Deltarune thread. It's been one month since the game came out. Did your opinions change during this month? Anything that you liked that you wound up hating it, and vice-versa?

Still irks me that the Snowgrave is written to be almost identical to the main route most of the time.

>>714498196 (OP)
I enjoyed the games, I liked Chapter 3 better than 4. In the month since I've browsed the threads and learned a bunch of autistic made up lore and saved some cute pics of Susie.

All around pretty good time.

>>714498280
Noelle is changing too much for it to justifiably stay the same if she sticks around.

>>714498280
I agree. Genocide was better desu.

I'm going to go read some release threads. I wonder if anyone was brave enough to stay for all the spoilers.

>>714498634
Link anything interesting you find! Should be good for a laugh or two.

>>714498196 (OP)
I think my opinion's stayed the same, but my schizo theorycrafting has definitely improved. That's been fun. On launch I had some theories that I now think are just fuckin' dumb.

Think my hyperfixation's starting to wane, though.

>>714498196 (OP)
I replayed Chapter 3 like 3 times and Chapter 4 I had to restart on the halfway point, the chapters are filled with so much missable stuff that it's kind of getting on my nerves. On the other hand, the boss battles were really good, Tenna, the Mantle holder, the Knight and Jackenstein were very fun boss fights.

I kind of lost interest on the Weird Route though, I don't feel like replaying the game all over again even if I made a second save on Chapter 2 after recruiting Noelle.

>>714498748
I gave up, they suck.

>>714498280
That doesn't surprise me. I mean, it is a wrong save.

>>714498196 (OP)
Anyone have sig's doodle from last night?

Anyone wanna do ut/dr gartic phone?

What the fuck happened to our vessel?

>>714498280
it is mainly noelle focused. I am of the opinion that we aren't corrupting everyone we see, and that it's just funneled onto only Noelle.

Thread's going kinda slow.

So, is Dess the knight or what?

What are some times when Ralsei talks directly to you?

>>714499324
He started making Deltaeunt theory videos on youtube

nerf the knight

Guess I'll suck it up and use the avatarfag thread.
I thought the Mike stuff was pretty cute and funny(not the pedophile kind), I sorta thought it'd just be shitting on the Woody shit and stuff but really in a way it just sort of made it part of the game and it's quite charming. Also enjoyed screaming into the mic honestly kinda wish there was more.

>>714499419
>deltaeunt

>>714499353
Probably.
Is Asgore gonna get his revenge on Sans?

>>714498280
The problem is there was a four year gap for people to speculate and get their expectations really high.

>>714499354
This kinda counts, right?

>>714498280
I mean we knew that chapter 4 wasn't going to have that much Weird Route content to begin with Chapter 5/6 should be where shit hits the fan.

Black ralsei > rockstar ralsei > berdly > your mom > susie > kris > jevil > dess remains > asgore > spamton > tenna > rudy > carol > toriel > noelle > hatless ralsei

Just a list of things I'd fuck from immediately on sight to if drunk enough

>>714498634
Most of the release threads were just people doomposting. Glad I was out there playing the game.

>>714499354
Probably when you talk about taking Noelle to the festival in chapter 3. Kris is supposed to already know that it is a bad idea, he was distancing himself from her all these years, but Ralsei spells it out nonetheless.

>>714499324
In the Goon cave.

Is it true Susie is half human?

>>714499354
Most of the time
It's easier to pick out the times when he talks just to Kris. Main moments for that are talking about Ralsei's face in Ch3 and Ralsei saying he enjoyed hearing Kris play the piano in Ch4

>>714498280
The Weird Route was massively frontloaded. Toby had us mindbreak Noelle, kill Berdly and make her scared shitless of (You), and considering Chapter 3 was going to include Toriel and Undyne, everyone thought that we would be forcing Toriel to do something similar, but it fell flat really hard. It doesn't help that you have to technically play the game twice per route, so at least myself I got burned out, at least Undertale's Genocide was short enough.

