Happy 5th anniversary to DELTARUNE Chapter 1! To celebrate I've drawn a few festive pictures! I'm playing with the idea that Forestgrove is Halloween-themed to match with New Home/The Capital being Christmas-themed.

In case you didn't check your mail or hear the news, we got a cool little Halloween newsletter from Toby last night! I swear to you I had these sketched before the newsletter went out I just planned to post them today because, well, it's Halloween. I'd say it's too bad that we don't have a newsletter too, but also we don't really have anything to report on.

Admittedly I've been a bit behind on OTHERSWAP things because I've been busy with other interests & hobbies, but maybe we'll have something nice by the end of the year! Maybe. It'd be thematically appropriate at least.

As always, feel free to ask us anything about the AU or even just to say hi! With the news that Chapter 3 & 4 are well underway (maybe even releasing sooner than we expected since 5 is getting dropped from this release?!) I hope we get some more info about the Holidays.

Happy Birthday Deltarune ^^

Forget Halloween, this is a much more important holiday lol

Happy Halloween

(And Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Deltarune)

[devicecontact]

As we come up to the deltarune chp 1s 5 year anniversary I’m thinking a lot about how it was presented to us and just how unique of an experience it was to play for the first time.

I didn’t get to play untill like November 1st and didn’t finish it till a little later so I already knew that it was A Video Game and heard a little of the music but not much else. So things like the goner maker? Oh I went into that completely genuine.

Just opening this “survey program” and seeing that warning come on screen and going through it all just! Despite knowing it was a game there was still a bit of hesitance to launch and download it. It was such a fun thing and I am so happy chp 1 came out on Halloween because it has such a specific vibe to me due to that. It’s a very fall type of video game.

SSC 2023 #4 (Undertale: Monochromasis)

Hey guys, Dragon8er here!

Welcome back to the Spooky Skeleton Countdown! A little Halloween tradition I have where I draw 3 different Spooky Sanses in the leadup to Halloween Day each year.

Today, is something a little different. Undertale: Monochromasis, created by me.

Since the comic has started now (give it a read here), I thought I'd give a little tease of Monochrome's new look that he'll get at the end of it. Consider this my sweet treat for all you trick-or-treaters.

Also happy 5th Birthday Deltarune!!

Crazy to think that Chapter 1 is already 5 years old. I would've had something made for this, I even had a project I was working on, but it fell through. I wasn't super happy with it, and honestly? I think I'm feeling a bit of burnout. November's my birth month, so I think I might take it a bit easier than the past few months. Recharge my batteries, y'know?

Don't worry though.

I got at least 1 small project cookin up, also related to Monochromasis.

Until then, this has been Dragon8er, and have a Happy Halloween all! I'll see you Drago-l8er! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Okay many people have not read Toby’s Long Tweet about Delta Rune

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqn3p9 See that URL? It’s the official link. Here is the full transcript copy pasted from the Tweet. I won’t put it under readmore because people tend to scroll past that. Past the break line is Toby’s own words. Deltarune is it’s own world. It’s NOT related to Undertale. This is exactly what he said in point 1 of his post. It’s also something he had worked for 7 years (earliest file was 2012). This game was more difficult to make compared to Undertale. Toby also doesn’t know when he’ll ever finish Deltatune. That’s why he released this demo to share with us. I cannot stress how important it is to be patient with the artist/author and let them do whatever they want. If Toby wants to create something new, LET HIM! Trust the Dog that he’ll make something interesting! Repeat TLDR: Deltarune is NOT Undertale!!! No matter how many similarities they have, they are NOT the same. Insisting that it’s the same will just rob you of enjoyment. It’s all in the first question. Scroll down for the rest of the transcript.

Here are my thoughts on Ch 1 of Deltarune. This should answer some questions.

