what went wrong with deltarune?
what will go wrong in the final chapters?

The Mike encounter was done in bad faith
Toby should've just left Mike's identity a secret instead of doing this Reddit three Mikes crap.

Chapter 3 was taking too long, so he had to cut chapter 5 from release. He's also spent some of his time developing chapter 4 with future-proofing the game's development to prevent any chapter from taking as long as 3 did again.

Nothing went wrong but I do think the Mike trio was a bit of a mistake. I think it's because Chapter 5 was delayed so he wanted people to not forget about it since the actual Mike could possibly be important.
Probably nothing being answered, Suselle being canon, and not living up to the expectations of a 11 year WAIT

Toby didn't hire professional code monkeys at the first sign of development trouble back in ch1 so now we're stuck waiting. 11 years and counting for this glorified visual novel
>what will go wrong in the final chapters?
A bunch of shit will be left unexplained, the plot will remain an incoherent mess and the ending will be more or less unsatisfying. It's going to give you that ''what was even the point'' feeling. Like if you were to quit Undertale after getting on of the neutral endings.

I'm not familiar with the Halloween hacks so I can't speak on that. The neutral endings in UT, whether you're a goody little two shoes or fuck shit up, don't solve anything. The monsters remain trapped, Flowey remains the same, Chara remains the same, really nothing good comes of it.
This is how I think Deltarune's ending will go. The main cast will end up in basically the same situation they started. Shit, Susie might end up moving out again, repeating the cycle she's been stuck in.
>>
>>737321247
endings where nothing gets solved or nothing changes after all the things the characters went through are extremely lame. I don't get other creative types who think these endings are satisfying even if that's the point of the game

I mean, delta is based is some schizo fever dream Toby had years ago, one he apparently felt so strongly about he needed to make a game with it, so I don't think a satisfying ending is something he's going for. What's more important is the message he's trying to convey with it, whatever it may be.

don't be so sure
we don't know when asriel was created, for all we know asriel's the knockoff and ralsei was the original
as far as we know deltarune started with four characters
we know the role with three of them, but the fourth is simultaneously very important and also nearly irrelevant to the story even if you include the weird route
as it stand we still don't know why she's here, and why she ties in to so many things while being almost completely detached from them

I disagree about the neutral endings. Yes, the monsters still remain trapped but a lot of the context of what will happen next changes. The monsters can be hopeless or content, and Flowey can be dead or alive if you let Frisk kill him or not. If Deltarune ends like the neutral endings I would be pretty satisfied with it, actually.
>>
>>737325195
remember every time noelle showed up in the anniversary stream, toby would keep repeating "no one else matters"
>>
>>737325195
That blank space between Kris and Noelle is kinda ominous, ngl.
>>
>>737325343
Even after all these years, I still think King Papyrus and Queen Alphys are peak endings.
>>
troonslop is so unoriginal it's hard to imagine anyone with a conscience dedicating their existence to it
>>
>>737325374
if she didn't matter, why did he dedicate half the sweepstakes to expanding her character and backstory? just for shits and giggles?
>>
>>737325382
it's almost certainly something hugely important, either for kris or noelle
it could be dialogue, it could be faces that give something away, it could be both
>>
>>737325514
because she doesnt have much screentime so far compared to the rest of the cast
that makes people think she is irrelevant (a lot of people did pre chapter 2, and even during chapter 2 days people missed the weird route being centered on her, which is why we got "firegrave" and the idea of each chapter having a new classmate as party member)
chapter 5 will probably be very noelle centric, and maybe 6 and 7 too. my personal headcanon is carol or even gaster is purposefully trying to push noelle out of the story in the regular route due to how much power she has over the narrative
>>
>>737325195
When I said Asriel, I meant the big bro character of the game. I'm very certain that the big brother of the MC of 2011rune was the Knight, and then that character became Dess. Also Asriel was created before Ralsei as we know it, as he was based on Toriel as stated by the artbook.

for a direct mother 3 parallel, the older sibling wouldn't be the knight because lucas and claus were twins
lucas was the more sensitive one, iirc claus was more adventurous
i think what makes this interesting is that both the dreemurr and holiday siblings go into these categories, but the relations are flipped
asriel and noelle fall on the lucas side, kris and dess in the claus
if toby really is ripping off mother 3 as much as believed, asriel would have to be much more important for dess knight to be the likely outcome
but he's not, so the parallel falls on kris and noelle, which also doesn't fully work because we know kris isn't the knight, and noelle knight is mostly circumstantial evidence
toby could have inverted it, with the lucas and claus roles swapped, but we don't know enough yet
i think dess might actually be the hinawa instead of claus though

>>
>>737326315
I think it's both a Mother 3 parallel and a parallel to Toby's own family, which is why the older brother is the Knight. Also I do think Asriel is important, his return is first thing we learn in game and Ralsei is a flashlight pointing right at him.