>>714499961
no, because Noelle bleeds too(red pixel).

When the full game comes out, I WILL mod the game to include a Ralseix(You) ending. And I WILL commission pixel artists to draw graphic scenes for it.

>>714500106
I'm not sure that was what Gerson had in mind when he was talking about that white pen, but... what the hell, attaboy. follow your dreams

>>714499626
Anything where he's explaining game mechanics. I wonder why he doesn't try communicating to you directly more often. Unless that's against the "rules."

>>714499961
She is, I'm her father.

>>714499353
Threads are slowing down in general.

>>714500486
It's almost friday night so they should peak soon.

>>714500395
>I wonder why he doesn't try communicating to you directly more often. Unless that's against the "rules."
Probably because Kris would kill him for trying - you're sharing a body with someone who very much wants to keep the stolen human SOUL they're using a secret, after all - and Kris doesn't REALLY trust Ralsei until the end of Chapter 4, depending on your choice with the don't smile thing. Really not that much point in risking it, especially if there's going to be an opportunity to really talk later on down the road.

>>714499756
But we know this is a bullshit interpretation of it too because 3 got a few line changes and that's it. No, Sword Route does not count.

>>714498280
>absolute off the rails kino in chapter 3
>"yeah uhhh only 5 lines of dialogue different in chapter 3 lol"
>"also the weird route in chapter 4 is basically 5 minutes at most hehe" (i will forgive this because its a rape scene)
Toby fumbled the bag.

>>714500021
>and considering Chapter 3 was going to include Toriel and Undyne, everyone thought that we would be forcing Toriel to do something similar
This was always really dumb if you thought about it from a gameplay standpoint
>Toby would make new sprites, stat spreads, equipment flavor text dialogue, ACTs, etc. for Toriel but only for 1 chapter (where she hogs spotlight from Susie and/or Ralsei) while also not being considered a "very, very wonderful" character from the naming screen, and it's just repeating formula from Chapter 2

>>714498196 (OP)
Well, it wasn't much of a release, since it's only half of the game. But I enjoyed it. I was entertained all the way through and I'm excited to see where it goes next. With a lot of RPGs I've played, there are many sections where I just get kinda bored, but then power through to the more interesting parts. But Deltarune (so far) is very well paced, and has enough interesting novel ideas to make each chapter feel interesting. If I were to have some small nitpicks, I'd probably say the town sections can feel like they drag on a bit too much, with all the different places and characters to talk to. But those interactions are interesting, so it's more of an issue when trying to replay the game, when you want to interact with everything, because the results of those interactions carry over to the next chapters, and could carry over to the future ones. In chapter 3 I also feel like the lack of saves during the TV rounds could make trying to get S ranks (which are important to get the shadow crystal) frustrating, if you don't manage to get them on the first try.

>>714499354
At the blocks puzzle with the spiky fence in chapter 1, where Ralsei says "use [button] to push blocks", with Susie being confused.

>>714500794
>>Toby would make new sprites, stat spreads, equipment flavor text dialogue, ACTs, etc. for Toriel but only for 1 chapter
Why are you pretending Toby doesn't have an absurd amount of resources for spriting/coding
This isn't Undertale

>>714500753
>No, Sword Route does not count.
Yes it does. Cope.

>>714500395
Because (You) are still a foreign agent and both Kris and Ralsei have their own agenda they don't want you to know about, but it's very likely that he will now open to you more after Chapter 4 if you chose the "It's ok not to smile" option.

>>714500794
in retrospect it's also kind of funny that the leading idea was "Toriel would go apeshit if you let Kris get hurt" when now we know that she's a drunken slob

I find it very funny how all it took was for Toby to recolor a common enemy for people to draw a considerable amount of fanart of them.

>>714501005
>"use [button] to push blocks",
Wait a second. Did Gaster inform him that the soul is going to be controlled from outside through his program interface?

>>714500813
The pacing is what this game really nails.

