring a staggering 224 characters (not counting most snowmen), this has been one of the biggest collaborative projects I’ve ever done! 

However, I of course didn’t do this picture alone, so let us move into giving people their credits.

(Adding it as an addendum, do not repost the picture by itself.)

Now, the credits are arranged in “submissioner / AU” instead of the usual merely crediting the artist or AU. Here we go!

Credits below the cut.

Part 2. Let’s do this! So what if it’s a day or two late! We’re doing it live!

This post is intended to go over some of the design decisions as Premonition development continued.

If you remember in the last post, I mentioned that I had originally intended for there to not be any battles at all. With that, that meant no random encounters. Personal preference, but I am not going to make any lasting efforts to emulate the Deltarune battle system and UI. This is an Undertale Fangame first and foremost, not a Deltarune one. 

At first I thought about having the random encounters be a sort of “beta” Darkners, maybe something that by the time of Undertale and thus Sudden Changes they would be extinct??? The shadow of the forest’s canopy might have served as a psuedo-dark world???? These are super loose concepts and not things I am building upon because the answer was painfully obvious when I realized it. What do you encounter in an untamed woods? Animals.

Also referenced in the last post was the change in scale with overworld sprites for different scale areas. 

A key thematic theme in Premonition is the river that comes from the mountain top. And so with that the Riverperson has become relevant in Premonition’s story.

Some sprites have also been updated overtime, here’s Squashbert for example! I felt like his old head looked more like an apple then the pumpkin it was supposed to be.

For the entire time Premonition has been in development, it only has had one track by MrEpicIsHere777, https://soundcloud.com/mrepicishere777/sc-its-a-beautiful-day-outside. Goblin Guard has been proudly working on the OST as its main musician, here is a new track- Leafdrift! The music for the first sub-area of Premonition. https://soundcloud.com/goblin-guard/utg-sudden-changespremonition-ost-leafdrift

And now for the last part of this post, battlesprite made by @tmntleo15​

I managed to put together a team of talented individuals, and they have done some amazing stuff. I hope you look forward to the third post.

Right at the start of the year this blog reached 1,000 followers. To me that is just insane, and I never expected to get this far. Even when I went silent starting from the start of the year, nearly an additional hundred people have followed also. To all of you, I salute you, and I want you to know that I appreciate it. I wouldn't be doing this without you.

If you've kept up with this blog, you will know that there have been times where I may disappear for months without posting much or any content. This comes from a variety of factors, lack of motivation, college, work, the current pandemic, and so on. Recently for the past months I have been trying to improve my art, and just ended up frustrated when I felt that I wasn't getting better. I know it's kind of silly to get torn up over the quality of sprites for a fangame which is supposed to be a passion project, but compared to others in the community I just felt inadequate in what I was capable of doing. 

However, while I may have not been working on things full steam ahead, progress has been made. The reason I waited at first to post the 1,000 followers post at the start of the year was that I wanted to have something to announce in the first place. In March, MrEpicIsHere777, the person who has allowed me to use their Undertale Engine used in their Storyswap: Color Asriel fight, completely remade it with new features.

The text system was changed to a more case by case individual format, instead of everything being stored in a giant script. I felt this will be vital to my writing style as I won't have to redo all the indexes manually when I change a line due to it being too long or if it needs to be changed.

The second, and most important change, was the inclusion of a complete battle system. It may seem silly to imagine, but for the entire lifecycle of Premonition, I intended there to not be a SINGLE bullet hell battle. The reason? I didn't believe I had the coding ability while working on the measly amounts of content that I was able to. Call it sloth if you will. I won't argue with that.

And the third and equally as important change was, moving from Gamemaker 1.4 to Gamemaker 2. That's a big one. Based on the additional features that Epic has included, I'm certain that it will be worth it.

I believe this time has been essential for me reaching the ideal of what Premonition should be creatively. Just looking at the before and after of the same room speaks for itself.

For those of you that remember that video I posted all that time ago with Asgore and Clovis walking through the forest, it was important to have the trees be striking, and looking at the tileset I was using, created by Frigadae, the regular trees were just too small. The buildings were also closer to the scale of the trees, and the person meant to live in them was actually  taller than the actual door. I showed off the minisprites briefly in the previous update post, but they will be used a lot more than I originally intended when making them. 

This post is intended to serve as an explanation of how things have been going so far development wise, and is the 1st post in a 3 post chain. The next post will be done tomorrow and will focus on graphics and the art of Premonition and Sudden Changes. if you have any additional questions feel free to send in an ask.

Hola no se hablar mucho inglés pero .e gustaría saber si el AU sigue en progreso

It still is! I’ve been working in the background on stuff and still have that 1000 follower post to finish. My finals are within the next 2 weeks so I am focusing on those. Due to the current pandemic right now I am the only one in my family with a job, so everything has been very stressful.

Howdy, seeing as how the discord link kinda expired, could you perhaps upload another link?

Apologizes!

Sorry guys, I’m behind on the post and will be working late tomorrow. My new goal is the weekend.

Holy hell! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this moment when I realized the blog was edging close, and have been trying to get a post ready but I was just blindsided with how fast it came!

First things first that I want to say is, I got my first drawing tablet and have been learning how to use it.

Here is a WIP of a bigger post to really celebrate this, which I plan to post by Friday as a “state of the project”. The goal will be to explain how Sudden Changes has changed from its beginnings fundamentally, why I made some of the decisions I did, and more. 

Thank you all so much for your support over the years and I hope you’ll be willing to continue to do so.

If you’re wondering why I would reblog  this, it’s because I like this person’s art and had a really fun time with this game they made. There is no dialogue and all the main menu words are in English so you don’t have to worry about it being only for Japanese speakers.

