Has bagg ever used his powers on his brother before?

Do you have any recommendations for Undertale text games like yours? I'm pretty sure I played both at least 5 times and I really want more! I gotta tell you that they're both so cool, I never thought about making au text games.

Sadly I am not aware of any other IF Undertale games.

I can recommend some VNs though. These are what inspired me to do Undertale IF.

If I could draw it’d be a VN instead of an IF aha.

Dating Start! - A Sans VN based on Undertale

Just an Experiment - A Sans AU VN based on the Megalosomnia AU.

One Romantic Date, Hold the Awkward - A Papyrus VN based on Undertale

All of them are by @derpychocho They are beautiful so if you haven’t given them a shot I highly recommend!

If anyone does find some I’d love to try them out. ♥️

One of my favorite moments in Daring Start!

*Soon enough, you feel the protective wall of determination fade just a little…

*And when it does, it reveals the core trait that embodies you the most.

I played “Just an Experiment” and “Dating Start” so far, and I just wanna say, I loved how the games went! Keep up the good work!

This was just so adorable i highly recommend this game to everyone. It has so much heart to it. With three different endings and the writing along with the characters. It is as if the adventures in the underground never ended.

i had a lot of fun working on this one to be honest, its been a while since i worked on a background!!

[razsaysno]

wanted to draw this to obsess over @derpychocho 's game Dating Start!

honestly this game was so good and made me so freaking happy!! i suggest playing this wonderful heartfelt game, I don't play many rpg games but this one will be one of my all time favorites!!! thank Cho for this game.

Ooh I haven't heard of the Gauntlet type, though my knowledge on the intricacies of choice based gameplay is limited. That's a cool idea!

It almost sounds like this would also work with a text based 'choose your own adventure' book, especially with how many Goosebumps books had the hypnosis tropes through them, it's kind of apt!

I think I've already mentioned that I'm not making Undertale VNs for a good long while... ^^;

However, if I were to create another Megalosomnia game (AU by the awesome @megalommi !!)… it would definitely be a gauntlet type choice pattern.

Perhaps the player is trying to escape True Lab and get back to General Papyrus.

This means that the thread would be linear, but there would be multiple places to fail with a bad ending.

Choice design would be crucial. (It always is. But in this case, even more so or else the player would feel cheated at the point of choice).

What I mean is, there can't be an "obvious right choice vs. obvious wrong choice" (i.e. Look into his eyes vs. avert your gaze). Unless you subvert that with meta/4th wall breaking tricks ;) All options have to seem like they'd be correct.

Also, if you're a fellow dev that wants to make a Megalosomnia game. Feel free to take this idea. I honestly don't mind. :)

what would a Date Start! with Baggs be like?

Considering @derpychocho made both games, I'm assuming 'Just and Experiment' IS that game ha ha

Though, 'Dating Start!' has the soul mates trope, so maybe the events of that game would go quite differently. Who knows~

Well except Cho I guess lol

[darkpetal16]

Just found you, and I love your games! If you don't mind, how did you do it?

Twine Sugarcubev2 and the power of simping!

Moments from this game were amazing! I loved it!! ^_^

Thank you @derpychocho for such a wonderful gaming experience!

Day 2. Dating Start!

Doing this reminded me of that awesome fanmade Undertale game I enjoyed playing alot. 🥰 If anyone either heard about it or not it's called: "Dating Start" by @derpychocho

[mmishee-art]

I’ve been busy working on this for my friend Cho, she is making a short Papyrus dating sim VN for NaNoRenO, I worked on all the character art!

Follow her on Twitter for more updates on the game’s development!

"Good night, sunshine."

Happy 2nd anniversary,

One Romantic Date, Hold the Awkward!

A romantic date with THE GREAT PAPYRUS? Don't worry! Your friends are here to help! ...or maybe, that's the perfect reason to worry.

Character Art: @mmishee-art

Papyrus and Sans: @davetasticdave

Alphys: @twoallnighters

Undyne: @cellochicita-va

Sound Design: DanDoesVoices

Programming, Writing, UI Design, Project Management: @derpychocho (Me :3)

One Romantic Date, Hold the Awkward was my NaNoRenO 2022 submission! It was the first time I had ever led a team. And it was the first time I've ever gutted the UI as extensively as I did to build it from scratch. My focus that year was project management and UI design.

At the eleventh hour, I had lost some of what I was working on. Thankfully I managed to redo everything I lost and submitted before the deadline! I was so proud of myself and everyone that had a hand in working on this!