>>714500794
>This was always really dumb if you thought about it from a gameplay standpoint
The dropped "sneaking" ost had a lost girl motif, so the main consensus was that we would get something.
I would've taken anything, over nothing.

>>714500021
>and considering Chapter 3 was going to include Toriel and Undyne, everyone thought that we would be forcing Toriel to do something similar
Retards did. Retards don't count as people, let alone "everyone." Anyone who expected Undertale characters to have major roles, at least this early in the game, was a retard. The same will happen for everyone who thinks Asgore will actually have a major role instead of a glorified cameo.

>>714501259
I mean... he's litteraly described as a boss, anon.

>>714501259
>he is unaware

>>714501259
>The same will happen for everyone who thinks Asgore will actually have a major role instead of a glorified cameo.
He literally has the final Shadow Crystal, you dumb muppet.

>>714501564
No, he has a Black Shard. That's very different.

>>714501487
>>714501553
Screencap this because I guarantee it'll be played for laughs. The gang will beat some crazy plant-related boss who talks about protecting the master of that world, then they'll gear up expecting an even bigger boss, and it'll just be Asgore saying "oh this was interesting, guess you kids better seal the fountain, don't mind me" without a fight.

>>714501665
Anon, you're trusting patterns again?

>>714500794
>Incredibly specific sprites for one time, or just for fun
Sure, Toby would NEVER do that.
>Toriel's name not being important.
That one's a good argument, but it could've also been countered by saying that a snowgrave type route changes the paradigm.
>Repeating formula
Yeah, this one's just true. Toby was never planning to do episodic chapters.Still fun to think of what could've been, with firegrave or whatever it was called.

>>714501806
Were you referring to >>714501553?

>>714501210
No. I think it's just quirky mechanics of the world. Lancer knows about the buttons, too.

Remember right after release people here were saying the new chapters sucked and the music was bad?

>>714501964
Ralsei also hears the game's soundtrack, too.

Sans? Hero who saved Toriel.

>>714498934
I know that feel, I also had to replay the chapters.
I wish they released just 1 chapter at a time so it would be easier to explore.

>>714502026
Chapters sucked? Debatable, could have been better but they have really good moments, especially the Knight's introduction. Music was bad? That's just crazy talk.

>>714502326
What I wish is that we could be able to go back to previous chapters and grab all of the missable stuff without having to complete the whole thing again, or at least expand Seam's shop so we can buy them later. Chapter 4 is the biggest offender here, there are so many unique items that are very easy to miss.

Admit it, this will be (You) in three Chapters.

Since I'm not a sociopath with no empathy, I already understand that Kris is not an irredeemably evil villain because he hit me with a hockey stick. I trusted in Ralsei and I am trusting in him and I trust that Susie will understand his situation too and we will get a happy ending.

>>714499353
I think so
https://youtu.be/D7sTifuNSj4?si=l4kE2-eZyrM6kinD

>>714502026
I was initially disappointed while playing chapter 3 because the NES sections felt like they took too long, mostly because I went to every corner of the map over and over again to make sure I got the secret stuff. I still think chapter 3 is the weakest chapter in terms of music, but chapter 4 made up for it a thousand times over.
Tenna is great though

>>714502185
Knight being Dess is not really that obvious to most people, though.

I'm starting to think people like Susie more as shipping material rather than her own character.

It's funny to see the comments and seeing everyone go "whoa, nobody's ever seen this before!". They're so far behind our theorycrafting it's endearing

>>714503262
We know, FRIEND.

>>714502905
There's no way he can be an irredeemable villain when it's proven again and again how much he adores Susie, and he's also empathic enough to hug Ralsei and shed tears.

>>714499353
Unless Dess has been living like a hobo out in the woods for years, no. The Knight has to be someone who has easy access to everywhere in town and wouldn't look out of place doing so. It's basically between Carol and Rudy and I'm leaning towards the latter given that thing growing out of the Knight's chest and him dying of cancer.

obviously, why else would toby refuse to have "lost girl" translated if not to hide that it doesn't just mean "lost" as in missing or not knowing where they are but in the sense of "Ruined or destroyed, either physically or morally; past help or hope/Hardened beyond sensibility or recovery; alienated; insensible".

