That said, it’s expected that Chapter 2 will be as short as the first one, with the game not being more than a few hours of gameplay. Those who swapped computers during the three-year gap between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are not required to replay Chapter 1. The game continues after the events of Chapter 1, and it’s not required to play Undertale before checking out Deltarune. However, the only thing that carries over is the items that the player picked up on the way through the game. Players expected this same type of shenanigans from Toby Fox. This made certain sections of the game where save files were tampered with by characters of the game feel like the world was more than just pixels on the screen. Someone had asked about save carrying between games, seeing that Undertale was known for playing around with the files in the player’s computer. On the 6th anniversary of Undertale, Toby Fox played a short snippet of the gameplay from Deltarune Chapter 2. A whole new story will happen…” The game was released on Halloween of 2018, and after three long years of waiting for the next chapter, it’s finally here. “DELTARUNE’s world is a different one, with different characters that have lived different lives. In a Twitlonger by Fox, he explains that the game isn’t taking place in the same world as Undertale and has nothing to do with the original game. Aptly titled, Deltarune, an anagram of Undertale, the game isn’t a sequel to Undertale in any way. This new title expanded upon what Undertale did, changing its combat, adding a story that the player didn’t have a massive part in, and reusing the characters from the previous game.

This would mark one of the few indie games that got representation in the game, aside from Cuphead and Shovel Knight.Īfter the success of Undertale, Toby then moved on to making another game.

Undertale’s popularity is nothing to scoff at, with the game becoming so popular that it’s been ported to consoles, as well as giving Toby the chance to hang out and play against Masahiro Sakurai, with one of the characters, Sans, being included in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate as a Mii costume.

The game is called Undertale, and after a short Kickstarter, it was funded by the same people who had seen Toby grow from working on Rom Hacks & Webcomics. This game changed how players fought enemies, making turn-based RPG titles into action-packed bullet hell, mixed with the ability to spare enemies if enough kindness is shown to them. After these projects honed his skills, he made a game with a spin on the RPG formula. He started out making a hack of the game earthbound and then soon found his way working on the webcomic Homestuck, where around 52 songs can be attributed to him. Toby Fox is a game developer and musician who spent his time inside internet culture for those who aren’t familiar.
