v0.99

This is a sub-page of Proto:Undertale.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

This build was compiled on September 8th, 2015 at UTC 01:31:32 AM and the manifest is from September 8th, 2015 at UTC 02:35:30 AM. Build initially found by Dusk. This build appears similar, if not the same one seen in the UNDERTALE Release Trailer posted on Toby's YouTube Channel.

Seeing that this build predates the final release of the game by only a week, much of the game's content is already in place. Despite this, there is a sizable number of differences and changes present, suggesting that quite a lot was still being tweaked just before release.

This build can be obtained by downloading from a Steam Manifest using the following command inside the Steam Console: download_depot 391540 391541 7991099072100261027

General Differences#

Missing Dataminer Messages#

The "attention_hackerz_no_2" script exists but is completely blank in this build of the game, meaning either the script was made and no text was thought of just yet, or the text inside the script was written with code comments which GameMaker Studio stopped leaving in when compiling.

The "demonx" message telling people to not spoil secrets inside scr_namingscreen is also completely missing.

In the script for the question of who Alphys has a crush on, the hidden note from Alphys is missing.

Name Creation Screen#

The Name Creation screen in this version is missing the "aaaaaa" name easter egg.

The screen is also missing some extra checks for when you already have a name set that are present in v1.00. More specifically, it is missing the check to see if you are currently doing a "True Reset", and the check to see if your current name is set to "frisk" or not.

The text in the instructions menu also differs, namely the "Enter", "Shift" and "CTRL" text is missing and the version number says v0.99.

v0.99	v1.00

Missing Sprites#

Two sprites are missing from this version of the game, that being spr_circlebullet_noc and spr_firebullet_noc, which are both duplicates of already existing sprites in the game, being spr_circlebullet_sm and spr_firebullet_center.

Dialog Differences#

There are multiple pieces of dialog that have slightly different control code: Instead of ending with a "\C/", they were changed to end with a "\C".

Name Creation Screen (Name Already Set)#

v0.99	v1.00
`A name had already been chosen.`	`A name has already been chosen.`

Past tense to present tense.

Undyne (Napstablook's Farm Call)#

v0.99	v1.00
`* He and his cousin` `stayed behind to run` `the family farm.`	`* Them and their cousin` `stayed behind to run` `the family farm.`
`* But no one's seen` `his cousin for a` `long time.`	`* But no one's seen` `their cousin for a` `long time.`

Napstablook gets referred to as he/him instead of they/them.

Papyrus and Undyne Hotel Call#

v0.99	v1.00
`* A hotel?? Cool`	I've never stayed at a hotel before!

An early version of one of Undyne's lines when calling her and Papyrus outside the MTT Resort.

Mad Dummy (Staring Into Eyes in Dump)#

v0.99	v1.00
`* (You stare into each` `others eyes for a` `moment...)`	`* (You stare into each` `other's eyes for a` `moment...)`

Apostrophe catastrophe.

Mad Dummy#

v0.99	v1.00
`* Guooooohhhh`

This line from Mad Dummy mistakenly had an extra asterisk.

Cooking Show Fridge#

v0.99	v1.00
`* (It's a fridge.)` `* (I didn't program it to` `contain anything yet.)`	`* (It's a fridge.)` `* (It's strangely warm.)`

Placeholder dialogue for interacting with the fridge during Mettaton's cooking show.

Mettaton NEO Check#

v0.99	v1.00
`* METTATON NEO - 90 ATK 9 DEF` `* Dr. Alphys's greatest invention` `.`	`* METTATON NEO - 90 ATK 9 DEF` `* Dr. Alphys's greatest` `invention.`

The third line break in the dialogue used to be after "invention" but before the ending dot, causing only the dot to appear on the third line. Obviously, this looks bad, so the line breaks were adjusted to look more natural.

Item Differences#

Astronaut Food#

The Astronaut Food in v0.99 heals 21 HP just like in v1.00, but the item description reveals at some point it used to heal 20 HP.
