Why is he whipping that slave

It's clearly heavily inspired by Earthbound's "ligne claire" aesthetic. I'll never get why retards pretend that pixel art and only pixel art isn't allowed to be cartoony. It'd be like if you compared Sonic the Hedgehog to Call of Duty or something. If you want to criticize it as bad by that standard go for it, but holy shit stop being such a massive pleb.

>>713220391
Fact Check:

Left looks cleaner and easier on the eyes

>>713220532
Swoon

>>713220439
Again, you're free to criticize it by that standard. Comparing it to le ebin action game for mature adults like myself is fucking stupid though. And believe it or not, some cartoons are also aiming for extreme simplicity, even crudeness as an aesthetic.

That's because Americans lack talent

>>713220747
No, that would be Big Mouth

>>713220532
BREED

>>713220638
This is also ignoring how crude Undertale was as a whole in comparison to Deltarune. For a babby's first game it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

>>713220787
Undertale and Big Mouth are both repulsive to look at.

>>713220886
a non sequitur, nice

>>713220886
Well I sure am glad it was a cheap indie game and that he improved with the spiritual sequel

>>713219852 (OP)
Left will always have more memorable characters than the right.

>>713219852 (OP)
It's pretty simple, that random NES game plays like shit, as did most NES games

>>713219852 (OP)
left was made by a musician, right was made by a team of experienced devs

THIS IS THE THREAD

have a pre-existing fanbase
have a decent story
have decent music
you can neglect art if everything else is great
I still hate bullet hells and jrpgs though

>>713220035
true

>>713219852 (OP)
Left was most likely made up by a single dude after watching a couple of tutorials on youtube on a budget of 15 dollars. Right was made by a team of professionals backed by investor money

>>713219852 (OP)
I kinda is amazing that dispite being rich now the deltarune art isn't more substantial.

>>713221072
Undertale barely counts as a bullet hell, it just happens to have really shitty simplified bullet hell minigames occasionally

>>713221057
This!

>>713221037
It's more about 98% for NES crap

>>713219852 (OP)
so for undertale, the pixelart for the beginning was apparently underdone on purpoohwhy the fuck am I posting on /v/

>>713219852 (OP)
Pixel shit in 2025 just proves to me your game is shit and lazy and you're just trying to ride on nostaligia for 30 year olds.

>>713220638
>crudeness as an aesthetic
Is that a cope for the question "why ugly adult animations so common?"

>>713221167
Makes sense, the NES was a long-running and very popular console so it only makes sense that it would have more shovelware released for it. Doesn't devalue the many good games it has.

>>713219852 (OP)
It's just two different art directions.

>>713221092
Damn, she looks like she needs someone to drink her juice in front of her and throw the empty cup on the ground

>>713221203
I like the aesthetic sue me

>>713221203
I like the aesthetic sue me

>>713221092
The problem with hiring a team after he's already released the start of the game is Toby can't have the art get too much better or else it'll look mismatched with the first two chapters. He has to settle for subtler improvements, like slightly better backgrounds and Kris actually having animations instead of a single static sprite

>>713221092
Jesus fucking CHRIST I cannot stand the fact that I find this pathetic fat lizard so fucking cute. It infuriates me.

>>713221245
There is the fact that many games were intentionally programmed like crap so they would be harder and have more replay value, still, surprises me how many games did hold up after all these years

>>713220969
>>713221027
I don't like media that solely exists for fanartists to mog the creator.

>>713220715
>musician who can't draw or program or make music making a game on his own
ftfy

Do zoomers not think artists were paid and hired to work on game graphics before PSX? Do you think pixel art is easy?

>>713221448
You are brain damaged

I'll tell you one thing and I'm not afraid to say it, my respect for the janitors has just fucking plummeted.

>>713219852 (OP)
this image encapsulates modern /v/ perfectly. Graphics is the only thing that matters, because all anyone does here is look at images and videos, they do not actually play. Their consumption begins and ends with youtube trailers, out of context outrage bait clips on twitters and screencaps.

