It's always so funny to me when I see people say things like 'uty will never be undertale!' and list all the things they think it did wrong/inaccurately to the og game. Don't get me wrong I think it's completely valid to not enjoy it for those reasons, but at the same time it's a non-toby fox game that I never felt tried too hard to PRETEND to be a toby fox game, y'know?

There's quite a few things I think it misses the mark on when it comes to canon compliance with undertale, but I don't really mind that tbh (especially when it gave us such a fun fanon take on flowey, which is pretty damn accurate to undertale even if it doesn't make sense with the timeline and even if itd makes him a little too developed by the time frisk falls to make sense). To me, uty is a game that takes place in a world SIMILAR to undertale, by different people, that isn't quite trying to do the same thing. It doesn't have the same soul as undertale sure, but it doesn't need to. Different games serve different purposes and especially w the context of yellow being a completely free project done in fans' time as a labour of love to a game that they enjoyed, I think they did a pretty damn good job.

(again this isn't me throwing shade at people who don't like it, more an excuse for me to get some of my own thoughts out about the game lol)

#xan's thoughts #idk. yellow is a fun project that i like a lot. the bosses are fun the characters are enjoyable and they wrote a damn good flowey #not to mention the music is FANTASTIC #maybe not all the characters have tons of depth or much design variance #but there's TONS of games out there where that's the case and they're so loved #and i think that's mostly only the case bc by nature it's being directly compared with undertale #which is impossible to not do!!!! it's understandable!#but i think that also means it's easier for people to miss the things that belong to yellow and yellow alone #basically my thoughts on this are that i hope we start getting more fangames that are basically undertalelikes #give me similar art styles and ut combat but w new characters in new settings that have nothing to do w utdr #i don't mean like fell or swap or core or dream nightmare piss or whatever but like. original stuff #what's happening on the other side of the world from mt ebott? what other quirky monster and human shenanigans can people think up #it'd be so fun and cool to see. like when people invent new regions for pokemon fangames