It's October 4th. The DEMO (first chapter) of my game is supposed to come out on Halloween. Actually it was done a little while ago but I'm waiting for the translation to be finished. I feel like I should address what I think people will think before the game comes out. Of course, if I'm all wrong about this, then I just wasted my time, but... QUESTIONS I PREDICT PEOPLE HAVE 1. "Is this a sequel? What's going on?? I'm scared..." Please don't worry too much about that. Actually, I'm worried if people worry too much about "what it is," they might not be able to properly enjoy it... (laugh) I will say that basically, what you're seeing here is not the world of UNDERTALE. UNDERTALE's world and ending are the same as however you left them. If everyone was happy in your ending, the people in the UNDERTALE world will still be happy. So, please don't worry about those characters, and that world. It will remain untouched. To rephrase that, DELTARUNE's world is a different one. With different characters, that have lived different lives. A whole new story will happen... I don't know what you call this kind of game. It's just a game you can play after you complete UNDERTALE, if you want to. That's all. 2. "I have questions I want to ask about the story..." There's a lot of questions I'd like to answer, too. That's why I have to make the game. Please wait until then. 3. "When will the next chapter come out?" This is a difficult question. When I made the demo of UNDERTALE, I made it to prove to myself that it was possible to make a whole game alone (with some help with the art). Because I was able to make it in a few months, I felt that I had proved that it was possible. However, making the demo of DELTARUNE... took a few years. So, given the length of the rest of the game, and how long I'd be willing to spend on a project (7 years maximum) I think the answer is that it's actually impossible to make this game. Lots of things make this game harder to make than the last time. - The graphics are much more complicated and don't play to my strengths (black and white battle graphics were easy...) - The battle system is much more complicated due to multiple characters (I'll write about this later) - The overworld and other sections are more complicated due to multiple characters - Having multiple main characters is much harder to write especially introducing everyone properly in chapter 1 - The entire town had to be created correctly on the first try to set up properly for the rest of the game And further things outside of those: - Trouble starting tasks/concentrating and general difficulty paying attention - Travelling / other responsibilities like translation/ports - Self-doubt / burnout regarding the creation of the game Essentially it's not possible to make this game as one person (and Temmie). However, it MIGHT be possible to create the game if I'm able to make a team. So I'm going to try making a team. Because I really want to make this. But I may not be able to succeed because I have no experience successfully directing a team and I have no idea who I'm going to work with. Since I haven't started assembling the team yet I have absolutely no estimation of its completion. It could take up to 999 years depending on the efficiency level. By the way, I currently plan to release all of the chapters at once after we complete them. I'm not sure how long that will take. You'll buy all of the chapters at once as one purchase. That'll be the only option. I'm not doing pre-orders because I don't like those. It just seems like the best way not to burn anybody. Price is unknown. It depends on how long the game is, and how much it costs to make... I don't know anything about what consoles, etc. it'll come out for because by the time it comes out we might be on Playstation 14 or something. So... in short, I have no idea. 4. "Is this the game's final design? Will you change anything?" It's possible I could change things. This is basically a demo. I might even change this first chapter before release depending on how development goes. This is really an excuse to talk about the parts I think had issues. THE BATTLE SYSTEM: I think the battle system could be explained better. I had a super duper long explanation of things here but really it boils down to: 1. UT's system is incompatible with multiple party members but I wanted to do it anyway because it's cool 2. I'd like to make it so for pacifist players, characters won't have to "defend" so much Oh. The people who tested the game thought that the TP system and animations were cool so it's not all bad. By the way, did you notice that getting close to bullets makes enemy attacks end faster? It doesn't work for every attack, but... EVERYTHING ELSE: I thought everything else was OK. Actually some parts were kind of lazy, like finding the key pieces, but oh well. The UI had some things that could be changed too. When making a game, there's so much to do you have to draw the line somewhere. That's why I need other people to help me (laugh) Oh, and I have no plans to add more content to the first chapter. 5. "Will there be multiple endings?" No. No matter what you do the ending will be the same. (Honestly most games are like that, but for some reason it feels really oppressive to say here...) I think that's part of the reason why the ACT / FIGHT system feels so vestigial in this one. Oh... I'm just talking about the battle system again... 6. "I found some kind of bug, will you fix it?" Hopefully an e-mail for that exists on the website by now. Or, it would be better if you could tweet it with #deltarunebug . That would really help us and make our lives easier because tweets are easier to ignore than e-mails 7. "Can I be on the team?" I'll ask you first!!! (Total silence) 8. "What's the progress on the rest of the game so far?" 0%!!! Nothing!!! I've done nothing!!! I mean, I've done some songs and written the whole story, but... Since no programming or final art has been done, it's best to just think of it at 0%. 9. "Will you do a Kickstarter?" I still haven't finished that damn Alarm Clock, are you kidding me? There's no way I'm doing a Kickstarter this time. 10. "The game doesn't work" / "I don't like the game" / "Will there be a version for (platform)?" Because it's a free download I'm surrounded by a forcefield that destroys all complaints and platform requests. There might be more platforms for the DEMO but I don't want to make any promises. (At the very least it'd be nice to do something for the people who bought the game on console.) By the way at the time of writing I haven't even rendered a Mac version whatsoever at all. I hope I can release it... (laugh) 11. "Can I buy the soundtrack for Chapter 1?" Yes! You can buy it at [ http://tobyfox.bandcamp.com ] And other forms of distribution will be in the works too. I'm writing this in the past so I don't know what I just said. 12. "Any closing remarks?" (No one asks this, but...) Thanks for playing my game. I hope you liked it. For the past 3 years I've been waking up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep because I've been thinking about the scenes that happen in the game. Even though so many details are still hazy, I really want to show you the things I've been thinking about. That's really my only reason for making this game. If I don't show you what I'm thinking, I'll lose my mind. (It was actually a totally selfish motivation...) By the way, I was really worried at first about making this. The expectations for my next work would be really high, so high that I knew that no matter what I did, I felt like people would be underwhelmed. If you played "UNDERTALE," I don't think I can make anything that makes you feel "that way" again. However, it's possible I can make something else. It's just something simple but maybe you'll like it. See you in ?? years... OK? Don't forget.

