In Development (Demo)

**UNDERSWAP** (or **TS!UNDERSWAP)** by Team Switched is a fangame being developed for the team's interpretation of the popular role-swap AU, Underswap. It is being developed in GameMaker: Studio, and has been in development since March 2016.

This interpretation of Underswap is unique in which the original personalities of each character are kept intact and expanded instead of being swapped.

## About the AU

Team Switched's Underswap is an alternate interpretation of the popular AU which **preserves the original personalities** of the swapped characters and **expands on their roles** to a great extent.

The fangame itself was created with by the developers with an original experience from the source Undertale game in mind, as well as out of a dissatisfaction for the personality-swapping of characters in the popular interpretation of Underswap.

## Trivia

* Asgore enjoys drinking tea, tending to the flora in Ruined Home, and playing classical guitar.
* Papyrus does not smoke in Team Switched's Underswap. His original design's cigarette was replaced with a lollipop --- it was inspired by this video, beginning as a joke but then becoming part of the goofy skeleton's character.
* Papyrus used to work as a scientist along with Undyne and her predecessor.
* Papyrus enjoys fine dining, breathing, and long walks on the beach.
* Sans cannot change the shape of his pupils, contrary to popular interpretation. Though, he did find a pair of star-shaped glasses in the dump one time.
* Sans has the ability to use "shortcuts" like his Undertale counterpart. This allows him to perform seemingly-impossible pranks on Papyrus and his other friends.
* The name "Mettacrit" is the headcanon name given to Mettaton's ghost form in the Storyshift AU. This name is used as the canon name in Team Switched's Underswap.
