Q: How can I clear my game to a clean slate?

A: Instructions for Windows here: https://itch.io/post/2792964

Instructions for MAC here: https://itch.io/post/3390388

1.) Still include them! If they’re part of the story in some way, even if you haven’t gotten to that part yet, you can still include them!

2.) Yes! Even if they’re only mentioned in text, you can still include those characters as well! Don’t worry about including every single character either!

The question isn’t something I’m looking at in detail. It’s just for fun so I can see the range of characters that people made VNs for!  :)

I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand the question.

You can submit games you’ve been working on.

But it must be a visual novel or an interactive fiction. And it must be an Undertale fangame. This jam only accepts Undertale visual novels and interactive fiction.

Feel free to ask any questions about the jam here!

If the UI is not working as expected, please ask any questions here!

TEMMIE!!  Yes, you're absolutely right, it was Cho day  ^^  It's great hearing from you!  And I'm glad to see that you've been doing well!  I hope you have fun with your school play!  You're gonna be great! (Also I do love that song!  I hope you have fun dancing to it!  I still haven't forgotten my idea for that one UT VN. But, yeah, it's been on the backburner for a while. I fear it may not see the light of day, sadly.) And it sounds like you've had a lot happening!  I'm glad that everything is okay, though!  Honestly, you're a lot better off not being on the bird app.  I've left it myself, tbh.  And I've been distancing myself from social media, too.  I don't go on as much as I used to.  There may be moments when I'm on for a few days but then I log off for a while.  No pressure on playing OROHA (that's the acronym I gave it, but it's not official or anything lol)!  If you do play it, I hope you enjoy!  And two trains in love is my magnum opus. I will never make anything greater LOL

I hope that you continue to do well and that you enjoy life and all it has to offer!  This was a very sweet thing to read!  And, hey, you'll see me here whenever I release any new games! My interests have kinda shifted in the few years during my dev hiatus. (I've fallen in love with a new series and enjoyed several others!) There aren't any UT VNs on the roadmap currently.  Not sure if that will change. (Though I have been planning on hosting an Undertale VN jam for others to make VNs!)  But I've been enjoying other things and having a wonderful time on my end!

Thank you so much for playing and for posting a playthrough!  ^^  I really enjoyed watching it and seeing your reactions! I also loved the way you voiced the characters!  It's funny that you said I should make a children's book--a few people have mentioned I should!

Ahhh thank you!! Honestly, it’s really nice to get back into dev! I’ve missed it.

🚂🐶: CHOO CHOO! (ask her on a date)

This was such a sweet little story! I love how the conversation naturally progressed from a silly little (one-sided) exchange, to something deeper by the end. Congratulations on completing NaNoRenO 2025!

Ahhhh thank you!! 😭 I'm glad you enjoyed it! I thought people could use a cute little cat story to brighten their day! 🐈‍⬛

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you thought it was heartwarming! Cats make everything better!

Thank you, Lea!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!  It certainly wasn't intentional, but I can definitely see the similarities (I liked Fairly Oddparents back in the day. Wouldn't be surprised if it shaped my style here!)

And you're right! How could say no to that face??

How that conversation goes doesn't matter too much.  :)  Whatever you did is fine!

Let's just say that in order to get the bad ending, you really have to try to get it. You would know you're going for the bad ending.

Also, you won't get the good ending until your second playthrough (after resetting).

Thank you so much for playing, for making a playthrough video, and for taking the time to leave a comment!  ^^  It was super fun to watch your playthrough! I had fun experimenting (haha) with a bunch of meta tricks and features for it in Ren'Py and I'm glad you thought it was cool!

Also, Dave's performance was perfect!! I'm still thrilled I had him onboard for the project!

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiint! ^^ It's so good to see that you're still doing your thing and taking time for yourself, in whatever way that is!  Congratulations on graduating from uni!  I'm super proud of you for everything you've accomplished!

I'll definitely have to check out the latest projects you've been a part of!  Keep being you and doing your thing! Take care!

Hi, just look for 103 instead of 102.  It's the same steps.

Oh I didn't make that song! You'll find the credits for each song in the music room in "Extras"!

Hi!  You have to be patient.  Wait like.... 5+ minutes in the dark, windy void.  And Chara will talk to you again and ask you a few questions.

Oh shoot, I'm sorry!  :(  I'm not familiar with a Mac workaround. I just know on Windows we have a button to bypass. I did release it on GameJolt as well, if you wanna try downloading it from there!  Hopefully that works!

