If there's no newsletter, we still have fangames.Are you developing a fangame? Post progress!
A blind hope, I know, but here's to wishing this one has less drama than the last.Anyway, more robas please! :D
>>4135583>Mo final bossSurprised nobody has really done anything with it, knowing how the community is. Also that we didn't get 500 colors of Zenith Martlet too
Would you include pop-culture references in your fangame? The Amogus joke wasn't recieved that well in DR, was the criticism deserved or not? Is it fine to include them as long as they fit and are funny?
Wow would you look at that, my attempt to make the thread die faster worked just like I wanted to. On serious note, please for the love of god stopping fucking up these threads with unnecessary drama, and if I sense people are doing that I'm calling it out. I think people have been quiet about it for far to long, and I refuse to let it become a problem that people ignore cause they're afraid to speak up about it.
>>4135605i will include references to what i specifically like in an attempt to get more people to interact with niche games.
>>4135605>The Amogus joke wasn't recieved that well in DRIt wasn't? I thought it was fine, it isn't like peak comedy but it's just there if you know where it's from.>>4135608Just don't mention the D word.
>>4135608>my attempt to make the thread die faster workedNo it didn't, you have to bump the threads below so they overtake it. Bumping the thread itself does nothing because it's already in autosage
>>4135597Considering it keeps happening again and again, and people pretend it's not an ongoing problem, you can bet your ass it'll happen again. It's just a matter of time.
>>4135611I wouldn't put it past that anon to have thread-slided to get the thread killed off sooner, I didn't even see it go to page 11 when normally it stays there for at least an hour before dying.
>>4135610>Just don't mention the D word.That's not the issue, these threads have ended up getting fucked up over all sorts of shit, it's been an ongoing problem.
>>4135614Considering that there were 5 threads in line ahead of ours, he absolutely thread slided and is being weird about it by acting like the image posting helped. Anyways whats done is donem>>4135598Im surprised theres no "bad time trio" type fight which would incidentally be leaving out dalv
>>4135610People called it lame and not fitting the time period (although DR is set in 202X).
>>4135614>>4135616I don't even know what thread-sliding is. Mind explaining.
I was asking about how people do battles last thread, will probably need more assistance when the time comes. I've had some ideas rattling around in my head for a Chara fight for a while, hopefully I can make them real
>>4135619I think people think DR is set in late 90s/early 20s because they still have CRT desktops in the librarby, people thought kris' phone was a regular brick phone until chapter 4 showed it was a smartphone
>>4135610Or the U word.
>>4135621bumping the threads under ours or creating new threads artificially to make ours fall off the board faster than is natural.>>4135622I'm not a designer of any sort, but as a certified player of the video games, there's a clearly different feeling between attacks designed with clear ways to dodge them, and those that don't.
>>4135621It's when you bump threads below the "target" one so the target falls faster to the bottom of the catalogue>>4135622Menus and UI are one of the most annoying parts to set up but at least once it's done adding new stuff should go faster
>>4135610I sure as hell hope you're not telling people they aren't allowed to say Drawanon, cause fuck off with that.
>>4135629The D word is drama(tic)>>4135625Don't know which this is
>>4135624Yeah, DR has both elements from Toby's childhood and modernity which can throw people off.It's like some people who think that UT fallen humans fell in the middle ages instead of between 201X and 21XX
>>4135629Don't be so agressive he proably meant Drama not drawanon
>>4135633>It's like some people who think that UT fallen humans fell in the middle ages instead of between 201X and 21XXI just think it's more fun when the green soul came from the industrial revolution
>>4135622>CharaUh, anything nore specific you have in mind for this battle?
>>4135632>Don't know which this isThe thing that sparked it
>>4135619>although DR is set in 202XWhich is funny because chapter 1 came out in 2018
>>4135636Yeah but it sadly won't be canon because Chara fell in 201X and they already had videotapes
>>4135638ohhhh, nah I don't mind people being into that. It's not the fetish it's the sick fuck who was forcing it without any consideration for anyone else.
>>4135625People can say unbirthing if they want to. We don't want to silent people or make them feel they can't talk about certain things, we're trying to avoid that. It's only a problem if it's excessive, or used in a malicious way.
