Will Gaster and/or FRIEND show up next chapter
considering the janny's sleep schedule, there is a decent chance he is brazilian
Sorry OP, but this isn't a culture war agitprop or shill thread so it won't be allowed to stay up. We need more room for 40 identical "eastern women vs western women" threads.
Beggars gonna beg
your reaction when deltarune is nowhere to be seem in the direct?
>>740434523DON'T TURN OFF THE CHANNELI HAVE A INSIDE SOURCE THAT CHAPTER 5 IS GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED ANYDAY NOW
>>740434289This is about sending a message. I want the nigger janny to be paranoid. I want him to be glued to the screen 24/7 looking for potential deltarune threads
>>740434708technically it can be any day from july 1 to december 31
>>740434846Around august is the most likely since it needs to be translated + bugtested on all versionsIt sucks but.. we must continue the wait.
>>740434523I will simply continue to WAIT as I done so before
>>740434779Make some Uma threads too for double paranoia
>>740434936I've been saying august to september for many weeks, and I got called a doomer for that lmao
before the thread gets wiped i just want to saychapter 5 is coming out on september 30thsource is i said so
>>740435162is he gonna stay silent on the 11 years of UT too?
I wonder if this has anything to do with janny applications being open as well. Maybe he's just making himself look busy out of fear that he'll be replaced.
>>740434779Holy fucking based.no sleep for the janjan
>>740435247Yes.i have wiretaps in toby's office and this is all true information. he's in a bunker because he's afraid south americans are going to kill him over the translation fiasco. he knows the only thing that will appease them is a new deltarune chapter. this is FACTUAL.
>>740435116tbf I didn't anticipate for Toby and his team to somehow become even slower at churning out chapters. I mean, one would hope speed of development were to increase somewhat over the course of 5 years
>>740435629Its probably a small team (ignoring outside contracted help for translation and other shit). Wouldn't surprise me if his core team is less than 10 people overall if you exclude toby and temmie.
>>740435629It definitely has, it's just harder to tell because he's also become less communicative over the years. 3 was stuck in dev hell for years, but once he hired the producer, 4 was done within about a year. 5 has been about the same. But having to go through the pre-release hurdles every time they're finished with a chapter or two adds a lot of time. Thankfully, a lot of those things don't require the main team to be directly involved. Most of them have been working on chapter 6+ for months now.
>>740435851He had around 3 people aside from him and Temmie actively working on the game before Chapter 2 released. He hired more people from then, apparently they had to look through 1000 applicants for a new hire. After that, they hired a producer, changed producers, and hired more people. The new producer apparently managed to fix the development hell and streamline everything so everyone is working to their best capacity. We would've had the full game by now if Toby had gotten a producer back when development for Chapter 1 started.
>>740435851His team is bigger now and more experienced than it was during the ch2 days plus they have a producer now. Once they stopped wasting time on trying to switch engines and sat down to make ch2, they were able to complete and release it in little over a year. It is taking more and more time to put out new chapters despite the quality staying the same if not actually getting worse
>>740436378It's hilarious when people try to argue DELTARUNE did NOT have a development hell, because it very clearly did.
>>740435959>Most of them have been working on chapter 6+ for months nowMost of them are fixing bugs on all the different ports. Even if it were true, I doubt those bums put in more than 6 hours of work per week, they're still heavily depended on Toby pointers to get shit done so it might as well mean nothing
since this thread is bound to get wiped soon anyway, i wanna say i've mostly lost the hype for deltarune, i haven't managed to muster up the energy to play chapters 3 and 4. i'm more interested in the story than any of the "gameplay" it has to offer, and even that's been dampened by these insane WAITs between releases.
>>740433874FRIEND will definitely show up. Field of Pink and Gold, cat-themed chapter to mirror Snowdin dogs, the cat drawings in Toby's bluesky. Gaster I'm not so sure. A teaser at best since 6 is his chapter.>>740434779Based as fuck. Keep fighting the good fight.
>>740435247I would GENUINELY be worried if he skipped an Undertale anniversary when he has never done so unlike Deltarune.
>>740435629It has been a faster team, but only after producer was hired. Before him everything was SLOW.
>>740436746That's bound to happen simply because of the sheer WAIT. It's surprising there's still so many autists like us still obsessed with it
>>740436609>>740437063A lot of ch2's time was wasted on trying to switch engines. They really only sat down to make ch2 in May2020 and they were able to release it in September2021 with the translation coming out like a month later iircCh5 has been in development since like October2024 and is on track to release withing the next couple of months (allegedly). Ch5 has taken about as much time as ch2 despite the bigger and better organized team
>>740434523Just keep WAITing while being worried about Toby because the silence will TRULY become weird if that happens.
