Hello everyone,

This is a newsletter thing to update you on what’s going on with the AU.

1. GOING OVER EVERYTHING…

To prepare for the final scenes of Part 4 and the future of the AU, I have been reading through Part 1, 2, and 3 to check how I’ve established the world and characters, as well as spot errors.

So far, the only error I’ve spotted is this error in Part 2 Scene 4 (where Whimsie fights for the first time.)

Whimsie’s Baton Tap should deal 2 DMG, and a 1 Fuse Black Bomb should deal 2 DMG, both of which would increase by 50% due to Iron Whip to 3 DMG each. Whimsie should have dealt 6 DMG total instead of 10!

There was also a minor damage error in Part 4 Scene 4 (the latest one!) where the Autoriel’s HP bar did not register the 5 DMG Power Smash from Gospel (16 HP instead of 11), which I have already fixed.

2. ANOTHER CHARACTER POLL!

On December of last year (when Part 1 was completed), I held a poll for the Most Cute, Cool, and Most Interesting character in Monster Friends. Today this poll will be coming back, plus new awards for Best Written and Most Dateable (in terms of personality, design)!

I am eagerly awaiting the responses to this poll after all the parts and scenes that have happened.

3. UPDATED SPRITES

You may have noticed that some of the characters look a little different in Part 4 Scene 4! That is because I updated sprites for the main cast to keep up with my current skill in spriting.

Toadie and Mopsy were the most changed with the update, with Gospel, Whimsie, and Muffet receiving minor improvements. I hope you like them!

4. THE NEXT SCENE (+ THE FUTURE)

I am one or two scenes away from finally completing the Ruins arc! Then the spriting and writing will have to begin for the upcoming Snowdin arc. Expect a long wait before the first Snowdin part. I’ll release it when its ready!

That concludes this update. Thank you for following the development of the Monster Friends AU!
