We're an international group of self-taught game devs! TS!UNDERSWAP is our unofficial reimagining of Toby Fox's UNDERTALE. DOWNLOAD: teamswitched.dev | Header by @superkirbylover.me

Work-in-progress new sprites of TS!UNDERSWAP's Aaxel (left), compared with his current sprites (right.) They now utilize more dynamic poses, rather than static directional ones. These have been done by Depresso, Beethovenus, Chip Potato, and others.

Temmie from TS!UNDERSWAP, now with new overworld and battle sprites -- which utilize asymmetry, and a style more consistent with the team's latest material.
Papyrus from TS!UNDERSWAP, whose sprites have now been edited to make his head more angular and pointed, instead of rounded like before.
That was a lot! To finish off this section, here's a few more things we've been working on -- we either don't want to show these off currently, or feel there isn't much point to showcasing them: - Reworks to Bugerpant's overworld sprites for consistency with his look from Deltarune (still in early stages, low priority given how many sprites we'd need to change.) - Reworks to Mad Dummy's battle sprites for consistency with our current art style (still in early stages, higher priority given Dummy-related content in Crystal Springs.) - Reworks to Flowey's facial expressions (incl. number thereof) to better differentiate it from Undertale's Flowey (not implemented in-game yet; condensed many of its facial expressions, need to refine and figure out some other ones.) - Slight polish to the Crossbones "pretend" post-fight scene for better consistency with overall plans and design intentions (implemented in-game.) - Chara now has armor sprites when grabbed by Koffin-K following the Mad House chase (these have not been implemented in-game just yet.)

Our official translations for Spanish (Español), Brazilian Portuguese (Português Brasileiro), and Dutch (Nederlands) are still in-progress, and will ideally be released whenever they're ready. (These are done by hobbyist translators, so please be patient!) We're also in the process of discussing avenues for which community-created localization patches could be officially added to the game, including a list of guidelines (i.e. submission requirements, quality standards, etc.) It'll take us a bit to iron this out, so please give us time! In case you haven't seen, we're now using Bluesky! This will be one of our primary avenues of communication going forward (rather than Twitter.) We've also been a bit more communicative in our Discord server this year -- including a new Community Spotlight channel we've made for easily shouting out fanworks! Feel free to join if you want! Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you guys next year! - Beethovenus and Team Switched An image depicts Spep wearing a Santa hat, and the Annoying Dog wearing reindeer antlers and a red Rudolph nose.

A Year in Review 2024 is nearly over, how about that? It's no big secret that this year hasn't exactly been the kindest to everyone, ourselves included. We released Demo v2.0 at the start of the year, and we were really excited for people to finally see and experience what we'd been working on! To this day, we're incredibly fortunate and blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response to our little project, and the ways in which it's impacted others despite being unfinished. Following this release, though, we unfortunately ended up having multiple stressful situations which, while thankfully resolved, definitely took their toll on us. Combine that with a slew of responsibilities and such in our personal lives which have required our full attention, and... in-game development has admittedly been much slower than we hoped following v2.0's release. While various roadblocks have presented themselves, resulting in less work being done in-game, we've fortunately been making a lot of headway in other areas. We've focused a great deal on properly fleshing out the game's overall outline, narrative, events, locations, and so on -- improving upon aspects which weren't as developed as we liked or needed, and even making changes to existing ideas to better suit our goals and direction for the project. All of this will significantly help us in the long term, and allow us to get future work done quicker by having a better understanding of what we want to accomplish! While this project is going to take us a while to finish, we'd like to see it through to completion -- ideally sooner than later, mind you! Our work means a lot to us, and so has the support and kind words of everyone who enjoys what we're creating. We wouldn't be where we are without any of you, or without the hard work and contributions of each of our passionate team members. Thank you for believing in us, and for sticking around this long. Here's to hoping for a better year with 2025!
Obligatory Screenshots Since Crystal Springs is still in relatively early stages, we haven't felt as if there's been enough progress to warrant showing much off -- though, it couldn't hurt to share some small previews! Please keep in mind that all of these are entirely subject to change, and do not represent what they'll look like in the end. We've got a long way to go, including visual improvements!
Gilded Goons, Again! There's an image of Harry and Larry's new battle sprites in-game, standing within Koffin-K's study. Many of the new (see below) re-styled Boogiemen battle sprites are courtesy of LuneyToons, our newest team member! They've been a huge help with getting these done, drawing inspiration from cartoon characters for some expressive animations and dynamic poses.
Progress Updates Our priorities have more or less remained the same since September, and we've continued working on a lot of the same content when we have the time to do so. Here's what we've gotten done: - Writing -- More development on fleshing out & improving certain character backstories, evaluating plans for certain routes to keep them within reasonable scope, and proposing potential rewrites of Ruined Home content for better consistency with current plans. - Art -- Some completed battle assets and concept art for Crystal Springs enemies, and the Boogiemen's re-styled battle sprites are almost completely finished! - Music -- Some further work on "Boogie Beatdown" ("Let's Boogie!" v3) and "Kountdown" v3, with an almost-finished Crystal Springs track ("Dreamer" by philiplol.) - Programming -- Work on implementing new Boogiemen battle sprites, Crystal Mines puzzles and area design, slight polish to Starlight Isles content, minor improvements to a few Ruined Home puzzles, and some Spep Mode work on the side. Also, updating the project to the latest GameMaker version and figuring out what breaks!
Hey there! Today marks the fourth anniversary of Demo v1.0's release! To commemorate this occasion, as well as to continue our yearly tradition since 2022, we're sharing a new Dev Update. As per usual, we'll start this one off by recapping our last progress report, and then get into our current progress updates -- along with some small content previews! After that, we have: - End of Year Q&A - Community Spotlight - Dec 2024 - A Year in Review - Conclusion
Larry from TS!UNDERSWAP, whose new battle sprites are being implemented in-game. This is currently unfinished, with the segments of his main battle sprite incorrectly positioned.
He is too powerful.

The release trailer for TS!UNDERSWAP Demo v2.0: Starlight Isles, but shortened to fit within Bluesky's video length limit.
The scene takes place in a Stardust Woods recolored with a greener color palette. Crossbones does fingerguns at Chara, who is hidden behind a potted plant conveniently shaped like them. He says to Papyrus, "i guess you could say you were fibia-ing to me." Papyrus is visibly annoyed.
The Greasers with poorly-added red eyes. The text reads "humain... ;) We are remember you're ruthless Routes ; )" with the final two words in glowing red text.
