So is Toby Fox our version of Kojima? Going to Japan and becoming a big shot there?
>>722993703no, that will be me once my game is outthen I will use my new influence to have the japanese government deport toby fox
>>722993703Original image
>>722993842We have their tourist Kojima shitting up our industry with pro globalism games, we might as well give them games about empathy toward JRPG monsters
>>722993703its hard to me to believe there are no independant journalists or even fans with phones unable to make a pic and reveal the face of Toby Fox and Yoko Taro. I think we only have old photos when Toby was like 20 or younger
>>722993703how did toby manage to squirm his way into this group of people
>>722993703Isnt suda and kojima and the re4 maker missing from this also the dark souls creator
I imagine he speaks fluent Japanese, no ? This would already earn him more respect than 99% of Ameritards. And then he makes their type of game. He's also very very small, so he won't intimidate.
>>722995485He can speak Japanese and Undertale is extremely popular in Japan
>>722993703never seen so many hacks in a single room
Guys, you said he's trooning out! Why is there a beard? Where's nail polish?
>>722993703Sakurai and Kamiya absolutely mog all those other clowns. Taro is alright in my book tho.
>>722993703>Fox is just an out of place indie dev hack>He probably made more money selling his fangames to trannies than every other dev in the table minus SakuraiSad
It is sorta admirable how far this guy made it with one dinky earthbound clone he did like 10 years ago.
>>722996378Kodaka's made more. Danganronpa as a series sold over 8.5 million copies with a higher price tag than Undertale
>>722996378Undertale has been massively outsold by Phasmophobia, an indie game a year old. It's nothing overtly special in terms of sales.
>make a shitty game that somehow becomes successful because of mentally ill internet users>other game producers suddenly want to be friends with youthis earth is gay, nothing is real, everything is clout based, no one gives a fuck about talent and skill
>>722996237My theory has been btfo
>>722993703Post the original jap dev roundtable image from a few years back. This is a cheap imitation
>>722997637>no one gives a fuck about talent and skillDid you just wake up from a coma?That's been obvious for the last 15 years or so, maybe more
>>722993703>SakuraiMost consistent. Closest thing he's made to a bad game is Sm4sh WiiU and that's more dull than anything.>TobyNever played UT/DR but his career is proof that anybody can make it. His code is infamously awful and he got his start ROMhacking and yet here he is. I like some of his music a lot; it gets overhyped by his fans but he can write a damn good melodic hook.>TaroPure idea guy but in a way that's genuinely unique compared to most that just think they're unique. That's the only reason people could play games that play/run like Drakengard 1 and Nier Gestalt and be enamored with them.>KamiyaIdiosyncratic and stubborn, in both good and bad ways. DMC1 and Bayonetta both changed the landscape of action game design but have insane choices in them only he would make. W101 is either the greatest game of all time or a hodgepodge mess depending on how you look at it because it's a culmination of his entire career.>ToyamaDeserves to have the notoriety of Sakurai/Toby/Kamiya if only for Silent Hill, but Gravity Rush, Siren, and Slitterhead are all very cool games.>Kodaka & IshiiGenuinely not much of a VN guy so I can't say much but people really seem to like the stuff listed here (and Hundred Line is an SRPG so I might try it one day).
I just hope they will inform him how much they love Krusie. Maintaining the agenda is top priority.
>>722993703Nobody in Japan cares about Toby Fox. >B-but Sakurai Sakurai talks to everyone.
>supposed "videogame" forum where everyone is fucking miserable all the time and doesn't like jack shit, especially modern games>visibly seething at someone who actually made a videogame and was able to push success in life while meeting all his heroes cuz he wasn't a miserable blob wasting his life away>there will never be a connection drawn, it's just luck and toby is an asshole for stealing my dreamsSurprise, surprise.
>>722996432the power of kissing ass and shmoozing.
>>722998528You realize not everyone dreams of making video games, right? Most of us just play them and that's where it ends.
Toby “Girls like Undyne CAN love girls like Alphys” Fox next to Hideki “Bayonetta and Jeanne’s relationship was never like that you delusional freaks” Kamiya is a very strange vibe
>>722998397>His code is infamously awfulHis games run flawlessly, I have never seen a single bug or visual error in any casual playthrough of Undertale/Deltarune
>>722993703That's more hacks than average RU-only CS lobby!
>>722998528>it's just luck it is. there's been endless quirky rpg maker sloppa. the ironic thing being /v/ is a huge part of why this hack is huge. i hated him from the beginning while you were all still hugging his nuts.
>>722998770Not non-functional, just cobbled together and amateurish. Every single dialogue box in Undertale is in one single If/Else statement. Point being, if it works it works.