>>714503594
Noele is our self insert, so yes.

Here, for the Krusiefriends.
artist is @meltsmelts

Ralsei is aware of time loop shanenigans, much like Sans was in Undertale. He probably already lived through a version of the prophecy where the player wasn't involved.
(you)r prescence is what gave him hope that things would turn out differently this time, which is why the fact that things seemingly didn't change much by chapter 4 hit him so hard, and also why his town is named after (you).

>>714499613
Even if we assumed Toby wouldn't get ambitious (i.e. more than two routes, twisted sword route etc.) expecting the two routes we did have to be different to each other was sort of a bare minimum to expect.

Even if it was something as simple as Chapter 3 and 4 playing out the same but being filled with creepy moments.

i actually sorta hated chapter three and four - not the content itself but rather the direction that the story is going

chapter three was fucking hilarious but actually did very little to progress what we know - i was suprised that it was just ralsei, susie and kris again and toriel just fucking sleeps through the whole thing, that felt like an annoying cop-out

we get a bit more meat in chapter four with some prophecy stuff but none of that actually answers any questions we had in chapter one and two, and seems to just pile on even MORE cliffhanger questions.

one part that was kickass was the roaring knight reveal and fight, but like, we still dont fkin know who he is or what he wants - I dislike games/books/tv shows that keep secrets to garner interest and push the answers right to the end of the game where it turns out the revelation is a letdown, and i hope deltarune isn't going to end like that

>>714503923
>Even if it was something as simple as Chapter 3 and 4 playing out the same but being filled with creepy moments.
That happens in 4, in the dark world characters definitely notice that something bad is happening to Kris.

I will agree though that it's a huge flaw that nothing changes in 3 but you still have to go through it to proceed with snowgrave.

Reminder that kris isn't saying please don't to noelle. He's saying it to (you). It's also probably the only time the soul appears directly on the right side on the rightward text option instead of in front of it so it stays in the ventilation shaft when you choose that option.

>>714502026

>>714504440

>>714500021
>, everyone thought that we would be forcing Toriel to do something similar,
No. Most of us with a brain already called Toriel having minimal involvement in Chapter 3, >>714501259 is largely right though I think Asgore has the potential to be an exception given the role he's seems to have in the plot so far.
>>714501564

>>714504103
Deltarune is as much a game about the prophecy/freedom (either breaking it, or being unable to break it or something like that) as it is about the characters.
CH3 was, in my opinion, a way for the fun gang to relax in a dark world, for once, when compared to something like chapter 1 or 2, where they're fighting all throughout. It allowed Susie to mess around with Ralsei, and especially to let her have some form of escapism from the first chat they have about darkners not being real. Then, it all comes crashing down when they get a reality check with the knight, and things get real.
We also got a lot of information about Kris' family life, and lots of speculative info on snowgrave from the sword route.
You can't put much more into a chapter without making it bloated, as seen by the third board being cut content.
Also, I don't know if it's been stated, but I have no reason to believe 5, 6 and 7 will be smaller chapters, so I don't understand why people act like Toby has to rush through the mysteries of the game, when they're all probably very connected.
Sorry for the long reply, just felt like typing.

You lost.

Deltarune will have a judgement like Sans, but instead of it being killing monsters, Kris is going to evaluate every single dialog option you've chosen as well as interactions like the minikris scene at the end of sword route.

Good luck!

All he has to do is to play piano for her.

>>714505884

>>714505410
Sans doesn't even really judge you the first time around. He just trusts you to reflect on your actions and encourages you to make peace with what you did.
I'll imagine we'll get something similar with Kris. They'll begin to list off all the things we did under their body, before trailing off and laughing it off with a shrug. Because in the end, it all worked out, didn't it?

