I've thought long and hard
about this... I've decided to
discontinue the comic.
I want to reboot it as a visual novel.
NEW ROYALS will be how this story
will be continued, and some day,
concluded.
There's many reasons to why I've
decided to follow this path going forward.
I want to see these characters come to life
and at their fullest.
This comic started as an askblog on Tumblr.
This version started as a redraw.
But I want to start this story fresh and untied
to the 6 year old original.
The reboot will tell the same story
but will have a stronger foundation and pacing.
I want the premise of:
“Everybody lives, see how the fallen children grow up”
I feel it loses it’s impact with Asriel as a teenager.
While I still feel Asriel growing up faster because
Of his time as Flowey is a powerful narrative,
I feel that story can be told without that metaphor.
I would like to give the kids more time to be the same
age and have more down time.
The original (and redraw by extension) runs too quickly
from plot point to plot point.
Life changing event to life changing event.
Character lose focus and screentime because the plot
needs to move forward.
It’s a problem that has put chapter 3 in a tough position
to write. I feel a fresh start is necessary.
And while I could just start the comic again,
I would prefer it to be less confusing to explain.
I already am making a fangame and know how to code decently.
I would like to see what this can be like as a game,
And realistically I have to chose one way to tell this story.
So I chose the visual novel and the reboot.
I hope you all can understand and stick with me as we
start this journey over again
One last time...
text ends, showing the kids happy and drawn in color.

[i would have liked a webcomic reboot, but yeah, it would be rather confusing, the current option feels best. i'm glad this is up and going tho, and your whole soul-sharing idea sounds AMAZING. the utdr fandom really works wonders. anyway great art great au can't wait to see how this goes haha how do i end this---]
Also a visual novel sounds really cool