>>722993703Chiyomaru is a better writer than all of them put together.
>>722998696>Girls like Undyne CAN love girls like Alphys
>>722996432Undertale is the definition of being in the right place at the right time. One genuine, sincere game in an ocean of Whedonslop. Retro pixel graphics were also peak nostalgia in 2016.
>>723000221>sincere>murder is............. le bad!!!!!!wow so heckin' sincere.
>>722995485Toby’s games were lightning in a bottle I guess you can say
The Danganropa guy looks exactly like you'd think he would: A 50 year old guy who thinks he's a high schooler. Most embarrassing dialogue in any games. Have no idea how people play them.
>>723000452Given the state of pop culture's tone at the time, it was relatively sincere yeah. This was a few years before "He's right behind me isn't he"-tier writing started to get shit on more regularly.
>>723000694it was a garbage game back then and it's still garbage now.
>>722996432>>722997637>>722997281>>723000221Despite all this I'll never touch Undertale with a 10 foot pole, I’ve already got the true chad Earthbound
>>722993703>Going to Japan and becoming a big shot there?I see what you did there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSJbRk0tv7g
undertale is shit low effort meme game like angry birds, hilarious how this slop got so popular
>>723000871Based.
>>722993703>Muh Japan Game AwardsThese are just the Judges. So it isn't a gathering of prominent game devs or anything.
>>722995598First of all, this is a meeting for a judging panel that they're all on.Secondly,>SudaNo relation to anyone here aside from Toyama and Kamiya>KojimaDoes everything at his own studio or during tours (he's in Brazil right now). >re4 makerMikami really only knows Kamiya that well of everyone here. >dark souls creatorMiyazaki is unrelated to everyone here aside from maybe Toyama.
>>723000557the fuck else you want High Schoolers to sound like in a video game?
>>722993703>A bunch of hack frauds and Masahiro Sakurai
>>722993703this you anon?
>>723003048It's probably not him actually.Most /v/ OPs can just be sourced back to twitter in general.
>>723000452>Toby makes a relatively simple and basic empathy test>sociopaths keep failing it and getting mad
>>722993703>big shothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2WaJwET0GI
>>723000452In the realm of video games, that can be a deeper message than one would generally expect.Most video games, and especially JRPGs, involve wanton murder of everything you come across that isn't immediately useful or docile at all times. Certainly Undertale isn't the first to tackle this idea, MOON was very similar, but it's still prescient for video games. And whenever video games confront the implicit act of murder in what are essentially tools of desensitization to extreme violence and constant death, it's always kino.
>>722996432and all the plagarism
>>722998397>(and Hundred Line is an SRPG so I might try it one day).More VN than SRPG, but it is one of the few games where "Choices Matter" actually means something (100 endings across 21 distinct routes). Some routes are worse than others, but it's one of the most fascinating games of the decade for that dedication alone, and it's a bit of hope. While Toyama's independent attempts failed so far, Kodaka basically blew all his money, all the money his studio had, and went into severe debt for this one game and it paid off.Try the demo if you haven't, it goes up to Day 7. The choices don't come in until 30 hours into the game.
I don't really get why "we" keep having this thread where a bunch of people that never played Undertale or are really aware of it are super opinionated about it or don't know that most of the guys there played it and liked it too.
>>723004924>japs have shit tasteyeah we know.
>>722993703>play old game(s)>build a career off thatKamiya sees in him a kindred spirit.Sakurai is of the old.Taro is Suda with a bigger cliche.Toyama made that one game that one time at the end of the '90s.The other two uuuhh
>>722993703How could a western human surpass ZUN
>>723008583touhou being irrelevant for like 15 years will do that.
>>723008885We still have threads for it.
>>723009503>dumb trannies who've been obsessed with a shitty series for an eternity continue to make threads about said series so it's relevant OKAY
>>722993703ReminderZUN brought back Ran to a mainline game because of Toby
>>722993703wow all those games suck
>>722995485He is more of a Japanophile than a real Weeb. I think he mostly played obscure JRPGS and visited Japanese forums in his yout rather than just consuming anime and manga. He really lvoes Japan and its culture of 80's and 90's video games and so he was able to easily adapt. Undertale and Deltarune are games meant for Japan to accept him as their developer
>>722996237>trooning out>when appealing to old fag Japanese creators and their communityBruh, literally a reason why Kris is not non binary is because Toby doesnt give a shit about western values. He makes games that suppose to appeal to average Mother/Chrono Trigger/Dragon Quest player. Even the main protag is an eyeless blank state
>>722993703Kodaka looks starved. The Too Kyo studio was a failure. None of their game became a hit, their best "Hundred Line Defense" game was a dud that some desperate fans still try to shill. Meanwhile everyone is now hyped for Spike remake of Danganronpa 2. He must be in real bad shape and probably trying to think of a way to quit and return to Spike and beg the CEO for a job.
