Undertale for 3DS!


Hello GBATemp! So, this is a project that I've been recently working on and I am really excited to share this with you all!

Thing is, I've seen a few people trying to port Undertale to the 3DS, but to no avail... All those projects eventually got abandoned and with seemingly no explanation, at least from what I can gather haha. That inspired me to do it myself! :D

Please keep in mind this is in it's very early stages!! And it's also being made from scratch in the Unity engine (since game maker is not compatible with the 3ds)

I've started working on this around early September-ish and hopefully I can actually finish this in a reasonable amount of time haha
I want to be as transparent as possible while making this, so everyone knows what's going on and not leave you all hanging saying "... So what happened to it?"
With that out of the way


What's been added


  • Intro cutscene (100% Done)
  • Name Select (No animations or transitions yet)
  • Sound test (Really small)
  • Player animations and movement (Still needs polishing, also need to add Circlepad functionality
As you can see, there's not that much stuff already done, but hey, it's progress!

Current Priorities


  • Add battles and random encounters
  • Make a leveling system
  • Add healing items and gear (E.g. Toy Knife, Boxing Gloves, Bandage, etc.)
  • Make stats and name properly show on the bottom screen / Make it interactable with touch
  • Dialogue System (MUST!!!)

I am open to any feedback, suggestions and ideas! If you have anything in mind please let me know!


And last but not least..

Preview

Unreleased screenshots and images
Testing battles, only FIGHT works (still need to add enemy health and damage, lots to do lol), ACT, ITEM and MERCY still need functionality

Testing more rooms from the game and added GUI on lower screen (placeholder), will probably add touch

Added the third room with proper collisions, updated the movement to be more accurate

looks sick, when do you think a build of it will be avaliable?
Thanks! Just updated the post with a link to my discord server, there we have a public test build that you can try out! It's pretty small though
Post automatically merged:

It works with both Old and New models by the way! :grog:

oh man this is so cool! and updates to this since then?
Unfortunately not :sad:
My computer went kaput and the files got corrupted around late November (a few weeks after I posted this, and no I had no backups, rookie mistake)
After that I started to re-do it haha... I'm around the same point as the build I had, with some quality of life changes! Currently working on the dialogue system, I am dreading Flowey

Surprised it's not open source. I'd love to contribute.
I didn't think about that lmao
Though it would be embarrassing to see all my trash spaghetti code
I should probably also mention that this is being made in Unity, I will edit the post

Just curious, but do you have an idea as to how many stages of Undertale you'd include in this project?
Hopefully the full game, the first step is finishing the Ruins but my current priority is making the gameplay look and feel just right

Edit: I'm on a little break at the moment, I'll get back to working on it soon. Last thing I did was some optimization, from my testing it runs at full speed on both new and old models

I'd reccomend setting up the engine to just be as versatile as you like it-- Make it modular so you can add text/events/music as you please, especially when considering possible DMCA takedowns

Since 2017 i've been interested in an undertale port for 3ds, since all the projects got cancelled a while ago, i thought this idea was done for, and that nobody else would bother trying, im really glad that this project has not been left by the community, and you have my thanks for that, good luck

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