He probably took a break after Undertale released for a while. We know some music was made sometime in 2016. I think very late 2027 is optimistic but possible if Chapter 5 comes out before August and and Robert Sephazon actually forces them to work on the game.
There's no way they set a deadline to finish the game by sometime in 2029, that would require an inhuman level of laziness and/or perfectionism

On average, it has taken about 1.5 years per chapter to be finished. Best case scenario is 3 years for ch6 and 7 which lands us in the middle of 2029 so strap in and WAIT
>>
>>737327059
There's no fucking way Toby releases 2 chapters in a year, that's just delusional.
>>
>>737327324
In that case maybe he started programming in 2017 and the deadline would be sometime in 2028.
It's optimistic but Chapter 5 coming out this year will be a faster turnaround then any previous chapter. So assuming they continue to improve efficiency instead of regressing and neither Chapter 6 or 7 are stupidly ambitious it doesn't seem impossible if they tried. But you're right in that it's probably delusional to expect them to try
>>
I have a prediction that chapter 5 will be the most polarizing chapter that will either make the series or complete break it and it all falls apart and the longer the wait the more likelihood of either outcome becoming stronger. I do hope its good but if its shit im hopping off the ride
>>
>>737327492
Chapter 5 is only releasing this early because it was being worked on since 2024 at worst. It's not coming out faster compared to the rest.
>>
>>737327586
i agree that ch5 will be the make or break chapter, people these days might not be fully aware, but this is the chapter everyone has been waiting for since 2018, really
everything in the past 7 years has been building up to this chapter, and the festival
if it sucks it might unironically be ogre for toby, 6 and 7 are ultimately still irrelevant because he's refused to mention them outside of a confirmation that work started on ch6 last year
>>

of course, it is the current peak of the story, if tobby fails the game just crashes on fire, people wont be silent on twitter and he is going to resent it

Its ironic. Both the Wait and the weight of that chapter can lead to everything falling apart at the end.

The work being done on Chapter 5 was likely very little, so I think Chapter 6 or 6+7 can come out quickly.

59 without equipment is pretty high, actually. I think that's around the same ATK as Kris with the black shard, or even more. Although I'm very sure myself we aren't playing as Kris in 6 and 7. We are probably getting 99 stats for the Vessel in that chapter.

Theory time!
The reason Dess disappeared is because Asgore found the tape of Kris raping Noelle, under Dess's order.
It started when Kris scared Noelle by hiding under her bed
Dess took inspiration to record Kris doing it again, but to force himself onto her
The tragic thing is, Dess had to stop the rape storyline because Noelle was enjoying Kris too much and she switched to a "conceiving a child on wedding night" plot
Asgore flew in rage after just watching the start of the video, and chased Dess into the bunker where she disappeared
This event caused the schism between the family as Asgore felt completely justified in what he did
However after Carol reviewed the footage, many times, she told Asgore it was consensual
The families decided not to tell the kids what Asgore did, only that Dess dessappeared
Kris knew what Asgore did and was traumatized by it and saw that his maleness was the issue and started being non-binary and distancing himself away from Noelle so it doesn't happen again
Noelle doesn't know what happened to Dess but she really like when Kris "raped" her and became attracted to dangerous people like Susie
Asgore still feels guilty about what he did and is basically the Holiday bitch as penance
The normal route will end with Noelle getting with Susie and Kris remaining nonbinary
Snowgrave will have Kris and Noelle rekindle their love and to move on from the past and Kris identifying as a male
The moral Tricky Tony is trying to push is that pedophilia can be nuanced
And since his main audience is mentally ill trannies and japs, they'll eat that shit up
>>
>>737341620
Why does this unironically make more sense then 90% of the slop "I KNOW what will happen in Deltarune111!!!11!" theories on youtube
The only thing missing is FRIEND. I don't think Toby would make Dess do that it'd make more sense if she was possessed by a demon.

