#dr44 underswap

Changed the Underswap Mew Mew entirely, different vibe + slight redesign.

The image is Old - New

Changed the sprite mostly because the old one has a big head.

Also here is a quick extra drawing based on the sprite.

Muffet and Mad Mew Mew designs for my Underswap take! (roles swapped with each other and personal roles changed based on the location) [no location names have been 100% eatablished so I will go with Undertale counterparts]

Muffet short info: songstress at [Grillby's] in [Snowdin]. Invites to join her "backstage" if you donate her enough money. Secret bossfight available only at the end of the game and if you didn't kill anyone.

I made the Underswap battle thing.

Jam is obviously the kid you fight in the example (although technically they only appear in duo battle with another human)

Mechanic explanation that I thought of while making the image (I just need to ramble about something here):

Stats: there is no LV and instead you increase the stats each on their own. The 10/10/10 is the default (on the image is 20/10/10)

You can get XP by acting and EXP by fighting, both can be used for increasing the stats but XP gives less stats than EXP. So you know what that means if you want to max everything out.

Enemy cap for both violent and pacifist so you can't spare one single enemy infinitely to get more XP.

On the image there is a death counter which stays for the whole game after the first death. Different death number gives different Frisk reaction.

Chara's portrait shows their current emotion. You can get temporary party members and they have their portraits too (not at the moment)

Talk and Action are basically "say something" and "do something" buttons because actions can be unrelated to the enemies.

After working for quite a while with the old designs I figured that I didn't actually like them so I decided to make the new ones.

Chara is now wearing a different shirt + the sprite style difference but other than that they are the same.

Frisk on the other hand got jarona'd. The idea is that in the AU story revolves around humans not being humans (the first idea WAS, in fact, implemented into the story BEFORE chapter 5) so I thought that the Flowery similarity would be very much appropriate.

I adore Jam. They are a silly little bean.

The falling sprites combined in the animation:

Extra thing to say is that when I'm done with designing all humans I might (but not necessarily will) make yet another blog dedicated for Underswap humans only (including Frisk and Chara)

Basic idea that I had from the beginning: cards, gambling and overly confident behavior.

The concept I dediced to stick with eventually: Spec only does skill-dependent gambling because relying purely on random numbers and luck is BAD. Math, logic and observation is all what they need to win. Spec says that everyone who keeps losing in card games just has a "skill issue". Their speech is heavily affected by the internet slang (so much that I don't even know how to write it because I don't speak Internet).

I adore Jam, they are a little gremlin.

They fell from a very high place, probably broke a leg, but they don't care because they can just heal everything. They can't get hurt therefore they can't be stopped.