>>740435629You know, back when Chapter 2 released I thought to myself "well, now they have the foundations of the game figured out this should be smooth sailing, just a matter of iterating on the code that already exists, right?" I remember even Toby thought so in a blogpost/newsletter. (laughs).>>740435959Chapter 5 has been worked on since 2024 while they WAITED for the game maker update. And it definitely had some preliminary work when the 3+4+5 bundle was defined in 2021.>>740436609The whole dev cycle has been a joke from the start. First was doing chapter 1 with the UT crew despite the fact he had resources to get a proper programmer after UT's success. Then he dicked around by looking for other engines for a year before going back to square one, then another 2 years for chapter 2. Then dicking around with Chapter 3's gimmicks that nobody asked for and struggling to get them to a half decent pacing.MAYBE chapter 4 was the point things got on track, but I'm not trusting this since we don't know exactly what was the dev cycle for it and chapter 5 seems to be struggling for no reason right now.
>>740433874the hidden image still sucks
>>740436950>>740437468It's a puzzling because he was very vocal about issues with shit like the game maker update. What's going on now?
>>740437259Scopecreep could be the reason the chapters are taking so long. Toby keeps adding more and more shit to them.
>>740437631The only explanation is that the translation drama affected him and maybe something happened internally that really fucked him up. No matter what I will only get worried when it's the 9th with no news.
>>740436662>Most of them are fixing bugs on all the different ports.This is from over 6 months ago. Reminder that doomfags don't know the first thing they're talking about.
>>740437635Well I hope this time around the extra effort was spent on improving the battle system and regular enemies and not implementing a bubble trouble minigame
>>740438071This means Chapter 6 will only be ready in 2028 unless it's a super short chapter.
>>740438175Sadly, I doubt that. I think Toby is probably adding more minigames ans gimmicks. This is stuff he's genuinely passionate about.
>>740438175LolLmao
>>740437635That's what the producer was hired to handle, and that's what he did. An entire board got cut from chapter 3.
>>740438415True, Chapter 3 was only actually finished thanks to him. But maybe Toby is still trying to make chapters more complicated compared to 2
>>740438071Yeah but like I said, they probably do fuck all work on their own because Toby is a giga pussy that doesn't want to upset people. I might lightheartedly clown on him for being a turbo weeb but I will not let this horrendous devtime slide
>>740438359>This is stuff he's genuinely passionate about.I doubt it, Toby is supposedly passionate about things like bullet hells and turn-based JRPGs. The constant minigames in lieu of expanding these parts of the game are a compromise on what should be Deltarune's truest vision.
>>740436609I think everyone stopped arguing that after Chapter 3. There was no way to keep denying it.
>>740438175NOOOO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU RETARDTHE BUBBLE TROUBLE MINIGAME IS A GENIUS META COMMENTARY ON THE UNDERTALE FANDOM AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT YOU'RE JUST AN ILLITERATE FAGGOT THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THEMESI BET YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE FAGGOTS WHO THOUGHT GASTER WAS GOING TO BE A REAL CHARACTER INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE REAL STORY ELEMENTS LIKE HOW SAD SUSIE'S LIFE IS AND HOW ESCAPISM IS BAD
>>740434523I will make a Bluesky account and call Toby a nigger.
>>740438629That SHOULD be true but everytime he mentions his plans for the game he always mentions minigames or gimmicks or anything super advanced. He clearly wants Deltarune to be like a big budget Nintendo game that has several gameplay styles on it.
>>740438359Didn't he grow up on bullet hell games? Did he suddenly get a bout of nostalgia for flashgames? wtf no one pick up undertale to slog through Metaton's pacing halting minigames, this shit is by far the worst part of these games
>>740438415>let's make the chapter that was already very lean in actual content have even less contenttruly a genius move therethought I suspect producer-sama had a role in not letting chapter 4 be a fucking maze and not having the bullshit train puzzle in the noelle segment
I'm starting to think Chapter 5 is gonna suck HARD.
>>740439063He grew up on Nintendo games which do have a lot of minigames on it above all. People compared UT/DR to Mario and Luigi but those games are filled with several minigames, for example
What is Susie like in bed
>>740437259"In development" is a hugely loaded term with this game because any number of devs could be working on any part of any given chapter at any time. Toby started putting people on bullet patterns for chapter 5 since as far back as summer 2023. That's technically "in development" but it's not nearly the same level of development as when they're trying to get the game ready for translation and testing.