>>722997637>great original game becomes succesfull>it is bad because it also becomes popularwhat causes this mental illness? Are you one of the faggots who also claim Dark Souls and Disco Elysium was shit and didn't deserve to win any praise?
So was the stuff about the dead kid real in the other thread are there any real underfags who could confirm
>>722996237Bro if BASED Sakurai learned that Toby made a game about troon shit, he would kick him out of the table. Toby is aware he wont win anything in Japan by appealing to tumblr
>>723003048Not me, but is strange someone copies this thread as their own post on twitter. Why not just screencap the OP?
i HATE toby fox...
>>722993703Siren 1 is Toyama's masterpiece
>>723005198Why do they love Krusie so much then?
>>722993703Goddamn it Toby, stop wasting time with jap geezers and whip those bums you call a team into shape!
>>722997637>nooo theres no talent because i dont like the people related to itouting yourself as someone who will eternally remain a talentless faggot that will do nothing good in your life unless you change your ways
Proud of Toby for the marriage/engagement
>>722997637Have you considered, just for a second, that it might be you who is wrong?
>>722995485appeal to the modern mass of faggotry. the jesus for fags (most people under 25)
>>723020105>appeals to faggots>still becomes a god in one of the most conservative countries on earthhow can one man be this powerful...
>>723019661I hope it's that girl who was sniffing his hair and slamming him into lockers in the school.
>>723013917>original game>its a literal earthbound clonekill yourslef troon
>>722993703A room full of amazing talent, and Kodaka.
Amaterasu and Emileas as cameos in Deltrarune confirmed. Kirby in the Swich 2 version.
>>723021078Please be true
>>722993703>toby getting all that japanese cunny to himself its not fair bros
>>723017814They love all ships involving the humans with the most popular side characters. It's not particularly good taste. It just is.
I wonder how they all felt when Robert Foxstein started lecturing them on the toxic heteronormativity of heterosexual relationships and the importance of nonbinary protagonists in video games not even five minutes into dinner.
>>722993703I have quirky indie dev fatigue. Please, for the love of god let some bpd whore accuse him of rape already.
>>722993703
>>723000557He's still better than the furfag who thinks he's japanese.
>>722993703So all of these guys other than Sakurai are has beens or never wases?
>>722997637Based, Undertroons seething
>>723025429More like Sakurai is the exception, there's literally no indie japanese dev like him, he is one of a kind.
>>723023506What about oikophobia?
>>722993703So what did Toby do that makes Japan like these games so much? I feel like I’ve never seen people talk about that because even cope shitposting narratives don’t explain anything
>>723026813Same reason why it was popular everywhere else - appealing characters, great music, good story, but it was also inspired by Japanese media a lot, and it also got a Japanese translation.
>>723026813The game is kinda like Pokemon and Earthbound mixed together by them. Plus they are obsessed with the characters like us.
>>723000221Toby has literally never written something sincere in his life. The community he lurked in and all the Earthbound fandoms and shit were at the cutting edge of the modern irony poisoning, and he's STILL best buds with Andrew "Post-Ironic Clowngender" Hussie. Any sincerity he claims to have put in is bland-name bullshit that makes people clap and go, "That's me!" the same way as fortune cookies and horoscopes write nonspecific feelgoodery.
>>722993703WORK ON THE GAME FAG DOG
>>723027929>Chapter 5 delayed for 2027 (laughs)
>>722993703Why does toby hide his face, everybody knows what he looks like already
what would be the worst outcome for dessrielfags?
>>723021078Wasn't Temmie his wife and also one behind design of many characters? Or was i memed and fooled?
>>723023506He is an oldschool 90's JRPG fan as well as married and soon to have kids if he already doesn't have one. He will never bent the knee to any woke shit mental illness. He makes games that his kids gonna play. Which is also why o dont think he will force a lesbian stuff with Suselle just in case his kid is straight.
>>723030264If she didn't age while in forma de caballo, this means she will have the same age as Kris. Just sayin'
>>722993703>He's the youngest dude at that table by like 30 years.
>>722993703I don't know why but it's funny to think that Toby might be the riches person in that room
I was against Toby because I thought he was Jewish but I found out he is (or was) Presbyterian or something like that so wish him the best.
