MusicTale

**MusicTale**(Also known as Music!; formerly known as "Musical Tales") is an Undertale AU created by the YouTuber, GrowlingPanda. The project was first started sometime in late 2015/ early 2016, starting out as a fangame. The fangame, however, was cancelled and an animated series that takes place during the True Pacifist Route, that was also cancelled later on, took it's place. As of now, MusicTale is a comic series and possibly some animated shorts.

## Premise

MusicTale is supposed to be an unofficial sequel to a the original Undertale, albeit in a different timeline. At the beginning, Frisk finds themselves in a space station orbiting a post-apocalyptic planet known as Bossatronia, and must then traverse an island dubbed Skystrike to find their way home.

## Major Differences from Undertale

* All of the characters are replaced with either YouTubers, musicians, or OCs.
* More special fights will take place in the Genocide Route. Characters include Endigo/Toriel, Maya/Napstablook, Technocat/Doggo, and Kitcha/Alphys.
* Instead taking place underground, the story takes place on an island called Skystrike, which is on a planet known as Bosstronia.
* Corresponding with the new overall setting, the main locations are different (Ex.The Ruins are now a space station; Waterfall is a desert known as SandDune).
* Other AU's will be involved. The only ones confirmed at the moment are InkTale and ErrorTale.

## Soundtrack

MusicTale is to feature a soundtrack composed almost wholly by Panda. Most of the tracks are remixes of tracks from Undertale, sans a few original tracks usually saved for new boss battles. Additionally, the genre of most of these tracks is a subgenre of the Electronic genre of music, though other genres like Rock, Metal, and Jazz can also be found. All music is composed on FL Studio 12.