>>740438629>>740439063I think it's a matter of>Toby wants his games to be accessible so he tones down the difficulty everywhere and puts minigames because he is afraid the average player will get bored with the jrpg gameplay>Toby has to make everything quirky twerky, so this is why deltarune has a hundred one-off gimmicks and why undertale has an unfinished hardmode because OF COURSE he had to fill it with unique enemies and quirky snail pie bullshit instead of just making the normal enemies give more damage or the bullets faster
>>740439530Maybe the gameplay just isn't for you, chud
>>740439487Full delevopment for Chapter 5 started on September, so that's when Toby actually did things for it like the team is doing for 6
>>740439487When I said since October2024 I meant that's when most of the team switched to working on it, a little bit of work has been done to it before that, just like some work has been done to ch2 while trying to switch engines. Both chapters have a similar timeline development wise despite the 3 year difference in team size and experience
>>740439270We've already seen how she would be, she snores obnoxiously af.
>>740439236Hell yeah man. I can't see any realistic chance of it being good given the direction the game took.>a full repeat of chapter 4The Knight shows up again, the dark world is mostly devoid of new characters, more gimmicks in place of enemies and bosses, we see the main characters get emotional again, more lore drops that don't really advance the mystery boxes, another light world segment centered on teen relationship drama.>a roaring endgame chapterYet another complete change in tone and direction, and also making 6 and 7 an overextended final stretch that will get old very fast once it comes out.Besides, there is no way we're getting a good follow up on things like Asgore.
If we don't get anything this next Direct then I think this whole translation controversy has affected even more than I previously thought. Assuming no info on the Direct, I think he's afraid of posting anything since he might get backlash like before, and he intends on doing a shadow drop since that's the only thing he can post that guarantees a positive response.
Has deltarune ever been announced at a direct? or is this one of those things people just hype themselves on
>>740436346People underestimate how useful producer-kun is. He's the one who saved Chapter 3 from devhell and gave the concept of deadlines for Toby. 5 would be in an even worser state if we didn't have him. He's also a huge tendie like Toby
>>740433874>GasterNo.>FRIENDProbably. Maybe.If FRIEND shows up, we will also see FRIEND's owner: Chara!
>>7404406473+4 were announced April last year on the direct
>>740440647You are retarded.
>>740440647Literally 3 and 4 last year.
>>740440452>I think this whole translation controversy has affected even more than I previously thoughtYeah man. I'm sure they're all quaking in their boots. Just too petrified to work on the game. Get a fucking grip retard.
>>740440836Can you fucking read
>>740440759Chara being a catgirl is hotter and funnier than Chara being FRIEND'S owner, even if realistic their only connections is being demons
>>740440836Yeah man I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that Toby ceased all activity on his accounts right after posting the response.
>>740440836That anon said Toby is afraid of a reaction but is still working on the game as normal
>>740440452I pointed this out various times in the last few weeks and I got called a schizo for this.He has been accumulating a lot of controversies in the recent years with Materia, Omocat, OFF and now the translation bullshit which was the first time he failed to defuse the anger. This is after 10 years of him being called nothing but a genius for UT.I feel the overall vibe of the fandom has gone to shit as well. Shayy is canceled (I hate him as much as you all, but he was liked elsewhere), no huge meme theories like Woody, no Spamton tier meme to distract people, no constant teasers. And this is just a single year after the last release, who knows how hellish the next 3+ years WAIT will be.
Guys, why hasn't Toby said anything in a while? If only he had made some kind of announcement that he wasn't going to be giving development updates for some time. This must be related to some retarded internet drama. People were mean to him on the internet for a few days and now he's too sad to talk anymore. That's the only explanation.
>>740441143Toby literally made a teaser/shitpost about chairs right after this post.
>>740441215>Noelle will sit in the chairWoah...
>>740441143>same retarded argumentYeah, sure staying completely silent about merch drops, anniversaries, colabs, or the shitposting he used to do is the same as simply not giving teasers.
Toby hasn't posted because he's still recovering from a botched monolid surgery he got a few months ago. The team has talked about this at length. Please be patient.
>>740441215That retard forgets even during the previous periods of silence about Deltarune proper he still posted about other subjects frequently.
>>740441278That chair? FRIEND.
>>740441215>>740441295>>740441374No, I think my argument that Toby is choosing to stay silent because there's nothing to talk about yet makes a lot more sense than your argument that a nearly 40 year old man was scared off the internet by a bunch of mexicans.
