The deltarune anniversary is coming up so I thought it would be a nice thread to make.

Love you Nonny. I'm glad to see this thread and I hope it will get some good contributions. Here's mine: Lots of people remixed Megalovania for UT's 8th anniversary. Vidrel is my personal fave because of the leitmotifs and, despite being a cover by a random guy, to me it feels even more like Toby Fox than the version included in game. It's less intense and more whimsical and I really enjoy listening to it. DAE have favourite songs or remixes to share?

The only thing I can say about Megalovania is that I once was listening to a dubstep remix of it at 12am and then my mom knocked on my room to tell me my dad was dead.

I heard chapter 3 is fully playable now, but it will be released alongside chapters 4 and 5. I'm guessing we'll get them in 5-10 months. I have no basis for this guess, that's just my own assumption. I can't wait honestly because I loved the first two chapters. Anyways, I headcanon Kris as being an awkward autistic girl because I just like that interpretation the most.

I also headcanon Kris as a girl! though I tend to flip flop between using they/he because those are the words the fandom uses the most. Cringe I know but it's hard to get accostumed.

Same, I also headcanon Frisk and Chara as girls. It’s impossible for me to see any of them as male.

>>326537
I headcanon Chara as a girl because it's a feminine name here (spain) and Kris as a boy, because it sounds like Chris, a masculine name here. I don't know for Frisk though. But I just use they for all three of them.

Does anyone have this Tumblr theory that says Chara is the narrator? It's very long and also includes pictures, not just text. I dont remember the OP's blog, I think it was deleted. There are many similar posts out there but I'm specifically looking for that one.

I haven't seen it on Tumblr but I've seen it being discussed in many YouTube videos

>>326423
I headcanon Frisk as a girl, Chara as a boy (because it's the murderous unhinged character kek) and Kris as a boy still because he/she looks like Chara with the shirt.
Also I would have preferred for the chapter to be published separately, but oh well.

>>326625
same, it would encourage more fan discussion and speculation which has been so much fun with deltarune so far!

Who's your favorite character? I love Susie

>>326821
Same, I love Susie! I also really like Noelle. I think Susie is ultimately going to be the "antagonist" to the player, but not to Kris if that makes any sense? Mainly because Susie is the one who usually defies the player's input and acts against the player. I think she's going to oppose the player no matter what route they choose but she won't necessarily be evil. An antagonist but not a villain.

>>326821
Noelle! Super cute design and a really interesting storyline. Her snowgrave arc is my favorite part of the game so far.

>>326821
Kris, with Noelle as a close second. I find the concept that Kris is being controlled by the player and she has her own personality and desires separate from us so fascinating. Especially in the snowgrave route were you have the player manipulating Kris and forcing her to manipulate Noelle. I can’t wait to see how this is explored in the coming chapters.

>>326827

Based nonas. Noelle is best.

>>326822
I wholeheartedly agree with your post, I would love to see it! Specially because Susie is so protective towards Kris. Do you think we'll get to play as the Vessel and Kris will become his own character?

>>331703
I need an explanation of this

>>331703
Wow this is fascinating. Women in fandom are so smart. One thing I love about UTDR is how it subverts genre expectations but still manages to be the greatest RPG of all time. Looking at it through this lens gives it a whole extra layer of subversion. It also helps me to understand why UTDR was an instant hit, as well as how it has been able to support such a large, longlasting (international!) fandom. Undertale truly is a game made by fans for fans.

Which parts do you already understand? What questions do you have?

It's strange to think we'll be celebrating the anniversary of a decade-old game in a year from now. With these newsletters to tide us over, though, I'm not complaining. This one especially had everything: unused concepts, Undertale content, Deltarune sneak peeks, non-canon blue gasterblasters…
Speaking of those Deltarune sneak peeks, anyone else think this preview confirms Seam's warning of a dark world at night? "You don't want to get caught when the sun goes down…" and all.

It's honestly a bit worrying that Deltarune still isn't out. The lead artist Temmie has released multiple games in the gap and still nothing from Toby. I think he's getting suffocated by success.
>Seam's warning
I think that was just alluding to Kris stabbing himself in the chapter 2 ending. It was night at his house.
Btw Undertale Yellow is an amazing fan game if you haven't played it yet nonna.

If that were the case, I think it would have happened around when Undertale was most popular. The way things are, it seems as if he's come to terms with this (by trying to scrub away any traces of his old FWUGRadiation persona) and is using his popularity to meet and work with industry big shots. I believe the main problem lies in the fact that Robert's the financially comfortable "bottleneck" for any game content his friends make. He's basically set with the money and customer trust from his previous game, which gives him much time to decide what should be added and worked on to his literal dream game by his, in all-likelihood, part-time team. Right now, though, with the addition of the Producer, it seems to be going well and they don't have much left.
>I think that was just alluding to Kris stabbing himself in the chapter 2 ending. It was night at his house.
I think you mean Kris stabbing the ground or ripping us out, but you're probably right. There does seem to be an interesting connection between the times when Kris goes soulless and the time of day, so far there's only been one instance of soul-ripping during daytime.
About UTY, it's amazing based on the sheer fact it got finished. It deserves praise just for getting out of the Ruins, yet still managed to be good on its own. It has its faults, I don't remember anyone liking the ending and some parts definitely weren't playtested (I lost hours of my life to that rhythm game in the first version), but it managed to get very close to Undertale's feel, if more visually detailed. Nothing can really top the shock of Omega Flowey, but Yellow's Flowey fight was still very creative with its use of mixed media, even if I wasn't very invested in Martlet and felt like the game was railroading me into betraying him.