>>4135627>I'm not a designer of any sort, but as a certified player of the video games, there's a clearly different feeling between attacks designed with clear ways to dodge them, and those that don't.I couldn't beat knight because of that fuck ass onion skin effect his daggers had. I'm bad at video games, but that one attack sans that with roundabout fucked me up every single time.Everyone please, make your attacks clear and patterns readable.
>>4135632>>4135638The U word is followed by N and birth, I think people should be allowed to talk about it, as long as they don't take it as far as the other guy didNow lets drop this subject right here right now because its retarded thread drama, someone posted some new dev progress
>>4135644*but that one roundabout attackI can't fucking focus on typing.
>>4135644>Everyone please, make your attacks clear and patterns readable.But that takes time and playtesters :(Its much easier to throw shit at the wall and test the attacks yourself until they become easy, that never brings any problems
>>4135641>Chara fell in 201X and they already had videotapesI know but>sadly won't be canonI'm not against just ignoring canon to play with a fun idea concept for writing. I know some people hate that and so I accept my ridicule like the last time I brought this up.>>4135644>Everyone please, make your attacks clear and patterns readable.this is extremely important for sure. I get that some people think "my visually confusing attack will be a treat!" but chances are in MOST scenarios, it will just be frustrating as the player can't really grasp the why of how he got hit.
>>4135639Yeah, because Toby knew in advance that he wouldn't be able to make all 5 or 7 chapters in 2 years....Bet Toby didn't expect that it would take *that* long for him to make it. I remember him saying that he doesn't want to work on DR for 7 years
>>4135634I'm sorry for the aggression on my part, but after how long we've had problems be ignored for years here, I just can't stay silent as a bystander anymore watching things get worse.
>>4135637I want to have attacks that make reference to their suicidal nature, along with themes of humanity's struggle with peace. A lot of it is inspired by the motifs of The Shining. I also want to include a phase against the creature they become when absorbed by Asriel. I don't like how safe a lot of interpretations play it, I want to make something a lot edgier.The sprite is temporary, of course =)
>>4135650>writingI guess it would be okay. But it will really harm the reach of it, if it was a fangame. If it cannot be canon compliant it would have to be viewed by itself, since it would be incompatible with others. Fics don't really have to care about that.
DRY1anon, I think you should give Gamejolt anon something to post on the gamejolt, like a single screenshot or a webm just so the public knows DRY1 is still going strong
>>4135658Nta, but you can use the racing or the basketball vid?
>>4135655Alright that sounds pretty interesting actually, I played the "No More Dealsx Chara fan battle, and while I had fun dodging the attacks (even when the difficulty is insane) most of the attacks consisted only of knives, there were a few more unique ones but in general felt like a step down from the Sans fight.
>>4135657Yeah that's honestly fair. Fics get a lot of leeway for nonsense already, and reachwise I don't operate under the assumption that all that many people are reading my stuff ;-; so it's just for the fun of it and those that do take the time to read.I can imaging if it was a game, even I would be raising an eyebrow at the inconsistencies and second guessing it.
>>4135658I'm not Gamejolt anon, I guess he could use the basketball one, I think the racing vid shouldn't be posted even if it makes for pretty good marketing, posting it would ruin the surprise for those waiting for the update outside of here
>>4135655How much edgier? I know suicide is pretty dark, but there is curve to it too. Like one is just a loose that is obviously hanging yourself, but makeshift atttempts can be very fucking horrific.
>>4135663You could always make a fallen kid escaped amish or something
>>4135666hmm, well satan that's true I could. For the green soul though I do like the idea that he had gotten away from a life of industrial era child labor, but the idea of one of the kids being amish, or ex amish is pretty funny in a way.
>>4135665I don't want to promise anything I can't fulfill, but I'd like it to be a couple steps above the Halloween Hack. I want to shock the player but in a way that feels "like Chara", instead of just being distasteful.
>>4135670What do you mean "feel like chara". She is bararely a character in undertale and if anything there just correlations that player, or more so fandom, assumes. Like we could very well be talking about generic yandere girl.
>>4135675There's a lot of lines especially toward the end of the Pacifist route that flesh them out a lot, and the humans' world tooI don't want to make another 'yandere girl Chara' if that's your concern.
