Fun "Romantic Awkward" fact!

My NaNoRenO 2022 entry, "One Romantic Date, Hold the Awkward!", was originally going to have both a Papyrus AND a Sans route.

However, in the interest of finishing on time, I took the scope knife and cut Sans' route from the game in pre-production. (Note: NaNoRenO is a one month VN jam. All entries must be submitted on or before the jam due date!)

On the off chance I decided to insert a Sans route, I left in a comment on where his contact button would be. But after releasing it, I decided that the VN works best as a Papyrus only game.

Never be afraid to cut down your scope to something more manageable!

Do you have any idea of what the papyrus dating sim would be like if it had a sans route! (Since I found out it was originally going to have one) Like how do you think it would go 😅

Context for those that didn't know! Yes, One Romantic Date, Hold the Awkward was originally going to have both a Papyrus and a Sans route. The logo originally had a Sans doodle, too.

The routes would have been two separate stories that didn't interfere with each other. But the concept would have been essentially the same.

The player would be going on a date with Sans somewhere (I honestly hadn’t decided where). And Alphys, Undyne, and Papyrus would have been the wingmen over the phone. Alphys would have still given cautious suggestions. Undyne would have still given over-the-top romantic suggestions. The difference would be Papyrus, who would give suggestions that pushed the player to be confident in themselves.

Now I don’t have any of that route written. The idea ended up on the cutting room floor because of the NaNoRenO constraints. And, honestly, I still believe the VN works much better as a standalone Papyrus centric story. But it’s fun to see the original concept!
