Some suggestions after seeing the image again
This might be a matter of preference or your personal style, but I think you should try drawing her eyebrow as a single black line, I feel like making it a hollow shape like that makes it standout less when put against the rest of her blue body
Make her pupil bigger as well, right now it looks pretty small, you could give her bigger eyelashes too, they are very prominent on her face sprite
Besides that I still think the image is good

>This might be a matter of preference or your personal style, but I think you should try drawing her eyebrow as a single black line, I feel like making it a hollow shape like that makes it standout less when put against the rest of her blue body
That can actually be attributed to a misinterpretation of her sprites on my part. I always thought her eyebrow was much thicker than it actually was, due to the space it forms with the top of her eye itself, so I saw that as her having a large blue eyebrow. In my previous images of her, I had her eyebrow as being the darker blue color in her color palette, but I decided against it this time around.
In my older drawings of her, I had her eyebrow as the darker blue that's part of her color palette, but I decided to be more accurate to her sprite this time around.
For her eyebrow in particular, anyway.
>Make her pupil bigger as well, right now it looks pretty small
That was mostly to convey a certain tone with her expression.
>you could give her bigger eyelashes too, they are very prominent on her face sprite
Yeah, fair point.
I will see about factoring in this feedback to my current image of her, though some of it may not be necessarily applicable depending on what expression I go with.

Are you talking about the overworld sprite? I can see how you could mistake it like that after seeing her default expression.
>In my older drawings of her, I had her eyebrow as the darker blue that's part of her color palette, but I decided to be more accurate to her sprite this time around.
I see, I think those type of eye brows work well in some characters like Ceroba, but for a cyclops like Luzma a black line works better.
>That was mostly to convey a certain tone with her expression.
I get that, but the current size looks closer to something like a shocked expression and less a casual one, her pupil is big most of the time.
>I will see about factoring in this feedback to my current image of her, though some of it may not be necessarily applicable depending on what expression I go with.
Alright good to hear, in any case, this could just be a matter of taste on my part, you could ask other anons about it, or If you don't mind I could make a shitty edit of your drawing with some of these changes to give you an idea on how they could look, even if I don't like editing other people's art.
>>

>Are you talking about the overworld sprite? I can see how you could mistake it like that after seeing her default expression.
Yeah, the default expression threw me off.
>I see, I think those type of eye brows work well in some characters like Ceroba, but for a cyclops like Luzma a black line works better.
Perhaps. I will test it later when I get around to sketching her expression in my current project.
>I get that, but the current size looks closer to something like a shocked expression and less a casual one, her pupil is big most of the time.
I don't see it as such, but I imagine the difference is in how we view her.
I'm not the one who designed her, so I'm not as accustomed to seeing her in a particular way.
>Alright good to hear, in any case, this could just be a matter of taste on my part, you could ask other anons about it
I think it has its merit, but yes, I will see what anyone else has to say about it, if anyone else does indeed have anything to say.
It did only get three replies last thread, so it's hardly the most popular thing in the world.
>If you don't mind I could make a shitty edit of your drawing with some of these changes to give you an idea on how they could look, even if I don't like editing other people's art.

It does have the eyebrow too close to her eye..

"Shocked" was an exaggeration, but I do think it looks small, maybe I'm just being nitpicky.
>I'm not the one who designed her, so I'm not as accustomed to seeing her in a particular way.
It could be that too, which is why I wanted to read other anons opinions.

>>>/v/741111001
Very belated, but I wanted to respond the Oyajin green. My overall impression was positive, but I preoccupy myself with the negative, so here's my list of criticism. I apologize if any of this comes off as overly controlling or demanding.

>"The old anxiety"
This is small, but I don't think this needs to be stated. You can emphasize the idea in the line immediately afterward, with Chujin perpetually expecting the other shoe to drop. It communicates the idea much less explicitly.

>"The surface was here"
Opportunity for something more, since you could reference the Steamworks slogan of "The Surface is Tomorrow" here. Maybe something like "The Surface is today, and it was yesterday, and it will be tomorrow, but it is the 'tomorrow' that never quite clicks with him."

>"Ceroba had her worries of course, but she wouldn’t begrudge him"
Could do with a brief aside on how Ceroba counters his worst impulses, which in turn hints at her own development for not blinding herself to Chujin's undesirable traits. She'd have to be VERY on-edge if Chujin started the same self-destructive spiral that blew up their family. Would also make Chujin feel more rounded as a character, in that he sees his issues but still falls prey to them on occasion, and needs others to balance him.

>"His very own grave"
I think this picture needs its own section, even if it's brief. It's only one step removed from having a picture of your own dead body on your desk, after all.

>"The first was the machine of his own creation, model 014- no, Axis."
I see what you're getting at here, but Chujin just calls Axis, "Axis" in-game AFAIK. Could tweak the sentence to emphasize the finality of this Axis. He isn't Axis 014, he's just Axis. Perhaps he could be improved. An Axis 015 might be better in every way, but such a thing will not be, because this Axis is alive, and he deserves to be THE Axis.
>>
>>4003812
>"nor gleaming devilishly"
Another small thing, but you're describing the human generally, when it's only the eyes that would gleam. This created a funny image in my head of Clover gleaming like he's made of metal in the photo.

>"Cautious smile"
A broader topic, here. I read this, and I think, "why are you thinking about this tonight, in particular?" Whether Chujin is noticing it for the first time or it's the first time he's reflecting on it, I would expect it to come after some prompting. Maybe some kind of incident, though a particularly bad one is inconvenient, because then it raises the question about why there hasn't been an intervention with Clover. So, something smaller and more personal, that only Chujin would see. Perhaps he slipped up and said something nasty, or he was indulging his paranoia and saw something Clover didn't want anyone to see.

>"The slightest twitch on his face brought his attention to the front door."
If I'm not mistaken, this is Chujin's whiskers at work? I recall there was a discussion on the topic at some point. It's a bit unclear in this case, I would alter it to something like "The slightest change in the air's current brushes his whiskers and his eyes flick to the front door."

>"The front door creaked open"
Extreme nit-pick, but would Chujin's doors creak, with his skill in woodworking and as a handyman in general?

>"'She's dead.'"
Similar to the cautious smile thoughts above: What prompted this PTSD flashback? I know you might explore that later, in the continuation, but on the off chance that you didn't plan to, I would give the incident some background.

I might have gotten a clue about why this pairing is so popular. I get the feeling that Clover and Chara have had similar hands dealt to them in life, but came to different conclusions mentally. While Chara resorted to Power to cope with whatever horrific shit happened to them, Clover resorted to Idealism and disappeared into the role of "a hero". And I'm pretty sure that the both of them did want to kill themselves but give their deaths meaning through a dangerous, outright suicidal mission. And the meaning they did give their deaths are pretty fuckin' similar, actually. That said, I really think that Clover and Chara would absolutely not vibe with each other, not because one is "evil" and the other is "good", but because they are each other's funhouse mirror of their worst selves and would resent one another for that.

Thank you for giving it a read, and for the feedback anon!
>This is small, but I don't think this needs to be stated. You can emphasize the idea in the line immediately afterward
I thought the emphasis was for the better but, this, combined with the other anons suggestion for brevity, is something I'll give some thought as I look the story back over
>Opportunity for something more, since you could reference the Steamworks slogan of "The Surface is Tomorrow"
I can see what you mean, I was actually trying to reference "the surface is tomorrow here" but this time I was doing it with less emphasis, I've got an idea of how to re-approach it though now.
>Would also make Chujin feel more rounded as a character, in that he sees his issues but still falls prey to them on occasion, and needs others to balance him.
this is actually what I was trying to go for, with his late nights being him feeding the desire to push himself, but more reigned in than before. I wanted to feel like the "old worry" and this was like he was working a worrystone in his pocket, in place of driving himself to destruction.
but since I did more with Ceroba in the follow up, it might be good to work her more into this. Something to think about for sure.
>I think this picture needs its own section, even if it's brief. It's only one step removed from having a picture of your own dead body on your desk, after all.
this one was fully intentional though, I thought that for most people, having such a picture at your desk would be like you said, but chujin is "a rational mind" and so the reminder of his own death carries less weight itself to him than the picture of the family gathering. His death was secondary to what he would have missed because of it.
But that may be falling flat, I just think he might keep something that would be that grim and bothersome to others, because it's a reminder to himself in contrast to the family photo.
>>
>>4003812
>I see what you're getting at here, but Chujin just calls Axis, "Axis" in-game AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure you're right. I was thinking that he may internally register that it's model 014, because of how Axis declares his model when he introduces himself, so maybe before Chujin thought of Axis as 014 despite what he calls him.
But I'll look over that line too because what I'm trying to get across isn't made clear in what I wrote, and it could be conveyed better for sure.
>>4003813
>This created a funny image in my head of Clover gleaming like he's made of metal in the photo.
yeah I can see what you mean there. I'll rework that one.
>A broader topic, here. I read this, and I think, "why are you thinking about this tonight, in particular?" Whether Chujin is noticing it for the first time or it's the first time he's reflecting on it, I would expect it to come after some prompting. Maybe some kind of incident, though a particularly bad one is inconvenient, because then it raises the question about why there hasn't been an intervention with Clover. So, something smaller and more personal
That's a good point. I feel like it's a bit of a follow up to some of the greens I wrote where Clover would sit in Chujins workshop when he himself couldn't sleep, but this story exists without that context for anyone that hasn't read them, and even then, have I really signaled that? I want to express that Chujin is over time recognizing more and more that he has some things to work through in regards to the humans, his feelings that are justified, and his feelings that are not, and is viewing Clover more and more as a person, instead of this strange ideal that lives in his house once every now and then, which is causing him to notice things he'd explained away in his head before.
the cautious smile thing is supposed to be him catching one of those moments and realizing it for what it is
>>
>>4003813
>If I'm not mistaken, this is Chujin's whiskers at work?
yes
>It's a bit unclear in this case, I would alter it to something like
I think I took for granted how much it made sense in my head because of that conversation, and the sense I had in my head when writing of "how will Chujin spot him, Oh yeah obviously it's his whiskers!"
definitely something I'll give some thought.
>>"The front door creaked open"
>Extreme nit-pick, but would Chujin's doors creak, with his skill in woodworking and as a handyman in general?
FUCK, no it's not an extreme nit pick in my opinion. I had completely cut another scene about the floorboards creaking at one point because I had the same thought "Chujin is a good craftsman," but this one slipped past me.
>Similar to the cautious smile thoughts above: What prompted this PTSD flashback?
I go with the idea that the neutral routes flowey dragged him through left a mark somewhere deep in his mind that shows itself in the lack of peace and quiet Clover finds some nights. Martlet dying because of his choice to stay with her, Martlet blaming him with her last breath. Clovers subconscious somehow piecing together that if he did something different she wouldn't be dead, but not having the whole picture. It's something I'd want to explore more if this continued past this.

I feel that in a way this dichotomy contributes to make the pairing even more appealing to a lot of people, there is a reason why “opposites attract” is such a popular trope in media, personally I’m not surprised it became so popular.
>>
>>4003937
>>4003821
it's only popular because a "full" game was made on it
same as UTY now being how 99% of people see the yellow soul as, the ones that finish first are the ones that set the standards
only way to fight it is making a better game, when even finishing it is already an ordeal
>>
>>4003937
I probably wouldn't have as much problem with it if the r/y and rainbow versions of them weren't written so insufferably, but beyond that yeah I get the whole "opposites attract" but people take that too literally. Usually people have some common points or fond points with the people they really connect well with, but shippers instead read this as "people that stand for completely directly opposing things would wanna smash".

it's like pairing martlet and ceroba because "opposites attract" but we've seen if anything in game that their opposing point actually threatens to push them further apart in some way.

Also, I fucking despise the R/Y clover talk sprite.

>>
>>4003939
I get you completely, I just don’t want people to be dissuaded from writing interactions between this two since I feel there is still a lot of potential for creative writing with the idea, we should try to separate the interactions and the ship from R&Y when discussing it in a vacuum.
>Also, I fucking despise the R/Y clover talk sprite.
While I don’t share the draconic rage you feel for it, i fully agree that stoic Clover is best Clover and anything else is inferior.
>>
>>4003958
>I get you completely, I just don’t want people to be dissuaded from writing interactions between this two since I feel there is still a lot of potential for creative writing with the idea
there probably is. I'm not personally interested in it, and I'm pretty sure most of the people that bother shipping Clover around here go for Kanaclover, but I wont kick and scream if someone wants to try writing that ship, though I have little faith in it from all of what I have seen out there.
If someone feels moved by it, then by all means write, though you may not have as much of an audience here (and really, that's fine. sometimes you write things regardless of how many people might read it.)
>While I don’t share the draconic rage you feel for it, i fully agree that stoic Clover is best Clover and anything else is inferior.
I'm not even against him showing emotion, but the few times he actually shows emotion in yellow, it's special, meaningful. His fury when he sees asgore, his despair when going through the meta flowey experience, or even just that little smile he does when he fist bumps Martlet.
the r/y version of him is just wacky and silly in the worst of ways, just to make him a goofball to bounce off charas dour tone. That's really the biggest issue with most of the cocoapowder out there. No one is interested in writing the actual tension that would be between two such people, they create a clover from the ground up that can act as a foil to this fan version of Chara.
>>
>>4003963
Yeah what I meant by “stoic” Clover is showing emotion when it matters, being all hyper expressive all the time is just not Clover and a lot of people don’t get that.
>>
>>4003966
yeah then that's completely fair. I guess when you have people not getting the characterization of characters that are much more open with their personality on screen, you're bound to have people not catching the subtle aspects of someone like clover. Yeah he's up to interpretation to a great extent, but there's also a lot of clear information to go off of.
>>
>>4003821
>I really think that Clover and Chara would absolutely not vibe with each other, not because one is "evil" and the other is "good", but because they are each other's funhouse mirror of their worst selves and would resent one another for that.
the problem is that the little we have of the two of them are completely contradictory to each other, and not in an "opposites attract" way
>clover sacrifices himself for the sake of others, chara sacrifices herself for a personal agenda
>clover ran from the surface to save humans, chara because she hated them.
>chara belives in the rule of power, clover in the rule of justice
just these alone, those two would be trying to kill each other by the end of the day if you left them in a room alone.
the only way cloverXchara works is if you make completely new characters and ignore the existing plot points.

I said I would give it a try, that synopsis involving kid Noelle seemed interesting, would the story also develop the same way fnaf 4 story did? With short "overworld" segments between each night?
>>
>>
>>4004063
I don't know if that could work because realistically the Vessel would be the only threat that makes sense, unless we add FRIEND and like, Kris's rotting corpse. But overworld/day segments that show some of the lore does sound good.

>with his late nights being him feeding the desire to push himself, but more reigned in than before.
Hm, I can the angle, but these two things together...
>but he had a better grip on himself now than then
>Ceroba had her worries of course, but she wouldn’t begrudge him... so long as he always remembered himself.
...really leave me with the impression of Chujin either being truly in control of himself, which feels a tad over-clean, or that he's deluded himself and falling into old habits, which feels tragic and believable--but is outside the scope of what the story's about.

>but chujin is "a rational mind" and so the reminder of his own death carries less weight itself to him
I can see that, and even agree, but I would almost approach from the opposite angle: it's not the macabre aspect that would bother him, but the picture's assault on his rationality. He dug his own grave with his rational plans and secret-keeping, and I see him as the kind of person who looks back on everything and genuinely can't see how it all went wrong. Everything follows from A to B to C so neatly in retrospect, and he should have reached Z. Oh yes, he should have, if only he had been more careful with the SOUL, if only he had been MORE rational, and refrained from self-experimentation, THEN everything would have went off without a hitch.

And he's telling Ceroba about this, completely missing the point, until she slaps him and then hugs him like he's about to disappear, and he realizes all over again that no, there was no victory on that path. He defeated himself with his own intellect. His own nature betrayed him and his family, and it's asking him to do it again. It knows all the right words to say, and he wants to feel the honey in his ears every time. And he hugs Ceroba back ferociously, like he's afraid of disappearing, too.

>I want to express that Chujin is over time recognizing more and more that he has some things to work through
>the cautious smile thing is supposed to be him catching one of those moments and realizing it for what it is
I getcha. I don't even think that Chujin recognizing this is a problem generally, since one can easily infer that this is the arc he wants to go on purely by everyone being alive and living in the same house, on the surface. What I'm getting at is the particular thing he's catching onto, tonight of all nights: A cautious smile. He must have looked at this photo many, many times, but he only notices this particular detail /now./ Why? Maybe he said something unintentionally insensitive, and Clover smiles through it, hoping that a tirade doesn't come, but expecting it anyway. Maybe Chujin just gets frustrated over some soldering and lets that leak into his voice, and Clover flips the "I lived in a bad household" switch and tries too hard to soothe him, and Chujin's far enough along in his arc that he sees the smile for what it is, and applies it to the picture.

>...But now half-writing fanfiction, in mid-reply.
I may borrow somewhat from the line of thought you used here if it doesn't offend.
I'm imagining now that looking at the photo reminds him of that conversation with Ceroba, and not that the conversation is happening right then.
Maybe the photo reminds him of that conversation now, of how quickly he went in that direction again once.
I'm not sure, but I'm gonna give that scene a lot of thought.
>He must have looked at this photo many, many times, but he only notices this particular detail /now./ Why?
Ok that's a fair question. I'm not sure how to address it without starting the story earlier in that day, or flashbacking to earlier in the day.
I wrote a story before about Chujin tucking the kid in not too long ago, so maybe there's some way to work with it without doing a full multiple paragraphs of what happened, and kind of being brief about it? I know I keep saying "I'm going to think on it." but I'm running it through my head and considering it because it makes sense. In my head I know why chujin is thinking this now but it's not really on the page is it?
>Thank you for reading my own walls of text
the feedback is really sincerely appreciated. It's nice seeing that people like something you write, but it means a lot to me when someone takes the time to tell me where I might consider improving.
>I'll read it, and there may be more walls of text. Eventually. The last two weeks have been stupidly busy for me

Here are the edits based on my suggestions for the whilk drawing. The last sketch you posted for your next drawing was practically what I had in mind already, so there's nothing much left for me to add here besides the pupil shape, I did a second edit with her eyelid being all black, which is closer to her overworld sprites, that was something I did when I drew her because of the limited size, I didn't think much of it back then, I actually don't know if her eyelids should be black or blue, go with whatever you prefer.
Also another edit with an altered eyebrow expression because I wasn't sure which portrait you used as a reference for this drawing.

I would recommend you try synth noises and instruments. Most people will recommend using actual voice samples, but that Undertale only really did that for a couple characters. The rest were instrument sounds cut down and edited. When you make them all voice clips, they end up sounding harsh on the ears. Also, if you do use human voices, remember to bitcrush them. It takes them bass out and makes them less unpleasant when spammed a million times a second.

Pinky promise it's not just "Undertale but the characters are swapped and then it's turned evil." The bullet patterns are rather uncreative and gameplay feels a bit unpolished but that's to be expected for a demo and the music is really good. The whole soundtrack is made by one of the directors for that one Undertale Halloween Hack soundcloud which was posted a few threads back.

I went to sleep thinking about Reynault for the first time in several days and immediately had two really vivid, really unpleasant nightmares in the same night.
I would really like, just once, to be able to get a normal night's sleep while thinking about him.
>>
>>4004520
Do you get nightmares when you think about Ceroba before sleeping?
>>
>>4004434
Alright, I see.
I think that second one there looks the best to me overall.
I actually did at one point consider making her eyelids black, but I ended up deciding against it.
The layer still exists in the image's .kra file, it's just not activated.
I think I prefer her having blue eyelids like that in general, but maybe I'll do something different at some point.
As for the facesprite I most directly used as reference, that would be [picrel], at least for her eye, because I liked the idea of her being really smug about [you] wanting to drink her whilk, and it is a very smug face. I didn't try and recreate the mouth she has in this sprite though, but that's because I wanted her to look like she's actively speaking, so I needed her mouth to be open.
Anyway, thanks, I'll make some further alterations to the current project based on this feedback, mostly for the pupil, since you said the sketch was mostly similar to what you had in mind anyway.
>>
>>4004521
Not usually, no.
I only had one as far as I could recall, but that was shortly after the other dreams I had about her, and her "presence" in that nightmare amounted to me hearing a voice that I somehow recognized as hers calling for me to wake up, which ended the nightmare early.
So whatever this is, it might just be localized entirely around the idea of Reynault specifically, which is disconcerting.

>>4004539
Yeah, I think it's helped a decent bit, I think this eye looks better now.
Might still need to work on her mouth though.
I studied that one sprite of her holding in her laugh, with the puffed up cheeks, and I tried making her mouth a bit smaller like the sprite has, which I think does actually look better, but it's still missing something to me.
I might actually try and implement the puffed up cheeks she has in that sprite, albeit a bit less extreme.
I've gotta say, studying her facesprites for these recent drawings, her face is really well designed in general, she's very nice to look at.
The sprites themselves convey emotion really well, but also, you know, she's just really cute in general.
That one sprite of her looking down makes me kinda feel bad though. Activating that weird feeling inside my rotten soul that makes me not want her to suffer, which in turn gives me that "I'm not supposed to feel this way" feeling.

It already looks pretty good, but yeah, the puffed cheeks woulds represent the emotion better, when I saw the sketch I thought maybe making her mouth wider would help, but looking at your pic, making it smaller was the right call.
>I've gotta say, studying her facesprites for these recent drawings, her face is really well designed in general, she's very nice to look at.
I do think she's my best looking character right now.
>The sprites themselves convey emotion really well, but also, you know, she's just really cute in general.
Since her eye and mouth are so big any face I give her ends up looking very expressive, you don't get that kind of freedom with most UT portraits due to the limited size you have to work with, the downside being that with one eye some expression are harder to represent, but it is worth it.
>spoiler
There might be more where that came from, or maybe she just had a dumb nightmare that day, who knows.
I guess you don't like seeing the characters you like suffering... at least in this less fun context.

Thanks, I have made a few more changes to it though, but nothing terribly drastic, and I think it looks better anyway.

Yeah, I think I'll test that out in a bit, really wanna make her look like she's on the very brink of busting out into hysterics.
Which might seem disproportionate given what's actually happening in the image, but I headcanon her as being extremely ticklish because I think it goes well with how much she laughs, so I like it.
>when I saw the sketch I thought maybe making her mouth wider would help, but looking at your pic, making it smaller was the right call.
That's the direction I was going with at first, but I think that sprite you made of her had the better idea.
>I do think she's my best looking character right now.
Your other designs aren't bad by any means, I don't think you have a single bad or even sub-par design right now, Luzma's just the hottest.
Every time I say that I just imagine her getting increasingly smug at me because of it.
>Since her eye and mouth are so big any face I give her ends up looking very expressive
That is fair.
>the downside being that with one eye some expression are harder to represent, but it is worth it.
That's also fair, though I have seen some decently expressive characters with one eye, or only eyes in general, though it is still very hard to manage.
>spoiler
Aw man.
>I guess you don't like seeing the characters you like suffering... at least in this less fun context.
Yeah, there's nuance to things.
I like seeing "suffering" in certain contexts, but it's usually not the characters actually feeling *bad*, just being put through an extreme stressor for sexual purposes.
Seeing Luzma seemingly feeling *bad* in that sprite doesn't feel the same to me as if I had her worn out from doing something with/to her, it's a difference in source feeling.
>>

>Yeah, I think I'll test that out in a bit, really wanna make her look like she's on the very brink of busting out into hysterics.

Well, that headcanon makes sense, I won't deny it.
>Your other designs aren't bad by any means, I don't think you have a single bad or even sub-par design right now, Luzma's just the hottest.
I don't dislike any of my designs for the main cast either, but there are ones that I just like more than others.
>Every time I say that I just imagine her getting increasingly smug at me because of it.
I can see it too.
>>the downside being that with one eye some expression are harder to represent, but it is worth it.
>That's also fair, though I have seen some decently expressive characters with one eye, or only eyes in general, though it is still very hard to manage.
Oh no, they are very expressive, especially cyclops characters like Luzma, but some faces like a wink are impossible to represent unless you get really creative.
>Seeing Luzma seemingly feeling *bad* in that sprite doesn't feel the same to me as if I had her worn out from doing something with/to her, it's a difference in source feeling.
That's fair, there's an important difference between seeing a character being sad because of something they've lost and seeing them, in pain because of exhaustion, one is a temporary inconvenience, the other is something deeper.
>>
>>4004574
>If that's your goal then you're getting there.
Thanks, I'm really trying to make sure her face looks good on this one.
>Well, that headcanon makes sense, I won't deny it.
Heh, nice. I'm not gonna say it should be canon or anything, I just think it's a cute/hot detail for someone who laughs so much to also be insanely sensitive like that, even if I am also just a freak.
>I don't dislike any of my designs for the main cast either, but there are ones that I just like more than others.
Fair enough, everyone has their favorites.
>I can see it too.
Well, at least her smugness is well earned.
Ordinarily I find a certain amount of smugness to be irritating, but with her, I think it's endearing.
>Oh no, they are very expressive, especially cyclops characters like Luzma, but some faces like a wink are impossible to represent unless you get really creative.
Yeah, I get that. Maybe you could do a good wink by having one side of her eye close more than the other, to sort of emulate closing one eye, but it'd be hard to convey in a still image.
>there's an important difference between seeing a character being sad because of something they've lost and seeing them, in pain because of exhaustion, one is a temporary inconvenience, the other is something deeper.
Well, I don't even really like pain usually, the stressors I'm into are different than that, either being worn out from the sensation of tickling, or being over/under-stimulated from edging or post-orgasm torture, stuff like that.
I'd want to see Luzma under any of those sorts of stressors, but pain I'm not really a fan of.
Unless she asked me to (lightly) spank her or something, that's about as much pain as I'm okay with inflicting, and I'm not even into that.

I think the little character is dumb and gets used to bait arguments sometimes, but the trick is, just ignore it and those arguments happen less and less. Being a shitbaby about it is just going to make things worse.

>Heh, nice. I'm not gonna say it should be canon or anything, I just think it's a cute/hot detail for someone who laughs so much to also be insanely sensitive like that, even if I am also just a freak.
Maybe she's just laughing by how eager you're to make her laugh by tickling her, or just laughing at the entire scenario of being tied up only to be tickled.
>Ordinarily I find a certain amount of smugness to be irritating, but with her, I think it's endearing.
So she's an exception?
>Yeah, I get that. Maybe you could do a good wink by having one side of her eye close more than the other, to sort of emulate closing one eye, but it'd be hard to convey in a still image.
I wasn't planning on giving her a winking face, but I could try that as an animation.
>Well, I don't even really like pain usually, the stressors I'm into are different than that, either being worn out from the sensation of tickling, or being over/under-stimulated from edging or post-orgasm torture, stuff like that.
I guess "sore" would have been a better word to describe it instead of pain.
>Unless she asked me to (lightly) spank her or something, that's about as much pain as I'm okay with inflicting, and I'm not even into that.
Spank what? the tail? its not like she has a butt below her back
>>
>>4004644
>Maybe she's just laughing by how eager you're to make her laugh by tickling her, or just laughing at the entire scenario of being tied up only to be tickled.
I'll make her laugh even harder if she's not careful...
>So she's an exception?
Hm, maybe. I do really like Ceroba's smug facesprite (not pictured, because I don't have it on me right now), but I think for Luzma as a character, I enjoy her smugness not only because she has a funny face when she's smug, but also because I feel like she at least earns the "right" to be smug about herself. She's strong, beautiful, capable, she has things worth being smug about.
Also the idea of her being very smug while teasing me with whatever part of her body she's decided to exploit my fetish for is hot to me.
Her smug aura does not mock me, it makes me horny.

>I wasn't planning on giving her a winking face, but I could try that as an animation.
Sounds interesting to see, would love to see how that goes if you do it.
>I guess "sore" would have been a better word to describe it instead of pain.
Hm, better, but I usually just go with "worn out" or "exhausted" myself.
>Spank what? the tail? its not like she has a butt below her back
Hm.
Yeah, I forgot that for a sec.
Well, I remember the idea of her still having an erogenous zone on her backside being talked about at one point, so, that I guess?
I dunno, I don't know too many pain-related fetishes, especially any that would work on her if she was into them.
I was gonna say "choking", but that's more about a specific nerve than it is about pain, and I'm also not really into that, and I wouldn't do it to her for fear of accidentally hurting her anyway.

Stop, you'll make her blush.
>Her smug aura does not mock me, it makes me horny.
I could tell.
>Sounds interesting to see, would love to see how that goes if you do it.
Maybe I'll do it next time I decide to procrastinate.
>Yeah, I forgot that for a sec.
I mean, no one who stop you from spanking it if you want, just don't expect it to have the intended effect.
>Well, I remember the idea of her still having an erogenous zone on her backside being talked about at one point, so, that I guess?
That could work too, there's always that sprite of Luzma with legs I did as well, even if I don't know when or how it would be implemented in the game.
>I dunno, I don't know too many pain-related fetishes, especially any that would work on her if she was into them.
I was about to bring up the "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" but now that I think about it, that doesn't apply to women.
>>
>>4004646
>Stop, you'll make her blush.
Would she really?
Cute.
I do like the idea of me saying these things to her so matter-of-factly that she gets caught off guard and blushes about it, that's nice.
>Maybe I'll do it next time I decide to procrastinate.
Wait, no, don't procrastinate more, that's bad.
>I mean, no one who stop you from spanking it if you want, just don't expect it to have the intended effect.
Well like I said, I'm not really into spanking.
Plus, if she doesn't have an ass, there's not much point either, don't get to feel her cheeks or anything.
>That could work too, there's always that sprite of Luzma with legs I did as well, even if I don't know when or how it would be implemented in the game.
Hm, so she could manifest a pair of legs, specifically so she can have an ass, so she could be spanked.
Awfully roundabout, but I can respect that.
>I was about to bring up the "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" but now that I think about it, that doesn't apply to women.
Do I really have to explain things about this?
Sigh.
Okay, when it comes [genital] torture in general, I'm not really a fan of pain even still, though it does occur to me that you could interpret my Chujin and Zaer images as being pain-oriented, that was not my intention.
Over/understimulation is more my thing when it comes to that kind of stuff, not pain.
So if I were to subject Luzma to such a thing, I'd much rather either edge her to the point of tears, or subject her to post-orgasm torture until she's so worn out she can barely form a coherent sentence, but I'd never want to hurt her.

She would act all smug and nonchalant about it, but you could notice her flames looking brighter.

Ok, I think I see your viewpoint, pain is more like a sub product that comes from the action that you actually enjoy, even if the characters are crying you're focusing more on the stimulation aspect.
Alright, I think we went a bit off topic with this.

Wouldn't it be longer? Martlet would be pregnant with Clover for nine months, then there's the time it would take for the egg she lays to hatch.

>>4004805
When God created the first human, they were determined, but impatient. So they made a second human. The second human was patient, but not brave. So they made a third human. The process repeated until there were seven. Just as God was about to cast them away in frustration, he saw them working with one another, helping each other with their weaknesses, to become more brave or more kind or more just. So he released them to the world as they were. Today we gather to recognize we are incomplete, and can only become the best versions of ourselves by working together.

File: fangames.png (2.63 MB, 1920x2290)
2.63 MB PNG
This weekend I played a bunch of fangames to tide the WAIT over for chapter 5
Here is a list of them, all of them in varying quality
Some felt really off but most got the feel of the original gameplay right (as in menus and such)
>>
>>4004901
I finally got around to downloading soulblazers, though I didn't make time to actually play it sadly
>>
>>4004901
which one was the best in terms of plot/characters and which one had the best gameplay?
>>
>>4004896
looks alright, but why is the menu so different in general? Is there something you're planning that won't fit with Deltarune's UI?
>>
>>4004908
I haven't played all of them yet but I enjoyed Crocker fan's chapter 6 "Deep Dreams" take the most, even if the game is just some small segments (similar to lambdarune for chapter 3), but the youtube series has more stuff. I hope it gets a full chapter someday but I know that's harder to do than just a few battles
Frostveil is interesting but too repetitive with big corridors over and over, and the enemies can all be spared in 2 turns
Upper Hand, Priest Goofball and Scampton are great fights. Goofball actually made me laugh with some of the silly jokes
The rest I tried were ok, but a few specific ones like Frozen Heart, WGY Tale and Vs The Moon are custom engines that try to mimic DR's gameplay but fail and feel very amateurish as a result, most others use krystal so they are as accurate as they can be to actual material
Atonement was made by Deltatraveler's dev and is very edgy
I'll try to tackle the rest I haven't played after I beat chapter 5
>>
Good threads everyone. Few hiccups but, video games were in fact discussed
>>
>>4004814
>>4004846
Seems cool as something the humans would believe, but I doubt the monsters would view themselves as the second child.
>>
>>4004896
The split spell menu looks bad. Just make it scroll.
>>
>>4004901
How did you manage to play all these in 48 hours?
>>
>>4004814
Its funny, I've been writing a lot of Undertale religion stuff for my fangame, and the way I wrote it, the monsters were the ones that came first, while the humans came after.
>>
>>4004940
I didn't I only played around half of them, see >>4004912
I will play the rest later
And I am still missing a few like One Hell of A Show and some other fangames, but this is my collection as of yet
Also Vs Seraphim is interesting as it is a mix of OFF and DR, kinda like swapfell, but I wonder if it is actually made in RPG Maker, if so then it's impressive they got the bullet system working on that engine
>>
>>4004943
That's still 21 games in 48 hours.

Also is "survey_program" SURVEY2, or something else I haven't heard of?

>but I wonder if it is actually made in RPG Maker, if so then it's impressive they got the bullet system working on that engine
Deltarune Hallow's Eve Hack did that and the bullet portion worked pretty well, even if the rest of the game is a dysfunctional mess.
>>
>>4004945
>Also is "survey_program" SURVEY2
It is that one where you control the vessel and dess through the depths

>That's still 21 games in 48 hours
Most of the single battle ones can be beaten in under 15 minutes
>>
>>4004948
>It is that one where you control the vessel and dess through the depths
never heard of it

>Most of the single battle ones can be beaten in under 15 minutes
Usually takes me longer than that for those kinds of games on account of the difficulty.

its really just a simple lack of space due to all the small additions throughout.
here for example, there's no room for character reactions.
i need to be able to fit 4 characters on the bottom bar at the bare minimum so i need a second line to fit the reaction, but that takes up too much space and would overlap with the actual pause screen, and i cant really take much room away from the top bar.
>>
>>4004977
I see what you mean now. That "Power" stat is also interesting
>>
>>4004977
>there's no room for character reactions
You can seriously just spawn litle popup windows on top. Your planned UI looks worse than your old one

>Gold and yellow flower are in a relationship in DR chapter 5

Our reactions?

Undertale 2 is the only one on here I would recommend to someone who isn't massively autistic and undertale obsessed. That is to say, it's unironically great.
>>
>>4004978
i intend for it to be a dual mix of narrative stat and an actual dark world stand in for LV/EXP.
it does scale with stats, equipment, learned magic and whatever else. but it also increases with certain events like closing dark fountains or fighting darkners.

Fair enough, just try and get things done as you can.

So she isn't necessarily into being spanked, but she does want to make it clear that she does indeed have things to be spanked?

I went to sleep last night thinking about Luzma, to see if that would make me feel better when I actually tried to sleep.
I ended up imagining being held in her arms as I cried, wither her shushing me as my tears evaporated on contact with her body.
Which I guess was nice.
>>
>>4005029
>So she blushes with her entire body then?
I thought that idea was already established in the thread, if I enjoy an idea and it doesn't conflict with anything I have planned then nothing stops me from making it canon.
>So she isn't necessarily into being spanked, but she does want to make it clear that she does indeed have things to be spanked?
Maybe, if she takes it as an offense that you'd think her body lacks such a feature.
>>
>>4005031
>I thought that idea was already established in the thread
Oh, I thought that was primarily an indicator of how close she is to climax, I see.
>Maybe, if she takes it as an offense that you'd think her body lacks such a feature.
Well, like I said, I'm not into that specifically, so it's not much of a downside for me, more just an observation.
Like that one old Nedroid comic about one of the characters trying to give the other a shoulder rub, only to pause and realize the other character doesn't actually have shoulders to rub.
Just an interesting anatomical detail.

So I just finished Bioshock 2, and surprisingly enough it has some big parallels to UTY.

[Spoilers for BioShock 2 in case you somehow still care about those 17 years later]

So Delta (your player character) dies at the end. Usually I hate that sort of thing, makes me feel robbed and cheated, like the whole journey was pointless, but here (unlike in UTY) I actually felt alright about it. Bioshock 2 managed to make dying at the end feel completely justified.

First of all, I think a big part of that was that it wasn't preventable. Delta really was fucked from the moment he woke up. The game plainly explained what was killing him, and throughout the game made it clear how, why, and what would happen to him. And at the very end, cuts off any chance of reversing it. So when he dies, its not a shock, but just what you saw coming for a long time.

And second, and most importantly, it still gives his death meaning. He accomplishes his goal, he saves Eleanor, and the cost is his life. It took everything he had, but he did it.

Meanwhile in UTY, Clover's goal was damned from the start, but you don't find out until late in the game, and he just abandons it and switches to the completely unrelated goal of saving the monsters. Then dies in a wasteful and pointless way that actively contradicts his original goal. Makes the whole thing feel like a trick with a punch in the gut on the way out.

But then the parallels go further, because optionally Eleanor can absorb Delta's mind so he can live on through her and continue to guide her even after death. So it even gives his dying breath an additional extra purpose to sweeten the deal. This is almost the exact equivalent of people wanting Clover to give his soul to Roba so at least Kanako could be saved, even if he couldn't.
>>
>>4005037
I don't think I dreamed of anything when I slept.
Didn't get a full night's sleep either, would've woken up around 8:00 if I did, but I didn't set an alarm or anything.
I am simply awake.
For whatever it's worth, I suppose I feel a bit better, or perhaps simply distracted.
Anyway, I'm just going to focus on beating the pre-patch Knight without the mantle like I wanted to do today. I'm at the bit where Susie starts talking during the fight, so I assume I'm making some progress.
>>
>>4005038
I don't really like how Delta gets absorbed by Eleanor in most of the endings, which is why the neutral "good" ending is the best one in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKxqjqP2BT4
I also think its one of the best neutral endings in gaming in general since it doesn't feel like a watered down version of the "good" or "bad" ending.

Now I said parallels, that's because there's more than one.

Throughout BioShock 2 your actions as Delta unknowingly influence Eleanor, teaching her ethics, until at the end, she's the one who makes the final moral choice of whether to spare or kill Sofia.

That's almost an exact parallel of what you do for Chara and Frisk in Undertale, teaching them morality through the actions you commit, until at the very end they make a choice of their own. Frisk refuses to fight in pacifist and Chara fights regardless of your input in genocide.

The game even has multiple spare vs kill scenes involving each level's talking head. And the good answer isn't always spare.

Also, to my mortal nemesis. I know you're already reading this and typing a strongly worded reply about how I'm wrong due to some collection of minor differences of execution, so I wanted to ask you something. What do you think of the philosophy of Sofia Lamb, and what do you think of her plans? Her talk about the destruction of the self and serving the common good reminded me of your view of being a cog in a machine that wants nothing more than to be used up and stop existing. Made me wonder how you two would feel about each other.

Any other thoughts on this image would also be appreciated, though I know it sits somewhere outside the bounds of what is typically enjoyed around here.
>>
>>4005040
I think good, bad, and neutral are kind of bad names for it. Really it seems to be a question of self centeredness vs selflessness. "Good" is doing everything within your power to help others. "Bad" is doing everything within your power to serve yourself. "Neutral" is doing what you think is right based on yourself, caring for others, but not forgetting yourself. The good and bad variations of that are just telling Eleanor whether that "neutrality" was cold utilitarianism or serving a personal moral code.

All of these, of course, reject Sofia's view of the self as an obstacle to the common good. The selfless ones view the self as the person, thus killing that is only harmful, and that if good is done it must be done by choice. The bad views the common good as an obstacle to the self, and that the self is the ultimate good. The neutral says that there must be a balance between the two for morality.

Its a hell of a lot better than BioShock 1's binary morality.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but I actually never played Bioshock 2.

You kill kids to obtain the bad ending and you hear Eleanor speaking like a typical villain in one of them, then there's the sky turning into a violent storm compared to the neutral and good ending, there's not grayness here, it is framed as an evil act.

As someone that was okay with the whole unbirthing thing, I wouldn't in any way consider the cursed stuff behind the links to be wholesome, definitely not beautiful, and it sure as hell isn't interesting.
Unbirthing and whatever was behind those links, aren't even remotely in the same category.

I think it fits pretty well with the themes of familial bonds. He's effectively choosing the human idea of good based on emotion and attachment over his own agency throughout the route, and when he dies, his last act is to serve his ultimate human role as Eleanor's father, even if he becomes nothing but that guiding hand. Its effectively the philosophical inverse of Sofia. Sofia wanted the individual bodies to be stripped of their will to serve the common good. Delta gave up his body, becoming nothing but a will to serve an individual.

Its almost a synthesis of Ryan's and Sofia's philosophies.
>>
>>4005056
To an outside observer it is, but to them good and evil are a spook. All that matters is the self. In effect she's become the truest believer of Ryan's philosophy. Even truer than Ryan himself.

I'll admit its an imperfect depiction. Probably because its a late 2000s AAA action game with Litt room for subtlety.

>>
>>4005063
I think there may have been multiple intentions in the game, possibly from multiple people. Its obvious they needed a good and evil ending because Bioshock had those, but the game also had a central philosophical question that didn't have much to do with good and evil. So they kinda just haphazardly made one answer good and the other evil.

>Yoy say that a lot but, I dont think youre right this time.
I question whether you're right here.
The image itself appears to have garnered about as much attention as I'd figured it would, which isn't surprising to me.
I believe this lends credence to the idea that either this sort of thing is rather unpopular, or my work in general is.
>>/v/741634735
>I do care
Could you elaborate?
>Damm she's buff as hell, gret work anon, I see her whilk bags haven't gotten any smaller since the last drawing
Yes, I recall someone asking me if I could draw her with abs sometime after I posted that image of her receiving some oral, and I saw something online that gave me some inspiration to take a crack at it.
As for her breasts, I like being consistent with proportions whenever possible, unless I have a specific reason to diverge from how I've drawn them before.
So, I may continue drawing Luzma with this newly increased breast size going forward, whenever I draw her in the future.
For NSFW stuff anyway, I may tone them down a bit for normal drawings.

I think 2 is the best of the 3 games, I played infinite long after it came out and I thought the entire thing was disappointing from gameplay to story, but you keep proving to have tastes alien to most (even if the popular opinion is that Infinite is perfect) so you might actually like it.
Btw you should play the Minerva's Den DLC for Bio 2 is pretty good.

nah, I mean ok yeah maybe the things like your reynault images that appeal most heavily to you specifically, but that's just gonna happen when you do something very niche.
I think people have enjoyed your Luzma stuff.
you've also shown some solid improvment since I first saw your art, it's definitely notable. Keep at it Anon.
>>
>>4005069
I suppose I'll see.
To answer at least part of your questions from earlier (>>4005042), assuming you're the same anon, regarding "destruction of the self" and "serving the common good", while I believe the common good is worth serving oftentimes, I do not believe the individual should be fully sacrificed for the sake of the collective, since that can eventually lead to a point where people just exist to exist, rather than actually living lives.
People, broadly, shouldn't be cogs in a machine, I believe the purpose of a society is to serve the people who compose it, not the other way around, there's just a balancing act you have to maintain.

My views of wanting to serve a purpose and then cease existing are due largely to how I perceive society's problems, and a number of problems i have with existence itself. I have been somewhat suicidal since before I was a teenager, and even before then, I always had a different view on life itself for as long as I can remember, so to an extent I've never really viewed myself as being the same kind of conscious entity as most normal humans, I'm easier to separate out.
So *I* want to serve the world, but I don't believe the point of existence for the baseline human should be to die for others inherently.
I suppose I may make a post at some point in the future about Bioshock 2 in particular if/when I get around to it, if you wish to discuss things further.

If Sig's art is anything to go by people here do love abs, I don't see this as a weird drawing, and like the other anon said it was posted pretty late, you shouldn't feel discouraged just because your art doesn't get as much attention as someone with more experience, you'll get there eventually.
>Could you elaborate?
I like your art and I like seeing the people here develop their skills, its a pretty cool process.
>Yes, I recall someone asking me if I could draw her with abs sometime after I posted that image of her receiving some oral, and I saw something online that gave me some inspiration to take a crack at it.
I think the abs came looking great if you ask me, meatier than I expected, and I don't say that as a bad thing, I do think you should keep drawing her with abs if you're going to draw her that buff from now on.
>So, I may continue drawing Luzma with this newly increased breast size going forward, whenever I draw her in the future.
I guess Luzma went trough a training arc and ended with these abs and new proportions, it makes perfect sense, even if breasts this big aren't my personal preference you should keep drawing her like that.

Hm, maybe.
I suppose it got more attention than a lot of other stuff I've posted in the last few months, but it's hard not to feel underwhelmed at times, knowing the kind of attention other drawanons get with ease.
>nah, I mean ok yeah maybe the things like your reynault images that appeal most heavily to you specifically, but that's just gonna happen when you do something very niche.
The niche stuff I understand, but it seems to vary, what works and what doesn't. I remember that Bedo drawing I did only got two replies at the time, and that definitely left a sting.
>I think people have enjoyed your Luzma stuff.
Perhaps. I also remember the last two images from that batch I did of her back in April not doing terribly well either, which also left me with some disappointment.
I know it's not reasonable to feel like this, no one's asking for it, I'm doing it of my own volition, so I have no reason to expect anything back like that, but it's been eating at me for a while now.

sigs the only one that gets huge responses every time he posts art and to be fair he's been with the threads since the beginning, and he's gotten pretty good at what he does. It's hard to gauge the response that martlet draw anon gets because of that one shitposter that spams the same requests over and over again, and admittedly that one person who drew quetzali flashing her tits when naranja came out knocked it out of the park with the colors.
even then there's been a couple sig posts that have gotten very little responses.
just keep at it, I look forward to when you complete works (I admittedly don't open certain ones but hey everyone is allowed their own tastes, right?)
>I remember that Bedo drawing I did only got two replies at the time, and that definitely left a sting.
I felt like that one got more attention, or at least spawned continued discussion. We're also fighting over threads getting deleted and not being able to link them here properly which breaks up responses I think.
>I know it's not reasonable to feel like this
it's perfectly reasonable. You may draw for yourself but it's normal to still want people to see and acknowledge something. what would be unreasonable is if you had a threadwide tantrum about it, which you're not doing obviously.
I've done things that got no or next to no responses and yeah, I did it for my own sake first but it still felt like "fuck man, nothing? no one?" Humans are just wired this way, we just have to be aware of that and not fly off the handle when we feel the things we were built to feel (which again, you're being perfectly reasonable)

Alright, noted. I'll likely keep drawing her with them, makes her a bit more unique for how I draw her compared to some other characters.
>>
>>4005106
The responses the martlet drawanon gets for his art is legit just like with sig.
Yeah there's those trolls that like to spam nonsense, but his art is genuinely popular here and on e6, especially considering he's drawn a number of different things, and they've all gotten a sizable amount of positive reception.
Something to note, sometimes if an idea is translated really well into a drawing, regardless of the art style it tends to get a lot of responses.
Honestly it can be a hit miss with responses, either because the idea wasn't translated well into an image, art style, and of course whether or not people wanted to see the image idea in question.
Like if a bunch of people request to see something specific, naturally it should get a lot of responses, unless the quality of the art was really bad.
And if you post your own idea, it depends on how well it was drawn, and if the idea in question is appealing to look at.
>>
>>4005091
>I generally try and make sure every new image is at least a bit better than the last, though that doesn't always pan out.
You can't always expect to see improvement from your last drawing, but I'll say something that I like about your art, and that is that you keep your drawings varied, they always feel different from one another, I also like how you represent the characters personalities, as absurd this might sound the "-ilk" set of images is a good example of this, they all have the same prompt but each character is shown to have a distinct reaction and body language, you can see it on that Wiki pinup you did a bit ago too. maybe if you kept drawing similar things those improvements would be easier to notice, but I prefer what you do right now.
>Bedo drawing I did only got two replies at the time, and that definitely left a sting.
Did it really only get two? What a shame, I thought it came out looking good as well.
>I know it's not reasonable to feel like this, no one's asking for it, I'm doing it of my own volition, so I have no reason to expect anything back like that, but it's been eating at me for a while now.
Its natural believe it or not, I understand that feeling, that what you're doing isn't living up to your expectations or that very few people care about it.
I've made posts in the past with a lot of effort in them that went unnoticed or received only a single reply, you will have doubts but that doesn't mean that you must stop now, believe me, if you keep improving like you're doing, it will all be worth it.
>I generally try and make sure every new image is at least a bit better than the last, though that doesn't always pan out.

Eh, I've seen the regular drawanons around here get some big responses pretty decently consistently too, and they're also generally way more well-liked.
Hell, I remember one time in the morning a few threads back, some anons were arguing about that Wiki drawing the unbirthing anon made, and while arguing about it, one of the anons flat-out said that he was the only one to have ever drawn Wiki right by that point, saying everyone else who had drawn her was wrong, and I'd drawn her the most by then. I chimed in to tell them to leave my work out of it, but it's hard not to feel inferior sometimes when that's the kind of thing I see being said about my work, even indirectly, that I've done something "wrong". It adds up.
>I felt like that one got more attention, or at least spawned continued discussion. We're also fighting over threads getting deleted and not being able to link them here properly which breaks up responses I think.
It only got two when I first posted it, as far as I remember.

there was nothing to correct me over, everyone knows about when someone repeatedly spammed him with the same request over and over again in one of the recent threads. It's not a knock against Martlet drawanon to acknowledge that there was a very obvious shitposter stirring things up.

Hell, the guy even doubled down on spamming the same handful of requests over and over again when called out.
>>
>>4005115
>one of the anons flat-out said that he was the only one to have ever drawn Wiki right by that point
yes I saw that post. it felt like very awkward wording (ever notice that one poster who makes that very stilted "oh wow, I didn't know that this draw anon was drawing wiki now!" like it's one half of a sales pitch?

I guess I have to point out since someone thinks I'm talking shit about the artist, but no I'm not taking issue with the artist, love his work too, but I think a person or two have latched onto him as a way to stir up shit, using one artists work to insult anothers.
>but it's hard not to feel inferior sometimes when that's the kind of thing I see being said about my work, even indirectly, that I've done something "wrong". It adds up.
I feel like that's the kind of goal of that kind of poster.
who makes a drawn out
"wow, and you're telling me that THIS ANON is the FIRST to draw her RIGHT???"
like they're mimicking krillin in those /dbs/ shitposts if you know what I'm talking about.

Just a meanspirited person trying to blend in with all the sincere and good natured posters we have here. (and yes I even call the arguing and shitflinging discussions we have, part of that good natured sincerity).
Hell, someone used my writing as a tool to try and shitpost against that draw anon when I was first starting writefagging. honestly it just felt really shitty being used as a tool to knock down another creator, but I had to remind myself that there are people that are bitter and come the closest they've ever managed to being "happy" when they tear others down. Not giving criticism but just causing trouble you know?

To chime in, considering what happened in the recently closed thread, the asshole who seemed to have hard on for just being asshole whenever the martlet drawanon posts anything or interacts with people here, was being openly hostile to the guys first ever wiki drawing.
Essentially he was saying he did nothing right, and the image itself was shit in several aspects, only for the person who created Wiki, to state something about Wiki, to which the drawanon corrected, and at the point, he was the only artist to have draw her with all the features she was supposed to have, just in his own style.
When before then technically no artist had actually drawn her correctly, as she was always drawn with white pupilless eyes when she has red eyes, and the drawanon used prior drawings as references, only for the asshole to tell him he did nothing correctly. That whole argument was because that retard was trying to dictate what the correct way to draw Wiki was, when the guy who literally created Wiki, in his own words, said everyone's free to draw her how they wish.
I wouldn't pay much heed to all that, because the argument was more or less telling the asshole to cut his bullshit out, because his criticisms were incredibly hypocritical and nonsensical with his logic, and if you were present in the previous thread, we basically told him to piss of, because his bullshit had gotten ridiculous at that point.

>You can't always expect to see improvement from your last drawing, but I'll say something that I like about your art, and that is that you keep your drawings varied, they always feel different from one another, I also like how you represent the characters personalities
Thank you, really.
I do like to try and get the characters I'm drawing right when I draw them, because the personality of the characters is a big part of what makes them work for me, even aside from visual design. A lot of the characters I draw technically have more to go off of writing-wise than visually anyway, so you could argue it was their writing I became infatuated with first too.
As for posing and variety, I generally try and keep things different enough from each other, to force my own development. I believe I start to stagnate if I draw the same things too often, based largely on my own experiences drawing previously without changing much, so I try to keep things different nowadays.
>Did it really only get two? What a shame, I thought it came out looking good as well.
From what I can remember. I moved on quickly, but it still kinda sucked to post that and see so little attention to it.

not only does she have white eyes in her colored sprite, but oldentale anon (I believe) commented that he's ok with people doing things in their own style.
Then responding to the person who is feeling down about it, directly with the exact words that were bothering him, makes me think you're just mentally disconnected from the conversation.

There was also one person being an asshole, and a couple other people giving critique like suggesting that her head was shaped differently than in her sprite, or that she was personified differently.

you're coming across weird about it man. Take a moment and reread the conversation or something.

Hell, my own Wiki image got a few extra downvotes on esix after the unbirthing anon's works were posted, just a little hard not to feel compared to with all that happening.

yeah I knew exactly what post you were referring to. It's awkward as fuck phrasing. I think I use a bit too many commas in my talking, but I feel like this person is stopping every couple breaths to re-enunciate and it comes across like those off the wall krillen posts.

If they aren't doing this intentionally then they should take a step back and ask themselves what the fuck they are doing.
They go out of their way to point out how he's the only one to draw her correctly, "like she's supposed to have" and all of that, and then goes on in the opposite direction.

>I replied to that post and told them to leave my work out of their argument they were having, but it's still disheartening to see that, just casually being said to have drawn something "wrong" just to praise another artist.
like I said, either a shitposter, or someone who is deathly unaware of how their own words come across.

I wont fault you for liking it, but I think I've just become attached to the idea now. It feels right to see her have talons.

I think it was that whole "I'm not a man of the talon" green that rewired my brain. I'm still not a man of the talon, but I want my bird to be bird.

You don't see this often someone becoming infatuated with a character's personality instead of looks, but from what you draw I know you really are like that.
>As for posing and variety, I generally try and keep things different enough from each other, to force my own development.
That's good, if you keep experimenting you'll have a much easier time drawing anything, even the more basic stuff.

Sometimes you have to tell your brain to go fuck itself and keep doing what you like because you like it, did you start drawing because you enjoyed it? or did you do it because you wanted to impress others? I know the answer is sometimes in the middle, and as long as a single person enjoys your work as much as you do, I think its worth it.
From time to time I have those thoughts too, it sucks when it happens, but I know I have to keep pushing forward, it would feel even worse if I stopped there just because I had some doubts about myself.

If I'm being frank, I think it's the hypocritical statements that made the whole thing blow up which probably was the asshole's goal.
Cause like how can you just say to the drawanon you drew wiki wrong but the others did it right, when he literally states his wiki is based of the drawings the other drawanons did as he never drew her before.
I don't believe there was any malice towards you with the statement, but I can understand someone blowing up because of someone's clearly being openly hostile and disrespectful to an artist, when the same criticism being thrown at them, could be said for other artists, but they dismiss them to further shit talk the artists work.
Like it you said, the drawanon isn't even responsible for this, but it sucks that there are people here weaponizing other artists work to shit talk him, which naturally has the result of other artists getting pulled into a firestorm a shit talker started.

We already have confirmation from the devs that Zenith Martlet's feet shown in her sprite is Martlet's actual feet. Which to be honest was kind of obvious.
At this point I guess it's just personal preference, and what's easier to draw for artists. Do they go with accuracy, or their own spin.

A lot of questions were literally answered regarding characters and other stuff regarding the game years ago.
One of the big reveals was Zenith Martlet wouldn't have melted and actually would have been able continue living without issue, had it not been for all the damage she accumulated during her fight with Geno Clover.

It's funny how this basically made the whole Zenith Martlet unbirthing Clover idea all the more stronger, since we now have confirmation she wouldn't die after she injected herself with determination.

Mostly for myself, at first. I still do largely just draw what I want, but I like making other people happy too, if I can. Just seems like that doesn't pan out a lot of the time.
>From time to time I have those thoughts too, it sucks when it happens, but I know I have to keep pushing forward, it would feel even worse if I stopped there just because I had some doubts about myself.

this is the current battle UI.
idea is that the character you're currently selecting for will have their small box move down as the bigger box is updated
i am open for feedback.
>soul button?
with the justice stuff im doing i need a bit more room for acts, so acts related to that monster party members will also get spells split into offense and support.
>why's the TP bar down there?
the sides of the screen will be used for other stuff.
status effects and how you should take a given enemy out of the battle after you've checked them once

You're saying this as if you never drew vanilla stuff, even your last drawing was pretty normal compared to some of the things we see thrown around here.

But you're making people happy with your art, otherwise no one would comment on it.

That's the spirit, even if sometimes we forget why we started in the first place.

It was from a discord comment by one of the devs. I believe it was the same one who revealed that Martlet did indeed grow in size when she became Zenith Martlet.

I'd say just do something relaxing tonight, read a fic or even just doodle nonsense if you can't keep yourself from the pen. Hell, even vent a little with some writing. But when you're ready again to draw, I look forward to it.
Just let the inspiration on what to draw come naturally instead of chasing what you think you "should" draw.

if it ends up being something saucy with reynault, I'm sorry that my comments will not be able to be anything more than "good work getting it done", but don't let my or any other anons tastes dictate what you end up wanting to draw. unless you end up in a requests mood one of these days of course.

I'll stop prattling on but, if nothing else, imagine for a moment that the roba believes in you.

Yes, but at a certain point I just mean it as a blanket statement regarding my work. Even that Luzma "whilk" drawing I did only got three replies when it was first posted, and people were supposedly looking forward to that. It might just be how things are.
>I've seen your progress and I say there are high chances of it happening, this isn't some blind hope I have in you.
I guess I'll just have to accept that, even if I think it's misplaced.

Very few people do, at least.
Whatever "audience" I have, even when it comes to tamer stuff, is very limited.

Just have to keep on keeping on, I guess.
>>4005176

I think I think too much to ever really be "relaxed" at any given moment, but I'll do what I can.
I feel like I never draw fast enough to draw for stress relief anyway, always ends up taking too long, the stress relief becomes a stressor in and of itself. I dunno. I'll figure something out, probably.
>spoiler
Ah, think it'll be a bit before I get back to anything with him. Cooldown, I suppose.

I do want to take requests again soon, actually.

It would be misplaced if the chances where small, but to me they aren't.

Your audience can only grow, the people that already like your drawings won't go anywhere.

I like how everybody on here was shitting on chapter 3 when it released. But now Tenna is a fan favourite, crazy how that goes
>>
>>4005194
Tenna was always a fan favorite, what are you talking about?

it depends, if you mean gameplay wise then 3 is the weakest if you want to play deltarune for the deltarune gameplay instead of fake zelda
tenna is funny but he can be a bit grating at times

there's never any rush. in due time and all that. I thought about doing some writing requests this weekend, and then when I sat down, the only chance I had of getting anything done is if it was to make myself feel.
People love when requests are taken yeah, but it's not some obligation that you need to drive yourself to do when you don't want to.

Fuck, new chapter comes out tomorrow and I haven't beaten the Knight yet.
Can anyone tell me how long the fight generally is?
I can somewhat reliably get to the part with the second sword tunnel attack, but surviving past that's been rough so far.
>>
>>4005239
You're attacking with Rude Buster every turn you can, right?
If so it should last 10-14 turns
>>
>>4005239
the fight is more like a sans fight, all the attacks are patterned and can be easily learned.
as for the second sword tunnel, it depends on how often you're rude bustering with susie.
the general strategy is to put the mantle on her and defend with the other two to build TP so that you can get one off every turn.
>>
>>4005240
Yeah, and occasionally attacking with Kris and Ralsei whenever I know I can no-hit an attack, though that's not often.
If it's 10-14, I think I should be able to push through if I really keep at it.
>>4005241
>the fight is more like a sans fight, all the attacks are patterned and can be easily learned.
Yeah, I've been getting a bit better each time, but it's still pretty tough.
>the general strategy is to put the mantle on her and defend with the other two to build TP so that you can get one off every turn.
Oh, I'm doing it without the mantle, wanted to beat it without it.

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna keep trying at it.

You know, I feel like DR handles the whole pacifism vs violence thing kinda worse than UT did.
UT at least lets you commit to one or the other completely, having two different routes for each extreme, but DR technically can't be played completely pacifist, because it has fights you can *only* win through actually fighting.
Which by itself isn't the worst thing in the world, if anything it ties back into what Asriel said at the end of UT, that you can't always settle things peacefully, but the fact that so much of DR discourages you from fighting ends up making those mandatory fights way worse, because you just don't think to be prepared for them.
Like, why would I be spending money on buying weapons if I'm never gonna use them, right?
I get what Toby's going for, but I feel like it could've been done a lot smoother than how he did it here.

And that's why it's not cheating for me to have used a save editor to make myself more well prepared to fight the Knight. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
>>
>>4005246
I also feel DR still strong arms you into pacifism by using the recruit system, and any stat bonuses you do get from fighting are undone by the end of the chapter
though I'm struggling to think proper rewards for doing fights (besides making the stat boosts permanent)
>>
>>4005250
Well, the secret bosses (until Gerson, I guess) had alternative item rewards for it you beat them through fighting, like Jevil giving you the Devilsknife instead of the tail, or Spamton giving you the Puppetscarf instead of the Dealmaker, but those rewards are really only useful if you're going to keep primarily using violence, so they aren't as desirable as their pacifist item counterparts.
The way DR handles things, violence and pacifism are both options, but they don't feel like equally *viable* options, the game seems way more in favor of one or the other at times.
>>
Just no-hit the sword tunnel for the first time, I'm making progress.

im giving toby the benefit of the doubt with the whole "your choices dont matter" thing, and that we'll need to break the game with snowgrave or the twisted sword to get that option, but yeah i am somewhat disappointed on how inconsequential its been so far.
its why i'm just going to give everyone a lethal ability outright for DRY2 and let you kill everyone you fight like you would undertale genocide, along with letting you spare the fights that should be a mandatory kill even to the detriment of the castle town equivalent.

Alright, damn, that's a pretty decent way to shake things up, in theory.
I just hope that if you have an equivalent of the Knight that you don't accidentally set it up like the Patriots.
>>
>>4005280
in general the rule will apply to just about anything.
the two exceptions being lightners (for obvious reasons, having that as a hard line for 'random killing' seems fair.) and "set piece bosses" like titans because they're simply too destructive to the hub dark world.
otherwise its fair game from killing even the most peaceful darkners to sparing shit like titan spawn.

Genuine question. When it comes to fangame characters, who in the dev team can claim the characters they created are their own OCs? The concept artist that initially created them? The concept artist that initially created them and helped to expand the design? The director? (Like MSR) Or, the whole team?

I guess another way to frame my question would be “Are the UT characters Toby’s OCs, Temmie’s OCs, or both?”
>>
>>4005337
Whatever character Toby created, those are his characters. Whatever character Temmie created those are her characters.
Regardless of where they show up, if someone created a character from scratch, unless they sell of the character or something, the character is theirs.
>>
>>4005337
Whoever came up first with the character, if MSR made the concept for Ceroba wrote her dialogues and such, then that character is his, even if someone else drew her for the first time, you could say that the design belongs to the artist but the character itself is still MSR's property.

>>4005388
It is a silly dread to have.
>>
>>4005337
I think after a certain point they become a group effort, just like the game itself. If a character is written by one person, designed by another, and animated by a third, then they all have a share in him.

Of if you're based, then nobody owns them. They're everybody's OCs, because intellectual property is a spook.

Don't accidentally set up a mystery story around the identity of a specific character or characters without already knowing who you're planning on having it be or without making it possible to deduce based exclusively on in-game information or else you risk writing yourself into a corner and making the reveal to the mystery feel like a letdown no one could've reasonably predicted.

If you're wondering who the Patriots specifically are, they were the main antagonists of the Metal Gear series from Metal Gear Solid 2 onwards, but Hideo Kojima didn't actually plan to have the series go too far past MGS2, so he never intended for the Patriots to actually be directly taken down or have their true origins or identities revealed, which resulted in MGS4 having to make a lot of really stupid decisions revolving around them that effectively ruin a lot of the better written characters in the series all because the Patriots were never really meant to be revealed like that.

So what I'm saying is, don't do that.
>>
>>4005504
Try starting a new Chapter 4 save and heading to Castle Town to see if the Dealmaker is there.
>>
How many more attack turns do I have to go against the Knight once I get the death screen where you're told to go "just a little further"?
I feel like I'm getting there, but it still feels like a hell of a mountain to climb so far.

Also, if I'm honest, using that save editor to un-fuck my save is kinda getting to me, I feel like I need to go confess to a gaming priest now.

oops
>>
>>4005527
>sick in the head, that's time you could have spent doing things you've already done before, for no reason!
To clarify, the reason I didn't have any good weapons or items before is because I never thought to stock up on weapons because [see earlier post on the matter] and I never held onto my revivemints from earlier chapters because I used them at the secret bosses for the most part, or just used normal healing items.
I'm doing this pre-nerf and without the mantle anyway, I figure that makes up for it enough.
To be safe though, I will be sure to self-flagellate sufficiently later on somehow.

>got a link to the save editor? sounds useful.
Sure, here you go: https://tennaproject.com/welcome
It's decently versatile, though mind what slot you're editing the save for, the naming scheme Toby designed is a bit obtuse.

nice, thanks. I want to find out if there's one for yellow as well to attempt to LV1 Zartlet one day . Useful little tools to have on hand.
>spoilers
I mean its fiiiine. You've been through it before and you'd probably be able to save those revive mints if you did things the long way since you have the experience with those chapters by now.
I mean, CAST INTO THE PITS OF HELL YE SINNER.
>>
>>4005533
> I want to find out if there's one for yellow as well
Oh yeah, right here: https://save.yellow.undertale.wiki/
Speaking from experience, it does also let you modify your stats and whatnot, though that can lead to some unintended consequences with scripted events during battles, like that "why won't you die?!" bit in Ceroba's fight in pacifist.
>I mean its fiiiine. You've been through it before and you'd probably be able to save those revive mints if you did things the long way since you have the experience with those chapters by now.
Yeah, generally, chapter 3 wasn't too hard, I just manage items poorly sometimes.

>Yeah, generally, chapter 3 wasn't too hard, I just manage items poorly sometimes.
I actively use items in games to avoid the whole "going through the game with a full inventory" thing, but honestly the best use of save editors is doing challenge versions of fights like the mantle-less you're doing.

When I first went through UTY's genocide route, the only kill that made me feel bad was Bailador.
Yeah, caught me off guard too.
>I actively use items in games to avoid the whole "going through the game with a full inventory" thing, but honestly the best use of save editors is doing challenge versions of fights like the mantle-less you're doing.
Oh, I already didn't have the mantle, mostly because I locked myself out of getting it by spending all my points on shit I didn't need because I'm a big stupid idiot, I just used the save editor to give myself some better weapons instead of the default ones for everyone, because I've been doing everything pacifist so far.
Well, as pacifist as the game'll let me really.
I've debated going back to do a "perfect" playthrough at some point, getting all the eggs, better equipment, recruits, etc, but I don't know if I wanna do that just yet. I guess I'm already not doing things authentically, but maybe I'll just beat the knight in this save and then not actually continue forward, just so I can know that I beat it but without "tainting" the rest of the save.
>>
>>4005539
>spoilers
man he, you know his fight is poorly designed, but I like him and I know he only wanted what was best. It's not his fault that all of the things you don't want to do when designing a rhythm game were put into his fight.

I imagine him being one of those monsters, if you didn't load when you die, to slowly realize that you were human and, feel absolutely no better about what he'd done when he came to understand. He'd probably feel much much worse if you didn't attack him at all. Maybe he'd never dance again.

once you have beaten the knight pre patch (I'm assuming your file is pre patch based on recent discussion I'd seen), then it's fine however you go about it from there on imo. you've shown yourself that you have the ability, no need to worry further every single time you run through.

>man he, you know his fight is poorly designed, but I like him and I know he only wanted what was best. It's not his fault that all of the things you don't want to do when designing a rhythm game were put into his fight.
Yeah, but it was mostly his dialogue towards the end of the fight that kinda got to me.
He was so apologetic, that hit me harder than any attack ever did.
>I imagine him being one of those monsters, if you didn't load when you die, to slowly realize that you were human and, feel absolutely no better about what he'd done when he came to understand. He'd probably feel much much worse if you didn't attack him at all. Maybe he'd never dance again.
Yeah, especially in a pacifist timeline where Clover was actually going along with it but couldn't keep up.
A real "what have I done?" sort of thing.
>once you have beaten the knight pre patch (I'm assuming your file is pre patch based on recent discussion I'd seen), then it's fine however you go about it from there on imo. you've shown yourself that you have the ability, no need to worry further every single time you run through.
Well, if I do another run from scratch, I'll probably have the mantle the next time I want to fight it, I'm just unsure if it feels right to continue the game off a modified save. Has a bad taste to it I'm not sure I can get over, if I'm honest.
Then again, I did use console commands to beat Her in FTL: Multiverse, but that's a lot more hoops to jump through than the Knight really is.
Maybe if I no-hit it or something, that'd count.
>>
I'm consistently getting decently far into the fight at this point, but also my mind keeps drifting and flashing me with that one drawing of the Knight teasing the viewer with their feet every so often.
That image is gonna feel weird if the Knight ends up not being Dess, but oh well.
Anyway, I'm getting better at it.
>>
>>4005512
Don't you only get the "just a little further" if you die at the full-screen attack? If so, you literally just have to survive that one and you win.
>>
>>4005549
>He was so apologetic, that hit me harder than any attack ever did.
yeah, shit I forgot that in genocide you don't even get locked to the movement grid.
he just kind of stares at you and takes his death.
Now I wish there was more art, or fics involving him.
>A real "what have I done?" sort of thing.
I'm not a fan of the idea that most monsters don't know they're fighting a human, but I think he definitely was one of the ones that didn't really register that it was a "fight".
>>
>>4005552
Nah, I've been seeing it before that, sometime after that attack with the circle of swords and whatnot.

Anon, it was always only either Dess or Noelle, since Ramb mentions "That girl" that Kris used to play pretend, and also imagined King, Queen and Tenna with.

And Noelle knight is retarded beyond belief, so that leaves only Dess as a viable candidate.
>>
Okay, I did it.
That actually wasn't the worst.
Revivemints are definitely useful, but I think I may just be able to do it without them on my main save sometime, though I do still have worse weapons and armor on my main.
Ah fuck it, I beat pre-patch Balteus and Cel in AC6, I've earned this one.

>>
>>4005564
i never really got noelle knight, i was putting my chips on carol knight since i was betting on a double subversive thing
>>
>>4005558
It hasn't really been confirmed. If you've played the game and you're aware of the sort of stuff Toby does when it comes to how he messes with players, I'm willing to bet the Knight isn't Dess, or Rudy, or Carol. Because it's just to obvious.
>>
>>4005568
Yeah, but I could be better.
No mantle was a good challenge, but I ate through all three of my revivemints during the fight, so I could do with some improvement.
>>
>>4005566
I don't know how to quantify that, I think some other fans are more powerful.

I thought I sent a joke reply but it got ate.

Not yet, anyway.

Congrats, you're ready for Kaizo Knight.
Is what I would say if there wasn't less than a day left. It's not bullshit, but I definitely think it's beyond anything Toby will be willing to put in difficulty-wise. Base game Knight is almost definitely meant to be the difficulty of the final boss, but with the caveat of it being able to two-shot your party.

nta, but he's basically a doodle in his most "complex" form. hell his name literally just means goat.
he's a scribble that a handful of people fixated on so it's not surprising if there's gonna be a bunch of doodles.

surprised the people obsessed with him haven't tried writing something or characterizing him but it's whatever.
>>
>>4005618
>surprised the people obsessed with him haven't tried writing something or characterizing him but it's whatever.
The most characterization he has gotten is that goner style sweater, so I guess he's one of them, or maybe he's a kid that saw a goner one time and now he larps as one
>>
Chapter 5 Double bingo
>>
>>4005619
I thought the person that drew him with the creepy eyes did it in purpose to lean into the whole goner thing, but then he walked it back, so I assume theres an allergy to doing anything with him.

Fuck it hes a goner its canon now.

I kinda like the idea that he's an unauthorized fucking thing that wanders the margins between the fan games

He's goner adjecent but not a real goner, maybe Gaster sent him to keep an eye on the fangames while he takes care of Deltarune.
Or maybe he's just the platonic ideal of a scrimblo, a perfectly generic scrimblo if you will, he has no story and a extremely simple design, yet people still obsess over him.

I don't really have any horse in this race but on a meta level I think it's mildly interesting that the character typically called "Yagi" here is itself not really the actual Yagi, both in being not really the character it's sourced from that nobody really knows anything about, but also further, that THAT character also isn't the character this whole rumor from 7 years ago was about.
>>
>>4005659
>I don't really have any horse in this race
there's no real race to be had. people who want to draw the thing are welcome to do what they please.

no such thing though, and trying to get that going is inviting the same old argument really.
>>
>>4005660
It was a thing, everyone that likes the character to my understanding at least, however, realizes that'd be an asshole thing to do to and counterproductive harass some random asshole online.

Okay, am I stupid, or did anyone else not know that Kris's "hold breath" ACT actually did something?
I'm having a way easier time dodging in my no-revives save, it's so much more manageable now.
>>
>>4005666
Yes the hold breath act speeds up the soul, tho you only need to use it once
You were doing the fight this entire time without doing it?
>>
>>4005666
I mean it's kinda 50/50, it can fuck up your movement for attacks and screw with your muscle memory.
>>
>>4005665
Ah, you're here to directly spread that rumor. No thank you not interested mr salesman
>>
>>4005667
>You were doing the fight this entire time without doing it?
Yeah, I beat the fight earlier in a more-prepared save without it, I just figured it was one of those useless ACTs that only give you a bit of flavor text and nothing else.
>>4005668
>it can fuck up your movement for attacks and screw with your muscle memory.
Maybe, but it feels way better like this for me at least.
>>
>>4005666
I didn't know it either, I only discovered it after beating the knight for the first time, the extra speed makes dodging the box cut attack much easier
>>
>>4005669
Like I said I have no horse in this race.
>>
God damnit, I fucking no-hit so much of the fight just to get bodied by that fucking sword ring attack, it's like the one attack I can never reliably survive.
>>
>>4005676
I mean that really isn't too unusual, the whole point is the fight isn't designed to be no-hit.
It's possible, but that's really not how it's designed so you kinda have to expect it to not be great.
>>
>>4005684
>the whole point is the fight isn't designed to be no-hit.
nta but I don't see how.
Each attack is designed with ways to avoid damage, it's pretty well set up all things considered.
>>
>>4005684
Yeah, but given that I don't have any revives on my main save, it's a no-hit whether I like it or not.
>>
>>4005686
How did you get to the knight with no revive mints? I get using them against Jevil but Spamton is kinda easy and Tenna isn't that hard either, you got plenty of them in chapter 2
>>
>>4005687
I just don't think I held onto them, or I used them too much since I didn't think the game was gonna make me really need them at any point.
I also don't have any weapons other than the defaults, because the game discouraged fighting so much that I figured I shouldn't waste the money on them.
I already beat the Knight in an edited save earlier, one that had three revivemints and some actual weapons, but I wanna try and get it in my unedited save so I can carry forward with this one instead, so it's more legitimate.
>>
>>4005685
Yes every attack is "dodgeable" but the actual fight is designed around putting on the shadow mantle and using restorative items.
You're actively working against how the fight is designed as a whole, even if you're just doing it Mantleless
I suppose a good equivalent if a bit spoilery is like how the final boss of kingdom hearts is designed as a dps check where if you are under-leveled eventually you hit a point where it'll start spamming an attack that leaves you with no opening to attack eventually draining your resources to recover and killing you.
>>
>>4005684
>the whole point is the fight isn't designed to be no-hit.
Technically every fight in UT/DR is designed to be no-hit, otherwise they would be unfair
>>
>>4005688
> I didn't think the game was gonna make me really need them at any point.
I figured if we were going to get super bosses harder than Jevil then they would become very important later on.
>I also don't have any weapons other than the defaults, because the game discouraged fighting so much that I figured I shouldn't waste the money on them.
Aren't you forced to fight Queen in chapter 2?
>>
>>4005692
>I figured if we were going to get super bosses harder than Jevil then they would become very important later on.
Yeah, but I also didn't factor in the existence of something like the SWOON effect making it basically impossible to revive party members with normal healing items.
>Aren't you forced to fight Queen in chapter 2?
Are you?
I thought that fight was mostly about disconnecting that wire from Berdly.
And even then, Queen's fight is nothing like the Knight's.
>>
>>4005689
>I suppose a good equivalent if a bit spoilery is like how the final boss of kingdom hearts is designed as a dps check where if you are under-leveled eventually you hit a point where it'll start spamming an attack that leaves you with no opening to attack eventually draining your resources to recover and killing you.
that doesn't feel like a good equivalent because nothing the knight does reaches that attack spam kind of phase.
>>
>>4005694
That's the entire fight, basically every attack is more or less designed to mulch the player.
I'm sure some nutcase could probably intentionally put themselves in the dps check phase of the ansem fight and still win, it's TECHNICALLY a dodgeable attack, but designwise, no you're not supposed to win at that point, it's basically a formality since just cutting to black and saying
>hey you aren't playing the game correctly, go level up some before fighting the final boss
Isn't the standard conventions for a fail state in games.
>>
>>4005696
NTA, but DR has dedicated dialogue for beating the Knight without having the shadow mantle, so I'd say it's definitely an intended way of doing things.
I mean, I did it earlier, just with better items on me.