>>713221092
Did you just ignore the entire last part of chapter 4 or something?

>>713221514
Toby loves the fanartists, though. His works are made for it.

>>713221559
you simply don't understand

>>713219852 (OP)
Left was propped up by trannies/furries, right was not.

>>713221905
No I understand alright.

>>713221763
No. It's fucking great. Problem is it's inconsistent. The main character STILL only have a 2 frame walk animation that double as a run. Just wish he'd hire like a mini team to add stuff like that.

I think I'm gonna play undertale. Should I do pacifist or genocide for the first time?

>>713221092
Exactly how my brain pictured her when I played this game. It's scary how accurate this is.

>>713221380
Toby is strongly influenced by Hussie and he subscribed early to the idea that shitty art keeps expectations low

>>713220638
Home movies looks this way because it was made on MS DOS or some shit with a mouse.

Toby Faux has no excuse with the shit we have today.

>>713222097
pacfist then genocide after for the perfect troll

>>713221092
>>713221269
I got her juice combination correct without even knowing the first time I ran through Chapter 4. Like, what the fuck is up with my brain, man?

>>713222057
Who fucking cares about the walk cycle? The important stuff looks good and the rest gets exactly as much effort as it needs and no more. That's how it should be.

>>713221560
You had any respect for them in the first place?

>>713221763
Kris is bored as shit watching this

>>713222097
Neutral -> Genocide -> True Pacifist for maximum kino.

>>713222057
Funny thing is, he got the new team to make a proper sprinting sprite, it's just cutscene-exclusive. Now Kris's "run" is actually a power-walk. I do appreciate that he has better animations aside from that, though, like the better sliding animation (hopefully Toby goes back and replaces the slide from the first two chapters with the new one). Also Kris getting ragdolled by the prophecy glass is hilarious

>>713222097
The game is strongly designed for you to get the neutral ending, then reload and get the pacifist ending (you can't get Pacifist at first), and then Genocide to see what happens.
But however you like.

>>713219852 (OP)
>we're not a general, says the Undertalefag, as he posts another stealth thread because he can't stand not having a thread up for a few minutes
Why are you morons not satisfied with all the places you can talk about your garbage? Are you being paid to astroturf or something?

>>713222124
wut
b is best

>>713221140
>>713222057
Bro just play that one undertale mod made by that guy that got sent to prison

>>713221560
to have a melty like that? it's a fuckin disgrace

>>713222257
nta, but I'll do like a near genocide route first time round, beat Sans, then go the pacifist route.

Like full redemption grind.

>>713222352
You can't get the true pacifist ending at first? Damn, that's kinda lame. I wouldn't mind finishing one pacifist run, then going straight into genocide, but won't a somewhat pacist and a true pacifist run be mostly the same?

>>713222469
>>713221560
Project Moon, whatever happened there.

>>713219852 (OP)
Story telling and music play a huge part as well.

>>713222469
You want compromise? How about this: seven fuckin' years, I wanted the complete game. I compromised. I played edgy AU fangames.

>>713222159
You act like Home Movies was made in the 80s. They obviously made the conscious decision to make it look that way, and he made the conscious decision to make Undertale look. I just don't get why people can't understand this, but only for pixel art.
I think it has to do with it being old media, by digital standards. People think old = bad, so obviously new things should be better than old things. But there were artists working on all that old shit. Could you make a game that even looks as good as Donkey Kong?

>>713222574
You can do pacifist for everything up until the end, it just makes you see the neutral ending first. Then you can go back, do the extra stuff, and get the pacifist ending without replaying the whole game.
Basically it lets you get all three endings by just going pacifist->genocide or vice versa.

>>713221057
It's not Athe thread until the doe gets raped

>>713222363
I'm pretty sure all the threads that are paid to stay in this board actually do stay in it, but you know that, tranny janny.

>>713222363
starting to think that it's some fag falseflagging because I refuse to believe that there are people this fucking dense

>>713222725
Its classic bump bait

>>713222706
Oh, I see. I thought you had to replay everything.