>>
>>737315056
Toby pulls his punches too much with fights and puzzles/overworld gameplay elements. It doesn't have to feel like a bullshit fan game but considering this is intended to be played after Undertale, he could make it a little more exciting
Dark worlds take a backseat to the story, their particular histories don't matter relative to the endgame which is the angels heaven/roaring, ch4's especially just felt like it was there to soley deliver the prophecy and also show how dark worlds work
The game at the moment is going to be extremely back loaded with plotdumps considering all the mysteries and questions we have vs the amount that are actually answered so far
Castletown feels half-baked
>>
>>737346351
you underestimate how actually dogshit most people are at games
making the fights harder will just cause people to bitch until toby caves and makes it easier
we already saw this with the knight, where people complained it was too hard even with the shadow mantle
>>
>>737346549
the knight was kinda bs because the hitboxes didn't match the visuals 100%, so that was an acceptable change
other than that I do think the game overall needs to be harder but toby is afraid people will drop out
>>
>>737347464
I think the Jackenstein changes were also warranted, not because it was extremely difficult but it very poorly communicated how the pumpkin chases start combined with dark TP gutting peoples ability to heal without items. It may have needed a rework since saying "he only chases you once you get to a certain spot" would ruin the vibe of the fight, I did see people just panic and go fast all the time, facetanking bullets because they assume it matters
>>
>>737347592
the issue with jackenstein (and roulxs in chapter 3) is that they are gimmick fight mostly for laughs, they are a slog to get through on repeats
at least you can cheese jack if you have enough TP items stockpilled, but really wish you could skip roulxs at least on a violent playthrough since it skips everything EXCEPT that

>>737350831

Rudy has this strange reaction to meeting Susie for the first time in chapter 4.

While this may not seem super weird on it's own, whats weird is that if you introduce them in chapter 2 he reacts normally and friendly, but for some reason, after only a single day in game, his reaction is starkly different if he meets her for the first time in chapter 4

which is after chapter 3...which is where you fight the Knight...

It's pretty clear the whole family are suspicious as hell, and Asgore is a either a useful idiot or in on it.
>>
>>737351416
the church seems to be mostly composed of regulars, a new person sticks out pretty bad
and given susie's reputation around town, it's not too surprising that rudy would be apprehensive to her if their first meeting was there, especially considering that him even going to church took a lot out of him, he has not time for bs, even less so considering toriel just splashed him
remember that alphys also feels super out of place at the church, and her reputation is much better than susie's, even if she's considered a bit odd
it's different at the hospital in ch2, the environment is more casual despite the location, him and susie even joke around a bit
it would be better evidence if rudy was weird even if you saw him in ch2, but he isn't, he's much more chill with susie
i think it simply boils down to different first impressions

Escapism bad or "it was all a dream" are probably the worst endings Deltarune could have, though Toby ripping off Mother 3 wouldn't be much better considering Mother 3's final boss shits all over Mother 3's ending.

Mediocre forced yuri is inevitable, my only hope regarding this is that Toby lurks these threads and sees people pointing out how hard his writing shits the bed when he shills his fetish.

Rudy has 0 mandatory dialogues he's completely missable outside the flashback in CH3 and the Church scene and even then you don't even have to talk to him. You can go through the whole game without even noticing him beyond a background character barely any more significant than milk looker.

>>737358046
At the core it's a small town mystery game with furries which is fine as a concept
But then you add like the several different things going on at the same time and it just gets stupid to explain
>>
>>737358046
Deltarune setting feels more complicated.

Undertale: Humans are superior, while Monsters as misunderstood. Racism is bad.

Deltarune: Humans are rare? Race war no longer matters. Monsters are the Lightners and act as superior race in comparison to Darkners who are all servile and treat Lightners as gods. Lightner monsters are now as strong as humans and much more powerfull than Darkners. Message is friendship and beating destiny to form your own future.

You can replace the "ambigous protag" with "non binary character" or "crossdressing joke character" with "trans lion representation" and you have the same retards joing the bandwagon and letting wokes gaslight the fandom to the point people think Kris being nonbinary is canon and supported by the author.