>>723026813Toby knows how to pander to autists and as it turns out Japan has a lot of autists
>>723030732>tfw Toby is 3 years younger than me but already rich, popular, with loving family and living in the best country for nerds and weebs
>>723000774unc opinion
>>723030859I have no idea why people here think Toby is jewish, unironically
>>723030859If he was Jewish you would have Kris and Susie visit a school to read about trans gender therapy and not attend a wholesome sermon in church along with choir singing
>>723026813anon, his games are just borrowed JRPG tropes from famous old games.
>>723031097yeah in this image>>723030667he looks like a Slav or Serb
>>722998397The key to Toby Fox-ing it is>MusicAbsolutely key. It short-circuits people's brains. Good music in a game with non-objectionable gameplay will be hailed as an all-timer.>Simple character designsYou want something fan artists can latch on to. Something even beginners can doodle and be happy with, but which more advanced artists can go to town with. Strong iconography.>EccentricityBe casually, lightly weird in a way that inspires in-jokes.Anyway he basically followed the ZUN model.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIv8MSJW4nQ
>>723000452the messaging of the game has nothing to do with whether or not it is sincere mr.sociopath-kun
>>723027738I can't go for that. He makes things too faithful to the originals he's aping for there to not be some love there. See >>723031202
>>723031202And it also need to be focusing on friendly themes, while all the real life trauma should be more subtle. Heartbound was already on the nose with the missing dog and abusive mother storyline and music was also forgetable, it could never reach the level of Deltarune or Undertale
>>723031173Slav here, he looks Caucasian or Central Asian.
>>722997637you're a retard>>723000871>>723021137you're retard bitches. how many earthbound-like games are there? like 5? and why are they categorized in that genre? just because they are not traditional jrpgs? just because they are like dragon quest but with quirky humor and emotional depth? fuck offundertale is great because it has great ideas and interesting characters, while also having unique gameplay when having to pacify enemiesomori also is also trying to be an undertale wanna be but falls a bit short, probably because the story is a bit stupid. or at least, omori, the character, is
>>723031479>while all the real life trauma should be more subtleYeah right
>>723031674I mean it is still not as radical a fucking blood screen jumpscare with noose hanging like in the first minutes of Omori
>>723031990The night is still young.
where is she?
>>723032960There is an entire show just to figure that out
>>723032960Where "she" belongs.
>>723032960In Undertale. Frisk and Chara aren't going to be in Deltarune, little bro.
>>723033339Context?
>>723034140It's one samefagging retard from /vg/ that had been shitting up Deltarune threads for months and drove basically all the real people away.That particular post was the one actual thing anyone actually asked them to do and fucked it up starting a vicious cycle of them getting progressively more mad about nobody liking them and their fantasy of everyone not liking them falling apart and eventually the Deltarune threads to go empty as they got more and more annoying, even if something could be said about how fucking many people never came back when 4chan went down.
>>723034140It's a new thread schizo. Don't reply to it.
>>723034573>Hey here's some really specific behavior that a certain someone does>NO NO NO DON'T LOOK AT IT HE'S CRAZY STOP TALKINGNo I think he's right on the moneyAlso that image is talking about what you're doing.
>>722998397>Never played UT/DR>I like some of his music a lot; it gets overhyped by his fans but you probably find it overhyped because you didnt hear it in the context of the game
See where Toby is sitting?That could have been you, Anon. If you just took the time to stop wasting your life away by doing absolutely nothing productive, you could have already created a phenomenon in gaming that rockets you up to the top echelon of game creators. You could be a fuckzillionaire by now.So why aren't you?
>>722998397>>723035878post scriptumpart of what makes his music so liked and also not as interesting if you hear it out of context is that his music, specially the best tracks, relatively very 'functional' compared to most games this is specially true for tthe motif autism because he doesnt really throw around it lightly. Like that one part of BIG SHOT where>the superboss melody is established as a recurring thing>it references the yellow soul fake-out superboss fight from the first game, which fans always wanted a real version of, and they finally got one
>>723035991i have no talent, and i'm not willing to be a hack and steal all my ideas like this clown.
>>723036282They keep telling us that you will own nothing and you will be happy. This is why you need to start stealing.
>>722996237Old Japanese men aren't into femboys, he had to dress up for dinner. please understand, sister
>>722993703>jap version of epstein files
>>723035280There's not really a point to anon, he's just going to keep doing this until even we get sick of him and he's just bot spamming 400 "reply" threads to himself alone.He's been doing it for YEARS now.
>>722993703No womandevs?
>>723031674Toriel did nothing wrong.
>>723040306>nothing wrongIs that what Sans is going by today?
>>723042174Him and the whole town lmao