>>
>>4005702
NTA, but I'm already having a hard time looking myself in the mirror after editing in normal items I could've gotten but didn't, some things are just too far.
>>
>>4005702
that's different for me. Checkpoints or bust.
>>
>>4005698
I guess maybe where we're getting mixed up here is the difference between
>Designed to not conventionally be possible
And
>Designed to actually be impossible
Like, say another example, sure, technically, you could remember all the rules for mettaton's maze and walk through it
Or you could find the switch in the darkening room in chapter 1 without actually going around the room to reveal the tree.
Or beat Sans first try without getting hit.
But the way these things are designed you're not supposed to be able to do it that way and there isn't an expectation for the player to do it like that and the experience is not designed in a way to be enjoyable to players, who in most cases wouldn't be doing any of those things because they actually enjoy it either.
It's kind of a mutual assumption of suck.

Okay, well, the main point I was making earlier is that the unmodified save I'm now trying to beat the Knight in is one where I have no revivemints and all my armor and weapons such except for the ones I got from Jevil and Spamton.
So, it'll have to be possible for me.
>>
>>4005708
I guess the most I can say is that you aren't expected to do it that way, which I can't stress enough is not the same thing as it being impossible.
It's just going to suck a lot.
>>
>>4005611
Its all work that needs to be done. Doesn't really matter what order you do it in, as long as it all gets done.
>>
>>4005710
It has, yes.
But, I'm getting better at it the more I keep doing it, even if I do kinda wanna throw my controller out a window right now.
Doesn't help the damn thing has a slightly busted stick, but I press onwards regardless.

Having Bioshock on the brain, occurs to me that Reynault is exactly the kind of person that would be invited to Rapture, and the type that would thrive in that environment, possibly even moreso after things go to hell. I could see him leaving a lot of colorful audio logs around the place. He'd probably play both sides for his own benefit. Maybe he'd be friends with Sinclair, but I neither of them would be above stabbing the other in the back if need be, and they'd both know it.

Maybe this version of him would've been a WW2 vet who lost limbs in the war, went to work as a security consultant, which in turn got him brought in shortly after Ryan started getting paranoid about Fontaine, then he got new legs via Adam and other rapture tech.
>>
>>4005718
I feel like Reynault would probably be a lot smarter about things than Ryan or Fontaine were, or he'd end up getting caught in the crossfire once the civil war started up.
Rapture kinda sucks.
>>
>>4005623
>>4005626
He's like a goner, but has no relation to Gaster. He simply reached existant non-existance by unknown independent means, and now haunts the less traveled timelines like a ghost, creeping in from the peripheries of reality, where the walls aren't quite so solid and the rules not quite so strict.
>>
>>4005634
Deltarune takes place in an ethereal idealized "present". Not a specific year, but just a year that is not, regardless of when now actually is.
>>
>>4005718
I could see Reynault being the kind of person Atlas would send Jack after if he was still kicking by the time the game takes place and hadn't gotten out of dodge by then.
"That fox has been doin' Ryan's dirty work since before things fell apart. Would you kindly head to his security office and kill the little bastard?", something like that.
>>
>>4005720
>I feel like Reynault would probably be a lot smarter about things than Ryan or Fontaine were
Hence the mention of Sinclair. He's not stupid, and he's not blinded by ideals. He'd probably keep his head down once things got really bad. And I'm sure he'd hedge his bets against either parties winning or losing.

>Rapture kinda sucks.
Yeah, but its the kinda suck he thrives in. Like a super hot acidic hot spring for extremophile bacteria.

King is the one that forces you to fight. Queen is about acts.

I feel like Ayn Rand writing about the virtue of selfishness, but instead its the virtue of savescumming. As far as I'm concerned, savescumming is a good thing that makes games more fun.
>>
>>4005725
Then you get to the office, and its just a tape recorder strapped to a corpse (your call whether its him or not) that's been playing messages in response to your actions, and its last words activate a bomb that blows up the whole level, and you have to escape while the whole place comes down around you.
>>
>>4005734
Well, monsters would have to behave a bit differently in order for it to be his corpse.
I feel like I don't necessarily see him making it out of Rapture alive past a certain point, but I'm not sure what I'd say would do him in.
That bomb idea seems about right though, yeah.

I still think Bioshock would've had a better story if Atlas had been a legit revolutionary, I will hold that stance to my death.

Going AFK for a bit.
>>
>>4005738
>Well, monsters would have to behave a bit differently in order for it to be his corpse
I was figuring that, since this is like Bioshock AU Reynault.

>I feel like I don't necessarily see him making it out of Rapture alive
I could see him making it pretty far. If he keeps his head down he might be able to slip out during the chaos after Ryan's death. If not, I could see him getting as far as 2. Deception is the thing that gets you the furthest in Rapture, being able to play people off of each other.

>Past a certain point
What point would that be?

>Spoiler
I think it would have been better if the gap between the reveal and the final boss were shorter. Thematically and philosophically, all that stuff is really good, but its climax is the reveal, and it doesn't really have much to say after that.

Eh, maybe, I just feel like someone would eventually try and take him out of the picture after they'd had enough of him, like maybe Fontaine would try and kill him after taking control of the city, or have Jack do it before he does his heel turn like I said earlier.
>I think it would have been better if the gap between the reveal and the final boss were shorter. Thematically and philosophically, all that stuff is really good, but its climax is the reveal, and it doesn't really have much to say after that.
Eh, I just feel like having Atlas be someone actually trying to make things better by getting rid of Ryan, albeit while doing some not great things of his own, would've been a lot more interesting than just having him turn out to be a mustache-twirling villain with a pretty plainly malicious and self-serving end goal.
I know that's part of the point, but it's a boring point to make politically, and it just makes the game's story a lot flatter even aside from the political commentary.

Ah, fuck.
I can't be bothered to try against the Knight on that save anymore, I'm throwing in the towel.
I beat it once in the modified save with no mantle and normal items, but I can't see myself doing it with no revives and worse weapons in the time I have left, I'm tired.
At least I beat it once, legitimately.

Going back through chapter 4 with my Knight beaten save file, mostly fine with it now.
I saw this bit of text, and it felt interesting to me.
I know a lot of people here give Toriel shit for things, especially around her and Asgore and whatnot, and some of that is definitely justified, but I can't help but kinda appreciate that she's still lighting a candle for him at the church, even after everything that's happened.
It's not a lot, but it's something.

>>
>>4005789
I don't think those items are really going to be useful past a certain point, unless the game requires that you have every unique item later on for some stupid reason.
I'd say merging them is probably fine, but do what you think it right.

Is it weird that the Holiday family is all about Christmas despite existing in a world where Christianity almost certainly isn't a thing?
It's not even like you can completely separate them from Christian concepts either, the shelter code is all but outright stated to be 1225, and the code is on the inside of Dess's guitar, so 1225 is just 12 25, December 25th, Christmas day.
That seems weird to me.

Was it just me or the Archives was a big missed opportunity in DRY?

I remember that one writeranon bringing up the idea of animal mannerisms in animalistic monsters, namely with foxes and biting, and I've been thinking of something slightly similar with Reynault, but not as sexual.
I mean, yes, foxes bite, he's a fox, I imagine he'd bite during sex and such, but I also imagine he might just bite whenever.
I've seen a lot of videos of foxes just biting people's hands gently seemingly at random, so I've been imagining that if I were to so much as vaguely move my hand in Reynault's direction that I would have less than one second before his fucking beartrap of a maw closed around my fingers. Not like, maliciously, and probably not even with a ton of force, but I imagine little bites (as little as his massive mouth is capable of making anyway) would be something I'd have to get used to when living with him.
Not that I would mind too terribly much, of course.
He can bite me any time.

>but it's a boring point to make politically,
The story is about Ryan and objectivism, including a separate competing ideology to compare against was outside of the scope of the game. Fontaine is in essence an example of why Ryan's objectivism will never work. He exists to stress and break the system and the man who built it. Which is why I say focusing on him in the latter third was a mistake. He wouldn't have been a "mustache twirling villain" if they hadn't put the spotlight on him, and shown just how little character he actually had.

As big of a leftist lolcow as Toby has been gradually turning into for quite some time, I'm still sticking to an opinion I've voiced on a /v/ thread some time ago.
None of the devs here, no matter how "based" they're claimed to be, could ever write something like Snowgrave Noelle.
Fully expecting him to ruin her later on, though.
>>
>>4005886
>I agree, I just don't know if they'd succeed.
Eh, guess it depends on who it is that's trying to whack him. I love Reynault to bits, but I just can't see him getting out of certain things alive. He's not infallible, and not a whole lot of people actually made it out of Rapture alive in general while the place was going to shit.
>The story is about Ryan and objectivism, including a separate competing ideology to compare against was outside of the scope of the game.
Well, the game stops being about much of anything once Ryan's dead, which is where part of my complaint comes from. I agree with the criticism of objectivism that Fontaine exists to demonstrate, I just think it's a very uninteresting thing to do with the story to have him be a pretty straightforwardly bad guy with no real nuance to his own story.

>>
>>4006087
I'm finding toby's "peerless and unmatchable execution" is really not doing anything for me this time around, so if there's an idea in this chapter that someone was planning on using, I'd kind of like to see it done again more good-er.
>>
>>4006092
Oldentale. Literally the two biggest moments in the game. He did them, beat for beat. Even the mechanics are the same.
>>
>>4006095
Fuck, seriously?
You're giving up?
Come on, you can't just give up like that, there must be something you can do, somehow.
>>
>>4006094
The ideas I had are not the things he fucked up. They're the mechanics and music associated with certain themes. And that's on top of all the minor shit I had planned that he just did.
>>
>>4006097
I don't know what I'm gonna do. I wanna keep going, I wasn't lying when I said making Oldentale was my reason for living, but just what is there now? There's nothing left.
>>
>>4006098
well, there's not a single mechanic I've seen unless I'm missing something, that he did in any great way. I'd really rethink your mindset honestly because this is the first chapter that I've considered dropping midway from just, not feeling it.
>>4006100
nta, but the story and characters in oldentale are something I still really want to see and experience.
>>
>>4006090
I guess its nice if you never really wanted to do anything new or interesting for the series. I try to do anything new and he just swallows me up. Overshadows me in every way. Does it all first.

And I wasn't lying when I said before that Oldentale was one of the only things I was looking forward to seeing for a while.
I haven't gotten to chapter 5 just yet, so I can't offer any detailed condolences or reassurances based on anything in particular, but I know for a fact I still wanna see your ideas done your way, and I don't give half a damn if they've been done before.
Please, if you can manage it, keep going.
For as much as we tend to get into fights on here, the idea of you cancelling Oldentale genuinely made me sick to my stomach just now.
Please, please, press forward.
>>
>>4006103
This, and honestly (mechanics spoilers) The platforming thing he did is significantly duller than my experience with Naranja, so I have faith that whatever you have in mind, you can put your heart into it and it will still shine.
>>
>>4006101
>well, there's not a single mechanic I've seen unless I'm missing something
He did it the way I would've done it. The mechanic he did. That fight wasn't even just that. I don't even know if I should bother keeping my plans secret anymore, everyone's seen them now. My two favorite boss fights, down the drain. And of course the rythm game I had planned got done in chapter 3. All he needs to add is a bullet time mechanic and I will have literally nothing. No new mechanics, no new ideas, no original spin. Just existing ideas reshuffled with lower production value, like any other low effort fanfiction.
>>
>>4006087
>That's it, I'm ruined. Everything I had planned *EVERYTHING*. He did it all exactly how I planned to do it.
Literally how? This chapter answered nothing and barely progressed the plot. Pretty much just more revving up, backloading all the reveals just like UT.
Unless you mean WR, but what could you have possibly taken from it?
>>
>>4006095
You know, honestly, I was under the impression that none of the developers would be so brazenly posting spoilers in the fangame thread, specifically.
I was actually going to specifically give you the benefit of the doubt after getting annoyed when I got back that someone was doing it in this thread.

>>
>>4006103
>just do it anyway anon, why care if people will call it derivative
Because I wanted it to be new, to be unique, different. I wanted to surprise people. I don't have that anymore. Those were the two moments that lived in my head as the two pinnacles of the game. The two parts I wanted to make more than any of the rest. Precisely because it was new and special.

>what matters is your delivery/execution even if toby did it "beat for beat" he still isn't you
And what I'm telling you is that's exactly how I would've done it. Exactly the same, even in execution.

The moment is lost, that one thing I wanted more than anything else, the player's reaction to those two things. Its gone forever now.
>>
>>4006111
>And what I'm telling you is that's exactly how I would've done it.
nta but you simply can not know that until you are actually designing this. Having written stories, having run projects, and lots of other "in progress" types of things, you really don't know until you get there.

I haven't even seen the weird route. And I don't want to see it.

Its the final boss. He did the two biggest gimmicks I had planned for the game in one fight. Its the new mechanic for that fight and the music gimmick. That was my grand finale and my favorite segment of my game. Not a day went by that I didn't think about those two scenes, and its ruined now. No more shock, no more awe, just "oh, its this again, whatever

I want to see your ideas the way you want them to be seen, and I don't care if you weren't the first, it's still your idea, and I still want to see it.
I understand some of the pain, to a lesser extent. Being beaten to the punch on something sucks, but that doesn't mean you can't still hit hard.
Your writing, characters, ideas, are some of the best I've seen around here, and even in general if I'm honest. I can't express how sad I'd be if I knew I'd never get to see them properly.
You should do what you think is right, but if you end up calling it quits here, I don't think I'd ever get over that.

I can't just pick. Those are what excites, what I've always wanted to get reactions from.

>>
>>4006129
Its the main attraction to a reader. When I write I have to have something to write towards. The characters, them as people, are the path to those moments. Even if I know that the characters make the story, I still need the moments to make myself able to make the characters. And the characters and their journey only exist once they've been written.

>Its the main attraction to a reader.

I think the highlights can still shine even if they've been done before.
I remain skeptical of how similar the new chapter really is to your ideas, but I guess I'll just have to see. I wanna try and get through it as soon as I finish replaying chapter 4, so hopefully I'll be able to respond to your post tonight, offer whatever thoughts I can.

For now, I just hope you feel better soon, anon.

Yeah, *playing* I'm not playing. I'm writing, coding, drawing. Pouring my blood sweat and tears into something despite my dysfunctional brain making every inch of it feel like pulling teeth. And the only reason I can do that, the single lynchpin holding my creative process together, is that light at the end of the tunnel. The thing I'm working towards. Those few special moments and the thought of how they'd look once they're finished. The desire to make other people see them.

All the "best parts" to you the player don't exist until I've written them. They're all ethereal, without weight. I can't get any feeling from them at all until they're written. I and I can't write at all without some feeling to motivate me.
>>
>>4006108
He didn't even spoil anything, what?
>>
>>4006136
Be skeptical all you want. These things are exactly how I envisioned them. I know what I wrote better than anyone else (especially on account of never sharing it because of how important it being a surprise was) and that's it.
>>
>>4006146
>Yeah, *playing* I'm not playing. I'm writing, coding, drawing.
correct, and the end result is the experience which is tied together by the writing more than anything else in this franchise.
>Pouring my blood sweat and tears into something despite my dysfunctional brain making every inch of it feel like pulling teeth.
yes you are doing that to yourself right now.
>the single lynchpin holding my creative process together, is that light at the end of the tunnel. The thing I'm working towards. Those few special moments and the thought of how they'd look once they're finished. The desire to make other people see them.
you focus in one breath on how the audience will feel, and in the next at how they can only feel that because of the imagined delivery of 2 mechanics in your head.

People play undertale for the story more than any mechanic it has to present, and it would be the same for oldentale.
>>
>>4006149
There can be different meanings to things, even when they look the same.
I don't have much else to say right now, I'm going to buckle down and play the new chapter, and read your rentry file first thing after.

I'm really sorry things turned out this way, but I meant what I said.
I want to see your ideas brought to life, even if you think they've been done before.
>>
>>4006151
>and the end result is the experience which is tied together by the writing more than anything else in this franchise.
And that doesn't exist until its done. I need some kind of motivation to be able to write it, and these moments are the motivation. This is the only way I can write, with a goal to write towards.

>yes you are doing that to yourself right now.
Oh fuck you. Stop twisting my words around for gotchas. You don't know how fucking hard it is to drive myself to do anything. I struggle to make myself brush my teeth despite hating the feeling and literally having nothing better to do. I can't do anything without some goal in mind that makes it feel worth it.

>People play undertale for the story more than any mechanic it has to present,
The mechanics are part of the story. They are inseparable. And that mechanic was key to this story beat. Its what made *me* able to write towards it in the first place.
>>
>>4006154
>Oh fuck you. Stop twisting my words around for gotchas
I'm not twisting your words around. I'm just saying that you're making this experience like pulling your own teeth (you're making this experience worse on yourself than it should be)
>The mechanics are part of the story. They are inseparable.
Then the mechanics only mean something because of the story tied to it, and even if it was "exactly the same" oldentale is not the same story as deltarune.
>This is the only way I can write, with a goal to write towards.
you've made it sound like a big part of the motivation for reaching the moment, is the audience reaction and reception.
so you don't have to shift your perspective on this at all. The audience reaction will still be there, heightened by your own writing.


After all, you intended oldentale to be a story before you decided to make it a game at peoples suggestion. So think about it, what was your motivation at that time, wasn't it to get the story you had in your head out into the world and for people to experience it?
>>
>>4006155
>. I'm just saying that you're making this experience like pulling your own teeth (you're making this experience worse on yourself than it should be)
You're twisting my words because I'm not talking about this experience. The teeth pulling is writing, it all but actively hurts to write prose, to draw, to program. I want to make something, the process is something I suffer through to get there. I'm not "making it this way" I can't fucking help how hard it is to do anything. And coming with some motivation, something to get to is the only way I've found to accomplish anything. Every other way I have tried and has failed.

>Then the mechanics only mean something because of the story tied to it,
Its the moment. I write towards the moment. Without that and the idea of it would dazzle people like it dazzled me to motivate me, I have no drive, nothing to animate me. I can't move without that. I've tried for years.

>what was your motivation at that time,
Back then, it was just to create a story and get reactions out of anons in the thread. That idea aged and died, and had it not been for me discovering this game, something for once in my life I actually could drive myself forward to do, I would never have had the idea of Oldentale as it is now. It grew into a different beast entirely. The old story, the one without a name that was nothing more than me discussing ideas died and Oldentale grew from its corpse. That original motivation is gone and has long since been replaced by something more.
>>
>>4006160
Do it anyway and just post Author's Notes somewhere with your original thought processes and how they might've differed from Toby's.
Remember that you're making this game for us here on 4chan, not for anyone else. The rest of UTDR fans consider all of us evil nazi chuds, even though this general's way closer to being centrist than rightist.
>>
>>4006160
>You're twisting my words because I'm not talking about this experience
I know you're not talking about this experience, I'm trying to draw a comparison but it's coming across as twisting words maliciuosly. So I'm going to stop.

I don't know what more to say to you. my experience with this chapter has been extremely dull, but I imagine anything that has taken place in it, instead happening with even the hints of characters you've given us, I find it more interesting
you write towards that moment, and the moment is genuinely nothing without the heart behind it, and you've got a lot of heart in what you make and do. Autistic as all hell but well, that doesn't get rid of that heart in the slightest.

I want to see the journey of a monster with a human soul, I want to see the dynamic of a monster with his own kind turned against him for their own reasons, the feelings that they must have with the human war on their doorstep. Moments that would only carry meaning to me because of the journey that we could go through with Racter.

you found a different motivation once, so I hope you are able to find another motivation somehow.
>>
>>4006164
>Remember that you're making this game for us here on 4chan, not for anyone else
No I'm not. I've told you too much to be making it for you anymore. I'm making it with you. The person I'm making it for was the random normie, someone like Vinesauce Joel (only not famous or important obviously. Just a normal person, uninitiated in either side of the fandom. Only knowing the games. That was my dream. Of course I'd still like you guys to play it, but that doesn't get me out of bed in the morning.
>>
>>4006165
Thanks anon. Sorry if I'm being an ass. I just feel miserable right now. I've been on the verge of tears for over an hour now, and I think maybe the only thing that will make me feel any better is putting mental distance between myself and that knee capping Toby gave me. Its helpful being able to talk with you anons, even if the words themselves don't do all that much to that feeling.

NTA, but I think the average UTDR fan will probably still be able to get something out of your work, even if it ends up feeling derivative to you.
Not everyone is quite as "fixated" on UTDR as we are, within the broader community or internet at large, so not everyone's gonna make certain comparisons, even if they might seem obvious.

Also, even if you consider us an "extended dev team", as I've heard it called numerous times before, you should remember that some of the greatest games were made for the people who were making them, and ended up appealing to others in the process.
Deus Ex was designed the way it was because that's what Warren Spector wanted to see and play, and it ended up being considered one of the greatest games of all time.
>>
>>4006169
well, this may sound pathetic of me but I'm here to shitpost with you Anon. I'm sorry if I was being too adamant about trying to reason through it, but it's just who I am as a person, all I know how to do when things get bad.

If nothing else, if there's even 1 anon in these threads (and of course there's more than that) looking forward to oldentale, then I'm certain there would be other people who's lives would be just that much better if they got to experience your thoughts feelings and dreams.
>>
>>4006172
Thanks. I think reason just makes these sorts of things worse. I've often heard the adage "facts don't care about your feelings" but I think the less known rebuttal of "feelings don't care about your facts" is just as true. Especially for writing, which is basically just the art of corralling raw emotion into a structured and organized package that's fit for consumption.

Eariler I practically wanted to scream "stop making me dig myself deeper just to prove I'm in a hole". I didn't post that, because it was very obviously just an argument against myself, but that's how I truly felt arguing back there. Like I was being forced to dig the hole deeper just to prove I was in it.
>>
>>4006174
well, when faced with someone saying their only reason for living has been destroyed, how can I do anything but all I know how to do?

but I get you, you're right. I think reasoning things through can help sometimes, but maybe not when it's eating you up quite like this.
>>
>>4006171
>Not everyone is quite as "fixated" on UTDR as we are, within the broader community or internet at large, so not everyone's gonna make certain comparisons, even if they might seem obvious.
I know, its just that dream of wowing people with something new wnd different in an otherwise familiar series has kinda been dashed against the rocks.

>Deus Ex
I wouldn't use spoiler text for that, since its not a spoiler for anything and people actually need to use spoiler text for its intended purpose right now.

Anyways DX is a very gameplay focused game, and there's still no way they didn't think of the players when making it. And they were getting paid, I'm doing this for free. So I think its understandable for my motivations to be different from theirs.
>>
>>4006175
I'm not gonna kill myself. Even if I lost my reason to live, I'd still have reasons to not die. I'd just be miserable while living, since those are all obligations that I don't actually enjoy, I just can't (morallly speaking) not do them. I've been like that before, living solely because I have to, and it was miserable, but I did do it.
>>
>>4006179
well then I just hope someway somehow you feel even a little better, and selfishly I hope that it leads to you not dropping your project.
>>
>>4006183
Right now I'm contemplating whether I should finish chapter 5 or not, and whether or not that would make me feel any better. You know, give me some closure and rip the bandaid off for any more things Toby did before I could. Hell, I'm even unsure if I'd want to watch the reat of it.

If I did play it I'd just cheat in a million hp so I can leisurely walk through the final boss and see the rest of what there is to see.
>>
>>4006186
Also I've forgotten how to cheat in health. Does anyone remember?
>>
>>4006176
>I know, its just that dream of wowing people with something new wnd different in an otherwise familiar series has kinda been dashed against the rocks.
Maybe, but I still think there's hope for your ideas to have their intended impact.
After all, Oldentale's story is presumably pretty different from Deltarune's overall, so even if certain moments are similar, what those moments actually mean in the contexts of their respective stories can still be completely different and have their own impacts.
>So I think its understandable for my motivations to be different from theirs.
Fair, but I think the general idea may still apply.

I think the other anon(s) said a lot of what I was thinking already, so I don't wanna copy their homework on that, but I share the sentiment.
I like hearing your ideas for your game and story, I like your characters, I like your writing, and I like talking about your ideas when you're willing, even if that sometimes leads to more arguments than is probably ideal.
You, your work, they're both cared about, you give life to these threads, and I can't thank you enough for that.

Take care of yourself, anon.

>>4006188
Oh, there's a save editor linked to earlier in the thread, you can use that.
The "Tenna editor" or something.

Sorry to kick you down even deeper Oldentale anon, but very few authors of cultural works ever succeed and attain either upward success (the richest/most famous people take notice and like your work) or sideward success (same but large masses of commons folks instead). You need a perfect combination of coming at the right time (few or ideally none direct rivals you'd need to compete with), appealing to particular tastes of either many or correct people, and having a successful marketing campaign; let alone having an """objectively""" high quality product to pitch. I'm not saying you had 0% chance of achieving your goal, but a wise man would've bet against it.
I agree with a sentiment that an artist should create for himself first, for his family/friends second and for eveyone else third.

Hugbox dev environment is how we've just gotten a turd of a Deltarune chapter - a bunch of radical leftists reaffirming each other how awesome their ideas are.
If you can't approach the subject of developing something so high up in the pyramid of human needs as a free fangame with rationality, you probably have bigger problems.

Wow, even the secret boss is the same as mine. Like same premise. I guess I've got Toby brain, what the hell? My heart was pounding out if my chest when I saw the video, but after a certain point I just started laughing. I feel a bit better. Guess Reynault has the right idea. When you're well and truly fucked, there's nothing else to do but to laugh.

Also (ch 5 spoiler ) and there's the damn music again. Its even a pink pop idol singing it
>>
>>4006201
Writing a slightly odd chapter is not "radical leftism", that would be storming the capital and killing the head of state, like the Bolsheviks.
Nothing you say matters.

Really starting to see what you meant when you said you based him on yourself.

Familiar, to you?
Just me?
>>
>>4006189
>Oldentale's story is presumably pretty different from Deltarune's overall
I'm kinda worried about the Kris and Racter stuff, especially since the track record I seem to have and the thematic undertones of the secret boss. In chapter 5. I have a boss that's extremely similar in premise and serves the same role thematically. like those moments actually are different in details, but the meaning is the same.

>so I don't wanna copy their homework on that,
Afraid of being derivative? Practice what you preach anon.
>>
>>4006202
>Wow, even the secret boss is the same as mine
anon, with spoilers for for the pink key door in case there's another secret fight I'm not aware of

if you intended to do it like that, then if anything else, let toby's absolute failure to make that fight enjoyable be a lesson. I kind of want to give a write up on exactly why that fight is fucking awful even from the perspective of enjoying hard fights, but holy shit I fucking dislike it.
>>
>>4006192
I never wanted wide appeal. All I ever wanted was just a single person like I described to play it and go "woah". I think one person from outside of here is attainable. I'd really like to see some literally who YouTuber (he could have 0 subs and 2 views, it wouldn't matter to me) play it and be impressed by those scenes and my life would be complete.
>>
>>4006209
>those moments actually are different in details, but the meaning is the same.
Well, I guess I can't really speak on that just yet, but I think Kris and Racter are pretty decently different from each other from what I know so far.
>Afraid of being derivative? Practice what you preach anon.
You know, I was gonna make a joke about that when I was writing that, but I decided against it since I didn't know if that was appropriate yet.
But, you made it instead of me.
Is that better?

Its fine, what he said wasn't really relevant anyways. I don't care about fame. Just getting that reaction out of one person would satisfy me. And just the possibility of it happening is motivation enough to do the work.

>Just getting that reaction out of one person would satisfy me. And just the possibility of it happening is motivation enough to do the work.
Hm.
Well, if it's any consolation, I'll probably react to your game the way you want me to.
I unironically enjoy Project Lumoria, so you don't have to worry about me not liking something for perceived derivative-ness, I judge things on their own merits most of the time.
>>
>>4006212
I see, a communication problem between us. That goal is pretty trivial - you'd need to be extremely unlucky to get literally zero recognition outside here. Even I, who made a niche gamemod for a niche game posted to a niche half-dead forum got this kind of recognition.
But that just reinforces my advice: do it for sake of doing it / for yourself and for us. Everything else will come naturally, or perhaps it won't - no use worrying because it's usually out of small creators' control.
>>
>>4006207

Alright, I finished the chapter 5, I'm Naranja anon in case anyone is wondering.
Honestly, I didn't enjoy this chapter as much as I thought, it was ok, but that's not a good note when I liked every other chapter, this one felt too long. I had prepared myself for the worst and yet Toby still managed to grab some of my ideas in a way I wasn't
I don't think I'm grabbing anything from the orange flower, she couldn't be more diffent than Val

>>4005968
>>4006105
Duller? When I played it my first thought was "Ah fuck, Toby did my thing but better" I won't change anything I had planned for the platforming sections but he did use multiple gimmicks I had planned, and I didn't many plans, at least Naranja still has its own platforming mechanics that make the whole thing not as similar, if I can release the project less than a year (LMAO) most people won't think I'm copying Toby's homerork

Also, sorry to heard about what you had to go through Oldentale anon, I didn't think this chapter would hit you that badly, I hope this doesn't affect the project too much, if it does at all, I sill trust your game will be very unique by itself.
>>
>>4006213
>Really starting to see what you meant when you said you based him on yourself.
I thought that about a lot of stuff too, but I was wrong for all of those. Racter started as a different spin on the player Kris dynamic. If Toby keeps doing all my "different spins" then he may very well do that one too.

>Is that better.
It felt good to give a smarmy reply. So its better for me.
>>
>>4006225
when I'm done with playing the game I'll get on it yeah.
I know it's foolish to be posting here when I can get spoiled but, despite how much I said that I plan on going with the flow of whatever toby makes in previous threads
It's just doing things for me the way it "should".

and that fight itself just completely fucking, shit I'm angry thinking about that fight.

I'm angry thinking about a lot of things in the chapter that will get praised uncontrollable that just failed to really do their thing.

HAH not a chance. There is exactly one room where the platforming is done decently and it still just felt "eh ok whatever."

Hm, I don't know.
Toby already had the idea of laughing when everything sucks back in the original UT, but I don't think I've ever seen the idea executed like you did with Reynault.
>It felt good to give a smarmy reply. So its better for me.
Heh, prick.

>>
>>4006221
>e: do it for sake of doing it / for yourself and for us
That sounds nice, but its not really applicable. The point of putting the pen to the paper is to make it into something other people will see. If I just wanted it for me, then there'd be no point in writing it. I already have my perfect ideal of the story in my head. Art is the artist speaking to the viewer and video games are a conversation between the developer and a player. A conversation with only yourself is pointless.

Perhaps the crux lies in the fact that I'm a "gameplay >>> story" fag (mostly, UT/DR are a very rare exception). If the gameplay is complex enough to be replayable, that's your own long-term entertainment you've just created for yourself.

Hell, you know better than anyone else here just how bad the new chapter fucked me. I think you're the only person I told about that stuff.

no, your platforming is way better. Toby's is nasty and floaty. The only thing he did better was not hurt the player for falling in pits. But even then getting sent all the way back to the beginning is still bullshit.

Also about the other spoiler I actually really liked orange, and spent a lot of time thinking about how he would interact with Val. Of course they're very different characters and you shouldn't change Val for that

I disagree it made me just want more naranja.

Have you ever played a game where the content isn't like, BAD, or offensively unfun, but it just feels like it goes on and on and it's not making the game any more fun?
that was DR's version of it. It takes a lot for a game to put me in that mindset, it's not quite padding because it WAS the gameplay, but it just felt like I wanted it to end asap
>>

>>4006229
>It's just doing things for me the way it "should".
Up until Toby dropped a JDAM on Oldentale's exact location with a two year lead, I was 50/50 loving and hating it. I don't think there was a single meh part of it for me. Just the absolute worst garbage ever put to screen followed by the greatest thing I've ever seen, then of course followed by more garbage. I went from "its so over" to "we're so back" so many times I lost count. Now I'm just done, sitting at a "did not finish" not wanting any more.

A lot of it was doing stuff I loved in a really horrible way or doing something I loved with something I hated.

And yeah, it needed to be like an hour shorter. I'll try to keep that in mind while working on my game.

I get what you're saying, but I can't put it into words either, when I first made those sections I was afraid they could be poorly received because they were dull compared to the regular gameplay, or didn't seem like a good fit for Undertale

I don't have to bet on that, this nagging feeling of "it would've been better if Deltarune hadn't spoiled it" is gonna be there always now.
>>
>>4006249
I might be just how the "ACTs" were converted into a unique game mechanic for the section, that sort of conversion or consistency between game mechanics is what I feel was lacking in Naranja

I care a lot about the story. And with Undertale almost entirely about the story. I don't even like bullets hells or jrpgs, so I imagine you can figure why I'm so invested in my story beats landing properly.

BIG FLUFFY $$$$ING TAIL

as for oldentale anon, dont be afraid to be derivative. all you need is proper setup.
flowery for example, he had lyrics and a soul mode because he's a showboat fraud that fakes all his stats and gimmicks. if the fight is truly a 1:1, you could get away with it by setting it up as a "oh shit this guy isnt just a fraud"

I mean, yeah, I don't think the protagonist being the way Racter is has really been done before, in terms of who Racter actually is. Kris isn't a coward, and the way the story seems to have been set up actually makes them seem like an antagonist technically speaking, so Racter's different on both fronts, with the only similarity being that he's not in control.
Similar concept, very different direction.
>I don't have to bet on that, this nagging feeling of "it would've been better if Deltarune hadn't spoiled it" is gonna be there always now.
Well, I guess I can't help too hard with that.

>spoiler uhh... 3
yeah it does, but in a way I wasn't expecting, toby's needs significantly more.
>spoiler 4

the sections you've made so far have a little bit of "the right element" that makes gameplay fun and not "oh more gameplay that I have to get through" and it's such a weird thing to describe because again, it wasn't BAD in chapter 5 it just, only felt fun like one single time the entire time. I'm gonna put my thoughts together more coherently but i'm doing the end of the chapter right now

>>4006247
yeah I think I can kind of get that, but it always felt like all the moments that were good, were pulled down by some "thing" I can't quite yet put into words yet. I just feel frustrated, like I want to play DRY or yellow or something to wash the taste out of my mouth. I may actually do that soon.

>>4006255
honestly I doubt that anything in chapter 5 would have negatively impacted either dry.

>>4006253
I didn't care for it. Felt clunky and got in the way of mechanics I wish I still had like using items and saves. You take those away and we have a problem. I didn't spend the last four chapters saving up 2000 D$ just to not be able to use it on items.

>is now a bad time to mention that CH5's reveals only helped my plans for DRY2,
Did it make any reveals? I don't remember any. Immediately it may have been hard when I was stumbling out of the bombed out rubble that used to be the highlights Oldentale.

>Spoiler
That isn't really helpful sonce it was those things themselves being unheard of in the series, rather than the context around them I was banking on.

And the reason I was afraid of being derivative is because I tried so hard to not be. I see now that was a fool's errand. I should just ignore Toby entirely, do my own thing, and never ever bank any of my plans on originality.

From now on I'll just assume everything is derivative and write it to be engaging despite that. Or at least attempt to.

>>
>>4006259
>oh more gameplay that I have to get through
Honestly I think this is the cardinal sin of a lot of fangames. They just get exhausting. I think a section/area/chapter should be the kind of thing you can complete in one sitting without needing to call out from work to do it.
>>
>>4006272
Well, I don't blame you for being on edge about it all, it definitely sucks that this happened.
If nothing else, I think I kinda like Racter as a character a bit more than Kris, though I'd say I like the different angles their relationships to the soul are at about equally.

I don't think I have much else to say until I finish the chapter, and read your rentry file, so for now, I just hope you can get some rest and feel a bit better soon.
>>
>>4006259
>some "thing" I can't quite yet put into words yet.
I could write out a 95 thesis on all the things that bothered me, which added up to ruin the experience, and I did. I linked it earlier in the thread. It rode that line of "just about had it with this shit" from beginning to end, until the wildcard of fucking up my fangame showed up and sent it straight to hell.
>>
>>4006270
>spoiler 2
the problem is that the variety is meaningless in how it's actually used. it's not filler like "fluffy nonsense filler to pad time"
it's meat except every bite of the meat tastes like literally nothing. I know, food analogy, but it came to mind. Imagine just biting into a steak, but it's just, endlessly chewing on matter with none of the sensation of juices, flavor, aroma, anything.
good texture, yes, steak cooked a given way has a discernable texture, but the level design toby used tasted like nothing. So I was just chewing through areas that weren't "unpleasant to chew on" but they gave me no actual experience. I tried toying with some of the areas but I felt nothing from it, it went nowhere. my exploration yielded me pink coins sure but I rarely got the sensations that a good platformer, or a game of toby's 'should' give.


In naranja, when I found that semi out of bounds spot in the platforming, even though I knew that nearly every player found it, I felt smart. when I got through the obstacle courses, I felt like I performed well. work is needed to extend the design and not make it go stale over the course of a full game sure, you have work ahead of you, but it felt like when I bit into naranja, there was flavor. It wasn't a perfect meal, and god damnit I'm sorry I'm still using food analogy, but I could still taste what was going on.

>>4006274
fangames do it a lot, but chapter 5 felt worse about that than I could have imagined. Like I know one anon gave Dryanon a hard time about it and I do get it even though I enjoyed dry, but it felt like I was climbing a flat mountain for most of chapter 5. which probably doesn't make any sense at all.

>>4006276

I'm still working on gathering my thoughts about that secret boss but honeslty, there's a lot that I'm trying to digest because it feels like a problem with the whole chapters bullet patterns.

my current ranking for the chapters is probably 2>4>1>3>>5 which I'm sure my placement of 4 is a bit contentious for you, but genuinely I'm having a hard time grasping this?
>>
>>4006269
The only action I shouldn't have done was think that this discussion wouldn't be necessary. Its all on topic and very relevant. Its not really about the chapter itself but instead how badly its fucked my fangame over. And then some other people joined in talking about its affect on their fangames. That would be off topic in the other thread.

Hey, can someone make a post over in the other thread about how to find the secret boss and whatnot for chapter 5, and link it to me?

As far as the flowers

honestly I dislike most of them, and I do not think most of their designs will worm their way into being "the" design for the humans, considering the ones that had humanoid appearance that is.


orange was basically a joke character the whole time and didn't even use pink for the gloves so I don't think people are going to override the human with a rat.

light blue will probably become a popular design in its simplicity.

purple I actually liked, that one will probably catch on since it looks the most like a kid while having a fairly normal design.

Did not like blue, did not like them pairing blue with yellow, and I will actively just disregard it. I think a lot of people will disregard that one, but there's going to be a subset of people who do not disregard it, and do so aggressively.

Yellow had some funny moments, but it's no Clover? Again, hated the blue yellow pairing. going to aggressively disregard it, as I think a good number of people will. It's going to get some art, but I think it's going to be overshadowed by the aggressive pushing of susselle the chapter had.

Greens quasimodo ass was neat, doesn't work as a human design, felt whatever


But genuinely hated every moment the yellow and blue flowers were around each other. I'm doubling down on my "toby can't write romance" 'theory'.


anyways overall I think fan fallen children are safe.

>>4006290
I don't think so honestly, it was just too far from being a human design, and too far from anything anyone was expecting from an orange soul that I think it's going to be disregarded. Besides, there's nothing but Naranja and maybe wildfire if it hasn't died.

I am that anon. I wasn't as shocked about it here, probably because it already happened when I played chapter 4, but that was right after I had played chapter 2 and 3 back to back. Of course I was exhausted. Here I actually had fun in a lot of sections, enough to make me forgive it every time I was just about to to say fuck it, but it just kept doing that, and kept going, and was a miser with save points. It just kept going and kept doing shit . And I can't believe this is making me miss chapter 4.

as far as attacks in this chapter, as well as the pink door boss


It's bad, there's something wrong with it, and it makes me wonder if Toby was struggling to figure out how to increase the difficulty, and went the wrong direction in actually performing that.
In general, I'm noticing that fights are just sending more and more nonsense at you at a given time as the chapters go on, and while there are still unique attacks, the uniqueness is getting blotted out by a tendency towards spammier attacks that just throw bullets at you.
The knight was a golden example for me, including the knights cut attacks, of great moves, because each of the moves has a central idea or core motion behind it, and this even applies to most of the unused attacks I believe. It feels chaotic at time, but the different "obstacles" work in unison to make you move carefully in the same "kind" of ways. This may or may not make sense, but look at muffets fight for instance, the jarring sudden movement of the purple mode doesn't feel bad because all of the obstacles go along with how you might want to move and avoid. you could speed it up and make it more intense and still keep it good, but fundamentally it's congruent, the player gets a good feel for what's going on, and their role in it.

chapter 5 throws that out a lot with attack patterns that feel like they step on each other and give the player mixed signals. Again, this isn't just about difficulty, I like challenge, but there are a lot of fights where I just felt like "why is this happening" because the screen was doing difficulty the screenspam way, which doesn't feel fitting for DR up to this point.

probably need to make this multiple posts

>>4006301
I still think for fangame devs it's not bad because, mechanically I feel like toby fundamentally fucked up

continued

this is at its absolute worst in the secret fight and the final fight, but I think the secret fight sins the most at this.

it follows a philosophy of just flooding the screen with attacks (other than the very early phases), and these are attacks that hit you in multiple different ways. every single attack other than the simple versions, could have its own breakdown on how it went wrong but the simplest way to put it, is that it feels like the game is trying to "get one over " on you rather than that it's trying to challenge you. the bomb attacks ask you to track too many moving pieces at once, while dragging your eyes to not only the 2 obstacles (touching the bombs, as well as avoiding the cross explosions, while having your eyes drawn to the hearts that are being put on the screen.

WHILE ALSO having explosions set off outside of the battle box with little visual indicator that your eyes after focusing on the box that was overwhelmed with 3 kinds of things fighting for your visual attention.

the tunnel is disorienting in a strange way, I 1 shot jevil with his goofy hitboxes and spamton (even if he's not as hard) but something about the visual position of where you were going to end up after a move in the tunnel, made me move into an obstacle I knew was present, again it felt like too many things were demanding mental real estate.

THEN the purple mode where the game is putting the flying cat heads or whatever those were, but ramping up the speed, while adding explosions just outside of the battle box, even though due to the speed of the attack, your attention is very strongly drawn to the center of the box for the vertical purple soul movements, but then you need to jarringly move left to right at slow speed to avoid the top bombs.

Again, it feels like difficulty by just throwing conflicting commands at the player, not by making a well honed attack and putting the player through it.
>>
>>4006304
I think even the common enemies and minibosses have this spam problem, it just isn't as bad because they aren't too hard. I encountered one that was literally undodgeable if you didn't know the exact pattern beforehand.

I was feeling pretty good about the direction Deltarune was taking when Chapter 3+4 released, now I'm actually worried for how the game is going to end
>>
>>4006313
also for the secret fight


having to rebuild up your tp every time was just not satisfying. it felt annoying rather than as a fun challenge.
there are attacks I didn't specifically call out as bad but honestly the secret fight was just terrible from start to finish, and this "fighting for mental real estate" is also part of what the final fight fucked up on, and it DIDN'T HAVE TO because the ideas can work, but it's just, shit I'll make that it's own post.

>>4006316
I 100 percent agree. The patterns feel worse from a design standpoint. Like they were in a rush to make the game feel harder since its the 5th entry, but they ran out of ideas.
Like look at Berdly's attack in chapter 2, that's a really fucking good attack and you can amp it up a bit while keeping the attacks core concept intact. that's a good attack. Chapter 5 on the other hand.

>>4006318
>>4006313
sorry for the walls of text but this is all about the mechanics and game design.

for the final fight, especially for oldentale anon, and if you have a question about my thoughts on a specific mechanic I'm down to address it if I don't already.
it competes for your attention really really hard constantly. All the different ideas it has are in theory good ideas, but none of them are executed very well, because none of them have any room to breathe.

The lyrics? you can't really hear them, and there are 6 other things happening at once so it's hard to focus on them existing. lyrical music playing in a final fight has been done in a few things before but I can't recall off hand, but in this you don't mentally sync up with them very well because you've got a constantly rotating cast of helper enemies, a constantly rotating cast of helper allies, the flowers swap in changing up the mechanics, which is good, but you're constantly getting barraged by new things that don't stick, which can be a good thing, but it doesn't feel like the game is TRYING to disorient you in a cool meta sense, it feels like the game is just flat out disorienting you the good ol fashioned way!

remember the spare meter on your allies? sticks the whole fight, oh I'm doing the blow away move now? oh wait now my move is spinning. It doesn't feel like the game is giving you a fantastic tour through all the cool mechanics (which a lot of games pull off well), it feels like the game is in a hurry to do everything it wants to do at once.
Please remember that flowery has an arc that we waited too long to take seriously!
Please remember that everyone on the enemy team is friends!
oh also ralsei is going through stress over all thi- oh wait he's off the team suddenly

cont

the orange soul is a bust. conceptually cool, visually there's a lot, but few attacks come across satisfying. the one where you jump over the knives? ramps up to be too fast too quick after never having had a mechanic like this before. it's like they wanted to chip damage you in the fight, but couldn't think of any way but to force it. you can do it successfully of course, but it's just 0-100 right away.

then there's the pillar breaking, it feels like you need to charge up all the way because why wouldn't you, but it turns out that what actually extends your dash is going through the breakable pillars? I suppose that's fair but it's out of nowhere, and then the game layers other attacks on top of it while chasing you with the bramble on the left side of the screen, again, the game just feels like it's relying on too many things at once to force the challenge to an acceptable level, by measuring it with a dipstick "hmm yes, the player is taking this much damage per round on average, the difficulty is good."

I was looking forward to potentially a knight refight, some kind of real balls to the wall challenge, instead i always felt like the game was pushing me one step further than it itself was ready to push me.

Toby's done some good stuff before, or of course we wouldn't be here, but there are just fundamental "feel bad" moments in every single attack in the final fight.

I probably skimmed past a lot of moments that are of big issue but man, how the fuck did this happen. A single playtest would have told anyone this shit is off. Is toby surrounded by testers who are too afraid to point out issues?

>>4006337
you may find yourself able to narrow in on the specific elements of the fight more while watching it because you're not having to focus on actually getting through it but
seriously it's horrendous how toby did it. I GENUINELY feel like whatever idea you had planned, you could take how much toby fucked it up and use this as a learning experience.

I was full on "I'm sure chapter 5 is going to be great" but I'm having trouble letting myself enjoy the things I did like because "what the fuck was all this other shit toby?"

>>4006329
Man, I had all these things (or at least the ones that he did) planned for different fights, not all crammed together into the same one. I don't think I'd want to put two gimmicks in the same fight. Unless maybe it was a fake out gimmick that got replaced with a much cooler one.

also one more thing for Naranja Anon, I'm pretty much done with my walls of text but
every fight in the platforming mode felt meaningless. I realized at a certain point I could just, stop paying attention to where I was going, to where attacks were flying, and brute force nearly everything, and it feels bad. when yellow is tied up? just fucking jumped around swinging wildly hardly paying attention. when all the flowers are teaming up? more of a joke than when they were by themselves.
I'm seeing some people say they loved it but man, I guess some people love games that fucking play themselves. didn't think toby was into that shit. I'M THE ANGRIEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED.

I'm reeling, nothing toby has done before is this level of feature vomit! He's done overdone huds and stuff as a joke like the dating hud of course, but he's always kept a sense of simplicity that made things work!

I did overtime and used some time off to play this game and I feel like I'm only recovering moments of my life by staying up too late exploding here. I still can't completely capture my feelings on this, Why did it go this way?
how did the secret fight end up THAT fucking bad?

the exact kind of things I was hyped for were a bust.

Well that already seems a bit different from what I had planned. For one i was planning on extending dashes by chaining them together with timed button presses. And I wasn't planning on any weird variations involving jumps, just lateral straight line movement

combat itself wouldn't be a terrible idea to add but yeah, just fucking susie blast everything, or swing kris's sword wildly because most things go away in no fucking hits.

the platforming in 5 is extremely basic, and it doesn't ask you to actually become any good at it to progress. the stage design is simplistic and yet winding at the same time. all the enemies are of no consequence, you've got way more than enough health and will always get a chance to heal before the game pushes you to the edge in all of those segments.

platformers are my absolute favorite genre out of all of them, when I saw how plain all of this was in 5, I got this weird feeling of distress "what if naranjanon loses motivation to work on his game because of this fucking sham of a chapter"

sorry I know it's stilly it's just, man I really thought I was going to get something I could enjoy with this chapter, I don't even want to bother looking into all the cool secrets and lore that generally happens following a chapter release.
>>
>>4006349
I thought that was pretty jarring since the Orange flower treats the others as if they were siblings
>>
>>4006348
your idea would probably make the player feel like they have more control which is a good thing.

you could pull off what toby mechanically tried to do sure if you telegraphed it and gave the player a certain amount of leading distance to judge actions, but it's fucked, it's all fucked.



the jumps he did feel almost inspired by fucking battle toads? it feels messy and like it didn't have enough time in the polishing chambers. or any time at all.
>>
>>4006349
honestly it's one of the easiest things to disregard ever. I mean I hate it, I hate it a lot. every moment playing the game it was just really awkward and felt like toby romance, which after the intro to the chapter with the nauseating susselle, but ultimately it's so bad, and "yellows' design is so weak that it's easy to just feel like "nice fanfic toby".

I mean really, a gay cowboy with an ugly black ballerina guy?
eat shit tobert fox, this is not your best written moment.-
>>
>>4006338
With me, the things I did enjoy always ran face first into some bullshit. Like Yellow being the funniest thing in the entire game, followed by Blue being beyond parody with how bad it is

Anyways I tend to have trouble following the bullets on screen as is, so I probably won't have insane clusterfuck patterns like that. But of course I should still get actual playtesters that can give criticism and test a lot.

Welp, I'm fuckin' tired.
I think this is the first time I've not wanted to finish a chapter in one sitting, this is new.
I'm worried about what this means for the later chapters, just a bit.
I'll fuckin' finish it later when I can be bothered to actually grab all the shit to fight the secret boss.
I'm gonna go take a shower or whack off or something, never a good feeling when it feels like I need a break from a game like this.

They are one of my favorite genres too, and you know, this is all very strange to me, the idea of people wondering what I would think of this chapter, I did ask myself what the other devs must be thinking at certain points in my playthrough too, so I feel less weird about that now.
>spoiler 4
This chapter didn't give me much of an emotion, it made me laugh at some points but that's it, that might be a worse reaction than outright hating the chapter, I'm not interested in the /v/ threads either. This chapter hasn't changed much my motivation to work on Naranja
>>
>>4006362
It isn't only you, this new chapter feels like it drags even though I did beat it in one sitting
I've seen this complaint in a few places already, but it feels more like a fangame compared to the other chapters (specially since I played a bunch of fangames before release)
I think toby hiring more team members/producer is making him more hands off which makes the game lose the "toby" feel
>>
>>4006359
>Anyways I tend to have trouble following the bullets on screen as is, so I probably won't have insane clusterfuck patterns like that. But of course I should still get actual playtesters that can give criticism and test a lot.
I know you disagree with some ideas in game design, but I mean it seriously when I'm talking about guiding the players eyes or focusing the "kind" of dodging you're making the player do if you want to make something difficult.
There's probably an established phrase for the feeling I'm triyng to capture here, but if you want something difficult at any point when making your game, you can probably appeal to something you'd like by guiding the players eyes intentionally.
this chapter felt fucking sinful in that regard.

I know you have your qualms with DRY, but I think DRY anon does a good job with a lot of his special bosses bullet patterns feeling unique but not just being a cluster fuck. I think you've said before that you don't like the bullet patterns in the regular enemies he does, but things like pennilton or well, just a lot of them, the patterns feel normal, like the game isn't trying to "win" but to put a thematic challenge in front of you.


actually as a long time tabletop dm there's a similar thing, where the goal as a DM is to provide a fun, challenging, but also in some ways realistic experience, but some DMs you can tell they want to "win" despite having literally infinite power. Chapter 5 felt like it wants to win and that's fucking stupid.
>>
>>4006344
I feel like Toby getting a full team and lots of funding was a curse. First he got caught in dev hell for 4 years, and his game lost a bit of its soul in the process. Now that he's got a working dev process its gone to feature creep hell, and the game's just got too much shit (a lot of it very bad) in it.

I guess I'm at least relieved it sucked, even if that sounds like a terrible thing to say. Means its actually feasible for me to not be outdone by it.

>spoiler 2
yeah I don't think it's weird. especially with the pre-launch worries that various people were expressing. I just want this chapter to somehow dispel peoples feelings that "I could never do better than toby" when I think he really swung and missed here
>spoiler 3
I'm really glad to hear that
I laughed in a few places, I genuinely tried to keep my mind open despite not liking the opening, but I found myself indifferent to most of the chapter, and that frustrated me the most because of the emotions that undertale and deltarune previously left me with. To be hit with a feeling of "I'm ready for this to be over" was strangely upsetting for me.
>>
>>4006365
A bit, yeah. This chapter definitely felt like it had a lot more "stuff" than it really needed, while also feeling real eager to remind you of the first chapter, because I guess DR's old enough for chapter 1 to be nostalgic in and of itself by now.
It all feels off now, it's weird. I don't think it's unsalvageable, he hasn't "dropped the apple yet" (I have not finished chapter 5 so I don't know if that will continue to be the case), but this feels bad at least.
>I'm sure my steak analogy earlier was autistic as fuck, but I think whatever I was trying to describe, I'm not alone in.
I think the closest thing I can describe to this is something I thought of when I first quit playing Destiny a few years back, and also when a friend of mine made me play Atlyss some time ago.
The game kinda feels like a chore?
Like, it feels like I'm doing work now that I need to take a break from, rather than being a fun video game I'm playing for my own enjoyment.
Hence me saying that I'm gonna go take a shower or masturbate or something, I feel like I need to wind down from that, when the game itself should be the thing I'm using to wind down from other things.

Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna go do one or both of those things, so I'll reply to any replies to this in like a few hours.
>>
>>4006357
The best description in terms of feel I can give is, and this is a bit of a weird one here, is how you can get the longest possible jump in A Hat In Time. That involves jumping, waiting, double jumping, dashing, sliding, then bounding into another jump at the end of the slide. It feels great and lets you do stuff like sequence break levels you don't have the proper power ups for. I love those kinds of perfectly timed momentum building maneuvers.

I know what you mean because, while I'm not a big speedrunning guy overall (I like time attacks and doing stuff fast but I don't speed run for the sake of speedrunning)
Super metroid is in my top 3 of all time. The sequence breaks you can do with unique techniques involve unique inputs in places that kind of come across as weird to describe. I know you're describing a specific thing but what I'm saying is that, conceptually I thing I get it, or at least it just makes sense to me because of what I'm used to.


I know I was appealing to you earlier in some ways that didn't help but I really genuinely want to see you attempt to put this together, not even in spite of what released today because man, it lacks not just THE sauce but any fucking sauce.
>>
>>4006379
he's not offensively designed but he's not special or anything, and he reminds me of that weird stretched out clover sprite we were joking about like a month ago.

his scenes BEFORE blue showed up were actually funny though, and the nosedive things took when blue showed up was hard for me to process.

I genuinely laughed when yellow walked off and the door said something like "punishments much worse than being buried alive".

it was one of the few moments where the game actually felt like deltarune, if that makes sense.

maybe, my thing with it was that, the gameplay wasn't as bad as like, GENUINELY FUCKING AWFUL games I've played over the years, but it failed so many things in such strategic places that yeah, it's a chore. I can keep playing it, it doesn't hurt like playing the msdos versions of megaman, but I'm not having fun in most cases.

I think what you're saying has some merit and I'll keep it in mind. I've always struggled with seeing bullets in these games, so maybe more intentional direction of tge player's focus is the solution.

If I ever wanted to make a boss a real bastard. Like make him feel like he's trying to get one over on you, and pulling every dirty trick in the book to do it. I will also be sure to remember this. I'd still want it to be manageable though, so I imagine that one may take some work.

ah I see what you mean. I don't mean to put you on some pedestal or anything when I give you praise for nailing certain things. You have things to work on and improve and all that. If when the next thing for naranja drops something doesn't feel quite right I'm not going to think "oh no naranjanon is washed up from his prior greatness!" It's hard to explain the exact feeling, I just look forward to your work for better or worse.

>spoiler 3

shit, that was my exact feeling. I saw that room, and felt like it was probably meaningful as fuck to toby being the items and everything and I just, didn't care.
I'm watching a friend post things as he plays and he's all excited and hyped exactly like we were for earlier parts and I just can't feel any of it. I know I'm not jaded, my sense of whimsy is firmly intact!
>>
>>4006381
I enjoy minmaxing, metagaming, and cheaping my way around things. If I can do a perfect jump to skip getting the grappling hook and get the brewing hat early, then I will. Just like I'll use trip mines to skip areas in hl1, or gaus jump and shimmy down the cliffside to avoid doing the drainage hatch on surface tension. Even cheaping my way around is technically harder, I have more fun that way.

I also actually like playing 3d games with free movement. Shmups are not my genre, which is why I tend to be a lot harsher about difficulty with them.

Plus I'm sure any 3d platformer fan would probably call that game piss easy (outside the dlc at least).

So I felt like throwing some of my theories after chapter 5 out there, and since the janny's apparently throwing a tantrum on the other board (threads move too fast there anyway) I thought I'd post them here.

>In this "doomed timeline" the roaring happens because Susie refuses to sacrifice someone (who I don't know)
>The prophecy describes something that's already happened and everyone in the simulation is doomed to repeat it unless if (you) interfere
>The weird route wasn't supposed to happen and will cause the simulation to break. I have reason to believe that Gaster will only appear in this route
>The Knight is specifically going after the major Undertale characters (Toriel, Asgore, etc.) possibly to recreate Undertale but this one's a little out there
>Kris has an unrequited love for Susie but is unable to speak because (you) control him, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where he must have (you) to complete Deltarune but is doomed to watch Suselle unfold and he can't do anything about it

>so maybe more intentional direction of tge player's focus is the solution.
hopefully that helps some, specific things like
attacks coming from outside of the battle box can work, but I think you could study the way it's done in the secret fight to specifically get a good feel on how not to do it for instance. If nothing else, when you get to that point in development, I'd be glad to test the patterns out if you draw from posters here for your testers.


>If I ever wanted to make a boss a real bastard. Like make him feel like he's trying to get one over on you, and pulling every dirty trick in the book to do it. I will also be sure to remember this. I'd still want it to be manageable though, so I imagine that one may take some work.
when you want to design a character that is in character actually trying to get one over on you, there's a lot of ways you can go about it, everything from them trying but failing to do that (probably not what you're thinking)
telegraphing the fact that they are such a bastard so the player doesn't feel like it's just poorly designed mechanics,
and doing a balance of them fucking with you, and you being able to get one back over on them to make it feel like a fun tug of war between dickheads kind of.

probably tons more ways but you get the idea,

that's a fair point, you'd want to balance it to make sure it doesn't drag on too long (because even if the players get the point, if it just goes on and on and on-)

Yeah, thinking about it now. It felt like the bount arc in Bleach with how it kept leaving things unresolved and re-using fights, and with the whole thing being a retread. Chapter 3 is good filler, like tournament training stuff in DB. Chapter 5 is bad filler, like the bount arc.

I know about it because I've programmed games like that. Of course I knew from old game review shows before that.
>>
>>4006425
fuck, calling it the bount arc feels too harsh, but at the same time, it feels right.

when Ralsei had his fucking meltdown on the stairs, it felt like that was really going somewhere, not buildup for a future chapter but like it was coming to an absolute head, and then susie just "yeah dont worry bout it lets just keep moving alright?" and yeah he flips out again in the fight but it feels like buildup for a future chapter when it felt like it was SUPPOSED to be a moment for that chapter at the same time?

fuck it, I'm calling it the bount chapter.
>>4006428
ah that's fair. but yes, definitely do that.
>>
>>4006426
To be fair, this one kinda makes sense for Oldentale since its the ancient history to Undertale, which parodies all sorts of game tropes and irregularities. Plus its on MS DOS. I'm legally obligated to make a CGA graphics, CPU speed, and a bad PC port joke at some point. I have had the enemy design for this gag scrawled on a notepad next to my bed for almost two years now

if it's required to progress (I'm assuming it is) then it will probably genuinely filter some people from completing that route depending on how long we're talking about here. Conceptually what you're doing could be used for a story beat or a meta beat sure, but if you make it last as long as certain old mmo fights for instance, then you'll have people just never complete the route out of frustration.

I wanna try and beat the secret boss and finish the chapter tonight, mostly so I can make a somewhat timely response to that rentry you made but also so I don't have to fucking play it some more later, but one of things I thought about while playing is that even if your ideas have some overlap with Toby's, at least you almost certainly won't fuck them up like he did.
So, that counts for something.

Depending on what you really care about, it's either only somewhat tainted, or completely unsalvageably fucked.
>>
>>4006446
hmm, I don't think they were actually designed to do that. Sans speaks like that's what he's doing, but the fight is actually designed with a lot of leeway to help you get to the finish line (that entire halfway point of the fight where you can heal up while sans just stands there I believe is an intentional design choice.)
so the question becomes though, do you actually want to filter people? because it's an approach that would likely accomplish that, and if so, how many people? and I think that question changes how long you make the fight. It's not a "good design" for something you hope people finish, to make the fight a grueling hell, and a good example of this is something like absolute virtue in ff11 or the sleeper in everquest that devs designed to not be beaten and there's a whole history to those things, and the incidents in which they were killed.

I think some attempts at AV went on for 12+ hours but I may be undershooting it.
>>
>>4006450
no you're right, it just feels almost dirty to consider.
>>
You know, for how much people were talking about the subject before, I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone talk about Toriel being made a little more justified in chapter 5.
Then again, maybe it's been drowned out by the horrible catastrophe that's been everything else in the entire chapter.
>>
>>4006455
I'd say he's not at all. this is a completely different variety of enshittification. Toby seems to be taking all of this seriously, while andrew was famously not taking it seriously, and turned to spite instead.

Toby does have a few moments that show a bit of spite and combativeness like how he brought the fucking hat up AGAIN , but he seems to genuinely believe in what he's doing, and just absolutely fucking whiffed it.

I'm hearing he did good with the weird route but it's also apparently really short. so I think that lends even more credibility to the thought that he really does care, and is fucking this up the good old fashioned way of losing touch with some of what he was doing before.

people throw hussification around too easily. Hussies downfall was a very specific variety of nightmare, and not the only way to become shitty.
>>
>>4006462
I've only gotten to the beginning of thr dark world but if you mean the toast scene, I'm not surd that's justifying anything.
>>
>>4006462
everything before the darkworld has fallen to the wayside for me. I hated ALMOST everything before the darkworld, but holy shit.

but yeah ok so kris was conveniently not using the hidden key, it still doesn't justify bringing home a guy you just met without easing your kid into the situation, and getting blackout drunk.
also the stuff with kris at the fair was too sad to even make "kris will sit in the chair" memes. Susie's last words to kris at the end of the chapter were genuinely just "toby why are you writing this."

but I expected some of that garbage. the games mechanical issues overshadow that greatly.
I think I posted the day before it came out how I was excited for some good fights.
>>
>>4006462
I dropped it before I finished it on account of how bad it was. But if she is justified I'm sure it was done in the shitty chapter 5 way, so I'm counting that as a mark against the chapter. i would've done so anyways. Asgore doesn't deserve what he gets
>>
>>4006466
Oh, I just mean the fact that she apparently did actually try and call Kris directly (but was seemingly cut off by the dark world on Kris's part) and that she heard from Sans that Kris and Susie were hanging out and therefore wasn't as worried, which would also be true given that the last time you can interact with Sans before entering the first dark world in chapter 4 is when you're hanging out with Susie, so her being at home during chapter 4 isn't as terrible as we all generally thought.
She still got way too drunk and made an ass of herself, but that's about it.
>>
>>4006460
I don't want it to be something that the majority of players can't finish, but I want to make you really hate this guy you're fighting and feel exhausted by the end, but also make it not be hard because of pattern difficulty.
>>
>>4006458
What's tainted, and what's unsalvageable?
>>
>>4006475
Gameplay is tainted, interpersonal character relationships are (potentially) unsalvageable.
>>
>>4006470
That's either something that comes up after the entire dark world segment, or somehow I missed it. I just remember her talking about some joke war thing when pointing out she was too loud and feeling bad about Susie (but not for her own child).
>>
>>4006472
then probably consider just making it something like double or triple the length of a normal big boss fight, you're still risking bogging it down because people have a habit of not "getting" things that actively frustrate them, but some games do make the point to have their frustrating elements and say fuck it to reception.

What about breaking it into multiple smaller fights where the enemy somehow keeps coming back to drag you into a fight (just spitballing ideas before the sleepy takes my brain) so that you can give the players the feeling of "why, wont, this fucking guy die!" without making it actually trigger those senses of "wow I hate playing this part"
>>
>>4006478
Oh, if you select "we were locked out" instead of the noise option, she talks about the spare key by the house and also that she apparently tried to call Kris after her choir practice was cancelled but couldn't get through.
I think she could've stood to get up off her ass and maybe try and actually find Kris after her call didn't get picked up, but we saw a similar thing happen at the end of chapter 1 when she calls Kris, so maybe she's gotten used to assuming that Kris is regularly unavailable when they're hanging out with Susie, which would line up with what she apparently was told by Sans.
So, she's downgraded from super neglectful to slightly less neglectful than that, at least in my book.
>>
>>4006484
Ah, I'm not sure how much I would trust the word of a 'stranger' about my child's whereabouts, even if said stranger and I ars hitting off well. But I guess it is *slightly* better than what we were led to believe.
>>
>>4006468
my [h/c]ope theory for why the story's going the way it is is in the other thread >>4006422

I am ever so-slightly miffed that there are only two images of the foxes from the new chapter on esix.
And also that they're both women.
>>
>>4006501
I think it's a bit of a reach at this point honestly, but I wont begrudge you your hopes and copes.
>>
>>4006464
>Weird route
its good, but even it feels like a downgrade compared to what we had before. Its hamming it up, corny as hell.
>>
>>4006470
Way to kill any emotional impact chapter 4's ending had. Nah, everything's fine actually.
>>
>>4006504
keep in mind that susie has already become a complete slave of the prophecy and fallen to absolute escapism
>CH1 susie would've flipped out at the battle UI explanation, but in CH5 she just says cool (absolutely no rejection to dark world insanity, pure acceptance of everything.)
>susie just lets you equip bows on her, despite still refusing to do so in CH4 (the girl is supposed to equip bows)
>already treats castle town as her true home, outright refuses to go to her actual house (will refuse to close castle town)
>she is incapable of explaining or even rationalizing her interest in noelle, along with those scenes always feeling forced while every single krusie scene plays out naturally (love finds its way to the girl)
>her preparation for a welcome party for noelle rather than just letting her experience it all naturally,
susie is already 'THE GIRL that will never let the dark world go', even if its needed to prevent the roaring.
in comparison to this you also need to consider noelle's WR monolog about how everyone else is on the rails, and how she felt the same way until you made her snowgrave berdly. and then how if you abort there you get the NOTHING HAPPENED, NOTHING CHANGED, A NOELLE IS JUST A NOELLE bits while the aborted WR jingle doesnt play. that is the prophecy trying to force things back on track when given a chance to do so.
>>
>>4006513
Is that really the biggest problem with the new chapter?
>>
Man, even the ending to chapter 5 was bad. Its like Toby was asleep at the wheel and just let his "team" make all the creative decisions. Flowery is the lamest donut steel ever, he has to have been one if the devs' self insert. He even makes the Knight into a lame donut by proxy, with that damage slash. Makes me feel ashamed of writing my characters fighting the knight for fun

Everyone feels out of character here. They had to have changed out the writer.
>>
>>4006518
Did I say it was? Its just another problem to throw on the pile.
>>
>>4006521
Eh, I think it's not much worth considering really.
That sprite with Toriel on the chair is cute though.
>>
>>4006525
Well considering how they just speedran Asgore's character arc with the subtlety of a freight train at the end, and walked back every other bold creative decision of the previous chapter, I think it is.
>>
>>4006539
I meant specifically just the bit with Toriel at the beginning.
Also, I'm digging this song that uses the Megaman X soundfont, so that's a plus.
>>
>>4006516
nta, but I think you forget one more thing, Susie being halfway in the closet during the ending like how Asgore was half in the entrance of his flowershop.
>>
>>4006541
Well I guess in the tradition of bad fangames, its at least got good music.

Okay Oldentale anon, I read your rentry.
Honestly, I stand by what I and many others said earlier, I don't think this is really something to be super concerned about.
Even if Toby did a lot of your ideas first, the general consensus (not just here, people on twitter are saying the new chapter was dubious too) seems to be that a lot of the stuff done here wasn't actually done all that well, so even if it wouldn't be *new* when you do it, that doesn't mean it would be the same either.
Obviously the contexts in which any of these things existed in your game would be different because your story is different from DR's story, and I would certainly hope you don't plan on bloating your game to death by forcing the player to interact with so many different mechanics at the same time, so that would mean both the contexts *and* executions would be different, and at that point, there's very little they actually have in common.
It's like how we disagreed on you seeing similarities between Reynault and Red, which you said was accidental at the time. I still disagree that they actually have too much in common beyond broad, surface-level similarities, and I'd be willing to bet a lot that that's also the case here, regardless of whether or not you'll actually recognize it as such.

And if I'm being frank, even if the ideas actually *are* that similar, I'm not of the belief that the idea being done first shittily by someone else should prevent you from doing it well yourself, just because it's "been done before".
Hey, if anything, this might make things a little easier on you, since now you get to see how it looks when someone fucks it up mechanically, so you can refine your own ideas based on that now that you have a good example of how *not* to do them.

Whatever the case may be, I very sincerely hope this isn't the end of the road for you and for Oldentale. Your work brings life to these threads, and it would be a genuine tragedy to see it die from this.

I know like, right now people are discussing the new chapter, but this sort of reminds me that if you have high enough Attack Defense and HP in Undertale (maybe it's still a thing in Deltarune I'm not sure) compared to the person you're in a fight with you can forcibly spare the opponent.
I'm talking like crazy high values, like to do it to Toriel you have to have like 25k Attack and defense or something like that.
>>
>>4006621
I think? The only monster you can do it to in Undertale proper is Whimsum.
>>
>>4006621
That could be interesting, an enemy that forcibly spares you.
>>
Does anyone else think chapter 5 felt like Deltatraveler? forced Suselle, everyone acting out of character, arcs just abruptly start stop or switch tracks, and Susie forcibly railroading you constantly (no you can't do this, no you can't do that)
>>
>>4006662
funny, there was actually a moment that made me think of deltatraveler when I was trying to go to the right and go back to the lake and susie despite not being on screen was stopping you. though unlike delta traveler, she doesn't let up.



beyond that though, yeah kind of. Everything felt wrong, and not in the intentional "everything is broken fix it now" kind of wrong.
it's the "describe a dog to someone who has never seen one, and ask him to draw a dog" of vidya.
>>
>>4006662
>>4006663
people deny it but >>4006501 >>4006516
its the only way to explain it all without the case being that toby has lost his magic touch.
>>
>>4006664
I deny it in my post just above. It doesn't feel intentional from a writing standpoint. I mean some things are clearly intentional, kris standing alone in front of the castle town dark world entrance is very clearly intentional.
but the vast majority of the writing in the chapter just falls flat, the mechanics are poorly implemented, and the character arcs are rushed. It really just felt like a bad chapter.
>>
>>4006663
Its all the "we're not doing that, dumbass" that really sealed it for me.


>>4006664
Toby hiring a bunch of talentless hacks to make his game for him is the easiest answer. His team is likely nothing but RynoGGs and R&Y devs now.
>>
>>4006666
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think I'm more interested in discussing UT Futility (once the design doc drops) than I'm interested in discussing chapter 5, I haven't read any of the /v/ threads yet

nta but honestly I'm feeling the same. I have been browsing the /v/ threads and venting out my thoughts a bit more but overall if I wasn't just "shitposting" between work, I'd rather be thinking about fangames and fanfics.

there was the slightest fear in me that something about chapter 5 would kill my desire, make me not want to revisit the franchise for how bad it might be, but instead it just makes me want to return to growing dreams of my own with these characters.
>>
>>4006666
>Its all the "we're not doing that, dumbass" that really sealed it for me.
I hate that I agree because, I feel like people were too harsh on susie in chapter 4 at times, but holy shit it's just no fun allowed at every turn. It doesn't feel like any of the past chapters or undertale.

People of the Undertale/Deltarune fangames thread, I have come to make an apology to you all, and, in particular to the DRY anons. I have often said that these types of fangames were nothing more than vapid attempts at achieving the "genius" of Undertale and Deltarune, DRY in particular I used to see as nothing more than uninteresting wish fulfillment. The latest events have made me reconsider this, and after much deep thought about it, I have realized that I had made a mistake in my judgement. I come here to prostrate at your feet and beg for your forgiveness for all my previous comments, I realize I was wrong, and I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me.
>>

>>
>>4006702
silly anon, you should know every single character in UTDR is bi until proven otherwise in the underground royal court of law
>>
>>4006699
I get it, I had a less than charitable view on fangames at first as well. Honestly did for decades. Something just clicked for me one day and I realized that people here were chasing a vision they had, trying to make a feeling of some sort or another come to life. Nothing wrong with criticizing peoples work for what it needs to improve on sure, but everyone has ideas that move them you know?

I hope you yourself have something you like working on or thinking about that inspires you as well.
>>
How much influence did the other team members had in Toby's writing? I ask this here because its what worries me about some fangame outside of here mainly Wildfire, if you know, you know
>>
>>4006707
A lot.
O'Sullivan Law is at play here, the moment you give troons a inch they'll take a mile.
>>
>>4006707
no idea who's on wildfires team but honestly I don't know what to make of chapter 5s team. Zun was apparently rumored to be involved? is that why the bullet patterns are so different, and not in a good way?

I feel like he more actively must have gotten their involvement in the writing. I'm not letting toby off the hook for this at all, but some of the writing just comes across so wildly different than anything before, that I have to ask what mind this all came from, and that's the easiest answer. If he was simply influenced by them but still wrote all of it himself, i think it would have come across differently, been worded differently in a lot of places.

