Hello! Here's something I tried to create for the Monkietale Mod created by @/hangcastles! Here's the mod's blog! (@monkietale)

It's meant to replace “Fallen Down” from the UT soundtrack. :)

[monkietale]

welcome to the monkietale blog! this is an undertale mod project that i'm (@98chao) working on.

this is a reskin and rewrite of the original undertale game by toby fox but with lego monkie kid characters instead!

here i'll post updates on progress, like showing sprites/animations and video demos and such. when it's 100% finished, i'm going to release a full gameplay video of the mod.

i'll probably post misc doodles as well and answer questions. i accept ideas too, but just know certain things, like character roles i've already posted about, i don't plan on changing unless i think of something else. if you wanna ask a question about (or to) a character then feel free to :)

just a disclaimer: i'm not actively working on this project 24/7, there's gonna be times where there arent updates for a while. i have a lot on my plate in real life plus other projects i want to work on. so please excuse any inactivity ^^;

also, i started this all the way back in february! there are older posts ive made on my main that are pretty outdated, so just keep that in mind if you've already seen some of my posts before.

thank you for reading! stay tuned for the first progress update, it'll (probably) be soon!

just showing off more sprites. updated mei and hostess, made peng as mettaton and refined shoe store guy a little bit. gonna give him an actual uniform at some point

[monkietale]

todays session! sprited tang and pigsy, epilogue outfits for azure & wukong, red son poses & started on shopkeepers.

because theres not meant to be humans in the underground i made tang a sloth and the shoe store guy a gecko. also i did wukongs talksprites but its not pictured here

[monkietale]

talksprites for the main characters are done :) all the different expressions are almost done

[monkietale]

took a break to draw some silly guys. i just know these two and mk are gonna be my favourites in the mod

hi guys, progress is slow (trying not to burn myself out), which means i sadly don't have anything super substantial to post. i've just been working through concepts in my head, and walk cycles/talksprites, stuff like that. nothing i can really post.

speaking of concepts, i've been doing a lot of thinking about wukong and the ruins. since i'm trying to retain everyones canon personalities, i'm going to have to do a lot of rewrites of the dialogue and stuff. that led me to a problem, which is the butterscotch-cinnamon pie that you get from toriel.

i mean, i guess the flavours would obviously be peach and some other fruit, like banana or something, since fruits are the only kind of food we actually see on ffm. but i have no idea what the actual dessert would be. wukong's not exactly a chef, and i can't really see him making a pie? XD maybe a tart, or small cake, or something... if anyone has any suggestion i'm open to hearing it, because i don't want to leave it for later.

anyway, if you want something funny, i was talking to my friend about AU versions of monkietale (as in stuff like the actual undertale AU's in the fandom) and then i started doing recolours of the sprites i made as "monkiefell". i was going to do everyone, but midway through i was like "yeah no this is so awful" and gave up, but it's still in my aseprite canvas, so i can show you guys.

it's really stupid. i'm never going do to something like this with the AU LOL

anyway, that concludes my small update. it's going steady, and maybe i can do a small showcase sometime in the future, probably not soon though.

[monkietale]

happy new years! i've been working on this project for almost a year now.

i feel like we're long overdue for an update here, so i'm gonna share where i'm at right now:

monkietale won't be canceled.

but i've ran into some roadblocks that i have to overcome:

modding undertale is freaking difficult... it's hard to get things to be exactly the way you want them to be, especially with sprites because i have to change sprite sizes and get them to work in-game and all that. plus, having to change all the dialogue and getting that to work in-game as well, and figuring out how to change the story and all that to work with the LMK cast, that kind of stuff. it's a bit much for just a mod of undertale, and i'm only one person.

but, i decided something. i'm already learning gamemaker studio for some other projects, so i decided once i have all those figured out i can finally make monkietale from scratch. keep in mind this is going to take a loooong time, but i think i'm willing to put in the work for it. since it's just an undertale reskin i don't really have to worry too much about the art side of stuff and just about rewriting the dialogue and making the game functional and all that, which is probably the easiest part for me lol.

so, even though i don't have any actual update, i'm just here to let you guys know the route i'm taking from now on. not having to worry about working within the confines of the base game in regards to sprite sizes, limits for the dialogue and all that makes things a lot easier on me. keep in mind i'm not going to start on it yet until i have my other stuff sorted out which will take me a while.