I think the absolute funniest Direct announcement would be this>dog gets on screen>says Chapter 5 will be released soon but doesn't provide an actual release date>at the end also says Spanish and Portuguese translations for Undertale are being worked on and will be released soon
Can't believe to this day we still have people that deny the controversy had absolutely no effect on Toby.
>>740441521>nothing to talk aboutOh sure, a new vinyl release, the first anniversary of the latest release, projects from his friends, there is nothing to be talked about.
>>740441418Noelle will sit on Dogeny Deltarune?
>>740441521You have to remember, anon, the latinx are extremely full of themselves. They really do believe they 'owned' the dog by throwing that shit fit.
The WAIT will not pay off. Remember Duke Nukem, Kingdom Hearts, Samurai Jack, Chainsaw Man, etc. You'll get some shitty yuri and the power and friendship and it won't even be schizophrenic at all.
>>740441563You know, that faggot should work in the korean translation since the demo had one
>>740441676They kinda do. He's still hiding lmao.
>>740441673Forget it anon, that dude lives in his own world, trying to reason with him is pointless.
>>740441657Can't believe to this day we still have people that pretend the controversy is the reason he isn't giving development updates. Go take your dramafagging to reddit.
>>740441732The dog can come out of hiding whenever he wants but the latinx will never escape being ugly monkey people.
>>740441709The worst thing is gonna be when Suselle gets confirmed. If it happens in Chapter 5 then it's either gonna be non-stop shitposting until Chapter 7, or the threads just straight up die.
>>740441709Sometimes it does pay off. That said...>You'll get some shitty yuri and the power and friendshipThat would be decent enough in the grand scheme of things, it's just the same as the pacifist ending. We're probably getting an entire fart sniffing sequence about how we're bad for playing the game instead.
>>740441865>Suselle gets confirmedDeltarune Purple will save us.
>>740441865Oh, it's gonna be fun to dunk on the anons that spent 5 years denying the obvious.
>>740441895>We're probably getting an entire fart sniffing sequence about how we're bad for playing the game instead.I doubt this will happen in the normal route, but it's happening for sure on the weird route.
>>740441865The one good thing that could come out of it is that I wouldn't have to ever again read anons talking about how Toby is actually le ebin based 4channer, it would put that to rest for good.
>>740441865it WILL be subverted for ralsusie in the true route. watch.
>>740442072It's a single ending, anon. Weird route will simply mock you ever harder.>>740442187I have no damn clue how that perception even got a hold here.
>>740441521There is stuff to talk about. The silence is unusual and you need to look back and think about it unbiasedly.
>>740442320dominant_femboy
Kris? A cactus. Susie? A watercooler. Don't flirt with the watercooler.
>>740441865I wouldn't mind it because HMOFAtards have become insufferable. I don't even know if they like Susie or Noelle.
>>740442384>we're never getting a look of how the cactus looks in the dark world
>>740442434we do thoits the cactus you push aside in the first board.
>>740441709I have FAITH in the WAIT. As long as you don't have unreasonable expectations it will be alright and fun. >>740441895Toby doesn't think you're a bad person for playing the game, he has matured from the days of the Halloween Hack. Have faith.
>>740442489>le legend of tennadie
>>740442574
>>740442587why would it look different
>>740442325Toby never says anything about his personal opinions so people on both sides project onto him, that's how.
>>740442664ralseiplus I want an actual sprite
>>740442652Toby won't say anything bad if you're a pacifist, yes.
>>740442682>the blogpost about the halloween hack>the blm thing (and I'm not just talking about the tweet, there is an interview he talks about how affected he was about that whole thing)
>>740442745>maybe [player.name] wasn't the best personit's hard to overlook because chara got burned into everyone's minds
>>740433874Why the fuck does deltarune have a worse development time than every single solo 3d indie game?
>>740442926Toby is a bad videogame developer and an even worse project lead.
>deltarune threads are only allowed to stay up if they're full of doomfags and xitter touristsawesome
>>740434523
>>740443018I'm not a doomfag. I'm just saying releasing an RPG in batches is a fucking terrible idea. That's why I hate the ff7 remakes besides the other glaring flaws it has.
>>740443018Gotta generate that engagement! Hiro is so weak and poor, he NEEDS 4chan to be this way.
