I just realised I never reblogged this across to the proper @escapetalegame blog! For the anon asking for hints, here is the full walkthrough to help you find everything! :3

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HGI1uqyD2Q)

Here you go! I mentioned to @askellie that i was considering making a video walkthrough for @escapetalegame and they thought it was a good idea so i did it!

Trigger warning for: My stupid fucking voice XD

If you prefer to read instead of listen, here’s everything i say in the video:

The thing behind the e=3 (hehe that kinda looks like a d*ck (~Midnight thoughts~)) is "She lies", right? The reason I'm asking for a confirmation is because it's kinda trippy that ARC would sneakily warn Sans against their own employees :D Also, damn if Mamello turns out to be the super evil bad guy! It's always the nice ones!

;D You got it! That is indeed the secret message! And uhuhuhu, I cannot reveal any plot things, but it definitely would be strange for ARC to choose that particular message, wouldn’t it?

I will, however, reveal that Mamello is a ‘they’ and not a ‘she’, so they’re not the person intended in that particular message. <3 All the kudos for being the first person to bring up that particular secret though.

I think I just figured out what the secret behind the e=3 thing is! OMG! (Damn this game is cool. Can't wait to see more! ^^)

There is a secret message there, waiting to be found. ;D I haven’t actually had anyone call it out yet, so I don’t know if it was too obscure or just people have been too shy to mention it.

Hey um. Should people take notes for future parts? Like the secrets (patience? inject, etc.) and posters and stuff?

All the little details will eventually tie in together. We’re hoping that once more chapters/parts are out, you’ll have more context for things like that, although at the moment you (probably) won’t need to rely heavily on memory of previous parts to solve puzzles in future ones. Each segment of the story will be self-contained enough to solve without needing to refer to previous chapters. (There may be the occasional easter egg which requires some outside knowledge, though, so keep your eyes peeled for those!)

Do you have a place where you put progress reports?

They would be put here on this blog, anon, though sadly I haven’t had any time to work on the game since December which is why there hasn’t been an update. XD;; However, @yandere-copter and I will be working on it this coming Friday 17th Feb. I might even stream that day so people can have a look at the in-progress chapter. Keep an eye out!

Does the label on that bottle in the trashcan say barbiturate? Did somebody use sedatives on Sans?

Late message is late! So sorry, anon! I haven’t had much chance to work on EscapeTale things lately!

That’s an extremely good guess, but actually it’s something else! >D The liquid in that bottle wasn’t a sedative; it’s purpose is slightly different.

[escapetalegame]

just finished what you put up so far, and can I just say, it's AMAZING!! I loved the puzzle, and can't wait to see what's next!! :D Just wondering, about how long does it take to make a level? Not to rush or whatever, just pure curiosity. Thank you, and keep up the great work!! :D

The real impediment to creating the game is just finding time to hook up with my co-creator, @yandere-copter. She works full time, my schedule is messy and inconsistant, and a lot of the time when we DO manage to visit each other we get distracted with gaming/generally faffing around and don’t always commit to doing proper work on Escapetale even though we should. XD;

The first part took around 4 months to do? You could probably condense that work down into a single month if we’d been a bit more dedicated/had better timing.

The next part will probably take just as long, if only because the upcoming puzzles will be a little more complicated and more plot elements coming out means that it will have a longer play time than the first part. On the other hand, I have a much better idea of what I’m doing with the code and scripting now, so that will save time in other areas. :3 So ETA for the next part is probably Feb/March unless we truly get our asses into gear.

[escapetalegame]

Will you give hints to where the secrets are?

If you look through this blog, you’ll see some other people have posted walkthroughs/video tutorials which do explain where the secrets are if you want the true ending. :3 If you’re having any trouble finding them, let me know and I can link you!

Escapetale is finally ready to be released to the public! 8D Come check it out, guys. A lot of hard work went into this project, but I’m very pleased with how the first episode came together.

Escapetale is a planned series of short, escape the room type games based on Undertale by Toby Fox. The first segment here is aiming to be 10-30 minutes long depending on your puzzling skill. The game hasn’t been widely tested yet, so we’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts and theories!

Let us know what you think. :3 My co-producer, @yandere-copter is a very new producer of online content. She came up with the main story, did the music covers, and wrote large sections of the script, so tell her she’s amazing!

Streaming now! :3

Now just as a groundrule here, guys, we’re not talking about election stuff in the stream. Anyone who wants to do that can do so elsewhere.

Escapetale Game Development Streaming

So I thought I might try something a bit different and give this streaming thing a go. I’m going to be doing some work on the Escapetale game project, which is a flash-based escape the room game based on Undertale. The stream will contain some spoilers for the plot and puzzle elements, so keep that in mind if you want to join in. I might not talk/chat much myself during the stream since I’ll be concentrating, but I’ll possibly do a bit of a Q&A after if people are interested.

The stream will take place on Wednesday 9th November at 4:00PM PST. I’ll put up a notification post an hour or so before the stream starts. It’ll be my first time, guys, so be gentle, but I hope you join me. :3

So having an invested audience is already providing motivation to keep working. :9 One of the areas I’m in charge of for this project is creating the artwork and assets, so here is another sampling of stuff I’be been doing: drawing lots of Sanses!

He is the protagonist of EscapeTale, and the one you get to control during your puzzle-solving escapades. He’s not quite as enthusiastic about it as Papyrus might be, but he’s definitely motivated by the possibility of the ‘escape’ side of things.

Who likes escape the room games? You do, right?

And who likes Undertale? I sure hope you do!

Best of all, who likes PUZZLES? Everyone, obviously. Who could dislike puzzles?

Put all those things together, and what do you get?