>>714502110
Clang clang time

>>714505923
Bullshit, Dess taught him to eat moss and I refuse to accept it's not a canon.

>>714504850
He doesn't appreciate (you) like the other humans.

>>714505884
Kris and Susie do lots of things together without (You)r intervention, such as the juice scene, the snack tray scene, and so on.

Have not and likely will not play DR, but I know enough about the setting and characters that the threads since the last chapters have been funny as hell. Especially people wondering wtf is going on with Toby due to some of the shit he included this time around

>>714503302
What is Toby's problem with Noelle?

>>714498196 (OP)
Anyone else feel like chapter 3 and 4 had way less secrets and easter eggs than before
I used to enjoy finding those but theres barely any
Is toby getting lazy? (Yes)

the levels are undertale in reverse
which means the finale of the game is meeting asriel at the end of the bunker near a bed of flowers

Isn't Noelle's relationship with Susie kinda awful?

Like everytime Noelle mentions her or talks about her it's ONLY from a fetish and kink standpoint, she's only ever displayed sexual interest, zero interest in who Susie is as a person, what's she's going through, what she's truly like. And the little interactions they've had, Noelle has constantly been trying to "play" her trying to get on her good side by putting down Kris and Berdly if she thinks it'll give her good points with her. Getting physical and angry with others if they show the slightest interest in Susie...
All while Susie is being sincere, and herself, and just natural.

It just gives toxic gaslighting vibes.

>>714505943

both things are purposefully placed easter eggs, not really all that crazy when it was the intention

dess knighterfags are the kris knighterfags of the post chapter 3+4 era. Waaaaaaay to confident and arrogant about their flismy at best theory braindead at worst theory and will screech like hell when the new chapters get released. I am yet to see an explanation on
>How dess became a shape shifting creature without using some retarded fancanon like tHe dArKnEsE mOrPheD hER bODy
>The knight's head explicitly being a helmet and the horns being way too long for any holiday to comfortably fit within it. (we see her horns in chapter 3, they aren't the right shape to fit even if they grew)
>Where the hell was she for the better part of a decade? If she was found then why didn't she return to hometown and live with everyone else (Don't say she would look like an abomination because the amalgams in undertale were taken in just fine and it would contradict a major theme of redemption in deltarune for her to be written off for appearance alone. Even ignoring that, bullying the majors daughter is a great way to get ran out of town.)? What reason would she have to cause chaos and hurt her friend Kris? How in the hell did she get so strong? Why did she abandon her sister, leaving her vulnerable for so long?
>If dess is the knight then who is the voice in the code that's lost in the dark?
I can't wait for dess knightfags to suffer the same embarrassment that kris knightfags did before them. These arrogant fucks need to be put in their place. They're no where near as smart as they think they are. Fucking Rudy makes more sense to be the knight than Dess because at least then he would have a reason to sacrifice officer Undyne to (presumably) save Dess.

>>714498196 (OP)
I think chapter 3 will become people’s favourite chapter in time. Once you get past the gameplay being different and you “needing” to get an S rank its quite fun. The mantle games are easily my favourite part of the game so far. And the amount of details in the chapter is actually crazy, there are hourlong videos on it at this point. It’s densest chapter in terms of content by far

>>714505884
Susie and Kris are true best friends, (You) are pretty much the wingman pushing them both together. Kris is hiding stuff from her regarding the Knight and the shelter, but there's no doubt that he really likes her.

>>714504187

>>714506181
Chapter 3 had the most elaborate path to the hidden boss (the mantle) to the point where an anon bitched and whined yesterday when he got filtered by it.
It also had the most elaborate puzzle to get the egg so far.

>>714498196 (OP)
I had a low opinion on Kris ever since chapter 2 with the fandom not really helping in that regards but I was willing to give them a chance in the next chapters. Now my opinion on them is completely below the floor along with their fandom that holds them in absolute adoration.

>>714506208
>>714506324
Why do you fags do this? Just talk about the same shit over and over again

>>714506359
>I can't wait for dess knightfags to suffer the same embarrassment that kris knightfags did before them.
Kris Knighters won, though.