This is already finished. It was just a short, April Fools Day VN for testing purposes.

This is already finished. It was just a short, April Fools Day VN for testing purposes.

I updated part of my code, though I'm not sure if it will resolve it. Do you have an email so I can send you this updated version to test?

I'll keep doing research on my end, too. Sorry that you're having to jump through hoops.

Hi, I tried looking over my code, but I can't find anything  wrong. This doesn't seem to be an issue on PC, so perhaps there's a fix for the Joiplay app specifically? easein_circ is one of the transition easing functions built into the Ren'Py engine.

I can try my best to help, but I can't promise anything, as this VN is not supported on Android at all. Also, I don't have an android so I can't replicate the issue. I'm sorry  :(

What are you doing when you get this error?   Are you trying to launch the game?  Or has the game already launched and this is happening during a certain part of the game?

Ahhhhh lately I haven't had time to write longer replies, but I wanted to make sure to reply to your comment!  I'm always happy to see your comment on my games and I'm so happy you played my original VN!  Thank you so much for playing!! And thank you so much for your support in all my work!!  I don't think I can tell you how thankful I am that you've stuck around this long, even when I've shifted to non-Undertale projects!

I'm happy that you like the UI!  It was very minimal in order to keep that chill atmosphere and to keep the focus on the characters.  And I'm glad you found the strangers charming and that you enjoyed the scenarios you encountered!

And thank you so much for that recommendation to other players!  Ending the day with Emma is an awesome idea to experience that chill, calm atmosphere!

All of the movements were done using Ren'Py ATL. When a choice is made, the animations play like a movie.  The player does not actually have control of where the sprites move. It's basically a pre-programmed animation that plays depending on what was selected.

If you're looking for movement like arrow key movement, I don't have a whole lot of experience with that in Ren'Py. And it would be a little move involved. Ren'Py is, first and foremost, a visual novel engine. So anything extra like that has to be coded from scratch.

Yes, you have to RESET.

I'm assuming this is your first playthrough. If you didn't save, there would be no file to load.  You have to RESET.

Unfotunately, porting to phone is not possible for me. To develop for iOS, I need a Mac computer. But I don't use a Mac. Also, I would need to join the Apple Developer Program, which costs money every year to maintain. I wouldn't be able to put it on Android either, because I don't have an Android phone to test it. In addition, I wouldn't be allowed to put a fangame on the AppStore or on Android in the first place.

Because of this, it has to stay a PC only game.  I'm sorry. ☹️

No. The story is complete.

Thank you for playing! The player does not have an exact age. However, Toriel hinted at the beginning that the player is "much older than a human child" and "probably too old to listen to bedtime stories". This means that the player, at the very least, is a young adult.

Hi! You shouldn't need to use WinZip to unzip it if you're on a Windows computer. You should just be able to right-click the folder and select "Extract All".

I really wish I could create a port for Chrome OS.  Unfortunately, I don't have a way to do it for Ren'Py games.  :(   Not sure if Ren'Py will release Chrome OS support in the future. If it does, I'll look into porting it!

I do hope you get a chance to play it soon! Sorry for the inconvenience!

I've uploaded the new version of the game! (v1.0.3).  You'll need to redownload it.  Unfortunately, you will have to play the whole game again. But the bug should be fixed!

Make sure to delete the old game and unzip the new game!

Thank you for giving a screenshot!  This helps me with troubleshooting.  I think I need to double check my code and release a new version of the game.  This might take me two days to fix.  I'll reply back when a new version of the game is available with the fix.

Hi there!  Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!  These are all the instructions I have for Mac, but I don't have screenshots to go with it I'm sorry! I hope maybe this might help!

Thank you so much for playing!  "SNAP OUT OF IT" is actually a little detail I put it when Baggs' hypnosis monologue happens. When you try to access the menu, the option that says "RETURN TO MAIN MENU" has been replaced with "SNAP OUT OF IT".  And when you click it, it just quits the game.

In addition, your "REMEMBER" (save) and "RECALL" (load) are disabled.  They become "CAN'T REMEMBER" and "CAN'T RECALL".

That's really all there is to it.

Also, there's nothing special in the credits.  All I meant was you need to reopen the game after it crashes the first time.  If you didn't, you'd miss the second part where you're in LAB.

Thank you so much for playing!  I'm glad you enjoyed it!  And yes you can make a video for it!  :)  All I ask is to make sure you have the content warnings somewhere (either in the video or the description)!  Thank you for asking!
