Hey I recently got into your comic and I think it’s a really fun read. And since you are sharing all your old plans for the chapters, does mean that the comic is cancelled? Or is getting a reboot of some sort?

So glad you like it!

Yes, the project is essentially scrapped. I don't think I'll ever have the free time to complete it, sadly.

That doesn't mean I won't make any more Deltarune content, but it would take a different form. RIght now I mostly want to get the things in my head out there so that I can move on and stay up to speed with the fandom!

[gonerboy]

I really wanted to include at least Chapter 3's full summary in the first post, but it ended up being over a thousand words long.

That's how much is being cut from the initial summary... It would NOT have fit in the initial post f I went into any more detail!

As a result, the first summary feels very incomplete and random. Hopefully I can finish the others sooner rather than later!

[gonerboy]

Thank you for your continued interest, after all these years!

Hey all! It's been a long time!

Delta Experiment first went on indefinite hiatus when Chapter 2 of Deltarune released. Now, Chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune are out! That's crazy to think about!

I still think about Delta Experiment a lot. (Maybe too much...)

While I was playing through Chapters 3 and 4, it struck me just how many things Delta Experiment correctly predicted (and just how many things I got wrong.) Comparing and contrasting the plans I had made to the finished product has been a very, very interesting experience.

The problem is, I can't really talk about it, because those chapters of Delta Experiment were never released...

So, in honor of Deltarune's newest release (and for the sake of my sanity), I've decided to share the plans of what the future chapters of Delta Experiment were going to be!

I plan on first giving the bare-bones premises of each chapter, and then individually going through one by one and expanding on how certain events and character arcs were going to play out. As I go through, I may also add commentary on how they compare or contrast with the actual release of Deltarune (don't worry, any spoilers would be properly tagged!)

Without any further delay, here's the (very, VERY) simplified outline. Keep in mind, all of these plans were made with only Chapter 1 to go off of!

CHAPTER 3: OUR NEWEST FAMILY MEMBER

In which:

Frisk and "Chris" investigate the skeletons, uncovering the relationships between them (and the fact that Sans, Papyrus and Gaster originally came from another world)

Sans teaches Frisk the ability to sense chroma.

Asriel and Papyrus bond over their struggles with "Chris" and Gaster, resolving to be patient and grow closer as a family.

Sans receives a phone call from his alternate self.

CHAPTER 4: BY ANY OTHER NAME

In which:

"Chris," Frisk and Asriel go to church, learning about the human Saints, the history of the Human-Monster war, the legend of the Angel and the Dark Knight.

"Chris" sleepwalks and trashes the house, blaming it on Asriel and getting them grounded.

"Chris", distraught, sneaks out to meet Asgore and thank him properly for helping them while they were living in the alley.

Asgore, sensing they need advice, tells them the story of him and Toriel's relationship, and how it was a lack of honesty that ultimately destroyed it.

"Chris" decides that they're going to try to be more honest from now on, beginning with their identity. Their real name is Chara.

Chara returns to Toriel, explains the situation, and takes the blame for ruining the house.

Asgore still holds a secret.

The Blue Flower blooms.

CHAPTER 5: BALL GAME

In which:

Human exchange students from the city come to Hometown for an annual ball game. The human kids are mean to the monsters, and the monsters form their own team with Jockington as the leader.

Chara's hatred of humans leads to them assaulting one of the other players, getting taken off of the team.

Noelle bravely scores her first-ever goal. Carol doesn't get to see it.

The monsters lose the game, but they proved themselves to be equals through their perseverance.

The Purple Flower blooms.

CHAPTER 6: TOWN HOLIDAY

In which:

Carol sets up the town carnival.

Chara and Asriel help Noelle to win her bake sale competition by selling more gingerbread than little Muffet's spider cookies.

Noelle, grateful, gives Chara a hug. This surprises them.

Meanwhile, Frisk meets a mysterious monster girl from the city who is in town for the carnival. She wins a deck of cards in a game, but ends up dropping them, so Frisk tries to return them to her.

Frisk follows the girl up the mountain, where they accidentally fall down a hole and end up in the Dark World. They experience the carnival from the perspective of the objects, and become good friends.

Frisk learns the girl's name is "Suzy".

They leave the Dark World, and Suzy leaves, asking them not to forget their friendship. They leave the Jack card with Frisk for assurance.

Suzy has seen too much. She is made to forget.

Chara, Asriel and Frisk reminisce about how they used to be enemies, but are now good friends.

The Green Flower blooms.

Chara lets it slip that their full name is "Chara Knightmer." With that knowledge, Gaster places a phone call...

CHAPTER 7: THE TRIAL

In which:

Chara's biological parents come to bring them home. However, there are some pressing concerns regarding their home life, their life in Hometown, and the jurisdiction of the law.

A trial is held to determine whether Chara will stay in Hometown. Carol will preside.

The Yellow Flower blooms.

CHAPTER 8: AN ENDING

In which:

Your actions have consequences.

CHAPTER 8: ANOTHER ENDING

In which:

The experiment is complete.

[gonerboy]

the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

“If you see her, do not– I repeat, do NOT tell her where I am. Otherwise, she’ll start hounding me for a reading about her missing sheep again. I told her astrology isn’t meant to be used for such matters, but does she seem like the type to take no for an answer? Really… If she wants some help, why not go to the Knights? Or… you know what, why don’t you give her a hand next time you run low on commissions? That’ll keep you occupied for a day. (And it’ll keep her out of my hair, too…)”

◆ Name: Sasha

◆ Title: Snow-Touched Shepherdess

◆ Vision: Cryo

◆ Constellation: Pedum

If the wind should carry the sound of bells to your ears whilst walking near Mondstadt’s northern border, it may be Sasha and her flock of sheep out for a morning stroll.

Tugging at her cape, or each other’s tails, several pairs of hooved feet follow her like lemmings. So long as they stick together, they will be safe from harm – this is Sasha’s constant admonishment.

However, the spirit of freedom calls to beasts of all kinds within Mondstadt, and they are no exception. A fluttering butterfly catches Brigitta’s eye, a Geo Slime challenges Friedrich to a headbutting match, or an especially fragrant pastry draws the attention of Marta while on the street… like clockwork, something inevitably tempts at least one member of the procession to deviate from the path set for them by their ever-cautious guardian.

“Five, six… Wait! Where’s Gretl?!” As Sasha performs a headcount upon returning to the farm, the littlest among them is no longer present. “Ach, that naughty little Frechschaf… Liesl, come with me. Everyone else, stay here if you know what’s good for you. I’ll be back before sundown!”

And thus begins a day of searching and muttered curses. She prepares a strongly worded speech – How many times did she have to tell her not to stray? Did she know how long they spent looking for her? With every moment spent searching, Sasha’s seething only increases, her teeth grinding against one another in preparation to let loose.

However, upon finding the little ball of wool dozing in a field of dandelions, Sasha’s anger begins to melt like the morning frost under the sun. As she makes the long journey back north, a little lamb sleeps peacefully, slung over her shoulder.

After all, the scolding can wait until they’re back home, can’t it?

Hmmm…

AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE.

(Very minor Ch 2 spoilers)

Something I noticed a while ago, but I haven’t seen anyone bring up.

The tweets before Ch 2 dropped said “THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. YOU HAVE DONE EXCELLENTLY TO PERSEVERE.”

Lo and behold…

Keep reading

I needed to draw this headcannon about my favorite joke from the entire franchise.

Also, I want to see little Shadow and Maria just being little gremlin children.
