DELTARUNE
Toby Fox was building up to this on Twitter:
https://www.deltarune.com/
(you might need to disable script blocking to download the game)
Deltarune is an anagram of Undertale. Hmmmmmm
NOTE: The page asks you not to spoil things at least for 24 hours if you do try the game on the site. Please follow the same for the thread, and if you must talk about anything, please use the "hidden" tags for it, not just regular spoiler tags. K and thanks!
Gonna try it out right now.

Still stuck at work for one more hour. But once I get home, I'm gonna be all over this like shingles on a skeleton's roof.

Re: DELTARUNE
I'm a little surprised that this demo(? I assume it's a demo...) got a simultaneous release in English and Japanese. I had no idea that Undertale was such a big deal in Japan.

Re: DELTARUNE
That's what uninstallers are supposed to, isn't it? Or does he mean it wipes the parent directory as well?

Re: DELTARUNE
It might mean the parent, but it could mean that if you've installed to the same directory as something else, it might nuke that directory too.
I've been stuck at work all day so haven't had chance to download it - and still won't for the next few hours.

Re: DELTARUNE
Finished it.
Probably need to go back and see what was after the Card Castle password.

Re: DELTARUNE
Holy frick, this thing just kept going. Definitely longer than the demo for the original game. I kept saying "All right, I'll hang it up after the next save" and then... didn't.
Oh, and uh...

Re: DELTARUNE
Reminds me of how BioShock Infinite was kind of a deconstruction on the idea of choices mattering, although that was more of a middle finger to 2K for forcing them to put multiple endings into BioShock in the first place.

Re: DELTARUNE
I... think I finished this? By which I mean I got to the ending, but if it's even anything like the original Undertale demo, that means there's still surely secrets to find. I'll have to spin it up again tomorrow and keep looking.
No matter what, I know I'm looking forward to the full game.

Here's a checklist of things (Not describing how to get them, just saying they exist) to still find if you want one:Fizzbuzz wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 9:08 pmI... think I finished this?

There's probably more still but that's all I've found so far

Re: DELTARUNE
By the way, they never did end up making those tie-in comics that were promised as one of the Kickstarter's stretch goals, did they.

Re: DELTARUNE
There was also going to be an alarm clock, something Toby Fox mentioned on the Undertale blog on Tumblr (which is where I first checked when I heard there was something new coming) over a year ago but hasn't brought up since, from what I can tell. If I had to guess, I'd say he got busy with the PS4 and Switch ports, support for the Japanese localization, and of course this game.

Re: DELTARUNE
I do want to point out, re: your choices not mattering, that one of the very first things Susie says is "Haven't you figured it out yet? Your choices don't matter." There's a lot of tiny bits of dialog underscoring that point.

Re: DELTARUNE
Regarding this game's placement vs. Undertale, I really don't think this can be a prequel. Toriel and Asgore are still broken up, something that happened because she was unhappy with his anger towards humans. Additionally, Gerson (the turtle, shopkeeper in Waterfall) died between Undertale and this game, as evidenced by one of the headstones in the graveyard. The other three are also dedicated to the monsters who became the amalgamates in the True Lab; had this been a prequel, they'd still be alive and Alphys never would have carried out those experiments with the determination extracted from the human souls, much less have come to terms with what happened down there.
Looks like it's been 24 hours now. I wonder how much discussion, speculation, and art we're going to see today?