>>714506140
You're missing out, anon. I know it might seem redundant to play through the Chapters yourself when you already have a good idea about what's gonna happen, but there's something you miss if you don't play the game yourself.

>>714506346

Susie doesn't love Kris though, she only has affection because of (you)

>>714506346
About time.

>>714506208
>Throws her entire friendship with Kris under the bus just to look more available for Susie
What the FUCK is wrong with this BITCH?

>>714506359
All of these are just questions that make Dess Knight interesting.
Besides the stupid cinemasins-esque helmet one.

>>714506346
for me, it's ramb

>>714506520
Kris did not make either of the first two chapters fountains, so no.

>>714505707
>The soul is not literally (You) in the game.
Chapter 4 is right there.

>>714506324
>>714506208
WAKE UP BABE, NEW JANNY FALSE FLAG JUST DROPPED!

>>714503243
This is simple storytelling shit. Both the Knight and Dess increase in importance at the same time throughout the chapters. I've watched dozens of streamers play the game and the casual ones get to the rock band scene and go, "Who's Dess? Oh, Noelle has a missing sister or something, right?"

The amount of evidence for Dess being the Knight is overwhelming, but it is absolutely not shit the casual player picks up on, except maybe bits here and there.

>>714506453
The mantle is probably the easiest secret boss to figure out, just get 2 S-Ranks.

It's just retarded dogshit because everything about the mantle game screams "weird route".

>>714505539
>What dating apps does Toriel use?
Ashley Madison

>>714503882
>Kris already had a save file before he got the soul
>it's probably from a previous attempt
I could see it. Going by what the mantle says about Kris, he might have just fought every darnker he saw, which is why on chapter 1 Ralsei encourages you to act instead.

>>714499914
there HAS to be more vessel porn there's no way this is the only fucking thing i see every thread

>>714506537
I'm not the biggest fan of Kris, either, but what the fuck is this cope? Out of all the shit Kris does out of their own volition, most of the actions revolve around Susie in some way. If there's gonna be anything that breaks their friendship, it's gonna be Kris working with the Knight.

Kris Knight was not a red herring it was an intentional twist.
A player going blind without a massive years-long gap will just think Kris is the knight like normal then the plot twist reveals it's someone else but Kris is likely working with them.

>>714503628
For some reason there's a million Japanese vtuber girls who love Undertale but they refuse to play Deltarune.

>>714506346

>>714506520
no but see kris is only working directly with the knight so it doesn't count they got btfo

>>714506537
(You) didn't tell Kris to pour juice down Susie's throat, not to pick her up and use her as a lawnmower.

>>714506628
nta but chapter 3 and chapter 4 both prove it. We have a connection to the soul, but the soul exists without us, and Kris can use it without our connection being present. Otherwise, the TV World fountain would have never been sealed.

>>714506346
deltarune shitposting don't get better than this

>>714506712
>>Kris already had a save file before he got the soul
Toby retconned it out of the game. The latest version only says "EMPTY" when you open the save file dialog for the first time.

>>714506796
I'm going to assume they're just waiting for the full game to come out. I assume that's probably when Deltarune will have it's biggest popularity boom.

>>714503882
I can see the vision. I anticipated ever since ch2.

>>714506359
>>The knight's head explicitly being a helmet and the horns being way too long for any holiday to comfortably fit within it.
The horns are a headband, same as Kris's. She's a human.

>>714506649
>>714506593
It's not supposed to be interesting. The whole point is guessing Knight's identity. Once we do, the game is over, there are no more mysteries left and we can all go home. That's why it can't be Dess, it's too obvious. Toby is well-known for making subversion for the sake of subversion, so he's just going to reveal Knight in the last chapter as the character people guessed the least. Probably milk guy or Terry.

Papyrus still has the chance as the man behind the tree.

