The Future of Omega Timeline: Poppy's Story
I am writing this way in advance, I have finished animating all of the main cutscenes, and I'm mainly working on the music for the "Act 1 Finale", as I write. I wanted to write this to talk about the fact I even got to this point at all, and what comes next for this project.
For starters, like most usually say when they reach a milestone such as this, I never thought this project would reach this many people.
I started this project with the mindset that no one was gonna really pay attention to it. The concept has always been pretty niche, so I was mostly doing it for myself. ... And yet, two years later, the blog is nearing 900 followers.
I'd like to thank everyone that has stuck by these two years, seen the asks, read the story, done fanart for the AU...
... Of course, let's not forget to thank all of my lovely friends and team members (Dihze, Lolika, Doku, Cap'n Toad, Tyrone, AJ, Cerulean, SKL, Mrky) that helped me throughout this whole thing. This would have never been possible without them.
... I cannot stress this enough, really.
Half of the fun of working on Poppy, for me, is always the back and forth between me and my friends. Talking about hypothetical plot points, how characters would answer asks, how they'd feel about other characters, or the OT should look or sound— that is and will always be what brings me the most joy about working on a project like this.
Not to mention all the friends that I've made through working on Poppy. Jakei, Yugo, poody_blue, Cerulean, blaize.mayes, and so many more I can name off the top of my head that have influenced Poppy to become much bigger than I originally intended.
Even though I will be the first to say that this AU is not perfect, and really, it never will.... It has reached so many people and inspired others, even brought more attention to the Omega Timeline itself, that I am honestly glad it exists as it is.
Originally, I was planning to do just like, 5 sprite comics and end it in less than a year. But now I've made 3 sprite based animations, totaling around 20 minutes, and many comic pages, a 30 long original soundtrack, and the blog has almost reached 900 followers.
It's hard to believe I did all of that, even if I had a lot of help along the way.
Regardless of how reception turns out (I'm still quite unsure on how people are going to feel about it...), it's honestly a huge thing for someone like me to have reached this point.
If you don't know my history with the Undertale community, I don't tend to finish or see through most of my projects.
But now that I've finished this video, I feel I am confident enough with saying that I am going to see this project through, one way or another.
Regardless, I figure people are going to have questions After the finale is out. I've lined up some of the ones I can think off the top of my head:
"Is the blog over?"
No, not yet, obviously. It's why it's called the "Act 1 Finale". There will be more in the future.
"How many acts will there be?"
3. What the other two are like, I cannot tell you, but we have a promising outline.
"What will happen to Poppy and the rest?"
All in due time. Did you read the ask above?
"What about Poppy Buys Milk?"
Like I've said before, the game is going to happen. It canonically takes place before the events of act 1 finale, specifically before "Happy Birthday, Mon" (Present), so most of the characters are unaware of what befalls them later.
"Are there plans to redo the act 1 things?"
Only the Dusted and Poppy spar. That is genuinely the only comic I'd like to remake in some fashion. It's bad and dumb.
As for more scenarios that ocurr during Act 1's time, though, I have no comments yet.
"When will character asks return?"
Once Act 2 starts. But that will take a bit to get it out.
To make up for it, though, I will likely be posting scrapped concepts, concept art, unused or old music, and story drafts, so I hope that'll hold everyone over until we can start.
... That's all for now. Again, huge thanks to everyone for sticking around and checking this little blog. If anyone has any Omega Timeline and otherwise out of character questions, you can send them here. (I've cleared out the ask box, so I'll be able to catch them more easily).
I feel like I don’t say this very often, but I want to thank my followers and the people that just sort of drift by every now and then for reblogging and signal boosting my work, and the stuff I try to sell. With the way tumblr and social media handles things lately it feels like its been a real uphill climb to try and get noticed, not to mention get business around here.
I really appreciate the effort you guys do -even the teeny tiny bits-, without it I probably would have just given up altogether in regards to doing art online.