9 is Chara's favorite number because it's the "strongest" number. You can't go higher than 9. This is even seen in Deltarune where SWOON always leaves a party member at -999 health. That's why the Real Knife and Locket give you 99 stats. It's possible that in the route all about getting stronger, we get something that gives us max stats once more.

I think Deltarune has such a good premise it's kind of wasted in its ties to Undertale. I wish Toby had created the game where teens turn into monsters in an RPG campaign in imaginary worlds without any of the meta baggage.

Reposting my theory on the Knight's motive from a previous thread. It is honestly the only reason I can think of for why the Knight chose those three locations to open Dark Worlds in.

>>737199560
>The biggest problem is that Kris is working for the Knight and he doesn't seem like a traitor
Kris is totally a triple agent though. You can see it during that corridor scene near the end of Chapter 4 where Kris was the only one to not help Susie and Ralsei up when one of them falls. This completely contradicts how Kris treated them throughout the game, and it's likely that he is doing this because he knows that the Knight is watching and he wants to convince the Knight that he does not care about them.
As for why he is working for the Knight, my theory is that the final prophecy is something like "the First and Second Heroes must fight each other till only one remains" (which will explain Susie's reaction to it), and Kris' plan is to make Susie mad enough to kill him when the time comes by revealing his treachery and how he sold out Toriel (who is very dear to Susie).

>Plus if Carol is involved she explicitly kept Noelle too busy to go to the church
I don't think Carol is working with the Knight at all, actually. In fact, I believe that voice on the phone during Chapter 4 is actually Ralsei using some yet-unknown way to reach the Light World (explaining the weird way of speaking). We know he is secretly working with Kris behind the scene after all. When the voice said that they will be "right there", it's Ralsei saying that he will head to the church Dark World right away to start censoring the prophecy for Susie, since he knows from his knowledge of the future that Carol will be home early that day and Susie finding the guitar will lead to a chain of events causing Kris and Susie to head to the church earlier than expected, and Ralsei prefer not to go there early in case he runs into the Knight.

No, Gaster's number is 6. All his unused stats are 6, mystery man only shows up in FUN value 66 with 66% chance, his dialogue typer in Deltarune is 666. This is contrasted with Chara's number being 9, for example. 17 is only for entry number 17.

It's okay only because it'll take Toby 4ish years to actually finish Deltarune. I wouldn't be seeking alternatives if Deltarune itself was done or getting finished in a timely manner, because it is legitimately better than the fangames by a good margin

>>737343351

>>737363119

why 17, though?
>>
>>737362924
Hey you want a fun one
Count the boardwalks in Chapter 3 until you fall down the slide [including those to the left with the sneezing remotes
And the number of flashes on the tenna its tv time thing before the screen fully fades out [the last one is very hard to see]
And the number of forest rooms before the egg room and what room the egg room would be if its in between the wingding room and the donut room
And the same for the city
>>
>>737363891
The pattern with the egg room being the 17th room doesn't apply in Chapter 3 with tv world unless you count the different screens of mancountry as separate rooms and the batle screen with the ribbicks as a room sadly. I need to check if the pattern holds if you hack back in the backstage area because it had ribbicks
And it doesn't seem to apply in 4 either though I think it might if you count up the rooms from both routes to the egg room and/or the old way. But I am confident this was an intentional thing with Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. There's no way counting up all the forest rooms makes the egg room room number 17.

>Noelle isn't the knight it's just that the knight is trying really hard to make Noelle look like the knight and is baiting her to start the roaring
If the goal was the roaring the knight could have easily done that multiple times.
The knight, or rather the mastermind behind the knight is clearly working to fulfill the prophecy in a way that suits them.
With this context it's no wonder why Kris is working with the knight. They are trying to save Noelle from from the role she's forced into. Noelle and Kris are working together under Carol to subvert her plan and fulfill the prophecy in a way that suits them instead, which is why I think Kris got Susie involved in the first place, in an attempt to change the prophecy and switch up the roles.
>>
>>737366669
The Knight has some cool stuff like the final attack, the PK Starstorm attack where the shards turn into red things and target you, and the variant of the sword targeting attack where swords spin around you so you have to be careful while you dodge the targeting swords but I think Jevil overall had a more varied attack lineup.
I'd agree with you that the Knight probably has more fun attacks pre nerf but the nerfs to the sword tunnel attacks were way overkill. They should have increased the size of the red indicators instead of decreasing the size of the sword hitboxes.