>>740442926>made by an artist, not a programmer>auteur masterpiece, by an author that was already very pretentious>barely any experience besides making music for other people, rom hacks and the literal first original game that happened to blow up in popularity>perfectionist about certain details>obsessed with one-off gimmicks>constant colabs with other projects
>>740442847Toby himself went to defend that line as Asriel coping and that he still cared for her. Plus in the credits Toby literally thanks you the player directly.
>>740443018Janny is too busy with the current sticky to delete this thread.
>>740443165>attempting to provide an alternate interpretation that has no reasonable precedent within the game's text, 10 years after the fact, through a stream that most people will never watchgooseworx tier storytelling
>>740434779Too based.
>>740443018so what? you want us to be optimistic with how things are going?
>>740443113Nice try retard, it's not about engagement it's about a pathetic attempt to control narratives which has failed to work for a year.
>>740442320The only ship with multiple unskippable cutscenes btw
>>740443298Well that's also not at all what Toby said.
>>740443420so you're telling me janny has a secret agenda about manipulating the opinion of the game against itself?I think you're giving to much credit to the hot pocket eater lmao
>>740443420Your response? It generated engagement.This post? Will generate engagement.Our engagement? Broken off because you're brown and a whore. I will never love again.
>>740443560I never said the agenda was secret.
>>740443298Even in game it's implied Asriel didn't hate Chara, Monster Kid said the same shit about Undyne and nobody thought she was evil.
>>740443764who cares faggotthe janny doesn't need to do anything because, short of suselle getting obliterated out of nowhere, this board is destined to hate the game no matter what by now
>>740443885Monster Kid and Undyne are not a comparable scenario how many times do I have to tell you this, Undyne never gaslit Monster Kid into a suicide pact to kill people.
>>740443943Getting angry won't save you.
>>740444063save from what?I already wasted these 7 years thinking the game was at least going to be 50% good
Newsletters are just a thing for kiddo faves.
>>740444010Undyne wanted to genocide humanity as much as Chara did. There's a reason that even before the stream people realized Chara wasn't pure evil. Toby doesn't do one dimensional characters.
>>740444252titan
>>740444252Undyne was a silly goober who thought anime was real and was convinced otherwise. Undyne doesn't have the same hatred as Chara and never had. You're also ignoring the gaslighting Asriel part, as usual.
>>740442772People just ignore it or create cope for it. Or focus on Andonuts saying faggot or the him "hating" spics. The fact Toby isn't blatantly outspoken allows people to create a Toby in their heads.
>>740444302nta but agent of chaos not a conscious being
>>740444453WOWABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR A CHAPTER BOSS CHARACTERAFTER A WHOLE CHAPTER WITH ALMOST NO NEW CHARACTERSAFTER WAITING 3 YEARS FOR THAT MOMENTTHAT SHIT HAS LESS BULLET PATTERNS THAN KINGreally dunked on those john bishop autists huh?
>>740444404I didn't focus on the gaslighting part because that is indeed a messed up thing Chara did (even if Chara was around the same age as Asriel and never forced him to do anything, which is something he admits). My point is that Toby never intended Chara to be pure evil, just messed up. That's why the line is that Chara isn't the greatest, not that Chara actually fucking sucked bad. The point was always Asriel finally stopped worshipping her and acknowledged her flaws. The Undyne example with Monster Kid is another monster doing the same, acknowledging the flaws of their idol and thinking someone else was better. That's why I mentioned it.
>>740441709Deer is annoying as hell, so I hope not. Is chapter 4 better than 3? I’m just not feeling it so far.
>>740444302Titan isn't really a character at all but just a force of nature like a tornado.
>>740444878There's more deer in it but a lot of people prefer 4 if they like more serious stories.
>>740444848We're not talking about intentions, were talking about what the game communicates.Toby may have intended for Toriel to not be perfect, but he completely failed in doing that for most people.
>>740444848Then he failed to convince me to have any compassion for Chara, and Asriel's acknowledgement is a massive euphemism to what Chara really did, so much so I cannot help but feel like he's got stockholm syndrome. It's unnerving and uncomfortable and not a cute relationship which is why I don't like what Toby Fox wrote.
>>740444924see >>740444763
>>740444990That's a different argument honestly, and Toby falling to communicate is mainly because he keeps the humans vague. He left it up to you make your own reason for why Chara hated humanity and why she did what she did. Some people just didn't want to imagine anything and thus say her as one-dimensional.
>>740445065That's fine. You don't have to feel that way. Toby gives you an option to not forgive Asriel, I don't think he minds people not having compassion for Chara.
>>740444989Onward through Gameshow Hell, then. I don’t outright hate Noelle like I did Alphys in Undertale, but she and Susie become incredibly uninteresting in close proximity.