The part where yellow walks off to the different punishment doors? that felt like toby's writing style, but the entire way that blue talks?
people are saying that blue is a parody, but it doesn't come across the way toby has parodied things before, so who wrote it?
>>
>>4006702
Uh oh whoops, he doesn't exist and melody is a grill that's literally BUILT for gizmo.

it's strange. I don't hate gay ships on principle, but yellow and blue set off constant warning signals that made me just want to put the game down.
>>

>melody is a grill

>>4006710
Last time I checked there was a Twitter tranny in the UTW writing team, and I don't meant just a trans person, I mean one of those deformed ogres that can't go five seconds without stating how much they love being such a "butch lesbian"

The out of character moments, retcons like the reason why Susie bullied Kris and the extra amount of swearing made me think that some parts were written by different people

I don't think people are saying that blue was written like a parody on purpose, they are saying that the character is so absurdly out of place that it feels like a parody
>>
>>4006712
>I have some bad news for you anon...
the power of my hopes and dreams is simply too strong, and I think enough people hate these designs that business will continue as usual other than some noisy fucks that want to try and push their way as usual, and the uty fandom has disregarded those enough times already.
>spoilers
ah
feels vindicating. I've been espousing that toby can't write romance and it's not just because it's gay, but that's the kind of talk that gets you unpersoned in some circles.
>>
>>4006713
>spoilers
once again, I am glad that I'm not the only person who felt that was not fitting writing. Just came across really weird.
>>4006715
oh jesus, well I'm now more curious than ever what's up with wildfires radio silence.

and yeah, the framing of things that have happened in the past. I'm not one of those people that was waiting for susie to apologize, but chapter 5 felt like it went out of its way to reframe a lot of stuff in a bad way (to be less bad).

also I've seen posts on /v/ that I think are unironic, claiming that the writing is taking the piss out of "the woke" and stuff like that. I mean we're talking about cope levels that should not be possible.
>>

>>
>>4006720
cmon anon dont insult DRY1 like that.
>>
>>4006718
They got a lot of people from twitter so that was to be expected

Toby might be scared of people seeing his characters in a bad light, which is why he also backpedaled on Toriel at the start of the chapter

Those anons are inhaling a dangerous amount of copium, a bit more and it will be lethal
>>
>>4006723
ah that explains a lot. I was thinking that despite all the accusations of undertale having "tumblr writing" this chapter actually felt like tumblr in places, and of course a lot of them migrated to twitter

which is weird to me because in the anniversary stream he went out of his way to talk about how toriel is a flawed person.

but I guess he didn't mean THAT flawed. Maybe he's becoming overly attached the longer this goes on?


other than learning about the weird route, there's not much of value in the /v/ threads. it's unreal levels of cope for the most part.

>>
>>4006767

>>
>>4006788
The start and a good chunk of the chapter felt like watching Suselle from the chair, and I don't even have Susie or Noelle as waifus
>>
>>4006783
The end is the worst part. The only part I liked about him was how he pissed off Ralsei but even then that was ooc skinwalker Ralsei, so it doesn't even really count. He felt like somebody's pet OC, but not like it was someone having fun with the trope, but like they were actually trying to make him super cool, powerful, and likable. Even the knight fight just made the knight dumber by association

We do know exactly what Shu would be like in the dark world now though.
>>
>>4006786
They're basically the same character. One just has a better design.
>>
>>4006798
eh, as much as I thought chapter 5 was lame Flowery had plenty of funny moments and quirks, if you ever saw Reddit!Shu you would see how he's not only a Gary Stu, but also a really dull character whenever he opens his mouth
>>
>>4006793
It felt like it whipping from one ship tease to another and giving me whiplash, with the most common one being Suselle.
>>
>>4006800
He's just Queen and Tenna mashed together. None of his quirks were his, they were all copy pasted, and funny moments were just other characters being mangled to react to him in a funny way. And his design is the most offensively bland thing I've seen. He doesn't even get scrimblo status. He's just some guy.
>>
>>4006795
That was all ironic though? He just wanted Asgore to be happy for caring for them despite having no reason to, since they already served their purpose already. How did it make the Knight dumber though?

The problem to me is that we could've gotten some Chara characterisation or somebody else, but no, we got a retread mix of Tenna and Mettaton EX (His face sprite at the end is almost the same even) while looking like Rudy

I wouldn't call that ironic. That's just him being "a really chill guy". his worst flaw is being condescending and rude to anyone who isn't Asgore, but even that was just him "trying to teach Ralsei to be strong" . If they had properly played up the aspect of him being fake or deluded instead of just haphazardly scribbling it on the margins then he could've been a decent character.

As for the knight, that damage slash thing was dumb. It being able to just nuh uh damage by attacking the numbers is stupid power wank that drags the character down to his level
>>
>>4006808
I'm still holding some hope (cope) that chapter 6 will deliver and this is all part of tobias' plan (see >>4006690 >>4006691 )
Because the alternative is just admit toby has bad writing or that his team had way more power over him and of the game than he let on

>>4006809
Post that on this thread >>4002072 or at least spoil the image

>>4006806
She just didn't expect for anybody to stand up to her, and flowery used tons of tricks. But the Knight quickly recovered though, so I do not know what are you getting at?


I think the sequence was inspired by people wondering, what if Tenna dodged and used his minigame powers to trick and trap the Knight. That's basically what happened
>>
>>4006813
Same. This might even be a good thing.
I was too high on hypefuel, now that Chapter 5 has been unanimously a disappointment, /v/ and /vrpg/ have sobered up that we shouldn't expect Toby to deliver.
>>
>>4006784
The soul is Kris and the angel is gaster and and something abou the voices in Kriss head and ralsusie
Considering how ch 5 ended ralsusuie should have been real
That's my thesis
As for my partner he did a lot of cool stuff like porting ch4s cutscene system into ch 1, he made some of the old cutscenes look so much better
We're also doing borders

Is it just me or should blue have been a woman. The face looks like Carol's

It comes up in the aborted/Side-A Weird Route. You can tell Susie:
>"Don't get inbetween me and Noelle"
But Kris jumps into the water to stop himself from saying it.
>>
>>4006850
and not just a few designs, it was a chapter full of consistently worse designs. It makes me appreciate yellow even more looking back on it. I could have never imagined going into the release, that this was the nature of the discussions we'd be having post chapter.
I wonder if this chapter will inspire anyone to make their own game because of how shitty the chapter was, continuing the cycle.
but yeah yellow was a one not gag character who's only point was "AHM DOIN A JUSTICE" and being gay.

>>4006856

honestly the fangames have come up with some really great designs for monsters and darkners alike. I have hope that this will put to rest the idea that toby is some infallible designer.
>>
>>4006864
jesus, I thought about something like that before this chapter released like "what if dess was a human found alongside kris and they were taken in by two different monster households."

but I'd rather not think of worst case scenarios after what we got.
>>
>>4006862
In the context of the conversation, Susie also asked why Noelle and Kris were wet. I don't imagine he wants to talk about their murder-suicide attempt from the Weird Route. But yeah he's a doormat is is trying too hard to not make waves.

Maybe they pressured him into it, maybe they've convinced him of it, maybe he was pressed for time and just said fuck it, maybe he's been working on DR so long that he's fallen out of love with it and would rather other people do it for him, maybe chapter 5 was just filler he didn't care about.

What's the harm with spoilering? No one here is gonna play it anyways. I doubt explaining Noelle forcing Kris into murder-suicide pack where they wade across the lake, drown, and then emerge somewhere else (only for the game to ask for Chapter 7 Disc 2) will change anyone's mind.
Nor will explaining the undrowned but still Snowgrave route where you go back to shore and Noelle cosigns herself to her lack of agency while still secretly being all crazy.

I wont blame you for disliking it, but I still firmly believe it was better than what we witnessed in chapter dynamics. though yes I have to admit, I never saw toby doing what he did with the nicecream subplot or whatever it's called. His response to the nicecream guy was genuinely appropriate.

Catty starts trying to cheer him up and realizes that he's actually a really sweet person when she starts crying over her own attempt to cheer him up, and he tries to console her. then she thinks about pizza and drags him away to go eat/ maybe make a band together. it's just silly.

It's still weird that DR's version of Flowey is a gay incestuous Rudy/Asriel mashup created from the weird combination of how Platners work, Kris' love for Asriel, and Asgore's love of Rudy.
Also Toby chickened out by not having the Tsundere cactus Planter appear, he's just trying to make Krris suffer at this point. Why else would he have Mad Mew mew blow up during their optional dating segment?

it also continued Catty x Bratty in one of the pizzapants choices and has Catti be openly jealous of Susie because of her feelings for Noelle

Having Pizzapants blow up at the Nice Cream for catfishing him is deserved, although it doesn't make up for everything else. Catty and Bratty are still bitches, and Nice Cream guy somehow stopped to their level.
At least he's not guy for Asirel.

And a shitposter is here deliberately posting spoilers in an attempt to bother people that are here, but haven't finished playing the new chapter yet, and/or get them to not play it altogether.
Ironically in a way that kind of makes it seem like they didn't play the chapter and were combing through spoilers on something like youtube, given contextual things that happen near the start of the chapter that are incidentally hilarious regarding a fairly regular topic of discussion.

What's wrong with that, everyone agrees that Flowery and the six gay tranny human-knockoffs are terrible and the forced Suelle is even worse.
There's nothing worth getting into Deltarune for and people should be warned before hand.
Just look at picrel, a fat, mute they/them, green human soul flower fag. Not nearly as bad as Blue and Yellow though. Clover, UTY, and DRY are better than anything from Deltarune any day of the week.

>>4006927
If replaces all their sprites and makes picrel a girl, and yellow less dumb maybe it would come close but Chapter 5 is genuinely unsalvagable. Even Flowery's boss mechanic is a lamer version of something a fangame pulled of better.

-Flowery was lifelong friends with Asgore and Toriel, but was the runt of the three on account of being a flower
-Flowery used to live in Asgore's House (now known as Toriel's House) but Asgore moved to the shop along with him because THE INCIDENT scorched their marriage into a divorce

So what you're saying is that you actually have little to no respect for him and that your opinion of him is entirely based on which fictional characters he may or may not appreciate for any reason.
I don't even particularly care for Blue, but there doesn't have to be a big deal made out of people liking things I don't like, and the same goes for you.
>>
>>4006987

It's been years since I played UTY but did the game's writing had the same issue UT/DR has where every serious scene is followed by a joke or something random happen? That's what bothered with chapter 5, it felt like Toby is trying to be unpredictable. I wonder if the fangames have avoided this pitfall.
Also how does DRY1's writing compare with UTY and UT/DR?
>>
>>4006988
I don't know why that would mean I have very little respect. I take these things very seriously. I genuinely think there's some degree of evil behind the design and characterization of blue. Not extreme evil mind you, the artist isn't going around murdering people or ruining their lives, but he does hold some hatred of all good and beautiful things in the world and wants to see them subverted undone because he hates them.

I don't think Sig is evil, I'm just disappointed someone like him with such good taste would find something so horrible to be pleasing. It shows either a lack of ability to discern the innate horror of it, or a profound tolerance of something that really shouldn't be tolerated.

I'm not gonna jump down his throat about it or anything. Hell this discussion would probably be over right now if you weren't making me defend my position right now.

If you're personal tastes are "mannish steven universe trannies with pretentious attitudes, the type that have utterly destroyed western animation" then I think it is fair to critique.

We've had greed for the entirety of human existence. We've had people who are proudly disgusting and evil, which militantly hate all things good and beautiful in the world and push for their destruction at every opportunity, usually through subversion and manipulation of politics and capitol for around 30 years, and these problems only manifested in the last 30 years.

Yes, greed is a problem, but these are also a major problem. I think they're worse, on account of how they're an affront to everything good in the world. The capitalist at least leaves you alone once he's got your money, these people want to make the entire world and everything in it like them and will not stop at anything to do it.

Now I don't want to have a thread destroying argument over this, so I'm willing to end this here. But just know I'm not yielding and would rather die than accept anything these people do.

You're yammering about how a flamboyant man in a dress is some kind of primordial evil, as if that hasn't been the primary stereotypical depiction of a gay man since forever.
I don't even think the game implies that Blue's a trans person, he's referred to as a guy in-game by about everyone who talks about him, so he really is just a man in a dress, and that's got you clutching your pearls.
I wasn't calling you the sharty. Think I know who you are at this point, and it's real disappointing to see you pissing your pants like this over something so fucking trivial.
Get a grip.
Seriously.

Maybe I crashed out a little bit back there. Sorry if I was rude. But I did just see my favorite game get destroyed by this exact kind of person, so I hope I can be forgiven for being a little jumpy at the moment.

To be fair with that anon, I think Blue being black and drawn like that is what makes his character come off as a "diversity bingo" it raises a lot of red flags

Not liking the design is one thing, and I already said I don't care for it too much myself, but that anon was saying that designs like that are "an affront to everything good in the world" and acting like it was *the* thing that ruined the chapter recently.
I'm not defending Blue's design here, I'm calling a schizophrenic nutcase a schizophrenic nutcase.
>>
>>4007013
Other anon here, I looked up Bon Clay, and he doesn't look that bad. Doesn't set off the nightmare alarm that Blue does. I actually like flamboyant characters when they aren't that one specific archetype.

Its less like they are the cause and more like they are the symptom of the story getting captured by the worst kind of people you know, that being said I do think his reaction was exaggerated.

>>4007018
That's what I meant, if any of the other souls were black then it wouldn't be red flag, but the design combined with the character is what makes it feel straight out of Steven Universe.
>>

>but that's like around five people out of who knows how many more.

>>
>>4007017
The design itself is just a symptom of a problem, the problem being the person that drew it and the people that let him into the studio. That person and the people helping him are what ruined the new chapter. They're behind Suselle, Blue, Flowery, the spiteful attitude towards the player, everyone acting out of character, all the weird sequences that feel out of place in Deltarune. . There are many people like that, those people ruin everything they touch, and it is their life's mission to touch everything.

There's a person behind this kind of art and a philosophy behind this person, and that philosophy is horrible, and that's why they make horrible things.
>>
>>4007021
>Its less like they are the cause and more like they are the symptom of the story getting captured by the worst kind of people you know, that being said I do think his reaction was exaggerated.
I think the real biggest symptom of a potential "shift" in the story was the Suselle stuff at the start of the chapter, which felt way, way more jarring to me than a black guy in a tutu, and will almost certainly have worse impacts on the writing from here.
And again, as for that anon's reaction, he's acting like it's the root of all evil, he's clearly out of it.
>>
>>4007012
Come on, anon, you know these people exist. Like that woman that took over and ruined Skull Girls. She's on Toby's dev team. For all we know she could be ruining Deltarune right now. We know someone is, maybe multiple people. Those are the people I'm referring to, and I think the kind of vulture that chases an existing established property just shove their name and their terrible tastes and art into it, regardless of how it ruins it, usually resulting in things like Blue, are evil.

Fair enough, they probably aren't the worst thing in the world. I have a bad habit of being over dramatic. But artistic vultures are a real problem and I think there is some degree of evil in them to do something like that.
>>
>>4007024
>spoilers
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Toby didn't just surrender complete writing and creative control to some random new people because of whatever spiritual sickness you're convinced is the cause of all the world's problems.

Anon, seriously.
Just stop.
>>
>>4007026
The Suselle stuff is just a symptom of Toby's Yuri's fetish evolving further and taking a bigger hold of the plot, I was expecting that to happen which is why I didn't think it as jarring as Blue.
>>
>>4007028
>Yeah, I'm pretty sure Toby didn't just surrender complete writing and creative control to some random new people
NTA, but it did feel like he did through the chapter
>>
>>4007027
>We know someone is, maybe multiple people.
And you never stop to think that maybe it's Toby?
I'm not saying Toby can't be influenced by other people, of course he can, but the way you're acting makes it sound like he's some helpless hostage who's having his pet project taken from him and fucked up, which isn't the case.
Maybe the mess we saw just now was the result of what happens when there isn't someone to reign him in when he's actually operating at a higher level than normal, and not keeping himself in check.
> Fair enough, they probably aren't the worst thing in the world. I have a bad habit of being over dramatic. But artistic vultures are a real problem and I think there is some degree of evil in them to do something like that.
I typically reserve the word "evil" for things like mass-genocide, or child predators, so yeah, I think you're having a bit of an overreaction here.

Again, it's one thing to not like the design, or designs of a similar nature, but acting like they're the most evil thing in the world, and especially being a dick to a drawanon over it, is way too fucking far.
You need to get a handle on yourself before you make such an ass of yourself like this, it's not cool.
>>
>>4007026
Its not the root of all evil, but transgenderism, specifically the modern political expansionist kind that preys on the mentally ill and uses institutional capture to gain control and influence is absolutely evil. Same with the vultures who circle existing IPs, pull connections to get themselves in, then ruin it because they never had any talent skill or actual investment in the project to begin with, albeit to an even lesser extent than the previous group.

I'll accept that I over reacted, I did, but there is good grounds for my fears.

Just letting you know Sig, FRIEND is actually in chapter 5, but to find and interact with him requires you to do something so specific that I don't blame people for not knowing he's actually there.
>>
>>4007034
>but transgenderism
Again, not what that is.
Go check the wiki, you can see it for yourself, he's a guy. And, you know, the fact that he clearly looks like a guy, and how everyone exclusively refers to him as a guy.
Just a flamboyant gay guy in a dress, there is literally nothing about his character that pertains to transgender shit, I really don't know why you're banging on about that.

I'm not touching the rest of that other shit you said, take that shit to >>>/pol/.
>>
>>4007028
I think he did that anyways, even separate from any issues with the people making the game. He's been doing this for ten years, and he's got health issues that make it hard to work, and he's working under deadlines now because of the studio and the producer, that means he may not want to have as much fine control or he may simply not have the ability to have such fine control. Or there's always these option that he lets these people get away with murder because he agrees with them in premise and is friends with them, even if he would've done it in a more tactful way.
>>
>>4007036
If he's a guy then fair enough. The artist is just a hack vulture and not necessarily politically motivated. I just still really suspect them of more because of the face though.
>>
>>4007036
I don't think he means that the character is literally a tranny, just that the character is the kind of character you see being made by twitter trannies
>>
>>4007032
>And you never stop to think that maybe it's Toby?
I didn't say it wasn't. I'm leaning towards the idea that he isn't, on account of him previously handing all these sorts of things with much more tact and subtlety (hell, he even managed to make Suselle not a complete train wreck in chapter 4) but what this is doesn't even look like how he does that sort of stuff. So either he's lost his sense of tact and ability to write and design, or he had someone else do it for him.

He's is absolutely at fault here, if for no other reason than that he still signed off on this.

>I typically reserve the word "evil" for things like mass-genocide, or child predators, so yeah, I think you're having a bit of an overreaction here.
I disagree over the usage of the term. There are degrees of evil. There are all kinds of petty and insignificant evils. Gaslighting is evil, adultutery is evil, crybullying is evil. They're not near the level of murder or rape, but they are evil.

That's what I have been trying to tell you, yes.
Again, see for yourself.
>I just still really suspect them of more because of the face though.
The face is a bit accentuated, sure, but that's just how they decided to design that particular flower, and all of the flowers are designed pretty extremely different from each other, so it doesn't stand out as being particularly egregious to me.
I think the thing that makes it stand out is his skin color, being noticeably designed as a black person, but is that really an issue?
Something Hussie managed to do better than Toby is the fact that he depicts all human characters as having paper-white skin but with no canonical ethnicities to any real extent, meaning he never had to broach the topic of race, but Toby gave Frisk something resembling an actual skin color, albeit an exaggerated one, so a noticeably black character was always a possibility if Toby ever decided to show off more humans, even if indirectly in the form of the flower darkners.
So, aside from him being black, he's just a stereotypically gay man in a ballerina outfit, which by itself is also a pretty common trope, so I don't think combining him being flamboyantly gay with him being black is much of an issue.

>but is that really an issue?
Its him being gay, black, "human", a representation of the blue soul, in a gay relationship specifically with the representation of the justice soul, having a really detailed face, and being drawn in a very Tumblr tranny style, in Deltarune, which does not draw humans like that, and has a 99.9% non-human cast, all in combination that made it so terrible. Also its resemblance to those "UT if they were human" AUs where everyone is a greasy black trans muslim with vitiligo.

Just quit blowing up about it, and especially think for a minute or two before you decide to tell a drawanon just how much your opinion of them's lowered because they like a design you don't.

Yeah, sorry. I could claim the chapter had me feeling on edge, but honestly I've been doing a lot of shit like that lately.

That might've just been terminal autism. I think one of the worst things to happen to me as a child was losing my childhood home. That emotionally destroyed, took years to recover. To a normal kid that's an issue, but nothing too serious, to a very attachment prone autist that was horrible. Still I haven't been driven to tears over it over a decade. Thinking about it now, it might be because of some serious irl shit that's been going on, probably brought the fear of loss back to the forefront of my mind, which made the thoughts of what I've already lost come with it.

Do you think it'd be doable to mod Suselle out of chapter 5 without completely remaking the chapter?

>>4007089
Possible, but definitely a bit of work.
Mostly on the animation though, you'd have to completely change the scene with them before the dark world, the other references to it could be removed just by editing some dialogue to be about something else, though what exactly you'd replace it with is hard to say.

>This is kind of a cheap solution, but couldn't you just cut that lake scene out entirely?
Probably, yes, but then the pacing starts to feel weird (though, nowhere near as weird as it is by default, so perhaps that's not an issue) if you just start cutting too much out without replacing it with something about equal.
>>
>>4007099
I think the whole chapter could do with a recut. Its entirely too long and some less savory elements it could do without.
>>
>>4007100
Yes, but that's a way taller order than just tending to the specifically shitty bits of the chapter, and I can't think of much that sucked worse than the lake scene.
>>
>>4007101
Yeah, but to remove Suselle entirely you're gonna have to edit or cut scenes all over the chapter, and if you're doing that why not make other edits and cuts here and there?
>>
>>4007103
I guess, but the initial question was about how to remove it without completely redoing everything, and what you're describing is pretty close, so if you (or whoever) were asking that for anything other than mere hypothetical talk, it really is best to try and cut out the biggest problems first and foremost.

You know, for all the talk about the flowers, there's something I haven't seen anyone bring up so far that I kinda wanna talk about.
The six flowers represent the six human souls, okay, we get that.
But why?
Asgore has a connection to the six human souls in UT because he's the one responsible for their deaths, sure, but in DR, they're just some random flowers, so why have them represent something like that if they really don't have the same kind of weight to them?
It's not like the people the human souls belonged to really matter that much to Asgore specifically, they're just some humans he killed, and again, that doesn't even matter to the world of DR, so why do the various flowers have such a fixation on being human?
No I haven't finished the chapter yet, I'm lazy and also a little checked out, so if there's an answer to this I didn't see, feel free to tie it to a brick and chuck it through my window.

same reason undyne still becomes a knight in the darkworld, it's just a reference to undertale and that's about it
as for why the flowers are fixated on being human, you'll find out during the chapter's finale but basically:
they feel incredibly indebted to asgore's kindness in nurturing them each and every day for years when originally they were a breed of flower that would day after a single day after blooming, this combined with them watching kris, a human, grow up and still be the only one in contact with asgore from his family, gave them a yearning to be the same and repay his kindness, also possibly asgore went to college with humans? though not sure if that was just a gag from flowery
it's honestly really touching and my favorite part of the chapter

>bon clay
Hmm, I dont see it myself. Bon clays personality had a certain "gusto" to him that made him endearing. blue feels like all flat notes by comparison. Like even when he's being extra and going on about stuff poetically, it feels like there's no actual energy behind it. It felt like every scene he was in was brought down by his stale milk presence, whereas bon clay stole the show when he was on screen.

I think thats a fault of the chapters writing being worse all around.

There is some discussion there, yes, but people with other incentives are preoccupied with their bs and I'd imagine people wanting to discuss the game itself are offput with the concept of talking with someone who never cared in the first place.

I can't really blame them for focusing on shipping since the game seems to have murdered all of its characters and arcs to focus on a genuinely horrible pairing, then spent the time around that teasing other ships that it previously mentioned garbage pairing prevents. The game makes sure its the first and last thing you notice.

Honestly, chapter 5 was so bad that to me its just poisoned all the otherwise useful things it added. Like those motifs, I'd rather they not get used so nothing has to be connected to that awful chapter.
>>
Chapter 5 has gotten to me a lot more than I thought it did. That was the second time in a row I ended up staying up past 6 AM on account of how much it bothered me, and last night (or I guess this morning) I even had a dream where chapter 5 was good instead of being that (it had a bunch of different flower characters named after spanish colors, and had a plot about going to Mars, or a dark world recreation of it). And now I even find myself feeling genuine hatred for it every time I see people blindly defending it online.

I probably just need to push this out of my mind so I can stop feeling like a chud every time I see it, but like a bad memory, every time I throw it away it comes right back.

I get it, I spent the last day just venting about the game myself and I just feel over the chapters existence.

I may take some requests this weekend if time permits, to just embrace going back to business as usual.

I get ya, same thing happened with Digital Circus, it is mainly that those people just see their ship or laugh at the wacky flowers and everything else just fades to the background, doesn't matter.
This site is pretty much the last place you can discuss such things without receiving pushback. Everywhere else suffers from "toxic positivity". Don't you fucking dare say anything negative about the lesbians even if there are huge plot inconsistencies and you didn't even directly mention them, you are [trans/homo]phobic just for implying it is less than perfect.
I didn't really think much of Suselle myself, I already knew it was going to happen, but I've seen videos of people saying the Suselle was "masterfully written" and all I had to do was just sit back and close my eyes to not let the anger overtake me.
>>
>>4007109
>>4007370
Thing is I don't for a second believe the flowers represent what the fallen human souls behaved like, their genders, or what they looked like.
It's no secret that Deltarune is pretty much a completely different world from Undertale, where even the characters from that game behave a good bit differently in the Deltarune universe, because they lived different lives.
Plus Flowery is literally the Deltarune universe's version of Flowey, and they're nothing alike, outside of both being flowers.
For that reason as far as I'm concerned the flowers don't in any way represent what the fallen human children were like.
Especially considering it was left ambiguous in regards to what they were like, outside of their soul traits, and the fact they died in the Underground.
And let's be real here Yellow is nothing to Clover. While his moments were entertaining, Clover is just a simply way better character than him.
>>
>>4007359
I don't remember their designs, just that I didn't instantly dislike them upon seeing them like I did the ones in chapter 5.

That's how I thought I felt about it, but I find myself getting genuinely mad about it. I feel like a chud over chapter 5, but thankfully I'm still salient enough to recognize that instead devolving into pure mindless seethe like the people on /v/ seem to have done.

yeah... jesus fuck that's rough but I guess I can't be surprised. I already know in those places I'd get called homophobic for hating the gay ships in this game but they are just done so terribly badly.
Had someone hitting me with "susselle is realistic" yesterday and it made me laugh. Sure, I can imagine there are 2 people out there that would have reacted exactly as those two did. I don't want to know them and they didn't exist prior to chapter 5 but sure I believe it is technically "realistic".

I think the fandom as a whole is being better about accepting this mindset than I expected, though there's a few pockets of people that I know are going to angrily push yellow and blue.
it only makes sense though that cthis is just "one take" on those representations personalities, and as much as I've lost faith in toby in this chapter, I still think he'd believe that people should make the interpretations they want.
>And let's be real here Yellow is nothing to Clover. While his moments were entertaining, Clover is just a simply way better character than him.
yeah, I saw an image that was "I'm you but cannon" but still clover is just 10 times the character yellow is, even as ambiguous as he is.

Ultimately I think chapter 5 means nothing for fan games other than maybe inspiring some people to do something new.
>>
>>4007386
I mean there's gay people in these threads themselves that engage in the fandom the same way we do. Like I said, I don't have a problem that there is gay in the game, I expected that knowing what toby is like ever since the starmen.net days, but this is all just fucking bad and it's gonna be eaten up by millions at this rate.

Chapter 5 has got me thinking about how important it is for things to not drag on for too long. I think maybe if you want to make an episodic game like Deltarune, the individual episodes should be shorter than Undertale was. And they definitely shouldn't be longer.
>>
>>4007412
Chapter 5 wasn't longer than Undertale
>>
>>4007412
I can see that, this chapter felt overly long and had me ready for it to end, but I wonder if that's just from me disliking the chapter. I mean if it was as good as chapter 2 then I think I'd have been fine with the length?
>>
>>4007357
It's no surprise the mouse, the one that looks the most different out of all the flowers, ends up having the most appealing design.
>>
>>4007423
I think purples design works really well. It also feels close to what some people have done for fan kids before (though I don't really feel like these have to be inspirations for fan kids at this point)
>>
>>4007423
Aqua's design is better imo.
>>
>>4007424
Seth's design ended up being close to Hope's design (girl from UT futility)
>>
>>4007426
I don't think her design is strictly bad, it's just overdone with how they kept "upping" the pixel art.
>>
>>4007419
It took me 6 hours and I didn't even complete it. A single playthrough of Undertale only takes me five, less if I'm not thorough with dialogue and flavor text.
>>4007420
I had a similar thing happen with chapters 3 and 4. I think there's just too much of a good thing. And Deltarune as a whole is way too damn long. Its about 25 hours from start to finish and is only going to get longer.
>>
>>4007430
>And Deltarune as a whole is way too damn long. Its about 25 hours from start to finish and is only going to get longer.
That was probably Toby's dream when he made Undertale, old JRPGs tend to be between 20 to 35 hours long.

>>4007430
>Undertale is five hours long
Honestly insane how "short" Undertale is compared to Deltarune, I was thinking the game was longer because I always include the genocide route as part of the playtime but that only adds about 1.5 to 2 hours of length.
>>
>>4007437
undertale is also jam packed with things to see and little changes between routes that hold attention more and more. it's only so long but you can get much more game time out of it exploring what it's capable of.
>>
>>4007436
I'm still waiting for that design doc like a vulture waiting for the predators to be done with their meal

I think its great how short Undertale. Its better to leave early than to overstay your welcome.

>>
>>4007440
>Yeah, but these games do not lend themselves to that. Too much variation and emphasis on replaying for other choices.
I know, but I feel like Toby doesn't care, he has an extremely autistic vision on how his game should be, that probably includes a minimum play time

I really believe there's some ideas that can be picked from it. if nothing else, dissecting it will be a lot of fun I think.

I really like Aqua as well, it's just that Orange is the only one where they didn't go another human design, and tried to be different, and I ended up really liking the mouse design.

actually, scratch that, lolcows tend to attract people like that too, maybe he should stay alone if those are his only options, even if I prefer Luzen

>>
>>4007453
HAH, Luzen is
far too hard on himself to believe he's good enough to fight for someone's love. if he started losing someone he finally had settled down with, to someone like that, he'd probably think it was just the course of his life, some kind of punishment for sins he couldn't possibly remember, haunting him. maybe in another timeline he'd done something terrible, so yeah he probably deserves this.

it was nice for a while though... wasn't it?

Nice, but this is an old picture isn't it? how is this relevant?
>>
>>4007454
Nicepants was built on deception, Shuzen is built on mutual fuck ups, they aren't the same thing
>>
>>4007454
that's just because you have an issue with gays. bratty is the kind of person who's so wretched, she might just turn a guy gay so that he never has to deal with a woman like that again.
>>
>>4007458
Last time his crush went with someone else he nearly lost his mind, he won't let history repeat itself, much less for someone like Bratty, he was no match for Ceroba back then, but he sure as hell doesn't think he's much worse than Bratty
At the end of the day the choice is up to Shu, and we both know neither of them were his first choice either
>>
>Relationship that started as fucked up and became more healthy over time suddenly feels threatened by a third character

This is just like my telenovelas! Only gayer, and with furries
>>
>>4007461
I don't have an issue with all gays. Sure I have an issue with a lot of them, but there are a few I don't mind. I do however very much mind Shu being gay, especially for Luzen out of desperation.

>>4007461
Turning gay because he's tired of women would be better than doing it because he simply could never get laid with a woman.
>>
Why do scrimblo ships get to me so easily? I was genuinely getting heated over Shu shipping just now.
>>
>>4007462
but you see, that's history repeating itself, why else would history repeat itself if not because he truly deserves this?

I don't think he has anything to fear, and I think he'll rally himself into action this far into the relationship, but his first feelings would be defeat at the thought of the same thing befalling him once again. As if the world was against him
>>
>>4007466
>I do however very much mind Shu being gay, especially for Luzen out of desperation.
Luzen is the one dating Shu out of desperation, at first Shu only dates the rat because he pays for his food.
It's only after Shu gets his ass kicked and Luzen takes care of him that he begins to see him in a different light

>>
>>4007470
>at first Shu only dates the rat because he pays for his food.
That's even more desperate than doing it for affection. Literally selling his body to make rent.

>It's only after Shu gets his ass kicked and Luzen takes care of him that he begins to see him in a different light
Just reads like mindbreak to me. I'm not saying it is, but it feels the same as seeing someone get mind broken into "liking it" when I read that.
>>
>>4007474
>Just reads like mindbreak to me. I'm not saying it is, but it feels the same as seeing someone get mind broken into "liking it" when I read that.
because you have a bias against it. It's a classic trope of people seeing someone in a new light due to their actions in all kinds of ships, gay and straight.
hell it's normal in real life if everyone fails you but one person stays by your side, even if it's not romance, that can change how you view them.
>>
>>4007474
>That's even more desperate than doing it for affection. Literally selling his body to make rent.
its not to make rent, remember, Shu lives with his mom, this is probably just a way to save extra money
>Just reads like mindbreak to me. I'm not saying it is, but it feels the same as seeing someone get mind broken into "liking it" when I read that.
A character suddenly having feelings over someone that is nursing them is an old trope in fiction, this isn't even close to mindbreak, it would be mindbreak if he lost his memories, or if Luzen purposely neglected Shu in order to drag out his nursing.

>>
>>4007471
>but you don't mind him dating a wretchen devil of a woman with no redeeming qualities out of desperation. I think
Because I actually think they would make each other happy, and the pairing would be funny. I find couples like that to be really cute and endearing.

>Maybe you see yourself in Shu, or you see him as a friend/brother and don't want him to turn gay because of that,
I did have a schizo friend who would've been a lolcow if I hadn't reigned him in, who went gay, then went trans, then completely fucking lost it. Maybe its some subconscious association with that. He was in a similar desperate gay relationship.

> Toby's poor romance writing skills have been a disaster for gay characters in indie games
I'll accept that. I genuinely think Toby's games made me more homophobic. I can even point to each pairing type and which ship made me associate it with negative feelings. Suselle and Nicepants being the worst offenders.

This isn't to say that I hate gays mind you. I just get a very sour taste from seeing some gay pairings involving certain characters.
>>
>>4007469
>why else would history repeat itself if not because he truly deserves this?
Back then he had nothing, he had a crush on his only friend, now he is actively dating the object of his affection, things can be different this time, and the person "competing" with him isn't on a different league either.
>but his first feelings would be defeat at the thought of the same thing befalling him once again. As if the world was against him
Maybe he would see it like that at first but then decide that he can't let it happen again, back then he was too much of a coward to confess to Chujin, but now he has the chance to be clear about his feelings.

Like I said, I know its not mindbreak, it just feels like it to me. That's why I dislike it so much. You're allowed to ship it if you want, but I'm gonna ship Shutty in response, mainly to get the thought out of my head and replace it with something nice.

well, if you but into every conversation with "ACTUALLY SHUTTY" it just feels kind of weak. which I don't mean to come across as hostile, but it's just kind of feels like a second shu coming in "A-Actually I don't like this!"
you should actually bother to write something with it if you feel so strongly about it. I personally dislike bratty and think she's a horrible person, but maybe you could make me see the light on her.

>I tend to view a lot of these "nursed back to health and become lovers" or "alliance of convenience becomes genuine friendship" as mindbreak. It just feels that way to me. I know they aren't actually mindbreak, that's just the feeling they convey to me.
honestly though this is just weird to me. this is just human nature. More exposure to another person, especially in a unique situation, can expose you to other aspects of their personality, and give you a second chance at forming an opinion of that person.

this is my thing, just from what we know of the character, and what I've depicted so far, I think his first reaction would be a unique kind of acceptance-despair. but maybe that this has happened before, and that his life has been better lately would make him say "no, no this is wrong. I'm not the same man I was 5 years ago!"

Jokes aside, these kinds of characters mean a lot to me, even if they are ultimately just fiction. So they have a pretty strong emotional impact.

> we aren't writing this to "fix" him or as an humiliation ritual, we are having fun with a romance story
I know, and I'm not against that, however much the ship may leave a sour taste in my mouth. I just also like to have fun with my idea of a romance story, which is what I was doing back there with the "Shu is for Bratty" post. Just silly shitposting about a funny pairing I like.

I can already imagine Luzen walking away from his house in all alone, looking at the floor and thinking on how he should let things run their course, he doesn't deserve love, but as he walks he can't stop thinking about Shu, how it was all fake at first but with time they began to see each other for who they truly are, that special connection is something that he shares with Shu only, he shouldn't give up so easily, hes not worthless, and neither is Shu, maybe he deserves someone better, and Luzen is going to work to become the best version of himself.
>>
>>4007497
Unironically being forced to admit defeat and yield on a position despite still feeling that I'm right is a miserable feeling. As is being forced to side without someone I hate.

But to me mindbreak is specifically coming to love something you previously hated and probably should hate it. And the feeling I get from seeing it is the same feeling Shuzen gives me, even if I know its not really applicable. Same for a lot of redemption stories and stories about forgiveness. I think I could describe this as the Last of Us 2 feeling. Just feels yucky.

That just makes me like it more. Makes me imagine these are two Shu's from different universes, and one is really ashamed of the other being gay (or bisexual).

I should, but I'm a horrible procrastinator and I've got a dozen other things I should really be writing or drawing right now.

> I personally dislike bratty and think she's a horrible person,
I think she's horrible too, but chapter 5 made me like her a lot more. It showed that even she has a conscience and is capable of being good, even if it takes a lot to get her to show it. Maybe Shu could end up accidentally helping her learn to be a better person.

>More exposure to another person, especially in a unique situation, can expose you to other aspects of their personality, and give you a second chance at forming an opinion of that person.
Yeah, but often times media just kinda forces this without actually making it feel like the protagonist (or player in the case of vidya) actually have good reason to change their view of the other person. Hell in games I often get mad because they're trying to force me to like a person.

This stuff is all based in emotion. I make no claims of it being logical or sensible. This just doesn't feel bad like that does. It feels like a natural progression of the characters in a positive direction, and consequently doesn't trip that alarm that makes everything feel wrong.

I never even said that I think this stuff is mindbreak, just that watching it often gives me the same feeling as seeing mindbreak.

It may take me a while to actually write a story about it, but this does give me a few ideas.

Like right now I'm imagining Bratty gets with Shu because she's the only one stupid enough to fall for his bullshit, and genuinely thinks he's a super strong trophy BF. Then they do the disaster couple that's everyone else's problem thing like I said before. But as it goes on, Bratty starts to develop actual feelings for him. Maybe not even consciously, she just gets possessive and jealous, starts to enjoy being around him for more than just using him as a status symbol. And also as she's around him, Shu's conscience starts to rub off on her. He gets her to think about things like how other people feel and how her actions might make them feel. Gets her to feel genuinely bad about some mean thing she does, which makes her think about things more. Not even through any kind of lecture or intentional lesson, but just by following him around seeing his actions, and seeing how he acts. Shu genuinely will fuck himself over for the sake of others, even if he will normally do anything to look cool. And I think Bratty would learn something from that.

>>4007574
also this, it's honestly no further from mindbreak than the luzen stuff the way you're describing it.
>>
>>4007575
The only reason why Shu bragged of dating Luzma was because he wanted to dispel the rumors of his relationship with Luzen, unless in this timeline Shu still makes those edits with Luzma even while dating Bratty
>>
>>4007568
NTA, but this really kinda feels like a similar sort of thing as the Shuzen idea people were talking about before, but now it's a straight relationship instead.
>>
>>4007543
She did tell him most of the truth She was the one catfishing him, even if she did have some of her messages be ghostwritten by nicecream guy. Telling half truths is an improvement over telling complete lies. Plus now she's actually doing something that helps both of them rather than just screwing him over because she thinks he's weird. She's not a good person, but she's a better person than she was before, even if only by a little bit.

>>4007557
Of course she's worse than the nicecream guy, but her admitting to being pizzarina in person is better for him than nicecream guy just admitting its a lie and offering him a relationship he wasn't interested in as an apology. And since she was the brains behind it and the person originally doing the act, I think it is still at least a partial truth. Plus its making things right for pizzapants. He gets a girlfriend, even if that means it has to be her. Plus the idea of her learning to be better, even if only in baby steps greatly appeals to me.

> chapter 5 only made my opinion on Bratty worse
I think it shows that she's not completely evil, and has the ability to grow as a person.

> is that in one case the characters are gay.
Its a combination of factors. One is that I really don't see Shu as being gay, another is that characters becoming gay always feels weird to me, another is it be combined with desperation, another is it existing in the same series I feared nicepants was going to happen in, another is that I actually dislike Luzen. I liked Shu because I found his shittiness to be endearing. Luzen I just laugh at, not with, because he's a trainwreck of a character.

>I'd call it integrity.
it's the opposite of integrity when you know it's wrong and you want to stick to it. Integrity is commonly "doing the right thing even if no one is looking" and if you want to stick to your guns even when you know you might be wrong, then you're doing the opposite.
>>
>>4007576
She admitted to herself that she was in the wrong. Its a first step. Part of the appeal here is that she has a long way to go. She went up on that stage not expecting any praise or reward, just feeling bad about what she did and wanting to make things right.

Yes it is, a half truth is half a truth even if its also half a lie. And she may be taking advantage of him, but she made a genuine empathic decision leading up to that, not expecting anything in return. It shows the potential and ability for growth. You're throwing everything out because she didn't do a complete 180 and heel turn as a person.

>because now she's actually benefiting from the lie.
But he is too. If its mutually beneficial then its an improvement. And again she showed some actual character growth just being able to walk up on that stage and say she was his girlfriend.

>until the lie is revealed.
I could see him accepting it. Sure this perfect pizzarina he had in his head isn't real, but he's still gotten a girlfriend out of it. That's what he wanted. And of course things could progress from here. Maybe he'll come to love her for who she is, or maybe they'll both come to appreciate the relationship for what it is instead of basing it on a lie.

There's knowing and there's feeling. I'd argue integrity is an emotional thing, not a logical one. Integrity is doing what feels right, and remaining loyal even if things tell you not to.

that means nothing if the result is just her taking advantage of him. it's the opposite of growth if she steps up to do the right thing, and does something even more wrong than before

sounds worse than the mind break, and it feels like you're only ok with this moral travesty because it's a straight ship.

I think it would make for a great story, but she would absolutely deserve getting her head yelled off when the reveal of the lie happens, before they reconcile. she'd 100 percent deserve every bit of screaming he had in his body, because she's being terrible.

>>4007606
it's adherence to a code or set of values (which is why I described it as doing the right thing when no one is looking, because you adhere to the code yourself without needing someone over your shoulder demanding you do), so if your code is doubling down when you know you are wrong, because it feels wrong, then that is a very unique code.

Most commonly used in reference to moral codes and artistic codes (like an artist having integrity to avoid his work becoming corrupted)

If you have a situation where you know you are wrong, but you feel like you aren't wrong, and so you do the wrong thing, you are doing the opposite of having integrity, because you are going against what you know to be right.

Yeah, but she's shown growth and the potential to grow further just by taking pity on him and going up on that stage. She went up there expecting shame and scorn purely out of the kindness of her heart. Just the fact that she has kindness in her heart that she will listen to is something.

You're refusing to see the potential narrative here.

>One and two is that you don't like gays
Its more specific than that. I don't dislike gays across the board as a concept. I don't like Reynault being gay, for example. Seems like he may do that sort of thing. Or Tenna, could see him being gay. Or Rouxls, being down for whatever seems natural to him. Shu just really feels like someone who would exclusively like women, and probably have very specific tastes beyond that..

>Its only desperation from Luzen
Doing it for money because he's flat broke I would consider to be desperation

>And that didn't happen
And that doesn't matter. What matters is the emotional impact, the impression it leaves. Nicepants seemed like it was going to happen, and it was horrible, and Shuzen looked a lot like that, making it seem horrible.

>The whole point was to take a trainwreck character and do something else with him instead of letting the charater rot
I would rather something else have been done with him. Or maybe just that he had been left to rot.

And again I'm not saying that can't like these things. Just that I dislike them.

I don't think the quality of writing is determined by how much ground there is to cover, and rather by if the dynamic is made interesting.
I agree that you could make a good story out of those two. Narratively I don't have a "problem" with bratty being a bad person, but it's relevant from the angle of our conversation that you think it's better he be with a sincerely terrible person where the same narrative themes that feel like mindbreak for you in the gay scene, is suddenly ok when it's the straight scene.

you could absolutely write her improving and becomming a better person, but her position as of chapter 5 is in the negative, she is a worse person than ever before.

I disagree on basically everything you said there. I think we're just going in circles now. And if that's the case it seems the discussion has reached its end, or at least this part of it has.

>and it feels like you're only ok with this moral travesty because it's a straight ship.
And I'm saying its not just that.

>, but she would absolutely deserve getting her head yelled off when the reveal of the lie happens,
Maybe (almost certainly actually) she deserves to get yelled at, but it might be better if she doesn't get yelled at. I think doing that would just shove her back into her old ways and make her give up on ever pursuing the idea of redemption or being a better person. Justice is good, but sometimes forgiveness is the better choice even if it means letting someone get away with something terrible. And if Pizzapants would be happier with her than he would be alone, even knowing the lie, which I believe he might be, then her not getting yelled at is the better course of action.

After all, he's the wronged party, and if he would rather have a girlfriend then get revenge, then I think everything is still set right. He's still repaid for the wrongs done to him, just in a way that doesn't harm Bratty. (not that harming her is wrong, but just that not harming her also isn't wrong).
>>
>>4007617
>Yeah, but she's shown growth and the potential to grow further just by taking pity on him and going up on that stage. She went up there expecting shame and scorn purely out of the kindness of her heart.
kindness? She put him in that situation, the only reason why she went to the stage was because you convinced her, she was more than willing to let Nicecream guy deal with the disaster.
>You're refusing to see the potential narrative here.
I'm seeing a different potential narrative, that's why I don't see this as a good alternative
>Its more specific than that. I don't dislike gays across the board as a concept. I don't like Reynault being gay, for example. Seems like he may do that sort of thing.

I figured you would say something like that about homos.
>Doing it for money because he's flat broke I would consider to be desperation
He's not broke, he sees it as passive income, Shu is just lazy.
>And that doesn't matter. What matters is the emotional impact, the impression it leaves. Nicepants seemed like it was going to happen, and it was horrible, and Shuzen looked a lot like that, making it seem horrible.
But it wasn't anything like it, there were no lies involved, both characters knew from the start what they were doing, it was only an accident that made their perspectives change.
>I would rather something else have been done with him. Or maybe just that he had been left to rot.
Really? These threads started because we wanted to give new life to characters, using Luzen, even like this seems on brand.
>>
>>4007638
Well, he said sometime in the last thread that he apparently likes me enjoying his character more than he hates what I'm doing for it being gay.
So, I guess it is what it is.
That does lead me to question how much he actually respects anything about me at that rate, though I believe I know the answer to that as well, so I just leave it alone for the most part.

>sounds worse than the mind break
Think of it like this, he was lying on those texts too. Faking his pics, making himself out to be way cooler than he actually is. Yet he still expects her to love him back. Maybe he just doesn't mind those kinds of lies as long as everything works out in the end. He seems to find her attractive, and the person behind Pizzarina was ultimately her. So maybe he would actually like her.

I've been lied to before and not minded if I ended up getting something nice out of the ordeal. Maybe it would be like that for him.

>>4007615
nta, but I think the problem here is that there can be multiple definitions of right and wrong, even internally in one person. Integrity is valuing things like loyalty, familiarity, and consistency over things like logic, law, or impartiality, which I would say fall under justice. Integrity is relative and full of bias and paritality because those things are just the negative terms for loyalty and friendship.

you're saying that, but then including the same kind of elements as the ones you dislike in other ships in yours.
>Maybe (almost certainly actually) she deserves to get yelled at, but it might be better if she doesn't get yelled at. I think doing that would just shove her back into her old ways and make her give up on ever pursuing the idea of redemption or being a better person.
she should have some development by this point where she is torn by her desire to retreat back to her old ways, or push forward with the new feelings. if you let her just slide by without it, then it feels even more like she's just getting a pass.
>and if he would rather have a girlfriend then get revenge
it's not about revenge, it's about good relationships being built on truth, and his feelings being important too. something the person using him will have to realize for this to ever end up somewhere positive instead of wallowing forever in a terror relationship.
>Think of it like this, he was lying on those texts too. Faking his pics, making himself out to be way cooler than he actually is. Yet he still expects her to love him back
the very first thing he does is admit this, showing the quality of his character is better than we would have thought before
>Maybe he just doesn't mind those kinds of lies as long as everything works out in the end
his reaction to nice cream tells us that's not the case. When he blows up on nicepants, he doesn't even call out the gay issue of it. everything else is a much bigger issue for him there.
>I've been lied to before and not minded if I ended up getting something nice out of the ordeal. Maybe it would be like that for him.

>>
>>4007658
>nta, but I think the problem here is that there can be multiple definitions of right and wrong, even internally in one person.
yeah that's very fair.
but this is feeling vs knowing and all based on that anons (or you depending on who I'm talking about) admission that he knew what was right but still felt like it was wrong.
Know is a strong word, and it ties to integrity because it's a solid value. "I know what the right thing to do is (according to my own set of values).
integrity is going with a set of morals or values.
If you hold the values of justice as your own personal code, then following justice would be integrity.

but "I feel like this is what I want, but I know what is right" is a classic dillema, and going with what you want over what you know is right is oppositional to integrity.

It's just that it's determined by the code being followed and some people may have different codes that define them. following that code is being "true to yourself" as you'd put it, breaking that code to do what you want would be betraying your own values for self satisfaction, but you held those values for a reason, and so it may be short lived satisfaction.

This is too dogmatic of a view of things. If everyone operated on that principal the world would be destroyed by needless waste because everyone was too obsessed with honesty to tell lies when lies need telling.

I still disagree with you there. I think she's better than she's been for the rest of the game.

>he be with a sincerely terrible person where the same narrative themes that feel like mindbreak for you in the gay scene, is suddenly ok when it's the straight scene.
I don't think it was mindbreak for Pizzapants. At least not in this case because I do think they could actually get along is Bratty just decided to be less shitty towards him, which she is doing and has the opportunity to do more. Pizzapants actually does seem to like Bratty, at least he finds her attractive, as shown by his actions and statements in Undertale, and show by her thinking he's a creep in chapter 1 (why would she if he had never made a pass at her?).

As for Bratty, she's stupid and self serving. If she realizes that she actually doesn't hate Pizzapants like she thought, and enjoys her time with him, that isn't her acting out of character, that's her acting in her own self interest after new information has been revealed. All the while becoming a better version of herself in little ways here and there.

>It sounded like he's saying that he doesn't like reynault being gay
I'm sort of neutral to him being gay. I don't think its out of character because he seems like the type of person that could be down for that.

no because this is not a situation where a lie needs telling, and lies don't need telling when it's for selfish gain.
AND, making the judgement between a lie that is for someone's own good or when it's not good to do that is already a tricky thing, but that's not happening here. this is bratty going along with it because she got swooned by the praise and the idea of free shit.
>I don't think it was mindbreak for Pizzapants.
>As for Bratty, she's stupid and self serving.

yes the exact same thing the shuzen stuff is.
we've got two ships doing the same kind of stuff, not great people coming to realizations about the other.
The truth is, neither of them are mindbreak, but both deal with the same kind of stuff while only one instance of that gives you the feeling. That stuff with bratty is along the same stuff that luzen and shu would be going through.
>>
>>4007677
if someone has a strong moral compass, then their feelings may often align with their values, but it's again, definitionally and colloquially about "doing the right thing when no one is looking."

that phrase is actually one of the very common descriptors for integrity, while the dictionary version is the other one I was going with.
>>
>>4007647
>She put him in that situation,
Yes, and if she truly were completely selfish, she wouldn't have helped him at all. She would've just sat back and laughed.

> the only reason why she went to the stage was because you convinced her,
Convincing someone isn't mind control. She wanted to do it, she just needed a push to get her to take the initiative.

>I figured you would say something like that about homos.
To be clear, I mispoke about the Reynault thing. I don't mind him being shipped in gay ships. I don't think that would be OOC for him.

>Shu is just lazy.
That's another difference of opinion then. I see Shu as being flat broke and living in his mother's basement because he's too busy lolcowing to get a job (or maybe there's just no job opportunities in snowdin that he's qualified for and won't leave his family behind to look for work elsewhere)

>But it wasn't anything like it,
It was a sad a desperate person that the entire universe likes to use as the but of the joke getting paired with another sad and desperate person because he's sad and desperate. That's the similarity I saw.

>hese threads started because we wanted to give new life to characters
Just because I like the principle doesn't mean I like it being applied to every character. But even if I dislike it, you are still free to apply it to him if you want. I'm not telling you to stop.
>>
>>4007668
When I say know I mean knowing logically. I use it to distinguish from knowing emotionally, which I referred to as feel. To me integrity is following your heart even if everything else (possibly even your brain) says otherwise. That's consistency and being true to yourself. Your emotions are the truest you there is, so there the parts that integrity applies to first.
>>
>>4007676
Mindbreak is coming to love something you should hate by being made to. She never actually had good reason to hate him, her hatred was based on ignorance. As such clearing up the ignorance makes the relationship work. Or at least it can without feeling mindbreaky.
>>
>>4007674
Don't you think that's just a *little* bit harder for me to believe, given how vocally opposed you are to gay stuff when it pops up, and especially with that display last night?
Your respect for any given thing seems to hinge on a lot very specific little details, and you've said yourself before that you consider sexuality to be a large part of what makes a person who they are, so at this point I find it hard to doubt that my sexuality doesn't make you see me as a lesser person in your eyes.
>>
>>4007690
that conflicts very heavily with the actual definition of the word.
>Your emotions are the truest you there is, so there the parts that integrity applies to first.
but I disagree with this. I think the emotional and logical side are in or should be in equal balance because the logical side is just as much a part of who you are. An animal capable of higher reasoning.

Because you made her feel guilty, It could easily be peer pressure since she looked uncomforatable throughh the entire thing, but this is just an interpretation.

I know the joke is that he lives with his mom, that's why I said this was a way to get easy money, he's lazy and would rather spend his time with a deperate rat that sees him as a replacement for his crush, than go outside and get an actual job
>It was a sad a desperate person that the entire universe likes to use as the but of the joke getting paired with another sad and desperate person because he's sad and desperate. That's the similarity I saw.
In the original post the joke was that Shu did it for free food, not because he needed it or was desperate for money

>because this is not a situation where a lie needs telling, and lies don't need telling when it's for selfish gain.
Bratty has limits. She's not gonna come clean right there. If she did Burgerpants would likely snap at her, she's jump right back into her old ways defensively, and then they'd both spiral into misery and being bad people forever. Whereas if she's forgiven and allowed to still be bad to a lesser extent, she may improve in the future, and make both of their lives better.

>his is bratty going along with it because she got swooned by the praise and the idea of free shit.
And those ideas are a good positive reinforcement for the one good action she did that day, which likely will encourage her to do more good things for Pizzapants in the future. Even if she does them for purely selfish reasons, if they both benefit from the relationship, then the relationship is a good thing, and additionally it stands to improve them both as people.

>yes the exact same thing the shuzen stuff is.
The difference is that I don't think Shu would like men. Not because being gay is wrong, but because I don't see him specifically as being gay.

funnily enough, that's what I consider someones sense of justice.

Justice is what I think is our emotional sense of judgement, and integrity is our logical judgement essentially, and law should have both because criminals should be judged both considering our human emotions and our human logic (I know this isn't about a court case, I'm just rolling with the example).

I feel this was right or wrong, that something should be done about this, justice

yes, and those limits are defined by her not being a good person right now. anyone can change, but her actions here are not a change yet.
> If she did Burgerpants would likely snap at her, she's jump right back into her old ways defensively
yes but that's not because the lie is a good one, it's because she's not a good enough person to tell the truth that should be told here. This does not elevate the lie or make the lie good. Lying that you stole money from someone doesn't become a necesarry evil because you aren't a good enough person to handle the recourse of your actions. it just shines a spotlight on how bad you are.

>And those ideas are a good positive reinforcement for the one good action she did that day, which likely will encourage her to do more good things for Pizzapants in the future. Even if she does them for purely selfish reasons, if they both benefit from the relationship, then the relationship is a good thing, and additionally it stands to improve them both as people.
yes, and the truth should come out one day and it's up to the person being wronged to let it go or to let her have it, and either decision would be acceptable because they are the person being wronged and the punishment indeed fits the crime. if he decides to reject her for that it would be understandable, and if she recedes back into her old self because of that then it's not his fault for righteously rejecting her, but if she bounces back from that and tries to genuinely change because of that, then that could make the dynamic actually interesting and worth exploring.

Then why am I getting interrogated for not liking the ship? Do you want me to decide to be some rampant homophobe who hates faggots to square away this perceived logical inconsistency?

I just don't like some of the characters that I really like or identify with being made gay, especially not when it keeps happening. And there's nothing wrong with that.

You actively create these conversations when it comes up. I was enjoying talking about this but if you're starting to dislike the conversation then I mean it is what it is.
>>
>>4007711
>I would consider those the same.
I don't see it like that because being desperate would imply that he needs it, when he doesn't, he just wants the easy money

Because you came up with a ship that is functionally the same with the main difference being that one is straight and the other is gay?
>Do you want me to decide to be some rampant homophobe who hates faggots to square away this perceived logical inconsistency?
Well, you do seem to be inconsistent with how much you dislike homos, even more counting your latest rants, but I'll leave it at that.

>I just don't like some of the characters that I really like or identify with being made gay, especially not when it keeps happening. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm allowed to have likes and dislikes.
You are allowed to have like and dislikes, and I understand not liking when a character is suddenly made gay, but in this case it was done for fun and narrative purposes, there was no intention of sending a message or anything.

Look anon, we're on 4chan. The default position here is homophobia and every other politically incorrect position known to man. I would have no reason not to admit it if that were my position. If I disliked you, I would just say it and be open about it. I don't like dancing around playing games and keeping up appearances. That's the reason I come here, because this is a place I can be well and truly honest without having to worry about being policed for what I might believe.

Often times I'll say stupid things I regret later or find I don't believe because I do my thinking out loud and tend to judge things by feel rather than by some cold hard code or set of laws. I've said it before, but with me logic really does come second to the emotion, and exists as a method of classifying and explaining it rather than as the basis on which it operates.

Now I hope we can continue to operate in an atmosphere of mutual respect despite our differences, but if you can't accept that, then there's nothing I can do about it.
>>
>>4007708
>well your!shu doesn't but it's not an established thing that he doesn't.
Then what's the issue here? I write my version of Shu with my preferred ship, you write yours. Everyone should be hapy with this arrangement.
>>
>>4007715
I like talking about the ships. I don't like being interrogated under suspicion of homophobia on 4chan of all places.
>>
>>4007716
>Because you came up with a ship that is functionally the same with the main difference being that one is straight and the other is gay?
Its not just that, I also don't like Luzen or the context they're paired under.

I actually did like it when its funny, so its not even that I dislike the ship fundamentally, but just that I dislike it as a serious drama.
>>
>200+ posts long argument about Shu shortly after Chapter 5 released
Sometimes I regret introducing Shu to this place
I guess we always go back to him when we are feeling bored
>>
>>4007718
>I write my version of Shu with my preferred ship, you write yours. Everyone should be hapy with this arrangement.
anon I AM fine with that, I've said it before! The "issue" is that you started the argument specifically by challenging a gay ship with a straight one, that's going to cause that kind of reaction. You aren't bringing up your ship idea on its own merits, you're bringing it up only when shuzen is brought up to counter it, which you've said before. that's going to make people give you contentious responses, that's a justified response to that!
and even despite that, I've been engaging with you in some of the discussion on the merits of some of your idea, a lot of my talk about bratty being a bad person, is talking about how I think such a story should go to have an interesting dynamic.
>>4007720
you're getting interrogated because some people that have a lot of respect for you feel bad because of your own recent outburst which you've admittedly apologized for, and because you only bring up your ship in opposition to the ship some other people are interested in. I've personally encouraged you to explore your idea, but their reaction is reasonable. we're autistic here, sometimes we say things that make people feel a way we didn't want to make them feel, but it doesn't necessarily make their reaction unreasonable.

People talk about shuzen because it interests them in some way, but there's nothing to chew on with your idea because every single instance of it getting brought up is "this works (and also yours makes me feel gross because I don't think shu would be into men and etc).

Just take a step back for a moment at least and consider my words, even if you decide I'm wrong, I think there's value in them this time. I haven't had any issue with having this chat with you, and my criticisms are just coming from hashing out the ideas and seeing what I feel to be a bit of a dissonance.
>>
>>4007717
Fine.
For now.
You need to work on how you talk to people.
>>
>>4007723
You know what, fine. I meant that "Shu is for Bratty" post as a joke, poking fun at the previous discussion, but if its really that irksome to everyone else, I'll refrain from making such posts in the future.
>>
>>4007725
I think comparing it to nicepants is what made that comment spiral into this
>>
>>4007725
I didnt mind the joke, you replied to me with that one, but then it continued on and turned into the usual affair. I dont have a problem myself, but just give some thought overall to what I said. I totally get what you meant about thinking out loud and working through things with your emotions, but I think it also leads to you engaging in some things in a negative way.

Like I said, just give the whole of my post some thought.
>>
>>4007724
I do need to try to be less emotional when posting and to not speak in haste. But this site does sort of lend itself to that. Its practically built around saying whatever stupid and poorly thought out thing is on your mind, regardless of consequence. Bit of a hard habit to break. I'm already a lot more polite than I am in other threads on other boards because I actually give a shit about this one and want to maintain the quality. (not that I actively try to drop quality in other threads, just that there usually isn't any quality to drop).

So I hope you'll understand if some of those bad habits tend to show up sometimes. And I will try not to be a retard about that kind of thing in the future.
>>
>>4007727
>but I think it also leads to you engaging in some things in a negative way.
Yeah, it does. But its a hard habit to break. Funny thing is this isn't nearly the biggest ass I've made of myself in a 4chan thread.

The freedom on this site is nice, but sometimes its good to take a step back and chill out.
>>
>>4007728
I can accept that.
It'd be hypocritical of me hold you to a higher standard than myself like that, but I would appreciate it if you would try and speak with a little more tact when it comes to matters such as this. It's easy for people to get the wrong idea when you say things in a certain way, especially when it doubles down and becomes a big back and forth.
>>
>>4007722
We started discussing Shu because of Flowery.
An anon even made a pic for that >>4007076

>Funny thing is this isn't nearly the biggest ass I've made of myself in a 4chan thread
I get it, i can relate to that feeling

Either way we have something special here. We're all autistic as hell but we manage to avoid /vg/ level shit while still caring about the various people here. I think it says a lot that some of you specifically seek out the opinions of specific anons at times.

Be good to eachother and all that lame stuff.

>>4007734
I had dinner and cooled down. Gave me some time to think, and I think a lot of that may have been from me still being mad about chapter 5 two days later. It threw off my sleep, invaded my dreams, my first thoughts when I woke up were about chapter 5, and my first action was getting into a fight over it.

It seems even when I hate Deltarune it still gives me brainrot. Maybe I should play some other games to cleanse my palette. Maybe that will get me out of this angry chud feedback loop. Or maybe I'll go do some drawing.
>>
>>4007141
With the exception of Flowery, It's amazing how many fan designs have mogged Toby's official designs
Like come on, orange and blue look so much better. I would love to fanart of those someday
>>
>>4007742
Even Flowery isn't that special. Sure he's better than that fan design, but I've seen fan designs better than him.
>>
>>4007741
Yes, I'd suggest doing something to distance yourself from it, if it's giving you so much trouble.
>>
>>4007746
Honestly, I probably just need to stay away from the arguments about how it sucks. I left a negative steam review, that should be enough.
>>
>>4007741
yeah I'm probably going to spend my time thinking about the various fangames and maybe play something unrelated. I'm not as bummed out myself but I just don't feel like dwelling on it anymore either cause fuck it you know?

orange was okay but maybe my bias towards non humans is speaking here
>>
>>4007752
the 0 damage punch flurry sold me, and seeing her hanging out with pink back in the shop was really cozy too
>>
>>4007750
Well, it looks like people here are either similarly displeased with the new chapter, or just ambivalent on it, so that shouldn't be much of a problem here at least.
>>
>>4007752
>>4007754
I feel like I should've loved orange, but she didn't do that much for me. Maybe it was overcrowding, maybe just not strong enough character interactions.
>>
The new chapter using the Megaman X soundfont for that song when you're moving to the top of the castle gave me the mental image of the fun gang fighting Sigma at the end of a dark world.
>>
>>4007759
I think the chapter suffers very heavily from the overcrowding. like aside from its mechanical or tonal issues, it's got too many big characters that each seem to want their own spotlight that end up fighting for development.
>>4007762

I'll admit I liked that song, but mega man x songs make my body reflexively prepare for challenging gameplay and there was really nothing to satisfy that.

but I'm thinking now of that image of X and gang getting more and more angry that sigma keeps coming back, with an added image of x next to the fun gang super pissed of at sigma, while the fun gang are just scared of them both
>>
>>4007762
On that note I think X6 Sigma makes for a good schizo boss, if only he were an optional boss and not a main one in his game
>>
>>4007764
>Spoiler 1
Now if the chapter were good it would have played into that and had them competing for affection from Asgore and competing to be the party's biggest rival. Maybe even have each one wither as they fail to do eitherand are defeated by the party, paralleling how Asgore's obsession destroyed his family
>>
>>4007767

oh shit, actually I think that would work really well. maybe have the final one showing up more intensely across the chapter to personify him to prepare for the final fight, but not drag out each ones development over the chapter in that way. or maybe not even have flowery be the final fight.

>>4007766
why specifically x6? I remember him being incoherent in 5 or 6, but I always thought his actual fight in 4 was his creepiest outing.
>>
>>4007768
X6 is the zombie schizo version of Sigma, I always thought he should have been a secret boss like Phantom in Zero 3 instead of replacing the new main bad guy at the last second
>>
>>4007769
Thats fair, i was thinking of his second phase and his attacks themselves being underwhelming but that could be fixed

Also yeah their insistence on not letting anyone else BE the main badguy til 8 was insane
>>
>>4003983
Reminds me of that one interesting AO3 fic thats about Chujin and later Ceroba dealing with the guilt of their actions. However it really fell in the shitter when the author headcanoned that both Ceroba and Chujiin were actually transexuals. You made a straight couple a mutilated straight couple, way to go.
>>
>>4007768
maybe Flowery is slowly withering throughout the chapter too, and that's why he's getting more aggressive. Then at the end you could have him win, as in the heroes just outright refuse to seal the fountain. Only for him to wither anyways, and its revealed that the dark is what was withering the flowers, not merely being unable to fit in. This would represent how ultimately Asgore's obsession destroyed not only his family but their lives as well, even Kris's whose now in the same position. Additionally maybe the knight takes Asgore during the white out after the fountain is sealed instead of him just jobbing
>>
>>4007775
Yeah that would probably go a long way to making it all better honesty

also asgore didnt job, because he wasnt even given the dignity of a fight. The fucking shame of it all.
>>
>>4007773
It could be worse, there was a reddit UTY AU in which Ceroba, Chujin, Kanako and Clover were all trans
>>
>>4007775
Oh and to add to this the dark not only represents Asgore's obsession, but Flowery's obsession with being a real person that can love Asgore back would parallel Asgore's obsession as well, both with the dark world and with getting Tori back
>>
>>4007777
In my version the point of the dark world would be tgat the knight knows it can't take Asgore in a straight fight, hence the need for the confusion of the white out. This would also give me a clue of the knights true identity through a silhouette
>>
>>4007775
>>4007780
I feel like if asgore himself opened this dark world the themes would be much better, you can't just tell me he suddenly is inside a dark world and acts like everything is normal and nothing is happening? that was really odd
he also acts like he has talked to the flowers as darkners before, which means he likely would have had a dark world in his shop before, which would also imply that monster souls can seal them too, but I think toby didn't think things that throughly
>>
>>4007782
>suddenly is inside a dark world and acts like everything is normal and nothing is happening? that was really odd
He tells Flowery he knew that he was lying. From the start and was just playing along to further his own agenda, which is fighting the Knight and initially probably susing out what Flowery's deal was. He also mentions how being on the receiving end of cringe-inducing affection gave him some perspective on how Toriel feels.
>>
>>4007784
I don't mean that, I mean he isn't even one bit weirded out that a dark world suddenly opened in his shop, from what he knows, for no reason, and acts towards flowery from the start like they have met before, even if he knew of dark worlds it can only be assumed he saw one during the dess incident potentially 7 years ago, and until now he never saw one before, so it just feels off to me. he could just have acclimated fast but not instantly
>>
>>4007782
I think Toby meant for the explanation to be that Asgore was just playing along, including pretending to know who this old roommate was. But I agree that its weak.

Maybe instead Asgore created the dark world as a trap and instructed his flowers, whom he knew from his research would take forms he imagined them as, to assist in capturing any intruders. And that's why the flowers are all in the role of antagonists. Maybe the anime theming is because he figured the powerful characters in Alphys's Japanese superhero comics would be a good basis for his anti knight hit squad. Kris goes there because he gets a call telling him Asgore has become a problem and needs to be taken care of or something to that effect
>>
>>4007773
you know, I saw your post reference a 6 day old post, and clicked on the catbox without thinking about it. I had scrubbed that shit from my brain up til now.
and now of course I know about the cursed fic you describe!
>>4007778
and this! I hate this!
>>
>>4007781
would at least give the man some dignity in a way but, I would still love if somehow he got to fight it for even a bit but didn't just job. I don't know I just was really hoping that he would get to be genuinely cool for a moment.
>>
>>4007786
I kind of assumed he entered the Dark World that opened in the past since he's familiar with the terminology and from the outside they just look like smoke filled rooms. Meaning he probably met some Darkness in the past or had an incomplete source of information since it doesn't look like he got the down low on how to make them either, so in his mind being able to make Dark Worlds is probably something the Culprit in Dess' disappearance can do. Technically not wrong be he doesn't know anyone can make them.
So when he entered into a new one, he figured it's probably better to play it safe and try to find the culprit. Then Flowery says he's 100% willing to help Asgore on that front and Asgore knows the flowers can't be culprits so his priorities are
>1. Get the culprit
>2. Make sure no one else gets in the way.
>>
>>4007793
There'd be a struggle that starts as a the white out happens. The door to the back room is locked and Susie has to kick it down. As they get in, the room is a mess and there's some black shards embedded in the wall, showing he at least gave it a black eye before it got him.

Also this is making me imagine if things went to plan and Asgore and the seven flower niggas jumped the Knight. / would make for a good fangame actually. Like a single fight deal.
>>
>>4007796
>showing he at least gave it a black eye before it got him.
make it audible, maybe during the white out you barely see his silhouette take a wild swing and catch it in the face, and that's part of what shows the outline of who the knight is. give the sound of the hit it takes a nice crunch to suggest that asgore has some power behind his swing.
>spoilers
yeah I'd give that a play.
>>
>>4007789
>>4007775
This would even justify why Flowery is such a Gary Stu. Asgore literally created him as the most powerful and perfect character possible so he'd be strong enough to help against the Knight.
>>
Someone on twitter pointed it out, and I'm sure someone around here has too, but seeing what Susie says towards the end of the chapter made me think about it again.
Why don't they ask Berdly for help?
Sure, he's a bit of a prick sometimes, though he is getting better with that, but he's also *the* strongest lightner we've seen so far, since he was able to put up a good fight against the fun gang by himself in chapter 2, so wouldn't he be the best pick for actually trying to fight the Knight head on?
>>
>>4007792
Sorry about that man. See I kinda forgot these threads on /vrpg/ existed for a while and was curious to see reactions to the new chapter. Was not expecting to see that catbox either but deiced to vent my general frustration regarding weirdos making a married couple that have a biological child into transexuals. Like its not a singular thing for some reason a lot of the twittertard UTY fans really are obsessed with "Trans Ceroba". Frankly I just think these people see any attractive female furry that is depressed and project themselves onto said character. And the annoying thing with that one AO3 fic was that the writter was apparently just a dude, and he decided to add little hints in his story that Chujin has a uterus and Ceroba used to use HRT for no other reason than he thought it was "neat". Frankly regular dudes that are transphiles for no apparent reason are worse than actual trannies themselves in creative spaces. I just assume its cause they have trans friends and are to cowardly to give their former bros reality checks and decide to embrace their deluded ideology. Or they just want the brownie points. Sorry for rambling about stupid gender shit but it's annoying cause gosh a lot of UT/DR fans are such gluttonous fags for their queer slop. At least Dessriel is flat out confirmed in CH 5 and Pizzapants shoots down the over decade long Burgpants x Nice Cream Guy crackship by reacting like a normal person would when their male co-worker catfishes them.
>>
>>4007797
They'd be having a fist fight while the white out is going on, and it'd continue into the other room. That's the reason Susie kicks down the door, she hears the fight going on. And it goes on while she's breaking the door. Everyone would hear it. Hell, maybe the knight zooms into frame just before the white out starts, tries to go for you, but gets body checked by Asgore, leading to the fight. It would also explain why Asgore lost, since the knight is presumably still the knight in the light world, but Asgore is just a big guy in a Hawaiian shirt. The fact that normal guy Asgore hurt it at all in the real world would be impressive.
>>
>>4007800
He'd get in the way of yuri.

nah you're alright, if I had read your whole post before checking what you were responding to, I would have spared myself. Besides there's nothing actually wrong with responding to old posts in these threads.
>Like its not a singular thing for some reason a lot of the twittertard UTY fans really are obsessed with "Trans Ceroba"
yeah I know, I brows the various other communities for UTY to collect art, including the twitter and discord community, and honestly it's not worth it at times having to see the shit they come up with.
>Frankly I just think these people see any attractive female furry that is depressed and project themselves onto said character.
definitely a lot of those and the people that "fiction kin" are nauseating to watch in action. The public server for UTY has like 3 or 4 "cerobas" I think.
> Frankly regular dudes that are transphiles for no apparent reason are worse than actual trannies themselves in creative spaces.
i see a lot of comments online that are this really awkward "wow trans people are so cool" when making a character like this trans.
the stuff you're talking about contributes a lot to why these communities get hated so much honestly.

yeah I could see it, but what I'm talking about with the audible punch, is like a nice lumbering whump sound from asgores fist, followed by the sound of crunching and cracking as those shards are sent across the room like you suggested
and think about it, of all chapters, it's fine that we suddenly get access to more dark shards than we need because we already should have enough by now. or of course we can just ignore them, whatever.
>>
>>4007811
NTA, but actually, agreed.
I think Berdly himself was a lot better this chapter, even if he didn't get as much screentime as he could've.
>>
Honestly fellas I think some of you might be overreacting and taking the depictions of these Flowers larping as humans too seriously regarding their similarities to what the actual other fallen humans must have been like. Like sure im sure there are some implications there, but just look at Flowery for example. He's a very obvious DR version of Flowey but he is barely anything like him as a character, so why not apply that same logic with the other flowers larping as humans. I mean FFS Orange isnt even remotely humanoid, she's a goddamn mouse! I think at most we can deduce what the genders of the fallen humans were, and maybe their races. Basically Yellow was some kinda dumbass whiteboy cowboy, Blue is some gayass ballerina nigga, and for the rest... well its frankly up for grabs for the most part. BTW I think Blue's design is a insult to the concept of a male ballerina, because male ballerinas are very much a thing and dont wear fucking tutus (this personally upsets be because im raised in a culture that considers ballet a high art and use to watch shows when I was a lad). Like him being very clearly black or even a faggot dont get my ass in a twist as much as him being in a tutu. But Toby gonna Toby I guess.

Maybe it'd be nice to not have him get so shafted like that, but for me, I was just relieved he didn't turn into some creep who can't take no for an answer, that would've sucked.
>>
>>4007816
You are late into this discussion, we reached that conclusion even before the chapter released
>>
>>4007813
They would be stuck in the wall probably. Like the knight got slammed into the wall so hard a bit of it got stuck. And of course if you come back later the shards are gone.

And course there'd be the sounds of an absolute melee coming from the other room
>>
>>4007820
Ah yes, I see you read the earlier conversation and are now attempting to rile people up based on that.
You could stand to be a lot subtler, you know.
>>
>>4007817
It would have been better if Susie was oblivious of Noelle's crush and just invited everyone, except for Berdly, along platonically. Then of course Berdly invites himself along and the chance for anything remotely romantic to happen plumits into the negatives.
>>
>>4007816

>some of you might be overreacting and taking the depictions of these Flowers larping as humans too seriously regarding their similarities to what the actual other fallen humans must have been like.

most of us are actually separating them from the fallen children and just dislike them on their own merits.
I actually think the majority of complaints AREN'T about how this affect fangames. Almost no one is worried about Yellow replacing clover, if anyone is at all, Most people don't like blue though a couple do, cyan and purple will fine, no one expects green or orange to replace any fankid.
I assume you just guessed that we would be panicking over the flower designs when really that's not taking place.

well, again most people hate the blue design.

yeah actually that's a big thing there. He showed in chapter 2 weird route despite his flaws, that he had some real good in his heart, and I was worried that in the light world he was just always going to be a shit.
like yeah he's a dweeb but that's fine, people are allowed to be dweebs, and he just wants friends and companionship after all.

What would it play like though? How do you counter the swoon and x slash? I'm thinking Flowery uses his speed to counter the x slash, while Asgore is able to dodge or tank its normal attacks, and the other flowers would be support acts for healing, buffs, debuffs, and extra dps
>>
>>4007826
would be more enjoyable that way I think. imagine an actual festival with all 4 of them together.