>>737367319
To sum up the extent of the nerfs you went from needing to not hit the swords when they target you after the tunnel at all and needing to stay away from the red indicators to being able to partially move into the red indicators and still not get hit. The soul can even just be completely covered in swords and not take damage. The hitboxes are extremely thin.
Additionally, the hitboxes of the swords were also vertically shortened, making the tunnel sections a lot more lenient. Before the hitboxes extended slightly out from the swords, now the visuals extend slightly out, so you can get hit by the tip of a sword in the tunnel and not take any damage.
These changes have made it possible to sometimes dodge the second tunnel attack without even moving with the right RNG. The attacks went from being the hardest in the fight to the easiest by a mile

Yeah a "small town mystery game" I don't think gives the right idea. It's mostly correct but the story isn't structured like a small town mystery game and at least half the game is spent in outlandish fantasy areas. I'd describe it more as "a Paper Mario vibe" with every chapter seeing you visit a different themed location.

>>737358301
What you're saying wouldn't make any sense to "someone who doesn't know what Undertale is". Appreciating something like the monster and human constrast between games makes Undertale a prerequisite.

>>737358850
Not wrong but it doesn't really give you any impression of the overall plot, setting or gameplay. It's just one of those "describe a game accurately as poorly as possible" bits.

>>737362180
This is the best one. However it brings up a separate problem (for a person who doesn't know what Undertale is): if we're doing a story set where characters live in a real world and travel to fictional worlds... why is 99% of the real world town made up of animal people, monsters, weird nonsense characters and a skeleton? There's only one actual human, and I don't think there's a reason given for that. Having the characters in the real world being as zany as the characters in the fantasy world undermines the core concept.

Chapters 3&4 also never built upon crafting, gave the dojo one fight and removed the music shop, in general it just feels very weird considering Toby's MO was to put dumb amounts of attention and love in his games, only to drop and add features at a whim in his sequel with more dev time and budget

Anon, the issue isn't leaving a character for the end. Nobody is mad that Asriel still haven't shown up because the story was very clear on how it was going to take a while.
Papyrus has been teased since 2018, look at the 2021 release threads and you will see people were already furious about it back then. The game went out of its way to shove in your face how he wasn't around.
This whole thing was a bad faith way to piss off the fans.

the only things I'd say that really went wrong are:

Chapter 3 being rushed. There was a bunch of cut content in that chapter and it's mostly restorable so it'd only have taken like a month or two at the most to finish.

Drama outside the game itself, some of it being Toby's fault and he should definitely do better, most of it doesn't involve him.

It was that way for Undertale and for chapters 1 and 2, but by the middle of chapter 3 it shifted into being a deconstruction of this style. If 5, 6 and 7 don't suddenly go back to that, the game was mostly *not* this style.

Toby has proven again and again he will make entire complicated gimmicks only to never go back to them, see the teacup rides for example.

All the bullshit with the game right now is either profound incompetence as a developer or straight up trying to piss off the player on purpose, and given how Toby is it's impossible to tell which one is the case without him stating it openly.
>>
>>737379068
It's so funny that Toby would rather break his brain and wrist trying to code a bullet hell game with RPGmaker exploration, a dozen Wario Ware minigames, guitar hero mechanics, beat em up mechanics, space shooter mechanics, platforming climb mechanics, pac man mechanics, punch out mechanics, and a dating sim side plot, instead of just making a straightforward JRPG.

Anons, until you've done indie dev yourself, it's difficult to understand why a dev would make a one-and-done feature or thing in their game. Much of time, something you use in that piece of content can be used elsewhere, and a lot of gamedev is trying to reuse content you've made to save time, even if it's just some lines of code or using the way you solved one problem to help solve a different problem later. All of those weird one off things become tools in a toolbelt you can use for other content later, too.

And Deltarune has grown into this weird cultural phenomenon where Toby gets to hob nob with Japanese gamedev royalty, so the behind the scenes plans are probably changing all the time. (Say a prayer for whoever they have trying to tardwrangle the team behind the scenes.)

