Okay an AU i've been thinking about for a while now and for once really don't want to abandon (at least I'm trying to, but I can't prmiise anything)
I think most of you know about UT!Spamtenna, specifically the TrashHeapAU, so I thought a while back already: What If more Darkners were in UT? with my first subject being Ramb and Eram.
More infos under the cut!
I've been trying to figure out designs for some of them as seen here and also their location and how'd they partake in the original UT story. Spamtenna is also there but I already posted their designs.
The Mikes: I had the funny thought of the Mikes acting out a "three kids in a trenchcoat" typa thing and... just. Went with that. So now they are three kids (more like teenagers) that pretend to be "Mike" while also trying to figure out who that "Mike" really is (so nothing changed in that regard). You can't battle them directly, their battle is more like their minigames, and compared to UT it's more like the "Dating Start!" gimmick, where you have a battle-like UI but don't actually fight them. That also means you can't encounter them in Genocide.
Seam and Jevil: So far I thought about their shop being located in Snowdin, but I'm not 100% sure about it yet. I designed Seam with the thought of them living there, but Jevil's design is inspired by the Madjicks, who you encounter in Hotland. So still trying to figure this out. What I am more certain about is that you can battle against Jevil, and if you spare him, you can meet him in Seam's shop and talk to both of them. But still need to figure out the rest.
Also bc I kinda struggled to truly convey my Jevil design in a way i like, I tried to create a battle sprite for him in the style of UT
Could be better buuuut eh. I think it's fine for a first try at re-creating the UT style.
Idk this probably isn't new, but I think the concept is quite interesting, and I still wanna figure out the other characters, this is just what I had at hand atm.
I also have thoughts about the other's mentioned above, but that's for another time.