What about Omega Asgore, if he becomes the central figure of the fountain and they're all his recruits I don't see why he can't pull an omega form out of his ass like Flowery can.

I haven't seen enough people talk about how underwelming the festival felt, all that build up for years only to feel like a shorter light world segment

Maybe.
I'll be honest, I'm not as optimistic about the future chapters as I was before, feels like things are taking a weird route right now, and I'm not sure that's what Toby was counting on or not.
I do have to hand it to Toby though, he is making me partially agree with one of Oldentale anon's ideas from a while back, even if only because this was a worse alternative.
>>
>>4007838
>How do you counter the swoon and x slash?
simple
the orange soul mechanic introduced in this chapter. make it a special thing that has to be done between phases or something of the fight

oh yeah it was an absolute let down before I even got to the parts I hated the most. I feel like someone might say "toby made it dissapointing on purpose!" but even if he did? that's fucking stupid, this is too far into the game to be pulling something like that for a whole long ass chapter let alone that light world.
>>
>>4007841
I like Aqua, Purple, and Orange since it feels like they play off of their trait from Undertale. An impatient child, a girl who always give up, and a coward who can actually back it up but only when they're in a corner and have assistance. Each of them is defined by a lack of their assigned trait and that lack holds them back.
Yellow and Green are just sort of there, Flowery is perfect, and Blue is shit.

>>4007844
>I'll be honest, I'm not as optimistic about the future chapters as I was before,
honestly the same, it made me more excited for fangames if anything and while I didn't think the chapter would make me dislike fangames, I didn't think it would push me even further towards them?
>I do have to hand it to Toby though, he is making me partially agree with one of Oldentale anon's ideas from a while back, even if only because this was a worse alternative.
I feel like this is so much further off course than any doomposting in previous chapters could have predicted.

I fell for the meme of chapter 5 having a shorter dark world and a longer light world, I usually don't come with these expectations when I play Deltarune, but this time it was just really lame, we didn't even get a single minigame on the light world

Hey if you're into Chujin mpreg then more power to you I guess, just look at that one recent signirsol drawing of the happy couple and pretend the roles are reversed
>Have you seen the way Dessriel artists draw them
Sadly very much so, cut from the same cloth of how they butcher Chujin and Ceroba desu. We really cant have tomboyish girls anyone, they clearly must be trans. The vast majority of Dessriel shit I see is some form of either being transexual, or Dess being a futa, or some other weird caveat that has to sully what should be a cute young couple.

>Flowery is perfect,
I think he was given too much of a rushed arc due to the game needing to give all these other characters attention, so I ended up not caring about his ending properly


>I like Aqua, Purple, and Orange since it feels like they play off of their trait from Undertale
I like them but they also felt a bit too one note, like again, they were fighting for screen time. seth felt like she suffered from it the least, and cyan worked just fine being one note, but everyone else including orange it felt like they were rushed. yeah I fucking hated blue myself. Just brought down every scene he was in. Sig likened Blue to bon clay but I still just can't see it. Bon clay was "glorious". this thing felt lame.
>>
>>4007849
>honestly the same, it made me more excited for fangames if anything and while I didn't think the chapter would make me dislike fangames, I didn't think it would push me even further towards them?
Yeah, it was weird.
I don't think it was like, horrifically atrocious or anything, but it definitely shook my faith a bit, if you could call it that.
Hey, at least most of the fangames are safe and sound, since none of them are aiming to be like this recent chapter was.
>I feel like this is so much further off course than any doomposting in previous chapters could have predicted.
I know, it's astounding.
Really though, I feel like if you could just surgically remove the Suselle stuff, or even just undo Susie being lobotomized to only think about Noelle, the chapter would easily be an entire letter grade higher for me, at least.
Right now, it's a D.

how, as a developer, do you not include ANY minigames in a festival? It should make you WANT to program a couple in even if its just like chrono trigger.

>>4007860
>how, as a developer, do you not include ANY minigames in a festival?
I know right? that was one of the lamest parts of the chapter, I think the Suselle humillation ritual and the dark world made me forget how incomplete the festival felt
>>
>>4007856
Honestly Flowery is such a screen hog already I struggle to think what you could do with him, and the Flowers being one-note is a symptom of all seven of them being included in a chapter and not being more evenly spaced out. I don't mind them being mostly one note if their note is interesting but as is I think you'd need an Undertale like setup to give them all proper screen time, unfortunately Ralsei and Susie being there prevents an Undertale-like structure which would allow you to see multiple sides of the same character by how they react to each other's death.
What in saying is that I want a stand alone chapter 5 rewritten fan game the size and scope of Undertale.
>>
>>4007857
I think my overall opinion of the chapter is lower than yours, which is weird for me because I went in too without expectations, but it was just nothing that I wanted from start to finish.

If you think about it what Susie and Noelle did was really rude. Turning what was supposed to be a nice day out with your friends into a romantic date, one which your single friend is still forced to tag along for. And actively prohibiting him from bringing a plus 1 of his own.
>>
>>4007863

>I think the Suselle humillation ritual and the dark world made me forget how incomplete the festival felt
honestly yeah that feels similar for me. the whole fesitval just faded out of my mind with everything else that happened.

Kris just being left in front of the door to the dark world is hell. I don't care if that boy is against us with every fiber of his being. I want to find him a happy ending somehow.

I really enjoyed this video, the guy is a writer himself so he has a lot of good insights on character writing and why Chapter 5 felt so amateurish and B-Team compared to the previous chapters.
I'm not shilling, I've been following this guy for years and I like his critiques because they're always very on point.
>>
>>4007867
That comment about the "how to draw dragons" never appearing felt really targeted at the fanbase, like Toby was mocking people for expecting that gag to turn into something else

>>4007836
I doomed over Deltarune doing literally all of my new an unique gimmicks at once, but I'm over that now. Now I'm just miffed that the chapters sucked but the wider internet thinks they're the greatest thing ever.

But hey, if they had good taste they wouldn't be normies.
>>
>>4007864

the problem is, flowery's screen time is not well utilized, it's kept purely silly for too long, and it is emotionally distant from the party, in a way that makes his eventual talks about friendship or his death fall very flat. They should have retooled it completely having us more actively come to feel something about flowery through ralsey and him much quicker, cutting out a silly interaction or two, or making some of those hint at "something more sincere about this guy" sooner than they did.

and yeah I'd be interested in a project like that though, I'd be surprised if such a thing happened.
>>
>>4007845
Can you explain how mechanically that would work? I'm not seeing it.
>>
>>4007867
fuck, I might just stop playing the game that very moment if that happens.
>>
>>4007872
>Now I'm just miffed that the chapters sucked but the wider internet thinks they're the greatest thing ever.
NTA, but I actually saw some people on twitter saying the ending wasn't a good ending and that the new chapter had mechanical and story issues, so I think this may be the first time there hasn't been a universal opinion about a DR chapter across the broader UTDR community.
>>
>>4007871
Not everything is a personal attack like the Mike room. I took it as Kris trying to distance himself from Susie and things that remind him of Susie intentionally, he wants to be closer to her but being tied into all the Knight conspiracy shit and his other problems means he feels like he had to keep a certain distance in order to fulfill whatever his promise is. It's not heled by the fact that Susie unintentionally distances herself from Kris and in Kris's eyes starts to replace him with Noelle.
Being Kris is suffering.
>>
>>4007868
Oh absolutely.
It's not even something I have to think very deeply about. It's a genuinely shitty thing to do at face value, and the people cheering and saying that it was a wonderfully written sequence of yuri are fucking idiots and don't understand how bad this looks for them.
the version of the ending with kris holding the baloon with (you) in it is fucking rough. I just want to give the dumb kid a hug even if he hates us
>>
>>4007878
I rarely see things in games as a personal attack, but that one felt too targeted
>>
>>4007842
For one, Flowery already has an Omega form, so it'd feel a little redundant. And for two, I just don't like super Saiyan style transformations. so I'd rather base Asgore just be really strong.

Oh and would this be a party of 2 with support or a party of 9? If its nine, are they doing a ff style relay fight or all at once?
>>
>>4007843
It feels more like he just changed his mind and side lined it for other things. Or he just keeps hyping up shit that isn't actually that important.
>>
>>4007874

notice how fast flowery was moving when he fought the knight despite being worn out?
have it so that the special cutscene slash the knight can pull off is something he can perceive when he's fresh, and with (you)'re power you can almost bullet time interrupt it by crashing into the knight with orange mode (but with a rainbow trail signifying everyone elses power working as one). yeah sure rainbow gay whatever, we got everyone on deck tackling this knight.
so every so often when the knight is going to do that, slow down time enough to have flowery spot he's about to use THAT move, and it's a timing thing to crash into him interrupting it.
Alternatively,
all of your side suddenly gains the power of cutscene by working together, and interrupts the knight with bullshit of your own
>>
>>4007873
I don't really get that, I mean from second one Flowery is pissing off Ralsei, getting too close to Susie, and generally undermining him and Kris with jokes. It made me suspicious of him like Ralsei was, especially with how he was indulging. Susie. Then I started to think he was delusional when he talked about beating Knight but when he turned Susie's words back on him and saw how he wanted to fight for Asgore and his friends despite the short time they would have together it clicked.
I say he's perfect because for me he hit the mark, Toby succeeded in getting the reactions out of me I wanted and honestly I think Flowery already starts off as very suspicious and dangerous seeming, I do see how else you could up it without him pulling something Flowey-esq out of his ass like a fucked up smile. His joking and undermining of Ralsei already makes him seem like enough of a jerk, especially since Ralsei is pitiful and we know he's honestly trying to help unlike the suspicious new guy.
>>
>>4007881
nta but do a tag team
on one side flowery is fully powered by his friends, and on the other side asgore is fighting alongside (you). I want to say alongside his son, but kris is likely on the knights side so you know, it probably wouldn't work
>>
>>4007844
>he is making me partially agree with one of Oldentale anon's ideas from a while back,
Which one? I wanna put it on my Nostradamus bingo card.
>>
>>4007879
Nta, but the homosexuality and romance is the worst part but I like Kris's feeling more isolated and ignored by his friends. I think it could still work if you removed all the romance from the plot. No Suselle, no Krusie, no Kriselle.
No hints of romance or deeper feelings between any of them, just friendship.
>>
>>4007886

>I don't really get that, I mean from second one Flowery is pissing off Ralsei, getting too close to Susie, and generally undermining him and Kris with jokes.
that's the problem, he's doing that the entire first half of the game instead of building an actual character.
think back to tenna in chapter 3, between the stages we got unique bits of characterization with him, made him something people cared a bit more about as things went on.

so I'm saying completely redo how this guy was used.
>I say he's perfect because for me he hit the mark, Toby succeeded in getting the reactions out of me I wanted and honestly I think Flowery already starts off as very suspicious and dangerous seeming,
it seems 50/50 on whether he reached someone or not honestly, because a lot of people either are in my boat just still not caring about him or in your boat being sold on the idea. I think my side of things is people that felt like his characterization screen time was wasted on shenanigans which, while fun, are too overwhelmed with all the other things happening.
>>
>>4007847
Flowery would've been cool if they played up the fraud aspect instead of it just sorta being tossed in there as an afterthought.
>>
>>4007888
Not really a prediction thing, but I was basically saying that the idea of having more of a focus on the other characters doesn't seem as bad now that I've seen something worse, that being the game focusing on exactly two characters in particular.
Like, even if that just meant including Noelle and Berdly as part of the main cast from now on, that'd be better than what we got.
Which isn't a high bar to cross, but you get the idea.
>>
>>4007889
I honestly don't even see the romance as being bad because it's gay at this point. It was just shittily handled romance. I didn't think that the lesbian stuff in (spoiler for a game not related to this thread I guess) signalis brought the game down at all, because it knew how to properly spend its time on what topics.
>>
>>4007889
>No Suselle, no Krusie, no Kriselle.
Kerdly wins again.
>>
>>4007890
I mean the jokes are his characterization, he's imposing and forceful, doesn't want them to take things too seriously, and doesn't want to put them in harms way either who also wanting to indulge in his own fantasy. He's a total jerk and a bad influence, but I think if you remove his humor he kind of becomes too blunt and he's already a bit blunt as he is.
Then again trying to build him from the ground up is basically replacing him with an OC so it's not like his personality or goals have to be remotely similar. For an Anon making a hypothetical fan game I'd say just replace him with an OC golden flower if your going to completely redo him and replace all his jokes and characterizing moments.
>>
>>4007860
I'm beginning to wonder if the team is to blame. The minigames weren't in the plan, so they didn't get implemented. Or maybe Toby just can't into minigames, he couldn't when making chapter 3, that's why it was in dev hell for so long.
>>
>>4007895

>I think if you remove his humor he kind of becomes too blunt and he's already a bit blunt as he is.
I don't want to remove his humor, I want to shift the values of his screentime, how long he gets to be silly, how long they wait before they start being serious
>>
>>4007893
It's bad because it's gay and because it's poorly handled and makes the characters all more annoying and mellow drama-esq. That why I want all the relasgup bullshit removed, except for Berdly's innocent crush on Susie.
Kris can still hit all the same plot beats without literal romance, ntr, homosexuality, or cuckoldry. Literally just remove the romance from all the chapters and you take most of my complaints with them.

>>4007894
Not seriously but yeah, I'm fine with Berdly because the narrative never treats his crushes as anything serious and it's mostly played for laughs and not involved in the mellow drama.
>>
>>4007863
I guess its realistic though. Halloween in a rural small town like that is usually lame as hell. At least it was where I grew up. Not that it makes it any better, video games are meant to be fun, not realistic.

NTA, this has certainly been a very divisive Chapter, the people who liked Chapter 5 have been completely swallowed by wishful thinking.
There's no defending it, it's completely amateurish, the "filler" argument doesn't fly here because not only was the Festival, foreshadowed since Chapter 2 all the way back in 2021, completely lackluster, the Dark World was also heavily foreshadowed, Gerson himself described Chapter 5 as "charred in an inferno of jealously", and don't even let me get started on Asgore doing jackshit the entire chapter.

I'm imagining Toby Fox just gave the retarded tumblr writers a bullet list outlining what roughly needs to happen in Chapter 5, such as:
>Develop Susie's and Noelle's relationship, this is their big date!
>Exposition on Asgore's interiority
>Exposition on Dess's case, but don't go in specifics!
>Asgore growing nutty with his Dark World fantasy
There were so many ways to address these plot points.
>Develop Susie and Noelle
Have them really bond with each other instead of IMMEDIATELY being lovey-dovey with each other. Chapter 5 had these really cheesy scenes with Noelle and Susie during the festival where neither felt like themselves.
Instead, you could've had more controlled, restrained dialogue, Toby already had provided the perfect blueprint with the Diner date from Chapter 4.
>Kris breathes on the mirror to draw pictures, which he used to do with his brother Asriel before he moved away
>Draws Susie, and Susie reciprocates by also drawing on the mirror
>This scene is very impactful because 1. Kris is comfortable with Susie enough to do something that he would only do with his brother 2. It's a heartfelt, creative activity between Susie and Kris that shows what they feel towards each other instead of just telling what they feel like in Chapter 5.
But instead of following this blueprint, they just went:
>This BIG date where both of them FEEL so INCREDIBLE afterwards was the BEST DAY EVER!!!

(cont.)
>>
>>4007915
Honestly I didn't notice anything aside from the Mike humiliation ritual room, then again I don't really pay attention to the fandom, mainly because I don't understand it, and as I said before I had my own explanation for Kris trying to shut away the dragon book.

>>
>>4007922
(cont.)
>And then, have them say REPEATEDELY how this was the BEST FLIPPING DAY EVER!!!
Meanwhile, the date in question happens completely off-screen, what if instead they had whole cutscenes where they would talk about MUNDANE topics, y'know, like people who are getting to know each other do?
>Noelle and Susie talk about their favorite movies, their favorite foods, gossip about Kris, gossip about their family, tell each other their childhood stories, tell each other their interests, have them do things together that match their character (Like how Kris holds Susie like a vacuum cleaner and uses her to eat the snack tray in Chapter 4).
>Exposition on Asgore's interiority
This was, in my opinion, the biggest fumble of the entire chapter. Instead of having Asgore really unfold, and capitalize on his Gentle Giant, afraid-of-his-own-strength trait they just make him out to be a manchild.
I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when Asgore just kicked them out of the Dark World and said "LEEEEAAVEE!!!!" like a 12 year old would.
It's like Toby's writing team never had a father present in their lives, you know what a parent would do? They'd give their kid a reason to leave. Maybe Asgore tells Kris he's about to do something ugly and doesn't want Kris see that side of him, or just tell Kris this is a dangerous place and Kris and his friends should leave immediately.

Writing this is draining me so I'll stop here, but I think I got my point across.
What a load of NOTHING. My only hope is that Chapter 5 was a B-Team chapter and Chapter 6 and 7 are gonna be A-Team chapters.
>>
>>4007884
I could see Flowery abusing his status as a chapter boss to counter the knight's cutscenes with his own. Maybe its like a QTE that you parry with orange mode
>>
>>4007918
there was never any chance of the games having no homosexuality. I've said it before, but toby has always been about this stuff since before undertale, he was just better about not crashing the story with it?
>>
>>4007926
P.S.: All that it was SUPPOSED to do well just doesn't happen at all! No good Noelle+Susie scenes, nothing on Asgore's motivation, nothing on the Dess case. Just a load of nothing!
>>
>>4007926
It's all down hill from chapter 4. Toby isn't holding a gun to your head for ing you to play his shitty lesbian cuckold ntr game, just give up on it already.
There's no defensing this shit or hoping it gets better.

The leats he could have done is have the human decency to not have it be as annoying and badly written as it is. But as it's stands it's a compounding factor of being homosexual, badly written, and being cuckoldry NTR.
>>
>>4007887
Maybe Asgore did some kind of ritual to get temporary (you) power, giving his soul a red outline like Varik's in Hallow's Eve Hack. And do you mean 2v1 or 1v1, but they swap out who that 1 is with each tag?

chapter 4 was really good though.
>>4007933
the gayness really didn't make it any worse, toby just flat out can not write romance and compounded that with just punching kris around.
>>
>>4007939
The way I see it, Flowery having good-ish it intentions doesn't really remove him enabling Susie, change the fact he was an asshole to Ralsei, and did push Asgore into acting worse.
His death is a sort of redemption but honestly he mostly negatively affects the people he interacts with despite him being good for Ralsei's growth. I feel like a Gary Stu wouldn't have those flaws and I like the final battle against him was against him as an equal, both sides are flawed and right now everyone was just fighting for the sake of their own determination. Damn anything else.
>>
Okay so after half skimming half actually reading the happenings in most of the thread, I do feel sorry for the Oldentale creator feeling so devastated. I really hope he doesnt actually throw in the towel, because it clearly means a lot for him and also because I find the entire idea of his setting very interesting. While it does suck I dont think the final boss of the chapter stealing some ideas of yours should be the thing that kills your drive.
>>
>>4007945
No the homosexuality does make it worse, if it was straight the bad romance wouldn't be as bad because at least it would be natural. I can ignore some homosexuality deposit it being a sin and I can ignore some bad writting but both at the same is unignorable.

nta but that one felt like kris being tired from being up all night and putting more personality into his dialogue than normal because he genuinely doesn't want to deal with seeing that letter.

>>
>>4007955
>really? You're looking in this drawer
Kris reacts to literally everything like that when he climbs back in his room. He just wants to go the fuck to sleep and not have to bother with his bullshit.
I thought the MewMew date was funny because yes you do flirt with everyone, although Ralsei and Susie could have laid it on a bit less thick. Not like a 30+ year old Tsundere crashing out mean anything either, she could well and be over it next time she appears.
And I liked Kris wanting to walk Susie home since it puts you in his shoes, your feelin the same terrible things he is right then and I think it effectively produces empathy for him. Even if I hate the fact that Suselle is involved in that scene, it would work better if it was non-romantic and just friendship with Kris still feeling isolated.
>>
>>4007947
I really didn't see any of that stuff when playing. Maybe it was intentional but poorly communicated or maybe it was just bad writing giving the illusion of flaws to a character that's meant to be perfect.
>>
>>4007950
Thanks, but I'm not gonna cancel Oldentale. All that's been cancelled is my interest in Deltarune. At least in anything official made after chapter 4.

>>4007962
Like I said I thought it was all in good fun too, but Susie and Ralsei acting like Deltatraveler characters have me reconsidering it.
>>
>>4007965
Why'd you automatically assume I was the sharty? Its not like I could read your mind and know that.
>>
>>4007975
maybe but keep in mind there are SOME lines in the chapter that make sense. I think at least that one line is understandable
>>
>>4007974
Yeah Chapter 5 is admittedly a very weak chapter and the worst one. I dont hate it nor think its awful. But its disappointing when compared to its other chapters. Still quite enjoyable at times. I'll hold onto cope that the final 2 chapters will swing back up
>>
>>4007963
Does go forth and sin no more mean nothing to you people?

>>4007973
I mean Susie calls him out and Ralsei says things will go wrong if they don't follow the prophecy and he basically has the same reaction Susie does:
>I'm built different
Or he just turns people words back on them. Him and the fun gang are both guilty and you both get power of friendship bullshit to fight it out. Either way in the end your determination wins out.
It's a cool final fight in contrast to the Titan who's a overwhelming for e of nature, Tenma who's desperate and pathetic, Queen who's an authority figure who never truly loses and had to be talked down, and King who entirely down with being the villain and fucking you up.
>>
>>4007972
Well if that stuff didn't bother you then whatever. I genuinely felt like I was playing Deltatraveler when when Susie and Ralsei kept saying "no, dumbass" every time I tried to do anything that wasn't in the script.

It undoes all his flaws by making him right and justified in everything he does. Then it forces me into an artificial conflict and forces me to solve it exactly one way by having Susie and Ralsei intervene on his behalf and to stop me from leaving. Just talking about this makes me genuinely hate him.

I refuse to believe someone who gets hired to work on one of the most anticipated games on Earth is retarded enough to believe the scenes with Noelle and Susie during the Festival were well-written.
It's like a whole Chapter went by focused entirely on Susie and Noelle getting close together. We go from Susie being completely oblivious to Noelle's crush on her, and Noelle being extremely shy and nervous around Susie to be talking about their feelings and their heartbeat. (??????)
But even on the Festival's flavor text, none of the interactions between Susie and Noelle feel like themselves, like their traits had to be overriden or else they wouldn't have anything to tell each other.
>>
>>4007978
Maybe it makes sense in universe, but it still felt like there was intent behind it. Like the writer had a grudge against the player. Felt like Deltatraveler where Kris is constantly punishing the player in petty ways for being the player, and then the other two join in.
>>
>>4007979
I wouldn't hate it if it didn't dumpster any chance of a good plot with its ending and if people didn't constantly praise and defend it online. Seeing people call it good or perfect makes me genuinely hate it.
>>
>>4007987
Flowery and the fun gang both being guilty doesn't erase either of their flaws. It highlights them by comparison. Although personally I'm mixed on being being able to Kill Flowery in his final fight it feels unreliable Susie or Ralsei would want to kill him, especially with how the fight is framed, but at the same time I would have really liked being able to kill him.
>>
>>4007992
Yeah fair. All it does is embolden the people who like super hate it. Its just a very middling chapter when compared to everything else. Like the Asgore hype that lead nowhere was such a fucking letdown imo
>>
>>4007990
>I refuse to believe someone who gets hired to work on one of the most anticipated games on Earth is retarded enough to believe the scenes with Noelle and Susie during the Festival were well-written.
then the question remains

>But even on the Festival's flavor text, none of the interactions between Susie and Noelle feel like themselves,
yeah but their dialogue together in chapter 4 also didn't feel like themselves.

people are handwaving it away as just "oh that's how awkward people in love act" as an easy excuse for shit writing.
>>
>>4007985
It could've been pov of unknown character or with Chujin. And I was thinking more about the chair being fancy and handmade than about it being Chujin's specifically. Maybe it could just be some fancy antique chair. The point is sexual deviancy happening on a mahogany claw foot chair.
>>
>>4007991
I get what you're saying anon, and I felt that about the other scenes you mentioned. like how many scenes they had a character actively stop you from going the wrong way or doing the wrong thing (in a series where they know the player wants to test what happens when they go the wrong way). The mouse did it, susie did it several times, I think you're right, but I just personally didn't pick up that vibe from that one dialogue at the start.
>>
>>4007982
In mixed on that but the lamp shading in Mew Mew's room was worse.
>>
>>4007997
>how did this happen?

>>
>>4007993
Neither of them are guilty. Flowery was just trying to help Asgore get over his obsession and trying to help Ralsei be strong and assist Susie in doing her thing and trying not to die himself. The whole conflict is arbitrary and forced.

And you don't have to be able to kill him, just don't have Susie and Ralsei heal every attack you do. Have him heal himself or make him invulnerable due to cheating.
>>
>>4007998
>The point is sexual deviancy happening on a mahogany claw foot chair.
Well it's not really too terribly deviant, but yes, I will attempt to make the chair fancy.

Anyways that room dialogue, when examined next to everything else, looks really meanspirited.
>>
>>4007989
the split between fight and act is just a holdover from UT at this point, toby should have got rid of it since chapter 1
weapons are pretty much worthless since you cant beat the flowers by fighting and if you dont recruit darkners you are actively losing content (and the stat boosts don't even matter since they reset between chapters)

I still blame gigi for this, she was the biggest suselle shipper and one of toby's closest friends (almost on temmie level)
I bet the "big moment" she "roared" during toby's reading of the game's script was either the confession in ch 5 or maybe an actual kiss that will happen later
>>
>>4008002
Yes they are Flowery is legit trying to push Asgore away from his family in an unhealthy way Asgore doesn't, belittles Ralsei despite his good intentions, and indulges Susie's escapism despite the fact that the very thing causing her to sleep on the floor in a pitch black school closet. All the whole thinking he can beat the Knight and just power through the prophecy by ignoring it, which he can't.
While Ralsei thinks that they need to follow the prophecy or things will go wrong, which he's right about but he also doesn't have enough efficiency to try to change for the better. While Susie also doesn't engage with the prophecy intelligently and is perfectly willing to follow it when it gets her things she wants and can call herself a hero.
Kris is actively involved in an evil conspiracy. Not to mention we see Flowery try to back up his talk about beating the knight and he fails and we see how he tries to help Ralsei and although he succeeds it causes them to become enemies due to personal emneity. Not to mention how Flowery doesn't want to close the Dark Fountain, keeping Asgore in danger, despite the fact he knows it'll kill him and all his friends.
Flowery is flawed and so is the fun gang.
>>
>>4008009
>I bet the "big moment" she "roared" during toby's reading of the game's script
fuck, I forgot about this.

Also isn't it funny that toby said when he described the burgerpants scene to his friends, they apparently didn't like it? and yet it was one of the few things handled very well?
>>
I hate the Mew Mew character and it is not JUST because of the trans symoblism. The entire point of Kissy Mew Mew at first was a funny gag that demonstrated how dumb magical girl animes sounded when Alphys brought it up how someone so smart is obsessed with slop so infantile. But then the switch release made a life sized mew mew figurine a secret boss and had the mad dummy posses it and cause all sorts of troon bullshit. It was a very minor thing in the grand scheme but because its anime and trans shit the character because way more popular in the fandom then it should have been. And now here the bitch is being the first character to be a boss in both games, and not just any boss but a secret boss. The entire message/symbolism for the fight is just an inferior version of Spamton's but with feelsgood trans allegory shit.
>>
>>4008008
NTA, but I stumbled on that and I thought that was a loony toons bit. I walked away with Orange in a sort of walk of shame and she goes:
>"Oh that's the wrong way, my room is that way."
So we turn around and walk to her room, only for her to realize that we were supposed to be walking in opposite directions and she accidentally became friends with the fun gang.
>>
>>4008011
Well the game did a piss poor job of showing it. All I got from their interactions was "oh Flowery I'm so sorry for being mean to you earlier" when he died. He felt like a Gary Stu with "flaws" that barely exist. If those flaws do exist, they did so only paper, without any emotional impact or proper demonstration to the player.
>>
>>4008014
the trans allegory doesn't work as well in DR because the body has its own will and wants which pretty much is the fight most trans shit is about
>>
>>4008015
yeah maybe so on that one. I'm not sure I can give it the full benefit of the doubt but it's possible.
>>
>>4008016
They literally exposit all of that just short of turning to the screen and telling the player point by point what their conflict is about I don't know how you miss it.
>>
>>4008019
Because they only exposited in a chapter that's full of empty exposition. Show it by doing something. They made him look too cool if he's deluding himself. And they made him too powerful and too capable. Then at the end they just sorta say it without showing it.
>>
>>4008021
Please the chapter barely had any exposition it all, there was what the Asgore stuff in the latter half? That shit was short.
Not to mention he spends most of the chapter antagonizing Ralsei, literally kicks the fun gang out of the dark world, and when Asgore is actually close to his research he pushes away Flowery and the others to focus on it. Not to mention how much he indulges Susie in the garden all the exposition is explanation and clarification of his past actions, all of which we see, and his power is literally bullshitting fake stuff into existence and it fails against your determination when it actually comes down to it and there's actual stakes other than fucking around with knock off Rudinns in the garden.
>>
So the weird route broke the prophecy?
There was no flower man in it
>>
>>4008012
Toby's friends are all those trannies that go bananas over anything "uncomfy".
Anti-art bullshit.
>>
>>4008024
weird route broke out of the entire game, it is something else and it still isn't the actual ending of the game, the ending is a 3rd path
>>
>>4008023
>and when Asgore is actually close to his research he pushes away Flowery and the others to focus on it.
Which makes Flowery look like the good guy trying to keep Asgore away from all this unhealthy conspiracy madness. Even if I think Asgore was in the right, it really really looks like the game was trying to say otherwise.

>Not to mention how much he indulges Susie in the garden
But none of that felt like a bad thing there. It felt like Ralsei was the one with a stick up his ass about nonsense that he doesn't need to value.

>all of which we see, and his power is literally bullshitting fake stuff into existence
The only thing in favor of this that actually landed the whole chapter was the chest full of fake money. But even then its knee capped by feeling like a knockoff of Tenna's points.

I agree that the premise is good, but he just feels like a Gary Stu the whole game. His schtick doesn't land and all I'm left thinking is "man, what a cheap knock off and what a lame design".
>>
>>4008024
There's no flower man in the prophecy at all.

>>4008040
Kris sleeps through the festival. During which Noelle and Susie have a date where Noelle gets really forward, but Susie likes it. Then he gets dragged out of bed against his will by (you), Susie tells you Noelle wants to see you at the lake, you go there and Susie leaves for ice cream, Noelle does a Junji Ito face and forces you to PROCEED her into the lake and keep doing it so much it stops her and Kris from drowning. Then it fades to white and you're told to insert chapter 7 side B. If you don't PROCEED hard enough, you get sent back to the normal route, but you and Noelle are soaking wet, and Noelle's inner monologue freaks out about nothing changing and being trapped while Susie and her do the normal lake date. People said its kino, but I think its a major downgrade with all the dark romance undertones removed.
>>
>>4008044
Alright, looks like that weird route is getting pretty interesting.
>>
>>4008048
if you mean krusie romance in weird route, there wasn't that much there. also it is clear that suselle's date in WR is her pretty much just noelle giving susie a good time while she is barely caring (she didn't get scared, barely emoted besides just having a plain smile from what I saw), she even tried to give susie all of her cash because she wouldn't need it anymore after PROCEEDing to a better place

Not to be confused with-
>>
I couldn't stop myself from convincing myself to develop a game in the same vein as UT/DR.
I've had a story brewing in and out of my mind for the past 13 years, but never did anything with it. Most of the details have either slipped, or been thrown out because they were thought up by a teenager without any writing skill.

I gave myself a big push of motivation by thinking of how I could potentially mash up three separate game ideas.
I guess I just don't know where to even start with trying to write a story as impactful as this one. I know these games have relatively simple stories on their face, but the deeper layers feel like some true artistry.
Maybe I should just start from the beginning, and the end, then just step-stone my way between them. Most of the plot details are just decently well fleshed out characters and moments rather than broad strokes of how events need to progress.

Gameplay wise, I want to lean farther into the turn based strategy rather than the bullet hell or timed button presses. Perhaps a stamina system dictating how often you can take actions and of what types. (so, doing a heavy attack consumes more)

I know in my mind that trying to jump into the deep end and make the next Undertale is a fool's errand, but I also know that I need to actually get to making it at some point, or it'll live and die in my head alone.

Also, I'm concocting a terrible idea on how to induce a Toby-Dream. Lots of sleep deprivation, way too much melatonin, and a shuffling music player set to play random synth notes of various lengths from 2-10 seconds to keep my mind from ever getting fully acclimated. Pair that with an always on microphone, and some self discipline to speak any thoughts out loud, and I might actually end up killing myself that way. It's a terrible idea that no one should ever do, but the fact that my brain concocted it up is kind of amusing.
>>
>>4008129
Huh, are you talking about a new project?
Are you a new dev?
>>
>>4008131
I've been on-and-off practicing programming for a long while now, but never to the point of actually finishing something.
Recently (like, around the last year or so) I've actually stuck with a project I've been working on, but the scale of it is almost definitely too big.

But yeah, never released a game. I know I'm not even talking about an Undertale fan game or anything. Just a game heavily inspired by it.
>>
>>4008133
Well, even if whatever you're working on isn't a fangame, it's still neat to hear about something inspired by UT anyway.
A UT fan's game.
>>
>>4008135
I suppose I'm really just looking for some advice on the "sauce" that makes a Toby game so good. Not necessarily so I can emulate it wholesale, but so that I can use that as a way to find my own sauce. Maybe I could get some recommendations for other media that invoke similar feelings, or something that might get the ol' creative rivers flowing.

Maybe I also made that post prematurely in hopes someone would bounce some ideas off of me, and I'm probably just staying up too late.

>I suppose I'm really just looking for some advice on the "sauce" that makes a Toby game so good.
Either have a fever-dream/divine revelation, or go read Homestuck and let that sit in your head for a while.

Then you find other ideas that fit with that one and put them together, eventually you'll come up with the direction you're building towards, and from there coming up with more will only become easier.

The hard part is actually making it,

Now it sounds like you've already got plenty of ideas, so all you need to do is organize them, see what fits together and where, so you can actually start building the thing.
>>
>>4008136
In general the sauce is just Toby making what he likes and trying to make it good. Now people here try to imitate Toby's specific style of making what he likes and making it good, because they're trying to make something that feels like and fits in with his games, but if you're not making a fangame you really don't *need* to do that. You still can of course, but there's not as much of a pressing need.

I find a lot of what makes Toby's stuff good is that he focuses on strong characters to drive his scenes, and tries to have a thematic purpose behind basically everything. I'd suggest going over Undertale with a fine tooth comb to see how he made the characters so likable, and how he interweaved the themes into everything. Then looking through other media you liked to find examples of similarly well executed characterization or theming.
>>
>>4008137
I don't think the fever dream is actually what makes Toby games good, I think its Toby's writing style, unique sense of humor, and skill that do that.
>>
>>4008144

>>4008145

unironically a major cunt move and not just because Kris is being forced to watch being irrelevant while the 2 yuck it up together.

I dont think either character has Noelle's brand of major malfunction. I think it's implied she's in a constant state of disassociation and has fantasized suicide since her sister vanished and she was forced to act like a good little girl. I don't know how else to read Susie's WR comment of Noelle handing her all of the money she had. You don't need money if you're going nowhere. Her pure seething hatred & contempt for the NPCs in her life walking around like nothing's wrong also tells me that Noelle has been insane in the membrane for a long, long time.

I may just do the same to the East Quarter as a subtle jab at chapter 5. It is meant to be the entertainment district of Old Home, maybe its like a festival year round. I could put some minigames in, have some dates, and include lots of fun flavor text in between the normal story beats. All optional of course.

Kris is the same NPC he's always been, and he's desperately fighting against you every time you try to break out of that mold.

Someone literally went out of there way to search for a bunch of Undertale Yellow AU's.
Specifically just for Ceroba focused ones, so they could draw a whole ass collection of different Ceroba's.

Ok, but how would she react if she seen you with Reynault? Would she unleash an inferno of jealousy?

Narrative analysis guys
But I'm pretty sure the intentionally well written relationship between Susie and Kris and Noelle's explicitly admitted disgust for anyone she can't use as an outlet for her power fantasies, especially and explicitly Susie wasn't accidentally written that way.
Just like it seems pretty explicitly apparent that Toby didn't want the flower niggas to be representative of the fallen humans who's attributes they clearly don't demonstrate in a chapter that put it extremely on the nose with one of the Floradinn's lines just straight up being
>Flowers are better than real people
But, that's just me.
Same with it being fairly on the nose that you can't call for help outside of a dark world you're occupying with Toriel's line.

Toriel trying to call Kris's phone which some people forgot from chapter 1.
You CAN'T call people in the darkworld despite the cellphone seemingly retaining everything else about it's phone-ness.

Yeah, but doesn't being in the DW make it unable to reach you, both in ch1 and ch4?

That would be Starlo even if he isn’t the most popular character. He has the most female fans, and he is the most popular UTY character on Tumblr and 2nd most on AO3. He technically is the only one with a fangame dedicated to him even if it was made to correct a flaw from the OG UTY

Three words out of the entire rest of the statement you are exclusively reacting to emotionally like the statement was
>ABLGUGHGHHGH TRICYCLE TONY HAS DONE IT AGAIN, TORIEL IS THE BESTEST MOM EVAR x3

few arts have dropped, some of the local devs were worried at first, but I think overall it's just a matter of getting back to business.
>>
>>4008558
Depending on how long you've been gone...
Oldentale's Developer pulled a Yellow before he got Blue'd
Took people a while to realize The flowers are obviously not representative of the fallen humans, and are there for fun but to my understanding not much productive has happened lately. And maybe Yagi likes bomberman and the extra pink soul is some kind of reference, or that's something that's just made up I don't actually know
>>
>>4008558
Overall reception of the new chapter is negative to neutral around here
Oldentale was *almost* cancelled because chapter 5 did Oldentale's anon main idea before he could, we had a lengthy discussion about it and now he's feeling better and will soon go back to work on the project
DRY1anon said he's going to reuse some of the new assets, and will probably add a small festival with minigames to DRY1 at some point since he also found the actual Hometown festival to be underwhelming
Naranja anon complained a bit about chapter 5 using some of his ideas, mainly the platforming, he said the Orange won't influence anything on Val
The other fangames remain unaffected

Ch 5 was carried by Flowery (which is also the most controversial character in terms of Love/Hate moreso than the other Darkner Antagonists). The other Flower humans also ranged from great to "i dont care about you dude" (aka Blue). The regular Darkner enemies besides the Flower Rudins were pretty meh to me and not that memorable. Asgore showed promise but was really wasted and all he did was vagueramble wtithout saying anything concrete. The light world stuff was lame and the Festival was a big letdown. Not even saying that regarding shipping stuff but in general. It was hyped way to much and was just a generic town carnival. There were some good moments like with Burgerpants.

Generally the humor and charm was still there, but this was the weakest showing of Toby so far, even lower than CH 1 imo. The highlight again was the Flower Man and Ralsei. Kris is still a cunt to us and Susie is kinda a unintentional cunt at times. Ralsei was also a cunt this chapter but in a good way, his nice guy persona is finally melting away and he's becoming more honest and genuine with himself and his emotions
>>
>>4008597
I think the Festival could have had more effort to it and personally, I enjoyed the color flower guys over Flowery more.
Not like that I'm pissed at him or anything, but you know, having a diet rudy clone for a chapter wasn't very interesting.

chapter 5 was a nightmare scenario for Oldentale, seriously it did basicallly everything it could to screw me over and was somehow worse than my worst possible predictions. I got over it though. It fucked up my sleep cycle for like two days and had me getting out of bed in a bad mood thinking about chapter 5.

I also drew this. Which now that I think about it, probably also accurately depicts my first reaction to that battle in chapter 5. (also that Yellow scene is the only good part of that chapter)
>>
>>4006771
>>4006777
Yeah... I'll do my best...
(I actually think Chapter 5 is okay, but it is one of the low points, which is especially disappointing coming from Chapter 4)

>>4006780
I hate to break it to you, but I'll probably take the same approach that >>4007889 suggests. I don't intend to touch upon romance because I'm largely impartial to ships. I also don't think proper love can blossom within the story's one week time frame, but then again this is also true for close friendship.
I may possibly retain Noelle's crush on Susie since that aspect was established early enough for most Deltarune fan media to include. But that could be vestigial since unless I have Susie outright reject her, there wouldn't be any payoff: I don't plan for her to even notice Noelle has feelings for her.

I don't like the idea of being described as Blue'd

>>4007142
Still mulling on how I intend to do the flower Darkners: debating between straightforward flower anthros or using flowers as a motif like Lancer. All I know is that I'd like to have the yellow and blue flowers be nods to Clover and Melody/Mylo in some way.
Also, I do find the idea of "plantners" very interesting. I'm undecided on if I would include that, since I assumed plants would just be regular Darkners. If so, perhaps the idea could also apply to animals.

>>4007345
Sorry about that. I have hardly made any progress since late last year, so right now I don't have anything of substance to share. Beyond last year's engine demo, it's really just a loose outline of the plot, as well as concepts/drafts for characters, settings, and a bit of dialogue/music.

Wouldn't say I was better. I was still basically having a low burn crash out for two days straight.

Faster threads aren't always necessary, but in the case of UTY recent threads have grown stagnant and repetitive (also hardly about UTY anymore).

>>
>>4008748
all the other flower sovls are pretty different from the way the human souls are usually portrayed in fan content, except for JUSTICE, who looks like the most popular yellow soul take atm, plus,
>>4008748
theyre like an exaggerated parody version of clover, his actual sense of justice is extremely flimsy (just like how pacifist clover isnt particularly known for bringing justice or punishment) and is so biased that they cant even bring justice against their blue friend despite not being any different from their other friends they didnt hesitate to tie up (sort of like how geno clover hesitates around Martlet despite her not being any different from the other monsters they didnt hesitate to kill), when JUSTICE actually locks into the idea of justice, their eyes go dark, sorta geno clover-style, and, again, there's the obvious pacifist clover parody stuff, if nothing else, Toby is heavily referencing undertale yellow in his game

He's a fucking cowboy. Woody, Clover, Cole, Yellow, they're COWBOYS. Are you surprised the cowboy themed around the justice soul is, in fact, similar to the cowboy themed around the justice soul?

Nuh huh, it's an insult towards Yellowfags. That's what Gerson would've wanted.
>>
>>4008770
no, its just an observation i've noticed, Justice is, at the very least, heavily inspired by undertale yellow, also, its not necessarily an insult, you can poke fun at things without it being an insult.
>>4008772
nice way to ignore all the other stuff that line up with the "justice is inspired by uty clover" huh

There's plenty of people here with opinions, some which are really dumb, but they're not necessarily all trolls.

I doubt it and even if he is, those kind of idiots need to be disregarded rather than engaged with. I do get it, there's value in defending things and all that, but when someone is that stupid, defending things against them is just feeding into their stupidity.
I love me some sig art but if someone is making a statement like that, then I'd rather just tell them to eat shit faggort, rather than take them seriously.
>>
>>4008470
the more I look at this, the more I think that Martlet just totally forgetting that her transformation would obviously pop her bikini off is on brand for her. Just a complete mental slip on her part. God I love this bird so much it's unreal.

also speaking of oddly specific fantasies, I want to stand in defense of Zenith martlet despite her being far stronger than me. The manly spirit within me demands it.

and then maybe, if I'm wounded, she becomes even more powerful, cradling me as she sets me off to the side telling me she'll handle things from here, calling me her knight in shining armor even as I lay broken

ah, autism.

if he's on the pacifst route, we already know that HIS heroes wouldn't attack their allies in a team fight. He's more likely to try and fight everyone alone than he is to attack his allies.

heck even his original hero Bardock fought alongside his team before they were killed
>>
>>4008917
Val will gladly let his bench warmers go first to fight all the weak villains. He'll just wait for them to finish (or job) so he can fight Flowery.
>>
>>4008918
that feels about right. The waku waku in him howls with excitement over the REAL fight. Hell, if he remembers that Goku was great friends with Krillen, he might even tell one of the others great job as he steps in for THE REAL FIGHT

Bardock died fighting alone, that's what made him so cool

Quetzali would veto that
>>
>>4008923
He died fighting alone, after all of his squad that he always fought alongside were killed. Bardocks whole blood bandana thing, remember?
No one would know this better than val, the point being even a less than "good" val isn't attacking his teammates, because bardock was his original hero. He's more likely to let them take their own fights, and if he's like goku instead then he'd probably step in before they got killed.
>>
>>4008924
Nobody will deny him of the death he deserves!
>>4008925
>Bardocks whole blood bandana thing, remember?
Of course, all Val has to do is wait until his team is dead, then he can soak his bandana in their blood (and dust) and die fighting an impossible battle, just like his hero!

The last time he tried that, Quetzali constricted him and he was betrayed and trapped in hyperbolic OOB chamber

If he tries to escape, then she would temporarily join his party and do the bread crumb glitch to teleport him back into OOB time chamber

inadvertently, doing that involves spending a lot of time around eachother. you can't properly counter someone you don't know.

At first he's on the "thinker" position which makes it easy to punt him like a football, then he's on the "one arm raised and mouth open" like in that one Berdly sprite, the bigger surface area makes for a better shield, he can also be used like a hammer by the team if they are cordinated enough

Somewhat relevant to the Val discussion, apparently there's an invulnerability glitch that lets you basically parry bullets by spamming the act button in platforming segments.

Could be fun to use as an actual mechanic in a fangame or mod.

a game focused around using bugs to get past things would be nice in a way.

I would make it but I made the last thread and I don't want to push my luck

I made the thread before that.
>>
>>4009063
Do you have any topics to discuss about UTY or DRY or other fangames?

If we don't have much to talk about, then we'll just get flooded with people fleeing from deleted deltarune threads
>>
>>4009068
The thread only needs to be subtle, don't mention UTDR by name and don't put any popular characters on the image
>>
Having just woken up, I am pleased to see someone in the last thread reposted my Wikorb, saying they were forever "greatful" for it.
I do wish they'd have spelled "grateful" correctly though.
>>
>>4009068
something about fangames and fanworks, maybe about what fanstuff people are working on in light of recent events.
>>
if Justice (yellow flower darkner) went thru UTY instead of clover (lets say he has a human soul):
>his journey would always stop at papyrus due to justice willingly letting himself get captured, even when Flowey got rid of papyrus, justice would always give his soul up after inevitably learning why asgore is catching human souls.
>flowey gets tired of him (sorta like Ralsei towards flowery) so flowey just throws him on the uty path, gives him the save points and stops talking to him whatsoever, only continuing to nudge Justice through because flowey still wants to get to the human souls.
>Justice's personality would clash hard with dalv's, like, Dalv would be weirded out imo, so when he asks dalv for help on how to go back home, dalv just lets him through.
>ironically enough, he and Martlet would get along pretty well, theyre like silly enough that their dumbness would bounce between each other endlessly, his journey could stop here if he asks martlet why she's trying to capture him because then he'd give himself up willingly (yknow, the 7 souls to break the barrier thing)
>so Flowey kills martlet and Justice falls into the next area, boom, he'd get along with starlo very well at first, engaging on starlo's cowboy leader fantasy larp in the most perfect way starlo could only dream of, but yaknow, the town is not big enough for two justice-obsessed cowboys, so they'd begin competing against each other for leadership over the feisty five
>Ceroba is a pretty good way to end his run since Justice's immatureness technically makes his soul pure enough for the kanako serum, and Justice IS dumb enough to fall enough for anything she plans to do, in fact, i bet Ceroba could straight up tell him everything and he'd pull a pacifist clover early and rip his soul out on the spot for her to save kanako with it

Hey Oldentale anon, can Racter eat chocolate?
I had an idea for a small drawing I could do and I wanted to make sure I wasn't accidentally going to draw Racter being poisoned while trying to be nice to him for once.
I think chocolate's toxic for real birds, but IIRC you said at one point that he's not based on any bird in particular, so maybe him being a conceptual bird lets him bypass real biology or something.
>>
>>4009087
oh jesus I didn't know that chocolate was toxic to birds but apparently it's terrible toxic. I had an idea a while back for martlet trying to bake some chocolate something or another up, and now I just got the idea of her getting sick from it and needing to be nursed back to health.
>>
>>4009072
Do you just have the same exact idea for every new thread?
>>
>>4009089
if it works it works, and it usually works.
>>
>>4009087
I didn't know chocolate was toxic for birds. Now I'm wondering why humans seem to be the only animals with such a high tolerance to theobromide.

Anyways, I never really thought of him as being incapable of eating chocolate.
>>
>>4009072
Could make it a thread specifically about fangames you liked as a concept, asking for people to post ones they liked, not specifying Undertale ones.
>>
>>4009088
Sorry your bird girlfriend got poisoned.
>>
>>4009094
the thought of her not even knowing that she couldn't eat chocolate is a funny thought, though the ensuing poisoning is of course, less funny.
>>
>>4009092
I think chocolate's poison to most things, I thought that was the point of it evolving, to kill things that eat it, like small animals and whatever eats plants.
Anyway, thanks for telling me, I'll try and do something quickly-ish.
>>
>>4009094
It's okay they are monsters they can eat it
>>
>>4009096
>>4009092
I'm now imagining racter eating chocolate just fine while Martlet is seething because her specific lineage of bird monsters can't.
>>
>>4009093
I'll get something put together here shortly then unless the anon with strong opinions against that thread type wanrs to make something first
>>
>>4009097
Oldentale has some more restrictions on what monsters can eat what things according to what animals they're based on, like canid monsters not being capable of eating chocolate apparently.
And I want to adhere to these rules if I can, so I don't do something terrible on accident.
I'd rather any terrible things I do be on purpose, anyway.
>>
>>4009098
I feel like Racter would be able to eat chocolate just fine, but then see another bird monster start convulsing after eating some, and then start to worry that maybe he actually can't eat it and it just hasn't started affecting him yet.
>>
>>4009102
>but then see another bird monster start convulsing after eating some, and then start to worry that maybe he actually can't eat it and it just hasn't started affecting him yet.
oh fuck I didn't even consider his hypochondria. that's funny.
>>
>>4009096
>>4009098
Now I'm wondering if monsters would eat chocolate at all? If they were capable of being poisoned by it based on the animal they resemble, would there even be chocolate in monster society? I know there was chocolate in Undertale, but it was a single bar in the whole game, was meant for a human, and could have been garbage from the surface.
>>
>>4009087
monsters have different anatomy to animals so they should probably be able to eat chocolate without dying
>>
>>4009103
Maybe he'd feel a little safer about it if he had the human soul with him, like maybe he'd think he got the human trait of being able to eat chocolate safely, even though he could already do it by himself just fine.
Hm, maybe you could apply a similar idea to his overall character, Racter being just a bit emboldened to do things now that he has the soul, and learning over time that the ability to do these things was in him all along, and the soul was just reassuring him throughout their journey together.
Well, that's besides the point.
>>
>>4009105
Monsters in UT have magical food, they probably can eat anything as long as its magic
>>
>>4009105
Eh, humans grow peanuts, and some people are allergic, so maybe it's like a more extreme version of that.
>>
>>4009107
>spoilers
that's the kind of journey I want to go on with the bird.
>>
>>4009095
Its ok because Undertale works on JRPG logic, so you just need an item or spell that cures the poison status effect to make her right as rain.
>>
>>4009100
I mainly just did that for the sake of a gag. You don't have to take it too seriously. You can if you want to, but you don't have to.
>>
Someone wishes to discuss fangames it looks like
>>
>>4009111
yes but then we lack the "nursing her back to health" part
>>
>>4009102
Maybe chocolate poisoning in monsters comes purely from them seeing animals get poisoned and believing they'd be poisoned as well.
>>
>>4009112
Really?
You seemed a lot more insistent on it when I first brought up my criticisms of it back when I read your Puzzle Corps story.
>>
>>4009115
Well now we're just talking about the Orkish power of belief at that point.
>>
>>4009108
Maybe monsters eat magical chocolate then. So even dogs and cats can eat it.
>>4009109
Yeah, but its not like 70% of all humans are allergic to peanuts.
>>
>>4009110
I find it slightly amusing how something I wrote like a throwaway joke idea managed to appeal to you like that.
>>
>>4009116
Insistent for it because I wanted to do it. I'm not saying every monster has to be deathly intolerant of chocolate, just that they can be if that's what the story calls for.
>>
>>4009117
Monsters run on nothing but feelings and vibes. They don't even really have flesh, just magic arranged in the shape of flesh. They're more like daemons than orks, biologically speaking anyways.
>>
>>4009114
You, being a human, don't have magic and she didn't have any cure poison items on hand, so you had to muscle through it and keep her healed up the old fashioned way to fight the tick damage.
>>
>>4009120
I'm not saying every monster either, I just assumed it'd still adhere to being based on whatever sort of animal they're based on.
>>
>>4009123
Well my general answer is do as you please. I'll probably stick with dogs being poisoned by it because I think its funny, but I may make an exception for birds if it gets in the way of things.

Unrelated, but I guess that means I wouldn't be able to get Reynault chocolates for Valentine's day still, would have to get more creative.
Wonder what he'd like...
>>
>>4009122
hmm maybe there's answers there.
I think this is an unpopular opinion but I like the idea that some things still have recovery time for monsters even with healing magic
because monsters have such high hp stats compared to humans even if they take so much damage, so certain injuries cap out on how much of it the healing magic can recover per day.
if a monster with bones breaks said bones, then they can only recover lets say, 100 hp of that per day, which is a lot, but if a monster has 2000 hp, then it may still mean they have to take a week to recover from certain injuries (that would be multiple months of recovery for a human)

Also, to be clear, I wasn't like, actually mad in that other post I made (>>4009129), I just mean that I like to try and be as accurate as possible when doing anything with the characters here, both because I just like to be as "on-model" as possible when drawing things (don't start), and also because I like to try and show my appreciation for the characters when I draw them, appreciation for detail, appreciation for who they are as characters, both visually and writing-wise.

White chocolate also contains chemicals toxic to canines.
That gag gift idea is funny though, but I think I'd like to also get him something that couldn't be construed as an attempt on his life.

How well done the weird route is has hardly anything to do with politics. Except possibly for the rose censorship.

Undertale Rose (working title), I only got notes, a half written script and a few concept sprites.

Picrel is labelled cyan because I have been messing around with ideas for about a year before settling down on my current path. This sprite isn't final but the broad idea for the human is this.

I've been vagueposting about this project here for a while because I don't wanna blow up some reveals early and it's fun to do it.

Also on chapter 5, I was really worried I was gonna be beaten to the punch to some things again but I came out of this very safe. Pink doesn't affect me at all because she isn't a flower, HA! But I'm probably gonna leave a Mew Mew reference somewhere now.

Yeah but I call it rose so I can be a unique snowflake. Felt like not doing a canon soul to have more freedom in how it connects to the UT lore.

It's full of "cyan artifacts" from that early concept, hence the bowtie and the old timey look (cyan was first, hence the victorian-ish look) but I liked it too much to waste it.

The only problems she has to personally deal with is that she has a humie bitch bullying her, her dad being racist to her bff (and crush), and said bff moving out in a week, making any contact with him very difficult.

Honestly its mostly the kind of stuff a lot of kids have dealt with in varying degrees. She has a pretty ordinary girl life with no big trauamtic experiences like Noelle had to deal with. But im pretty sure anything bad happening to Clover/Cole might change that.

>>4009241

>>
>>4009242
DRYanon should try to keep vagueposting and incidentposting to a minimum. Either specify what the incident was, or just try not to talk about it. Chapter 5 has shown that playing "I'm not touching you" with plot reveals is stupid.
>>
>>4009248
DR is different because we are 5 chapters in and entering end game, with last chapter having the stakes raised through the roof, and yet chapter 5 regressed a lot, which lead to disappointment.
DRY's plot still has to kick up.
>>
>>4009249
I'm just saying, vagueposting is not really a good thing to do. You can foreshadow, but I don't think having characters repeatedly refer to an important event as "the incident" without any further elaboration is good writing. That's something it should probably avoid in the future. Especially since it only has 5 chapters total.
>>
>>4009128
>>4009239
Man this makes me realize despite basically being an idyllic small town in the New England region, Hometown actually kinda seems to suck ass. A lot of the inhabitants are either extremely stupid or downright assholes, the local police and clinic seem to be useless in doing their jobs, the school's main teacher for kids that arent tolders is a pathetic fatass weeb lizard thats a creep. The eating options are the shitty Ice-e's, bullshit from Sans' market, or the QC Diner (which seems to be the only decent place to get food). The only other comercial area is Asgore's failing flower store and thats it. The person who runs the town seems to be a bit of a frigid bitch thats despite supposedly seeming competent really isnt showing it in the town she's running. Overall it'd be an awful place to live and start a family in, no wonder all of the kids there have some form of major malfunction.

Despite being an arid desert town Eastwood actually seems more comfy and livable both in design and its inhabitants, even if it also operates in the constraits of "small video game town that acts as an overworld". Dalv is definitely a way more competant teacher than Alphys and honestly I have faith that Starlo is a better Mayor than Carol is.
>>
>>4009250
>but I don't think having characters repeatedly refer to an important event as "the incident" without any further elaboration is good writing.
I think it was fine for chapter 2 to do this a bit with the secret boss since that's still less than the halfway point and it was the first time it was dropped. It also made sense that nothing was revealed about it since cole knew what it was about and there wasn't other people there that logically should have had the situation explained to them.

I agree mostly with what you're saying, but in chapter 2 its probably fine. day 2 whatever

well I was talking about how he kind of did do it in the dialogue for the secret fight how the guy talks a lot about cole remembering his promise, and the fight is all about going through acts to remember the promise but as a player we still don't know.

It doesn't seem like the hospital is incompetent in DR. As for the food, its leagues better than what an actual town that size would have, which is jack shit. Really the only thing its missing is a dollar general and it'd be on par with the town I live in, in terms of stores.

The real issue is the lingering dark presence and demons that skulk around the place. That's a real deal breaker.

yeah that's fair I think.

Probably?
At this point, almost nothing of what I loved about chapter 1 is still in the game. And no, the chapter 5 memberberries don't count at all, not what I meant or wanted.
Chapter 2 grew on me despite it's issues and 5 might barely do the same.

Alright, I only had the time to get halfway through this tonight anon, but I like it overall. I like the pacing, how there's an actual characterization going on between them, and good lord
the things she was trying to do with her tongue!

The tense you are writing in throws me off a little, but you are being consistent in it, it's just a less used tense for 3rd person to keep everything in current tense, so I had to adjust to it.


I haven't gotten all the way through because it's just been one of those days, but when she mentioned she was going to be able to listen for someone coming up the stairs, but then put on something on the tv, it felt contradictory.
the wording of some things felt a bit awkward in the very start, but it felt like it started getting more natural as they got to their room.

I'm gonna read what more I have time for, but I'll probably have to finish tomorrow so I wanted to comment now.

Good lord man the things she did with her tongue, I may have to steal that for my own imagination!

alright, I'm sorry most of the replies to you have been me, I thought I needed to go to bed, but I read a couple extra lines and got a second wind. More people need to read this, and you should try posting it in the next week thread as well if it doesn't get spotted that much this time because it deserves the attention.

The tenses weren't bad or a problem at all, it was just different than the last several things I read so it threw me off, but you handle it fine
and I recognize your writing. it was good,
both really cute and hot, but also awkward at times in the kind of way that a first time going that far type of situation should feel. there was a tension while reading it in that I wondered the whole time if they were going to get walked in on, and in your writing somehow you just manage to keep up the tension in a fitting way at all times. It was also sweet having them fumble through it and clearly want each other and not be sure how to handle it.

I thought the ending with him being straight forward with "auntie" was going to be uncomfortable, but it came across as "yeah I can see that cole might be this kind of person, with such a sense of honor that it drives him to do that. Ceroba's dialogue didn't "feel" as dry as Ceroba normally feels to me, but I don't remember if she has a change in tone in dry due to having not had her life fucking ruined at this point.

I do still stand by the very beginning before they're in the room having some awkward wording. i am starting to get maybe a bit too tired to pinpoint why, because as I reread it, it's not bad, but there were some moments when I first opened it earlier today that caught me funny.


you should consider doing more of this or like this. it felt like more than smut.

Having Alphys as a gf is like having a giant rat that lives in filth as a girlfriend.

Mew Mew Magic is a pretty obvious spite the obvious pick as well. Previously people were trying to fit The World Revolving, Big Shot, Black Knife, and to a lesser extent Hammer of Justice into a sentence or code that would help reveal the Knight's identity. Mew mew Magic, even more so then Hammer of Justice (which Gerson gives song of the sea theming), completely ruins. Not to mention how Susie and Ralsei lampshade the fact that we're expecting someone cool new and original, but instead we get a Jevil-tier quest and a re-used character compared to what we got for Spamton, ERAM, the Knight, and Gerson.

I liked the pre-chapter 5 idea of there being a flower with a friend inside her who was a Toriel replacement, or at least trying to be one for Asgore. Considering as is Green is just sort of there, replacing her with a creepy Toriel homunculus who tries to be too much like the original seems like a good angle. It could add more to her relationship to Orange and Aqua as well since those two are the kids(?) of the group and Aqua has a lot of Kris-like traits. Well Ory comes across more as a childish woman to be but you get my point.
In that same vein, replace Blue with a hard-ass that has a heart of gold but is hypocritical and doesn't pay up. Blue still has that second trait as is but it plays second fiddle to his whole annoying:

I’m working on a Deltarune fangame and wanted a second opinion on the outline.

Unfortunately the outline is too long for a post, so here’s everything in one hastebin page for convenience.

>>4009565

>>
>>4009565
Why are random words highlighted?
>>
>>4009570
Holy! I had no idea this existed. You’re a godsend, thank you.

Here’s the script in a more readable format:
https://rentry.co/po74tnp7

>>4009575
I see where you’re coming from. Having the Knight appear so suddenly after you enter the Dark World could feel jarring or rushed. Do you think the climbing sequence should have another event between itself and the knight fight, or does an act 1 Knight fight feel bad on principle?
>>
>>4009589
Not him, but I think defeating the Knight right after the events of chapter 4 comes across as too early. I understand the implication here with the Shadow Heart is that it's not truly dead (or may possibly even be a fake), but considering how unstoppable it has been depicted as in canon, I'm really not sure the cast at dark LV 5 is strong enough for them to straight up kill it.
I also think the Knight being an Act 1 encounter makes it difficult to believe everything you fight afterwards is stronger than it.

I'd like to say more at some point, but I'd like to reread and let it stew over for some time first. I suppose I can at least say the gameplay gimmicks seem interesting.
>>
>>4009544
Starlo's only flaw that like most monsters he's almost kills a kid because monsters kinda just cant help themselves at doing that, intentionally or not.
>>
>>4009565
>Susie reflects on her growth. She explains her family situation sucks but Kris, Ralsei, Noelle and the rest have given her a true family. A better family.
Seems a bit heavy handed to me. Too much tell, not enough show. I would suggest being very careful to imply these things rather than directly state them and make sure they feel natural in the conversation. Maybe if she were directly talking about what she just saw Toriel do, it could be framed as like a "I know how you feel, man" sort of thing rather than just her explaining her life story for no reason beyond exposition needing to happen.

> They panic and break the window open on the door,
Why would they panic? Its normal for the shop to be locked at night.

>. Susie is alarmed at Kris’s reckless decision
If they do have reason to panic, then it seems to me like Susie would be the one to break the window. She's the type to do rash and destructive things like that.

>Kris fights the Roaring Knight. Eventually, the Roaring Knight ends the battle by running away, but is pinned by Ralsei.
Why is Kris fighting the Knight? He usually avoids it whenever possible and sand bags when he can't.

>and kills the Roaring Knight.
A bit early for that, isn't it? That feels like something that would happen late in the chapter. Also Asgore still jobs here, which I would consider to be an issue. If you're going to have a winnable knight fight, I would say you should have it start at half health and imply that Asgore put it at half hp before you arrived in his own fight against it.

>The Shadow Mantle
You should also explain why its doing that.

> revealing a twisted convergence of IMAGE_FRIEND and Asgore.
So he got possessed/absorbed by FRIEND?

So what of the asylum and flower and field forshadowing from chapter 4? Are you just ignoring that entirely.

Also, while I can't say any of what you did to Asgore is bad writing. I do personally dislike it and it does feel a little out of nowhere.
>>
>>4009608
>>4009565
The heart thing I do think is out of place though. We don't know if monsters even have hearts, nor if they would remain after they die, and an actual heart (as in the organ, not a soul that looks like one) seems like really intense imagery for the series.
>>
>>4009589
>or does an act 1 Knight fight feel bad on principle?
Nta, but I think it kind of lacks fanfare and makes the knight's death just seem like anti climax. Killing the knight feels like its should come at the end of a chapter, and killing it at the midpoint would be about the upper limit of extreme subversion.
>>
>>4009565
So is this meant to be an explicitly horror take on Deltarune, or just your idea of what chapter 5 should've been?
>>
>>4009565
Too much tell not much show
>>
>>4009609
I should add that this could work in an explicitly horror Deltarune take, it just wouldn't in something that's meant to be like normal Deltarune. There's a different audience for that sort of thing, and a lot of the normal deltarune audience likely wouldn't be into that thing. It does absolutely an audience for it though, as shown by things like Lost Deltarune.
>>
I think I've figured out another reason chapter 5's weird route fell flat for me. It completely strips the player of control and freedom, killing the evil power trip it previously had, and robs the whole thing of the "freedom at any cost" theme which had its main appeal up until now. I bring this up here because it will affect my writing in the future, and I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way.
>>
>>4009630
I kinda get it since it barely had any gameplay components when people were clamoring for more chapter 2 style weird route, but I still liked it and want to see where it goes, specially after how disappointing main route was
But to keep this on topic, just add gameplay into your 2nd routes instead of making them glorified cutscenes

I mean specifically in the context of Deltarune and how this might relate to how you're writing something it's pretty blatantly apparent that it's the Illusion of the freedom you think you can get by foresaking the freedom you already had
This applies even to Noelle who Is glossing over the fact that "doing Noelle things" is itself also a choice, even if she wants to engage in sadistic, violent, or powerseeking behavior
>>
>>4009635
Why would they hate each over? Just because of UTY callback?

I don't think he would hate him, just be slightly annoyed.
Kanako would be concerned that her thoughts may have shaped the dark world though
>>
>>4009634
I don't think that addresses the issue. The problem here is that for me, the weird route was me losing at cards, flipping the table, and shooting the dealer. Now its like the dealer revealed he was wearing a bullet proof vest, took my gun, and is forcing me to lose at gunpoint.

The fix would need to be narrative. Focus on the power trip at the expense of literally everything else. Kill everyone, break everything, until there's literally nothing left, because if I can't have it my way, then no one's winning at all.
>>
>>4009640
That will happen in chapter 7B

Oh come one, one mediocre chapter and some of you are acting like it's completely over. I'll only consider Deltarune to be washed if Chapter 6 also turns out to be mediocre as well. Ch 4 was arguable the best chapter so a mid pie like Ch 5 coming right after it it inflates the perception of how bad Ch 5 is. Its definitely the weakest chapter and I was disappointed too, but it wasnt horrible or even bad. Just not up to snuff compared to previous chapters.

nta, but while I loved chapter 4 (I still think 2 was better), I believe the Anon you are talking to disliked chapter 4 as well.

Also, Personally It felt like some of the writing style was like "other team members" did some of the writing, which has really got my hopes in the drain. I'm gonna give chapter 6 a chance to prove me wrong, but my hopes aren't up.

Also on this, honestly It felt like a genuinely bad chapter to me. When the sensation of "I'm ready for this to be over" hit me It caught me off guard. This isn't a series that I expect to get that feeling on. Even when fangames are at a low point generally I'm still looking forward to finding more interactions and such.

it felt like when I went back to play seiken densetsu 3 years later and found it to just be too long with too little enjoyment along the way.

>>4009663
could mean any number of things from being more lame susselle stuff to some big oogie spoogie reveal. I feel like chapter 5 was too far in to be playing this game of half reveals and hints. Like it really should have been the time to drop the hammer.

I think Fangame devs should take note of this in how they pace their games honestly.
>>
>>4009659
I understand. I do think Susie's behavior was genuinely kinda cunt-y and a regression of her growth in Ch 4, but I do think the Chapter was important for Ralsei learning that he doesnt have to pretending to be the goody two shoes mage/healer of the party. Ch 5's only really good aspect was the Flowery-Ralsei dynamic. Cause all the antics with the other flower humans, and even Asgore was kinda pointless and went nowhere. Oh and the secret boss was awful. Not in terms of the fight itself, which was quite fun, but it being fucking Mad Mew Mew again and the entire symbolism of that fight being an inferior version of the Spamton fight, but with "wholesome" transexual tones about body acceptance.

Oh and its been said to death but the festival fucking sucked ass. Besides Pizzapants getting a GF 2 times out of 3, and learning that Normal NPC is probably the most dangerous guy in the town, it was underwhelming. It was like every other post-darkworld wander across hometown except it happened before the Dark World. (BTW I dont really much care for the shipping wars regarding Susie, Noelle, and Kris. If I did i'd probably hate this chapter even more desu). Overall a poor showing but not bad enough for me to hate it

>the truth is toby still wrote all of it
we don't know for sure, and it's not just about stuff being gayer than usual (toby's been all about the gay for a very long time). The phrasing of things just felt different than how Toby would word things in most scenes.
Stuff like when yellow went to the punishment doors? The pacing of the humor beats felt VERY toby, but like 90 percent of the game felt like "written by the guy who heard of undertale!"

>When the sensation of "I'm ready for this to be over" hit me It caught me off guard. This isn't a series that I expect to get that feeling on. Even when fangames are at a low point generally I'm still looking forward to finding more interactions and such.

Yeah I honestly did feel this around the middle part of the Chapter when you're fucking around the Castle dealing with the other Flowers bullshit. Besides the highlight of Yellow's suicidal tendencies i was really just not into it. But those feeling ended when with the Flowery confrontation and how he revealed his agenda and the hypocrisy of Susie and Ralsei regarding Castle Town. That yellow fuckboy was to good for the Chapter he was in IMO.

yeah the "it feels like a fangame" complaints are valid, but most people just laughed at le funny flowers and shut their brains off
because how fucking dare you have expectations for a story that is entering its final act to explain some basic things we have been waiting to learn for years
anyway at least this shows that as long as you can write better than this your game might be well received
>>
>>4009672
>But those feeling ended when with the Flowery confrontation and how he revealed his agenda and the hypocrisy of Susie and Ralsei regarding Castle Town
sadly, those didn't land for me. I got what they were going for, and conceptually I like the idea of what flowery could be, but his actual scenes at the end in game fell flat for me.
>That yellow fuckboy was to good for the Chapter he was in IMO.
he's one of the ideas that I kind of don't want to let rot. I might write something stupid with him like that conversation between him and asgore in a hypothetical "roaring rematch" sometime.
I don't hate him, he just didn't give me the feelings I know he was intended to.
>>
>>4009662
No, I'm hateposting. I genuinely hate chapter 5 and I only hate it more with each passing day. I'm gonna delude myself so I can set myself up for more pain when chapter 6 comes out. There is nothing the game can do to fix what its broken in chapter 5. At best it can offer a narrative held together with scotch tape and a written apology for ruining things so badly. But it clearly has no intent of even doing that.

Half the reason I hate it so much is people continually defending it and saying its not that bad, when it is.
>>
>>4009674
it's frustrating watching how dismissive of complaints many people are but you have to expect this shit with how the internet is in general.

People twist their spines in a knot to try and explain why asgore couldn't have possible revealed any actual information when the answer is just "find another way to have him reveal it that does make sense!"

but yeah, 5 out of 7 chapters is too far in. hell even if there are actually more than 7 chapters which would be bad imo, 5 chapters and 7 years in is too long to string the audience along without any ACTUALLY solid reveals.

You know its kinda funny, most of the low iq fans that will eat anything up will say the loved everything about the chapter and praise it to kingdom come for being extremely gay, but most of them genuinely seem to hate Flowery. Meanwhile here most of us seem to be at a consensus this Chapter sucked and Flowery was one of the only decent parts of it. Like im pretty sure the only reason I didnt throw in the towel and just decide to watch a playthrough instead was because I was genuinely interested in seeing Flowery's whole deal (as well as what was going on with Asgore, which turned out to be disappointing vagueposting)

I was thinking, I like writing those soft, more tender moments with Clover and the people around him post barrier, where clover is coping with things he's dealt with, but I realize it also conflicts a bit with how much of a hardhead he is (though he's just a kid and it still makes sense to me).
But I think it works better if he's trying to just push through things and it's the people around him making him slow down and deal with it.
Hmm, and you know, it doesn't always have to be the same kind of softer moment.
>>
>>4009681
I did dislike Flowery when I played. It took an anon explaining his character to me for me to realize he's actually pretty good in premise. The game just executed him poorly. I do still dislike the execution, but not as much as I otherwise would.

Honestly just makes all the people meatridding Mew Mew even more frustrating to listen too. Mew Mew is genuinely one of the worst things to happen to UT/DR. Yeah sure, what the setting filled with wacky monsters needed was a bootleg anime cat girl thats possed by a transexual ghost that's an asshole psychopath. The Mew Mew fans were already absurdly annoying after the Undertale Switch released, and seemed to be way to vocal of a minority despite it just being a secret boss for a specific version of Undertale. But I guess transexuals are just massive attentionwhores. Now with this chapter they'll be even more front and center for months, how fun. Like, even as transexual rep I feel like this character is an awful example both as a character and a concept.

>, but I do think the Chapter was important for Ralsei learning that he doesnt have to pretending to be the goody two shoes mage/healer of the party
Even that fell flat, because that character wasn't Ralsei, it was a different character wearing the same name and face that was put in there so they could force this "character development" rather than having it happen naturally, or cutting it entirely if it couldn't fit.

>Besides Pizzapants
Genuinely the only good part of the chapter.

>BTW I dont really much care for the shipping wars regarding Susie, Noelle, and Kris. If I did i'd probably hate this chapter even more desu)
That's a big part of why I hate chapter 5 (not the main reason mind you, there are other really big problems) is that Toby has teased ships for years, and made said ships integral to each character, then picked the worst option and dumpstered every ongoing character arc for the sake of it, then continues to tease other ships while doubling and tripling down on this one. Alongside throwing in the occasional veiled NTR joke to twist the knife.

nta, but I feel like that fell flat for me on account of how poorly characterized he was throughout the chapter, how utterly done I was with things by the time I got there, and how forced the whole conflict feels on account of how poorly written Susie and Ralsei were this chapter.

I mean my only connection with the fandom is these threads, chapter 5 killed most of my interest in Deltarune, I haven't looked for fanart or even read the comment section of the OST on Youtube, I will still play chapter 6, but I no longer care about the fandom's opinion (outside of here)
>>
>>4009675
>I might write something stupid with him like that conversation between him and asgore in a hypothetical "roaring rematch" sometime.
It wasn't a rematch, but an alternate take where Asgore created the flower kingdom specifically as a trap for the knight. The fun gang wouldn't even be involved.

It's a little up in the air like most longstanding traditions, but it's somewhat imported from the Norse who believed that the plant was hardy and healthy for remaining green in the winter, but not aware that it was robbing its host of nutrients.
It's Genus name
Phoradendron literally translates as "thief of the tree".

ah yeah I remember, just for some reason calling it "rematch" feels right but I know it's wrong.
I guess it's a rematch from "my" perspective since I was really wanting a good knight fight so I'm just being wrong you know?

But yeah, I'm not sure what to call it off hand.

oh, I haven't looked at the OST either, I think Flower Man was the only song I liked and I only looked it up because it was recomended to me, this has never happened to me with the previous chapters, the more I think about it, the more I realize how apathetic I have grown to Deltarune.
>>
>>4009710
I somehow survived not becoming a cringe Undertale Teenager back when it released a decade ago and now I have to witness said Undertale Teenagers becoming Man Children, as well as the rise of the Deltarune Teenagers (which many of the Man Children like to groom). It really is a painful thing to witness. But it's like a car crash in slow motion, I cant just seem to look away.

