Underswap

Underswap is the first project originally produced and is currently being worked by Team Switched, back when they were originally known as Team Swapped. It is a project originally based off of Undertale, as this fan game aims to tell a new story with an alternate take on all the characters, as Granpris, a team member of the project states on the Gamejolt page, "The general idea of it is that every character is swapped with another. For instance, Flowey and Temmie are swapped, therefore in the end of the neutral route you will face Photoshop Temmie!"

F.A.Q.
There are so many people who are confused about the decisions that Team Switched has made. Albeit, none of their decisions on Underswap are currently final at this point, but this is just a section that we feel is necessary to add a list of complaints we don't want you asking, and that it's our personal choice in making these to benefit the game, rather than hinder it. So without further ado, here's a list of shit we don't want people complaining about.

-

Q: When is the release date for the game?

A: We don't have one just yet. It's going to take a while to completely recreate Undertale from scratch. Plus, deciding to make an alternate experience of a story is actually a lot harder than it may seem like. We have so many things to consider and change, and we have to do it all one step at a time. We could just change nothing at all and get the game out faster, but Toby himself literally told us to use a few sprites from Undertale as possible. This helps with copyright purposes, and to allow creativity to spread throughout the entire game. It takes a lot of decision making and discussion just to make ONE minor change. We take pride and care in all of our options. We just need time to find out what we want to do.

-

Q: What about the demo? That was supposed to be out ages ago!

A: Patience is a virtue, my friend. We've been having some issues with development, and it's been taking a bit longer than anticipated just because of how difficult making a game is in general, but we'll have it out.

-

Q: Will we have to buy the game or will it be free?

A: The game, once finished, will be completely free! Because of copyright reasons and the fact that we're just doing this project for fun and the enjoyment of others, you will not have to pay for it.

-

Q: Which characters are swapped in this game?

A: The major swaps being done in the game so far are as follows: Frisk and Chara, Flowey and Temmie, Toriel and Asgore, Sans and Papyrus, Grillby and Muffet, Alphys and Undyne, Mettaton and Napstablook, Monster Kid and Asriel, Burgerpants and Nice Cream Guy. Gaster and River Person are not being swapped in this game.

-

Q: Underswap sucks. It's just reskinned Undertale characters!

A: We recognize that a lot of the fandom surrounding Underswap portrays it like this, but we're aiming to not do this and instead give each character a variation to their different personalities and interests.

-

Q: Why are the ruins blue? Shouldn't they be gray like with New Home?

A: Nope. Do you really want to look at grey for the entire first portion of the game? Sure, you can complain at us for recoloring the ruins at all instead of redrawing them, but at least it gives a different feeling. We don't necessarily want to swap all the locations, just change their seasons. Because it's cool. Ruins represented fall, So a cool blue represents an early spring. We could redraw the ruins, but the recolored ruins are mainly a placeholder for now. But we WILL keep the blue. Besides, imagine a desert version of Snowdin.

-

Q: What are the season swaps going to be?

A: In the original Undertale, the Ruins represents fall, Snowdin is winter, Waterfall is spring, and Hotland is summer. The Ruins and Waterfall are swapped, and Snowdin and Hotland are swapped. This means that the Ruins will represent spring, Sunnedout is summer, Waterfall (placeholder name) is fall, and Coldsea is winter.

-

Q: Can I help with the programming/spriting/music/storyboarding/etc?

A: We currently have more than enough people working on the game right now, so we don't have much room for anyone else at the moment. Thank you for wanting to help, though!

-

Q: Is the game going to have colored battle sprites or black and white sprites?

A: It's going to feature both, actually! We'll either be having two separate versions of the game, one with colored and one with black and white sprites, or we'll try and make a toggle option in the final product.

-

Q: This game is never going to come out! There isn't even a demo out yet/the team is falling apart/the game is going to be cancelled/the development is slowing down/Team Switched shouldn't be working on more than one game/etc.

A: Underswap will eventually come out. We are not cancelling this project, and we have more than enough people on the development team for it in order to ensure that it will one day be completed. The development of Underbound will not interfere with Underswap, seeing as how we have a small team dedicated to working on that game while the majority of Team Switched's members work on Underswap. Team Switched is not falling apart at all, those are just rumors being spread around because of some pointless arguments and idiotic drama that's occurred.
