Hey there! Welcome to the RuneTale dev blog, the prequel, to, well, Undertale. I will update this post with the latest news as well as screenshots and changelogs.
A playable demo will probably be coming sometime in the future as well. Unfortunately, this isn’t as easy to test as a game like Concussion is, but I’ll see what I can do.
I've been working on this for a little while, but I haven't had anything too concrete up until now, so I was waiting to share until I knew that I was gonna go through with this.
Let's do this.

About
RuneTale is the prequel to the game Undertale. In it, you will explore the first fallen child's side of the story and what exactly went on down in the underground before Frisk showed up. Details will be expanded upon later.

FAQ:
Jeeeeeeeez not another Undertale fan game.
That wasn’t a question at all. :|
Jeeeeeeeez not another Undertale fan game?
Yes.
The hell is up with the title?
What, you mean how come it's not white? Is the site's background black? I didn't think so. Don't worry, it'll be 'normal' in game.
Multiple endings like Undertale?
Definitely. We're gonna have something called the 'flapyourears' ending. Sound cool?
Easter eggs?
Hell yes. A whole bunch of them. In fact, there are already tons of easter eggs in the game, and we're building the game with secrets in mind.
Mac support?
Yep.
Where's the demo?
Coming soon.
Who are you making this with?
A talented pixel artist, who might show up later, and another talented writer/creative ideas-ist-er. If that's a thing.
Gameplay length?
Around an hour. I'm not looking to make a second Undertale, but I also want some quality in the game.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I know I've probably forgot something somewhere.

And, remember that this is all early previews of stuff.

Just kidding, just kidding. I had fun with your "Concussion" game (It was brutally hard) so I can't wait to play this one.

Thanks Zero. ;)

I'll make sure I don't disappoint!

I also plan to post a video tomorrow or the next day explaining what's done and what still needs to be done. Hopefully this won't take as long as Concussion did.

*EDIT* Check your PMs.

*EDIT A Second Time* I don't think I have to mention this, but this will not be released on stickpage for, well, obvious reasons. XD

Not the 'cringe-y; ones. Probably some original ones, yes. Original monsters and the like. Gaster may or may not show up too, depending on the kind of story we can work him into realistically n' stuff.

*EDIT*:

Work in progress killing monsters:

Damn. Haven't been able to work on this in a loooong time. But here's an update:

Update for RuneTale; I worked on the game a little bit last night because I had some free time. I managed to increase the framerate from 150FPS on my computer to over two thousand, so I'd say optimization is going quite well. Additionally, the beginning dialogue scene has been completed.
I am now recruiting background artists and general artists to help me with the Ruin's area design. You will be in charge of creating and maintaining the early Ruins underground, coordinating with the rest of the team to design an area based off the Undertale Ruins design. You may apply here, and if you are accepted I will share more details.
EDIT: Stickpage doesn't like b.i.t.l.y. links:

You know I'm still down to help you in any way I can ;) I would just ask to not be bombarded with things until after I turn in my SPAC animation Saturday.