My opinion has long been that there's absolutely no rush to release new chapters if the merch is consistently selling and the game is still in everyone's minds. Merch is where you make the lion's share of your money on a game, anyway. (The margins are way, way higher.) I'd ride that merch wave as long as I could and only release a new chapter when sales started to dip.

>>737380353
The gameplay would've gotten stale by Chapter 4 in that case. One of the novel things about Deltarune is all the goofy one off events, encounters, and gameplay situations.
>>
>>737380463
>The gameplay would've gotten stale by Chapter 4 in that case
"It would get stale" retards are the most dense of all.
Earthbound has the same gameplay from beginning to end, and most games are like that too.
Toby tried to reinvent the wheel with Chapter 3 and tripped downstairs with a mess of a chapter that was cut and rearranged with tape on the last minute. He could have just used the proven Papyrus Formula again and told what is essentially the same story and releasing this shit earlier.
>>
>>737380874
Sure, there's something to be said for consistency, but if you're a creative person and you have the time and means to do so, it's a lot of fun just to try new and weird shit. That's how gamedev used to be before budgets bloated to hundreds of millions of dollars; you could take risks on gameplay ideas and have some fun.

I liked the 'retro video game' thing in Ch3 for the most part, but not enough to replay it. Does that mean I wish it wasn't there at all? Not at all.

That just makes Deltarune an amateurish game. It has questionable presentation with inconsistent spritework, written text constantly working overtime to express story elements the graphics can't, a battle system at odds with itself that makes stats irrelevant for 90% of the battles, awfully linear, corridor-like progression in the Dark Worlds, and a frankly kinda botched concept of the Weird Route. The gameplay of Deltarune is bare bones and instead of improving its shortcomings, the creator would rather worry what's the next quirky minigame he should put it in so his ADHD audience doesn't get bored? Maybe I would get bored if the game is nothing but press ACT over and over, yeah, but it doesn't have to be like that.

Remember this is a game being sold incomplete for $25 and has been in development for over 7 years. Freaking Silksong has released in that time. Toby has more resources than almost every indie dev out there and somehow it's not reflected in the game's quality.

>>737381126
It sounds more like you have some kind of personal axe to grind with the game than anything else.

All of the 'faults' you mentioned are varying degrees of minor. The game has a wide mix of content (exploration, lore/story choices, mini games, battle games, etc) and none of them are exemplars in the field, but none of them are broken messes either. Yeah, the art isn't 100% consistent, but it's not a problem of any major size. Yeah, the stats are kind of a meme, but you're not penalized for ignoring them because of that. Yeah, the areas are fairly linear, but that's in line with Mother 3 (for the most part). And so on.

The weird route I also like a lot and found to be quite novel, beyond the borderline impossible to figure out without a guide shit to unlock it.

>It's $25! But Silksong! The quality!
The first two chapters were free, IIRC; probably 3-6 hours of content at least. $25 for the new chapters, and to support the dev, is completely fine for me. And it's clear Toby is spending more money on dev, because the scope/scale of the game expanded immensely vs. what was in the original Undertale. If you're expecting some kind of ENA style 'now it's 3D!' overhaul, you're deluding yourself.

Does anyone here enjoy the gimmicky minigames? Personally, I don't care for them, they're a fucking drag. If I wanted to play flash tier games then I'd just look up free web games and play them.
I just want to walk from point a to point b while fighting/interacting with wacky creatures and solving lobotomite tier puzzles like we did in Undertale.
I'd prefer if those 6 months spent coding Kris climbing up a fucking wall for one chapter were allocated to more fun bullet patterns for regular enemies as well as just more enemies in general. It's been a while since I played Yellow but I remember the average fight being a lot more engaging compared to the ones in Deltarune.
>>
>>737358038
We don't know yet, outside it wants to kidnap certain characters and is opening Dark Worlds. It's not like Undertale were we knew Asgore wanted seven souls to open the barrier and destroy humanity. Even how the roaring is caused is pretty vague, with only in 4 we know how a titan is made.
>>
>>737381671
I don't care about them either. The TV world minigames were not worth the development hell they caused.
>>
>>737381554
I wouldn't call them minor faults. Jack of all trades, master of nothing sort of situation. Think of the Weird Route some more: we could've had a resource to break sequences and create variety and non linearity to the gameplay where you get to play a fucked up creepypasta version of a Dark World, but the concept might be too resource intensive so it's reduced to utter minimum in the next two chapters, oh well.

