Apparently gonna be some Undertale announcement with the upcoming Famitsu issue?

Huh. Weird. Usually they try to keep Asriel out of promotional imagery for the game...

Yeah, but "No Asriel, ever." Has been the one consistent trend in official Undertale press/media. It just kind of caught me off guard seeing him there.

after the ending it released an “epilogue” in the form of two novels, and from there it’s apparently become this sprawling semi-official fanwork that mostly lacks hussie’s input and is instead made between a bunch of collaborators, with all the drama, messiness, and missed deadlines that entails

I haven’t touched it since the comic itself ended, probably a wise decision

Technically it has Hussie's Input, in that he's basically telling them yes or no and written both dialogue and I believe a narrative outline. But no, Homestuck will never die.

The Genocide run is still the most fascinatingly written piece of media I've ever experienced; there's always been neat meta-commentary games and whatnot if you know where to look, but very few that involve you, the player, and your ever-so-human decisions and what they say about you, and more importantly, how you feel about them.

I'm a month and a half late to this one, but god, yes. It's really written perfectly.

Flowey calling out people who just watch it instead of doing it themselves is also :discourse:

The Famitsu issue's out and there's a translation of the Deltarune info in it.

quote:

The general outline of all chapters is complete.

The first draft of all the cut-scene dialogue is complete.

They started development on Chapter 2 several months ago and development is going well.

Despite hurting his wrist 7 months ago, Toby and the team have been able to develop things at a faster pace than they did with Chapter 1 – all thanks to the support of his team.

They’re very confident in how the game’s progressing, but it’s still going to be a while before it’s all complete, though.

The rest of the game is supposed to come out all at once right?

Though if each chapter was roughly as long as the first one if not longer I actually wouldn’t mind an episodic release that much honestly.

Ralsei should wear the hat, not saying this in a "shadow Ralsei is better" kind of way, but in a "his hat is really cute and he should wear it all the time" kind of way.

Considering it's Toby Fox, I'm sure there'll be a way to toggle wearing and not wearing the hat.

And that eventually, his icon next to his health will update between the two.

I feel like the nurse outfits are a sign that they'll be putting on costumes for certain actions rather than just a point or bow all the time.

I’d also like to see them implement some kind of level up system in this game for people who want to go that route (or at the very least, have some way of increasing your max HP)

True, and there are armor upgrades in the first chapter when it comes to minimizing damage.

Also since everybody seems to be fine I’m going to assume the whole NotChara scene at the end of the first chapter was Kris just very dramatically about to cut into some pie. Though that still leaves the part where he literally rips his Soul out and tosses it into a birdcage in question.

The player can still move the soul a little bit during the ending so it was probably a means of denying the player pie

Honestly though I don't think that scene was meant to be " It's NotChara Time here comes the stabbings!" so much as it was Kris returning to how they are when the player is gone. If they're meant to be this universe's Frisk then anything can happen because we don't know what Frisk was like outside of the player's control

It's because you're too kind-hearted to eat ALL THE PIE. Chara is not so merciful.

Given the way they dress and the fact that the Dreemurrs are their adoptive family, I always assumed Kris was meant as a stand-in for the Chara/First Fallen Human we never really met in the last game.

In terms of the role, definitely, although they almost certainly aren't meant to be the physical incarnation of Chara in this universe considering that their skin color is different from Chara's

Response to an old post and a bit offtopic, but this reminded me about a scene in Capernaum where a Mickey Mouse toy plays the leekspin song

I'm pretty sure they just grabbed some bootleg toy when making the movie, and I gotta wonder about all the different moving parts that came together to make that meme song appear in a Lebanese movie.
