STORY Masterlist

WARNING

• This fanfic is still a work in progress. If you click on a link but reach the infamous 404 error page, it most probably means that the page in question has yet to be uploaded. Sorry for the inconvenience!
• Furthermore, as the story progresses, you are likely to find unfinished chapters. It is a personal choice to publish even WIP chapters in which the unfinished parts are summarized, so that the story can still be told, albeit in an unfinished form.
If you find text encased in this kind of formatting, it means that these are story notes summarizing what happens, and that these are parts of the fanfic that have yet to be properly written.
• I know that this is inconvenient and will likely disrupt your suspension of disbelief as well as at least some of your enjoyment during your read… But I suppose this is still better to at least give you the choice to read or not read, rather than to force you to wait eternally for chapters which will likely never be completed properly due to my lack of time.

• They are drawn from scratch: anything that doesn’t look like pixel-art has been made by myself. I hope you will pardon my drawing skills and be able to pretend that images of the characters shown in the story are in-universe realistic photos.
• They are pixel-art made by myself… But one thing to note is that most pixel-art elements have been traced. If you see pixel-art images of a Discord logo, of a Scalemate, of a camera, you will know that it was traced from some logos and images I easily found on Google Images — though I only trace “official content” and not images made by fanartists, if that makes any sense.
• Finally, most assets are sprites directly taken from the games, or assets I built by combining sprites from the games. Many of these sprites were originally found on The Spriters’ Resource or in other places visited by dataminers. I sometimes had “““some””” hand in making them, but it is limited to animating the GIF files, so it hardly counts (I simply took the already made different frames of an animation, perhaps edited them a bit if needed, and then mashed them together in order to make a GIF animation). The only thing it means is that I gathered sprites from the games, and either I’m using them exactly as they are, or I used them in order to create simplistic images for background tiles.

• Various icons from Whatsapp and Discord, usually taken through screenshots and cropped individually for use whenever a Whatsapp/Discord chat is displayed.
• This picture of Chuck Norris is used as WinDows Gulim’s profile picture. It has been on the internet for so long that, like a lot of memes, I was unable to trace it back to where it originally came from.
• It is of note that the YouTube video linked in chapter 6 did actually exist in 2016, though I cannot remember what its title was, or who made it. It is only when I moved the fanfic to GitHub that I noticed that the video has since been deleted. I kept the exact same link as a memento, although I had to make up the video title and YouTuber who allegedly made it.
• A picture of Lemonsnout, which I cropped in order to make chapter 12’s menu image.
• This Homestuck image, which is Steven’s wallpaper in Whatsapp. It is unfortunate that I found it through Pinterest and was unable to find the original artist… though I assume it might simply be some “official” content.
• A GIF of SANESSS, which I slightly edited then re-animated in order to have a transparent background.

Reconstructed
Undertale Fonts

• DotumChe (Undertale version): I recreated this font from scratch on FontStruct, using as reference a PNG file from the Undertale sprites obtained through datamining. The fonts used by the game are notably displayed on the Spriters’ Resource in this specific sheet.
• Papyrus (Undertale version):Similarly, I also recreated this font on FontStruct; however, I cloned this font from another font already available on FontStruct, and edited the cloned version so it could support a few more characters and looked closer to the original shown in the datamined PNG file.
• Comic Sans MS (Undertale version): Same as for the pixelated Papyrus font, I recreated this font on FontStruct after cloning it from this font, and then adding some characters the original font was lacking. When necessary, I also edited a few already present characters by comparing the font I had cloned to the PNG file showing the game’s original font in its entirety. When in doubt, I usually did prefer legibility over 100% accuracy, though.
• Determination Mono & Sans Web: Two similar fonts made by Abacadaba. Their fonts are perfect and complete, so I didn’t feel the need to remake them from scratch on FontStruct like I did with Papyrus, Comic Sans or DotumChe.

Undertale-Inspired Fonts

• Mercy: “Mercy, The Undertale font for battle buttons!” was made on FontStruct by MaxiGamer.
• Monster Friend Fore: Harry Wakamatsu (UkiyoMoji Fonts) made three fonts in their latest version: Monster Friend Fore, Center, and Back (which are meant to give respectively the actual text, the heart shapes, and the shadows behind the actual text). I use Monster Friend Center and Back as references when Monster Friend writings are present on images (e.g. on each chapter’s title banner), but these two are not uploaded or used on this website per se.
  • I am technically not satisfied with the fact that this font does not support some specific characters, like the original fan-made Comic Sans and Papyrus fonts. In the latter two fonts’ case, this was reason enough for me to make my own version of the font; but in this specific case, I decided to not remake it in order to respect Harry Wakamatsu’s license.
  • Indeed, Monster Friend and Mercy are not just fonts copied from the game’s data, but are instead constructed from scratch, based on the few letters that do appear in the game. I believe that in this case, it means that the fonts belong not to the game (who only uses an incomplete version), but to the designers who made the complete version.
  • UkiyoMoji Font’s license made their wish to avoid reuploading their font quite clear, so I assume that taking their font as reference, only to make another public version on FontStruct, would be completely immoral.
  • In fact, if it turns out that using Monster Friend here goes against UkiyoMoji Fonts’ wishes, I will remove it as a font and only use it in images.
