My last update post was serval weeks ago, i assure y'all I've been working on the game ever since, lets go over some of that.

Cutscenes / Lore:

     Since the most recent post (at the time of writing) a lot In the lore department has been added / changed, and im here to drop some of that.

First we've written down some lore for the zombies themselves and how the "demise" of the world started. Instead of shorting it down, ill copy paste the final iteration below, and add a tldr at the end:

  "It happened through a chemical weapon experiment that was set to be closed but they didn't shut down the project in time, the airborne strain managed to leak itself throughout the lab and even though the military was able to contain in that state they didnt know the *airborne* part so by the time they realized they had accidentally spread out infected individuals all over the US, where the player Lily lives, mostly everyone is dead, there are still countries and different organizations that are still currently functional and not completely zombie filled but Lily is far from any of them and as far as she knows most of everyone is dead, the only reason she was able to survive is that a minority of people are actually immune to the airborne strain (not to being eaten alive though)." - Yours Truly

TLDR: some people are immune to the airborne virus, so some survived (unless they got torn limb to limb).

Something you probably didnt notice is the name change, her previous name ,Susie, is now Lily. The change was decided after we realized Susie was to similar to Deltatunes Susie and people would get confused.

Another lore topic is Flowey, despite his hostility in Undertale, we need save points, so Floweys demeanor in Dead Men is that of a taunting friend, sometimes messing with you but helping more than he hurts.

Floweys change in heart could be linked to the new environment the Ruins has fallen to. Since the previous caretakers departure from the Ruins years ago, the monsters inside have been left to fend for themselves as everything slowly got worse for wear. Now most of the populous is starving or paranoid, needing to be calmed down before they can be spared. These factors hopefully will make a more dreary atmosphere.

New Member:

     Im unsure if i mentioned our newest addition to the team in my last post, so to be completely sure, i sill introduce them here too! Kachoowy is a script writer, i fully intend to have them help with writing dialogue for the many characters and familiar faces you'll encounter along the way. Every member is blessing to have aboard so im happy to welcome them.

Enemies:

     A new environment calls for new monsters! Or some familiar but different faces. To go along with the dreary atmosphere ive created designs for new monsters, and soon I'll be dabbling in some new monsters, although id like to keep it close to vanilla UT. 

Polish:

      As Mo is still working on the updated tileset, the game still looks subpar in graphics, so I've taken to adding some polish, specifically the new darkness effect, the ability to walk in water, different Ui graphics, and spikes that actually come out or retract.

Ruin's Boss:

   The ruins boss is usually everyone's favorite grandma, Toriel, with her best intentions on her mind blocking your way. Unfortunately Toriel is not around, and your passage to Snowden is blocked by the hollowed out half melted shells of monsters, occupying the insides of them is a black tentacle with eyes plastered on the base, they live inside the walls and hunt using they're exceptional hearing, and you must prove your more predator than prey to pass.

    Regrettably our meeting is now over, if we never meet again, i hope you have a wonderful day night or evening, and i hope to see you again soon