>>714507483
True, if that theory is correct I hope Toby pulls it off in a satisfying enough way

>>714506537
Its a combination of the two but retards will act like You have absolutely nothing to do with their friendship. This is why humans in this series are kind of boring to me because they put significantly more weight on what their vessel is doing what they do as players.

>>714507167
>here's a picture of a bat, everyone says that what it is
>erm not me, my eyes are different therefore you are all wrong

>>714507418
it was either drip feed content or make people wait 10 years for the game. and honestly its been fun trying to see where the story will go so I think its fine, most people who haven't played deltarune yet are secondaries who were only interested in undertale as a popular game

gimme some cool wallpaper art

>>714507418
It makes sense when each chapter is roughly the same size as Undertale, in a way we've gotten 5 Undertales so far.

>>714507285
I don't want Susie. I want to wingman Kris into getting together with Susie.

>>714506593
Toby never writes characters who are evil for the sake of being evil. King, Spamton, Jevil, Queen, Tenna all have a reason for their evil actions. Even ERAM helps you out by giving you the mantle. There's literally no way for toby to write dess as a complex and redeemable character if she is the knight. She wasted years of her life getting stronger in the dark world. She completely shut off her friends and family, morphed into an abomination, and then during one seemingly random week before a festival, decides to come back as a terrorist menace exploiting the rules of this world and putting the very friends and family that she abandoned in danger.. That isn't interesting, that's just poor writing. Even the biggest pieces of shit like Flowey had the ability to reset and undo their actions. The knight doesn't have that power and thus has to act knowing that the negative effect of their actions are permanent

>>714507382
Truly a mystery where such an idea could have come from.

>>714507597
It should not take fucking 10 years to make this. I am bored of waiting for it.
>most people who haven't played deltarune yet are secondaries who were only interested in undertale as a popular game
I loved Undertale, I really want to play this, but I want it to be DONE

>>714507418
It is but I like it. Gives me something to seasonally return to and be really autistic about, until my interest inevitably wanes and I go do other stuff. I don't understand how there are people who have been commited to deltarune even during the long gaps between releases.

The wait also probably wouldn't have been as long if it wasn't for the pandemic, Toby's wrist problems, and that weird gamemaker feature they had to wait a long time for.

>gets immediately forgotten about

>>714507629
Wow... It's like the interesting part... is finding out WHY she's doing it, now just that she's doing it...

>>714498280
It would've been really cool if the game gave you the opportunity to play the part of a psychopath acting like the average pacifist fag but it all being a facade, like having some moments where your mask slip and some NPCs get the feeling that there's something wrong with you if you pick certain dialogue options
But instead it's mostly just the same shit

>>714507663
>It should not take fucking 10 years to make this.
Have you ever made a game?

>>714507242
I didn't know that. It looks like it's probably true, I just checked a random playthrough uploaded to YT recently:

>>714507663
The main issue was Toby's wrist getting fucked up, until he eventually relented on bringing a team in, then spending a while actually getting that team to a point where they can do actual dev.

Do you think there's going to be a massive wave of regret among waitfags when they finally join us upon the release of the final chapter? It's just such an obviously bad idea.

The thing that's got to break them is when they learn about all the secret shit after they already finished the game When they realise how much of it is cryptic hints to shit they already fully know about because it was really meant to be found before you reached the end.

Or will they, more infuriatingly fail to realise they fucked up, fail to realise how much of the game's intrigue has been lost on them?

Did Toby think that people wouldn't like Ramb or care about him? It kind of feels to me that way.

What do you think Gaster's endgame is?
I used to think he was only an observer, but having his followes/goners/whatever in the town and going "MY deltarune" makes me think he has something to gain from what's happening.

What characters besides Kris are 100% aware of the soul? Noelle's mom seems to be, Ralsei might be, but who else?

>>714507823
I doubt DR can reach the level of hype the Black Hole Mobster Kingpin fight had

>>714508151
No I think they'll just be satisfied that they played a good quality game without having to wait years to play it, on top of constant theorycrafting, headcanons and wishful thinking creating unreasonable expectations.

