How To Make An Undertale Au

[edit 2021] Well, I fabricated this journal back in 2018 and I take to say that even if it helped someone, I call up my tips were still kind of more subjective than objective so at present I'm here to set that x'D

You thought to brand your own AU but you don't know how to do information technology and you want to take the making of it seriosuly? In that case, I hope this guide will assist you a niggling

HOW TO START

A very of import pace to take once you take very base idea, expect over the internet if at that place isn't any AU "too similar" to yours. A thought like this is ridiculous and why should you lot limit your creativity or modify your idea simply considering somebody made something similar? Unfortunately in Undertale fandom when you lot're the creator you can ofttimes run into people who are disquisitional about similar ideas and I think nobody wants that. Unless you lot are pretty tough and don't care about opinions of other people.
Plan carefully, step past step. specify the main characters, start thinking up story, find the primary thread and expand it. Although remember, don't get excited as well much. When yous do, you can hands come upwards with random plots that doesn't fit into the present moment in your history or whatever signal at all, merely y'all keep getting the urge to add it in and this mode, yous disturb the unabridged story making procedure with many random ideas laying effectually.
Slowly, footstep by step, develop the story, but if you lot really have an amazing idea that cannot get out of your head, write information technology somewhere in the margin, maybe you can enter it at a later stage of creation. Yet don't write every unmarried thought that comes to your mind, call up intensly if information technology'south worth saving for later, unless you're in for another large mess to disturb your work!

Go along your script clean and organized. Undertale has a lot of characters to deal and tinker with and making OCs for it is a thing too, so it adds even more to the making procedure.

HOW TO COME Upwardly WITH Practiced Graphic symbol Design

Since you managed to write a rather long script (not necessarily the whole story), you certainly imagined the appearance of the characters. On this basis, you can create a pattern. So how exercise you exercise it, if you don't know how to draw apparel and your idea of the character is not clear enough? Look for clothes on the internet, you tin can even model on your own wardrobe! Remeber, outfits needs to fit into your story time (similar, if you're makin AU that happens in medieval times, you need to fit in with their clothes. notwithstanding don't worry, Google be, yous can find ideas through that.)

HOW SHOULD I Proper name MY AU

Well, the name should exist related to the history of your AU. However, most often all English language names are occupied past this point, so it requires a lot of creativity to find unique one, especially if yous are hitting at the AU to be recognizable, it shouldn't be chosen as a dozen other AUs.

1. Detect the all-time word that describes your AU.

2. Check if at that place'due south an AU already named like that

three. If the word you found is already used as a proper name of other AU:

- select the second "shut plenty" word that means the aforementioned just is writted differently example: funny , ridiculous , laughable , ludicrous , farcical , preposterous (all are similiar discussion of "funny")

- use your give-and-take in other language, example: Lighttale can be Hikaritale (hikari is light in japenese)

- name your AU after something that'south not fifty-fifty similiar with your AU history or is related to small story item (optional)
ATTENTION: Wait out for a name that'south unique just also a proper noun that's easy to remember! Then anyone who comes around your AU won't forget it right abroad

HOW TO MAKE MY AU POPULAR?

Great story and eye-communicable character design. The greatest popularity of AU tin can get outset of all through a comic, thank you to which you tin show the world even better your AU. The 2d thing is animation: animations concenter people as well equally comics, they evidence even more than how you see your own AU when y'all illustrate information technology in animation. Of course allow's not forget writting, even if it MAY non become the attention you're looking for. People like to see in their manifestly sight instead of trying to imagine that themselves.

HOW TO DEVELOP CHARACTER PERSONALITY?

The best way is to use your characters "in exercise", is roleplay

Roleplay is commonly a conversation between two people or more (which is not recommended), each of which uses their characters to communicate with the characters of the other person, playing scenes of different situations, for example: in danger, tranquility day, even dark funs or sin scenes

Although static roleplay is not always very helpful in character evolution, it is best to play scenes in which characters are in danger, this formula is unremarkably much more interesting and helps in character evolution

Some other style is to requite yourself to your own character. example: if you like to make a pizza, make your graphic symbol like it too. Even if you similar: collect mugs, brand your graphic symbol practice it besides.
Still remember that your work is nonetheless simplified here since characters in Undertale already have some personality you can either dig deeper into or throw it all away, giving them their own new personality.

THINGS You lot "MAY/SHOULD" Avert

Alternative UNIVERSE≠ SANS

Yes, we all know how Sans is the middle of entire fandom of Undertale and if you are aiming to go your AU popular, at that place's no amend style than shove Sans in as a master grapheme. However at the same time we're all being overfed how many Sanses are out there (endeavour to open a notepad and write some Sanses out of your memory, y'all'll get what I mean)
So, what well-nigh information technology then? Tin can I make an AU with main character as Sans or not?
Answer is, whatever fits your story, yet information technology may be but "another Sans AU" if you won't come up with intriguing storyline that involes not only the said Sans but other characters. As we know fandom really hits on either: Sans, Frisk, Chara or Gaster
There's still characters that need more love.

Making AU of an AU

If y'all accept your favorite AU, it's not exactly the wisest idea to brand alternative thing out of information technology, it's someone's idea that's already an alternative reality so that'due south just another culling of alternative, that'due south not original at all. Lots of aspects volition need to be like to the creator of the original one, limiting your creativity. Even if yous choose to not follow creator's steps and ways of thinking, information technology may be in spotligt of critique from people who came from the alternative universe you altered.

Alternative Glitchtale'southward

Aforementioned as above, alt. Glitchtale's are just copies of Glitchtale by Camila. We already have a big agglomeration of Glitchtale alternatives and information technology needs a real brainstorm to become something creative out of that.

Undertale is non only about SKELETONS

Yup, at that place's a lot of other characters like Dreemurrs, Undyne, Alphys, even Mettaton, don't focus on skeletons just, simply lake stated in the Sans instance in a higher place.

Think outside the box

Fifty-fifty if Undertale AUs usually focuses on Underground/Surface, doesn't mean you lot can't create something original here also! Who knows, you AU can have identify in some mystical give-and-take where big purple mushrooms talks.

YOU CAN'T GIVE FRISK/CHARA GENDER!!!

That is a really annoying thing among Undertale community. When you requite Frisk/Chara gender people will either whine that Frisk/Chara should be different gender that'south their subjective headcanon or yell that they cannot have a gender at all. Y'all can never satisfy people... But why should yous do equally people want? Only because they are horribly sticked to "genderless" characters or "this character should be this gender because that's how I similar information technology" for some reason? Frisk is genderless so you can choose a gender in a game to feel connected more with the character, Toby Fox's words, so, what's the agree up?

Welp, if information technology helped somehow, then I'm glad ^^ please comment if you retrieve I could write near something else hither!~