I got 20 Triangles and 2 of the parts, but unfortunately my computer reloaded the tab and I lost all my progress. If you find out how to get the item in the 1st slot, please tell me I’d love to see the ending of this myself!

im confused,when is the new comic part coming,im sure we have not had one in years

You’re not the first person to ask that and to be honest if you haven’t kept up with things on the blog it might seem difficult to go through all the posts. 

I’m going to make a post explaining the state of things very soon to try to help out with that.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

As usual, I come here with the yearly ChristmAUs picture, however, this time I didn’t do it alone! A lot of people contributed sprites to this, so they’ll proceed to be credited below!

Introducing: TS!Underswap - Demo Teaser #3!

As part of a Christmas present, we have a lot of content packed into this one!

(Make sure to check out our latest devlog, too! We have a bunch of new content there, including new music, new art, and new locations!)

[ut-sudden-changes]

why did a lot of people say that the game is canceled?

No idea! I guess someone is accidentally spreading misinformation :p

[ut-sudden-changes]

did the game canceled?

The game is still being made! Don’t worry about that!

These past few posts are to have content on the blog while the game is being made instead of having just radio silence for periods of time. You get to see some world building / designs while I get to practice writing the character. It’s a win win!

The blog is also nearing 1000 followers so expect something “big” for when that happens.

SC Event #1: Papyrus makes his way towards an important meeting.

Papyrus stands in front of the Itsy & Bitsy headquarters entrance where despite being located in the city of Reindence, where emerald thunderstorms reign supreme, not a single drop of water lands on his body. The glass door lacks any handles and Papyrus assumes that the door had to be automatic or needed to be opened by the receptionist at the front desk needed to press a button.

Papyrus attempts to attract the spider madam. Her eyes flicker a quick peek at his direction but after not being able to find anything interesting she returns to reading her newspaper.  Papyrus continues his attention grabbing techniques, including such hidden moves of passionate hand waving and wearing a big smile on his face! He exaggerly points at the door and nods. Muffet looks his way again, then flips another page in the newspaper she was reading. Papyrus just gives up and goes through the door. The receptionist now had her eyes on him, her multiple eyes. 

M: Huhuhuhu~! 

I've never seen someone phase their way in before!

You've gained my attention!~

P: I DID NOT WANT TO BE A BOTHER.

YOU OBVIOUSLY SEEMED BUSY WITH THAT NEWSPAPER!

PERHAPS TROUBLE WITH A DIFFICULT GAME OF CROSSWORDS?

PERPLEXED BY THE FUN TO BE FOUND IN THE FUNNIES?

M: Oh no dearie, nothing like that.

P: I GUESS IT NEVER REALLY MATTERED.

WHAT DOES MATTER IS THIS!

I AM HERE FOR AN APPOINTMENT, WITH MR. WASSAR.

M: Ah, yes! Surely...

Are you a....

Clyde?

P: CLOSE.

IF YOU COMPLETELY THREW OUT THE ALPHABET, AND THEN TRIED TO PICK IT UP. 

LIKE A CHILD WHO BREAKS A VASE AND TRIES TO GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

M: ...

I sadly don't see a second name here...

Itsy & Bitsy employees by contract are required to use force to remove unwanted assets.

[ The giant Spider Cupcake bursts through a wall with a giant WWWWAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLLL]

But I'm sure we can reach a deal, dearie...

[The camera zooms in on Muffet’s face, much ominous. wow.]

We wouldn't want to make things messy~!

Janitorial services are so costly in a work environment where every cent counts...

[The camera returns to normal, and Papyrus is seen affectionately petting the giant Spider Cupcake]

W-what?!

[ The Spider Cupcake is now lying on their back, Papyrus rubbing their belly. Affectionate sounds come from the giant Spider Cupcake.]

P: WHAT A LOVELY PET.

I HELP TAKE CARE OF MY BROTHER'S OWN PET ROCK,

SO IF YOU ARE EVER IN NEED OF PET SITTING I THINK I CAN REALLY GET ALONG WITH THIS ONE.

DON'T YOU THINK SO, EH???? DON'T YOU THINK SO??????

[ The Spider Cupcake chomps in approval ]

SAME TO YOU...!

GIANT... 

SPIDER CUPCAKE THING...!

[ Muffet facepalms and is obviously disappointed in the weakness of her guard. She just presses a button hidden on her desk and an elevator door opens. ]

M: Just... Go on ahead...

The boss likely just forget to write your name down!

There seems to be a lot of things that he forgets about around here...

[ Papyrus walks into the elevator, the giant Cupcake tries to squeeze in to follow but can't fit in. ]

Augh! Baby no!

P: DON'T WORRY YOUNG MADAM, BY CHANCE THERE IS AN EMERGENCY LADDER.

AND BY THE ELEVATOR'S WEIGHT LIMIT, I THINK NOW WOULD BE AN EMERGENCY.

I SHALL SIMPLY CLIMB ALL THE WAY TO WHERE I NEED TO BE.

M: But the boss is on the 43rd floor!

P: A SMALL TASK FOR ONE WHO HAS ALREADY CLIMBED HIS WAY TO GREATNESS.

[ End Scene. ]

This is an idea I had for content I could post on the blog along with asks for character building as production happens in the background. The Deltarune Chapter 2 post was essentially a test for that formula and it’s reception has flown with flying colors.

If there are any character interactions you’d like to see or some scenarios feel free to send in asks with who you’d like to see! However, this stuff is only going to be in world. By that I mean no OCs, alternate AU versions, and other things not apart of SC canon.