New Years Resolutions

Welcome to 2019! I have multiple resolutions this year because for the first time in, well, ever, I actually kept a resolution and I’m carrying it over for a 2nd year

Donate at least $5 to every charity stream/event. In 2018, I donated over $100 to various charities by doing this, with the lowest I donated being $5 and the highest being however much from the Tasteful Nudes calendar went to charity, and that’s just the online ones since there were charity events I went to in person as well

Work on improving my art, which includes practising poses more regularly, trying some timed drawings and challenging myself to draw a variety of people, which leads into my next one

Have an art schedule. I will stick to drawing every day unless there’s a valid reason I have to skip a day, so each week I will plan ahead with what I will draw each day. I’ll be posting the plan every Monday morning for those interested

This is one I was going to have as a goal, but I feel I need the pressure of a resolution to actually do it; be able to leave the house on my own and actually go somewhere, be it to the shop round the corner, the parks nearby, the zoo or (even bigger challenge) using public transport

Now for goals, which are a little more lenient than resolutions

Commission more artists. I do have at least 3 in mind, but I’m just so nervous and unsure what I even want, but I will do it. In the same kinda area, I also want to support artists more by buying stickers, badges, posters or just donating to their Ko-Fi if they have one

Try to be healthier. This isn’t an exercise thing. This is trying to eat better food, remembering to drink during the day and taking my pills every day as well as actually showering and brushing my teeth since I have a lot of problems taking care of myself

Either get a job or learn to drive. I’d be happy with one of the two because they’re both quite essential (for me anyway) and things I’ve been putting off for a few years now

Fun little extra below: My OCs Resolutions

Atom- to keep working on my experiments and hopefully make some progress with opening a two way, inter-dimensional portal Shade- to work on m-my shyness Summer- to make sure all of my friends have as much PMA as they can have! I have plenty to spare if they’re running low Mortem- to stay alive maybe? Time- to stop the others from treating my like I’ll break at any moment and prove this weird... illness?... isn’t going to stop me just yet Snap- to maybe not attack anyone? I don’t know, I’m not making promises I can’t guarantee I’ll keep Zeal- to corrupt! Api- to stop him corrupting Absence- to learn more sign language. I’m relying on telepathic communication too much Icul- Em revo emag a esohc ENOEMOS esuaceb thgiltops eht ni emit ym evah yllanif ot Look, I didn’t know Deltarune was going to drop on Halloween!