>>740445263But he made it so I have to save Chara without a say in that, which I don't agree with.
>>740445264that's everyone's opinion here for the last 5 years
>2026 and the fandom still can't handle any character that's "problematic"Chara arguments are also why the fandom is so resistant to Kris not being completely wholesome btw

>>740441675Yes.
>>740445341>implying /v/ deltachads care about what deltafags outside of here say
>>740445330Oh. I only recently started playing, so I’ve avoided thread up until now.
>>740445374why not at this point
>>740445065>It's unnerving and uncomfortable and not a cute relationship which is why I don't like what Toby Fox wrote.Almost like it was pretty blatantly written that way and that's the obvious intended meaning.
>>740445434Welcome to UT/DR /v/!Where we spend 7 years discussing the same topics over and over again expecting someone will answer something different eventually.
>>740445264Chapter 4 has another Suselle scene so you might not like it. Only 1 and 3 are Suselle free.
>>740445576>1>suselle free
>>740445442when the FUCK is toby adding her into deltarune?>uhh.. but it's a backer charac-i don't give a SHIT, toby OWES me her.
>>740445524Then why is he trying to convince me it's a nice thing? I have to save Chara, his "little chocolat" and I don't have a say in it. Cherishing a bad relationship isn't what I expect in a perfect True Pacifist ending where everything is nice.
>>740445716At this point there is a real chance he will do something LITERALLY gay if she shows up in the gameIt hurts but it might be for the best if she stays out of this
>>740441865But i'm fine here THO>>740445264>>740445434If you find her annoying you will have to take the weird route pill, she acts different and scenes that you may not like in nm gets skipped
What annoying mini game will be in chapter 5? Any ideas? I think a swinging mechanic like donkey Kong or the dancing minigame in mother 3 with the monkey

>>740445310I mean, you don't have to. You can just not do the pacifist route, and even if you do you can technically ignore what Toby says since it's not in the game.>>740445738Chasriel is unnerving but also cute. Toby likes playing on both sides as a true shipper, both wholesome and filled with angst.>>740445341People can't handle morally gray characters, that's all. Mostly in autistic fandoms, too
>>740445738because he likes characters with flaws per his own admissionit's supposed to be nuanced and complicated, not autismo black-and-white shit
>>740441675There is a joke about women and dogs somewhere.
>>740445926More Zelda since Asgore has a TV and it'll foreshadow the weird route further
>>740445621The only obligatory Suselle is Noelle wanting to go with Susie. You can skip the rest.
>>740446026I'm going to ignore what he said in the stream and keep my interpretation from when I first played: that Chara is gone forever and Asriel remorses their relationship.
>>740446034Toby is a Tumblrfag, he loves toxic and angst pairings.
>>740446207That's fine. Personally I like Chara being saved and being a quirky narrator but it is up to interpretation for a reason.
>>740445926>swinging mechanic like donkey Kongthat's too on-topic with the chapter's themeyou gotta think of shit COMPLETELY unrelated to gardening to be tobycore:>platforming>racing>1 vs 1 fighting>sky diving simulator
>>740445738He isn't. That other retard is just a retard.Under the very generous assumption that you aren't him pretending to be convinced by a livestream everyone else hasn't been obsessing over for a year straight.
>>740434082>south-of-the-borders ruining Deltarune AGAINwhen will they be annexed
>>740446346>annexedyou want us to be WITHIN your borders?
>>740445374>>740445442fuk you guys i never found the new extension
>>740434523That's okay!Toby have said chapter 5 will come out in 2026!We still got the rest of the year to WAIT>>740441709>You'll get some shitty yuriSurely Toby is aware how awkward the dialogue between Noelle and Susie is?I mean just compare the interactions between Kris and Noelle. The difference is night and dayAt this point, I will take the copout ending where Susie gets no one at the end
>>740445926Watering minigame where you got to make flowers bloom to progress forward.
what are you guy's thoughts on Deltarune Yellow?
>>740446631played the first chapter like a year ago, felt it was bland
>>740436346>We would've had the full game by now if Toby had gotten a producer back when development for Chapter 1 started.Damn. Imagine Tenna in 2021.
>>740446631haven't played it yetneed to play reply UTY first
>>740446697No dude. Imagine the full game came out last year, the end of the 7 year period. No episodic schedule giving everyone the wrong expectations.
>>740445374>Hidden>>740445442This thread has been mostly on topic, let's not drown it with hornyposting yet.