I don't think they will. The game is miserable to play all at once, completely exhausting, and you can feel the tonal and artistic whiplash every time you change development eras. Like just going from chapter 1 to chapter 2 and then from chapter 2 to chapter 3 is jarring, I can't imagine how bad going from that to chapter 5 must be.
>>
>>4009712
nta, but Flower man feels like the second weakest final boss theme in the game behind Guardian. It has good moments, but the overall thing is just kind of forgettable. Not at all like Chaos King, Killer Queen, or TV Time, which all have really progression and constant melody.
>>
>>4009714
Back when UT released I was obssesed with it, but that obssesion only lasted for a few months, I moved on and never looked back at it, until I played Deltarune Chapter 1 one year after its release, I forgot about UTDR again, then played Chapter 2 (one year after the release as well), I was never too into the fandom, it was UTY that gave me this brainworm and made me care for CH3+4 release.
>>
>>4009721
its my favorite final chapter boss theme, and I liked Guardian too so...
>>
>>4009706
>>4009718
if DR were all released at once like originally planned, I would assume it would be mostly chapter 1 like or more UT like since toby was working by himself
getting a team added a lot of new stuff like toby would never be able to program all the new gameplay segments by himself, but like people said back when ch 3+4 released, it felt like the game lost a part of its soul since now the art is "too good"
>>
>>4009715
Somewhat amusingly it also makes the adjusted weird route imagery more fitting, since while mistletoe can forcibly make plants wilt and die by stealing their nutrients, it does so by embedding roots into its victims.
>>
>>4009725
Sorry anon, but I'm gonna have to break your neck. That's just the way it is.

On a serious note, chapter 5 feels like a monkey's paw wish. It does "everything I wanted" from chapter 4 in the worst way possible. I wanted a more fun final boss with some personaliy, so its like Toby said "alright, wise guy, if that's what you want then here it is" and gave me a gary stu and an army of sub bosses that all strangle each other's characterization by fighting for screen time. Along with generally ruining the story by forcing "lighthearted fun" scenes that feel completely out of place.
>>
>>4009726
>I would assume it would be mostly chapter 1 like or more UT like since toby was working by himself
I wish so badly that we had gotten that game instead. Too many cooks spoil the broth, and Toby works best under limitations.

And now its lost the rest of its soul with the writing changes
>>
>>4009722
>Back when UT released I was obssesed with it, but that obssesion only lasted for a few months, I moved on and never looked back at it
True for me as well, but I didnt really ditch UT. I still enjoyed it but I keep myself far away from engaging with the Fandom. Hence why I probably survived not becoming a lobotomite or groomed.

See I have these phases between many months were I go from forgetting UTDR exists to being really into it again. It's why I miss months of threads here all the time. And I hate to sound like a shill or whatever but Undertale Yellow really was like the best experience ive had with anything UTDR related on par with Undertale itself and Deltarune Ch 2. Like I think my UTY infatuation was the longest lasting one ive had with the franchise, and honestly I still am yellowrotted to this day. Thats probably why I stick around here time to time because I do have faith in fangames and so far ive been ive been quite impressed with DRY even if it isnt Deltarune quality in terms of looks (I know there are two DRYs but im referring to the one that has two chapters in its belt). And there are quite a few other fangames that are a variation of good imo, even if many of them arent complete.
>>
>>4009706
>Can't remember where I heard this but the original plan was for deltarune to be released all at once
I'm pretty sure that's what toby said back when chapter 1 came out at the very least. I bet the cope of his plans were a lot smaller than now.
I fear the game is falling victim to some amount of bloat

Its almost fine for a first playthrough, but its a slog when you replay the game, Deltarune really feels like an anti replay game
>>
>>4009722
nta but, while I liked Undertale, it didn't do too much for me. Then Deltarune chapter 1 came out, and I've had a non-stop obsession with it ever since. Even after having serious problems with chapters 3 and 4, and genuinely hating chapter 5 and not wanting to see what it does next, I doubt Deltarune will ever leave my brain.
>>
>>4009738
Even if its mostly just a reskinned shorter version of Undertale with dialouge changes, Overtime is still my personal favorite fangame. Like, it was the only complete Undertale fangame for YEARS until UTY finally stepped up to the occasion. I do wonder if they'll ever make a remake of Overtime thats higher quality.

nta but, undertale itself hit me hard and hooked me, but it was one of those things that fadded away and came back every so many years. It's just something that holds a special place in my heart. Deltarune was cool and I loved chapter 2
spamton was literally me but that too fades and comes back every so often.

UTY on the other hand hit me with an outlook change that I was never expecting. I always saw fangames as being kind of "eh I don't see the point" but then I played that and yeah, sure it has some big flaws, but it altered my whole brain chemistry. Made me see the value in creating things even just because you have a worm in your head that says "create this thing." Maybe that's something I should have already felt and understood but yellow hit me with it hard.

Yeah Ch 2 really was the fucking Zenith wasnt it? Like I had the best time of my life playing it and then discussing and shitposting on 4chan about it for weeks on end.

It was the opposite until chapter 5, and even then it whiffs the execution by making the escapism still better than what Asgore was ignoring it in favor of.

>>4009752
I guess people just really vibed with the cyber world and early internet vibe. Also honestly it had the strongest showing of Darkners. Queen, Spamton, Swatch, Tasque, etc etc. (okay lets admit Spamton was doing quite a lot of heavy lifting for how good the Chapter's darkner cast was)

Also it had Noelle and Berdly in it joining in on the antics. Thats frankly something missing that made the other chapters a weaker imo, no other characters from Hometown actually tagging along the party.

Despite my misgivings with Tobias' writing sometimes I have faith he isnt going to just make it a generic "escapism bad" message and its way more nuanced. Flowery's entire thing was countering Ralsei's ideology on how the Darkners and Dark Worlds dont really matter. Still Susie is clearly really digging herself into this fantasy it seems and its already showing how its negatively affecting her friendship with Kris. If Kris wasnt such an ass even on the routes where I try to be a good guy i'd feel more bad for the dipshit.

>>4009758
>okay lets admit Spamton was doing quite a lot of heavy lifting for how good the Chapter's darkner cast was
Queen was really good too. And the best darkner from chapter 1, Lancer, made a return in a smaller role.

Spamton was the best character from chapter 2m but I liked Tenna just as much, as for the humor, I don't find UTDR to be funny most of the time, so for me chapter 2 was like chapter 1 and Undertale in that sense, I actually think I laughed the most with Chapter 5 despite not liking it as a whole

I feel like I could give the Agent Smith speech about this being "the pinnacle of your society, before you started turning everything over to us, at which point it really became out society". Just replace "us" with the rest of the team and "society" with game and you've got it.

Tenna was great. Probably my favorite character in the whole game. But he's a different thing from Spamton. The Sword Route stuff comes close to the lurking evil of chapter 2 though.

Yeah not showing any shade at Queen, she was a damn good character too and did the "quirky goofball villian" thing pretty well without it being annoying. And of course Lancer and Roulx are always a treat. Wait... fuck thats another reason why CH 5 sucks, no Lancer or Roulx, and unlike in CH 4 were it can be excused for the more serious tone of it (and also since CH 4 is paired with CH 3 we already got our fill of Lancer and Roulx antics), there really wasnt any reason why those two couldnt be part of CH 5. Missed potential there for many comedic moments.

>Not only do they not join, but it feels like the game holds genuine malice towards them. Especially with how Berdly and Catti are treated.
Yeah, poor guys. I feel like Catti would be a perfect fit as a dark world companion because of not only the occultic bs but also cause its becoming very clear she was involved in some fuckass ritual with Kris that might caused the Player SOUL to Posses Kris.

Mo is great. Really fun character, has a really clear and glaring moral flaw in how he sells to Clover even on the genocide route, but in the pacifist route, I imagine him being someone that other monsters are surprised to see stopping by Clover's memorial frequently.

I really like how in return to form he gives Clover that card, and while the characters suspect there could be ulterior motives, I can't help but feel like for this one particular cowboy kid, there's no catch.
>I feel like I could give the Agent Smith speech about this being "the pinnacle of your society, before you started turning everything over to us, at which point it really became out society". Just replace "us" with the rest of the team and "society" with game and you've got it.
feels like the era of deltarune that inspired the most fanworks in general, though I could be wrong. I really hope toby hasn't actually handed stuff over to a "team"
>>
>>4009765
Yeah Tenna was a character that I had a very rapid "Ugh this guy is an annoying dork" to "I love this guy" mentality with. Like when Ch 3 started I thought (Oh great, we have another quirk chungus villian thats just a fusion of Queen and Spamton as a tv sexy man. Toby can only write one type character.) but then I actually liked him. I had a similar process with Flowery but it was more so (who the fuck is this? what the fuck was Toby thinking?) with the flower man.

Maybe im retarded but ive always found the dumb catchphrases that certain characters have that make no sense to be the funniest shit ever. Like PIPIS, Glooby, and Jarona.
>>
>>4009764
>Especially with how Berdly and Catti are treated.
NTA, but I feel like Berdly has more potential as a party member when it comes to the actual story and how he would interact with the other characters, while Catti feels like she'd really only be used for exposition about whatever "ritual" she and Kris did and for having unnecessary romantic drama with Noelle and Susie, which sounds less appealing at this point.
>>
>>4009773
>and Jarona.
as someone who didn't ultimately like Flowery all that much. his goofy lines like that were really good.
>>
>>4009771
I like Mo because he's kinda an anti-sans. He is a constant throughout the game and is always at stands selling you shit like sans. But he is like, super non threatening and a coward. (also they both have blue as a dominant color and are short). Both of them are on that bullshit salesman hustle though (man its always the salesman characters that are best for some reason)
>>
>>4009771
>. I really hope toby hasn't actually handed stuff over to a "team"
He's had to for a lot of it. His hands are almost unusable for his work most of the time, according to him at least. So that means he has to get other people to do stuff for him while he merely directs. The only thing I'm certain he still does is composing, but even then it really feels like that hanging out he did with Zun last year was him getting Zun to guest compose for him.
>>
>>4009773
>Jarona.
Jarona's a pun, isn't it? Like its a song name, but also something to do with flowers, because those are both things Asgore likes and Flowery is trying to be the most likable thing for Asgore possible.
>>
>>4009704
>we've got some fangame and story archives going for the stuff people make around here.
The games archive is outdated. There have been at least two updates for DRY since then that I've been putting off adding.
Is there anything else I'm missing? I'm sorry for completely neglecting it the last two months: I got lazy, then got busy.
>>
>>4009767
>Man, you've just got xenomorph tastes. Completely alien.
I doubt I'm the only one, my tastes range from pretty normie to more niche, but nothing too insane. It's not like I hate the humor in the games, it just falls flat to me most of the time, chapter 3 came close second as the funniest chapter to me, that moment where Roulx appears in the Zelda game is top 3 funniest scenes in UTDR to me.
>>
>>4009774
Catti could have been more, at least in the chapter 2 days. She had that thing with jockington and that occult stuff, but hadn't yet succumbed to the yuri curse. Plus her beef with Susie could've been interesting if it wasn't just over yuri.
>>
>>4009779
I think it's a jab at how sticom characters have stupid catchphrases that mean nothing. Like you might not realize it but Flowery is kinda taking a piss at the show Friends. Even his character theme sounds a lot like the Friends intro.
>>
>>4009776
>(man its always the salesman characters that are best for some reason)
it's really easy to give them very unique personalities without it coming across as weird or unfitting. Who else to just "make things happen" but a salesman? When Mo sents his entire business plan crashing and burning to make up a new one on the spot? just feels fitting.
Sans hustles though, I tend to assume are ultimately fake. I can't actually remember if he ever charges you any G or dollars for any service he provides.
>>4009777
>His hands are almost unusable for his work most of the time, according to him at least.
I thought he got a surgery for that.
>The only thing I'm certain he still does is composing, but even then it really feels like that hanging out he did with Zun last year was him getting Zun to guest compose for him.
chapter 5s music didn't feel like "him". it felt like looking up youtube remixes of DR tracks. Even if some were good.
>>
>>4009780
>I'm sorry for completely neglecting it the last two months: I got lazy, then got busy.

>>
>>4009781
Were there any gags you actually liked In Undertale, chapter 1, and chapter 2?
>>
>>4009782
Yeah, I think if I heard this idea before the recent chapter came out, I'd have mostly agreed with you, but now that we're in a post-chapter 5 world, I think all bets are off now when it comes to what characters are actually going to be written well, like how chapter 5 is easily the best we've gotten to see of Ralsei, with him being more of an actual person with a backbone now while still being a little goofy, but chapter 5 was also the worst we've gotten to see of Susie, with her character being completely lobotomized to be focused primarily around Noelle despite not displaying any real attraction to her beforehand and at the expense of her relationships with her other friends that she's known for way longer.
I think we've hit a point where whether or not any given character is going to be written well is just completely up in the air now, so I'm not sure I trust the idea of adding new characters into the main story without them getting messed up somehow.
>>
>>4009783
My Jarona is very obviously a pun on My Sharona at least. I think I remember him making some other boomer rock references too, which would make sense. He's basically just trying to OD Asgore on memberberries so he'll forget his troubles and stop slowly destroying himself. He probably got it from the 70s and 80s hits radio station that all dads Asgore's age listen to. Probably got the sitcom thing from Asgore watching reruns on that TV in the attic, since that's the only knowledge of how friends act in the light world aside from how Rudy was described to him.

5G for the telescope, and the hotdogs are are like 35G, but only after you're rolling in the dough in Hotland.

I don't remember hearing about that. Maybe he did, I may just be out of the loop.

it's been a long time since I played 2hu so I didn't think about that as I was playing. Might go through the ost again with that in mind.

While its good in a vacuum, its not Ralsei. He's acting completely out of character. Him being instantly hostile to Flowery and Orange, despite actively enjoying being a doormat for 4 chapters and holding no grudge at all for the bullshit pulled by King, Tenna, and Queen feels really jarring.

>so I'm not sure I trust the idea of adding new characters into the main story without them getting messed up somehow.
I'm talking about what could've been had Toby been working on his own or with his chapter 2 team. Not what the current team could do after chapter 5. I frankly don't care what they do now.

Flower Dance specifically felt like an homage to 2hu soundtracks, particularly 6 and 13. Besides that, nothing else reminded me of it.

>Were there any gags you actually liked In Undertale, chapter 1, and chapter 2?
I can't remember any for Undertale and I replayed the game two years ago, there were probably some for chapter 1. I must have definitely laughed at some point with Chapter 2, besides the "eggs husband" joke, which was so bad it became hilarious.

>>4009791
>it's been a long time since I played 2hu so I didn't think about that as I was playing. M
I haven't played it at all, but I do know the music. Good music is still good music even if I don't have interest in the game its attached to.

>, 2hu was really overdone on trumpets.
It does. I heard the 2hu trumpets a few times in chapter 5, along with a few other familiar instruments (funnily enough, I think musicanon uses the same japanese instrument VSTs as chapter 5 did, since I heard the same strings and percussion in his East Quarter theme)

>>4009793
>While its good in a vacuum, its not Ralsei. He's acting completely out of character.
Agree to disagree.
I feel like this is a good evolution of what we saw of him back in chapter 4, continuing the story element of him being his own person with his own likes and dislikes, his own actual personality, rather than just being a complete pushover on every front. I like him actually being more of a person now, even if that makes him more of a prick sometimes, because that's what people are sometimes.
It feels like he actually developed into a more complex and nuanced character, while Susie regressed into being way more one-note and flat.
>I'm talking about what could've been had Toby been working on his own or with his chapter 2 team. Not what the current team could do after chapter 5.
Oh, I see.
Eh, maybe.
We don't really know what DR's outline looks like, so it's possible a lot of the recent stuff was already decided on, even before the people who were actually working on it were chosen to do so.
Toby's said he's been working towards a singular idea with DR for years now, to the point where I'm pretty sure he's said his plan was already somewhat figured out even back when he was working on Homestuck, so I'm not sure how hard I really buy the idea that too much of this was subject to change based on input from his team, I feel like this could still be a Warren Spector situation, where a lot of the team members are fundamentally just there to carry out whatever Toby wants for his vision, rather than having a lot of input themselves, for better or worse.
>I frankly don't care what they do now.
Well, I'm sticking with it.
I've said it before on multiple occasions, but when it comes to DR, I'm mostly just here to find out whatever Gaster's up to, all the other stuff is just secondary to that. I've been invested in knowing what his deal is since before I was even a teenager, and I've been following it ever since, so I'm not backing off now.
>>
>>4009801
yeah most of it's good, but it's very different. I'll give it a comparison.
>funnily enough, I think musicanon uses the same japanese instrument VSTs as chapter 5 did,
I think he mentioned that he does some of his from scratch? I don't know how this stuff works well enough to understand that, though I'm meaning to learn.
>>
>>4009805
>continuing the story element of him being his own person with his own likes and dislikes,
The thing is that he likes being nice. He was already going against the prophecy despite his biological purpose seemingly being to follow it because he didn't want to hurt people, and generally liked being nice. Honestly I can forgive the Flowery stuff, but him being an ass to Orange, who's basically just a kid, is really unforgivable in terms of characterization.

>We don't really know what DR's outline looks like,
Yeah, but with the old or even no team, he would have been forced to compromise on that outline, a lot.

>I feel like this could still be a Warren Spector situation, where a lot of the team members are fundamentally just there to carry out whatever Toby wants for his vision,
Yeah, but the thing with mental visions is that they're usually blurry and full of blind spots. So even if it seems like "yeah, this is exactly how I planned it" it really isn't, you're just imagining what you were thinking of then as this now because you've seen it and liked it. And sometimes the inverse is true, you have something in your vision, put it to paper perfectly, and it looks way worse than it did in your head, so you change it.

Catti was always a joke character making fun of astology girls. I don't get how people interpreted "occult" as anything serious.

Although I hoped that she would call out Susie on her actions, and Susie would have some character development and actually apologize to her

>>4009807
He makes the samples for his tracker music from scratch. The samples in his East Quarter theme were obviously sampled real instruments. I don't know if they're the same ones Toby used, but they sound pretty similar.

I feel like if this was intended to be part of ralseis characterization all along, then they just didn't lead up to it properly. the shift is too steep.
>>
>>4009815
>Catti was always a joke character making fun of astology girls. I don't get how people interpreted "occult" as anything serious
A character can be two things. Undertale loved to tell a joke, and then later go "actually I was being completely serious". Like with the thrash machine or LOVE and EXP.

Plus I think most people were expecting it to be some bullshit Catti and Kris found on the internet, which unluckily for them turned out to not be bullshit at all. Lots of teen girls like to larp as witches and fuck around with pretend spells and hexes because they think its cool. This is basically just that, but they accidentally did it for real.

Yeah, it feels like they either changed gears suddenly because of a new writer, or if they did have this planned from the start, that they had a start and an end point planned, but couldn't make the transition happen gracefully, so they just forced it.

While a few would probably disagree, Chapter 2 is where Deltarune became Deltarune, rather than just Undertale but different.
>>
>>4009812
>The thing is that he likes being nice. He was already going against the prophecy despite his biological purpose seemingly being to follow it because he didn't want to hurt people, and generally liked being nice.
Yeah, but not universally. We even see in chapter 4 that he can let that start to slip in certain contexts, with him being just a bit harsher on Susie when she was being an idiot, telling her to get out of the way when her healing wasn't enough to help Kris, or his comment when Susie suggests that there could be a "third half" to one of the piano puzzles.
>Honestly I can forgive the Flowery stuff, but him being an ass to Orange, who's basically just a kid, is really unforgivable in terms of characterization.
I didn't really get the idea that Orange was like a super little kid, I thought she was just a prick.
And to be fair, Ralsei was nice to her at first, and usually tried to be nice to her, Orange just went on the offensive from the get-go, so I get him being a bit pissed off at her.
>Yeah, but with the old or even no team, he would have been forced to compromise on that outline, a lot.
Would he have been? I feel like if he was working with literally no one else, the only compromises he'd have to make would just be due to his own ability rather than anything else.
>So even if it seems like "yeah, this is exactly how I planned it" it really isn't, you're just imagining what you were thinking of then as this now because you've seen it and liked it.

I know, but what I'm saying is, knowing some of Toby's strengths and weaknesses as a writer and game designer, I feel like chapter 5 didn't necessarily look *that* much better on paper compared to the screen.
A lot of it may have just been flawed on a conceptual level, rather than having been mangled in execution.

>>4009821
DRY is still the top result on DuckDuckGo

>>4009819
I think at best it would foreshadow actual things, while still being unrelated to her at the same time. I don't get how people found her to be important.
>>
>>4009752
NTA, but honestly, while I think chapters 3 and 4 were beneficial for the overall story, shifting things in a more serious direction as the story moved forwards, I still just really like chapter 2.
I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite of the bunch so far, but it's certainly up there, even if it does some things I don't like as much.
Chapter 1 is great too, but I think some of my fondness for it may just be due to the fondness I have for the time in which it released, about a thousand years ago now.
>>
>>4009824
>Would he have been?
Yes
>the only compromises he'd have to make would just be due to his own ability rather than anything else.
And those would have been some very big compromises that would've had reaching effects.

>A lot of it may have just been flawed on a conceptual level, rather than having been mangled in execution.
A lot of it wouldn't have been executed at all because he would've lacked the resources to even attempt all of that. And chapter 5 most certainly does have a lot of problems with its execution. Like it being too long, or failing to characterize the flowers properly, or Flowery falling flat and coming across as a Gary Stu.
>>
>>4009825
that's good to hear. I assume it will improve over time because even among the people that like chapter 5, yellow doesn't really generate a lot of discussion on his own beyond "some of his scenes were good."
>>
>>4009826
People saw her as Berdly important. She'd show up and play a role, but as a side piece to the main heroes. Though ironically she may be more important than you thought based on her lines in chapter 5. She may very well be important to the lore, but refused any screen time.

Anyways people thought she was important because of her and Kris's shared interest in the occult, her having a talk sprite, and her being Kris's classmate and childhood friend.
>>
>>4009827
also nta, I liked chapter 1 because of the mystical feeling it had. Even if it didn't have much actually going on in it, it had this magic to what was there, and felt like it was really going somewhere. And it was basically Undertale but better musically, visually, and mechanically.

>And those would have been some very big compromises that would've had reaching effects.
I feel like that's just an assumption you can't really make with the level of confidence you're saying it with.
None of us know Toby's real plan for DR, so we don't know what things he's had to compromise on and what things have been completely in-line with his vision, so I feel like it's unfair to assume that his plan is just completely impossible and that he would've *had* to have cut corners or dialed things back like you say.
>A lot of it wouldn't have been executed at all because he would've lacked the resources to even attempt all of that. And chapter 5 most certainly does have a lot of problems with its execution. Like it being too long, or failing to characterize the flowers properly, or Flowery falling flat and coming across as a Gary Stu.
I know, chapter 5 definitely does have those issues, but I think those issues are more due to Toby's weaknesses as a writer and game designer, rather than his ideas being perfect and just getting lost in translation when conveying them to his team.
I think the picture you're painting of Toby here makes him out to be a lot less flawed than he really actually is, I think the fault lies with him a lot more than you're making it out to be.
>>
>>4009831
Yeah, I guess that's fair.
I still think it handled some things a bit iffy, and I wish the following chapters had held on to some more of what chapter 1 did to set the general tone of the story, but oh well.

I think spamtenna brings both characters down but what can you do.
>>
>>4009838
But what *exactly* do you like about him?
>>
>>4009842
I like that his "pizazz" managed to be unique despite the goofiness present in chapter 2. The visual gags being pulled with this whole game show persona but also with his unusual visual style compared to other characters really worked.
He also felt very natural when he was vague posting as he not only actually revealed things with his "the family is fighting again" but also because it felt like he was having an episode so it felt natural that he wasn't explaining things more in depth. His theme was good too.
>>
I think working on this drawing has given me the Ceroba obsession again, I'm kinda wanting to do another take on the idea I used for my second image, her milking an anon's cock with the anon all tied up and being held lovingly by her.
Ah, foxes...
>>
>>4009836
The anon here. For me what made me like him was realizing that he is basically a memeber of the family that, due to his nature of being a darkner, could only sit and watch as it slowly tore itself apart and devolved while he couldnt do anything. I felt for him because I come from family that did nothing but fight and bicker and ruin every happy moment we had together with petty bullshit. It isnt a coincidence that I stopped watching TV with my parents when I was in my middle teens, I was so fed up of their shit because instead of enjoying shows they'd just argue and i'd be in th middle of it. I'd honestly question what the point of having the tv was if thats all they did in the living room. Better to just pirate and watch stuff on my laptop after all. And after I moved out and lived on my own I never bothered with owning a tv of my own anything. Never bothered with watching the old vhs and dvds I used to watch all the time when I was younger even if I had them with me.

I like him because I sympathized with him in a way. And yes he did also win me over with some of his humor and antics but I think the main reason I liked him was because I understood his struggles. If my old family tv was a darkner he'd be more miserable than Tenna, which is uh... really something.

Eh, the image I'm working on now is more of an explicit remake, but that's just because it was (somewhat) recently the first anniversary of me doing stuff around here, so I thought it'd be neat to try and redo my first image after (roughly) a year.
If I do another take on the idea I mentioned in that post, it'll be pretty different from how I did it the first time, since I think the idea is still fun.

I think a few people are into just for the idea of Clover becoming martlets child, rather than any fetishism. Then of course there's people that are into it, either explicitly for the unbirthing, or just pregfags that aren't picky.

A lot of people like Kanako x Cole stuff, considering all the positive reception towards all the nsfw/suggestive art featuring it.

We don't have to assume, he's said as much. That's why he hired the team to begin with.

>rather than his ideas being perfect and just getting lost in translation when conveying them to his team.
I don't say they're perfect, just that the kinds of compromises he'd have been forced to make likely would've resulted in them being exeuted better than they were with a team that could do everything exactly as described.

I suppose this is mostly just assumption on my part, but its based on how I've seen Toby work, what I've heard him say, and my own personal experience with writing. This is how these sorts of things tend to shake out.

I think so. In a strange way, being in these threads has made me more tolerant to alternate ways of living, but I really just hate the whole blue and yellow thing, and I think it's really all on the side of blue.
when people ship Clover and Chara, since i've always seen chara as a guy, that isn't what bothers me about the ship, but when I see Yellow and blue I just think "why is this happening."

it's like they're not just being made gay, but specifically "lame and gay"

Its under question 3. Actually, re-reading it, its even worse than I remembered him saying it would be outright impossible to make with just him and Temmie. Anyways, I doubt it would be impossible, he managed chapter 1, so he probably could've made more like that in a smaller scope, which I'm saying would have been preferable to what we got.

I feel like the flowers would've been better characters overall if they actually followed a consistent theme with their characterization.
Some of the flowers, like Aqua or Orange are characterized as lacking the traits they're meant to be related to as indicated by their colors, but the other flowers aren't written as such, like Green doesn't lack kindness at all, she's pretty consistently a nice person, or Yellow not really lacking justice or being unjust in any sense, he's just an idiot, and so on.

As someone who watched the movie years ago and remembers it mostly. I feel like she'd really sympathize with the Red (the protagonist) and really hate how stupid and asshole-ish the other birds are to him. She'd also probably be a bit grossed out by the movie as well. I doubt she's a fan of bathroom humor.

She also might be naive and think the movie is some bizzare form of human propaganda meant to make bird and pig monsters hate each other or something, but then be reminded that humans werent aware that monsters exist when the movie was made and it's just based off a silly phone game. (She'd still be overtly confused at why humans think Birds and Pigs would hate each other).

I'm a fan of both but honestly I had a feeling because I remember this coming up a little bit back. I'm not trying to convince you to read a fic for characters you're not into, but I do like how the tongue is talked about for the make out a lot and that's what I had in mind bringing it up to you.
steel sharpens steel and since we don't have a lot of anons that have written lewd around here, when I got to some of that it just hit me like "oh my. Oh my goodness gracious Ceroba would push her tongue down Anon's throat and giggle as she did it"

I know the hunger is related to it, but sometimes it's hard for me to force myself to eat even when I have access to food I like right in front of me, just because the sensation of consumption is sometimes a bit uncomfortable to me for whatever reason.
I have a Mountain Dew and a hamburger I cooked right next to me, but I've only been taking occasional sips of the Dew, and I haven't eaten any of the burger because I can't quite work up the desire to.

That's a very funny mental image to me, because my tablet is directly in front of my keyboard on my desk, meaning he'd have to have taken it from me while the tablet was *just* outside of my peripheral vision as I look at the screen, which is very impressive.
>Alternatively if that's not effective, Roba made that burger personally for you, and she's going to be really sad if you don't eat it, because it will make her think you don't like her cooking.
I like her cooking just fine I just have very little say in when I want to eat things, I promise her.
I'd say I'd try and focus really hard on the idea of eating the burger, but I don't think she'd feel better watching me have to actively try and eat it, that might make her feel worse.

I will eat the burger in time, when my brain allows me to, and I will put up with the vast hollow feeling in my torso until then, but I swear I will eat the burger eventually.

Starlo's the father. Chujin had to do a bit of dressup with orange paint and a red wig in order to get some samples.

I promise I'll eat before I shower if nothing else, at least because the dense, humid air has a tendency to mess me up even harder if I'm already feeling a bit light, so she can rest assured that I will consume food within the next hour or so, I swear.

>>4009998
It's toxic because Chujin is exploiting how naive, innocent, and stupid Starlo is. Dressing up as his own wife to exploit Star's childhood crush and fuck Star so he can do weird mpreg experiments with himself. Given how suicidally desprate Chujin was to create boss monster super soldiers it's not even a stretch that he might degrade himself to such levels to achieve his goals. Or maybe im just being to mean and pretending that Chujin must be some massive repressed faggot.

Honestly it's quite impressive that he could juggle something like that, I'd be applauding him for his performance if I hadn't spent like 80 bucks on it.
The tablet was like 30 so I don't care as much but I would also like that to not be broken either.

Overprotective or prudish parents who never give their kids "the talk" so the boys just formulate their own flawed logical conclusion based on what they understand and deduce that girls must have dicks as well because thats all they understand. Moral of the story is to teach your kids about the birds and bees, unless you want them being femboyfags or worse.

>Tenna is Starlo with better writing and more derangement.
hmm, Aside from starlo not getting his geno fight, I felt like he was handled really well in yellow, but more importantly I don't see them as the same kind of person.
Starlo is a heavily principled person underneath all of his larp. He loses touch with who he is sure, but once he finds himself again, he stands tall for what he believes in.
Tenna is more defined by his desperation for that attention than Starlo actually is.

Roba sniffled and tried to hide wiping her tears. She accepts, but you can tell she still feels unsure. She sits down on the bed, presumably too uneasy to leave until she sees the end of that "in a bit".

Reynault tosses you the keyboard, which you only barely catch, then leaves the room, still juggling the tablet and stylus while he walks. He says that if you're not careful, he may end juggling your phone, hard drive, and wallet next.

>>4010009
>that's fair, to each their own. The mutual aspect and the taking turns aspect has a strong appeal to me.
No yeah, I understand.
I think it's a little complicated for how I feel about things, since I have no problem at all with being "forcibly" serviced like with that gentle femdom idea of Ceroba stroking an anon's cock while they're all bound up, so I guess it might just be another thing altogether I've yet to fully deduce.
I do think both partners in a relationship taking turns is nice though, both parties should get to feel good about things, as long as it doesn't feel obligatory on either one's part.
Honestly though, were I with Ceroba, I'd probably just let her do whatever she wants to me, I trust her.
>sounds great honestly, though yeah I imagine it's a hard thing to get a grasp on how to draw. I have faith that you'll get the hang of it eventually even if it sounds like a pain to figure out.
Yeah, think I'll try and workshop something about that after I get done with this, along with some other things.
So close to being free, I can feel it...

it's an intensely blurred line between anons that are 100 percent into it, anons that are only kind of into it, and anons that aren't into it at all. Just a big mishmash of freaks and non freaks talking while another mishmash all the same is watching.

Man, the one time I wish I could just magically absorb food in an instant.
I promise I will eat the rest soon, she doesn't need to worry.
Besides, humans are hardy, we can go weeks without food before dying, she doesn't have anything to worry about.
>Reynault tosses you the keyboard, which you only barely catch, then leaves the room, still juggling the tablet and stylus while he walks. He says that if you're not careful, he may end juggling your phone, hard drive, and wallet next.

yes but it's enough so of a shift in their motivation that I don't think him being "starlo but with better writing" is right. they are very different people for the core of their motivations. Both of them are showmen, but staro does it for the people around him while tenna does it because everyone looking at him makes him feel good (probably because that's his purpose as a tv after all).

As a drawfag who is generally considered to be one of the weirdest regulars in these threads, I usually try and keep things contained until it's somehow relevant, like if I'm talking about a specific piece or idea for something.
Or I at least wait until there isn't much of anything else going on at the time to talk about freaky stuff, like I did earlier.

>>4010022
This is how I feel about other parts of the UTY community as well. I swear in general the community is obsessed with preg, jokingly or not. I’ve seen so many Chujin mpreg comments outside of here for example, and I can never tell if it’s a secret fetish thing or not. I assume most people are joking about it, but some may not. Although, there doesn’t even seem to be much Chujin preg or impreg fetish stuff around. Even Starlo’s got more of that kind of thing. That’s kind of why I assume most mpreg Chujin comments are a joke

Then, obviously, there’s the stuff surrounding the unbirthing fetish and general preg fetish stuff here with Ceroba and especially Martlet. I can’t even tell who seriously has a fetish or not for that kind of stuff, but I do genuinely think the unbirthing shit is just pushed by a few anons too much into it. Yet, that begs the question, why the fuck did UTY attract these fags in particular?

Ah, clever, getting me to reveal having not eaten breakfast while I try and cover another base, that's smart of her.
If it's any consolation, I have not eaten breakfast at an appropriate time in years, so that's just part of how I operate normally.
>and now she does believe you that you're going to eat it, but she's a little dissapointed that the hot meal she made you is going to be cold.
Oh, that's normal too, I almost never eat food I make in one sitting, that's fine.

I am greatly amused by the idea of Ceroba actually being willing to be with me as my partner, but also being profoundly upset and surprised by how much of an anomaly I am in almost every aspect.

I see it crop up occasionally when I'm looking for art so I know it's actually out there, and i've seen it posted in servers that are supposed to not be 18+ for things so it's a fetish that gets treated like it's not a fetish sometimes.

I think it's a combination of one person who has an autistic fixation on it, a couple people that like it "normally", and then also a shitposter with an autistic fixation on it as strong as the former person.
>why the fuck did UTY attract these fags in particular?
the ut fandom as well as furry fandoms in general has these kind of things in a very high number. The things I saw when undertale first hit this board, including that guy that commissioned scat art of it to try and run it off the board.

Thank you very much for reading all of it, and I'm relieved my first try produced something good.

>and I recognize your writing.
Ah, I figured that would happen, though you were pretty quick. I don't exactly keep it standard, especially with the use of present tense, as you said. Looking back, I can't remember what possessed me to use that, but I always found that I liked it. I don't even remember the last book I read that used it.

I'll revisit the beginning and see if I can fix things up. To a certain extent, I wanted things to stilted at the start, because Kanako was internally unraveling from almost dying, but I can very likely do it better and make it appear more intentional. You're also right about the TV thing being contradictory; I imagined it as being just loud enough to provide cover for any sounds that escape, while still being quiet enough to detect someone coming, but this just isn't clear in a written format and I didn't account for that.

Very glad I changed the conversation with Auntie Roba. The original draft had a more active version who was almost facilitating sexual encounters, with her and Cole communicating via text (I gave Cole a ragged Blackberry) to avoid walk-ins. But then I took a step back and I thought, "this might be a bit porn-brained. In fact, it's kinda just weird, and that's the last thing I would want for this scene." And so, I recycled a few paragraphs and scrapped the rest. I wanted to focus way more on Ceroba being a secondary mom, anyway.

Ceroba might be the character I have the weakest grasp on for any caste member, regarding character voice, but I figured if it's warmer than expected, that would be the representation of her and Cole's more advanced relationship, compared to UTY's fledgling relationship between her and Clover.

It's a very cozy idea for him to care so much as to go to such a length to ensure I'm eating alright, even if I insist his concern is misplaced.

Still, I'm almost there, it'll be like another half hour, tops.

>unique choice doing kanako pov, female pov gets completely skipped in things like this a lot.
Choosing the female POV for my first foray into NSFW was a tad scary, but I felt like I would be doing the story an injustice if I chickened out. Cole had plenty going on behind the eyes that would have been interesting, but not as romantically. He was busy [Spoiler]spotting abnormalities in Kanako's behavior, even during the kissing itself, which also would have spoiled the twist in the scene, where Cole puts a cold stop on her advances and drags the truth out of her.

Kanako also has the more involved and unique sexual experience here, since she has snoot power, but with a unique difficulty in the form of her canines. On the other hand, Cole's difficulties come from a way less sexy drawback: getting hair in his mouth. That scene was inspired by my reading of Komen Fuufu, which got recommended a while back. I think the plot and even the character writing in that work is botched to hell, but the designs are great and the fox is pretty. But I digress.

>you should consider doing more of this or like this. it felt like more than smut.
Thank you very much, again. I wanted very badly to make this something that would move the heart /and/ the penis, so it means a lot to hear that. And I do intend on making a chapter for each day in DRY. The working name for this project was actually "KanaCole's Week of Crisis Sex" lol. I changed it to something that wasn't completely on-the-nose, and more representative of the material, since the sex got postponed so it /wouldn't/ be motivated by fear.

Either way I'll let other Anons succeed or fail to pick up who you are on their own.

that makes sense, I guess it just took a moment for you to get the rhythm of that quite right. I hate that my statement is vague but it just felt a bit off in the start, though it very quickly took on the proper life of its own.
>I imagined it as being just loud enough to provide cover for any sounds that escape, while-
I assumed that's what you were going for, but the way it was phrased I ended up assuming the whole time that she was going to have overdone it and turned the volume too loud, getting walked in on due to her blunder

yeah I think it would have actually been a mistep to have her so directly involved, but the way you had it done, was awkward but in a way that fit Cole being upstanding possibly to a fault. I think you toed the line in a good way there, but just an inch in the other direction and it may have made me cringe at ceroba's willingness.
instead it came across as her respecting the stalwartness of the dumb kid, and maybe remembering being a teen herself.

I think I could see him liking the ones that are more structured jokes rather than the random nonsense ones people tend to joke about more often.
So, he'd probably like the spoonful one, yes.

Something of a sidenote, but I was thinking about what daily life with him would be like, and I forget how I first thought of it, but I came to the conclusion that I could never ask him for "a hand" with anything, for risk of being Toy Story'd immediately.
I feel like he'd think that was funny literally any time it's applicable.
And he'd be right, but still, I can't encourage him too much.

>Choosing the female POV for my first foray into NSFW was a tad scary
most male authors, assuming you aren't the mythical and nonexistant female poster, shy away from female pov in writing even in non lewds, often to the detriment of the story, so it was a bold move but you did a pretty good job with it. It meandered in a couple of places, but I think that added to the awkward and fumbling feeling of their first time doing something like this together.
>Cole had plenty going on behind the eyes
>spotting abnormalities in Kanako's behavior
being able to switch povs is a good skill that you've of course shown before, but also in romance part of the appeal is often not knowing what's in the other persons head and that played out well here. Kanako not understanding why he didn't want tomove things forward at first, her nerves and thoughts as she waits and anticipates before it suddenly starts without knowing when, those are good uses of the pov there.
>Kanako also has the more involved and unique sexual experience here, since she has snoot power
when I did that lewd roba green recently, this stuff was on my mind, and when I do more, I'm going to think of some of the ideas you had. I mentioned it earlier, but steel sharpens steel so I hope you don't mind me taking inspirations from your approach. The snoot and tongue are unique mechanisms (though I may be an oddball for adding the whole "rough fox tongue" in myself)
>I think the plot and even the character writing in that work is botched to hell,
oh yeah absolutely, it's very very rushed but I think the designs are great, and it's still cute at times in the way a 4koma can be despite not having proper development. I wont say it's a virtue of that manga, but the fox is still pretty so we take what we can get sometimes.

>since the sex got postponed so it /wouldn't/ be motivated by fear.
like I said before in how it felt like more than smut, this was one of the things that helped it. I've read plenty of doujins that yeah the art is serviceable, but it fumbles things in a not sweet and endearing way and is just a quick rush past that tender moment and doesn't make you feel like both characters matter. In this it did feel like both of them mattered.

I'll say though, in continued entries, it should probably meander slightly less. It worked in this chapter, and would probably work in the next chapter, because it adds to that feeling and may have been completely intentional on your part so if I'm preaching to someone who already knows then I'm sorry, but I think the pacing should probably change as they get further along in this "journey" together.


>And ah, thanks also for going to bat for the story. I try to practice what I preach and draw my rewards from within myself, but I can't help but get a bit sad when something I made is glanced past.
I hope it didn't come across awkward with me championing it like that, and if it did I'm sorry, but despite it being important to do things for yourself, it's still good to be recognized and have people see what you've done and put effort towards.
not a thing in the world wrong with that.

nta but, I think the desired to not be seen as one goes a long way towards keeping you from being one.

interesting, and I will say, people coming here from off site is not objectively a bad thing, since some people do adjust to the culture. I mean hell back in fucking 2007 when I found 4chan I had been somewhere else first right?

It's just funny to me that they have it listed like that despite being here. Oh well, for all I know they could be great posters and I just don't know 99 percent of what they do.
though I think some of the people that come here from twitter and discord may be cancer sometimes, since I've seen the kind of "cavemen around a fire" posting they do when the discord people bring a post back from here.

Alright, I've finished the sketch for the most part, anything left unclear I'll just fill in the gaps for when I start on the lineart later tonight.
As promised, I will now finish the burger, before taking a shower.
I appreciate the concern of the anon or anons who opted to threaten me with the idea of my scrimblos being upset about me not eating well, thank you, though this is a regular enough occurrence on my part for it to not really be a huge concern if I'm honest.

I am also glad we somehow managed to skate past the idea of Ceroba being in the room with me while I draw an image of her being eaten out to the point of exhaustion, that would be hard to explain to her.
>>
>>4010101
Huh, I wonder if that would cause problems for a human if they ate nothing but magic food for too long.
Like, being nourished, but not actually using your stomach to digest things, I feel like that would cause a problem eventually.

I wonder about that sometimes. It would be impossible to know in some cases I feel like. Discord isn't indexed I assume, and search engines aren't that great these days.

>>4010104
Its sent all over your body, so some of it is probably sent to the stomache. There probably is a small physical component to the food as well, since monsters still have physical matter in their bodies, just not much.

some say on the darkest reaches of the internet lies a terrible place. No one has ever gone there and lived to tell the tale. But there's a demo for a fangame some say has no creator, or even worse, he might be... from 4 CHAN
the idea of fangame urban legends is funny to me.
I had to stop myself the other day when I saw people asking for fangame recommendations outside of here when I was looking for new art. I know Naranja anon doesn't want his demo made public until he's ready, but the thought that someone could spread the videos and images he's made makes it almost sound like a creepy pasta.

It's a reference to a Jojo Stand, Killer Queen.

He didn't even ask to have fanarts or fanfics dedicated to him, all he ever wanted was to make others happy, to know that somewhere out there, his existence made someone's day a bit better, he never got the chance to meet other scrimblos, to be part of a bigger story.
Inadvertently, by having a fight and being a schizo boss he already got what he wanted, the pacifist fight is all about making him understand that even something as simple as him can be someone's scrimblo.

I just died to the mirror boss. I agree about patterns going on too long (well, not on MUT, Mut was pretty easy), and honestly while I like the idea of some of those attacks, the mirror knives come out too quick imo.

May I ask what defined Chapter 1's tone and feel to you? I also considered it particularly dreamlike, melancholic, yet unsettling compared to the rest of the game; comparable to eg. Majora's Mask or PC-98 Touhou. But I have trouble identifying what about it specifically invokes those feelings.
Perhaps hearing others' perspective will help me understand this better.

I'm honestly a little surprised cunnilingus isn't as common of a thing around here, I'd have thought more people would be into that sort of thing with their female scrimblos.

I do wonder how some of the characters here would respond to being asked about it though. Not if *they* want their pussies licked, but being asked by someone who wants to lick their pussy.

>>
>>4010194
>May I ask what defined Chapter 1's tone and feel to you?
It's a little hard to convey, but I can try.
I think part of it was definitely how new and strange everything seemed at the time, which is natural, given that I played it on launch day and therefore had no prior idea of what I was getting into, but that's not directly attached to the game itself, just the circumstances I was able to play it in for the first time.
I think the environments of the first chapter also helped it along, the unnaturally colored wooded areas gave it a "mystical" feeling, as that other anon put it, something that the other chapters of the game never really went back to (until chapter 5, but only briefly).
I also think the weird stuff with the vessel creation screen at the beginning definitely helped set a tone for the game, it feels like the initial SURVEY_PROGRAM release of DR definitely hinged on the player being caught up with all the Gaster stuff in UT, and that helped give it a weird sort of vibe at the time that most of the following chapters haven't really held onto so far.
The music was also really good, but that's usually the case when it comes to Toby Fox, so that's not super noteworthy, though I do feel like some tracks helped emphasize that sort of late-autumn feeling the game had, which paired really well with it coming out on Halloween.
There's also the fact that it came out in 2018, just a few short months before the last time I was ever happy, so the timing was really important here.
>>
>>4010195

Chapter 1 has a unified visual style of vibrant colors against a black background, which makes it feel pretty unique. It focuses on cool colors rather than the warm ones Undertale did. Combine that with the fantasy world it takes place in also giving it a vibe. Places like the Field or the Forest are just chill and surreal with how they're arranged. Then you have that opening, the egg secret, Jevil being cryptic as hell and the ending with Kris being spooky. Its all a ride from beginning to end that combines to make it feel like a dream.

Plus I'm sure the Alice in Wonderland influence helped.
>>
God, I know I shouldn't just keep posting about it, but I just can't stop thinking about eating Ceroba's pussy.
Just the idea of having her all tied up, thighs spread, her most sensitive regions so vulnerable and exposed, perfect to lick, suck, and kiss for hours on end, feeling her shudder and shake as I make out with her sensitive folds, hearing her start to moan with greater and greater intensity as I suck on her clitoris, lapping it relentlessly with my tongue, until she suddenly loses control and lets out a screaming moan as she squirts into my throat...
Only for me to start again, suckling on her clit, driving her utterly wild...

>Ceroba drowning Starlo in the lake art on Reddit
Do Redditors not realize the implications of applying the weird route to them? Besides, how the hell would a hypothetical Starlo Ceroba weird route even happen? Ceroba is a retard, but the issue is that her stupidity comes from holding the people she cares about the most not to the same standard. She’s willing to quickly call out Starlo for his own retardation, but she can’t do the same for Chujin. If Starlo told her to “firegrave” billions, she would call it a silly LARP. But, if it was Chujin? She wouldn’t even think twice about it
>>
I think I spent a bit too much time drawing one-handed tonight, didn't get as much done as I'd have liked.
Should be able to finish off the lineart later, and the coloring and shading shouldn't take too terribly long either.
I am going to brush my teeth and go to bed now. I am not going to be getting a full night's sleep.
I am going to think about the 'roba as I attempt to sleep. For the amount of time I've spent away from her, she really is still my favorite scrimblo. Though there is a tie.

To be fair, Ceroba and Starlo are quite similar to Noelle and Kris. Both were childhood friends who were in love with each over, with the girl being the one initiating and "forcing" it. Both Starlo and Kris long for the past when they were together with their childhood friend.

I can see it happening if Roba's parents were super controlling and wanted to force her into an arranged marriage with Chujin or something.
And Noelle as well thinks Kris is larping at first, only until the end of chapter 4 weird route is that she realized that Kris "learnt how to stop being Kris"
>>

I think Wiki would be a bit cuter though, she'd probably be awfully shy about it.

>Both were childhood friends who were in love with each over, with the girl being the one initiating and "forcing" it. Both Starlo and Kris long for the past when they were together with their childhood friend.
That’s pretty much where the similarities start and end though. I don’t even know a time where Ceroba has ever forced Starlo as a kid to do something that he doesn’t want? We don’t know much about their past the same way we know for Kris and Noelle
>And Noelle as well thinks Kris is larping at first, only until the end of chapter 4 weird route is that she realized that Kris "learnt how to stop being Kris"
The difference between Noelle and Ceroba is that Ceroba doesn’t like LARPing and doesn’t participate in it at all as shown in the Wild East segment while Noelle does in the dark world. For Noelle, the “LARPing” in the dark world is a power fantasy. Ceroba meanwhile lacks the same power fantasy and tries to stop Starlo when his LARP goes too far, and she already recognizes how different Starlo is since Clover arrived. If anything, if it really had to be Starlo and Ceroba in the weird route, then Starlo as the one Killing Billions for Ceroba makes more sense slightly at first. Of course it still doesn’t make sense that much since he’s willing to call out her shit pretty quickly, but I can imagine him making more excuses for why a possessed Ceroba is acting strange due to picrel and the fact that he has a desire to be “something more than an ordinary farm boy”/have more “status” in canon (almost like a fantasy that Noelle could have)
>>
>>4010368
>I don’t even know a time where Ceroba has ever forced Starlo as a kid to do something that he doesn’t want?

Look at the picture of them as kids, Starlo is literally hover handing. I don't think that either Noelle or Ceroba "forced" anything, it just feels to them that they did so.

Yeah its the weakest chapter but I dont think Toby deliberately did everything he could in this chapter to "slight the chuds" so to speak. Like even as a guy who hates the yuri I knew from a fucking mile away, like all the way back to chapter 1 that the damn deer and dinosaur would be lesbos. Didnt stop me from ditching Deltarune cause im not the kind of person to not appreciate or enjoy something even if it has messages and statements I dont agree with. Plus it contiunally pisses off the rest of that fandom that people who arent sublimely gay or leftist enjoy Toby's works (like seriously do they think they alone were responsible for Undertale being a massive hit? It was a game that became really popular with normies as well).

You its funny, I didnt even have a problem with Alphys x Undyne in Undertale itself. Even when I replayed the game recently as a grown ass man. But Noelle x Susie for some reason gives me that homophobic ick that I often have.

A Starlo and Ceroba Weird route would probably have the agenda being bringing Chujin and/or Kanako back. Ceroba could and would exploit Starlo's affection for her and make him do horrible things ive given enough smooth talking.

So this is why Clover decided to kill himself. Prolonged Ceroba exposure. Also why Chujin behaved so stupidly despite being a talented engineer, cause he's been exposed to Ceroba particles for YEARS.

Read the discussion you were replying to, no one was talking about mikefag shit. People (me specifically) were hating on chapter 5 because it sucked. Whether or not Toby was fucking with theorists was irrelevant to the discussion.

>>4010380
Its worse that he tossed them a bone because now the whole thing comes across as ntr with how it sets up relationships with Susie and Noelle, then forces you to literally watch from the chair while they hook up and go over the most terrible romance I've ever seen put to screen. And of course it kills both characters and any arcs they were having in the process for the sake of a generic romance with a yuri skin. And lets not even get into shit like the MewMew "date".

nta, what date?
>>
>>4010401
You unlock a date after completing the secret boss. MewMew is into it until Susie shows up and says "Kris flirts with everyone, he doesn't actually like you, lmao." not those exact words, but its to the same effect, and of course that ruins it.

Both susie and ralsei say it, but in fan art ive seen more people put it all on ralsei even though susie is the one who speaks up first.

Makes me think of that fan art of young kris upset as his parents argue, and toriel accuses ASGORE of drinking in front of the kids.
>>
>>4010373
Toby wrote it like NTR, which propels it from being just a bad ship to a genuinely awful pairing that ruins the story its attached to. Now I'm not saying he intentionally made it ntr (though with the imagery used, Kris literally watching from a chair at one point, and tree cake it leaves me very suspicious of him) but I am saying that the result felt like ntr.

To be fair, that is a very Toriel thing to do.

Toriel has her flaws and her issues with asgore, but she's never been shown to accuse asgore of drinking and hes never been shown to drink anything but tea

I feel like the funniest thing to do would have them doing that while Kris and the soul (who is the ugly bastard) watch from the park bench and cry. Maybe have both of them briefly flash Kris and the soul briefly flash Kris an ugly bastard face while the rest of their body looks normal. A bit like this.
>>
>>4010410
I was referring to her displacing her own problems onto Asgore and generally being a hypocrite towards him. Like her getting hammered then calling Asgore a drunk after confronted because he had a beer or two himself.
>>
>>4010412
this, but add an smiling annoying dog sitting on the bench alongside Kris and the soul.
>>
>>4010413
No i get that i just feel like shes never pinned that one on him even though she probably had the chance in the alarm clock stuff where her drinking became more widely known.

Then again I could imagine her being the type to give him that kind of grief after seeing him have a single beer at a gathering

The annoying dog is drawn as a ghostly ugly bastard watching over them from the sky.

I get it's not really my place to tell you guys what to do, but could you maybe have the same repetitive conversation about how you're upset about the relationship that's pretty clearly being depicted as bad as some kind of personal betrayal against you somewhere else?
Like maybe on /v/ for the 30th time in the past week?
>>
>>4010416
She seems to me like the type that starts throwing accusations whenever the spotlight is on her. Like if her drinking were an issue, she would accuse Asgore of doing it too to shift blame. Maybe even convince herself he's the real drunk.
>>
>>4010417
The annoying dog should be a ghostly ugly bastard that has his arms over Noelle and Susie's shoulders, he's the real ugly bastard behind all of this

That is a classic "you're a mikefag" argument. It implies that the person is seething about Toby because they think Toby has a grudge against them specifically and is altering the game to fuck with them, which consequently implies that the anon in question is a schizo and that all of their issues with the game are completely invalid, and usually also implies that they're an idiot or insane for having any of those theories or notions about where the game was going to begin with.

Its a really hostile and backhanded insult with a lot of extra baggage that adds additional insult. You hit someone with that, and all they're gonna do is double down and do whatever you were mad at them for more.

Its on topic as far as it being a post mortem discussing what not to do in fangames.

At least one currently. And its not like Suselle is the only thing wrong with chapter 5. Its not even like the cucking is the only thing wrong with Suselle.
>>
>>4010469
Yeah i made a nod to that part being on topic earlier, but we were drifting a bit.

I think there's a lot of good that comes from this chapter not doing so great. Devs seeing that toby isnt infallible, and just some general sense of how not to drag the story on too long I think are big parts.

I actually wonder if even if I considered chapter 5 good, if I would have still felt like "fuck, 2 whole more chapters to resolve this?"
>>
>>4010474
With yellow theres stuff like justice resolves, shades of justice, and past anons even attempting full hard modes, so It seems like i only end up hearing about fangames for yellow that seek to do some big sweeping change (probably because yellow inspires people to fix things in their eyes)
>>
>>4010475
Actually, now that I think about it, there's another issue with Deltarune related to this which hasn't been discussed. Sure the game literally cucks you quite a lot, but it also metaphorically does it too. Its constantly teasing things then yanking them away or casually tossing them aside. Of course there's that MewMew date, but there's stuff like the festival. The only ride there is a cut to black, or the king and queen vote happens off screen and you're not allowed to see the result.
>>
>>4010476
I think the biggest lesson devs can take from chapter 5 is that, for Undertale and Deltarune, less is more. Chapter 5 suffers from bloat. Too much runtime, too many characters all at once, too many new mechanics, and I think it put too much emphasis on spectacle and flashy graphics. Basically the same problem I was starting to see in chapter 4 manifested fully here.
>>
>>4010479
>but it also metaphorically does it too. Its constantly teasing things then yanking them away or casually tossing them aside
Im seeing people say "thats the point!" But the problem is, from a design standpoint, frustrating the player is a very dangerous tightrope to walk. You can "make a point" thematically or otherwise but if the player gets too frustrated, then the point is just "yeah ok i get it but this still sucks".
Its kind of like when i was talking to oldentale anon and he considered making a frustrating character. It can work, but you have to mind just how far you go because the line between "fuck this character I want to kill him" and "fuck this game I want to stop playing" is easy to accidentally cross
>>
>>4010480
Yeah undertale benefits from making its content very compact. Its got a ton of potential interactions that make it the game we all know, but those interactions are often compressed into the same moment and often optional, so that players can extract value and then move on as they please.
It doesnt feel like "ugh i have to get through these papyrus calls" its
"Oh i like papyrus and can call him as much as I want!" Or "alright the papyrus thing is running thin. Im just gonna progress"
>>
>>4010481
>Im seeing people say "thats the point!"
Maybe it is, but as you say there's a limit. If you make it nothing but wall to wall frustration, then the game suffers. It stops being fun, and loses its impact. I think the intentional frustration worked in chapters 1 and 2. Drives home the idea of your choices not mattering and makes you want to break free from that prison. Chapter 5 gets to the point where it makes just want to stop playing.
>>
>>4010485
Chapter 2 specifically felt like the right balance of fucking with the player vs giving you an actual sense like you were getting things done. A lot of gags like the vase or cheese maze are having a laff and fucking around with you but also each leading to entertaining moments, and it kept its tone ordered in a way that the serious moments felt serious and the goofy times didnt.
I think its the chapter that should be examined the most if you want to strike a tone of silly and light hearted, but fit in drop dead serious moments.

Incidentally I did like the secret boss build up in dry day 2 tone wise, though i guess it could have used more being hinted at, not in terms of finding it, but in the way foxlace was nudged at occasionally. A deeper connection to the world.

At the very least, completely disconnected build ups like mew mews I think should be avoided. It should feel like "there's a reason this is here"
>>
>>4010486
DRY day 2's secret boss has a cool build up. But it doesn't have much impact nor does it feel very significant. Maybe that isn't what it was trying to do, but it feels like secret bosses should at least feel important, even if they aren't actually in the grand scheme of things.

Foxlace was pretty good in this regard though.
>>
>>4010487
The second one feels like it opened the plot up a good bit in how it said "theres more you dont know yet " which works I think this early into the game, but yeah I do still feel like it lacks the connection thay foxlace had. I feel like that is intentional since we dont know shit about "the promise", but i hope that chapter 3s is slightly more "existing" in the story

>assuming you aren't the mythical and nonexistant female poster
'Fraid not. The hunt continues for the elusive femanon.

>shy away from female pov in writing even in non lewds
I somehow never thought about it, but that kind of mentality really is present, isn't it. I'm just now recalling all of the guides and critique articles of how to write female characters. In my head, it was always just "what is a Martlet thing for Martlet to do?" rather than "what is a woman thing to do, for this woman who is also Martlet?"

I expect it would be much more difficult if I was generating my own characters and plot from scratch, rather than using materials that other people formed before me.

>I hope you don't mind me taking inspirations from your approach
By all means! If I didn't make something worth taking home, then I didn't do my job.

>oddball for adding the whole "rough fox tongue"
You'll find no judgement from me; I'm a sucker for alternative forms of stimulation. The ear-play and the chin scratches and the parts where Kanako is getting the small of her back stimulated were informed by some of my own tastes.

>I'll say though, in continued entries, it should probably meander slightly less.
Worry not, I'm definitely trying to channel the feeling of fumbling virgins, but I know it will have to go once they cross lines and gain confidence.


>I hope it didn't come across awkward with me championing it like that
Not at all, I really appreciated it. I'm honestly super neurotic about online communication, so I have trouble with this kind of stuff. I usually re-read everything I post 3 times minimum and try to purge any possible interpretation of an impolite statement, and then cringe like I just ate a lemon when I see that I dropped a connector word, lol. But when multiple people tell me not to stress about it, I think I can manage to insist on myself and my work, if only a little.

If the whole chapter's based on it then that's different. I was talking about her being the secret boss. If its the whole chapter, you're kinda just stuck with it. I would say just try to play up the differences from MewMew and Pink as much as possible

>I somehow never thought about it, but that kind of mentality really is present, isn't it.
All over the place really. It's not even limited to woman characters in a way since people fall back onto trope archetypes even for established characters, but it's glaringly obvious with girl characters.
>I expect it would be much more difficult if I was generating my own characters and plot from scratch, rather than
on one hand yeah, but the philosophy still remains the same. "what would so and so do" not "what would woman shaped character do".
It's actually funny to me to consider that a lot of modern progressive writing falls into that trap just as bad, writing "woman" before making a strong character, but simply not realizing that they are falling into their own series of tropes.
>You'll find no judgement from me; I'm a sucker for alternative forms of stimulation. The ear-play and the chin scratches and the parts where Kanako is getting the small of her back stimulated were informed by some of my own tastes.
I respect it, and while I know you didn't do coles perspective, there were still hints of it in how he gravitated to her tail in some moments.
>Worry not, I'm definitely trying to channel the feeling of fumbling virgins, but I know it will have to go once they cross lines and gain confidence.
good to hear, I'm really curious how things will turn out.
>I'm honestly super neurotic about online communication, so I have trouble with this kind of stuff
I get it, and it's a lot easier to tell someone else that they are all good than it is to tell yourself

so spending more time with lost deltarune than I expected to last night. when people compare it to Analogue horror, I have to wonder if that's because of some part I haven't gotten to yet or found.
It feels more in general like creepypasta so far than analogue horror.
Is it because Analogue horror is more recent in generational memory so it gets that label? I guess it's asking for spoilers to say that since i haven't gotten the "true ending" or whatever yet but it's just on my mind.

Also the fight with

Here it is:
"Gancho fight: Maybe for the remember action, you could have little
snippets of flavor text to what Cole is trying to remember. Example I thought up of to show the
concept:
Cole tries to remember
“The scent of candles hit your nose.”
Cole tries to remember
“A scarf wrapped inside of a box…”
Cole tries to remember
“Friends and family gather around. A joy springs in your heart.”
Cole tries to remember
“Your heart tightens with guilt”
Cole tries to remember
“You’d be brave for her…”
Cole tries to remember
“Martlet’s worried voice echoes in your head.”
Cole tries to remember
“A long way down…”
Cole tries to remember
“The sun was bright that day. The night was cold…”
Cole tries to remember
“The withering glare of her father burns on your back…”
These are just examples, I have little idea what Cole is trying to actually remember here,
but I thought it would be cool to add something like this to add to the mystery. Since the spare
end of fight dialogue doesn’t really elaborate on it. This idea isn’t really necessary, but I think
something like this could make the fight a lot more interesting.
I don’t know, maybe like that. Just sounds, scents, sights, emotions… just to give context
of what Cole’s trying to remember but not enough to actually give the true answer."

Im just gonna assume immediately after Chujin's death Roba was hitting the bottle hard a lot, hence her shitty logic and decision making skills. They had to debuff Ceroba by making her a crippling alcoholic that lost her husband in order for her to be on Toriel levels of "bad mom"-ness
>>
>>4010543
Beta Ceroba is basically an Underfell character lol. Thats not an insult btw, merely an observation. Honestly we need a really awful person as an antagonist for one of these fan games (that isnt Flowey) that is an actual roadblock on the general Undertale message of forgiveness and mercy.

I liked that conversation a while back about how an alternative way to handle the justice soul would be that some lives are made worse by punishing certain people, while sparing certain others causes other unique problems.

I know we've spent a lot of time bitching about chapter 5 but I really hate how the game seems to be making killing titanspawn a bad thing possibly.
>>
>>4010554
>wait monsters dont have blood. Dust alcohol level.

That does make me wonder how in God's name monster biology even works, and if you can even call if biology because I'm not even confident monster are biological because they're made of magic. So like... monster thaumaturgy. I've often joked to me friends that the monsters are basically complex dust golems animated by magic.

Like, when a monster has a nasty wound do they just spew dust from it? If you like, bisected a monster would all you see just be dust? No organs no skeleton no nothing? I mean it seems that too much determination liquidates their magical dust body into a magical slurry, so that kinda soft implies that yeah, beyond the surface level, they're basically all dust.

I wonder if any monster before or even after the war questioned why Monsterkind is such a bizzare outlier to all other life. Cause Humans and ever other animal are all made of flesh and blood in some form, yet monsters are these weird other thing. I just assume they naively babble something about how they're special creations made by the Angel brought to life via Hopes and Dreams but that doesnt answer much.
>>
>>4010563
I figure that they have organs and physical structures made of dust held in place by magic, with magic running through their "veins", but when they die all of those structures simply fall apart as the magic leaves them, and with too much DT, those structures melt into eachother into undefined dust.

Some monsters probably have skeletons but those skeletons turn to dust with the rest of them and are just the arrangement of dust kept firmly in place by the magic in them.
I also figure if you cut them they "bleed" dust.
but lets face it, regardless it's a headcanon.

>I just assume they naively babble something about how they're special creations made by the Angel brought to life via Hopes and Dreams but that doesnt answer much.
this is almost definitely how most of them approach it, but I bet some that once upon a time had much more distant cultures had different ideas about being spirits that inhabited xyz.
>>
>>4010564
Honestly this does make me wonder how devasating any form of anti-magic or magic manipulation power would be against them? Would it just instantly dissolve them Infinity War style? I feel like this is an even more massive weakness of theirs than Humanity simply mogging them in every regard. Their entire existence and life is tied to an esoteric force, not defined in set in stone biology. What if some rare human mage were to master Thaumaturgic manipulation? Would they be able to like... morph and fuck with the bodies of Monsters like play-doh? Make fucked up monster versions of homunculi to do their bidding and shit? Toby really left a massive hole of interpretation to fill in here.

>Toby really left a massive hole of interpretation to fill in here.
oh absolutely, but to be honest sometimes I'm grateful for that since I like to run with different ideas on this stuff sometimes.
>What if some rare human mage were to master Thaumaturgic manipulation? Would they be able to like... morph and fuck with the bodies of Monsters like play-doh?
if such a power existed it's probably not common, and there'd probably be caveats and prerequisites that need to be accomplished.

but consider this, we talk about how strong a human is compared to a monster, but honestly monsters with their guards up are still pretty resilient. Sure a lv 15 human is going to one shot monsters regardless, but a human can get one shot by another human regardless of lv (probably) while a monster can probably survive a stabbing from your average human if the human is stopped from going any further.

>Would they be able to like... morph and fuck with the bodies of Monsters like play-doh? Make fucked up monster versions of homunculi to do their bidding and shit?
The idea that an extremely talented human magic user could basically be like the Qu to monsterkind and play god with them is a pretty fucked up idea. I like it.
>>
>>4010574
Yeah there are benefits to monster magic dust bodies like that. What constitutes a fatal injury and how easily it can be healed is easier with them, but it again comes at the cost of being seemingly more fragile than humans on average and the general low DT. Boss monsters like the Dreemurs also demonstrate the extra bonus of immortality as well.

it was probably moderately uncommon before the barrier and more like "sorcery" in that it's part of you but you can learn to be better at it.

when the barrier was up I like to imagine there still somehow were mages but the vast majority of them couldn't do shit with it, like how 99.9 percent of fortune tellers were bullshit, but then there was the rare case of an actual real fortune teller.
Maybe the barrier falling would cause some humans to get their magic back

Some anons here had the theory of human magicians being the result of monster/human couples, I personally don't believe it, but it does explain why there were no more mages after the barrier was made
>>
>>4010579
I think mine and the general headcanon is that Human magic users are very rare, and possibly are only able to manifest their power with the help or mentorship from a monster. Given there were at least Six human mages (Seven assuming the Poncho/Leader Human with the red soul is a mage as well) that created the barrier, what is probably the most powerful magical artifact/object ever made, magical humans were both rare and likely the ruling class of human society simply due to their seer power. I also assume ever since monsterkind was banished and over the many centuries, the surface world lost a lot of its magical edge and the general knowledge of magic dissipated. Perhaps monsters themselves act as generators for magical aura in the world, akin to trees producing oxygen, and with no monsters in the surface magic simply went caput.

Once again, this is all vague as hell and over a decade's worth of theory crafting. At least in Undertale Yellow it seems Clover as able to manifest his soul magic near the very end due to a mix of high determination/justice levels and also possibly simple due to monster exposure.

I feel like the red soul probably manifests its powers, if it's going to, without any mentorship. It's a counterbalance to every other force in the world in a way.

I personally had this grim idea thats both absurd and fucked. It's that during the war and its immediate aftermath, Monster Dust was considered a hot commodity, especially for the magically gifted humans. A performance enhancing drug that powers up magical levels and abilities. Basically magic meth. Because I mean think about it, if Monsters were real Humans would have totally been snorting their dust carcasses in order to attain "enlightenment" or supposed "power".
>>

I like the theory of humans requiring a monster mentor in order to unlock their latent magical powers, it also explains why the 7 mages spared the monster race despite how dangerous they could potentially be, they didn't want to kill their mentors.

For how salty and obsessed the mosnters are about the whole "banished underground thing", you'd think they'd realize that this was the best Mercy the Humans could have given them. I highly doubt living as a conquered second-class race under a Human Empire would have been more savory. Sun be damned. All this discussion makes me realize how damn exploitable and put under fucked up conditions monsters could and probably would be had they simply been put under a human boot as opposed to banished. They'd probably become an extremely exploitable resource that human nations would use to have an edge over other humans, because I mightly doubt the humans that wared with monsterkind were representatives of all Humanity, they were probably a singular tribe/kingdom that just so happened to have settled or lived in proximity to monsters. I bet immediately after banishing the monsters the humans of that specific civilization used their magical edge to subjugate and conquer other humans

Because Humans are actually not anywhere near as bad as the narrative seems to portray them as. I mean that's if you even buy the "sore loser" history thats taught on the monster side of things.

Its because Monsters are Lucifer's (aka the Angel's) failed attempt at making his own version of the Human race. But Lucifer isnt powerful enough to turn clay into flesh and create an organic being, so he used foul devil sourcery to create monsters out of magic instead. To bad for him that he sucked and monsters demonstrated to not be inherently evil, and instead mostly be kindhearted goobers. Angel worship is probably an innocent misinterpretation of Satanism lol.
>>
>>4010598
I mean, in that anon's theory humans were hunting monsters to snort them like coke, I was pointing out the logical inconsistency of the human magicians cutting their own supply short for no apparent reason, unless this was to protect the monsters from getting hunted by the crackhead mages.
>>
>>4010606
I think thats because the more moral and merciful factions winned out. The human mages were probably wise and knew that exploiting and enslaving monsters was both pretty fucked up and a disaster waiting to happen. All it would take was one lucky monster killing a human guard and absorbing its soul to create a chain reaction and a dangerous rebellion. The Sealing of them Underground was the ultimate segregation and mercy in their minds. Whatever the mage's motivations were, they clearly did not believe that humanity and mosnterkind could live together harmoniously. I once again bring up the very likely possiblity that an incident with a monster absorbing a human soul and killing a lot of people was the catalyst for the war in the first place.

Also I feel like monster dust snorting would be looked down upon, like how steroids is looked downed upon as a cheap and fake way of improving your abilities. Also I bet there are some traumatic and ugly side effects to snorting the corpse of a magical being made out of hopes and dreams (like said mosnter spiritually haunting the user or some other messed up shit). the leading Mages probably werent fond of having to deal with magically juiced up crackheads in their society either.
>>
>>4010607
>the leading Mages probably werent fond of having to deal with magically juiced up crackheads in their society either.
lets face it, there would be people willing to do such things and so they probably would have had to hunt such people down.

>How much you wanna bet they didn't even have an actual plan for the game and literally just had those sprites and mockups and nothing else?
They might have had an "outline" in their head, but I can totally see those mockups being the only thing that existed, I wanted to have faith in the project, but the dev posting zero actual gameplay footage made it clear that the "85% complete demo" never existed.
>Because this wouldn't be taking so long if they actually knew what they were going to do with the game itself.
I can actually see this taking so long if all they had until now were some disorganized notes meant only for the devs eyes, putting all those ideas into a single coherent document takes time, also I'm pretty sure they delayed the document because of chapter 5 release, the doc would have been ignored pretty badly if it release shortly after the new Deltarune chapter.

See, this is why we have to adhere to "no game, no hype" as best as we can, lest we fall victim to disappointment.

Yeah, I feel like having the demo not even out was a dead ringer for this project being toast, well before they even said as much.
A fully playable demo is a big thing for a non-profit project like this, but it's also just barely above the bare minimum when it comes to having proof that there's actually anything to a project to begin with.
>I can actually see this taking so long if all they had until now were some disorganized notes meant only for the devs eyes, putting all those ideas into a single coherent document takes time
Maybe, but I feel like writing a basic summary of what the game was actually going to be about shouldn't be so hard if they actually knew what their plan was, and right now I'd bet they didn't actually have much of an idea of where they wanted to go with it at all, given how little we actually got to see anything of substance.
>the doc would have been ignored pretty badly if it release shortly after the new Deltarune chapter.
Oh, it's gonna get ignored no matter what, I don't think I've ever heard anyone outside of these threads even talk about this game, no one cares.

Funny, since the vast majority of announced fangames don't even have a battle demo, if this guy really were making the game all alone, I think the smart thing to do would have been to release a battle demo to gather more attention, but he didn't even do that
>Maybe, but I feel like writing a basic summary of what the game was actually going to be about shouldn't be so hard if they actually knew what their plan was
Eh. the guy said he was gonna put some drawing in there, maybe he's making detailed art like that "farewell" post or just more mockups, those take time too, for all we know this document could be as long as the one from the cancelled green fangame, but that might be optimistic on my part.
You also have a point with how little info we got on this game, other fanworks give more info before posting their demo, at some point he did say he intended to shadowdrop the thing, but that might have been him justifying not posting anything.
>Oh, it's gonna get ignored no matter what

Well, I guess I can't blame you for having the bare minimum expectations.
It is kinda funny that they couldn't even live up to that though.
>Funny, since the vast majority of announced fangames don't even have a battle demo
True, but the vast majority of announced fangames never actually come out, either. It's like that "28 orange souls" image people post every once in a while, pretty much every single one of those is dead in the water. Being announced isn't enough, there has to actually verifiably be something to it than we can see, otherwise it's still not solid.
>the guy said he was gonna put some drawing in there, maybe he's making detailed art like that "farewell" post or just more mockups, those take time too
If that's the case, there may genuinely be more time and effort going into the game's death certificate than they put into actually making the game itself.
>at some point he did say he intended to shadowdrop the thing, but that might have been him justifying not posting anything.
Almost certainly, I would be very surprised if there actually was anything playable behind the scenes here, at least anything even remotely resembling something that was meant to be presented at any point.
>Fair point, sometimes I forget we are the only ones this autistic about fangames, we must be the only ones who talked and made jokes on UT Futility

I don't know why that would be the case, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me.
I can't imagine why they think people would suddenly take interest in the game's postmortem if no one seemed to care before they announced it was dead though.
Do you think they'll try and "un-cancel" development if the cancellation document gets enough attention somehow, like this is just another ploy for publicity?
I'm not sure if I should put that past them or not.

that's fair. I've got a sense of "if it comes out it comes out" and I'll of course play games that come from outside but there's mountains of stuff that got announced with a title screen and then went absolutely nowhere.
I'd say even on average, most Anon projects here that were dropped still went further than the vast majority of projects outside.
>I don't know why that would be the case
A lot of his posts struck me as "hmm oh I might cancel this, not enough people care about it... unless."

probably narcissism of some sort. it's not really logical but people threaten divorces to get attention after all, so it's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

>Do you think they'll try and "un-cancel" development if the cancellation document gets enough attention somehow, like this is just another ploy for publicity?
100 percent. If they SOMEHOW got a surge of attention I bet he'd post about "well... I have some ideas I hadn't put in this doc yet. Maybe If I kept working..."

>probably narcissism of some sort. it's not really logical but people threaten divorces to get attention after all, so it's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Hm, fair point.
I was gonna say it feels a little late for that, since the game's supposed to already be cancelled by now, but maybe they're waiting a bit longer to see if they can get more attention before making it official.
>If they SOMEHOW got a surge of attention I bet he'd post about "well... I have some ideas I hadn't put in this doc yet. Maybe If I kept working..."

>Still, I want to see the doc. I think it will be fun to look through if we actually get it.
Hm, maybe it could be interesting, could provide some insight into what exactly happened with all that.
Though, being perfectly honest, I'd be willing to bet they might just bullshit it and make up most of the information *for* the document, if they really didn't have an actual plan.
That'd be a riot.

I think even when we're being in good spirits about the shit we say (which to be fair, is more often than not around here), people in other circles like that would take great offense to it. I don't imagine for instance that Luzens creator would take well to what we did with his character.
> rather than having their dick sucked over pretending to make something.
I remember talking a while back about how a lot of these people who've been literally "developing" a fangame for 10 years at this point have probably fallen in love with the "idea" of being a dev rather than being one. Not to say things can't take a long time but like how that one orange game that started when undertale came out has nothing to show for it but it's "seriously still alive guys!"
>>
>>4010701
>yeah, probably so but we'll see (or we wont?)
If it gets even a modicum of attention, the dev's gonna say the game's back in development, and then the cancellation doc is gonna get put back in storage until the dev decides he wants more attention again.
>people in other circles like that would take great offense to it. I don't imagine for instance that Luzens creator would take well to what we did with his character.
Of course, that's why it would be so funny to see.
Probably not a good idea to actually do, but it would be very funny.
>people who've been literally "developing" a fangame for 10 years at this point have probably fallen in love with the "idea" of being a dev rather than being one.
Yeah, I think the odds are good that that's what this was for a pretty long time now.
I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say that I don't think that's what this *always* was, but I think it shifted from being an actual aspiring UT fangame pretty early on.

