At this point I can't imagine that happening, but sure? I mean. I've seen Homestuck. I don't think you can fumble worse than that.
My problem is that Yellow had a lot. It didn't have *so much*, but it had a lot it could have worked with. But I don't know, the devs just, kinda, focused on the wrong things and missed out the point on other things really hard, like the art direction. It's too clean. Too professional. It needed more genuine, sincere emotion in a lot of it that you can't really get from a bunch of kids aping their favorite indie game, trying to show off.
This is going to sound really weird but. Toby feels like an actual kid making games. A kid with genuine dreams, unpoisoned by irony and cringe. He makes what he wants to make because art is a means of expression where you speak to the world what's in your soul and hope to entertain along the way. It's the culmination of all of his inspirations and the things he likes in a way that's so diluted you can barely figure out what came from where. You don't really get that from Yellow. Yellow feels like Undertale made by someone who was inspired by... Undertale. That's it. It's a simulacrum