>>740445926Stardew Valley-lite
>>740438175>improving the battle systembest case is we wont have to deal with the stupid TP restriction gimmick for half of chapter 5.
>>740446631Didn't play it but heard about it. Feels like Deltarune made by shipfags, with none of the things that make Deltarune interesting. Respect the undertaking, though. It's impressive he made two chapters in so little time.
>>740446518>aware Nope, but i do think anons are dooming too much not only because of weird route, but also it's a sort of unique triangle, and also that it won't be the entire ch5 lmao, we need Asgore truck flashback
>>740446518>Surely Toby is aware how awkward the dialogue between Noelle and Susie is?No, remember Toby is a yurifag
>>740438629Deltarune could be done by now if it was a straighforward turn based RPGMaker game or a straightforward Bullet hell game but it's neither, he wants to keep figuring out how to add more months of dev time to make a pointless quirky minigame because he's known to be the quirky dev guy who makes subversive things.
>>740446929>more deep darkness mechanicsYou know, my expectations for a flower shop dark world during the ch 2 days are completely different from my post ch 4 ones.Do you bet on a pleasant flower paradise, or something more gritty and fucked up?
>>740446568so basically Zen Garden from Plants vs Zombies?seems fitting since Laura is with the team
>>740446631kind of mediocre even ignoring the reused assets but considering how it was just 1 dude vs. Toby "I'm Taking Too Long" Fox I respect the hustle
>>740446631desperately needs more humor and general polishing across the board.but aside from that... its decent. at least its not skeleton fangame tier nonsense.
>>740445543Thanks! Looking at the release timeline, I’m surprised that there are still sane anons from all of the downtime between releases.>>740445576If it’s just a scene I suppose it won’t be that bad. It’s just funny that the writing becomes so stagnant whenever they interact.>>740445880I’ll have to try that on my next run. I’ve been doing a pacifist run so far since it seemed to be more interesting than a simple combat one. I want aware of the weird route, although I did hear something about eggs which I’ve completely missed. I did complete the two hidden bosses that were encounterable so far.
>will gaster appear?He's not just going to appear. We're finally going to get our Gaster fight, completely out of left field, and the last two chapters are going to be grappling with its consequences.https://soundcloud.com/screamawake/the-man-who-got-hands
>>740447096>generic cumslutlame!I like my femboys to be classy
>>740447183It's not really a scene, it's more like an entire section in Noelle’s house.
>>740446518>Surely Toby is aware how awkward the dialogue between Noelle and Susie is?He must be. I still think Toby is using Suselle to troll people. Suselletroons are so retarded and blind they don't even see the problem with how Noelle and Susie act like caricatures of their characters with one another. And this is even more apparent because Susie and Noelle literally had NOTHING to talk about but Kris. It's like who they REALLY like is Kris. Remember, it only took a day of Kris acting like himself again and comforting her from the Weird Route for her to be completely in love with Kris.
>>740447097probably a mix of both.the area immediately around the fountain being the flower paradise but the further from it you go the darker it all becomes.the plot will be that you pretty much land directly at the fountain, but for whatever reason you cant actually get to it without grabbing a mcguffin from the darker regions.
>>740446125>More ZeldaHoly fuck please no
>>740447085Deltarune could also be done by now if it was a straight forward Undertale follow up at least in the gameplay sense.He could have just replicated Chapter 1 a few times and kept the scope in check, people would have been happy with that.
Chapter 5 will be AN END of sorts. Apocalyptic. Think Evangelion 2.0. Chapters 6 and 7 will tell a meta-rich story about Kris finally overcoming his problems and setting things right.
>>740445014kris if used the escape rope in the cheater's jail
>>740447183Oh boy you might fucking hate her lmao, but again it does give you more context for wr and honestly it made me like her>>740447607It could end with the roaring but that would leave to what the fuck ch7 could be if 6 is going to be about that, post apocalypse?
>>740447401>Remember, it only took a daynot even a day, it was a 20 minute comfort session and that made noelle willing to completely sideline susie
>>740447607Chapter 5 will end in the Roaring and everyone taking shelter at the shelter.
>>740446671>>740446986>>740447149>>740447175Thanks for your thoughts, the boards were we discuss this game defend it with their life You should also try Naranja, it has a demo with interesting mechanics
>>740447175TBF UTY didn't have many much humor and focused more on story
>>740447401i agree with you on everything except how she switched up pretty fast from Kris to (you) after (you) give her back the commerative ring
>>740447763thats just the fanboy problem, anon. we still have plenty of people willing to criticize DRY in the threads. its just that when you do the fanboys instantly swarm to defend the HMOFA game.>>740447863at least UTY tried and hit it off with the steamworks. DRYanon just says "yeah im not that good of a writer" and gives up completely.