>>4135691NTA but aren't those lines from flowey?Either way I agree there's at least some characterizing stuff to work off of. I think someone did a comparison to show that chara speaks in some ways like toriel?
>>4135693>aren't those lines from flowey?Asriel, yeah. I just think they're interesting.>chara speaks in some ways like toriel?They have similar mannerisms but occassionally use contractions like "couldn't" and "we'll"
>>4135695Another proof that Chara is female
Ten Feet twenty the Skeletonwank man.
>>4135695Toriel also occassionally uses contractions, so it's basically the exact same speech quirk
>>4135695>They have similar mannerisms but occassionally use contractions like "couldn't" and "we'll"it's always made me think that Chara has a certain "politeness" even when it's at the end of genocide.Formal, I think is the word I'm looking for
o DRYanon where art thoui crave more updates...
>>4135704WHY DID YOUPOST A PICTUREOF ME?
I'm actually writing a fanfic this time, guys! Turns out it's hard, especially for ESL like me.
>>4135704I think he posted yesterday or the day before about his progress and things possibly taking until the beginning of next year, and that he's working on events. also it's always really funny to me seeing the people from the dry reddit get so secretive about how they're lurking to get DRY leaks.it's amusing watching how the simple act of going on 4chan is so intimidating to many >>4135709Unfathomably based anon. I hope that you'll share it with us when the writing is accomplished.
>>4135707WHYNOTI HAVEMANY DEVICE_FRIENDSTO POSTON THE INTERNETS.
>>4135714YOU ARE VERYVERY HOMOSEXUALLIKE YOUR FAILED TIMELINE"UNDERTALE"WHILE YOU WING YOUR DINGI AM BUILDING A NEWFUTURE WITH (YOU)NOT MUCH LONGER NOWMY DELTA RUNE
>>4135721OHYEAH?PARRYTHISRETARD
would a "all of you look the same" type joke be a bit too spicy for UTDR?
>>4135722I WILL SHOVEMY (Egg recieved.) SO FARUP YOUR GASTERYOU WILLSING Toby "Radiation" Fox (the creator of Undertale!)TLDR EAT SHITFAGGOTS
>>4135725People here wouldnt probably make a big deal of it but to warn you that the wider fanbase would absolutely flip their shit over something like that
>>4135725It would be a little bland
>>4135598Once I imagined geno Clover pushing Mo into the coolant lake, and he would come back more powerful as Mo NEO as a joke.
>>4135749>Mo Neo>The zenith of not paying your taxes...kind
>>4135605Pop culture references is very infused into the DNA of UTDR and also a very big part of the artistic ethos for nerdy millennial creators like Toby. Not saying it's immune to criticism but it is what it is.But coming to think about it, there are barely any references to pop franchises in my writing. What I found was:>a joke vaguely alluding to Nosferatu that I might not even include>two characters who are references to Nintendo gamesBut otherwise it's just references to UTDR itself or to science, history, folklore or whatever.
>>4135752The Smooth Taste of Coffee Break
>>4135757alright, now I want to see a fully produced joke of such a mo fight. Him starting a transformation, only to kick it to the side because that's not the transformation you want, nah the main man mo has got you COVERED.
>>4135756>NosferatuNever heard of it, what's it about?
>>4135709Ey, glad to hear it.Don't worry too hard about being ESL, what matters is the meaning behind your words, and the spirit they carry.
>>4135760Dracula rip-off from way back in the day.Commonly known today as that guy flickering the lights in that one episode of Spongebob.
>>4135760oh come on, it shouldn't be that obscurehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykxcdp6-2kE
>>4135761Gerson...
>>4135709Same.I feel like a hypocrite for making fun of Toby being a weeb but not writing my stuff in my native language.
>>4135749And then he doesn't transform and dissolves in agonyNow Clover knows how it feels to watch it happen, in the previous timeline Roba was the one who pushed him in there
>>4135764Okay yeah I guess I walked into that one, but you get the gist.It doesn't matter if some words here and there aren't quite right, if the message they're supposed to carry is intact.
>>4135709>>4135767From my experience, I would recommend writing your story in your native language and then translating it to English, you can use the translation process as an opportunity to edit your writing too.
>>4135591ceroba is fat
>>4135799*flat
>>4135802by god, that's hot.