>>713222363
The hilarious part to me is that the jannies are so paranoid that even genuine schizos like the Toby plagiarism guy will get his threads autosaged because they perceive it as a stealth thread

RudyKnight believers be like

>>713222874
It's either Rudy or Carol, it's not Dess, and anyone who think it's her, is retarded.

>>713221092
Sleeper build ahh lizard

>>713223041
carol is not left handed
dess is left handed
the knight is left handed

>>713223041
Could be some corrupted, incomplete summon of Dess, like the melted Monster Soul hearts in Undertale, making some amalgamation. Like tainted ash.

But yeah, I'm open to it being Carol too, not sure why it'd be Rudy, soo far all of the male characters have been either evil, jokes, dumb or pussies. I highly doubt Toby would ever toss out Rudy being a badass.

>>713223214
you're just proving that anon's point

This is going to run into the same problem Homestuck did. Too many variables to wrap up in an satisfying way at the end, AND there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Undertale was simple, but it was cohesive because it was mostly run by one dude. Now the credits are significantly longer.

>>713221763
like here. smallbu is fantastic but i can't help but wonder how much of the wait was caused by toby being picky vs waiting on all of his contractors to finish. hussie got held up by this man named abortedslunk a few times because he insisted on taking forever on art that didnt' match the style anyway

>already autosaged
Not big shot behivour mr janny

I REFUSE to post on /vg/
I just won't.

>>713223725

>>713223725
weirdos there already want my dick pic

>>713223725
Feels like the gayest thread on the site and that's really saying something.

Remember guys, if you really don’t want to use the schizochamber that is /vg/ then we’ve got /vrpg/

>>713224117
I'll be honest, I forgot most /v/alkan boards existed

>>713223398
>Could be some corrupted, incomplete summon of Dess
My theory is that Kris merged his soul with Dess as she was dying, making her a soul fusion like we heard about in Undertale with Asriel/Chara. That's why Kris has our soul instead of his own, and Dess is so unreasonably strong.

>>713224237
Same, especially because they just got randomly added for no real reason

>>713222607
limbusfags deserved it

>>713224006
>/vg/ is full of gachafags, SEAniggers and unironic schizophrenics
but that's just /v/ as well
i will not take slander about /vg/ because it's the only place on this forbidden site where i can talk about factorio

>>713223214
>Carol is not left handed
Source?

>>713224285
yeah, could be a soul merger that went wrong in a desperate attempt to save her. What with the obsession with occult rituals and all, he might even have a thing for Dess and Kris likes Susie because Susie has a similar tomboy style to her.

>>713224117
>threads sit between a week or a month old
Nothing against slow boards but Jesus, what's the fucking point of these alt boards?

>>713224414
I'll admit, the most autistic, gameplay-focused games can have decent generals. The Etrian Odyssey general actually talk about the games and are a great resource for the mechanics.

>>713224414
I know the feeling, it's the only place I can talk about the 4cc still I hate it, WAY too many gacha generals that should be on /vmg/

I wouldn't mind Deltarune threads getting nuked if the mods were consistent about their rules for banishment. Sometimes new games will have a daily threads up for a year straight and discussion stops naturally other times new releases are instantly deleted on sight for no apparent reason. It's bullshit.

>>713224565
Slower boards let you have a comfier discussion, you get to know your local schizos personally and you can talk about niche subjects without the pressure of having the thread die after 30 minutes
t. posts on /xs/

>>713224648
at bare minimum I wish they’d at least outright say if the threads are banned or not, rather than this odd pussyfooting they’re doing

>>713224643
I've sort of accepted them although I still question why the fuck /vmg/ was made if they're /vg/ territory?? and stopped being bothered by them after they updated page 10 to allow for an insane amount of threads.
I wish they'd have communicated more about it, but I assumed most people would've caught on that somehow threads that don't get replies for 6+ hours don't get 404'd.
As always, everything bad is caused by the lack of transparency and documentation by the eternal jannoid.