>Like, when a monster has a nasty wound do they just spew dust from it?
If Undertale is anything to go by, they just sorta get a a hole wherever you hit them.

>I wonder if any monster before or even after the war questioned why Monsterkind is such a bizzare outlier to all other life.
I wouldn't call them an outlier. That would imply they're still part of the same group as all other life, just an unusual example of it. Monsters seem to be a separate type of life with its own origins completely independent or organic life. So while we class them like they're all one species, more accurately they're an entirely different and alien world of life forms.

As to where they come from. Probably something completely unlike where we come from, since they're so fundamentally different from us. Maybe they really did come from hopes and dreams. Or maybe there used to be a lot of loose magic floating around, and over time it coalesced into living beings, sort of like how the warp energy in warhammer slowly formed into gods and daemons (only less evil of course)

It could be worse, I still haven't finished that short story I talked about, I'm near the end but I've been dealing with lower back pain since the chapter 5 release, which has made it hard to focus on writing.

It wouldn't really be bleeding though. It wouldn't flow or drip, just dissolve and blow away. It'd be more like knocking chunks out of a rock.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that, hope your back pain goes away soon.

I think the human ability to harm them is magic manipulation. Just an extremely simple brute force form of it.

Anyways, I think the idea of a human being able to body horror monsters at will feels a little out of place for the setting. Perhaps to control a monsters body like that would require that the person be so closely to connected to them that they would practically have to be the soul inside the monster's body. Otherwise the control would simply be too weak and imprecise to do anything more than kill them, or perhaps hit them with the power of suggestion.
>>
>>4010591
What if the dust doesn't actually have any magical properties at all and the humans were just snorting it out of pure superstition. Only because magic is nothing but feels and vibes, the belief that it works, and the confidence it bestows makes it have a strong effect anyways,

I would think pretty rare. Personally, I think human "magic" isn't at all like monster magic beyond a superficial level. While monster magic is some kind of bizarre alternative to matter than exists as particles and can be manipulated, human magic is more of a reality warping force that bends the world around it to will things to happen. So if a monster wants to heal with magic, they form the magic they have into a replacement for the missing parts. If a human wants to heal, they simply will the wound to be closed and despite all logic and reason, it becomes closed. A monster makes a bullet out of those magic particles and throws it at you. A human concentrates all his malicious intent into the will to shoot you, and you get shot. And of course there are things human magic can do, which are simply beyond the scope of monster magic. Did you royally fuck up? Are you going to die because of the things that have happened? No you aren't, because none of that ever happened, because you say so.
>>
>>4010716
>So if a monster wants to heal with magic, they form the magic they have into a replacement for the missing parts.

Its said that a monsters dust contains there essence, and that spreading that dust on something imparts its essence into that thing. Maybe snorting monster dust gives you traces of the monster's memories and mind. At first its a benefit, letting you see and know more things. But over time it turns into magic schizophrenia. Sort of like adam in Bioshock.

Well, first the channel went silent for a few months, until October, when Wood Man started uploading his own rips until he got called away to fight Mega Man, then eventually The Voice Inside Your Head returned and took over the city Silvagunner lives in, and made an AI based on Silva's mind to make new rips to keep the channel running, but the AI was destroyed back in 2024, as seen in the Goodbye to a World fusion collab, and in one of the recent CCC episodes.
Not to mention the various takeovers there have been throughout the years.

I think that's kinda the idea, it is pretty much DR in how they wish it went, hence the cast being just similar but not the same

>>4010738
I kinda like that "Deafening Champion" design actually.
>>
>>4010740
I know that's the idea, but maybe they should have just used the Deltarune cast if they are going to be so similar, unless they want this to be sort of a parody, asuming this will be a game at all that is.

Yeah, I like the bulkier design.
Like, what if the Knight wasn't some thin but absurdly strong mysterious figure, but was instead a hulking brute that could rip you in half, but is also pretty clearly one guy in particular, but you can't do anything about it because he'll rip you in half.

Maybe its both, the shadowboxer takes down the original knight in chapter 3, breaking the prophecy or acelerating it in the process
>>
>>4010760
IMO I don't think "original" DR fangames should try to add a prophecy, the prophecy adds too much baggage which gets in the way of the story.
>>
>>4010761
Maybe the prophecy was a lie and thats what the shadowboxer wanted to prove by removing the knight, or he knew the prophecy was a lie the entire time, but now he's going to make it "real" so the heroes have higher stakes to face
>>
>>4010763
NTA, but I don't think those are meaningfully different in terms of what they actually mean for the stakes.
If the prophecy *was* real, but it was broken and isn't going to happen anymore, than isn't that the same as saying it was actually never real, since it clearly wasn't actually an accurate depiction of the future?
And if the prophecy *wasn't* real, but now someone's dedicating themselves to making it happen anyway, isn't that the same thing as it being real, if everything it says is still happening?
That just doesn't feel like a good way of handling things.
>>
>>4010765
>If the prophecy *was* real, but it was broken and isn't going to happen anymore, than isn't that the same as saying it was actually never real, since it clearly wasn't actually an accurate depiction of the future?
I guess this would be like a weird route kind of thing, but forced by the shadowboxer going against the original prophecy
>And if the prophecy *wasn't* real, but now someone's dedicating themselves to making it happen anyway, isn't that the same thing as it being real, if everything it says is still happening?
The joke here would be that he shadow only cares for the world ending part of the prophcy maybe he will try to follow specific parts of the prophecy or make poor attempts at replicating them

Veth is the name of their collective headcanon Vessel who is actually a tsundere girl with buck teeth that causes her to lisp and who hangs out with their own female Ralsei and a robot, and also Kris sexually teases Veth.

/sus/ has some people who get more obsessed with their own thread OC's than even Susie herself.

First generation /sus/ was obsessed with Susie's theoretical son, Casey.

Current generation had Veth, now this DeltaSnoot shit.

I know, but that did seem like just about the only really unique element the game had conceptually, so seeing it get thrown out doesn't seem great.
I'm aware concepts get tossed out or reworked all the time in game development, but with UTW in particular, I feel like it really can't afford to being doing away with the few ideas it has that are new but that actually fit within UT's general tone and world.

>/sus/ has some people who get more obsessed with their own thread OC's than even Susie herself.
I suppose its off topic from Susie, but its pretty hard to keep a thread about one character going for 8 years and have it stay on topic. I think the idea of OCs itself is fine (I'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise, considering where I am) but I would say they should probably go for a name change if the thread is all OCs all the time. That's what we did when we stopped being just a UTY thread.

>Current generation had Veth, now this DeltaSnoot shit.
So is this stuff actually bad? Or is the problem just that it has very little to do with Susie?
>>
>>4010799
I think the adult protagonist, love interest, and hiding out plot are unique. And Sunshine is pretty interesting as an antagonist. Plus its still more combat focused than Undertale was.
>>
>>4010805
It wasn't really a tweaker thing when it was discussed before. In that one, instead of doing a normal funeral, she dumped the dust on herself so they could "be together forever". Then as she kept unraveling, she started hearing his voice. Still a very unhinged Roba, but not a tweaker.
>>
I've been listening to the MGR soundtrack for a bit while I work on this drawing, and for some reason, whenever I hear "It has to be this way", I can't help but imagine myself fighting against Ceroba while it plays, and being killed by her impaling me through the chest with her staff.
I kinda wonder what her reaction to that would be if I told her I semi-regularly think about stuff like that, just as idle daydreams.
Anywho, nearly finished with the lineart now.

Visually maybe, but he strikes me as a more self-centered monster antagonist, which we saw a bit of in UT already with Mettaton, though Sunshine does seem a lot more overtly threatening and dark tonally, which I actually do like.

Well, it is a porn thread, isn't it? I wouldn't expect high brow writing from a thread that's all about gooning to Susie.

Actually no. Yes, there was porn, but it basically was a place to actually talk, theorize and stuff in a place safe from jannies.

They refused, on multiple counts, to not just become /utg/, that their devotion to Susie was so strong that they literally chased all the Noelle fans out into their own thread with /doe/. Oh, they also chased out about 90% of their artists and writers as well, but that's to be expected from a general that refuses to go into hibernation even during the years long downtimes of fresh official content.

Well in that case I just say that as Deltarune developed, there became less and less to theorize about, and it became increasingly clear that theorizing was a bad proposition, and that the only winning move was to sit and wait for answers to be given to you.

>they also chased out about 90% of their artists and writers as well,

I had a Mad Mew Mew moveset in my notes for a UT/UTY/DR fighting game that would be waaaaayyyyy too much effort to even attempt to make. He would have been a mixture of Mad Dummy's attacks (e.g. delayed robot dummy projectiles and a knife throw super that can only be used once per match), Mad Mew Mew's mannerisms and attacks as inspiration for normals, and UTY's Mew Mew Love Blaster would have been a fullscreen laser super. I don't have any drawings to post of this and just the fact that I would have given the character a harsh male chainsmoker voice mixed with quotes from the Mew Mew anime dub would make it pretty incompatible with DR's, but this isn't anything I ever would have actually made

I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell it would've gone over well these days, even the Venture Bros. really only got away with it because the show had been going for so long and it aired on Adult Swim, but still, I think it's a funny take on Mew Mew that I haven't seen before.

That's fair.
I don't own a switch, and I wasn't as into UT at the time the switch version came out compared to both before and after that time period, so it took me a while before I learned that the Mad Dummy and Mad Mew Mew are apparently the same person, so I just subconsciously read them as having their own distinct voices.

That's pretty good.
Hopefully the soup wasn't too hot, or else it might undo whatever amount of healing the bowl did.

Eh, that's fair. Anime fighters tend to represent all the popular or major characters in the show. And while MewMew isn't that popular, she has showed up in a major role in both games.

Also that voice gimmick sounds really funny. Like all the taunts are cute anime voice, but supers are a mix of her doing more anime quotes and "her" shouting angrily. And of course the pain sounds are all the male voice.

A remaster/remake/something of my first Ceroba/Anon image, of Ceroba being overstimulated orally by an anon: https://files.catbox.moe/a575wz.png
I don't actually recall if I ever posted the original here at any point. Which is probably for the best, since the original isn't very good.
But, I'd say I've made a decent amount of development in the time that has passed since I first made that original image, as displayed in this newer crack at it, even if it too has its flaws.
I know this sort of thing isn't the most popular around here, but I hope it is enjoyable enough.
Any criticism, feedback, general thoughts, would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what I'm going to work on next. I think I might take a crack at writing something, had an idea I thought was hot while working on this. I feel just a little freer, now that this is done. Not sure why.

I also feel very tired. I haven't slept in so long. I've forgotten what dreams are like.
Now, I can finally rest.
Goodnight.

I could see it working. Femboys are even more common than they were ten years ago, and the trannies might just see it as "representation" for "gender non-comforming trans folk". There are plenty out there that don't even bother trying to throw their voice or who drop it the instant they get upset. I think if he just didn't have anyone comment on the voice or act grossed out by it, it'd probably work out fine.

And of course, he's on 4chan, so he could also just be offensive and suffer no real consequence for it.

Who do you think DRN third dark world party member would be?
>>
>>4010963
The obvious choice would be Val's shadowboxer, but we already established him as a villain, besides he's not an object, just a figment of imagination, but then again, some darkners are computer programs and others are TV channels.

>>4010954

>>4010966
>Shadow boxer would like be the antagonist.
I know, so either he betrays the party early on and is only a party member for the first chapter, or someone else fulfills the role of a party member, maybe a darkner that works as a mentor, like a master Roshi or Kakashi character, someone laid back but that still puts limits to Delta!Val antics.
>And the computer programs could be printed out screenshots and the TV channels be stickers
Maybe some of them, but Spamton is a literal spam email, I don't think they were screenshoting and printing every little thing they saw.

Looks pretty good, I can see you made some significant progress since last year. The shadows are softer, the eyes and snout are better aligned with the head, the hair and ears are more detailed, the overall angle is more complex and Roba's torso has a more defined shape with a waist.
I think the eyes are actually one of the biggest changes, they are proportionally bigger in the original and have more stylized eyelashes, the new ones are better on a technical level, but this one change seems like a shift in your style to something less cartoony, not really a bad thing, just a change that caught my attention.

I meant that it is Riley from Wildfire as a Darkner.

>>4010980
I liked the idea of Riley existing in the same Deltarune setting as Val, but that could work too, so is everyone on the DRN team a damage dealer?
>>
>>4010982
I don't think so, Queztali doesn't seem like a damage dealer to me. And the third guy, depends on how you make the character.
If his name is Lyire then I figure he would be the bard with a lyre.
Otherwise I imagine him wielding a frying pan and using cooking magic as healing.

I imagine Val seething with absolute rage at the bnuyy with him not even noticing that Val is so mad

>>4010987
>I don't think so, Queztali doesn't seem like a damage dealer to me. And the third guy, depends on how you make the character.
Right, I don't think I've seen anyone mention what would be her role as a party member, I think the only ideas regarding that would be that she's on snake form all the time on the dark world, or that her dark world form would be wearing Aztec clothes.
>If his name is Lyire then I figure he would be the bard with a lyre.
Making him not a fighter makes him too removed from OG Riley, he should still have that martial arts part of his, but it could work as a character arc thing, something made Lyrie give up on fighting, yet he still has his moveset from when he used to fistfight.
>Otherwise I imagine him wielding a frying pan and using cooking magic as healing.
Seems too close to green in that aspect.
>I imagine Val seething with absolute rage at the bnuyy with him not even noticing that Val is so mad
Val seething at having a healer on his team? That just means the party can heal the enemies faster and beat them up again once they become stronger, besides I imagine Val would try to eat like Goku or Luffy in the dark world, he should appreciate having a personal cook.

I think he is still a fighter, just uses a lyre. Perhaps Val wanted to learn how to play a guitar, and thats just more salt on the wound for him.
>Seems to close to green in that aspect.
Thats a slightly intentional, they even fight you together in DR. I just don't know what role to give to him.

He is mad because he jobbed to the actual Riley in the LW
>>
>>4011000
>I think he is still a fighter, just uses a lyre. Perhaps Val wanted to learn how to play a guitar, and thats just more salt on the wound for him
Maybe Val had a guitar at some point but it broke and he never got the chance to replace it, or maybe he had some other artistic interest that he couldn't pursue, the lyre being a counterpart to that artistic skill he never developed, since that isn't Val.
>Thats a slightly intentional, they even fight you together in DR. I just don't know what role to give to him.
Makes sense with that logic, I think if he's meant to be a support the bard angle is enough, its more unique and I can see potential for unique interactions involving the magical music.
>He is mad because he jobbed to the actual Riley in the LW
Ah, the opposite joke of what we have going on in these threads, I thought this darkner would be replacing the actual Riley, in that case I can see the light world plot being about Val training to beat Riley in the next tournament/competition or whatever, unless something is stopping Val from ever fighting Riley again, which would only make the seething worse.
With this angle the Shadowboxer being the main villain takes a new look as well, since Val has to help a representation of his biggest rival against a representation of himself.

I mean, he could still be a support and a damage dealer, like the Jester from Darkest Dungeon, he can buff the party's damage, or use his "nuke" spell, which leaves him extremely vulnerable after a single use, his basic attack consists of him whacking the enemy with his lyre, maybe he has a healing spell that works by converting part of the damage done by the team into hp.
>Oh no Val, that horrible INCIDENT, it was so horrible that INCIDENT, that horrible day ooooh. Anyway want to hear me play my lute?
Can't wait for DRN to blue ball us for years about the horrible INCIDENT, or maybe it subverts it by telling us pretty early what is stopping Val from fighting Riley again, either Riley moved out from the town, Val got expelled from the organization that hosts the fights, or if you want to be really extreme, Riley is dead, and Val never got the chance to settle the score.

I think I figured out why Flowery is so strong compared to other darkners. Of course we already have the Watsonian answer, which is that he's just using fake stats, but I mean from a Doylist, thematic perspective.

Darkners have two components: the physical object they're made from, and the emotional element lightners project onto them. The stronger the emotions associated with it, the stronger it becomes in the dark world. Flowery being the central flower of Asgore's wedding bouquet, and being lovingly kept by him for all those years, and representing his love for his family, resulted in all of Asgore's hopes and dreams being poured into this one object. Which in the dark world made it insanely strong. However, being a flower, just about the weakest object a darkner could be based on, his power is almost entirely fantasy.

That's why he's such a larper and so hopium-pilled, he as a character, is made of nothing but hope. And that's also why, when facing off against the knight, which is very real and not concerned with the fantasy, it was able to ignore the fantasy and cut right through the fragile real world object.

I post this here because it isn't too relevant the theorizing going on in the DR threads, but might be useful for anyone wanting to write in the setting, either as a piece of lore, or as an example of thematic metatextual elements harmonizing with the in universe lore.

I saw a screenshot today of a UTY fan asking one of the concept artists questions regarding Starlo. One of the questions was if he was older or younger than Orion. The concept artist said he was older, which makes sense as Starlo’s parents seem to have a need for Starlo to “settle down”. A younger brother wouldn’t be as pushed to “settle down”

Yet, when they were asked about the age of Starlo, they said he was in his late twenties. I actually refuse to believe Starlo and by extension Ceroba are in their late twenties at all, and they come across moreso like they’re in their 30s. Plus, it would imply Ceroba had Kanako at 18-19, or it could even imply… younger than that. And there’s no reason to assume Ceroba and Starlo are that different in age btw. This is pretty much one of the reasons why I can’t take UTY dev “word of god” seriously

Oyajin Review, Part 2

Okay, so this might come down to an irreconcilable difference in interpretation like when I reviewed Valravn Anon's story, but I'll go for it anyway: Would Chujin actually be this desperate to save Clover, given that he hasn't completed his arc yet?

It just feels a bit odd to see a Chujin with unresolved racial hatred be /this/ invested in saving a human's life, even if that human is a child, and he knows them. I may be overstepping here, but I think you could get more complex and believable emotion out of the scene if you leverage the guilt he has about the experiments and his deceptions, and the self-loathing he's probably built up. You can partially keep him caring about Clover, but use the above to muddy the waters about his motivation. Does he recognize his own investment in Clover? Does he make excuses for this investment? You might leverage a schism in his internal monologue with opposing thoughts.

Does he look Ceroba in the eye and lie, and tell her that he did everything he could. Smile at Kanako and tell her that her brother's disappearance was a tragedy that couldn't be helped? Shrug his shoulders and tell /himself/ that he did the logical thing, not risking himself.

Another small thing: I feel like Chujin has more mental composure than he's depicted with here. He manages to keep it together when he finds Inty's mutilated corpse, after all. Maybe have him crack as the chase drags on longer?

There's a nuts-and-bolts error here, in that Chujin must not lose Clover in the forest, but he is close enough for a final lunge to reach Clover. This means that Chujin wouldn't have been much further than a body-length away from Clover when they reach the woodline, but if Chujin is that close, then how could he lose Clover in the forest? He wouldn't need to lunge at all, and it undercuts the drama of the scene if things are well in hand.
>>
>>4011070
You could just nix the final lunge and say that Chujin successfully ran him down, but I would propose something a bit different: Allow the chase to hit the woods. You can leverage the rougher terrain to more effectively show Chujin's resolve. Your current material gets it across with the pain of making an extended sprint, but having him get ripped up by brambles and hit by branches and trip on roots could make for additional drama.
-----------
(Literally wrote fanfiction mid-reply again. I'm sectioning it off, this time.)
What is a child's life worth, /really,/ when that child is human?

A branch clotheslines him and drops him to the ground. His glasses are lost in the dark and the weeds.

What does it matter, /really,/ if the boy dies?

He gropes for them, but they are gone.

You killed one, so what's one more, Chujin? You have your own safety to think about. You have your REAL family to think about. The human is a pretender, and once it has had its fun, it will--

Chujin snarls and pounds his fists into the mud. He abandons his glasses.

(Spectacles as metaphor for reason/rationality. Needs to be rounded out... saying reason is bad, period, is a poor moral.)
At its best, his intellect brings the world into focus. But he recalls watching the tapes back and HATING the man looking at him. Fingers steepled like everything was under control--/his/ control--and the lenses of his glasses catching the light and burying his eyes under their glint. He was never more blind than when he was in that basement lab, and he thought that he alone had the scales peeled from his eyes. Laughable.

Chase turns more animalistic. Sensory based.
------------
>Then, when reasonable failed him, he gave way to unreasonable as ever before.
>shattering his goggles.
Wrote all of that before reading further and seeing these lines. Seems our heads were in a similar place.
>>
>>4011071
I think the dialogue between Ceroba and Chujin dialogue needs another pass. Feels a bit stiff, here and there.

"You couldn't have known" feels off-kilter. I think it should be the precursor to a more personalized conversation, considering that Ceroba's life exploded because she missed/ignored the signs of something bad happening. You could explore Chujin from the same angle, with him reflecting on all the signs of paranoia and ego polluting his thinking and leading to his death spiral of lies and isolation. Or even the experiment himself, always pushing for one more try, killing himself by inches, until there were no more inches left.

And I do think there should have been some signs of something going wrong. You can play in the middle ground, where Clover hid the worst away, but there must have been something they could have seen and acted on.

>I'm not sure how to address it without starting the story earlier in that day, or flashbacking to earlier in the day.
For the photo, you don't have to go so far as a flashback. You can have the revelation be recent, and now that he knows, he can't stop seeing it in the picture, every time he looks. He looks at the picture for the eighth time that night and reflects on how he found out, and then you have a paragraph or two about the inciting incident.

>I may borrow somewhat from the line of thought you used here if it doesn't offend.
I'd be flattered.
>>
>>4011069
This has two of the worse implications. One is that Chujin is an actual groomer. And the other possibility? Kanako is actually the child of Starlo and Ceroba (the bad implication of this is that Starlo was capable of being laid before the age of 20)

I think part of this comes from this being my first fic Idea way back, and the other part being that it in some way follows up to smaller greens that explored the idea a little, but since greens kind of just vanish into history and there’s nothing explicitly tying this to the ideas in those greens, AND the fact that the greens kind of rush that development anyways even if they were directly tied to the story, that all causes it to feel in my head like they are further along in their arc than this isolated story actually communicates. I don’t think you’re overstepping, but I don’t know how to actually resolve that as an issue without making this a longer story, which I may have to do when I finish the others I’m working on

>but I think you could get more complex and believable emotion out of the scene if you leverage the guilt he has about the experiments and his deceptions, and the self-loathing he's probably built up.

I do LIKE these ideas, but I guess, despite how long it ended up being, I felt like this was already growing too long as I was working on it since it was being posted into the thread. I thought the idea of his pride pushing him here would be on brand for him since even if he’s still questioning how much he cares, it would be failing himself, but I see how it’s just such a sudden turn of heart depicted here.

This sounds really good, but I hadn’t considered something like this because “in my head” he was a lot further along in his arc than that, but as you’re kind of pointing out here, why would a reader think that? I’ve given no one any reason to believe that within the context of this story.

>Another small thing: I feel like Chujin has more mental composure than he's depicted with here. He manages to keep it together when he finds Inty's mutilated corpse, after all. Maybe have him crack as the chase drags on longer?
I do think this one is a bit of a difference in perspective though. I figure he’s only outwardly collected when he finds integrity, but internally, and reflected by his sprites when he recounts it, I think it fucked him up more than he shows.

>There's a nuts-and-bolts error here, in that Chujin must not lose Clover in the forest, but he is close enough for a final lunge to reach Clover.
Really? I thought him needing to dive from the top of the hill would show that the distance was greater than that without putting an actual distance to words. Kind of ‘letting gravity close the distance’.
>>
>>4011071
>You could just nix the final lunge and say that Chujin successfully ran him down, but I would propose something a bit different: Allow the chase to hit the woods.
>but having him get ripped up by brambles and hit by branches and trip on roots could make for additional drama.
I’ll consider that, I can see how this would make it more impactful, though the more I look at this the more it feels like I should cut the greens that come before this in my head, and try to start before this night to make a more cohesive story, because if I don’t play up Chujins doubts or make it believable that he’s to the point of running after this kid in the woods in the first place, then it will be more jarring that he’s putting himself through the brambles for this kid.

>A branch clotheslines him…
That whole segment you put together is really good, and the follow up
>(Spectacles as metaphor for reason/rationality.
Stuff is stuff I need some practice to get a grasp on, because I’m not even sure where to begin accounting for things like that before I put pen to page. I am putting some effort into doing more planning before I work things out so maybe that will help me.

>>4011073
>I think the dialogue between Ceroba and Chujin dialogue needs another pass. Feels a bit stiff, here and there.
Honestly I was worried about that as I was writing it, but I just kind of made myself put the words on there as I came up with them.

>You couldn't have known" feels off-kilter. I think it should be the precursor to a more personalized conversation, considering that Ceroba's life exploded because she missed/ignored the signs of something bad happening
I think again this comes from me in my head thinking that their arc is a little further along than it is as I’m writing it. Ceroba saying that as she herself as she’s had the years on the surface to think about what she did, or what Chujin did, but again I’m not really communicating that in the writing anywhere, am I.
>>
>>4011073
>And I do think there should have been some signs of something going wrong.
Yeah and there definitely was, the green about Clover wounding his hand and freaking out, the green about Clover often coming into chujins shop when he can’t sleep, but those themselves are kind of rushed because they are a short greentext, and there’s only a few small hints at it at best in the writing, so I see what you’re saying.

>For the photo, you don't have to go so far as a flashback. You can have the revelation be recent, and now that he knows, he can't stop seeing it in the picture, every time he looks. He looks at the picture for the eighth time that night and reflects on how he found out, and then you have a paragraph or two about the inciting incident.
I think writing this without the mindset that readers somehow magically know things that exist only in my thread, or in a discussion that’s archived 5 months old would go a long way. Maybe I don’t need to rewrite the entire things like you said, but I’m not being mindful of what the reader would or would not know here I think.


Once again, thank you for the detailed reply, and for taking the time to read through it of course!
I'm gonna give this some thought, even as I work on my other stuff. There are some things I really like about the story set up having a bit of a personal fixation on the whole oyajin thing, but I can definitely see what you're getting at.
I also fear that I could be pushing myself to do higher wordcounts in a single day to get things done, than I should reasonably do, and could probably benefit from slowing down a bit and giving some thought/trying to be more productive over the course of a week rather than jamming things out in one night.

Also sorry to everyone else for the walls of text.

Thank you for this too, I'm really glad that came out better.
If I'm being completely honest, the snout is one of the most difficult things to deal with when it comes to drawing Ceroba, simply because I'm not always sure I can get the geometry of it right whenever I do it, and that can lead to me feeling unwilling to draw her at all sometimes, which is why it's been so long since I last drew her, despite her still being one of my favorite characters. So, it's nice to hear I'm apparently getting a bit better at it, even if I still have more to learn.

Are they? I actually thought I used basically the same method for the shading, with them just being solid colors, albeit with slightly better actual placement.
>the eyes and snout are better aligned with the head
Yeah, I do think I definitely did that better with the newer version. Looking back at the old one made me cringe just a bit, if I'm honest.
>I think the eyes are actually one of the biggest changes, they are proportionally bigger in the original and have more stylized eyelashes, the new ones are better on a technical level, but this one change seems like a shift in your style to something less cartoony, not really a bad thing, just a change that caught my attention.
Hm, that is a good observation on your part, but I think the actual difference in the eyes between the two pieces was more due to not spending as much time on the details, as opposed to a conscious choice on my part. I find expressions to be difficult to execute properly, because of how important I consider them to be when it comes to a piece that heavily relies on a specific character's mood or reaction, which usually either leads to me spending a disproportionate amount of time trying to get the expression right, or to me just saying "good enough" past a certain point and moving on. Here, I did the latter, but I think if I was willing to spend a bit more time on it to refine certain details, I'd have given her more distinct eyes, or at least bigger eyelashes or something.

It makes you cringe, but that drawing got you one step closer to your latest piece.

There are charts for different drawn facial expressions, maybe you could practice by drawing character portraits with those faces? You wouldn't even have to color it, an sketch would be enough since the important part is portraying how the character is feeling, that could let you experiment with different eye shapes too.
Just an idea I'm throwing around.
>>
>>4011117
>You definitely improved but out of curiosity do you ever do studies on snouts?
Sort of?
I do try and study specific things when I draw sometimes, but usually I do it in the form of making an entire piece with its own idea, and attempt to practice whatever it is while making said piece. That was actually the purpose of that one Chujin image I made, and I'd say it worked out well enough at the time, though I ought to study some more.
>Funny how that works isnt it. Or maybe its not funny and rather its frustrating
You may laugh if you wish.
I should try and overcome this, so that I can draw her more frequently than I do, I have a decent amount of ideas for her. If nothing else, I did get this one done decently quickly, compared to the approximate month the original one took, even if that one ended up taking a bit longer due to me accidentally exploding my computer for a few days too.
>But yeah definitely an improvement.
Yeah, definitely.

That's not a bad idea, but it's a little hard for me to get myself to sit down and work on something that I know won't be much more than a basic practice sketch, so I usually try and make some small actual piece whenever I'm studying something.
This has the unfortunate effect of making my development in some areas rather glacial, but it's just some mental thing I guess. I'll probably try and work on that eventually.

You can make it more fun by taking a face from some meme or reaction image and drawing it alongside the others, exaggerated expressions make for a good practice.
>This has the unfortunate effect of making my development in some areas rather glacial, but it's just some mental thing I guess. I'll probably try and work on that eventually.

Hm, maybe. I guess there are some smaller joke images I wanted to make with a similar concept to that, basing them off certain expressions that have been made into memes.
>Hey, you still draw a lot, even if you don't study as much as you would want, you're still developing your skills, it would be worse if you only studied but did no practice.
Yeah, but I could still stand to pick up the pace some, draw a bit faster.
My mind's a bit foggy right now, so I'm not sure what I want to work on right this minute, but I've got a few smaller ideas I want to get to soon enough, namely a few with Wiki, but there was also something I wanted to try and write too, about Ceroba.
Guess we'll see what I decide to work on next when I get to it.

Honestly that does bring up another weird thing never addressed in UT/DR. And that's regarding humanoid monsters. Aka monsters that's entire thing is that they were once humans. Like Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Skeletons, etc. For example. Hypothetically If a human necromancer decided to raise a Human Skeleton from the dead, how fucking weird and causing of an existential crisis would that be for a Skeleton Monster. The undead probably wouldnt count as a Monster monster right? A magical apparition definitely but not anything like an actual memeber of Monsterkind.

From what UT/DR and fan games have shown, they just lum- in those types of humanoid monster's with the rest of monsterkind and change their features up to make them look less related to humans. But it would be interesting if there were beings that were human at their core, but due to their nature and differences compared to baseline humanity they just get lumped in with Monsters.

>Human Skeleton from the dead, how fucking weird and causing of an existential crisis would that be for a Skeleton Monster.
To be fair, neither Papyrus nor Sans look like actual human skeletons, Papyrus is closer to one, but the proportions of his skull are too exaggerated to be considered human.
Also I think "undead humans" would work like animals or plants, as long as they don't have a human soul in their body, they are just an animated physical being without a soul.

I'm aware, what I was more getting at is how weird would a Skeleton Monster, that was born and raised a skeleton and never once related to humanity in any way, feel about seeing like an actual animated human skeleton brought to "life" via dark magic. Honestly just a general human cadaver would probably be freaky on its own as well.

4chan projects tend to become vaporware, Snoot Game being notable for actually getting released at all let alone being good. There are a lot of people here with the right kind of autism that keeps them on their projects for years but we have to understand we're an outlier and there are hundreds of corpses of fangames from this site, with the likelihood of dying significantly going up if it's a community effort rather than one primary dev.

I'm still mourning the death of Megaman VR from when /vr/ got made all the way back in 2013, and know to set my expectations low accordingly; you wonderful faggots have given me some much-needed hope in projects here getting completed, but we'll have to see if Undertale fans from a completely different board have the same autism.

Beyond that I think not!Kris and Not!Susie look too derivative, Not!Susie's sporty outfit isn't as appealing to me as Susie's teenage dirtbag look, and it being a VN rather than having UTDR's gameplay is a bit disappointment, though I acknowledge that it at least makes it more likely for something to come from it.

Oh, and very important: looking at all the concept art for NPCs beyond the group posted earlier in the thread, most of them seem too "furry" for a Deltarune expy. Toby Fox's games have furry characters despite what I've seen some people claim but a lot of them have goofy proportions. The porcupine girl, the octopus nerd, and the exposed-skull crocodile could easily be translated into a Toby Fox-like artstyle I feel, but on the whole even Undertale Yellow, a fangame criticized for how many traditional anthro characters are in it, has a lot more variety. Unrelated strikes me less as a world with humans and monsters and more a world with humans and anthros, and that's fine for an original project but doesn't capture the tone of what it's aping, and I'm only making the criticism in relation to Deltarune

I think one of the problems it has is that pretty much all the women are designed to be attractive or straight up sexy, while the guys have a more 50/50 balance, some of them are designed to be attractive while the others are closer to the goofy designs you'd see in UTDR
Also, almost all of them being normal animals and not something more unique feels like a missed opportunity, two of them are "living statues" but that feels like an excuse to add more humans without them actually being ones.

This: https://4chan.org/bans
It lets you see recent bans, the reason for said bans, and ban duration. Only the recent ones though, so it's not the most useful thing in the world, but maybe you can still see what happened to you, provided there haven't been too many bans since.
>spoiler
Guilty as charged, why?
>>
>>4011196
Just checked, I got banned yesterday but the link doesn't say when they issued the ban. My best guess is because I talked in the C:U thread over on /v/ but it was on topic so idk. I guess I'll suffer the three days.

>Why?
Just curious. I had the inkling feeling it would be you. It was a good Roba pic but because of the ban I couldn't say and later I forgot to say from phone.

Thanks, I'm decently happy with how it came out, though I'm still somewhat miffed at the WIP screenshot I posted on twitter doing better than it by a lot.

Ain't that the truth? I know that feel really well too. I have a pic idea I wanna dras but I'm not sure I can execute it well enough to share.
>>
>>4011211
Mind if I ask what the idea is?
I think people around here are generally pretty receptive to new content from within the threads themselves, so I think it'd be worth sharing even if you think you might not do it well enough.
>>
>>4011210
I heavily referenced my friend's art and had help with some stuff from him too but I'm happy with it. I think you could do a great job with it.

also not to be weird but do you do any comm works at all?
>>
>>4011212
Originally it was gonna be just my character (the cat I've shared long ago) with Mina from Mina the hollower sitting on her shoulder, but now I'm thinking of addinvlg in Orange as well, standing on her other shoulder. I just really grew to like her and it's a completely on whim thought.
>>
>>4011214
Well, it would technically be relevant to share here if Orange was included, so I'd say you could give it a try.
>>
>>4011215
Ye, that's the only reason why I could even share it here but this would be my first time ever having 3 characters in a pic and it's making me nervous. Plus I'm never really satisfied with my art, with rare exceptions.
>>
>>4011216
>Ye, that's the only reason why I could even share it here but this would be my first time ever having 3 characters in a pic and it's making me nervous.
Well, I don't know how exactly you'd want to compose such a drawing, but I think the (presumably) different scale of the characters might make it easier, if you wanna try and map out the basic sketch before getting to work on it.
>Plus I'm never really satisfied with my art, with rare exceptions.
Well, that's just being an artist, isn't it?
It's a good thing, it means you're still looking for ways to improve, instead of being completely satisfied with where you're at and stagnating as a result.
>>
>>4011217
>Well, I don't know how exactly you'd want to compose such a drawing
Originally I just wanted to do something cute with some large proportions since I can't stop myself but then I finished chap 5 and saw Sig's and other fanarts of Orange and my mind went like. "You alreads have one mouse, why not add another one?"
>>
>>4011218
Oh, I was referring literally to the composition of the image itself, how the characters would be positioned relative to each other, their sizes, perspective, etc.
If you can work that out even with something simple like a stick figure model, I don't think it should be too much trouble for you.
>>
>>4011220
Oh, I misread the how to why, idk how. As for idea I already sorta have it but might be for the best to go for a stick figure too. I'm not sure what kinda design to go for orange tho, do I use an already existing one or try and make up my own.
>>
>>4011204
Nice one Sig, I think it looks good,
I kind help but find it ironic that Martlet has such milf like body, despite not having had children yet, but I have no doubt she'd be a good mother.
Ceroba looks very nice to. You can't have it all Ceroba, sometimes you just have to take the L.

And counting.
I might just have to fire and forget this one once it's done, this one's gonna be a mess.
>Care to give us a sampler?
Maybe once I have a better idea of how to describe any of this, I'm not as confident in my writing as I am in my drawing, and this is by far the horniest idea I've actually done anything with in a long while, so I'm just a little bit embarrassed about it.
It's also a fetish(?) I just found out I find sexy like, two nights ago, so it's not something I've ever done before.
>At what point in the UTY timeline does it happen?
Nondescript, the events of UTY themselves aren't necessarily very relevant to what happens here.
Generally, whenever I imagine Ceroba/Anon stuff in any kind of detail, I usually imagine the situation as being that UTY happened mostly normally, but with Anon replacing Clover, and also somehow getting into a relationship with her before or after giving up his soul.
So, we can say this happens after the events of UTY and presumably pacifist UT, with Ceroba and Anon being married and living together.

>Christ anon, I don't think I could write that much in a single day.
I didn't think that either, but something about this idea really got a hold of me.
I dunno, I guess my evil, twisted soul's just been yearning to put Ceroba through the wringer lately, I've been thinking about it a lot.
Not that anything in this is actually *that* extremely out there, it's nothing gross, or cruel, or any of that, it's just a bit weirder than I usually do, in some certain specific ways.
Eh, you'll see soon enough, I'm trying to have it done tonight.

A friend's horny art is definitely a big inspiration.

Ah, I get that. Starting up something again after leaving it alone for so long can start to seem impossible, but it's not. It may be daunting, but eventually it'll come back to you, with enough time and effort.
I trust you'll get there soon enough.
>I'll never do. If that makes sense.
Now, this.
This, I'm afraid you're mistaken on.
The grammatically correct phrase would be "I never will", while "I'll never do" is incorrect, as "I'll" or "I will" requires the presence of a word such as "that" or "it" in order to be a complete sentence.

According to the 8 hour long Deference for Darkness video I've been listening to continuously since I started writing, I wrote this in about five hours and forty minutes, start to finish, in one session.
This is also my first attempt at writing anything of this length, just under 20,000 characters.
Neither of those are probably good things.

problem as old as smart phones on this site to be honest. When your ip switches sometimes it switches over to one that had caught a ban in the past (and a lot of people do perma worthy stuff from their phones causing entire phones).
I generally don't mention when it happens because I don't want some mod to think I'm actually evading when It wasn't my ban in the first place, but I think most people generally know what the deal is.

yeah it's like 3.3k words which is actually a good number of words regardless. I came to find out recently that professional writers often limit themselves to 1-2k words a day to not overload themselves and leave time for quality checking and stuff.
Some authors apparently stay as low as 500 a day.

The designs for the main 4 are a real turn off, to the point that I didn't even want to read any of the lore. The rest of the characters, the actually original ones, look pretty nice. I'd say that it should try to be less derivative and either just make it be actual Deltarune characters like Snoot did for GVH, or make the characters wholly original as opposed to cheap copies with the serial numbers files off. That Ralsei/Asriel looks like something from gay furry porn, that Susie is the most generic shark woman I've ever seen, that Kris is just Kris but green and with less personality, and that Noelle is literally just Noelle with her two most defining traits removed.

No, he's super turbo gay precisely because he's a femboy that doesn't even look like an effeminate man. He just looks like a woman with no tits.

Blue is still gayer though.

>>
>>4011332
3.5k words in 5 hours is impressive for someone who does write. It takes me closer to 10 hours to write that much on a good day.
>>
>>4011334
500 is considered a beginner workload (sometimes 1000 is) but a novel is usually only 30-50 thousand words in length, so I assume they aren't writing every day. I know I can't write every day. I just write when the fire's hot.

Does he do porn? Or is non porn stuff?
>>
>>4011406
500 is considered a beginner workload, but there are professional authors who stuck to that amount and just did it every day.
Apparently Ernest Hemingway was known for making 500 his quota and stopping at that.

it seems the range is 500-2500 for most authors outside of specific days they pushed for more/deadline chasing.

WIth those eyelashes, pink eyes and pink eyeshadow? He's more feminine than some actual femboy characters
>>
I thought of a suggestion for DRYanon due to this oppressive summer heat and because of Bero's description of Eastwood being very warm. On one of the days, maybe there is a heatwave and Cole/Kanako wear t-shirts in the light world because of it. I don't know if there are plans to have a dark world in the bathhouse, but if there are I imagine you want it to be a sort of water-themed world. Why not have puzzles where Cole and Kanako wear swimsuits and swim to solve a puzzle for Axis to cross (since he is a robot and cannot touch water)? It would be a fun change of pace.
>>
>>4011396
If they did a middle point between that pic and their current style, the character would look like DR's main cast, but slightly more atractive

No, anon. Ralsei is still obviously a boy with feminine features. He still has the facial structure and body shape of a male. That other character just looks like a girl.

Does he? His face is pretty much the same as Toriel's, and, barring some exceptions, its not like the female characters in Deltarune have super feminine figures either, .

Chujin...

I used that because I don't have any swimsuit pictures of Kanako and Cole together. I think it would work very well, especially if swimming has its own mechanics like climbing does in chapter 4.

Its closer to Asriel's or Asgore's, or at least close enough to count as masculine.

My point still stands that Ralsei looks like an effeminate boy.
>>
>>4011432
>especially if swimming has its own mechanics like climbing does in chapter 4.
Hey! What did we say about looking into other devs heads without their consent?
>>
>>4011435
I'm not gonna argue that Not!Ralsei doesn't look like girl, but I'm only saying this because I've seen people in the past mistaking Ralsei for a girl, so he's not much better either, each of those designs is a more exaggerated or blander version of DR's main cast

Bungou Stray Dogs Wan 2. It appears to be some sort of skit comedy spinoff of another show called Bungou Stray Dogs. And the dog appear to just be a joke about the title, while the actual show is about human detectives.

That's just what I'm guessing based on what I've seen of it. I only just discovered it because of the thumbnail on the front page of the piracy site I use.

Speaking of Kana being weird around Cole...how'd she do this
>>
>>4011480
When did this happen?
>>
>>4011109
>And by "kill", you mean...?
it's gonna be an (erotic) massacre
>>
>>4011481
Day 2 light world after you go to Sadie's house. I think it's exclusive to the alt route? When Kana asks to go to the mines you can say no. She'll act like she didn't hear you right and ask for you to repeat yourself and then that happens
>>
>>4011484
So does she choose for you? Or can you still say no?
>>
>>4011480
I assume it has to do with her being a boss monster. Which are the only Monsters who can even hold a candle to or challenge human soul power/determination. It also might be because of her close relationship to Cole and her somehow mooching off his power.

Perhaps humans and mosnters that are particularly close to each other develop a sort of Soul Bond that can achieve similar power to that of a monster who's absorbed a human soul.
>>
>>4011485
You can still say no and she gets sad, but the point is that it demonstrates she has such power in the first place to even attempt to do so (and also being a tad creepy). Honestly quite creative because we've never seen a monster character actually attempt something like she has.

You've heard of groomer Dess theory, but what about groomer Mooch theory?

>>4011487
Is there ever an explanation for the soul sharing ability Kanako and Cole have?
>>
>>4011488
BRUSHING, MOOCHES, TAIL as she occasionally KICKS HER LEG A LITTLE while I work the brush through her FLUFFY TAIL and it makes her STUTTER on whatever she was saying AT THAT MOMENT
>>
>>4011492
I just assume its inspired by the many ideas fans have had over the years of Kanako absorbing Clover's soul are their souls being paired. So far in DRY they arent sharing a soul or anything, but I get the feeling the bonds between both their souls and how close it gets will gradually. I'm sure that will become a negative consequence in the weird route given that's happened to Clover's soul in Ch 1 weird route. It's also important to remember that most headcanon interpretations for "Kanako and Clover meet each other" AUs is that Kanako and Clover have a special human-monster relationship akin to Asriel and Chara. And if shit goes bad it might end in tragedy like the latter's.
>>
>>4011486
Honestly a marriage between a human and a monster might be a more loving and genuine marriage than anything else with hypothetical concepts such as SOUL bonding. Brings a whole new meaning to Soulmates and the Power of Love.
>>
>>4011490
Who is she grooming? Who would be retarded enough-
Wait maybe Starlo really is that retarded to get groomed at his age
>>
>>4011497
Starlo and Clover make for easy dumb as bricks cowboy men to maniupate with her feminine willies. Make up some bs about how doing petty theft is actually a very noble and cowboy thing to do (I mean historically many cowboys are straight up just bandits and outlaws)
>>
>>4011484
Is it the alt route where you give up your light, or where you cause Kanako to freak out with critically low confidence? I thought the mines date needed high enough confidence, which rules out that path being compatible. Or am I getting things mixed up from an earlier version of the game?
>>
>>4011494
>given that's happened to Clover's soul in Ch 1 weird route.
What happened? I only played the original version.
>>
>>4011497
Mooch, I know you're not the brightest, but at you're age with a consenting adult like Starlo it's called "seduction".
>>
>>4011501
Not really sure. I downloaded and started a fresh run a few days ago. I did both of those things on this run. I'm assuming it has more to do with getting kana to freak out, but considering the implications of cole losing his light and how you need her help to seal fountains it WOULD make narrative sense for that to also be a requirement
>>
>>4011506
>>4011501
right now hard mode is not a requirement for alt route since it was just a challenge thing, but I am considering making it now mandatory as part of the alt route since people want me to expand it with "themes and such"
>>
>>4011502
okay so uh very early on in Ch1 in the starting area, there is a hidden location you can find. You find a chest, but a dark entitiy with one eye prevents you from opening it. It says the chest is his, but will be willing to give it to you if you give it your LIGHT (the game wars you that doing so is probably a very bad idea). If you agree to give your LIGHT to the entity it kinda corrupts Clover's Yellow Soul and sometimes Clover's soul has a darkness in it. You get a unique gun from the chest called the Dark Shot as a reward. I dunno why that visual only appears sometimes but it might be significant.

that's just me missing spots where it should appear, if you could list them would help me fix them

Ah I see. Question, is the darkness in Cole's soul only suppose to appear when he's in the Dark World, or does it carry into the Light World as well?

it should appear in all instances

okay so I only played the new and improved Ch 2 and its weird route two months ago so idk how much you mightve already fixed but it seems that nearly all overworld stuff has Clover's soul look normal, but in battle mode it has the darkness in it. Like, when I played the game im pretty confident options like this>>4011480
didnt have the darkness in the soul, so you mightve already been doing some fixing. Sorry if it doesnt help much my memory isnt great on the topic.

>>4011507
Any backward compatibility for players who did one but not the other, or will their saves just be screwed?
Also no reply needed but the "beach episode" idea sounds fun.

>>4011507
I would say keep them separate. They feel kinda incompatible. One is chasing control, the other is giving it up.
>>
>>4011515
Ah, he was only in a secret room, and a non-secret room if you did something Nerdly.
>>
>>4011519
>>4011507
I'm gonna add to this, the alt route being hard mode exclusive also robs it of its evil, making it all the fault of the darkness, rather than it being your fault.
>>
>>4011522
alright then, I will keep it separated
also I added a few more "difficulty" things to it like reduced TP from grazing and increased prices in shops
>>
>>4011526
Here's an idea I just had for a fun sequence in the evil route (or whatever you end up naming the one involving Kanako), you could have Kanako pull a D-fens and threaten a shopkeep into offering more reasonable prices. Maybe normally its a Muffet style joke shop, with 999$ items, but she scares the hell out of the clerk and makes them sell everything for cheap.
>>
>>4011522
I know maybe this might not be appreciated thematically by people with preconceived notions of what the weird route was.
But a loss of agency would be appropriate
>>
>>4011534
You DRYanon?
>>
>>4011534
So what makes it so thematically relevant? It seems to me like the whole route is chasing more agency, both for Cole and Kanako.
>>
>>4011543
>>4011534
really, don't go in expecting the alt route to be "deep" or touch in "themes and such" because it is mainly just cool moments I thought of that I want to make and show but don't really have a deep meaning behind it
DRY will be light ish on meta themes, there are some, but nowhere near what toby is doing for DR
the hard mode can fit in the route if I adjust just a few things so there is the option to make it mandatory, but even if it stays as an optional thing, I will make it have some more in depth stuff later just so it is at least something and not just a modifier
>>
>>4011564
Well if we're going by rule of cool, I think the cool factor of hard mode and the cool factor of the alt route to be pretty opposed to each other. It kinda takes away from the cool edgy idea of Kanako and Cole going postal of feeling too weak by having it instead be because of the evil dark thing controlling their minds.
>>
>>4011537
No
>>4011564
I mean it's your game, do what comes natural :)
Think of it more like an onion ring at the bottom of your fries.
It's not what you asked for, you may or may not like it, but it's there.
>>
>>4011566
NTA but I don't think that's what's happening. They aren't controlled by anything, Cole just loses his ability to produce light, and somehow that gets temporarily rekindled when he joins hands with Kanako. I don't think it's affecting his behavior in any way, it's just his soul is missing that light. Ignoring themes and such I just thought it made sense that Cole needing Kana's help to seal fountains would create or strengthen some sorta soul bond between the two of them that could allow her to partially control your actions if she wanted to.
>>
>>4011486
Spoilers, but I guess a long time has passed already
Kanako's soul shattered and cracked during the INCIDENT and Cole used a piece of his soul so she wouldn't die and would be able to continue living. This is why you can control Kanako
>>
>>4011285
So, out of sheer morbid curiosity, anybody read this thing?
What'd you make of it?
>>
>>4011580
It could very easily be read as that. Hell I'm still extremely skeptical selling his soul has no negative effects outside of that. We saw what selling it in Undertale did. Chara took control of Frisk whenever he wanted and used it to kill everyone on the surface.
>>
>>4011584
When did that get revealed? Is there a cutscene I missed?
>>
>>4011587
Sorry anon, it's been a busy day so I haven't been able to do anything but work/handiwork. I do plan on giving it a try until it gets too uncomfortable at least.
>>
>>4011584
that's really cool though if this is actual spoilers why drop it now? Considering working it into day 2 more overtly?
>>
Ok DRYanon, if these cutscenes are as lore relevant as people make them out to be, you need to make them harder to miss. This stuff is way too important to be hidden like that.
>>
>>4011589
There is no cutscene, the game doesnt tell you outrighr, but it is hinted at many times in the game. Dialogue about it is scattered throughout the game (Most is in the alt route). You have to figure it out yourself though
>>
>>4011592
>>4011593
I am not DRYanon though, and to me it seems as something you are not supposed to figure out much later. Would be lame to drop something like this so early
>>
>>4011596
Well I hope you make that a reveal later. That seems way too important to just leave as a subtle implication. Its like Asriel and Chara tier, which is something Undertale went out of its way to explicitly state to you in every route.
>>
>>4011597
So if you're not meant to figure it out early or late then when are you supposed to figure it out?
>>
>>4011600
I think that there will be a point in the story were it will be revealed out right. As of now it's just being set up for it, but you can figure it out early like flowey being asriel or the knight being dess

>>4011605
DR AUs aren't too common yet since we don't know how the story will go or end, there is chapter rewritten but they already assume that the knight is dess, and if it is revealed otherwise later then it won't match anymore
I also saw a DR swap take that swapped kris with noelle and susie with berdly but it only had a small intro cutscene

Hey, it was mainly a fetish story, but it had some of that too, that anon built some insanely complex contraption in under a few hours, Ceroba was super into anon's fetish too, and there's that line about Ceroba not getting used to the size

Okay, fair, I was writing that mostly with my dick.

I did write the opening after I wrote everything else though, which is why the Anon built the thing so fast, because I couldn't be bothered to write too much more for it, if you were wondering.
As for the other stuff...
Ah, what can I say, I get some weird ideas sometimes.

Mostly? Ah well, I won't judge for your source of inspiration, this isn't that different from when an artist draws something while horny.

I didn't even know sensory deprivation was a fetish before reading that story, but it does "make sense" when you think about it regarding other fetishes.
>>
>>4011625
Make it take place in San Francisco, Cole is the last living straight human and everyone in monster San Fran is trying to inject him with the gay virus, Kanako is the only monster who's actually trying to help Cole, but her heterosexuality is being threatened by the yuri curse
>>
>>4011627
>Mostly?
Okay, yeah, but you get the idea.
>Ah well, I won't judge for your source of inspiration, this isn't that different from when an artist draws something while horny.
Well, I also do that sometimes, so I guess this isn't too new for me.
>I didn't even know sensory deprivation was a fetish before reading that story
I actually didn't either, the idea only manifested in my head when I was working on my recent Ceroba drawing and thinking about that brief conversation I had here about oral or whatever, and I started thinking of how I could make the idea of receiving oral hotter to me, and then I ended up with the idea that I would turn into that "fic" like two days later.
It was all just a very convenient sequence of events.
Or, inconvenient, if you consider the time I lost working on my drawing as I started thinking about the idea more.
>but it does "make sense" when you think about it regarding other fetishes.
I mean, I guess in the sense that it's not *that* weird in comparison to other things, but it's definitely still weird, by my own admission.
I don't think it's something I'll do too often, or even necessarily a second time, but the idea of Ceroba almost exclusively being able to feel Anon's cock(s) and becoming afflicted with cocklust was too interesting for me not to try it just once.
I dunno, I like the idea of her temporarily becoming an inconceivably horny monster for just a bit, it's hot.
>>
>>4011605
The town is exactly the same but the residents stay up slightly longer and like to street race. Dina sells booze and Cole and Kanako keep trying to get some with increasingly elaborate hijinks.

>>4011629
>I actually didn't either, the idea only manifested in my head when I was working on my recent Ceroba drawing
Never thought about Fetishes simply manifesting into someone's head, but here we are.
>Or, inconvenient, if you consider the time I lost working on my drawing as I started thinking about the idea more.
I'd say that at least you improved your writing skills from this, but given the special circumstances, and that by your own admission you don't intend to write as a hobby, then maybe it was more on the inconvenient side, oh well, at least you had fun.
>I mean, I guess in the sense that it's not *that* weird in comparison to other things, but it's definitely still weird, by my own admission.
I wasn't saying that it was normal, that's why I put it into quotation marks, I was simply stating that I can see how that can be a fetish.
>I dunno, I like the idea of her temporarily becoming an inconceivably horny monster for just a bit, it's hot.
See, when you put it like that anyone can understand why you find this hot, even if the context is weird, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the story in someway, but that was mostly because I ignored all the bondage stuff and focused on the horny roba getting some dick.
>>
>>4011633
>Never thought about Fetishes simply manifesting into someone's head, but here we are.
I don't actually think this is the first time this has happened with me in particular, but I know it's happened to other people before.
It just kinda happens when something is adjacent enough to a fetish you already have, and you start making enough connections for it to worm its way into an idea you like.
>by your own admission you don't intend to write as a hobby, then maybe it was more on the inconvenient side, oh well, at least you had fun.
Well, there is always the chance I'll get possessed by another weird idea I feel compelled to write out like this, so I guess any improvements I made could still be useful somehow, some day.
>See, when you put it like that anyone can understand why you find this hot
Well, that, and the part where Ceroba stops thinking about anything other than Anon's cock, and enters a weird cock-fueled zen-state. That one's probably less generally appealing to other people though.
>and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the story in someway
That is very genuinely surprising to me.
>but that was mostly because I ignored all the bondage stuff and focused on the horny roba getting some dick.
Ah, I see.
Yeah, fair enough, bondage isn't everyone's thing I suppose.
The bondage was one of the tamer parts from my perspective, but I guess I usually have an inverted view on things around here anyway.
>>
>>4011639
>It just kinda happens when something is adjacent enough to a fetish you already have, and you start making enough connections for it to worm its way into an idea you like.
All the fetishes I've unlocked come from seeing something that made me feel funny, so I can't say I have ever gotten a kink just from thinking really hard, sounds like an inconvenient "skill".
>so I guess any improvements I made could still be useful somehow, some day.
I'll read those other stories too, provided they are short enough, my morbid curiosity has its limits.
>spoiler
That's just a more intense version of being horny, is not a weird as it sounds since in you fic its only temporary, It would be a different story if it were permanent.

To be fair, everyone here seems to have mostly vanilla tastes, except when it comes to unbirth for some reason.

Ah, the tried and true method of getting off to weird stuff, a classic.
>so I can't say I have ever gotten a kink just from thinking really hard, sounds like an inconvenient "skill".
Well, it takes a little more than that, but I guess you're right.
Really though, I'm not sure if this is entirely a new kink for me, since I think I just like the idea of this stuff happening with Ceroba in particular, I don't think I'd care much for it with any other character.
Make of that what you will.
>I'll read those other stories too, provided they are short enough, my morbid curiosity has its limits.
Yeah, I don't think I'll be writing an Odyssey-length fic about one of my scrimblos being the subject of some comically horny bullshit any time soon, I don't think I have that kind of energy.
>That's just a more intense version of being horny, is not a weird as it sounds since in you fic its only temporary,
Hm, I suppose.
I've gotta say, it's still a little funny to me how often I'll say something in particular is weird, only for other people to say it's not actually that weird, but whenever I mostly view something as normal, that's* what registers as weird to people, it's a very consistent pattern I see.
>It would be a different story if it were permanent.
Oh yeah no, I hate that kind of thing.
I mean, that's basically just an actual lobotomy at that point, which is horrific on the face of it, but I also never liked overriding people's agency when it comes to sex stuff, at least not on an actual mental level like that.
What's the point of sex if not focusing on the other person involved?
>To be fair, everyone here seems to have mostly vanilla tastes
Which is a little weird, given that we're on 4chan of all places, but oh well.
>except when it comes to unbirth for some reason.
I think most people aren't actually into that part in particular, and just like the idea for the momlet aspect.
>>

If you only write in sprints, I assume write something of that length would kill you, we would never get to see your magnum opus of freakishness.
>but whenever I mostly view something as normal, that's* what registers as weird to people
What's the most "normal" thing you're into?
I don't like character's getting their personality overwritten either, I can somewhat ignore it in art if the drawing is good enough, but in fics is just a big no for me, some people are into some horrific shit.
>Which is a little weird, given that we're on 4chan of all places, but oh well.
We do have freaks from time to time, but it seems all the freaks here have different tastes from each other.

Eh, I think it's moreso just that I think it's really hot with her, not that I *associate* it with her because of her writing or anything.
I can't help but imagine Ceroba giving me a weird look upon finding out about all the freaky stuff I imagine with her and her alone, there's a lot.
>If you only write in sprints, I assume write something of that length would kill you, we would never get to see your magnum opus of freakishness.
Eh, I don't think my magnum opus would come about through writing, drawing's where my energy usually flows better.
>What's the most "normal" thing you're into?
From my perspective?
Uh.
Does BDSM count? Like, bondage, and one person being made to (consensually) submit to their partner?
If not that, then probably cuddling then, though I do also have some weirder tastes for that too.
>in fics is just a big no for me, some people are into some horrific shit.
Yeah, that kind of thing's never sat right with me, may as well be the character dying if their having their mind overwritten like that.
>We do have freaks from time to time, but it seems all the freaks here have different tastes from each other.
Well, it's a big world, lots of variety out there, and in here.
Not a bad thing, just interesting how little overlap there seems to be.
>If you say so, some posters are really insistent about that sort of art.
I'm pretty sure the people who constantly spam that stuff are just doing it to mess with other people instead of actually appreciating the art, they're just a vocal minority around here.

We can always cope by thinking that monsters are much less judgemental when it comes to kinks.
>Eh, I don't think my magnum opus would come about through writing
If you die from exhaustion while making it, it instantly becomes your magnum opus, I don't write the rules.
>Does BDSM count?
Its weird, but I would put it on the same level of freakyness as feet (maybe above it), its the kind of fetish that is common enough for normies to know about it, so not exactly normal, but not *that* weird either.
>spoiler
Absolute degeneracy, it saddens me to see how far we have fallen as a society for there to be people that think this is even remotely acceptable, let alone "normal", billions must die.

Pregnancy is the only one that overlaps often from what I've seen.

Fair enough.

Hm, perhaps.
Though alternatively, there is the much hotter option of her just being smug about it, which I could potentially see her being.
>If you die from exhaustion while making it, it instantly becomes your magnum opus, I don't write the rules.
In that case, my magnum opus is probably going to be some WIP with almost nothing actually in it yet.
>Its weird, but I would put it on the same level of freakyness as feet (maybe above it)
Well, shit, I guess I'm just weird all over then.
>Absolute degeneracy
Wait until you hear about my ideas of "forced" cuddling.
When I accidentally woke up earlier than planned today, I laid back down to get some more sleep, and I imagined Ceroba physically holding me in bed to make sure I got as much sleep as I needed, even if it was "against my will", in theory.
CNC cuddling.
I am a visionary.

(fanart is unrelated but one of the only pics I have for "Deltafell Kanako and Cole")
The human-monster war is ongoing and Easttown is close to the fighting. Cole is a war orphan rescued by Martlet at a very young age, and is treated with distrust by much of the town rather than just Chujin, although Kanako still really likes him.
Chujin has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, not yet terminal, and insists on working himself to death to support his family. Kanako sees Cole against Chujin's explicit wishes and Ceroba helps cover it up out of sympathy for both of the kids (this deception is revealed in Chapter 2 and the blow-up from Chujin is a major factor in the tone of the hardware store dark world).
Kanako herself has been extremely sheltered due to her parents' rational fear for her safety in case the fighting got closer. She mostly obliges but her desire to rebel made her very close with Cole, who himself struggles to make friends due to the xenophobia caused by the war. Deep down she wants to just run away with him (but not in a WR Noelle way, in a more innocent fantasy way).
Martlet dresses wounds at a local clinic to make a living. She's not great at it but her work is appreciated in these times. She lives with the anxiety that something horrible might be done to Cole but doesn't want to lock him away, and couldn't even if she wanted to due to the long hours she's forced to work.
Starlo is mayor and works hard to keep the town neutral in the conflict, to which he faces a lot of criticism from monsters outside the town. He likes Martlet and Cole a lot and has a similar uncle role to Cole as in DRY
Melody and her unseen human parents have lived in Easttown their entire lives and have been pressured very hard to leave in recent years. Melody hates monsters after seeing hostility from them as long as she remembers, and gets in fights a lot. She doesn't outright hate Cole but is jealous that he's much better integrated into town than her

>Hey, if it makes you happy, any outcome is valid.
Her smug facesprite makes me feel things, what can I say?
>Are you going to drop dead as soon as you start working on it?
You said my magnum opus would be anything I happen to die while making, so it would be fitting for it to end up being the artist equivalent of Spongebob's "The".
>Normiecore weirdness, which is nothing compared to what you see in 4chan
Hm, true.
>remember, things like 50 Shades of Gray were hugely popular at some point.
I don't actually know anything about 50 Shades of Gray other than it apparently ending with 9/11 happening or something.
>I too had ideas like that in the past, that thing of your partner pulling you back on the bed is a pretty old trope, and for good reasons.
Well, it's not particularly popular, so I think it could do with a resurgence.
Plus, I mostly like it for the idea of a big woman who is stronger than me and loves me and also wants to overpower me out of love and-
I think it's neat, is all.
>>
>>4011664
honestly sounds like a nice set up for the story.
>>
>>4011664
Just realized I left Sadie out, I don't have much of an idea for her besides being Kanako's friend and hearing a lot of anti-human jargon from her parents that she unthinkingly spreads when Cole is around. It's an innocent kind of racism, she doesn't know any better and is fine hanging around when Cole is there.

There's not much wreckage in the town, as said earlier the fighting hasn't spread to it yet, but there is some rubble on the outskirts that all the children are told to never go near; the Dark Jail is housed within and the Warden is even more strict than usual about people not messing around there more than necessary. There is, in secret, an un-detonated explosive under the rubble that could be a dude or which could go off if fucked with.

The Dark Worlds are even wackier than the norm to highlight the escapism aspect of them; negative influence caused by dark thoughts have a much stronger effect on the world, however, something first shown when Chujin ends up in the second Dark World and explored in-depth when Melody falls into one and starts treating it like a destructable sandbox for her to vent in.

The Outlaw does NOT cause these dark effects, notably.

Well, that "piece" could have additional value since we will never know what your intentions were while making it, unless someone saw your 4chan posts.

All I know is that its apparently a somewhat tame BDSM story aimed at women, that and that it originally started as a Twilight fanfic.

>Well, that "piece" could have additional value since we will never know what your intentions were while making it, unless someone saw your 4chan posts.
Well at that rate I doubt anyone would see it at all, since I tend not to post too many WIPs until I'm actually making decent progress.
I also tend to leave some pretty long and somewhat irreverent notes-to-self when I'm still working on a drawing, so I doubt it'd be that much of a mystery if someone managed to get their hands on my files somehow.
>All I know is that its apparently a somewhat tame BDSM story aimed at women,
Huh.
Well, doesn't sound too out there. Then again, standards have shifted, so maybe it was more extreme back then.
>that and that it originally started as a Twilight fanfic.
Yeah, okay.
I don't know what to do with that information, I'll just accept it.
>A pretty normal reaction if you ask me, at least for people who are already into tall women.
I think it's moreso the strength I like rather than the height difference, but that's also good too.
Really, if Ceroba would just, lay her entire body weight directly on top of me, that would be perfect.

Wrong movie, you're thinking of the 2010 film Remember Me. You might be confusing it because Robert Pattinson from Twilight played the male lead and 50 Shades has connections to Twilight as the other anon said
>>4011670
The Twilight fanfic thing is actually interesting to this thread because it was specifically a Twilight AU where the supernatural elements are removed and all the characters were recontextualized into a more mundane world. Edward Cullen was changed from a vampire to a billionaire, and the desire to drink his lover's blood borne from his vampire curse was replaced with an impulse to inflict punishment on his lovers through BDSM as a way of venting repressed trauma. It's not too dissimilar to the process of turning Undertale Yellow into Deltarune Yellow, where you remove the central pillar of the setting (in UT's case the banishment of monsterkind underground and the need to acquire human souls to escape) and find new contexts for the characters to exist in that maintain their roles and relationships.

This Twilight AU attracted the attention of a small-scale book publisher and the author scrubbed all the names, cobbled together an ending and lightly edited it to fit as a three-book series. You could draw a parallel to DRY1anon's intentions to cancel DRY1 and make an original game with the premise, except DRY1anon went back to DRY1 for reasons and the author of 50 Shades DMCA'd any and all reuploads of the Twilight fanfic including scrubbing it from the Internet Archive.

Oh, no, this is just something I was told, I have never interacted with 50 Shades of Gray or any related media enough to make any kind of firsthand mistakes about it like that, so whoever told me this may have made the mistake you described, and I was merely misinformed by them.
Anyway, I'm going to continue thinking it has something to do with 9/11 because that's funny.

Apparently Undertale Red & Yellow is working on a major update with "three new major areas" comprised of "hundreds of rooms and cutscenes"
Maybe I'll bother playing it when this releases, I had no interest in the premise since it just sounds like a bunch of dialogue in the current build with the miscellaneous extra stuff being too little for me, but it could evolve into something as good (bad) as Deltatraveler

On the subject of Deltatraveler, I've been thinking it over and I've come to the grim conclusion that it does something better than Deltarune Chapter 5: Susie betraying the player feels much more natural and justified. Susie refuses to help you kill kids and eventually attacks you if you keep trying to make her use Red Buster, and you can intentionally antagonize her to sour her disposition further and make her even less likely to assist; she's responding to a genuinely horrible situation in Deltatraveler. When Susie heals the final boss in Chapter 5 every time you attack, even if she's downed when you attack, it feels like you're being railroaded by the author. Deltatraveler is overall much worse about railroading the player without proper diegetic justification than Deltarune, but in this particular instance it's better.
>>
>>4011664
>>4011668
That's a really cool idea. IMHO the one thing that doesn't fit is that there's an Undertale-style monster-human war. This sort of fantastical war doesn't jive with Deltarune's more grounded setting where both Hometown and Eastwood are in America and it's implied humans and monsters coexisted for centuries. What fits this better is a Balkan Wars-style conflict where there are multiple groups fighting, some committing war crimes against certain ethnic groups, and there are a lot of innocent people of all varieties caught in the middle. Eastwood's isolation and corn-only diet, albeit with more poverty and general anxiety, would make a lot of sense in this. I know there are worries about America falling part (justified or not), and rural towns in the mountains would withstand such a scenario the best.

>>4011671
>Well, doesn't sound too out there. Then again, standards have shifted, so maybe it was more extreme back then.
Back then it wasn't as well-known that women readers were avidly into smut, so when it made best-sellers lists and got produced in a movie people were surprised. I remember hearing about it infamously in high school.

>spoiler
keep in mind that deltatraveler also lets you continue fighting enemies even when it "doesnt" want you to.
when deltarune doesnt want you to fight, its just outright impossible to do so:
>"milk bosses"
>healer enemies that heal themselves and allies
>your own allies healing the enemy or outright blocking your attacks
>the titan just having infinite 10k heals during its cinematic phase while you can at most pump out 6k
i'll say it'd be justified ONLY IF the entire game gets a side B where you can backport a kill method and deal with those bosses that way.
but as it currently stands DR's methods are just atrocious.
flowery is an annoying example because not only do your "allies" betray you, but it would've been able to play perfectly into a different ending for the chapter
>fight flowery
>he's weaked enough parrying his final attack flattens him while kris only falls to his knees
>if you fought the soul flowers, their "thank you for watching my dream" lines are more sour and less grateful since you obviously only wanted to end the dream.
>flowery struggles to catch up with the knight
>can only get a few 999's off
>the struggle attack ends instantly because he simply doesnt have the strength to hold out.
and that aside, the dark shard is probably the most egregious case of deltarune's railroading so far.
it has exactly two uses between CH4/5
both are loaded to the end of CH4
>fight the titan spawn
>fight the titan
killing the titan is outright impossible, it simply heals too fast.
and then due to an "oversight" (likely intentional), jackenstein's bad end is forced if you fight the titan spawn.
this is the single most retarded forced railroading decision in deltarune.
purifying them is functionally the same as killing them. they're gone, the only difference is that you gain two temporary health that doesnt help in the slightest during the titan fight.
1/2
>>
>>4011716
2/2
honestly, all this tells me is that toby's lost part of the recipe that made undertale great
part of the fun is knowing that there's always the evil side there as an alternative experience, makes it actually feel like you're trying to spare enemies rather than being railroaded into it.
and not only that, but the inconsistency.
there's no reason why susie and ralsei should WANT to heal flowery when he's spent all chapter pissing them off.
but then why dont they do this for tenna?
why not for queen?
why not for the random enemies we come across?
why specifically flowery when every scene where he interacts with the party is spent pissing them off?
if the goal is to say that your allies arent reliable anymore, that should be set up throughout the chapter rather than only during the final fight. and especially not 3-4 rooms after a "we just need to trust each other" moment.
toby almost had it with susie refusing to flirt, but he didnt really follow through with it.
>>
>>4011716
yknow, i kinda liked the milk joke gag at first, not being able to beat up k. round even on rematch was annoying but a bit understandable since obv toby wanted Ralsei to say that susie wasnt helping and toby was getting back onto the programming groove after a few years from releasing undertale so yknow, getting a bit rusty is forgivable, then came sweet cap'n cakes, annoying but it served as a tutorial for the S-action and R-action, so understandable at first but geez, then chapter 3 comes out and while the weather duo cant get beaten down to 0 HP, its not like it stops you from ending the battle until you ACT (plus you can beat them up with gusto in their ch4 rematch), then chapter 4 comes out and you can't even hit jackenstein despite having a clear shot due to his eyes, and the titan cant be killed, THEN Chapter 5 comes out and suddenly every fucking miniboss after beating up aqua and seth refuses to lie down and end the battle when you beat them down and you can't even beat the everliving shit out of flowery because apparently it turns out your party members are able to fully heal up the enemy with 6% TP and they just never used it for me???? they didnt have a problem with me telling them to hit Green but Flowery is off limits??? and your actions barely change shit, sure, me roughing up those minibosses a bit made them unwilling to hang out with me but then they still give me a warm goodbye and no one says anything about me beating the everliving shit out of every enemy while at least susie had the decency to say "were we too mean to everybody?" in chapter 4 if Tenna's destroyed and you didnt recruit shit in chapter 3, here they dont even question the ethics of kris waltzing into asgore's flower shop and telling susie and ralsei to attack Asgore's stuff???
>>
>>4011719
I get like, it's a videogame and you have your expectations for it
But you do know like, the whole reason that the Flowery fight goes the way it does is that it's defying the prophecy right?
It's a forced draw (with the option of refusing to strike Flowery at the last attack which is logged).

this is the exact same shit i've criticized about Inverted Fate's fangames, in those fangames, Frisk shits their pants if you press FIGHT to end the battle despite having the magic ability to undo everything and do a gorillion reloads then refuses to press FIGHT anymore once dorked gets tired of writing dialogue for when you win by FIGHTing over and over again, they do even when you FIGHT Inverted Fate Mad Mew Mew in that fangame even through she's been a bigger bitch than most other characters and doesnt even die but frisk is fine with beating 3 guys up in a tournament (one of which causes mettaton to step in and say that frisk almost caused serious deadly injuries to Glyde) plus Undyne to near death without reloading.
Why the fuck has toby decided to cockblock us from FIGHTing enemies? your evil options have become fuckin limited as shit in this chapter, you can barely give any negative opinion through dialogue choices, you can barely do any genuinely vile shit anymore and the closest you get to it are cucking noelle by picking the Krusie options in the festival (jokes on you, you get ultracucked by susie denying you the right to hang out with berdly, the Suselle beach cutscene, Susie destroying your chances of dating Mad Mew Mew, and Susie stopping you from going into castle town at the end of ch5 while she builds a room for noelle so you get more suselle scenes shoved in your face later on), turning off Ralsei (which is presented as more of a gag than anything truly heinous), breaking the giant bread with the platformer mode activated and completing the minigame first try (undone because ralsei gave an invincible cake to the chef guy), did Toby get soft or something?
>>
>>4011729
>did Toby get soft or something?
We could say this is because of the team's influence, but I think Toby might have gotten lazy instead, makin so many variations based on evil/asshole choices would increase the scope too much
>>
>>4011725
real incentives should be getting exclusive fights (such as some guys being mad at you beating up their goons or something), weapons/armors that benefit from FIGHTing (such as "You get more GOLD out of FIGHTing enemies but [insert negative effect]" or something so it's more challenge run-like), more dialogue acknowledging your actions and even lead to funny interactions if you choose to engage in a fight (at least you can fight a Zapper early if you choose to do nothing and can FIGHT that one scarecrow enemy by saying you want him to be an enemy then beat him up when he comes out as one), keep the statboosts you can get so "getting stronger" actually means something, etc.
>>
>>4011720
the worst part about it is that toby already has an excuse through kris.
rather than susie and ralsei betraying you kris could go
>yeah no i am NOT killing my dad's 20 year old flowers
he could've refused to give violent commands himself against the flowers, rather than susie and ralsei betraying you for the final fight.
>* but you couldnt muster the will to harm your father's special flowers.
thats it, thats all toby had to do to make it significantly better.
>>4011722
a point was made in CH4 that being nice wasnt doing anything to defy the prophecy and actually change shit.
and an additional point was made in CH5 that ralsei is at his wits end with a dangerously low amount of fucks to give.
a forced draw also doesnt matter in the eyes of the prophecy if the heros can continue onward and close the fountain.
the fountain still closed, the prophecy will still continue onwards. nothing changed.

its not like it has to be permanent or something, you can be an asshole in chapter 1 and 2 but its not like a darkner is ever gonna get on your ass for intimidating that one rudinn in card castle back in ch1, i dont mind if toby doesnt create alternative new branches full of dialogue because you told ralsei to die a gorillion times in ch1-4 but at least give me something, dont you remember those good ol' "being an asshole to ralsei" vids from back in the ch1-2 eras? what happened to that?? and i would at least tolerate it if toby hadnt made it so that the whole "good, keep smiling" choice seemed important only to make Ralsei a confident cocky brat in chapter 5 despite me bringing his mood down at every turn as much as possible

Do you think that Rynogg will actually write in Reverse-Rape Noelle for the rewritten version of Deltatraveler (assuming it ever pulls itself back up after the ch3&4 release nuked its ass away) or will they keep Noelle as her idealized normal self because rynogg didnt want to please the WR-fags?
>>
>>4011729
Undertale having pacifist as it's golden ending is to blame for all of this.
Weapons are useless now since the game doesn't let you FIGHT anymore (not like it mattered since all FIGHTs are heavily scripted), not to mention you LOSE content if you FIGHT (with recruits or just being cockblocked).
What was even the point of letting you FIGHT from the start then?
Worse is most fangames will follow this formula with having only pacifism be rewarded.

the latter, i used to be on the deltatraveler discord server back then, and i can confirm that Rynogg unironically hates the weird route fans, i've mentioned it in passing during some of these threads (btw im surprised you guys started to remember it), but havent gone into much detail about it, yes, Rynogg didnt want to please the weird route fans, in fact, some of her decisions while writing the obliteration route were directly written with this idea on mind, which is why you can't do le heckin weird route manipulation during the obliteration route, and i've suspected that the reason why she mindwiped all of the characters' memories and emotions about having killed a bunch of children in the middle of section 3 is because she might have felt she leaned too hard into it and intentionally dialed it back too hard.
so yeah, we will never get sadomasochist noelle in deltatraveler, at best, Rynogg is prob gonna misinterpret Aborted Weird Route Noelle teasing you by saying shes not gonna do what you tell her to as her actively defying your choices and uses it for whatever weird route esque actions you try to do, at worst, she prob intentionally writes crazy noelle in such an unbearably annoying ooc horrible way that she loses any "crazy dommy mommy that reverse rapes (you)" appeal she couldve had

>>4011747
Either way, Undertale and Deltarune already have Determination and defying the prophecy's fate as central themes of the game, no way i'm gonna give up on continuing to FIGHT every enemy in my first playthrough anyways no matter how much content i miss

Is Rynogg just a hardcore Undertale Genocide fag? Deltatraveler came out before Chapters 3+4 so I can't imagine why she'd be mad with Weird Route fans without being genuinely autistic, given the only difference between Obliteration and Weird Route is the exclusivity of killing with Noelle.