I'm just saying this: Deltarune should have focused on consolidating a core gameplay instead of trying to tackle everything at once and becoming this mess of a pixel visual novel full of minigames. Developers with much fewer resources have been able to do much more, so I expect a better product. I was just a couple months ago defending Chapters 3 & 4 from criticism of people disappointed the game didn't become what they theorized it was going to be like, but I've become more skeptical and I now feel Deltarune deserves far more criticism for what it's trying to be but isn't.

He panicked way too hard for me to believe that. The damage was done when it got into the full game to begin with, he could have at least waited until the replacement graphic was completed.

I like them and it makes each area unique. The climbing minigame is my favorite but I enjoyed Chapter 3's minigames, too, wish we could reply them. Honestly Yellow is pretty boring outside of the Steamworks and extremely overrated so I'm pretty content with the direction Toby is taking.
>>
>>737381671
Don't hate them at all, but I probably would've if the city board and its TWO minigames weren't cut. I do kinda wish the Cowboy Minigame was fleshed out, developed, and made unlockable like Susiezilla, but that probably would've dragged out the Green Room segments too much. I also hope all of them can come back to Castle Town at some point for replayability instead of just the concert and Mike games.
>Cooking Minigame
Deceptively hard to land a T-rank on if you don't anticipate your jump delay enough. Definitely WON'T miss doing that.
>Rock Concert
Somehow managed to get T-rank after missing one or two notes. Getting T-rank from the Island Board itself was more challenging when trying to get Shuttah's battle over with.

Look at Cibles' fucking face. I refuse to call that phenotype a woman.

Tumblr headcanons all humans as non-binary. It's not real FemKris, they can make Kris an AMAB as well.

How can I support this brave warrior killing fangame trannies?

i see you weren't around for the "gold age"
>>
>>737387283
nta but it does rely on headcanon and fanart since we don't get to se what they were like in the past all that much
>>
>>737387350
>they can make Kris an AMAB as well.
And yet you never actually see them do it as the same rate they go on and on about Kris being biologically a girl.

Nah, I was there in 2016. Big booba Frisk was popular but most people inside actual Tumblr believed Frisk and Chara were non-binary and fervently argued in favor of it. The current fandom is these tumblr fanatics who outlived the casual frans fangirls as they moved on to other fandoms.
>>
>>737387648
True, but that's why it's better. The headcanon allows people to make whatever ship what they want, which is why it beats canon.
>>737387736
That's because they're trying to fight against Suselle shippers who say it's queer erasure, but beforehand they always argued dating a non-binary is queer no matter their gender.

I’ve seen two chicks depict kris as explicit male and they both self insert as Noelle getting raped by her

There's a lot of FemKris that is just Kris with titty.
>>
>>737388246
Half of MaleKris art is completely non-canon. Kris is canonically the short character in the cast, but that make the pussies of Noelle self-inserts dry so they pretend he's a chad instead.
>>
>>737388883
Yeah you can tell when the snowgrave art is drawn by a horny woman.

This but I like my femKrisbros, they're cool humanbros nonetheless but I can only see FemKris when horny.
>>
>>737389116
all krisfags are mentally ill. And that’s ok
>>
>>737389116
Everybody in this thread is mentally ill. Yes, all five (5) of us.
>>
>>737389206
for as much shit as I give you human bros I’ll give you this. Without you and the two other humanfags these threads would certainly not be able to be daily I can’t tell if that’s a good thing

I'm mentally ill in a badass and sophisticated way that would make Noelle Holiday want to have sex with me
>>
>>737389116
that bitch would somehow give you every STD known to man despite being a virgin
>>
>>737389564
The redditor and schizo are the same person.
>>
>>737389623
To get the good ending you will have to give Kris a belly rub.

>>737389370
I don't think we have that much power. I never make threads myself. At best I just bump them.
>>
>>737389370
I'd probably be better if we had a thread every two to three days. We pretty much have had daily threads ever since ch 3 and 4 came out, it's why we ran out of things to discuss so fast.