>>740447715>>740447956doeslut hivemind
>>740447401>>740447715With the direct comparison between Suselle and Alphdyne I think you guys are putting too much stock into Toby as a writer. The man's a musician, but the rest..?
Mod's online, here comes the 404 btw
>>740447715you [saucy sponge] you took my [sweet hooci mama] post. good on you
>>740447607WRONG. Ch5 will end on a relatively somber note with no world ending events occurring throughout
>>740447763>Thanks for your thoughts, the boards were we discuss this game defend it with their lifeSometimes you can fall TOO much into love with an idea. Then you can never let it get past the drawing board or give it an honest look
>>740447763The /vrpg/ general is a big circlejerk of the same 10 people, somehow more than here. That's probably why you see the same opinions.
>>740448040Damn. Really?
>>740447607CONGRATULATIONS
>>740448040/v/3 should keep them occupied.. right?
>>740448192I am legitimately expecting this.
>>740448018You're underestimating Toby, you need a lot of artistic skill to make metanarrative not be fucking boring and corny
>>740448112Incorrect
>>740448040huh how do you know
>>740448304Holy shit?
>>740448336>>740446731 got stickied
>>740448268Noelle wouldn't say that.
>>740447976>DRYanon just says "yeah im not that good of a writer" and gives up completely.Honestly better than trying too hard and not landing anything.
>>740448112I can't see Toby stalling for that long, man. The Roaring needs to happen eventually and everything points to 5 being the end of the common narrative. I can't see the ocean of ink only happening in Chapter 6. Plus that's just 4 again. >>740448040Surprised thread lasted for so long, honestly.
>>740448268>you need a lot of artistic skill to make metanarrative not be fucking boring and cornyIf you don't see the ending of the genocide route as corny creepypasta bullshit you are 15 years old
>>740448304What does this mean?
>>740447763>the boards were we discuss this game defend it with their lifeI'm the first mention, and also a /vrpg/ anon too. We saw so many things die out before coming to completion we're happy someone is pushing through, me included. It's specially tougher when it's unlikely something like it would ever show up elsewhere, I have hope DRY can become better.
>>740447401You are giving him too much credit but he also does it so people notice the difference in routes>>740448018I like how he is writing Kris and Noelle even outside of wr
>>740448418the ending of the genocide route is incredible and no amount of "akshually this is for flippin 12 year olds" will convince me otherwise
>>740434779holy basedtotal janny death
>>740448172I don't see the problem with niches trying to survive.
>>740448268I mean the genocide route is a *little* corny but that might be on the fandom misappropriating Chara as the creepypasta devil and ALLLLLL of the skeletonwank that ensued from Sans's bossfight. I just have doubt that Toby "Not Enough Gays in VideoGaymes" would throw a very clearly telegraphed lesbian relationship under the bus for drama. If he does though, and I turn out to be wrong about this, I will kneel forever to the dog and the ever after that.
>>740448587I didn't say there was anything wrong, it is a niche. I'm just describing the consequences of a niche place.
Kris sleeping in bed with Noelle. Or Asgore, if you're into that.
I CAN DO ANYTHING!I CAN EVEN hope
>>740448379Would rather no humor than Reddit """humor""", yeah.
>>740448268The metanarrative is only fun when it's played for laughs or for horror, like Omega Flowey. Shit like Flowey's genocide monologue is only glazed by video essay types.What made Toby successful was the comedic set pieces and the hype moments, without that Undertale would have got a LISA tier following at best.
>>740434779
>>740448418The ending of genocide is based and there's a reason Toby loves Chara. The only problem is some of the vagueness of the dialogue.
>>740447763>You should also try Naranja, it has a demo with interesting mechanicsalready played it while it was buggy, it was pretty neat, and the combo system fit very well with the orange soul. don't know if the game got a new version with a non-placeholder music>>740448734What exactly is "Reddit humor"? Is it basically MCU writing?I'm working on a project and I do want to have some humor, but I don't know how to avoid that kind of humor
>>740448793I like Flowey's genocide monologue as a character study for him and how it shows his relationship with Chara, beyond the meta part.
When is Deltarune getting a GOG release?
>>740448617Anon, that's kinda what's happening, Noelle invited Kris instead of Susie for the festival
>>740448371He's probably too busy to nuke our thread.