>>4011716
I think enemies that can't be killed are conceptually fine, especially if the purpose of them not being killable is to force the player to learn an important mechanic (e.g. the annoying fucking robots introducing S-Action and R-Action). Even in Chapter 3 when Tenna and Rouxls take away your FIGHT button it's explicitly made clear that this is a power Rouxls has, and that Tenna traded a Rules Card from Rouxls for his debit card so he could do it.

It's just immersion breaking when Flowery does it. There's no utility to making it impossible to fight him and it's not even a power he has—he's not even making your attacks do 0 damage with his bullshit stats, he CAN be damaged but Susie ignores the rules of the game to heal him even when downed. That's what makes it feel like outright railroading.

I think Toby's general approach of most bosses being defeatable via fighting or acting, and this rarely changing the plot but often giving different dialogue, is fine. You can criticize the general lack of balance between these two options and I have, making violence 100% bad rather than a tradeoff goes against the design of Undertale as well as going against Ralsei's acceptance that sometimes fighting is the answer, but before Chapter 5 I wasn't upset about this problem in the moment.

Pink not being defeatable through violence also feels wrong to me; I imagine it's a callback to Mad Dummy being invincible but there's no thematic purpose to it unlike the Gerson fight.
>>
>>4011745
It would be very funny if Noelle got rewritten but I honestly really just want Deltatraveler to continue on as if Deltarune never progressed past Chapter 2. I want to see their bad theories brought to fruition instead of the author backpedaling to try and squeeze their ideas closer into later canon
>>
>>4011766
funnily enough, Rynogg had said back then that she was gonna stick with her current vision and just put up a disclaimer saying that this game was made before ch3, 4 and 5's* release, but then she changed her mind and did the rewrite anyways
>*chapter 3 to 5 were meant to release together back then
>>
>>4011716
>>4011765
okay but why did i stop getting a different reward based on whether i ACT or FIGHT the secret schizoboss? chapter 4's gerson fight is a weird case because you CAN end the fight without attacking but its the same reward, here you can't even defeat mad mew mew by FIGHTing her, i thought "hey, ghosts are vulnerable to magic attacks so maybe i'll get some cool new weapon for beating her down by beating her ass with Rude Buster spam", nope, nothing, not a single acknowledgement for carrying the knowledge of magic hurting ghosts to deltarune, she just gets 0 damage anyways
>>
>>4011770
>why did i stop getting a different reward based on whether i ACT or FIGHT the secret schizoboss?
In Gerson's case it's because the reward he gives is thematically significant, in Pink's case it's because you get to choose from a number of items after the fight.
>>
>>4011765
There's a definite problem with the Fighting/Sparing system that kinda stems from people who have already beaten Undertale. I remember back in Survey Program's release, when Ralsei said I can spare or fight enemies, I was playing with friends and we all just unanimously agreed the pacifist way is just going to have more content to enjoy.
That being said, I honestly thought Chapters 2, 3, and 4 were trying to undo this mentality with certain things. Queen's Acid Shield is actually more efficient to get rid of with fighting if you actually gave yourself good weapons, Giga Queen literally has no consequences for fighting (and directly says to only fight), some people literally refused to do the Mantle game because there was no pacifist route, The Knight, The Titan... it's really strange that Chapter 5 is so railroaded into pacifism.
>making your attacks do 0 damage with his bullshit stats
It really should have been this. Even the milk drink gag coming back would have made more sense than your allies having a secret full-heal spell up their ass.
>>
>>4011770
for gerson im willing to say that its because its just a glorified story fight
but for pink there's no real excuse
my cope theory is that rude buster isnt 'real' magic so it doesnt work, its just susie being a brute as usual. but if you bring noelle to CH5 in a NG+ scenario then her ice magic will work
>>
>>4011773
>spoiler
I've seen a lot of people speculating on a New Game+ or "Side-B" version of previous chapters but I do not believe for a second that Toby would write another 4-5 chapters to include in the final release. It would just take too much time and he can't get this game out at a reasonable pace (for a sprite-based RPG with a full team and 8+ years of development) as is.
>>
>>4011771
I guess, but i'd like some acknowledgement, like...
>Nah, kris has shown me throughout our fight... that i dont need to attack in order to win, this hammer's good, but i won't need it if kris tells me to ACT."
>"hmm, i see, i see, well then, i s'ppose your story is in good hands, then, that if you write yer own path, its gonna be a good one, that's for sure."
>* You received the FEATHER!
>* You received the ShadowCrystal!
>"Write yer own path, missy, and do me proud."
boom.
>>4011771
the fact you dont directly get anything from beating mad mew here proves my point, you could get dialogue about mad mew mew getting angry that you just assaulted her and damaged her body, and you could still get 3 rewards anyways, or maybe an exclusive OP weapon instead to make the scenario more unique
>>
>>4011772
I think any efforts Chapter 2 tried to make to get people to press the Fight button or use Rude Buster was wasted when the player read Ralsei's manual and found out that beating any regular enemy with violence will make them permanently lost.

I've said it before in these threads when the topic comes up but the Toriel death jumpscare in Undertale did tremendous irreversible harm to the players; I have to wonder how many players are completely unaware that you can tire enemies and pacify them by getting their HP low, similar to sparing enemies by reducing their HP in Undertale, just because they're too heavily conditioned not to press the button lest the enemy suddenly take 10x the normal damage and explode. Add in the threat that any single enemy getting knocked out permanently locks you out of recruiting them and players are hardwired not to experiment. They will ACT or Spare, sometimes repeatedly even if it doesn't seem to do anything (like it appears not to against Toriel for a few turns), unless explicitly told they HAVE to fight like Ralsei does against the Titan.
>>
>>4011778
Oh, and I can't forget to mention the most recent dick punch that even TitanSpawn, an enemy explicitly said by Ralsei to have no concept of mercy and which has a crossed out mercy bar, breaks your pacifist save and kills one of your friend if you fight them. The bullet patterns in Chapter 5 can be spared, even if it's not communicated at all by the game, so let's see if fighting them punishes the player come Chapter 6
>>
>>4011779
the jackenstein dying if you killed a titan spawn thing was a glitch and makes no fucking sense in-universe because jackenstein was no longer in danger

>Permanently lose recruits with the trade-off of getting stronger
>Stats gained from losing recruits don't carry over between chapters
I think this is the one thing that pisses me off. Losing content is one thing, but the one assumed benefit that should come with committing to not making friends isn't even beneficial in the long run. Imagine intentionally getting that scene with Queen being depressed about none of the library recruits coming with her for the sake of getting a slightly bigger edge against The Knight (a fight a lot of players definitely struggle with), only to find out it was completely pointless.

The milk isn't too bad because its the boss healing itself. It shows the enemy is simply too strong for you to defeat by normal means. Susie doing it is just insulting. Basically everything Susie does now is insulting.

A side B wouldn't fix it though. The problem here is that it doesn't feel like "the prophecy" is doing it, it feels like Toby is doing it, which ruins the concept entirely.

This. It's sad to see people treat writing as an inferior form of art.

The point of it isn't to make it feel like a miserable insult to the player for playing the game. If it were it wouldn't have all those bright graphics and triumphant music.

If the point results in that, maybe the point should be changed. Or at least the execution should be so it doesn't result in that.

They're good, but her bleps are quiet, as others pointed out, and also too monotone. If you're going for a computer-like sound that's fine. I know you're going for a high-pitched voice, and I would say Mooch is the best inspiration because of how distinctive her speech is.
>>4011373
>Character design
Are these taken from another Tumblr-made game? Some of the design choices are baffling to me. A flat-nosed bat that's also fat and has a nose piercing? An oddly realistic porcupine, but then having a bird with way too many appendages? #2 has good-looking male characters, but then #3 lacks that charm except for Florida Sans. The farmer looks like a direct Asgore expy. The main 5 have the best designs, but they still scream "Tumblr's idea of what a high school friend group looks like."
This isn't being made from scratch by the Snoot/IWHTG devs, is it? If so, they've gone from homage and improvement to jumping off the deep end.
>>
>>4011871
>A flat-nosed bat that's also fat and has a nose piercing?
hot, except for the piercing
>oddly realistic porcupine
what makes her realistic? looks cartoony enough to me
>but then having a bird with way too many appendages?
Her design would be fine if she were an anthro gryphon and not some non descript bird, she's Not!Undyne which explains why she looks so humanoid, but her design is still bad.
>This isn't being made from scratch by the Snoot/IWHTG devs, is it?
I highly doubt it, those guys are busy making two other games.

>>4011720
The milk was fine as a tutorial to force the player to use acts so they would learn how, but its really overstayed its welcome.
>>
>>4011725
I find that fighting is something that the player naturally wants to do if he gets mad, so maybe make the stat bonuses happen even if you don't kill the enemies. Say if you beat them up to low HP then spare using sleep mist.
>>
Maybe I should thank Toby for giving me such an excellent source of impotent rage.

Maybe we should blame the producer then. He's probably the one pushing this shit out the door and deciding what should be cut for time. Well him and the team writing this shit.

Having no consequence for being an asshole would probably ram home the theme of your choices not mattering even better than forcing you to be nice would. Since it actually gives you a choice as opposed to just saying "no, you don't get to choose" and then just ignores your choice to do what it was gonna do anyways.

I agree with you on principle but Undertale, along with its derivatives, is a visual medium and the fandom needs visuals to engage with the content. Even something that's written like total dogshit will get attention if it's drawn or sprited well. I run into the additional problem that other people HAVE made popular Underfell Yellow character designs that don't mesh with what I'm going for, and I wouldn't want people going into my work with assumptions brought from those other takes, especially when it feels like half of the UFY art out there is just Chujin and Starlo kissing.
If I were writing a completely original character then I wouldn't need to worry about outside notions clouding reader's imaginations, but these characters aren't blank slates even if I may change some of them completely. The comparisons from their UTY counterparts is an unavoidable comparison that should be leaned into (why else are you reading an AU), but I would want my own distinct character designs so that people can more easily understand that it's not part of another person's existing continuity.

I understand that this is my personal autism hang-up and that other people would get over it and just create anyway, but I lack that strength. You have my apologies.

No they don't, I was engaging just fine without them. And people have engaged just fine with what I've written without them. You are making up a problem that doesn't exist.

>and I wouldn't want people going into my work with assumptions brought from those other takes
WHY? That doesn't matter in the slightest. Why is a person picturing the "wrong" design such an issue?

>especially when it feels like half of the UFY art out there is just Chujin and Starlo kissing.
If you don't write that, then it won't be an issue.

>then I wouldn't need to worry about outside notions clouding reader's imaginations
You don't need to worry about that anyways, or to ever worry about "clouded imaginations"

>but I would want my own distinct character designs so that people can more easily understand that it's not part of another person's existing continuity.
You don't need that. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares about that but you, and even you shouldn't and you're making everyone else's problem by doing it.

There's that whole thing called Glitchtale which apparently was pretty popular among the fandom when it came out, the main character in that had a pink soul, I think the pink soul is the most commonly used color for an 8th soul in the fandom, besides you used an orange/blue/yellow key to open a door which contained a flower of the corresponding color inside, I do think they idea was to trick you into thinking the pink key would open a room with a pink flower inside.

Yes, things have been somewhat peaceful, haven't they?
I do remember giving my final word on that other subject matter sometime in April, and someone said they had strong feelings about it, to which I said that's usually called "disdain", and moved on.
I somewhat miss getting into some more minor arguments though, haven't had any for a while now.

You know, this tactic of calling other people trolls for the sake of riling them up is getting a bit stale on your part.

>to which I said that's usually called "disdain", and moved on.
yeah I remember that. I don't personally feel disdain over things like that, but I wont fault you for feeling that way. Most everyone here does their best to engage in discussions sincerely, which prevents me from feeling such a thing even when I strongly disagree.
>I somewhat miss getting into some more minor arguments though, haven't had any for a while now.
I do enjoy some of the arguments, though I've reeled myself in a bit since some posters expressed really disliking it though honestly I think SOME of the people complaining about it were shitposters trying to stop discussion, but it's hard to tell sometimes

maybe it's weird to call anonymous people "friends" but I do enjoy my time here with all of you autistic fucks.

It's common knowledge there are haters here who try to stop discussions, or try to ruin the fun for others whenever they see something they don't like.
I wouldn't reel yourself in over something like that if you have an opinion, or want to share your thoughts. Just share them. Fuck the shitposters.

fair enough. I try to keep the mindset that I'm sharing this space with other Anons, so sometimes when I have a deranged line of thought I put it out into the air, but other times I leave it be to have maybe some sense of balance. Another anon expressed something like this the other day but I probably get a bit self conscious in posting habits sometimes. Autism and all that.

But you're right, probably best not to give in to the people who actively just want discussion to die out.

Well, it was in response to a very strong and personally-developed position on the matter on my part, so it's hard not to view such a strong disagreement, whatever your or that anon's exact feelings were, as something more diametrically opposed to me on a certain fundamental level.
>Most everyone here does their best to engage in discussions sincerely, which prevents me from feeling such a thing even when I strongly disagree.

Quite so.

>>4012014
An image of his that was made somewhat shortly after that argument had taken place, that contained dialogue directly referencing the stance I had taken in the argument, made out to be some ridiculous strawman.
I don't feel like talking about this again, as there's nothing more to discuss, it just felt like a really petty and meanspirited thing to do, even if that wasn't the intention.

I can disagree with someone with every fiber of my being, but still care about the person, respect the life they are living, and appreciate the value their presence brings to my own existence, however little value that itself has. The things that lower a persons worth to me, make me truly disdain them are complicated and hard to put into words, yet well understood in my own decision making process.
it's just the way I'm built. Even if I got heated in an argument and want to yell the fuck words, disdain was just not part of the equation for me. Takes all kinds to make up the world I guess.
>Ah, I do try my best to keep things all in good fun, but sometimes it gets a bit much, even if I do also try and restrain myself when the threads prompt me to feel nothing but hatred.

I'm recalling all of this from memory, so for those involved, feel free to correct me.
tldr
There was some long ass discussion about Zenith Martlet redeeming Clover, one person saying he's redeemable, one person saying he wasn't and that he deserved die.
The drawanon drew a request image where Zenith Martlet was overhearing monsters talk shit about Clover, and in her mind she was against it. The dialogue appeared she was taking the pro Clover side, though the drawanon did clarify he wasn't doing anything meanspirited, or intentionally trying to invalidate others arguments, just simply using the discussion as direct inspiration, not as a means to say someone is wrong or right.
I'd just say it's lesson to be mindful of taking inspiration from debates, to prevent misinterpretations, so one side doesn't get the wrong idea, and feel their opinions are being invalidated, or used against them.

I can't actually find it at the moment, but the specific interaction I'm referring to wasn't during an argument. I'm sure it may have led to one had we both not agreed to simply not continue discussing the topic, but we ended things where they were.
If that was you, anyway.
I believe it was around the same time that little Quetzali quest thing was happening, though I still can't locate it.

I'm sorry you feel so strongly but I think all these creative ventures should be done for one's own self, and if I can't get the drive then that's all I can say besides "sorry." I've been dealing with other problems, not to blogpost, and it's sapped me of many of my passions for quite a long time which is why I rarely bring up the concept for the AU; it was never my intention to "tease" the AU. I'll refrain from participating in conversations about Underfell Yellow or Deltafell Yellow unless things turn around and I can actually present something, which I consider unlikely, and you have my deep apologies for reminding you of something I never delivered on. It didn't cross my mind that someone would have been genuinely interested in the ideas long-term beyond simply having something in front of them to read.

This space is for sharing things. Anything pretty much, so you should never feel restricted. It doesn't matter what your thoughts are or how strongly you feel about them, share them regardless.
There's going to be some retards, that are going to try and ruin your fun, or tell you your interests don't align with their interests, and the correct response to that is Fuck em.

Ah, I actually did find it.
I got the word wrong, it was "contempt", not "disdain", mixed up.
While I certainly don't wish to turn this into the verbal sparring match of the evening, I must admit, I am partially curious about what you might've said, if only because (I assume) it was you in particular.
>>
>>4012025
>I believe it was around the same time that little Quetzali quest thing was happening, though I still can't locate it.
ah I do remember that. I had some ideas to "add on to" that conversation from the past, and there was an unrelated conversation about "what if there was a soul that just desperately wanted to kill the monsters but kept failing".
I'm almost positive that's when the "disdain" phrase was used.

I did get a bit more heated than was reasonable I think during that, but still I don't claim any disdain for it there.
>I believe it was around the same time that little Quetzali quest thing was happening, though I still can't locate it.
yeah I remember the thread, if it wasn't there it was the prior/subsequent thread.

Quetzali quest should make a return some time, that was a lot of fun.
>I think a bit too much of me is composed of sheer hate to qualify as human.
I have a personal belief that hate is one of the most natural human emotions, but it is also natural for us to control it alongside our other feelings.
Not quite uh, vulcan style but yeah.

>Anything pretty much, so you should never feel restricted. It doesn't matter what your thoughts are or how strongly you feel about them, share them regardless.
well I DO think it's important to have some respect for your fellow anons. That belief isn't going away, it's good to give room for eachothers autisms to take place, and not just spam only the topic I want to talk about.
There has to be a balance between not limiting ones self, and respecting the public space we share.
If I talked about polynesian sex with martlet every single time it came to my mind, it would get quite frustrating for everyone else in the thread.

Oh no, that one felt mostly fine, just a rather intense disagreement.

Yes, it was a neat little thing.
Lots of quest talk around that time, I believe it was around the same time Oldentale anon requested I read Nanquest.

The feeling was a unique, inwardly targeted feeling.
Despair? Helplessness? It's hard to put an exact word on it. I don't want to go into specifics from that conversation because it reignites some of those pathetic feelings in me and I don't want to feel that right now, nor do I want to rekindle an argument that causes the both of us distress, but I just have an extremely strong view on second chances and crime vs punishment.
It may have something to do with how much yellow as a whole has stuck in my head, or maybe it's just the sincerity, or maybe it's this that and the other and all of the above.
But no, then I wont blame you for having contempt, but I didn't have that there.

Ah, then I'll refrain from speaking on it too much further after this.
>But no, then I wont blame you for having contempt, but I didn't have that there.
Oh, I don't believe I felt as such at the time, I was simply saying that because my feelings on the matter were partially influenced by my own experiences as a child, I had rather particular thoughts that I assumed you held contempt towards.
I don't hate you, even if we disagree on lots of things.

>>4012036
>Lots of heavy moral philosophy discussions around, huh?
oh yeah for sure, and when we are able to tie that into being related to fangames, I do love engaging in them. I know I just posted about the negative feelings, but understand, I believe that negative feelings are part of life, so I don't dislike discussing them, and not every philosophical discussion elicits said emotion.
Having philosophical debates about the actions and future of the cast is a great time overall
>Oh no, that one felt mostly fine, just a rather intense disagreement.
maybe, I remember feeling like I was the only one who got riled up one time or another.

yeah I'm pretty sure the whole discussions about quests, old 4chan, and weaver kicked off that quest. There were I think like 3-5 of us doing the pages for that Quetzali quest thing.

As someone who's kind of in between redeeming geno clover, or him getting justice, I just want to say I respect all opinions on the topic, and all the anons here willinging sharing the thoughts on something.
It may not be said enough, but those having strong thoughts and opinions here, keep these threads alive, so I hope neither of you feel you have to your thoughts to yourself.
Plus I also feel these debates and discussions, regardless of what they are, inspire drawanons and writeranons to create stuff, which for these threads is a really good thing.
Point is, you're both cool.
>>
>>4012038
>Ah, then I'll refrain from speaking on it too much further after this.
it's fine if you or another Anon want to discuss that, I do really dislike the idea of being the sole reason someone can't discuss something they are interested in, but I myself don't have it in me to delve that path right now.
>Oh, I don't believe I felt as such at the time, I was simply saying that because my feelings on the matter were partially influenced by my own experiences as a child, I had rather particular thoughts that I assumed you held contempt towards.
Ah fair. I have probably rather strange but firm thoughts on things like sin and punishment, and I remember at one point the statement in one of those conversations came up like "Clover deserves to burn in hell for what he did if there is one" and just the phrase puts the vivid image in my mind, which makes me nauseous, fearful, upset, desperate etc etc. just a large swarm of emotions. I have very very strong opinions on the religious concept of hell.
But I don't have contempt at your stances itself, which likely seems contradictory to the extreme.
>I don't hate you, even if we disagree on lots of things.
same, I meant it earlier, I greatly enjoy my time here discussing fangames and creative efforts with all of you.
>>
>>4012044
I appreciate it, but historically speaking, my opinions are all almost exactly the inverse of those held by the majority of anons present within these threads, so it is likely for the better that I simply maintain my relatively isolationist stance on things.
>>
>>4012044
>It may not be said enough, but those having strong thoughts and opinions here, keep these threads alive, so I hope neither of you feel you have to your thoughts to yourself.
sometimes, when a discussion has run its course, and both sides know that it's only bringing grief to eachother arguing it further, it's respectful to simply move on to other topics rather than hammer it in over and over and over again.
debates can be fun, but there are definite lines and I think we do a good job respecting those lines for the most part when Anons start feeling that sense about things.

>it's fine if you or another Anon want to discuss that
Oh, no, I have basically no desire to discuss it further, I was just saying that I might only have been interested in hearing whatever it was you were going to say back then because it was you in particular, anyone else and I'd have told them to piss off.
That said, you do not have to elaborate further if you do not wish to, and we can end things there.
>"Clover deserves to burn in hell for what he did if there is one" and just the phrase puts the vivid image in my mind, which makes me nauseous, fearful, upset, desperate etc etc. just a large swarm of emotions. I have very very strong opinions on the religious concept of hell.
Oh, lord.
Well, I can certainly tell you that wasn't me who said such a thing.
For as much as I believe in the idea of consequences for severe transgressions, eternal punishment is never justified, in any circumstance.
It is a deeply held belief of mine that *no one* deserves to go to hell, and I would never say otherwise for the sake of something so minor as an online argument.
The topic of what ought to be done with a "bad spirit" such as one who might commit genocide, is a very complex subject, and one I do not have all the answers for myself.
But even still, I know there is a better solution, on a grander scale.

>I said you should speak your mind if something bothers you
Yeah, that also hasn't gone too well historically, if you can believe it.

I agree on all counts. It's not an easy question with an easy answer, but I very very strongly believe that "eternal damnation" is not something a highly powerful logical being could possibly come up with.

Anon I've said this before directly to (you) I'm pretty sure, but I also said it in a more broad sense in this very conversation. I greatly enjoy my time discussing with you. Even factoring in that one conversation that got unpleasant for both of us, that doesn't really change anything.

Be that as it may, there are times where me expressing my opinion has led to nothing but senseless aggression, even getting me branded a troll on some occasions, so I don't think I'm without reason to simply take my leave at some point if my presence continues to be a problem.

I'm going to rule you out as the person who started talking like an australian/the boys character the other day.

I try not to go full schizo seeing shapes in clouds mode, but I can't help but notice a few patterns that I actively ignore.

I don't think you've done anything wrong anon, keep on keeping on.

No, I am not the "Butcher" troll, but that didn't stop people from immediately assuming as such the moment I asked the unbirthing drawanon if he could dial back his avatar usage last weekend.
I even made my reply to the drawanon as politely phrased as possible, since I didn't want it to become a whole thing, but that didn't matter at all, if the immediate aggression was anything to go off of.

>No, I am not the "Butcher" troll, but that didn't stop people from immediately assuming as such the moment I asked the unbirthing drawanon if he could dial back his avatar usage last weekend.
alright, yeah that's what I thought the situation was.
I made a post agreeing with you, but also stating that it wasn't worth it, and that's on me anon, it's been a rough time lately and my mindset was completely in the realm of "this isn't worth it none of this is worth it, I don't want to deal with what's inevitably going to happen."
I don't like avatar fagging and namefagging myself, but if you were also the person who went on a rant about "this is what this place is turning to" then I think you also lost your head a bit there, but I'm not sure if it was the same. I just didn't want the discussion about something "we all know shouldn't be happening but it happens anyways' to turn into a 100 post thing since there's always someone to jump in to defend that anon giving really awkward explanations with WAY too many commas(sorry, I know I said I try not to see shapes in clouds but it's makes my fucking brain itch to see), and then there's the person who jumps in with those half assed shitposts like the person that used your art and my writing to attack the drawfag, and I consider both things to be a pain in the ass and just wasn't up for it after all the dramafishing some other fuck had been doing against our threads lately.
So yeah, I don't think you were in the wrong, and it may have been my bad that I just wasn't up for it but it's become one of those things I just ignore and pretend I don't see at this point.
>It's things like *that* that make me feel like things would be better for everyone if I simply left.
well you're wrong. I appreciate that other drawfag being here even if he does something I really don't like, and I appreciate you being here even if you feel strongly about things I dont.
>>
>>4012075
>I didn't want it to become a whole thing
In this specific case the best thing for you to do was not say anything, because of the whole drama that happened in the previous thread, you were kind of asking for it.
It was something that people didn't want brought up again, and you basically relite the fire ever something miniscule.
I get some people have thoughts on stuff, but if your intention was not to make it a whole thing, you shouldn't have brought it up.
I'm not here to say your right or wrong, and it's not the drawanons fault this is happening, but there are times where if you can see something is not really an issue for people here, just leave it be.
>>
>>4012081
>you were kind of asking for it.
nah he was being pretty reasonable about it in the first post. It was more on us for overreacting to him bringing it up at all
>I get some people have thoughts on stuff, but if your intention was not to make it a whole thing, you shouldn't have brought it up.
again I think that the reaction to his post was a bit overdone because of the recent drama nonsense, and he wasn't really being unreasonable in that post alone.
I do think he should have disengaged after people started overreacting though.

it's natural, when small annoyances pile up, alongside there being people who intentionally antagonize being within these threads, people want to mention things they don't like. It's not wrong in of itself to do. sometimes people stop doing things when asked nicely, sometimes people push harder because of spite, depends on the nature of the community what happens, but it makes sense that people would take note of certain things.
>>
>>4012084
>It was more on us for overreacting to him bringing it up at all
There was literally a whole shitpost fest that ruined a previous thread, and he brings up that very topic again in a new thread.
>I think that the reaction to his post was a bit overdone because of the recent drama nonsense, and he wasn't really being unreasonable in that post alone.
It wasn't an overreaction, because people knew exactly what was going to happen, and they didn't want a repeat of the drama. Of course people were going to get annoyed at the person for reigniting it, regardless if they claim they weren't.
If he didn't want to create any problems, or start anything then the sensible option would have been to just not say anything, and when it was made clear people weren't happy or agreeing with what he was doing, like you said he should have just conceded and disengaged, without saying anything more.
>>
>>4012087
>and he brings up that very topic again in a new thread.
yeah, and he brought it up in a reasonable way in his first post
>It wasn't an overreaction
he got dogpiled when honestly nothing would have happened if everyone just ignored it. nothing would have happened if he saw people were being stupid and he disengaged with it from there, or if people then disengaged at that point. there were 3 levels of things going wrong before we even get to the point of calling his original post a problem.

I'm going to practice what I preach here, and disengage because this is nonsense. To the anon that originally posted the thing, just consider not engaging if people call you a troll. Sorry I was among those who overreacted and honestly, the original post people were all worried about from before that made people think you should have said that? It too should have been ignored. I didn't realize how meta of a discussion I was falling into but just learn to disengage when things are spiraling out of control.
>>
So, what are you Anons working on this holiday weekend (though I know some of your aren't burgerlanders).

I kind of want to try writing some smut with martlet or roba, see if I can capture the energy I failed to last weekend , but I can't quite yet get into the mindset for that.
>>
>>4012088
>yeah, and he brought it up in a reasonable way in his first post
Regardless of how he went about it, he still brought up a topic that was directly responsible for causing a thread to be ruined, and people knew what was going to happen if it was brought up again. He shouldn't have brought up it again, especially in a thread right after the previous one.
>he got dogpiled when honestly nothing would have happened if everyone just ignored it
I highly doubt people are going to ignore when someone's literally reigniting a potential shitstorm, and they made that very clear when they told him to stop immediately.
He got dogpiled because instead of just stopping immediately after the first person told him to not bring this topic up again after what happened, and leaving it at that, he started blowing up, swearing at everyone, and refusing to drop it.
>I'm going to practice what I preach here, and disengage because this is nonsense.
Same here, but on a serious note, like another anon said, if something is not an big issue, and it's miniscule, don't make an issue of out of it, especially if you know someone else here is going to use to create problems for these threads.
If your intention is to truly not cause any problems, then sometimes the best thing to do in some situations is just keep things to yourself, and not bring it up, especially if something isn't even that big of an issue in the first place.

>>4012094
I actually got a Zenith Martlet image that I commissioned an artist to draw for me. So I'm looking forward to that when it comes out.
>>
>>4012097
>Regardless of how he went about it, he still brought up a topic that was directly responsible for causing a thread to be ruined,
look man, I know I said I was disengaging, but I think this is important. none of the threads have been ruined in the last like 6 months. we've had back to back to back great threads that have had small outbursts of autism that sometimes we have a bad habit of feeding into when the thread hits bump limit. I'm not gonna continue any of the other lines of thought and you can have the last word on those if you please, but we're acting like the shitposters have more power than they actually do.

even this weekend when we fell into some pretty bad amount of feeding the trolls and got one of our threads completely overrun by people normal discussing DR, we just had another thread and it was great.
our threads have been consistently great, lets stop acting like this is some kind of apocalypse because some kiddie wants to spam posts or act like billy butcher. You're welcome to call me an idiot and all that for even continuing that line of thought when I said I was disengaging, but shitting on fellow anons because someone caused 30 off topic posts isn't really the way to go.
>>
>>4012098
nice!
You know, even though the local artists don't take commissions themselves, I feel sometimes like if I go and get something commissioned of martlet or something that I'd be doing something wrong in some way. unfathomable autism in my brain sometimes.
You planning on sharing when it gets done?
>>
>>4012099
>shitting on fellow anons because someone caused 30 off topic posts isn't really the way to go.
nta He's not really getting shitted on, people are simply telling him he shouldn't have made a big deal out of something that wasn't even an issue to begin with.
In any case, due to his prior behaviour and responses in past threads, he kind of has a reputation now, so the best thing he can really do is not draw attention to himself, by doing something that people may have an issue with.
>>
>>4012103
>telling him he shouldn't have made a big deal out of something
correct, his original post did not make a big deal of it.
>>
anons, please, don't pick up the bottle
>>
>>4012100
You can't really go wrong if you commission an artist to draw Martlet unless you describe what you want so badly, the artist misinterprets what you want.
You just have to be clear, and more often than not things will go smoothly. When I get wips I plan to share them here, if I remember to do so.
>>
>>4012105
yeah, you're right.

you get this much autism in one place it's bound to happen.

>When I get wips I plan to share them here, if I remember to do so.
but what of the final version?

also a commission will never be able to mean as much to me as an image an anon just lovingly was willing to do in the threads. Fucking, god speed to you artfags.

I've had 3 requests picked up by the lovely drawfags over the year I've been in these threads and each of them is as precious as gold to me.
in all the 19 years I've been on 4chan they are the only 3 requests of mine that have been done, so they hold a special place in my heart.

>>4012116
They are special because first and foremost, I think I have an autistic fixation on the art done by the community here
after all, we're family and two because it was done for me, with nothing asked for in return. Even if the Anons didn't think much of it at the time, it made me happy.

>>4012120
What was the image request you made?
>>
>>4012121
The one sig did recently with Anon getting a hug from martlet/zartlet (I don't think anyone else requested that)
the one oldentale anon did of Kitsy and darkblade fighting,
and the one martletdrawanon did of Martlet in a dress, though two people made that request, It's still special in my head.


Like I said, it also just makes me happy seeing anons finish pieces that are for themselves but it's neat.

Can you stop with the doomposting? People like your drawings and you're one of the main reasons why some Oldentale and Naranja characters got more attention in the threads at all.
Just because some of your posts get negative reactions from time to time you shouldn't act like the entire thread is against you. People would notice if you disappeared from the threads.

Nah, it's completely PG. Sadie compliments Kanako's drawings at the oasis while blushing, and Kanako starts drawing her while blushing and stuttering. Sadie takes the pen, starts adding to the drawing while blushing, and the two laugh while blushing and stuttering. Eventually they start whispering outside the player's earshot, drop the paper to the ground and walk away together, holding hands and blushing.

Cole had fallen asleep fishing, hat over his eyes, and wakes up when they leave. Examining the drawing shows a colored pencil illustration of Kanako and Sadie blushing, holding hands and blushing. Flavor text referencing the conversation implies Cole was awake and listening, though not blushing.

Betty and Veronica relationship drama isn't NTR, it's an ordinary love triangle. It only becomes NTR by focusing on the despair of the one not getting attention rather than the impossible choice of the protagonist between the two. Deltarune became NTR because Toby positioned Kris as having feelings for both but ended up with neither for now. The references to cuck memes like the tree cake just make it clearer that that's the intention, but you can easily do love triangles that don't become NTR. Ironically enough the namesake of that kind of love triangle might no longer work as the example here because that crappy CW show had Betty and Veronica kiss each other more than either kissed Archie; I specifically mean the love triangle from the comics.

>>4012159
Suselle is actually shitty on purpose, not to set up a deconstruction of the romance and break them apart as people suspected pre-Ch5, but because Toby Fox wanted the option he chose for the NTR to have as few fans as possible and make even neutral parties feel NTR'd by being unable to prevent it and unable to skip it

I'd rather die than write ntrshit
This more humorous than anything actually romantic, I don't think I can write a thing like that yet. At most, this is mostly some confused feelings and heart-flutterings from the situation.
Turns out that the first time you see a girl naked, and its not the girl your heart pines for, but is still someone you've known since childhood and is someone you care deeply for, you're gonna get some confusing thoughts.
Maybe I'll do a proper Cole/Sadie fic at some point, but not now.

Look, I mainly took offense at your reasoning for quitting. Its fine if the story doesn't work out, that's just how the creative process is some times. If you can't find the motivation to write, or can't figure out where to take something, or if real life gets in the way then that's fine. Just don't go around acting like Undertale fanfiction can't work in a literary medium, or like people's per-concieved incorrect interpretations of how a character looks will ruin a story, because they won't. Written words can stand on their own, and its perfectly fine for people to imagine things differently from how you imagined them.

I'm fine with you discussing whatever, even if it never goes anywhere. Just don't tie yourself to such toxic ideas or state them as though they're something other writers should take as the facts of the matter.

I'm not convinced that many people ACTUALLY like the ship for the ship, even if they claim otherwise; they just like [the gay ship] winning. I think if we had an extended scene of Catti seducing Noelle on the beach it would get an almost identical reaction, or Catti seducing Temmie, or Temmie seducing egg (coded MtF representation).

I had the misfortune of watching Legend of Korra right before Chapter 5 released and the two characters in the "lesbian relationship" revealed in the last two minutes of the show rarely speak to each other throughout the entire show, and half of the conversations they did have with each other centered around the boy they were both trying to date. Despite this the ship is one of the first things brought up any time the show gets mentioned, and people praising the show usually praise the """gay representation""" that doesn't appear onscreen for 570 of the show's 572 minutes of runtime when you remove intros and credits. Yuri fans do not give the slightest shit about the characters being shipped, they are only obsessed with the platonic ideal of two girls blushing and holding hands and need nothing more. It's my belief that Toby Fox isn't trying to court this audience for the simple reason that no serious effort is required to court that audience.

These people can't be real, yuri fans should get their posting rights revoked.
Sometimes I question if I should bother writing romance at all because I don't think I could. Their standards are so low I'm fully confident I could write a romance plot that would make their hearts "melt", if I were into Yuri.

I think this is true, but not in the way the author of the post intended. Seeing Noelle's determination sync with my own as we pushed forward to bring her dream to fruition makes (You)elle the best ship in the game. I want to push this game to its very limit with and for Noelle.

I don't even believe in hell as eternal damnation. I think of it as a holding cell you wait in until judgement day, a place which is mainly made horrible by the people in it. And the fire and brimstone is the cleansing fire that destroys everything in it on judgement day. Still really sucks to be, but not like eternity of burning bad. I think at that point even if someone was somehow infinitely evil, that just the knowledge that such a place exists would start harming other people.

I'm not that guy who said Clover deserves that though. I honestly don't know who would wish eternal damnation on Clover, apart from maybe the surviving monsters after his rampage. Maybe we have monsters posting on /v/.

literally just taking the time to make the characters act according to how they would act, which makes a better story in the first place, would make a better romance.
I genuinely think toby's problem is that he might think that romance doesn't borrow from any of the normal character dynamics or person to person dynamics that make up the majority of peoples interactions in real life even.
>>
>>4012193
there's all sorts of ways to go about it that make more sense than the eternal suffering set up. Hell even the hindu, for how detailed they got in setting up their different varieties of hells, made sure it wasn't eternal (though they still go with some pretty insane time spans)
>Maybe we have monsters posting on /v/.
what boards would chujin use.
>>
>>4012195
what makes me think suselle was purposefully set up/forced is exactly that, toby did write a good dynamic for both krusie and kriselle, hell maybe even ralsus. this is why people think susie is literally being brainwashed by the dark world or the prophecy (specially when ch 5 rewrote the reason susie bullied kris)
it is just suselle itself that was the problem, and I would rather the game have had no romance at all than it happening, so I am still hoping (coping) that this is just part of tobias' plan and he just doesn't force yuri for yuri sake
>>
>>4012195
When Toby wants to write romance he just turns off the characters personalities.
Toby will never learn how to make proper romances because yurifags have insanely low standards, they will accuse of being homophobic anyone who dares to criticize their precious yuri, which is the mark of the antichrist in this fandom.

>>4012196
>what boards would chujin use.
/pol/, maybe the dev threads in /v/ since he programmed those games/romhacks for Kanako
>>
>>4012197
Anon, in the anniversary stream Toby said that Alphyne was a introduction to girl on girl romance or something like that, he legitimately doesn't see anything wrong with how he writes the ships, if you keep huffing that copium I'll have to confiscate it from you, for your own good.
>>
>>4012196
Depending on who you ask it could be anything from /pol/ and /int/ to /lgbt/. I think the safest picks would be /diy/ and /g/. Those seem like the most canon compliant ones outside of Chujin not even knowing what a 4chan is.

Anyways, about hell. I think that eternal suffering thing might just be something that catholic church picked up from the Romans. Since in the scripture its usually referred to more like a garbage pit located next to paradise then a place buried under the earth.

I find the hindu concepts of the afterlife to be horrible though. Like genuinely horrific. Even the "nice" parts of it.

The monster afterlife is pretty weird though, having it basically just be you inhabiting an inanimate object forever.

I know anon but I just can't imagine why someone would just throw a big thing they had going in the trash like that, I've come to not hate chapter 5 as much as I did back on release after thinking some things but I still rank it as the lowest chapter overall specially after coming after 4

>I find the hindu concepts of the afterlife to be horrible though.
oh yeah absolutely, it's a fucking nightmare
>Like genuinely horrific. Even the "nice" parts of it.
to be honest, I was always too fascinated in "Naraka" to actually read on the less horrible afterlifes.
>/diy/ and /g/
those make sense. maybe /out/ as well since it has a lot of diy type stuff.
>Anyways, about hell. I think that eternal suffering thing might just be something that catholic church picked up from the Romans
something notable, is that the old testament has a lot of references in it that suggest people at the time may have believed that you simply "sleep" when you die, unless awoken for specific reasons.
>picked up from the Romans
very possibly that and several different pagan religions that got absorbed in various ways.

Do people really get upset when their waifu/husbando starts a relationship with another character?
>>
>>4012211
well yes people do, to an autistic extent. That said I'm not upset, I'm just not invested in ships with her because I'm too busy fantasizing being with her myself.

I wonder how people here will react if any of the waifus from the fangames end up being shipped with another character, assuming said character isn't the protagonist
>>
>>4012214
probably varies. Think of it this way, people still waifu undyne despite her getting together with alphys, and a lot of the time it's done without bringing alphys into the picture to be mean to her.

I just think it would be cute if clover had a mom and dad, I do admit I think it's a bit far fetched since starlo outright antagonized martlet in order to scoop up clover from her
>>
>>4012215
In that case, the "variable" here would be the character that is shipped with the waifu, like Sans with Toriel, no one wants to see their waifu dating an ugly bastard
>>
>>4012217
I will once again bring up that "au" or whatever it was where martlet and starlo don't personally get together but still each adopt Clover.
>>
>>4012218
there's that, but there's also people who would rather just disregard whatever ship is in place in universe because they want to fug and hug that character. It's autistic yeah but it's not "non sharing selfshipper" level autistic by a long shot.
>>
>>4012194
My prediction is that, if it happens at all, it would be at 5k, and nothing short of a new fangame shadowdropping would get this thread there. We shouldn't actively try for it regardless.
>>
>>4012221
I see, I imagine the aspect of "not wanting to get into someone's relationship" would play a role too, because if your waifu is already dating, for your self ship to work that other character must be separated.
>>
>>4012223
I think most people just don't acknowledge said character when engaging in that kind of autism or in some very very special types of autism they take both
>>

That's not even a catchy name. Does this ship only apply to the pacifist route? Would genocide route Martroba be called Zenith Fury instead?

I'm now reminded of that self shipper who was very possesive of Ceroba, to the point he didn't want other people shipping themselves with her, but was fine with "sharing" Chujin with others.
>>
>>4012227
that shit still gets a solid laugh out of me every time I remember it.
"Ceroba? No, aint got one of those to share. I got a chujin you can have though."
How do you share someone elses husband?

Not just ignore his existence or just assume he's still dead so you can have her, no. We got chujin out on loan.

quit reminding me I never finished that fuckin comic
>>
>>4012228
Pretty sure he shipped himself with Chujin too, he just didn't care if someone else was fucking him, probably only kept him around so someone could sit and watch from the cuck chair.
>>
>>4012231
maybe he didn't feel comfortable taking just the roba, felt like he HAD to take them both.
>>
>>4012218
Maybe unrelated, but I can confirm there are actual UTY fans that got mad over Sans cucking Asgore, yet they jerk off to Starlo cucking Chujin (the dude that made the cheating comic on arr UTY is one of these I think). This is actually worse than just being into all cuckshit/NTR imo because it’s being selective about which cuckshit/NTR you’re into cause you have a personal agenda against a character

>>4012233
I want to believe they liked the cuck comic because of the drama it generated and not because they thought it was an story that made sense, cucking is OOC for Ceroba when her biggest trait is her loyalty

>>4012236
I've had this theory for months as well. I do believe still it was also formed because it was his fetish (a panel later in this comic references actual porn), but the comic was created not long after c3/c4 released where everybody was making cuckshit jokes of some type and was enraged by the Jitterbug scene. What better way to get attention for your comic series than to have it be about NTR? A Ceroba sprite from the first part (I can't post it now) was literally modeled after the one where Toriel was laughing on the ground during the jitterbug scene. The comic doesn't even update often as it did probably because the Soriel rage has become more relaxed, so it can't rely on drama bait as much anymore
>>
>>4012265
They are, one of them is next to Clover in the dojo and the other two are in the church.
>Devs need to take note of whatever it is that makes them absolutely forgettable.
I can't even tell them apart or remember a single of their dialogue lines or personality traits, they are the Clover equivalent of chapter 2 yet no one remembers them.
>>
>>4012269
I have absolutely no idea which one's name is which. I just know that when I go back and replay chapter 2, I am reminded they exist and it's not great. that whole sequence was something else.
they aren't just boring, they are aggressively and painfully boring in a way that's hard to capture.

>>4012272
>I have absolutely no idea which one's name is which.
same, if you were to put a gun on my head and ask me to answer which one is which, I would pull the trigger myself
>they aren't just boring, they are aggressively and painfully boring in a way that's hard to capture.
If you managed to capture their absolute essence of boredom and turn it into a character, you could make a running gag of other characters struggling to remember his name or describe his appearance every time they want to reference him, but paradoxically that would make him not as forgettable.
>>
>>4012275
>but paradoxically that would make him not as forgettable.
yeah I was thinking as I read that, a lot of people would like a character with a running joke like that.
>>
>>4012274
I was about to ask if you would still love her even if she were a worm, but your attraction towards Pastra already answers that question.
Fine, you can have your regular Martlet back.

So it’s officially been around 6 months since the last update from Undertale Wildfire.
What’s going on with its development?
>>
>>4012281
I'm wondering about that twitter purge that the one anon spotted. I mean we had supposed writers from there team stop by here more recently than 6 months I think, but even then they could have been in the dark?
>>
>>4012281
The Toby/Nintendo ninjas got to them
>>
>>4012282
val leveled their office with a bravery blast
>>
>>4012281
it likely melted down from internal drama, something we warned the devs multiple times when they showed up here (specially after those cancellation attempts)
>>
>>4012285
it's believable considering the some of you mentioned their team had the regular twitter types on it.
I kind of feel bad in a way talking about it, I don't want to cheer it's death on I just have a hard time believing it's still alive.
>>
>>4012285
NTA, but I had the hope they would kick out the more volatile members, they got some twitter people in their team, and it wasn't looking good
>>
>>4012286
I imagine having a team with 4chan users and twitter users could lead to some drama eventually
>>
I can finally make my au where Riley is a toxic gambling streamer that loses all of his money constantly and punches holes in his wall

No, as far as I recall, it was someone else
>>
guys guys guys

incredible gaster
>>
>>4012137
How did you type this post with your fucked up wrists, radiation?
>>
Did some investigative research to see what was going on with UTW.
Most of the other devs (besides WildBeemo) have been posting regularly on Twitter, not about UTW but that’s expected. Also two of them have UTW listed on their bios, so none have left the team from what I can tell.
I have not checked the Discord, but from what another anon has said it’s inactive like all the other socials.
Unlike what >>4012285 has said there doesn’t seem to have been any conflict within the team. Just radio silence, besides the creator deleting his Twitter account.
Maybe there’ll be an update near the combat demo’s anniversary?
>>
>>4012296
That explains Green Gaster theory at least
>>
>>4012299
I'll continue to hope. I would figure that with some of those types, the drama would spread if it had been infighting
>>
>>4012156
I call it double NTR, because it has best girl and second best girl cuck the MC for each other. But it goes a step beyond that in the weird route by out NTRing the player after positioning him as the ugly bastard with mindbreak powers. So the weird route may be double ntr squared.
>>
>>4012301
oh, but the guys at the Broken Dreams Bar had already prepared a welcoming party for Riley and Co...

Its bad on purpose because that's how he gets off. It will only get worse from here.

>>4012165

That just makes it worse. Its Toby dangling the food just out of reach of the starving man. He knows what he could have, and sees it right there, but knows he'll never have it.

i was doing some thinking earlier, I think you could swap chapter 3 and chapter 5 to very little disbenefit narratively

I know I had seen this evil somewhere before. What a truly wretched show. I bet its Toby's favorite (aside from Steven Universe of course).
>>
>>4012172
I feel despair knowing I share a planet and species with these things.
>>
>>4012301
I just think it’s strange, since I thought with the silence there was some kind of drama or announcement posted elsewhere, but instead it’s… Nothing.
It’s not like there couldn’t be an update later in the year, but it’s just as likely that it goes the way of Tenacious Road, which was so inactive that even their website stopped working.
>>
>>4012204
Starlet's just kinda meh. It doesn't ruin either character or require writing them as completely different people, it just has literally nothing supporting it in the game and not much to base chemistry off of.

Feathered Mask is automatically evil because its yuri in an Undertale game.
>>
>>4012306
The lore dumps and implications Tenna gave for the Dreemurr household and for Kris in particular are important, though, and the game would be very difficult if we missed out on that until Chapter 5. A lot of the things stated out loud in Chapter 5 were written between the lines in Chapter 3, but Chapter 5 progressed things a lot more even accounting the very similar endings of each chapter.>>4012307
>>
>>4012214
Well, I guess we'll find out. Its bound to happen eventually.
>>
>>4012309
Maybe its in an undead state like how UT Futility was for a long while, only time will tell if they manage to resurrect fully

>>4012218
Toriel is an evil bitch. Soriel is a match made in hell. I'd say they deserve each other, but no one else deserves to be subjected to them being together.
>>
>>4012233
Maybe they get like getting angry, and made that cheating comic because they enjoy the pointless drama.
>>
>>4012302
Weird Route is the only salvation from the NTR for now. It hard stops Suselle if you fully commit and I don't think it undid the mindbreak aspect of the route; the Noelle you see in Chapter 5 is what happens after the mindbreak, and her lucidity doesn't discount how much you rearranged her mind and tore off her mask.
>>
>>4012224
Ah yes, the Rouxlspill.
>>
>>4012228
>How do you share someone elses husband?
This feels like something rouxls would do.
>>
>>4012317
the suselle date still happens in WR according to what susie says when you explore town but noelle is not a nervous wreck like NR and just is calmly smiling all the time which could be creepy in its own way, and there is the part where noelle tries to give susie all her money which is tied to suicidal stuff

Noelle goes on the date because she's still playing the role of Noelle, and she resumes the role (for now at least, hoping it changes the next chapter in a major way) if you don't cross over to the other side, but if you do cross over then Noelle has completely broken out of her role unless we're secretly still fulfilling the prophecy in an unknown way and has no need for Susie

Maybe to maintain the effect, you could keep subtly changing his name and appearance, so no once can ever quite remember what he's called or what he looks like.
>>

Maybe they took our advice and went dark as a drama mitigation measure.

Chapter 5 didn't progress anything. It vagueposted, restated shit we already knew, retreaded previous chapters, and of course ruined every ongoing character arc for the sake of ntr yuri.
>>
>>4012327
They aren't horrible but I dislike every time I have to see them. Their cutscenes and fight take too long even if you hold [C] and let Kris get downed on the first turn (which you can't always accomplish), and their music is bland despite having about ten goddamned songs to themselves. Until Chapter 5 gave us Blue I would call them the worst characters in Deltarune; again, not atrocities, but a speed bump you're forced to sit through every playthrough, even on the Weird Route.

It was CATHARTIC when I played a shitpost Deltarune mod called Deltaruined that added a way to kill them in the fight, and "But nobody came." popped up in their shop afterward.

Yeah, but the lyrics refer to the flower in the can as the flower man. "Flower man, flower man, watches the world from a can"
>>
>>4012340
Okay, disclaimer that I have not played this mod in three years and don't know what's in the current build, which has a lot more than what I played.
https://gamejolt.com/games/deltaruined/759610
It's a "throw shit at the wall" shitpost mod that arbitrarily changes scenes to whatever the author thinks is funny, with a lot of dialogue AND gameplay changes. The demo I played only went from the start of Chapter 2 to the Berdly rollercoaster fight—before the demo I had played there was apparently a complete Chapter 1 but the author removed it due to considering parts of it too low quality—and since then has brought back Chapter 1 (whether it's complete or not I do not know) and completed more of Chapter 2, though it sounds like it's not complete.
The mod made me laugh my ass off the way a shitty adult swim cartoon can; not every joke is funny, I'd say the majority aren't, but they throw so many changes at you from so many different angles that it just put me in an incredible mood. The first change that got me and my friends to laugh uncontrollably was early into Chapter 2 when Susie, at the point where she slams Kris into the locker and starts raving about how she couldn't sleep all night, repeats the animation and sound effect endlessly so she's just beating the shit out of Kris for the entire cutscene. There were hundreds of changes, mostly small but some large, and some of them weren't even shitposts but actually cool features like making Ralsei's hat a toggle, adding talk dialogue with Susie and Ralsei in every room a la Papyrus, and increasing the difficulty of the Berdly fight by having Queen actually help. There was also a secret room that had to be accessed like an Egg room where you fought Gaster's brother and his first attack immediately crashes the game on purpose.
(1/2)
>>
>>4012340
>>4012345
The two things I need to warn you about, at least based on the version I played, are that there are comedic kaizo traps that will instantly kill you even in the overworld, so save often, and Susie and Ralsei have relationship meters that make them not attack if their relationship with Kris gets too low; this is explained in-game after a point but I'm warning you about it because there's an event preceding this introduction that sets Ralsei's score to -10 and he refused to talk to me for the entire demo, and I had to play the demo a second time to experience his room dialogue. If you want to avoid this, do not throw the manual at him, because it will explode and almost kill him. For all I know this was changed or rearranged in the current version though. I have no idea what's in Chapter 1.

I recommend it based on my old playthrough but only if you keep in mind it's a deliberate mess that throws literally anything the author can think of without cohesion. You are walking into a shitpost.
>>
I wanted to wait until things died down a bit more before posting this, so as not to ruin anyone else's fun.
I've had a lot of thoughts on the discussion that occurred earlier in the thread, and while I was initially going to write some giant wall of text, I have chosen to refrain from doing so, in favor of keeping things relatively short.
I do not feel safe to speak my mind in these threads, and I feel almost insulted at the idea that I should.
I have not forgotten the hostility I was met with for doing so since it happened, and I do not believe I can feel comfortable to speak freely here again anytime soon, especially since this isn't even the first time I've been hounded for something minor like that.
I don't know what to do about this feeling. I like being here, but I don't appreciate being told that I'm just being dramatic when I think about this, or when I think about just leaving these threads entirely, because after I was snapped at just for asking that drawanon if he could tone down his fucking avatar usage of all things, I will *never* not think that I don't belong here, or that my presence just angers people, or that I shouldn't speak my mind.
I can never not think these things, because I got branded as a fucking troll just for a single post, the digital equivalent of asking someone to move over on the couch.
Don't feel a need to reply to this, there's nothing to discuss.
I just want to make my feelings on the matter clear so you can understand what I mean when I say I don't feel welcome to speak my mind around here.

Well, for what its worth. Despite very frequently disagreeing with you very vehemently on a great many things, I actually like having you around. I'd like to think the other anons here feel the same way.

I think that incident the other was a genuine case of mistaken identity. As for any hostility you see now. I think its just that one anon getting defensive over his favorite artfag. Probably afraid he'll leave if he's shit talked too much. I know I've certainly said stuff that's pissed people off before, its just the kind of thing that happens. And of course when there's negativity in the air (like trolls or a shitty new release) its going to breed more. I think recent events aren't so much a sign that people around here hate you. I think its the opposite actually. They're just all autists, many of which have poor communication skills or poor control of their emotions (or both in my case) and tend to overblow issues that aren't really that important.

I don't think anyone knew how much this bothered you.

I don't think you should shut up, even if I disagree you with you on some things. Its certainly better than being met with resounding silence or banal hugboxing like you'd get on other sides of the internet.

I'm not gonna pretend to know the inner workings of your mind, or try to tell you what you should do. So instead I'll just say what I do know, which is that I like having you around and like what you contribute to the conversation. Regardless of what you do, I wish you well.

Sorry if I said anything stupid that comes across as insulting or patronizing. Its 3:30 AM where I am, and I am running on fumes right now. I'm struggling to focus to type this post, so rational thinking is right out at the moment. Just know whatever offense this may have caused wasn't intended.

I'm just so tired.
I'm so fucking tired of all of this.
I think this is the first time I've cried actual tears like this for a very long time.
Rage, despair, I don't know.
I'm just so fucking tired of having to put up with this.
This isn't even the first time some dumb bullshit has happened to me with this guy's fans, either. I've had my work called flat-out "wrong" in comparison to his just for the sake of praising him for editing in fucking eyes, I got harassed by his fans in a thread a few months back just because I said I didn't want to engage with his work and they wouldn't take that as an answer, and there's all that fucking spamming so fucking always, every thread, every day, completely unprompted.
And now this, I fucking dare to ask him to not use avatars quite as often, and I become a fucking pariah.
I'm so fucking tired of all of this shit.
It's not even his fault, his fans are just fucking relentless.
I'm so fucking tired.
And then, after that, whichever anon that was earlier has the fucking audacity to tell me I shouldn't be afraid to speak my mind?
As if I wouldn't be opening the gates of fucking hell if I did?
I want a fucking break. I want to be able to speak my mind, I want to be able to make a passing reply to another anon without getting fucking crucified over it because I said something some fucking troll happened to say, I want things to be fucking normal again.
I know people'll be targeting me for this message. I know you probably won't even like it, but what am I supposed to say?
I am so fucking tired, of all of this.
Sometimes I just fucking hate these threads. Just sometimes.
Sometimes it feels like that's all I have. Like there's just nothing else inside me but hatred and malice. I shouldn't be feeling this way about this, this is fucking stupid, but I can't fucking feel anything else anymore. It eats away at me.

I don't think your message is patronizing. You're fine. Maybe everything is, and it's just me that's wrong.

Well for my part of things, I'll do my best to avoid being aggressive or going off on people in future conversations. I don't know what other people will do, but I hope they'll do the same. Not as some hugbox thing, but just because as has been very clearly demonstrated the old adage of "assuming makes an ass of you and me" holds true here. We have a nice thing going here, and we shouldn't ruin it with petty bitch fights and schizo hunting.

>Sometimes it feels like that's all I have. Like there's just nothing else inside me but hatred and malice. I shouldn't be feeling this way about this, this is fucking stupid, but I can't fucking feel anything else anymore. It eats away at me.
Anon, I say this as someone who has had mental issues of his own, and who has seen it destroy other people, some of them close friends: if its that bad, and exists not just on this site, but everywhere in your life, I would strongly urge you to seek treatment for that. Maybe you already have and it didn't work, and I'm coming across like an ignorant ass. Or maybe you aren't having issues outside of here, and I'm being presumptive. Or maybe its some third unknown unknown that I'm missing due to sheer ignorance. But in the event that it is the first thing, and you really are suffering from this all the time, I think seeing a doctor over it may be a good idea.

I know I've been feeling a bit less stable lately, and you've all had to deal with me making an ass of myself because of that. So I speak with some degree sympathy here. I hate the entire concept of meds, but seeing what I've said lately and how emotional I've gotten over what should be nothing, I've been seriously reconsidering that stance.

Urge for a theological argument must be resisted....
Tbh, I can understand why it's hard for a lot of people to justify it. It is by definition the most unpleasant part of thinking "what comes after" and New Age beliefs intentionally handwave it away. I'm glad though that anons recognize it's not something particular to Christianity but is common across many religions, to the point it might well be intuitive.
I do find it fascinating how it's referenced in Undertale repeatedly despite monster souls being ephemeral and incapable of going there. You could chalk it up to cultural osmosis (like the atheist saying "oh my God") or written in to be edgy without breaching the E10 rating, but monsters may genuinely believe that there's an afterlife for human souls. As for what humans in the setting think, it's my headcanon that Clover firmly believes that hell exists due to his strong sense of justice and having witnessed things that warrant it.
>>4012149
I feel like this has opportunity for a platonic heart-to-heart with Sadie, allowing her to gauge what his true feelings for Kanako are like.

UTY/DRY cast visiting Washington D.C., maybe the Jefferson Memorial, and pointing to something with fireworks in the background. Okay, maybe that's a tall order....
I liked the grilling idea, maybe with Clover/Cole and Kanako racing each other to scarf down a hotdog. Canonically it's one of Clover's favorite foods.

It's fine, you're fine, don't worry, I'm not offended by any of this.
I think it's all just localized to here right now. Not right at this minute, not towards you, but I swear to god, when I was being dogpiled back in that /v/ thread, I swear I wanted nothing but the worst for everyone yelling at me.
But then, I go do something else, talk with someone else, do whatever, and it's like it vanishes.
Hell, I even went and hung out with some friends in person after the initial discussion earlier, and I felt fine.
Then, I came back, and started thinking about all this again, and I just couldn't contain it anymore, and made that message. I don't even know what the point of it was anymore.
That's not to say I don't have my own issues, of course I do, I shouldn't even be feeling the way I do as it is, but I think this has all just been building up and compounding on itself from how much it just keeps happening, it's driving me fucking crazy.
Maybe that's the point though, isn't it?
I bet they're all laughing their god damned asses off at just how wound up I've gotten, this is what they wanted all along.
I don't know, I don't know anything.
I like being in these threads, I like talking with people, with you, with who fucking ever, and I like making stuff for these threads, even if I sometimes go under the radar, but god fucking damnit, I just don't know how much more of this endless bullshit I can take, and I don't know where to put all this rage.
Maybe I just don't know myself.

I know I'm not in a great state of mind right now, I've been having to clear away tears just to see what I'm actually typing for a bit now, but I appreciate your kind words earlier, and the other anon's too, even though I didn't know how to respond to him.
Thank you, really.
I'll recompose myself eventually. Sooner or later I have to sleep, or do something else that'll take my mind off of it, and I'll be just a little harder to break next time.

Some people are ridiculously petty and are going to pollute the thread for the sake of some personal grievance. When it comes to something you genuinely care about like art, it can be difficult to just ignore it, which usually is the best option.
I don't know if you've ever seen the "autistic person meets someone 1% more autistic" meme, but I feel it applies here as well. I can't say for sure, but I suspect some people who would otherwise have jumped to your defense decided to stand by, or even join in, because they didn't like your more florid musings.
I take breaks from these threads sometimes and that helps keep things fresh when I come back, so maybe that could help? I wish I had more advice to offer but I do wish the best.

This is probably stupid what I'm about to say right now, really stupid. Maybe you'll hate me for this, and honestly it goes against all my good sense as someone who benefits from anonymity on this site.

But I was one of those people who called you a troll. I genuinely thought that post was by a troll then, not someone posting in good faith. I didn't stop to think, just saw something, assumed the worst, and posted something stupid. I backed off once I realized it might be a genuine post, and defended you after that. But I suppose the damage was already done.

I guess if you hate me for that, then I can't really call foul. I made my bed, hell I'm probably only digging the hole deeper telling you now. But maybe, just maybe I'll be able to express to you that I at least some of that was an honest misunderstanding, and not people holding genuine malice towards you. And I think, maybe some other people in that conversation might have been like that as well. Just foolhardy, jumpy, and angry from having to deal with all sorts of things.

Anyways, sorry for that, truly sorry. I don't want to inflict this kind of thing onto anyone. (and to be clear, I wasn't all of that, and quit early on)
>>
>>4012378
>, if it becomes genuinely upsetting then something is wrong.
Anon you were replying to with that here, I know that, even if I really don't accept it like I should. I've been in drawanon's shoes way more times than I should, on the verge of tears because of some argument in these threads. You've seen me freak out and make stupid demands or get into shouting matches with people here over stupid things. Hell, I've had things here impact my health before, I wasn't being hyperbolic when I said I felt like that BunBun thing was giving me heart trouble. And most lately chapter 5 had me so upset I was losing sleep, developed an ulcer (I think its better now), and was irritable and getting combative with people.

I know I should probably take a break for a while, but like drawanon, I like being here, and more importantly these threads are basically the only thing I have going on in my life. And the game is basically the only thing I'm capable of having going on in my life. So I stay here, probably way more than I should.

I have to wonder if a lot of this is me and people like me being cooped up together for too long, until they start driving each other crazy in little ways without even trying. That's probably unfair to the other anons though. For all I know, maybe I'm just the one who's crazy.
>>
>>4012380
I appreciate the honesty.
I am disappointed in your lack of thought, but if you at least backed off after a while, I can't hate you.
I hate *this*. Whatever's happened around here that's made it so that that's the default position, assuming someone speaking in any negative sense is inherently speaking in bad faith altogether.
What you did was a product of that shift in culture in these threads, but I can't hate you.
I hate the spammers, I hate the trolls, I hate those psychotic fucks who harassed me about the drawanon's art, I hate the people who shoehorn in that dumb bullshit into every possible opportunity, I hate those ones, all of them, for what they've done to our threads.
>>

I know, getting like this isn't ideal.

>>4012385
While I was one of the first ones to call you a troll there, I was also one of the first to defend you. As I've said before, I have a bad habit of doing rash and stupid things, and it seems to have gotten worse in recent months as have these emotional episodes.

I think maybe this is the result of the people here obviously having a few screws loose (no shade against you, but we are all a little weird and that makes us easier to upset than most normies would be, or at least it does me) and some very determined shitposters taking advantage of that to pit us against each other.

I think shifting the culture back to something usable is doable, but it will take temperance and conscious effort.

First of all, we'll have to assume people are posting in good faith, even if its unlikely or we don't want to believe someone unironically thinks that sort of thing. And we need to try to engage (if you want to engage at all) calmly as though it was posted in good faith. And if you find yourself getting mad at a post try not to take it personally or make it a personal attack on the other person.

And second, if you know a poster is posting in bad faith for certain, then simply do not engage with them. Don't insult them, or try to fight with them, or shit talk them to other posters. Simply pretend they don't exist. Anything else is playing their game. Even if it feels good to do it, they don't seem to mind it being done, and it ends up coming back around to hit innocent posters eventually.

I know I haven't been a good practicioner of these things. But I'm proposing them as something to strive for. A sort of set of best practices for posting in the thread.

Would you be willing to accept something like that? Or is it too late?

And I extend the question to the other anons as well. Would you be willing to make the threads better in that way?
>>
>>4012389
I think that sounds mostly fine, there's just certain behavior that should be more clearly labelled as trolling when it comes up, such as the endless spam regarding all of that shit.
Of course, the real problem would be getting the thread's userbase at large to agree to this, which seems unlikely.
I'll do my best to try and adhere to this as well as I can, however.
>>
>>4012393
Well in the future just try to ingore posts that act like obvious trolls or unreasonable assholes. Their opinions don't matter so the best thing you can do is to treat them like they aren't matter, or in other words don't exist.

I'll try to think before I post, and I hope other anons will do the same. Then if we do that, then we can safely ignore anyone who doesn't, and not let ourselves lose sleep over them.
>>
>>4012396
Hopefully this will lead to some improvements sooner, rather than later, but I suppose we'll have to see.
>>
>>4012368
Maybe, but I think that would result in some tonal clash with what I've already got written. Like I said, at most I think a few heart-flutterings are in order, something like Cole acknowledging Sadie's physical attractiveness, Cole questioning what that means, Sadie finding herself surprisingly comfortable with being seen naked by Cole, small stuff in passing for them to dwell on later. I'd elaborate more, but it'd be better for me to just finish the actual piece and go from there.
>>
>>4012385
I'm going to say something that you may not like, but I feel like you should hear this, because in many ways, you yourself are responsible for the negative stigma that surrounds you here.
I understand there were trolls and shitposters in many threads, but a large majority of the stuff you said in those threads which was all you, pretty much gave you the reputation of someone who was problematic, or someone who was unpleasant to speak to.
While I didn't engage in the conversations, I was there and saw many of the things you did, which in all honestly pretty much gave you a really bad rep here, not helped by the fact that when you were called out on what you were doing you doubled down on it.
You can't be describing another drawanon's work as doing nothing but churning out shit, and then expect people to stay silent about it. Nor can you describe some people's interests here as shit either. You brought that on yourself. The excessive swearing doesn't help your case either, which is something you've done in multiple threads, even when it wasn't warranted.
When people started calling you out for being an asshole in the previous thread, because of your repeated incredibly asshole like posts in many of the past threads, that should have been the moment where you stopped and thought about what you were doing, but instead you doubled down proving people right.
You say you don't have a problem with the other drawanon, yet your "criticisms" just come across as an excuse to be an asshole towards his work, which you conveniently hide behind "critique". Once again when you were called out for what you were doing, you response was to tell people to fuck of, and you kept doing it. You're not going to convince people your not here to stir up trouble, and you don't have a problem with the drawanon, when you do stuff like that.
The best thing you can do now, is hopefully learn from all this, and be more mindful with what you say, and how you come across to others.
>>
>>4012393
>just certain behavior that should be more clearly labelled as trolling when it comes up, such as the endless spam regarding all of that shit.
People spamming all sorts of stuff here is par for the course. It's going to happen for a lot of stuff, and it's not something that anyone's going to stop doing.
If it's something your not particularly interested in just ignore it. Don't make a callout post, or try to tell people they're ruining the threads with their interests, cause all it's going to do is create a shitstorm that no one wants, cause innocent people are going to feel like you're attacking them.
Outside of trolls or shitposters, no one here really wants conflict, so we should all try to avoid creating it whenever possible.
>>
>>4012422
I'm not that fucking troll, leave me the hell alone already.
>>

To be fair a lot of problems can be avoided just from common sense. It's not like anything major needs to happen.
If you suspect what you say may possibly stir up some trouble in some fashion, even if you say you don't mean to cause problems, just do what other people do and not say anything.
Ironically not bringing attention to something is usually the best way to ensure it doesn't become a problem here.

I didn't know how much this was affecting you until now, when that argument about avatarfagging was going on, I made one post clarifying that I didn't think you were trolling, I didn't want to further engage with that discussion because I felt it was going nowhere.

The drawanon literally only uses avatars when he's posting something significant, an big update, or asking for requests which is no different from what other drawanons do. It's not something they do excessively in the way that your trying to portray, so people being against you and calling you out for that isn't unreasonable, cause it comes across like your targeting him for doing something other artists here do, for the sake of stirring up something when you claim you're not. He's been making posts how sees fit for years, and it's never been problem to anyone, so the callout post you made wasn't really warranted, especially after what happened in the previous thread. That was very tactless of you on your part, when the appropriate thing to do in this situation was to just keep it yourself, and avoid any problems.
>As if I wouldn't be opening the gates of fucking hell if I did?
People have all sort of based opinions here, and for the most part no one really hates them, or the person, even when they get into huge debates, unless it's something people have a problem with. Though in your case I don't how to explain this, but it kind of feels like some of your posts are excessively negative? In a way to were it can kind of rub people the wrong way, especially if you direct it towards someone that people feel doesn't deserve the negativity.
I get it, sometimes you just want to say something, like you just have to make a post about something, as if every fibre of your being is urging you to do it, when nobody else is entertaining it. But for the sake of ensuring you don't unintentionally start something or end up in the dead of centre of something you don't want to be, it's just better to just not give in to that urge.
Like pause, take a deep breath, and ask yourself is it worth it? And if you feel deep down it's not, then don't do whatever you were thinking of doing.

I'm looking forward to it, anon. I guess it makes sense for Sadie to be sexually curious with Cole, and you might go for a romantic angle. I don't think Sadie would want to betray Kanako's trust, and I don't know if she would want Cole to keep this a secret between them, either, but you may have an interesting solution. I'm not into bugs personally, but platonically I think she's a great character.
>>

In hindsight I'm kind of glad this image of Sadie and Cole was made, cause it means there can be more situations like the one you described draw out in the future by the drawanons here if they're up for it.

look anon what I will say might come off as harsh, but I've been here for over a decade and I've been called many things, but you must not let it get to you
you must be aware that people will say whatever because you can't be held accountable for your posts here. it is literally like that "how is cyberbullying real just close your eyes" meme, because most of these posters can't do shit at the end of the day other than call you names
eventually you will get desensitized to it, but you gotta learn to not reply to everything, sometimes it's fine to just not reply to a post trying to rile you up (which is something many people fail as seen with encounter with the sharteen on /v/)
I know you are baring your emotions here but that will only give people ammo to bully you further, so my suggestion is just to be less open about this and kinda learn to "deal with it" for lack of a better term

people like that, that harass and antagonize creatives are exactly the kind of people that want to turn threads into what /vg/ becomes.
I said you were being illogical last night because your taking something onto your shoulders as if it was your fault when it's simply not.

brother, he's the only drawfag in these threads that avatar/namefags, and it came up this last weekend because he was doing it when he wasn't doing any of those things you described. I get you want to defend the guy but you're not helping by twisting the actual events. I'm not going to respond to you any further on this, I don't want the other anon to think he's at fault for starting another argument when this one is purely me noticing nonsense.

>>4012500
>it came up this last weekend because he was doing it when he wasn't doing any of those things you described.
The drawanon literally made a post informing everyone of what's going on with the requests and updating everyone on what was happening, so no there's no misinterpretation here or events getting twisted, that's literally what happened, and that was the only post in that thread the drawanon used an avatar for. So the whole thing that other anon was making a callout post over was literally over nothing, and he was over exaggerating what was actually happening. Plus the drawanon already explained why he uses a name, and it wasn't an issue as well as accepted.
I understand you want the anon to feel better, but let's alter what actually happened. He escalated things, and he severe got backlash because of it, over basically nothing. Like another anon said he has to learn to deal with what happened, and just not engage with everything here if he's not a fan of it.

God this resonates with me so much. I can't describe the amount of times where I just wanted to less loose because something was bothering me, but decided against it because I knew doing so just wasn't worth it, and would likely start something that could have easily been avoided.
>Like pause, take a deep breath, and ask yourself is it worth it? And if you feel deep down it's not, then don't do whatever you were thinking of doing.
For a lot of anons here this is probably the best advice one can give. Sometimes it's just not worth the trouble to make a post about something, and better to focus on the things you like rather than what bothers you personally.

>>4012513
He used the name to respond to unrelated ch5 opinions. No matter how much you say people are "fine with it" its something people tolerate, not something they embrace.

>>4012522
The main problem was the drawanon was being accused of avatar fagging for every post he makes which isn't true.
It's already common knowledge whenever he posts he has the Martlet drawanon name, because in his own words he wants people to know it's him specifically that's making the post.
But like it was mentioned above he uses avatars only when he's making a post that's important such as an update, requests, posting images, or something that's relevant.
He doesn't use avatars anywhere near as much as he was made out to be in a thread he's present in. But I agree we can put this to rest, because it's not going anywhere, and will likely just result in an endless back and forth.

Im not getting into this any further with you. Defending every move the guy makes like he can do no wrong is going to make more people dislike the Anon. People dislike namefagging and avatarfagging both. People especially dislike when a defense squad comes out every time you say you dislike that thing.
Most people leave it be because dealing with the autistic defense squad is not worth it. Have a great day and please consider just not replying to me. Im putting the bottle down here and now, are you strong enough to do the same?

>>4012535
Twisting things from what actually happened into something completely different isn't going to help things either.
He's uses avatars no differently from how other drawanons here use them, and it's never been a problem. Bare in mind he's been doing it for years, so it's clearly not as disliked as you're making it out to be, otherwise someone would have said something when he first started. Nor is him using a name.
This isn't about defending anymore, this is about someone making a big deal out of something that was never a problem in the first place. I don't agree with your take on things, but I am willing to put it all to rest and move on, assuming no further replies are made to this post.

You guys have some very weak willpower.
If you know nothing will come of this, why do you keep responding to each other?
This is dumb, you all know it's dumb, and it never should have got to this point.
Sorry but this just had to be said.
>>4012363
As for you, look I'm going to be very blunt here, you got to man up, and learn to block some things out.
You're going to see a whole bunch of stuff here that's not your cup of tea, and that's fine. Just engage with what you like, and stay clear of what you don't like.
We all ultimately want to get along and not make enemies of one another. We all like different things and that's fine.
We can all coexist here while having different interests without having guns pointed at each and everyone of us.
You have to learn to not reply to everything that gets under your skin, or make a post about something you don't particularly like.
It's okay to keep things to yourself, it's okay to not reply to people trying to get a rise out of you, it's okay to keep your distance from something that bothers you.
While you're in this place you're going to see so much bait, never take it. Ever. No matter how badly you want to.
You have to learn to adapt. It gets easier over time, but the first step is learning self control, and desensitising yourself to some of the stuff that happens here.

Alright, I've had some more time to think, as well as to read the various replies made towards me after last night, so I have something more closely resembling composure by now.
This is the last post I intend to make on the matter, as I don't want to drag this out any further, and I'm sure no one else does either.
I let things affect me too much, though I remain of the opinion that it's not unreasonable for me to be upset regarding some certain things mentioned previously.
I will try not to let these things bother me as much in the future, and I will try to be less vocal about it if they do.
I will try and resume standard activities shortly.
I like contributing to these threads however I can, and I suppose I will have to trust when I am told that my contributions are appreciated.
To the anons who were more understanding, and sent kind words, thank you.
That is all.

Honestly my only issue with the triangle in DR is that Suselle feels a little unnatural. Like it progresses super fast and then stuff like recontextualizing Susie's bullying as jealousy feels off. That aside I actually like how much lingering affection/yearning Kris has, and how they feel left out by the end of ch5. Like the festival itself was a let down but I like the way it encourages you to play 3rd wheel and you end up feeling left out like Kris. It's sad, but I find it compelling. I get the feeling most anons here just see it all as bad NTR though.

nothing wrong with that in the slightest. I've exposed people to my own personal comfort stories when I'm feeling at my lowest, It's fine to want something like that. I actually re-read said stories when I'm feeling really bad so really I mean it, no judgement from me on that particular front

Any of the usual characters I go for is probably fine, but if it's not too much, I think I'd like Reynault the most this time around.
That's probably too much to ask, I'm not even sure how one would write him being comforting in the typical sense, so I understand if you have to go for someone else.
If you do go with Reynault though, I also understand if you don't go too far with physical contact in it or anything. I think the most I'd want is just a hug anyway, if that's not too much.

>>4012616
I wouldn't say I'm particularly into yuri/cucking. That being said I don't really hate ch5 on principle like this thread seems to. I just like it when characters have to struggle or deal with things not going their way, and that's been happening to Kris a lot in this game.

I like meaningful struggle, but not every struggle is built equally, and ch 5 for me personally does a lot more things wrong than just cucking kris.

If Toby Fox chooses to progress the plot in a certain way then it could become something that isn't NTR but right now it's unambiguously that.

I just don't trust Toby to actually go somewhere productive with this suffering; it feels like the suffering is the point, and there's nothing in Chapter 5 directing it anywhere. The point of the yuri NTR, unless proven otherwise, appears to be just having yuri NTR.

>follows up to smaller greens that explored the idea a little, but since greens kind of just vanish into history
If you're thinking of it like an anthology, it would be fair to throw a link to the Librarby in the opening segment and give a suggestion to read X, Y, Z works, in whatever order you believe is most effective.

>but I don’t know how to actually resolve that as an issue without making this a longer story
Fair enough, and I know a thing or two about chapters getting away from me and becoming exhausting. My only suggestion would be biting the exposition bullet (and exposition isn't inherently evil, anyways) and having some narration in the beginning where critical elements are covered in a condensed format. You might even make it diegetic, with the exposition being post-revival video diaries he's watching. Perhaps this is the night of the anniversary of the barrier breaking, and Chujin is watching them back, reminiscing on the past and how he got here.

>I figure he’s only outwardly collected when he finds integrity, but internally
I understand your point of view here--and I can't really refute it, either--but my interpretation is that he's going one layer deeper, where he's not just containing the emotion, but biting down on it before he can properly feel it. Later on the feeling escapes, but I saw him as, in the moment, thwarting the emotion itself, rather than his own reaction to it.

This interpretation comes from his rapid turnaround from clutching his head to talking about Inty's outcome being "earned" in the basement tapes. But it could just as easily be "layer one" suppression, where he's containing the emotion rather than eliminating it. I hope I'm making some amount of sense here.
>>
>>4011080
>I thought him needing to dive from the top of the hill
Ah, I think I misread the passage. When I saw "rounding the hill" I thought that was them going along the side of the hill. Rounding does seem to be synonymous with cresting, as a verb, so that's my bad.

My follow up though, is wondering just how steep these hills are that Chujin can dive down them to achieve considerable distance. If they are steep, I can't imagine either Clover or Chujin being able to stay upright while sprinting down them, given that the former is not in his right mind and the latter is uncoordinated, at least in his legs and feet.

Getting into full on autism-mode now, but since Chujin is diving downward at Clover, and we're presumably not dealing with Twink-Jin, then Clover, a child, is getting smashed into the ground under the weight of a grown ass man. That would HURT. Probably break some bones, for both of them; the 'Jin isn't a spring chicken anymore, unless the revival was really generous.

...That last bit got me thinking. There's lots of stuff about the drawbacks of revival for humans, sometimes to the extent of turning them into monsters like that lizard-Clover take. What about Chujin? I'm just spitballing here.
>>
>>4011081
>because if I don’t play up Chujins doubts or make it believable that he’s to the point of running after this kid in the woods in the first place, then it will be more jarring that he’s putting himself through the brambles for this kid.
I should clarify a bit here. When I talk about Chujin seeming too invested, it's not that I don't believe he'd run after Clover. I can believe he'd feel responsible for Clover's fate and the suffering that Ceroba and Kanako would go through, if he failed to save him. Rather, it's some of the self-talk in the narration that creates friction for me.
"Fear struck like lightning as he saw the death sentence for what it was."
"screamed against himself to find a solution, anything within reason to make this right, to live up to someone’s expectation of him for once"
I know this is counterbalanced strongly by Chujin being afraid of Clover, but the seemingly equal fear /for/ Clover keeps nagging at me. It feels father-and-son coded, where I can't quite see Chujin being there yet, with how much Clover is still "the human" in this phase.

I think you could still have some of that without changing much. Say, at the very end, where Chujin is handing Clover over to Ceroba to carry, and he gets a good view of how beat up and worn down he is. Scratched and scraped to hell and already bruising--and some of that was Chujin's doing, unavoidably--and breathing shallowly. And that's where Chujin's heartstrings get yanked. Maybe his arms hang in the air for a second too long, and his throat gets tight. And then you could recontextualize the fear in the early chase as being partially for Clover, rather than of him. Initially horrified at his own caring, it cools into sardonic, self-deprecating humor. Even after all this time, the best lies that Chujin tells are to himself.

>(Spectacles as metaphor for reason/rationality.)
>Stuff is stuff I need some practice to get a grasp on
Maybe some people plan their symbolism and theme from the start, but I usually discover them as I work and/or when it becomes a matter of necessity. I'm very much of the mind that story telling should be as dense as possible, and yeah, that's the kind of the cliche advice that any writing blog could tell you, but I think it can be applied more broadly than it seems at first blush. If you squint, things like theme, symbolism, and other invisible aspects of writing are just a way of compacting information (I think they're more than that, in an almost sacred sense, but lets think of it that way for now.)

I wrote a great deal of Partners without having a theme in mind, and one of the only pre-planned, invisible techniques I employed was during the Wild East where I was foreshadowing the elements of how Clover would kill the Feisty Five. So you can do a lot without having these things in mind from the start, or consciously knowing that you're doing it. But I will say that discovering the theme really helped me handle Starlo and Ceroba's presence in the Steamworks.

>trying to be more productive over the course of a week rather than jamming things out in one night.
You wrote all of that in one sprint? I'm impressed at how cohesive it is given the time frame. But yeah, don't push yourself too hard.

>If you're thinking of it like an anthology, it would be fair to throw a link to the Librarby in the opening segment and give a suggestion to read X, Y, Z works, in whatever order you believe is most effective.
that's a good idea, but taking your advice into consideration, I may either do that, or start from the beginning once I complete the other stories I'm working on. You've made a lot of good points that I can see how I would adjust the story based on.
> My only suggestion would be biting the exposition bullet (and exposition isn't inherently evil, anyways) and having some narration in the beginning where critical elements are covered in a condensed format.
I notice that sometimes, I sabotage myself because I tell myself "I don't want this to be that long" and I try to avoid writing some of the dialogue I think should take place, or the exposition that needs to happen.
One anon mentioned that I might need more "brevity" in the story, but maybe that would be fixed even on a longer story with more exposition, if the pacing felt better.
Of course maybe I don't have to start from the beginning and can just adjust this from some of what you've said, but I'm at this point considering both options.
Of course, it's all a learning experience so thank you again for the detailed feedback.
>I hope I'm making some amount of sense here.
you're making sense, and I'll be honest, I think both reads on chujin are viable. There's a lot of ways you could read the few reactions we do have of him, and it's one of the difficulties when you have a character who's REALLY STRONGLY characterized, but only through a very small amount of overall text you know?
Still, the internal dialogue you've posed to me through these discussions line up very well with how he talks about it being "earned".

>Ah, I think I misread the passage. When I saw "rounding the hill" I thought that was them going along the side of the hill. Rounding does seem to be synonymous with cresting, as a verb, so that's my bad.
well, when I was using the phrase, I was actually worried that "rounding" would not convey the right thing, but I looked it up and found that at least technically it does, but maybe my initial concern was right because, a word can have a literal definition and be technically correct, but still mentally communicate the wrong thing.

>If they are steep, I can't imagine either Clover or Chujin being able to stay upright while sprinting down them,
didn't consider that though, and it's hard for me to reconcile. I was picturing a hill where when clover went over the top of it, from where chujin was he for a moment completely would have lost sight of Clover until he got back up towards the top of the hill himself.
> but since Chujin is diving downward at Clover, and we're presumably not dealing with Twink-Jin, then Clover, a child, is getting smashed into the ground under the weight of a grown ass man.
yes, absolutely. While I don't know how to get to this point since you made a good point about how steep the hill is, other than rewriting the scene, I intend for them both to be injured there. I headcanon chujin being like 7-8 feet tall . It's mentioned in the story, but maybe not clearly there, that Chujin broke his arm in the fall, and Clover isn't in a state of mind to state how he's injured, but now that I think about it, broken ribs might be a much more serious risk for a human in how it could cause internal bleeding. I just mentally didn't address it because "well clover can't tell them how he's hurt lol right?"
I don't consider Chujin "buff" or strong. He mentions I think in the story that he's no athlete, but he's still big, and the dive to me was a relic of how irrational he could think sometimes.
>>
>>4012644
kitsune/chujin form would be the most "advanced" that chujin would do, there is that concept art of a mettaton like axis by one of the concept artists but that is non canon
the artbook also has a ton of concepts where axis was bulkier and more menacing, too bad can't easily share pics now (and too lazy to catbox it)

I think this comes back to me feeling like the relationship has developed a bit more. My very first green was Chujin begrudgingly having Clover over for christmas, and having a layer of that distance stripped away, and pretty much all of my oyajin greens over the last year have had some degree of that, so I think this comes again from me not setting it up enough in this story to be stand alone. Either I should link those others or maybe make this something that can stand on its own two feet (again when I finish other stuff. I have so many story ideas I want to see come to life, and so sometimes what I think is going to be a tiny green, becomes something that I want to make into something bigger. I gotta learn some consistency one day!
But I do see what you're pointing out here.

yeah that's really good. that's the kind of stuff that makes oyajin really good to me, so I'd honestly like to capture that at some point.

there's probably a lot of ways people go about it honestly. It's probably something I'll get a better eye at picking up as I go OR planning for as I improve as a writer. It's just one of those things that viewing it is daunting. On one hand it's scary how much room there is to improve, but on the other hand it's encouraging knowing how much better I can get if I keep at it.
>I'm very much of the mind that story telling should be as dense as possible, and yeah, that's the kind of the cliche advice that any writing blog could tell you
> and yeah, that's the kind of the cliche advice that any
it's useful advice. It's not the only way to tell a story of course, and there's value in being "flowery" if you do it right, but I think when someone is learning, cutting out the chaff and becoming more focused in what they are doing has value, even if you find your style eventually leans on more "extravagance".
>If you squint, things like theme, symbolism, and other invisible aspects of writing are just a way of compacting information (I think they're more than that, in an almost sacred sense, but lets think of it that way for now.)
I get what you're saying. it makes sense.
>I wrote a great deal of Partners without having a theme in mind
I mean hey, pantsing is just as valid too. sometimes you discover things as you go and that's not actually a strictly bad thing in writing of all mediums. It lends itself quite well to that, and like you said, as you go along, eventually you discover that theme and it helps you going forward.
>You wrote all of that in one sprint? I'm impressed at how cohesive it is given the time frame. But yeah, don't push yourself too hard.
yeah I need to practice being more consistent in just letting myself do nightly or daily amounts instead of springing, but with the house falling apart, I basically find that one or two days I can actually sit down and enjoy myself, and just GO

Also, I had been wondering if you were Partners Anon this whole time. Thanks again for taking the time to give me this much feedback. I think I'm one of the only people who have quite this much of a fixation on the whole oyajin thing, so it does help actually getting the stuff I failed at or could have done better pointed out, because while this is self indulgent for me in a way, I do want to improve, and it's one of the longer things I've let myself write in a while. I'm going to try to apply and consider the advice you've given, though as before when you gave me advice on another story, if I fail to apply things or find entirely new ways to stumble, well you already know writing is a learning experience right?

Axis is already close to perfect but it would be pretty funny, and a foil to Mettaton, if Axis's upgraded form came with a visual redesign that his creator thought was an upgrade but Axis considers a downgrade. It would be funnier in DRY's timeline so he could call it shit to Kanako's and Chujin's faces
>>
>>4012669
I mean ANY redesign would be a downgrade from how cool he looks with the cape shawl thing (I'd post that one fanart if we weren't at image limit), but yeah I can see what you mean.
That said, I don't know, would Axis be willing to call it bad to Chujins face? Or would it take someone else noticing that Axis hates it and breaking the news to chujin.
>>
Is there a new thread?
>>
>>4012671
Now that you say it, it would be funnier if Axis pretended to like it, gritting the teeth he only now has in the process, and then ranting to Kanako about how ugly foxes are as soon as Chujin is out of earshot.
>>
>>4012644
I don't Axis would upgrade himself at all. He probably views all of Chujin's work as inherently perfect. So any improved Axis models would be Chujin's idea. Which means it probably wouldn't be an Axis EX, but an Axis 015.

As to what an Axis 015 would look like, probably bigger and with an improved power plant, since powerplant issues have been a perennial problem for the Axis line. Maybe in some alternate universe, instead of doing serum experiments, he built a soul powered Axis robot.

Axis wouldn't upgrade himself but Chujin might consider an upgraded Axis the same model. 014 is special for killing Integrity in UTY's timeline, not sure what makes it special in DRY but I'd think of something
>>
>>4012686
>>4012675
Actually, What would Chujin think of the Buff axis that is in day 2? Axis seemed to like that version a lot at least.
>>
This talk about an upgraded Axis reminds me of that one UTY AU I saw on twitter (I think it was "Hardtale Yellow" or something) that had a super big version of Axis in it.
And also Sub-Zero for some reason.
>>
>>4012686
>Axis wouldn't upgrade himself but Chujin might consider an upgraded Axis the same model.
I could see him retrofitting Axis 014 with upgrades, but that would probably still just be called Axis 014, since Chujin isn't giving his robots cool anime names. At most it would be Axis 014 Mod 1, or Axis 014 rev 1, since those would be more applicable titles for a revised version of an existing model.

>not sure what makes it special in DRY but I'd think of something
In the game that version of Axis we see is his idealized version of Axis, the machine he always wanted to build, but never managed to. Presumably there were 13 prototypes or designs before it that never went anywhere. The darkner is specifically based off the scale model on Kanako's desk.
>>
>>4012689
I know what you're talking about, It's been showing up again lately too suddenly. The creator indeed has an interesting fixation on sub zero.
>>
>>4012688
Its probably based on some old pencil sketch design he has shoved in a corner in his workshop somewhere, so I imagine he would approve. The entirety of Robotopia (with the notable exception foo the villains) is supposed to be Chujin's idea of a perfect world. Everything runs on time, everyone is judged purely by intellectual merit, safety procedures are ignored when the obstruct progress, everyone respects him for the genius he is, and all of his designs work just as planned.
>>
>>4012691
To his credit, Sub-Zero is really cool, it's just a bit weird to put him in a UTY AU like that.
>>
>>4012693
If I had a nickel for every time sub zero was worked into something he had no place in, I'd actually have quite a lot of nickels. He seems to not just live rent free, but receive payment for living in many peoples heads online.
>>4012692
Maybe Buff axis could make a brief return at some point, or be a power up that Axis could use at certain points in the story in some way?
>>
>>4012666
Is this actually possible to happen in game?
>>
>>4012671
Axis would never call any of Chujin's designs bad to his face.
>>
>>4012678
He hates having legs and fingers. They're too fragile and serve no purpose for a robot like him, apart from making him look similar to an inferior organic meatbag. He wouldn't even think of how this could taken as an insult to Chujin, since he would never make the connection between his his new form and his creator looking similar.

Maybe 014 is Chujin's ideal, but after he sees Axis in Chapter 2 he starts brainstorming again, and his ideas are just very different than they were a decade ago. Chujin surprises Axis with it in an optional cutscene. If Chujin ever comes back to the Dark World he could drag Axis away excitedly and work on him for a moment, if not he could design the specs for it and Kanako could take it to the Dark Jail, where it turns into Tem Ray's special part from Gundam and automatically "upgrades" Axis upon contact. Axis wears it for a bit, pretending to be grateful and using new portraits for the Dark Jail cutscenes, but upon the party exiting the jail yanks out the part and stomps on it while tripping his profanity filter repeatedly.
>one chapter later Chujin has even more design notes

Kanako tosses the paper in the bin and the paper somehow gets moved and becomes an NPC in the next Dark World that Cole and Kanako have to ditch

>>4012712
Maybe this improved Axis model darkner, which exists as its own thing, becomes this sort of obnoxious tagalong that they keep ditching throughout the chapter. But then later on, it proves itself by sacrificing itself for them, earning their respect.
>>
>>4012725
The Darkner is the trash can Kanako threw the paper into, and the special part that was the paper combined with the trash can into one greater form. You can recruit it and Axis Model 014 becomes tsundere for it, unwilling to profess his love

No, I was thinking it'd be a jealous older brother type of situation.
>>

I can see that, but only if Kanako quietly ripped the later design notes in half and only one hand made it to the Dark World. Axis 015, or Axis Mini as 014 insists on calling it, is short and has the base of the trash can for legs, and clumsily hops everywhere at a pace way too slow for the party. His firepower outclassed Axis and that's what makes Axis jealous despite the obvious design flaw

Don't give that crappy movie value it doesn't deserve by picturing the robots from I, Robot as anything like in the adaptation. Asimov's robots were either laboring hunks of metal with big chassis and stiff movements, if they were even humanoid in shape, OR were advanced enough to have realistic-looking synthetic skin and either only be distinguished by a lack of emotion in the face or so advanced that even facial expressions were replicated and you had to cut them open or put them in conflict with one of the Laws of Robotics to prove they weren't human. The film of that name was an unrelated sci-fi script edited to add some characters from the original stories because the suits thought a recognizable name would make it sell better.

>>
>>4012840
The problem is that that's not really what's happening there, in the same sense that you couldn't go up to Toriel and Asgore with Flowey and say "Hey, Asriel's back!".
It's not *him*, it's just a piece of him, his dust that landed on a flower and was brought to life through DT, it's at *most* half of him, depending on how you consider the Soul/Body split to work specifically.
It's the same thing with the PC Chujin. Whatever it's made out of, his dust, his soul, whatever, it's not all of him, there's a gap in continuity and in "wholeness", and we know for a fact that that matters, since Flowey lacking a soul is what turned him into a psychopath that was willing to kill people on a whim to get what he wants.
Is PC Chujin going to go down that path if he exists like this for long enough? Becoming a detached lunatic who literally lacks the capacity to feel anything for his loved ones?
If that's the case, what do you do about that?
Euthanize him? Force him to exist without what made him whole before, trapped in a PC, unable to really feel or do anything?
And what about when Ceroba dies of old age, if she chose to stay with him?
What's he do now, stay like that forever, or does someone come along with a hammer and smash him?
There is no easy answer to this, just a whole lot of "depends".

I could and would. Against his wishes, if need be.

I'd consider it to be him

>Is PC Chujin going to go down that path if he exists like this for long enough? Becoming a detached lunatic who literally lacks the capacity to feel anything for his loved ones?
I don't think that can be assumed. Further inquiry into the matter would be needed, and regardless of if he can or not, Ceroba deserves to know.

>Euthanize him? Force him to exist without what made him whole before, trapped in a PC, unable to really feel or do anything?
And what about when Ceroba dies of old age, if she chose to stay with him?
I feel like I'd leave that up to Ceroba and what remains of Chujin. That feels like a call that other people shouldn't be making. At least not unless he's causing direct harm to others. And if he is, then the decision between harm prevention and euthenasia would again depend on his and Ceroba's decision. If he would rather die than be kept in protective custody and Ceroba agrees, then maybe we should pull the plug. If not, then maybe keep him plugged in.

I think that's unnecessarily cruel to all parties involved, especially since Flowey and "Asriel" don't even seem to consider themselves to be the same person, based on some of their dialogues.

I think it's just an animate fragment of him, rather than him in his entirety, in the same sense that Roxas isn't Sora.
>I don't think that can be assumed. Further inquiry into the matter would be needed, and regardless of if he can or not, Ceroba deserves to know.
And I said I'd tell her, but my point is that, what exactly am I leaving her with here?
And what about Chujin's own opinion?
What if *he* doesn't want Ceroba to know of his existence?
What if he understands what he is, and asks for termination, without Ceroba ever knowing about him, for the sake of saving her from further heartache of having to watch him die again?
Does he not get a say?
If that's the case, then how are you not minimizing his own agency as the person you consider him to be?
You're turning him into a possession, not a person.
>At least not unless he's causing direct harm to others. And if he is, then the decision between harm prevention and euthenasia would again depend on his and Ceroba's decision.

I think its absolutely necessary, and wouldn't be nearly as cruel as you think it would be. Asriel seems to hate himself and want to punish himself, hence the need to view his current self as a different person from who he once was.

>I think it's just an animate fragment of him
I would consider a fragment to still be him. At least one that size.

> without Ceroba ever knowing about him, for the sake of saving her from further heartache of having to watch him die again?
Why should he alone decide what's best for her? How does he know with absolute certainty what's best for her? What if she doesn't want what's best for her? The only way we can make things fair for her is to tell her so she can join in the decision making process, which she has a right, as his wife, to be a part of.

>If that's the case, then how are you not minimizing his own agency as the person you consider him to be?
>You're turning him into a possession, not a person.
He has agency, but as Ceroba's husband he's just as much her possession as he is his own person, and vice versa. Marriage is giving yourself fully to your spouse, and having them do the same, so you co own each other. Ceroba has a right to know.

>f he's causing harm to other people, the line's already drawn, and he's well past it.
Yeah, but you don't just execute mentally ill people because they're a danger to themselves and others. That's not right, they can't help that. That's basically what Chujin would have there, is a severe mental illness. So normally, you put them in a position where they can cause no harm to others, and where no harm can be brought to them. While euthanasia is saved for very extreme cases.
>>

We've talked about cucking Cole with Kanako X Sadie, but I think you could provide a similar dynamic to Suselle if you pair Kanako with Melody. Kanako is the girl next door childhood friend and Melody is the mean girl who doesn't fit into the group. We've started DRY with the hero and the girl next door entering a Dark World together rather than the hero and the mean girl, but we could still pivot into Kanako revealing she secretly wants to be bullied by Melody and put them on, I dunno, a horse and carriage ride in the Starlo's Office Dark World.
>>
>>4012860
>Asriel seems to hate himself and want to punish himself, hence the need to view his current self as a different person from who he once was.
I think in the case of Asriel not wanting to be brought to his parents, it's moreso about him being a unfeeling murderer who doesn't want his parents to see what's become of him because that would be horrific for the both of them, being forced to live with the knowledge that their son is alive as a heartless being who's killed them multiple times before and actively wishes for death on several occasions.
You know, a bit more complicated than "I don't deserve to see them again" or something.
>I would consider a fragment to still be him. At least one that size.
Okay, so what if there was another piece of him around, it's own being, separate from the PC? Is that also "him", or is it another entity?
We know souls and bodies can exist without each other in certain contexts, so this situation isn't inherently impossible.
What happens when there's a fork?
>The only way we can make things fair for her is to tell her so she can join in the decision making process, which she has a right, as his wife, to be a part of.
Sometimes it's not about what's fair.
It just depends on the circumstance.
>Ceroba has a right to know.
And I said as much before.
>So normally, you put them in a position where they can cause no harm to others, and where no harm can be brought to them. While euthanasia is saved for very extreme cases.
So, if he wants to die, but Ceroba doesn't, we keep him in agony forever against his will?
He doesn't get the deciding vote in whether his own existence gets to be terminated, he's a prisoner of someone else's authority?

I don't know what this is even about at this point, and I'm past caring, since this is old ground anyway.
And I didn't even get answers to my initial questions in the /v/, so I don't really care to keep justifying my positions here either.

Again, hates himself and what he is. He despises everything about himself, which feeds into his desire to not see people and not be seen by people. Its both a punishment and a protection, likely equating the two due to his self hatred, making him go for an extreme solution like that rather than trying to work anything out.

> Is that also "him"
Yes,

>What happens when there's a fork?
Well first Ceroba and the other portion of Chujin should be informed of that piece's existence. Then ideally, you'd try to put the two pieces back together.

>Sometimes it's not about what's fair.
In this case it is. I know I would never forgive someone if they kept something like this from me, and a decision like that was made without my input, especially if it was "for my own good",

>So, if he wants to die, but Ceroba doesn't, we keep him in agony forever against his will?
Is he in agony? Have we established that? If he is, I don't think pulling the plug is my call to make. I would probably try to work towards fixing the agony part of things without killing him.

>And I didn't even get answers to my initial questions in the /v/,
Which ones?

Those were about if Chujin came back after anon had been in a relationship for a while. Well first of all, I wouldn't be making decisions for people in a relationship I wasn't a part of. But lets say I'm in the position of anon here, so I can give an answer on what I would do. I think I'd leave. I couldn't in good conscience stay in a relationship knowing I was taking another man's wife.

And if a child was involved. I don't think I could answer that one. Even in the situation, I'd probably just break down. That's two of my core principles clashing against each other.
>>
>>4012868
>making him go for an extreme solution like that rather than trying to work anything out.
And what exactly is there to work out?
He still can't feel anything like he used to, and thanks to his time manipulation, he may genuinely be *older* than his own parents in terms of actual conscious experience, so it's not like he can just go back to being their son even if he wanted to.
>Then ideally, you'd try to put the two pieces back together.
And what if you can't?
What if they can't be merged in any meaningful way?
What if Alphys experimented on two flowers and created two Floweys by accident? They're flowers, it's not like they can just be merged together like that, they're two physical objects, that doesn't work like that.
>In this case it is. I know I would never forgive someone if they kept something like this from me, and a decision like that was made without my input, especially if it was "for my own good",
Then you have your own answer.
>Is he in agony? Have we established that?
Flowey certainly didn't seem to be having a good time past a certain point, and now Chujin's in the same boat, only without any of the control.
That eats away at you.
>I would probably try to work towards fixing the agony part of things without killing him.
And if he simply doesn't want to exist?
If there's no two ways about it, he just wants to die?
>>
>>4012872
>I think I'd leave. I couldn't in good conscience stay in a relationship knowing I was taking another man's wife.
And what if Ceroba doesn't want you to go?
What if she's unwilling to throw away everything she's built with you, for a man she never would've expected to re-enter her life?
What if Chujin wants you gone, but she doesn't?
You'd leave her to be with a man who actively chose to drive a wedge between her and someone she loved, just to get back what was "his"?
And yeah, that doesn't even touch on the topic of if there are children involved, children who may not have ever even known Chujin before.
You don't need to answer all of these questions, but I think being asked them serves to illustrate my grander point here.
You have your answers to them, or you don't, and I have the same.
There really isn't much more to discuss here, we've been here before.
>>
>>4012873
>And what exactly is there to work out?
Well first of all
>He still can't feel anything like he used to
I think he feels more than he realizes. He gets pretty emotional in Undertale, even outside of the scenes where he has the souls. He seems to feel genuine care towards who he thinks is Chara in the genocide route, and despair when he realizes that person doesn't care about him at all. Maybe that can be worked through. There are plenty of sociopaths who live reasonably normal lives.

Maybe we could even try getting him a soul. People die every day, maybe someone with a terminally ill body would be willing to be a donor.

>And what if you can't?
Well the next best thing would be keeping them in the same place and having them share the things that are both of theirs. Unless of course, one or both of them isn't interested in having those things anymore. (that still doesn't mean one gets to be a secret half though, people are still getting told about them)

>they're two physical objects, that doesn't work like that.
You can graft plants together. Maybe that would work. Or maybe there's a way to transfer the essence over from physical object to another. I figure its worth looking into.

>Then you have your own answer.
And we can't have Ceroba's answer until we tell her.

>Flowey certainly didn't seem to be having a good time past a certain point
I think a lot of that was him being a child suddenly given time god powers, while being trapped in a confined space full of predictable people. The lack of control (or the lack of absolute control) is a good thing here. Fear of consequence is a good substitute for empathy in those who lack it. A lot of sociopaths wouldn't feel bad about killing someone, but also wouldn't do it because its a really bad idea.

I think Chujin could live a reasonably happy life with Ceroba. Especially considering he still feels enough love to miss her.

(hit the character limit)
>>
>>4012873
>If there's no two ways about it, he just wants to die?
I wouldn't kill him. I wouldn't stop him from killing himself, but I wouldn't kill him.

It feels like we've kind of moved past the original premise though. In that, Compujin was actively trying to contact Ceroba to be with her again. So he seemingly wanted to live and to live with her.
>>
>>4012876
>And what if Ceroba doesn't want you to go?
Its not about giving her back to Chujin, its about not being an adulterer. I don't want to take another man's wife. If she wants to leave him, I can't stop that. But I won't be the thief that takes her.

>You'd leave her to be with a man who actively chose to drive a wedge between her and someone she loved, just to get back what was "his"?
She doesn't have to go back to him, but I'm not keeping her. I couldn't in good conscience do that.

>You have your answers to them, or you don't, and I have the same.
>There really isn't much more to discuss here, we've been here before.
I don't think I quite get your meaning, but if you don't want to discuss the topic further, that's fine.
>>
>>4012877
>He seems to feel genuine care towards who he thinks is Chara in the genocide route, and despair when he realizes that person doesn't care about him at all.
Only because he's tying those things back to things that directly threaten his own existence, or because he's gotten so damned bored that he just wants to kill everyone with someone who he thinks is his old friend. Outside of that, he doesn't seem to feel much.
>Maybe we could even try getting him a soul. People die every day, maybe someone with a terminally ill body would be willing to be a donor.
A single human soul wouldn't do much for him, six of the things didn't even fix him. It took the power of seven human souls just to get him to be a normal person again, and even that took a lot of fighting to accomplish.
The souls seemed to be a separate thing from himself when he had any less than seven of them, and god knows we can't trust him with that power for long as Flowey.
>Well the next best thing would be keeping them in the same place and having them share the things that are both of theirs.
There's no way they could live the same lives at the same time.
We know for a fact they'd have distinct conscious experiences, based on how the split is observed to work in UT, but also, because people don't treat people like that, that's just not how people work.
Twins exist, and they can still be pretty different from each other, and they get treated different too.
>And we can't have Ceroba's answer until we tell her.
And you wanted my answer, and I gave it to you.
Really, do you actually want my answer on things, or do you want me to agree to yours?
Because I can tell you right now that that's not going to happen.
>Fear of consequence is a good substitute for empathy in those who lack it. A lot of sociopaths wouldn't feel bad about killing someone, but also wouldn't do it because its a really bad idea.
Yeah, and that's also not who Chujin was.
Again, this thing, even if there's continuity, isn't *him*.
>>
>>4012873
Oh, and I didn't mean any of this discussion as a personal attack. I was just wanting to discuss a hypothetical involving a character and to see how my stand in the scenario. Best wishes to you, anon, and thanks for the well thought out replies.
>>
>>4012880
>She doesn't have to go back to him, but I'm not keeping her. I couldn't in good conscience do that.
So in the end, you'd leave her with nothing.
Fascinating, really.
Profoundly cruel, but still, quite fascinating.
>I don't think I quite get your meaning, but if you don't want to discuss the topic further, that's fine.
Look, my point is, you wanted an answer on something, I said it depends, and then things spiraled from there.
So, you want me to be thorough?
If he asked me to kill him, and never tell Ceroba, I would.
I'd smash him to pieces and say there was an accident.
If he wanted me to tell her about him, I would.
If he wanted Ceroba to himself, I'd stand my ground, but adhere to Ceroba's decision on the matter, and if that means she stays with him, I'd adhere to it.
And if she chose me over him, I'm taking that. Maybe that's selfish, but it's her choice, and my choice, and that overrules his choice.
Those are my answers.
>>
>>4012881
>Only because he's tying those things back to things that directly threaten his own existence, or because he's gotten so damned bored that he just wants to kill everyone with someone who he thinks is his old friend. Outside of that, he doesn't seem to feel much.
I disagree, I think there was genuine care and love in there, even if only a little.

>A single human soul wouldn't do much for him
The point is just to get him a little bit of empathy. That's better than nothing.

> and even that took a lot of fighting to accomplish.
Because he didn't want to be one at the time, didn't even know he could. He does now.

>Twins exist, and they can still be pretty different from each other, and they get treated different too.
These aren't twins though, these are two instances of the same person.

>Really, do you actually want my answer on things, or do you want me to agree to yours?
I still don't quite understand your answer beyond a broad "it depends" and some extreme cases where it would be no, don't tell her. What I'm mainly trying to find is at what point it would be a yes, I'd tell her. The rest of this argument has just been tangents from that.

>Yeah, and that's also not who Chujin was.
Well lets say you got shot in the head by a an evil guy in a checkered suit, and lost your sense of empathy in the process. I'd still consider that to be you, just you but broken. I'd say the same about myself if I got Phineas Gauged. And that's why I say Compujin is still Chujin.

And all of this is assuming Compujin is emotionless like Flowey, which may not be the case, and wasn't implied in the original concept.
>>
>>4012882
It's fine, it just got a bit aggravating past a certain point.
Also, to add on to what I said in my last reply there, that applies to me too, I'm not exempt.
For all the talk I do about dying for a greater good, if I was with Ceroba, or Reynault, or any other character, and I wound up getting myself killed, and got brought back to life after they moved on and found someone else, I wouldn't just demand they throw away everything just to give me a second chance to not die this time.
Yeah, I'd certainly like to be back with them, but that's their choice to make.
Otherwise, how would it be fair to them, and to the person they moved on with, to expect them to cater to just me?
I dug my grave already, literally, so there choices come first, and if that means whoever I was with isn't going to be with me anymore, than that's that, I'll just go back to being dead.
They had no reason to expect I would ever be not dead again, so I have no reason to expect them to act like they should've seen this coming.
>>
>>4012884
>So in the end, you'd leave her with nothing
I leave her with the option of Chujin, which she's free to take or refuse.

>Profoundly cruel
I'd consider the situation to be cruel. It forces me into a set of choices which are all cruel in some way and which all feel wrong and force me to go against my principles. Its a no win scenario. So in the end all I could settle for was the smallest loss, which was the one that breaks my principles the least. I know I would be hurting myself and Roba there, but taking another man's wife is just such an evil thing to do. I genuinely wouldn't be able to live with the guilt of it.

>So, you want me to be thorough?
Thank you anon. Sorry for making this more convoluted and confusing that it had to be, that's all I wanted.
>>
>>4012885
>Well lets say you got shot in the head by a an evil guy in a checkered suit, and lost your sense of empathy in the process. I'd still consider that to be you, just you but broken. I'd say the same about myself if I got Phineas Gauged. And that's why I say Compujin is still Chujin.
That's not quite it.
Okay, let me give you a real-world example, as best as we've got.
Let's say you, or someone, whoever, goes to the hospital, and gets a corpus callosotomy.
If you're unfamiliar, that is a medical procedure used to treat extreme cases of epilepsy by splitting the two hemispheres of the brain down the middle, entirely separating them.
People who have undergone this procedure have demonstrated behavior akin to effectively being two different people, with each half of the separated brain acting independently from the other, causing erratic behavior not seen in normal people.
So, what if you took someone who had undergone this procedure, and managed to give each half of the brain it's own body to control, ignoring the obvious literal neurological issues with that?
Which one's the real one?
Which one's the original?
Really, it should either be "neither" or "both", but the point is, neither one is "broken", they're both just component pieces of each other. Two halves, that make one whole.
That's the body and soul in UT, that's what we're talking about. Neither piece on its own is the original, but it didn't come from nowhere either, it's just a part of a greater whole.
>>
>>4012892
I'd call them both halves of him, and therefore they're both him. And in the case of Chujin or Flowey, where there's only one part left, that part wins by default and becomes the real him.

Its sorta like Byzantium becoming the real Rome after the Western empire fell. Although I suppose you wouldn't consider Byzantium to be Rome either, so its probably a moot point to use that as an example.

This may just be a philosophical difference with no resolution to it.
>>
>>4012889
>I leave her with the option of Chujin, which she's free to take or refuse.
But you're taking away the option for her to be with you.
>I know I would be hurting myself and Roba there, but taking another man's wife is just such an evil thing to do. I genuinely wouldn't be able to live with the guilt of it.
Well, the phrase is "'till death do us part", so as far as I see it, he's not her husband anymore.
And if she's moved on and gotten with someone else, I think she feels about the same, even if she wouldn't be so blunt about it.
But fine, if you insist.
>Thank you anon. Sorry for making this more convoluted and confusing that it had to be, that's all I wanted.
Well, now that we've established that, fine.
If you have anything you want to say to those other two posts of mine, you can reply as you wish, and I might reply back if I've anything to add.
>>
>>4012886
Honestly same. I don't know if I'd have the selflessness to not want her back, but I wouldn't really have a leg to stand on arguing to get her back. I'd probably just KMS too.

Like if I were the guy from Castaway. Honestly either just rope or go back to the island. No point in living a new life, that just doesn't appeal.

>I'd call them both halves of him, and therefore they're both him.
Decent answer.
>And in the case of Chujin or Flowey, where there's only one part left, that part wins by default and becomes the real him.
I think I'd go with the more pessimistic answer of "they're what's left".
>Its sorta like Byzantium becoming the real Rome after the Western empire fell. Although I suppose you wouldn't consider Byzantium to be Rome either, so its probably a moot point to use that as an example.
You are correct in that I don't consider Byzantium to be Rome, but also the rules I have for what I think makes a country itself are way more specific than yours are if I had to bet, so the national angle isn't a good one here.
I consider some nations to not be the same as themselves based on policy change, I don't see nations as static, cohesive things to start with.
For example, the Russian Federation is not the Soviet Union which wasn't the Russian Empire.
>This may just be a philosophical difference with no resolution to it.
Probably.
Or, at least until Toby decides to give us a massive lore dump on exactly how consciousness works in UTDR, which I doubt will ever happen.
>>
>>4012897
>But you're taking away the option for her to be with you.
I don't have a choice there. I can't take another man's wife. I just can't. Something about it just feels so fundamentally wrong. Not that abandoning someone I love, who loves me, doesn't feel wrong too. But forcing someone to sit and watch as the love that's rightfully theirs is taken by me just feels sickening.

>Well, the phrase is "'till death do us part", so as far as I see it,
To me, death always seemed too small of a barrier to get in the way of a bond that strong. Of course, I'm not going to tell people they should remain alone forever after their partner dies or participate in viking funerals, but I think I would want to be alone, and I see virtue in that. That's why I like Roba so much as a character, I view her as a very virtuous woman, who's worst sins come from the same place as her virtues, her undying loyalty.

Just an interesting difference in philosophy I suppose.

This is actually giving me some good ideas for drama though. Some honor bound and virtue driven man abandoning his love because "it is not his to take", with his lover desperately pleading with him about how cruel what he's doing is, asking if he really wants her to go back to that man. Of course, he replies that he doesn't want that, but he simply can not take a love which is not his, even if it kills him to do so.

Real romantic novel stuff

>>4012899
>Honestly same. I don't know if I'd have the selflessness to not want her back, but I wouldn't really have a leg to stand on arguing to get her back. I'd probably just KMS too.
It's not about selflessness or selfishness, it's just how you feel.
If, from your perspective, you just woke up once you were alive again after you first died, basically no time has passed in your eyes, so of course you want to be with the person who, as far as you last checked, was your wife.
It's not wrong to feel that way, and yeah, I agree that this situation or any situation similar to it would be unfair for everyone involved, but decisions still have to be made.
Myself?
I'm not even sure how hard I'd argue for it.
If she only recently just moved on, and it was only for a few months, I'd make my case, but if it was years I spent dead, and she had already moved well on, had children, then that's out of the question.
It sucks, and I would be extremely unhappy about it, but at least my grave's still where I left it.

I wouldn't count on that solving it. I'm perfectly willing to and have a history ignoring or outright contradicting canon if I disagree with what it says. I already reject the concept of plantners, and everything in the streams, so I'm already a UT/DR heretic.
>>
>>4012909
why do you reject Plantners?
>>
>>4012905
I didn't even think about it being instantaneous. If I really did just wake up one day, and it had been years, my wife had married another man, and had kids with him. I'd probably just lose it, crash out, and do a bunch of unreasonable shit. That's the kind of thing that breaks a man.

I'm not even saying any of that would be right, just that its the sort of thing that would drive a man insane.
>>
>>4012910
I just think its arbitrary and contributes nothing. There's no practical difference between plantners and darkners apart from the number of colors in their talk sprites. Its not even like plants universally become plantners, since all the other plant darkners are just that, darkners.
>>
>>4012903
>But forcing someone to sit and watch as the love that's rightfully theirs is taken by me just feels sickening.
Suppose that's just another difference between us.
>To me, death always seemed too small of a barrier to get in the way of a bond that strong.
Ah, you know, I remember some threads ago when I said my love for Reynault would live forever, and someone, maybe you, maybe someone else, said that such a sentiment is a waste, and that my love would be as dead as I was.
Can't say it doesn't fit though. Better not die if I want to keep him around, or at least not die for long.
>but I think I would want to be alone, and I see virtue in that.
I can respect that.
>That's why I like Roba so much as a character, I view her as a very virtuous woman, who's worst sins come from the same place as her virtues, her undying loyalty.
Ah, this.
See, I don't think it was with you, but I know I've spoken on this before, sometime last year.
To keep things short, while I can see where you're coming from, I disagree. I think she could very well move on to someone new after the events of UTY's pacifist route, and her no longer chasing Chujin's legacy could be the first step in that.
Not gonna say that's what absolutely *would* happen with her, just that I think the door's open.
>This is actually giving me some good ideas for drama though.

Different anon here, it does seem arbitrary if not for all the hints that Ralsei might be a plantner. If he is then the distinction is important and several odd attributes to the character like traveling between Dark Worlds can be easily explained.

>>4012911
>That's the kind of thing that breaks a man.
>I'm not even saying any of that would be right, just that its the sort of thing that would drive a man insane.
Oh yeah no, I get that completely, I think I'd go completely insane too.
Hey, depending on what kind of world it is (and how far things progressed in your absence), maybe going briefly insane is just what'll get the love of your life back.
Devotion, and whatnot, something like that.
>>
>>4012913
>said that such a sentiment is a waste, and that my love would be as dead as I was.
That was what Reynault would say. I am not Reynault, and have many differing views on subjects compared to him.

>. I think she could very well move on to someone new after the events of UTY's pacifist route, and her no longer chasing Chujin's legacy could be the first step in that.
First of all, that was multiple people, one of which was me. Second of all, I generally agree that she could do that sort of thing. I was just saying that greatly respect the loyalty she shows even beyond death. Like the fact that she was loyal to Chujin, even though he's dead and gone, is greatly admirable.

>Ah, christ, that one felt like a vampire being exposed to sunlight.
Damn, that was a throwaway line too. I didn't put proper prose or characterization into it.

>but god, why did reading that hurt so much?
Its drama, its supposed to do that.

>I'll never understand that.
That is, again, the point. The reader would fall into one of two camps. Either he views things from the woman's perspective and doesn't understand why the man is doing this, just seeing him as an illogical fool destroying both their lives over some nonsense about a personal code. Or they see it from the man's perspective and feel genuine despair knowing this is what he *has* to do.
>>
>>4012914
It makes plausible sense, sure, but it doesn't add anything. It changes nothing with its presence in the story.
>>4012915
Maybe, but unless they do reveal that, then its still just pointless. And even then, could've just had plant darkners still be darkners but have that trait. Or have Ralsei's special status be from something else like prophecy role, or being an object that fits in everywhere, or from being made of pure darkness, or from being from the castle dark fountain.
>>
>>4012915
if ralsei is a plantner it makes more sense he is ROOTS so he is literally ingrained in hometown's soil, so he can go anywhere
personally I believe he is either one really old tree or the entire forest, with kris' old headband buried and snagged on the roots
>>
>>4012919
>That was what Reynault would say. I am not Reynault, and have many differing views on subjects compared to him.
I figured as much.
I do wonder what I'd have to do to win him back if I came back from the dead though, but maybe it's a non-starter.
>I was just saying that greatly respect the loyalty she shows even beyond death. Like the fact that she was loyal to Chujin, even though he's dead and gone, is greatly admirable.
Admirable, maybe, but I think she could've stood to look where she was going before nearly chasing his legacy off a cliff.
God, I feel like I should apologize to her for saying that, somehow.
>Damn, that was a throwaway line too. I didn't put proper prose or characterization into it.
Ah, guess I'm just a sucker for things that are designed to hurt.
>That is, again, the point. The reader would fall into one of two camps.
No, I get the idea well and good, I was just expressing that I don't understand how it did that to me all of a sudden.
Just another oddity.

>>4012916
>maybe going briefly insane is just what'll get the love of your life back.
To me it sounds like the kind of thing that'd get you in the news headlines and an unmarked grave in some remote cemetery to prevent vandalism.

Unless your love is also insane. But that's a different vibe from what we've been talking about.
>>
>>4012923

Yeah, probably.
Oh well.
Not my choice, hands are tied.
>>
>>4012920
I think it's also important, maybe, in the context of bringing them over from Asgore's shop. They're delicate and only alive because of extremely delicate care, and if they died then it would be like Kris or Susie dying; they wouldn't just continue existing as Darkners (dust Darkners aside since that's already been explained as having very specific circumstances). They're LIKE Lightners in that respect, but they lack a soul and need the dark fountain to express their will the way a Darkner would. They're Lightners with the bodies of Darkners, in a way.
>>
>>4012922
>I do wonder what I'd have to do to win him back if I came back from the dead though, but maybe it's a non-starter.
Maybe just be around. He's not one for grudges unless he has an ever present reason to detest a person (like disliking their personality) and he is one to have a good time when the opportunity presents itself. If someone he liked came back from the dead, why look a gift horse in the mouth?

>but I think she could've stood to look where she was going before nearly chasing his legacy off a cliff
Absolutely. She may be loyal, but she's also really dumb sometimes.

>God, I feel like I should apologize to her for saying that, somehow.
You can apologize, but she'd probably tell you you're right, which is a bad thing because now she feels awful.

>I don't understand how it did that to me all of a sudden.
Its a really good scenario for drama
>>
>>4012925
I think them being darkners would've sufficed for that. Flowers still need sunlight, water, and soil. If you leave them in a dark room they will die, and no amount of pretend magic will fix that. Darkners can already die, and when they die, their real world object is broken. A flower wilting and dying would count as it being broken.
>>
>>4012928
I think you could write them like that, but it wouldn't be the same. For one thing, you can repair the objects, like what happened with Tenna. For another, would a dead flower that's fully intact not be eligible to be an object—that is, something that could become a Darkner? There are many ways to preserve a flower, even something as simple as pressing it, to make it valuable to people. I think them being alive is actually important here, and a dead golden flower would become a different being than Flowery if brought to a Dark World.
>>
>>4012926
>Maybe just be around.
Well, yes, but if he's already gotten on with someone else, I imagine it'd take more than that.
>he is one to have a good time when the opportunity presents itself. If someone he liked came back from the dead, why look a gift horse in the mouth?
Hm, fair enough, I'd certainly like to keep having good times with him.
I feel like I wouldn't be able to help but make a joke out of my return somehow though, like pretending I was a mindless zombie trying to eat him, or like I've lost my soul and I've turned evil, or just popping up and pretending nothing happened at all and that it's not super weird that I'm here right now.
See, Joseph Joestar was absolutely funny when he pretended to be DIO brought back to life, no one ever makes jokes out of being resurrected like that when there's so much potential.
Anyway, that's a separate thing.
>Absolutely. She may be loyal, but she's also really dumb sometimes.
I mean, ugh.
I don't want to call her stupid, I don't think that of her, she was just, blinded. She was given a lot of pressure and she didn't know how to handle it, of course things went wrong, I can't hold that against her too much.
>You can apologize, but she'd probably tell you you're right, which is a bad thing because now she feels awful.
Ah, god damnit. I just want to make things better for her, even if I'd have to break the world's bones to do it.
>Its a really good scenario for drama
Yeah, feels like it.
Not to my exact tastes most of the time, but it does work very well, can't deny that.
>>
>>4012930
A dead flower is going to be viewed differently from the live flower it once was. And you can't repair a flower that's died and started to rot. Really, a dead flower would probably just become a corpse in the dark world, just like a broken object that used to be a darkner would just be that darkner's corpse in the dark world.
>>
>>4012931
>Well, yes, but if he's already gotten on with someone else, I imagine it'd take more than that.
Maybe, maybe not. He is French and evil after all.

>like pretending I was a mindless zombie trying to eat him, or like I've lost my soul and I've turned evil
I feel like his response to those would be to join in and play along. He's already quite adept at the "walking corpse" business. As for the evil, maybe he'd just be happy you've finally come around to his way of thinking and are ready to have some real fun (or maybe he's just calling your bluff to turn the joke back on you)

>To me, death always seemed too small of a barrier to get in the way of a bond that strong. Of course, I'm not going to tell people they should remain alone forever after their partner dies or participate in viking funerals, but I think I would want to be alone, and I see virtue in that.
That's perfectly understandable, and there are many who think the exact same way. It's generally to the benefit of themselves and any potential partners due to the possibility of comparison dragging down a relationship. Theologically, there's good reason why permission is given to remarry even when monogamy is taken very seriously, like in the Bible, and that's because while romantic love is one of the most sublime things to experience in life it's inferior to the point of irrelevancy to what comes afterwards. (Matt. 22: 23-32)
>This is actually giving me some good ideas for drama though. Some honor bound and virtue driven man abandoning his love because "it is not his to take", with his lover desperately pleading with him about how cruel what he's doing is, asking if he really wants her to go back to that man. Of course, he replies that he doesn't want that, but he simply can not take a love which is not his, even if it kills him to do so.
I love story ideas like this. Mull this over a few months and fill out story details until you can start writing it properly.

>I think she could very well move on to someone new after the events of UTY's pacifist route, and her no longer chasing Chujin's legacy could be the first step in that.
Maybe but she explains she doesn't know anybody she could love, and Starlo is too childlike in his outlook for her now.

>Maybe, maybe not. He is French and evil after all.
Some would call that statement redundant.
>I feel like his response to those would be to join in and play along. He's already quite adept at the "walking corpse" business.
Mm, fair point.
Still, I do like the idea of taking this once-in-a-lifetime chance to try and scare him if I could manage it, or even just get a little jump out of him.
Probably not though.
>As for the evil, maybe he'd just be happy you've finally come around to his way of thinking and are ready to have some real fun (or maybe he's just calling your bluff to turn the joke back on you)
Ah yeah, damn.
I was kinda thinking maybe I'd really try and play it up, like the second I'm alive again I grab him by the throat and start laughing like a maniac while doing my best evil/insane grin, but that'd require some very specific circumstances to pull off.
Oh well, guess I'll have to return from the dead like a normal person.

>>4012936
>Maybe but she explains she doesn't know anybody she could love, and Starlo is too childlike in his outlook for her now.
If we could still post images here, I'd have posted that image of an anon dropping out of the sky to be with her.

>>4012936
>and that's because while romantic love is one of the most sublime things to experience in life it's inferior to the point of irrelevancy to what comes afterwards. (Matt. 22: 23-32)
I don't argue with it being irrelevant in the afterlife, but I think the reason remarrying was not only allowed but often enforced in the Bible were purely practical. People needed supporting, bloodlines needed continuing, inheritances needed keeping.

> Mull this over a few months and fill out story details until you can start writing it properly.
I could probably do it in a few days if I set my mind to it, but I'm busy as is. I've already got a million creative endeavors to finish before I can start another story.

>ve, and Starlo is too childlike in his outlook for her now.
Doesn't she say that maybe he has the right idea right after saying that though? Or something to that effect? It seems like her experiences with Chujin and Kanako may have made her soften up to his more whimsical view of the world, even if only because the grass seems greener than the side she's on.

>>
>>4012940
Aww, darn, I wanted to spook him just a bit.
Well, I'd be happy if he at least got something out of it, though I have no idea how I'd segue out of that bit.

>>4012943
Well maybe you did spook him and its just really hard to tell the "stress response" laugh apart from the "having fun" laugh. Its pretty hard to tell with him sometimes.

>>4012933
So do you agree that this aspect of the flower, not being able to be repaired the way Tenna does, does give it some separation from normal Darkners? Because I don't think it's plot-crucial that they're different barring a potential Ralsei twist, but it does seem like the way things are explained they can't just be normal Darkners.
While it's on my mind, I think the plant thing also matters for Flowery's meta powers. I think, and this is just my headcanon for now, that all living objects can mess with the rules, both Lightners and plantners, but plantners' similarities to Darkners gives them some kind of meta knowledge that Kris and Susie don't yet know about; if they learned they could just start ignoring the abilities of Darkners, like the Knight (who may be fucked up in some horrible way but who exists in some capacity in the Light World). Once Lightners do this and break their suspension of disbelief, however, the Dark World stops working in some way, and that's why Ralsei is so careful about not breaking kayfabe.
>>
>>4012944
Right, good point.
I don't think I could stop acting insane for just a moment to ask if he's scared or not, so I guess I'd just have to get really good at reading him beforehand.
I am now thinking of him very subtly showing that he's relieved I haven't actually gone mad or that I'm not actually trying to kill him though, like the moment I set him down he lets out a small sigh of relief.
I also imagine there'd be payback, but I'm willing to accept such a thing from him.
Anywho-
>>
>>4012948
>So do you agree that this aspect of the flower, not being able to be repaired the way Tenna does, does give it some separation from normal Darkners?
no, because not all objects can be repaired. If you burn a book, there's no un burning it. Or in Tenna's case, if his tube gets smashed, that's it, there's no fixing that, and he's just dead. A flower dying is like that. Its unfixable damage, this kills the darkner.

>, I think the plant thing also matters for Flowery's meta powers
I think its that Flowery, as a darkner, is 90% emotion, and 10% object. He's basically nothing but hopes and dreams. Of course everything about him is fake. He's nothing but fantasy. The meta stuff is just him power tripping to the max combined with Asgore's schizoness.

It’s a pretty fandom wide problem with how their relationship is portrayed. If Ceroba saw Starlo bullying Chujin like that, she would get pissed off because her tolerance for whatever Star does is lower
>>
Also decided to read the Kanacole NSFW (https://rentry.co/x93cywzf) and this is the reason why I review the threads unreasonably late at night.
>Kanako's perspective
Most smut here focuses on the male perspective. This is a welcome change of pace.
>description of Kanako's domestic life
Very well done and I like how each character shows emotion. Cole covering for her with a half-truth was also great.
>timing
The necklace implies this is during DRY's first day, but the ritual implies that they've been making out for a while. Obviously there's a canonicity conflict because she hasn't even kissed him yet in the game, Cole's "jokes" about hanging out alone in the closet aside. This isn't a serious nitpick; I like consummation scenes and they are better done when not rushed but are built from prior encounters, and the amount of buildup to get here would take a whole novella.
>Bunbun's innocence
Cute little detail
>emotional scene
Her delayed freakout over nearly dying, on top of all the other stress, feels very natural. The focus on Foxlace as a plot element and an emotional pivot works really wwll. You didn't overdo the stuttering either.
>Cole being responsible
Also a good reflection of his character. Kanako is hot and impassioned, while Cole is cool and stoic, though he still carries strong feelings within.
Speaking of, while your facial expressions are well done, in the game Kanako is changing them constantly as conversations and situations shift, and that's not reflected to the fullest degree. I can understand why since they can get wordy and tedious if overdone, but there should be more descriptions of her getting flustered. Covering her mouth was a good one.
>compromise
A good solution
The sex scene itself is great as are Cole's deadpan remarks afterwards, followed by the hugging. It's a wonderful break followed by another intimate and realistic scene. Props to all of it; I really do want to write as well as you and will be using this as a reference.
>>
>>4008977
What did you change in the new version?
>>
>>4008977
>>4013093
I will append what I think of Cole's admission to Ceroba since I ran out of characters. His asking for permission for every step of the way with Kanako is unexpected and charming. I know it doesn't fit with the tone of a smutfic, but I would have written her response a little differently to be more in line with what I know of her character.
>She smiles in relief. "That was a very mature choice. Many at your age wouldn't have the self-restraint to hold back on such passion. I know I wouldn't have."
>Cole shifts uncomfortably. "We still want to do it this week. There might not be another chance."
>Ceroba widens her eyes and twists her mouth in worry. "I...see." She closes her eyes in a contemplative pause and relaxes. "It's a tall order for any mother, asking for the last of her daughter's innocence."
>"I know...."
>"It's not a unilateral decision on my part, either. Kanako is precious to Chujin, too, and if he found out...." She sighs, and continues. "You know Martlet would also prefer that you 'nested down' first, as she puts it."
>Cole nods solemnly.
>"Do you carry protection?"
>"You mean a gun?"
>She snorts. "No, I mean condoms. They go on your..." she stops suddenly. "You'll figure it out. I’ll sneak you some money on your way out, and you’ll go buy a pack of condoms, first chance you get. I don’t care if it’s embarrassing.”
...
>"This doesn't count as permission, but I can't stop you if you decide to go through with it. If you do, at least wear protection. You might call me Auntie, but I'm DEFINITELY too young to be called 'Obaasan.'"

NTA but I'm a little conflicted on ch5 basically confirming the game's world is just a simulation.

>Most DRY takes out of here were just DR with UTY characters, not their own thing
So like taking Deltarune's plot, symbology and themes but using UTY characters? Kind of lame but I get why that happens
>>4013152
I haven't written down the specifics but I've imagined that the whole "shattering across time and space" thing and the sheer potential and malleability of the deepest dark would've had *minor* space-time complications for normal people beyond the scope or existence of "his DELTARUNE". Like how an earthquake causes a tsunami somewhere else

>>
>>4013158
>So like taking Deltarune's plot, symbology and themes but using UTY characters? Kind of lame but I get why that happens
Pretty much, most commonly it is done by making Flowey take Ralsei's spot, or even adding Papyrus in in place of Sans, or the town being literally hometown or have the same layout (and some even go further to add seam and spamton in)
I've also seen DRY takes that just make Kanako be Susie2.0 where she is a bully for no reason.
But at least one thing pretty much all takes have in common is having Clover and Kanako as the main duo (except like 3, one where it is Chara instead and another where Clover is in a wheelchair and another where Kanako is the protag and has a orange soul kid as her partner)
>>
>>4013159
>Clover is in a wheelchair and another where Kanako is the protag and has a orange soul kid as her partner
Maybe its the influnce from the last thread, but this feels like NTR
>>
>>4013160
It isn't, in the wheelchair take Clover and Kanako are still close there but some INCIDENT caused Clover to be paraplegic/potentially dying? (Clover is also very feminine in this take)
The funny part is both of these takes have a darkner fashioned after Clover as the 3rd party member to accompany Kanako through the dark worlds
>>

so far nothing too bad has happened yet (though gaster simulation theory being potentially real is a risk, but at that point pretty much all fangames are non canon)
>>
>>4013159
To be fair, even DRY1/2 have Melody as the mean girl bully. My NTR shitpost suggestion comparing dynamics was of course a shitpost but taking things seriously for a moment, if it is revealed that Deltarune was supposed to be a Kris+Noelle adventure with Susie as an antagonist (The Dragon who must be vanquished) but things were manipulated to put Susie with Kris in Card Kingdom in an attempt to affect the Prophecy, then suddenly the DRY dynamic retroactively resembles that.

I think we're all rearranging elements around, some are just more creative about it and others put Flowey or Eram in a Ralsei role to keep the party composition as close as possible
>>
>>4013169
the reason why melody is a bully is because of the common headcanon that the blue soul was violent
doubt we will see that as used now after chapter 5
>>
>>4013171
>doubt we will see that as used now after chapter 5
if anything chapter 5 reinforced that with blues demeanor
>>
>>4013171
I don't think anyone but the biggest tumblrites will try to copy Blue. Some souls I could see getting copied (and some souls already somewhat resemble fan interpretations, weaver's 2015 comic had the cyan soul as a small girl who stabbed the shit out of Asgore, these traits are just kind of natural), but even normal people are going to look at Blue and say "what the hell is this"

>>
Someone would like to discuss video games
>>
>>4013158
There's a lot of potential for cosmic horror and other horror genres within a Deltarune fangame, whether it's simulation shenanigans or related to dark worlds themselves. I can easily imagine a "broken" dark world that is dangerous, deficient and devoid of charm resulting from someone in a dark place creating a dark fountain, due to the fountain reflecting the will of its creator. The trick for effective horror is to have a good artstyle and soundtrack as that will carry everything else.
>>4013171
Headcanon? It is canon. What drove Integrity to violence is up to interpreation. I like Melody in DRY because she's an interesting foil to Cole. Both have had troubled childhoods (we know even less about her's than Cole's though), both are raised in a monster-majority town and both have single mothers/guardians who are monsters. The difference is that Cole is stoic, has accepted things as they are, and gets along with the monsters, while Melody is full of rage. It can be difficult to throw in a second human in a DR fangame but she's a good addition.

Yeah it just kind of feels 'right'. Surely he'd understand that even if he loves picking someone apart, he must be mindful of limits so that the pincushion lives to be prodded another day. That he must show a little care if he's going to be possessive.
> I hope your power comes back soon, and that you aren't in any danger from the storm.
Thank you anon. A large piece of debris missed my car so Ive lucked out thankfully.

>But of course, why would he share his chew toy with someone else? The geckering devil would never (I assume)
Well, I'm a strict monogamist, so it's just fine by me.
Plus, he is very selfish, so I don't think it's out of the question that he may want his partner all to himself like that.
Though now I'm just imagining it going to a comical extent, with him yelling "mine!" whenever someone else gets too close to me. He almost certainly wouldn't do *that*, but it's fun to imagine.
>Thank you anon, and I'm not really trying to whine here, sometimes these things happen.
Ah, it's okay, don't feel as if you can't talk about these things every now and then.

Yeah, thinking about the scrimblos is a nice way to deal with some things, huh?
Made a post about thinking about Wiki to try and get through a migraine earlier today in the other thread even.

>yelling "mine!" whenever someone else gets too close to me. He almost certainly wouldn't do *that*, but it's fun to imagine.
Maybe a bit off key for him but I can see the appeal. Makes me think of the whole idea with racter or martlet getting "aggressive" from the preening and chasing people away from you.
I imagine his displays of possessiveness would take on unique forms to himself, maybe him not realizing at first that hes doing something he normally does, for a completely different reason than usual
>Made a post about thinking about Wiki to try and get through a migraine earlier
I can see her being a sweetheart about something like that, going out of her way to cancel something if she can afford to so she can stay around and soothe.
>I imagine in your case you'd be spending time with Martlet during the storm, you mildly annoyed from the power outage, and her being annoyed because she's been instructed not to fly during the hazardous weather.
One of the story ideas i had for that martlet smut I havent managed to make happen, involved plans getting cancelled due to rain a while back, so maybe that will make a come back when i get some other stuff done in the coming weeks.

>I imagine his displays of possessiveness would take on unique forms to himself, maybe him not realizing at first that hes doing something he normally does, for a completely different reason than usual
Yeah, have to wonder what that would look like coming from him. Then again, I don't think he'd display just about any kind of affection in a normal way either.
>I can see her being a sweetheart about something like that, going out of her way to cancel something if she can afford to so she can stay around and soothe.
Yeah, she has a certain presence to her that makes me feel like she would be good for that kind of thing. I was imagining her trying to use healing magic on my head to try and dull the pain, though I'm not sure that would do much if there wasn't technically an injury for it to affect.
>One of the story ideas i had for that martlet smut I havent managed to make happen, involved plans getting cancelled due to rain a while back, so maybe that will make a come back when i get some other stuff done in the coming weeks.
Oh, that could be cool to see when/if you get around to it. It's always nice to see new stuff from you, so I hope things clear up a bit soon enough.
Also, funny you mention smut, I actually started thinking about Martlet and an anon being stuck inside together a bit more when I was making that last reply, and I thought of them both independently saying something like "what are we supposed to do stuck inside with each other in the dark all day?", at which point they both suddenly have an idea for what they could do with each other in the dark while stuck inside all day.

That sounds great, though if youre looking for my input
I think on of the best things in the world is the idea of working my fingers through the ladies fur or feathers depending, and either having her grab onto his hips/lower back because the need is getting too hard to resist, or grabbing his head/working her fingers through his hair and pulling it into her chest as she works her hips/legs because while she's trying to avoid just full on having sex, her body wants it and so she's having trouble fighting it. (The standard anon is of course ambiguously hairless but this is all stream of consciousness here).
As for anons hands, as they are working into the fur, its gotta either be her hips, her back, or the sides of her tummy.

Good stuff anon, like the other anon said, the tufts are nice, but also in the second one I imagine her doing that little "micro bleat" in surprise.
She's a cutie

Maybe she'd convince herself she was brave enough, go to ask him, and start either fumbling all her words as her brain told her to abort mission, or freeze up as she realized she didnt have it in her to ask this after all but its too late to back down.
Maybe cole picks up on what she was asking and helps finish the scene so to speak
>>
>>4013442
shaded eyes under a hat, specially a cowboy one, just looks cool
>>
>>4013442
It's not completely shaded and you can still see his eyes. I interpret that as indicating that Cole is lowkey depressed, which lines up with his descriptions of things and his general attitude. He's already accepted that he's about to lose the one happy spot in his life and doesn't have much hope, with very few things getting him excited anymore.

The plan was already to have the anon's hands on her hips, so that's good.
As for Wiki's hands then, I can see what I can do, but as I plan to have the image done in first-person from the anon's perspective, naturally there is only so much I can do with them while keeping them visible.
I will likely start on this image later tonight, once I have dealt with some other business today.

Yeah thats completely understandable. I didnt figure that everything I was saying would be applicable, and just opted to blast you with the image of everything in my minds eye.

Huh, I think I could see that.
Oddly cozy feeling, being the center of such a thing, as he prepares cruel and unusual things for anyone who would dare try and take his chewtoy from him, as he sees it.
>Sometimes its the thought that counts when youre in agony and someone tries to help
Yeah, her presence at all would be nice, even if the healing magic wouldn't help.
I'm now imagining being in extremely severe pain as she keeps trying to heal me, only for me to weakly grab one of her hands and try and hold it close to me for comfort, as she just tries to soothe me from then on.
I dunno, situations like that make me feel things.
>Oh my I do like that. When thinga get back to normal and I get other things done, this may make an appearance.
Glad you liked it, I thought it was funny.
Kinda reminds me of that one Gameboy Advanced SP ad though, with a man and a woman laying in bed together, the man playing on a Gameboy, with the text "The second best thing to do in the dark".
Maybe that'd work as a comedic de-escalation, Martlet and Anon both just play on their Gameboys, in bed, naked, in the dark.

That's fair, I'll still see what I can do when I get there.

By the way, unrelated, did you ever have the time to get around to reading that weird thing I wrote a while back in this thread, to add it to whichever archive would be most appropriate?
>>
>>4013519
NTA, but why?
>>
>>4013519
what if its slilk instead? from a slimy cow

>>4013521
Because milk helps against sun burns. It's an equivalent of disinfecting a wound with alcohol but for fire monsters.

I guess?
Just seems very particular, but more power to you.

>>4013523
Does it contain lactose?

God, milking is so fucking hot.

>only for me to weakly grab one of her hands and try and hold it close to me for comfort, as she just tries to soothe me from then on.
She's been in some miserable situatuons herself so while she may not be able to relate to the exact pain your feeling, maybe she knows what she wishes other people would do when she was feeling at her own worst. And tries to do just that.
>I dunno, situations like that make me feel things.
Its a nice idea other than the abject agony of course

>>
>>4013528
Bedo finally found a job to escape from neetdom, even if it is a weird one, slilk must have several uses in the underground if they need a milking pump just for her
>>
>>4013529
I think milk is disgusting enough when applied to the skin, the slime would make it even worse
>>
>>4013533
nah, if anything the slime would make it feel like applying some sort of lotion
>>
>>4013532
...If I'm being entirely honest, I was actually picturing her being milked for Anon's own personal usage/enjoyment.
And Bedo's, probably. I feel like she'd start getting horny while having her nipples sucked so intensely.
>>
>>4013531
Because fire monsters get very drunk from lactose
>>
>>4013536
Is it more flammable or something?
>>
>>4013537
Because the can't properly digest it, like with ethanol for humans
>>
>>4013538
I thought "nutrition" for fire elementals would be just anything that burns and they absorb the heat, so the more flammable something is the better
>>
>>4013535
the conversation was about milk from grocery stores, but your idea is hotter
But why isn't anon sucking them himself? seems like a waste
>>
>>4013530
>I've started it, but due to how this weekend went, I havent finished it yet. Sorry to keep you waiting but I promise I'll finish reading it soon and also update the librarby.
Ah, perfectly understandable, real life matters come first.
I do look forward to hearing any thoughts you may have on it, still mostly just out of morbid curiosity to know what others make of the main subject matter, but you get the idea.
>She's been in some miserable situatuons herself so while she may not be able to relate to the exact pain your feeling, maybe she knows what she wishes other people would do when she was feeling at her own worst. And tries to do just that.
Heh, something we can all relate to a little bit, huh?
I think her presence would be comforting enough for me to fall asleep, which is one way of dealing with the pain.
>Its a nice idea other than the abject agony of course
Eh, you get used to it eventually, whether you like it or not.
>Thats funny as hell, but having grown up with the original gameboy that was not backlit, I imagine trying to play those in total darkness, realizing that you cant play gameboy in the dark, and pouncing on eachohter
Ah, maybe Martlet and Anon both thought of the SP ad and tried to do just that, only to realize their Gameboy's aren't actually SP models, so they get busy with each other instead.
Contingencies.
>>
>>4013539
They still eat normal food, but they can digest things that others don't, that's why fire monsters can drink as much alcohol as they can, and still not get drunk
>>
>>4013540
>But why isn't anon sucking them himself? seems like a waste
I *may* have a fetish for women in complex milking setups.
Sucking on them yourself is always a great choice, but there's something about the idea of having her strapped into a milking machine, seeing her breasts wobbling as they're drained (though not getting any smaller, of course), seeing the expression on her face as she tries and fails to keep herself from giving in to the embarrassing (for her) amount of pleasure she's getting from this, while still having *your* hands free to play with her as you wish.
Imagine being able to play with her belly or finger her while she's already out of her mind with pleasure from being milked so hard like that, just imagine.
Sucking her nipples yourself is still good though, especially because you can do it more precisely, and utilize your tongue as well. Also because you get a drink out of it.

There are no non-monster cows underground. Canonically some monsters have to be getting milked.

>>4013575
but can you drink as much monster milk as you want?
>>
>>4013547
I feel like kissing works better if you're milking her by hand, so it's more intimate.
Then again, maybe you could kiss her while her breasts are being drained by milking pumps and while you're fingering her, so you could make out with her after she cums and is too dazed to think, so you can dominate her tongue while you kiss.
>>
>>4013576
Yes, as much as I want, from the tap, from a glass, whatever, I can drink it all.
>>
>>4013577
Sounds like her entire body would be getting stimulated at the same time
>>
>>4013579
Indeed, as planned.
I do wonder how Bedo would respond to me saying I want to do all that to her, I bet it'd be cute. Or she'd suplex me while blushing immensely, probably.
>>
>>4013565
Kek, this is great. I love the detail with the vampire.
>>
>>4013580
imagine she's into it but only admits it after the suplex
>>
>>4013582
Very nice, I do love the idea of her being into whatever weird things I'd want to do with her, but still being very flustered and indignant about it.
>>
Aw fuck, I know I'm about to start on my next Wiki image, but I just had a really vivid idea for tickling Bedo's belly while she's tied up. Kneading her fat, wiggling my fingers in her navel, all while she's trying to berate me as she laughs, like "Yohohou asshohohohole!!!", as I keep playing with her lovely, squishy belly.
My mind's a never-ending trainwreck.
>>
>>4013585
I mean, sometimes you have to go with the inspirations you know?
>>
>>4013586
I do wanna do that now, but I've gotta do what I said I'd do first.
But man, that is going to be one hell of a distracting thought until I can get to it.
I bet Bedo would probably kick my ass if I tickled her like that. Unless I tickled her for long enough so that she was exhausted by the time I stopped...
Wonder how long it would take to break her into submission...
>>
>>4013587
>Wonder how long it would take to break her into submission...

Hey, Oldentale anon, I have a question.
It's not super important for anything, but I can imagine it being spoilery somehow, so let me know if you can't reveal this one, but I just thought I'd ask.
What's Wiki's last name?
It can't be "Dreemurr", since I'm pretty sure Toriel only got that name when she married Asgore, based on the way she speaks to him when she prevents you from fighting him, so I'm curious what you figure her maiden name was.
>>
>>4013599
Not Oldentale anon, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned that there are two boss goat monster families, "Dreemurr" and "Capra"
>>
>>4013600
"Capra", huh?
Interesting.
I'll wait for his "official" input before slotting that into my understanding of things, but that does sound neat.
>>
I wonder if the UTY characters have last names that were never revealed, same for some of the characters around here
>>
>>4013606
Sounds like a good question to ask the devs if they're ever encountered in the wild. It's also possible some don't, considering how many characters in regular Undertale just have one name.
>>
>>4013608
Suprising how no one asked them, I remember people her coming up with a last name for DRY Martlet, it was "Brighton" since that's the name of one of the places related to the heraldic Martlet, I also think someone here suggested "Alucard" as a last name for Dalv, which makes sense.
>>
>>4013609
I think like 3 or 4 names for martlet have come about from around here over time.
Starlo though, is it safe to just go with Sunnyside?
>>
>>4013610
>I think like 3 or 4 names for martlet have come about from around here over time.
Yeah now that you mention it, I think "Moa" is her last name in DRY2 and Valravn is her last name in that one fanfic.
>Starlo though, is it safe to just go with Sunnyside?
Don't see why not, that's the name of the family farm and his dad is already a sun anyway,
>>
>>4013610
It is, but I interpreted that as just the name of the farm, since farmers will give names to their land like Happy Trails or whatever. I came up with Hirondelle for Martlet and Stern for Starlo's family, based on what midwest ancestry each might have. It's all headcanon so there is no wrong answer if it is stupid though we will laugh at it.

I find that people are more willing to freely give last names to secondary characters with less canon presence. See Sadie Junebug and Felix "Gizmo" Bytes in DRY1. They're excellent name choices.
>>
>>4013612
>Don't see why not, that's the name of the family farm and his dad is already a sun anyway,
yeah around here there are a lot of farms named after family names so It feels like it works
though
>>4013613
>since farmers will give names to their land like Happy Trails or whatever.
that's fair as well.
>I came up with Hirondelle for Martlet and Stern for Starlo's family
those are solid as well, though I have to wonder if anyone ever hit starlo with a "Stern talking to" type of pun.
>spoilers
yeah I've been there. Running tabletop and thinking you have a great name for something only for it to get made a table joke for the next 3 years is an inescapable fate.

At this point while there are questions I have for the UTY devs, there are some things that I'd rather they never answer like last names, because I like the mishmash of names people have come up with.
>>
>>4013614
>At this point while there are questions I have for the UTY devs, there are some things that I'd rather they never answer like last names, because I like the mishmash of names people have come up with.

Our thread's gonna get hit by a train no matter what, but if we make a new thread ourselves, we can be sure it'll be our train that hits it, and only it, but if we wait too long, our thread'll get hit by a different train, and then we hit the other thread, and kill them instead.
So basically, I forgot where I was going with this and think we should hit someone with a train.

I have begun work on the Wiki "Polynesian sex" drawing.
Potentially noteworthy how so far, the only two drawings I've made (or begun to make) depicting normal penetrative sex, have been of Oldentale characters. Wonder what that means.
In any event, I must rest soon.

Didn't at one point you say that Luzma was the first scrimblo from these threads you wanted to have penetrative sex with, or something like that?

>I think that was marriage I thought about with her.
is that lower in the scale than having normal sex with the scrimblo?
>>
>>4013735
Depends on how you wish to quantify things.
It's certainly an indicator of a more intense feeling towards her, though I harbor stronger such feelings towards other characters, I merely hadn't considered the idea before her since I was interested in her reactions to things at the time.