>>714508151
>The thing that's got to break them is when they learn about all the secret shit
Are you kidding? They're going to get a goldmine of shit to discover, already documented by everyone who played it years ago. At worst the secrets in the final chapters are going to take some time to be fully published, but that'll just feed into the people who binged the game from start to finish, suddenly learning about more things they can do, more things to anticipate after the fact, with none of the burnout of watching a fanbase mentally tear itself apart over years of waiting for answers.

waitfags are going to get the biggest payoff of their life: a complete experience

how xe knows it happened

Toby fever dream was Live A Live but with the seven human souls
Undertale Yellow was an inside job

>>714507864
I like the idea of him having a different artstyle but he just looks like he's having a seizure and throwing gang signs here

>>714508460
He's a charming british guy.

>>714507629
Flowey is evil because he's gone mad while being trapped in his current form. He's different from Asriel.
Having said that, you're assuming an awful lot about Dess.
>wasted years of her life getting stronger
Have we seen her stats or something? Can't an enemy be powerful because they're powerful, I.E. Queen, King who were created on the same day they were encountered.
>shut off her friends and family
We have no idea if she willingly disappeared, was disappeared, died, etc.
Besides that, the Knight hasn't actually done much that could be considered truly evil, other than attacking Tenna and Jackinstein. Sure, they've kidnapped Undyne, but we also have no clue what they're planning. (other than a 'sacrifice')

>>714508584
He loves UTY, he literally thrown Toriel under the bus to make Ceroba look better.

>>714508598
I'm a Ralsei = Plush fan, but I never understood the "unsent valentines" part of the theory. Did Dess have a bunch of Valentines she wanted to send to Asriel? Did she receive a bunch of Valentines that she just stored in her closet?

>>714503837

Remember that Kris was offering his own mother to the knight

The amount of details pointing to Dess being the Knight can't even fit into one post. People who thought Kris was the knight went off basically one thing: they make a fountain at the end. Realistically, Kris couldn't have made the computer lab fountain - and they didn't, and it was hinted that they didn't by the closet text.

>>714508853
I imagine those were just courtesy valentines she was planning to send to her classmates and friends.

>>714506603
People say Ramb would've been a schizo boss had a different sequence of events taken place, but he doesn't fit the theme of being a discarded part of the room, he doesn't even belong in the room. You'd think if TV Land had a schizo boss, it'd be something like C-SPAN or the public access channel.

>>714508891
Or: Kris knew that both Toriel and Undyne were needed by the Knight, so they made Undyne come along by slashing the tires, which lured her to the premises. Kris succeeded in keeping the Knight from capturing Toriel because she took Undyne instead.
It's why Kris feels personal responsibility if Alphys asks them about where Undyne went off to ("It's my fault" as one of the dialogue choices)

>>714508853
The two parental locks in the TV World are 1225, obviously a recurring number related to Dess, and 213. People are taking 213 to mean 2/13, as in the day before Valentine's Day, and that's supposed to mean Dess disappeared on that day.
In reality the 213 is simply because Toriel thought 123 was too obvious but wasn't creative enough to come up with a good one, and 1225 in all its appearances are supposed to refer to Kris, as in Krismas, the nickname that we've seen Rudy and Noelle refer to Kris by to the extent where it wouldn't surprise me if that's actually his full first name.

>>714509079
It's only obvious to people stewing in theorycrafting for years. Most laymen completely miss the connection, Dess was introduced rather subtly.

No, Carol is supposed to be the red herring. The casual fan barely remembers Dess exists.

>>714508962
Why the fuck would they spoil themselves if they're playing the game from the beginning?
And if you're saying that they're seeing all the little details after knowing the whole story, that doesn't detract from the experience.
Toby doesn't expect you to see every single secret in one playthrough, so he leaves these things for when you replay the game years later.

>>714506181
On the contrary, it has so much easy to miss content that it's really annoying, between armors, the egg paths and the fact that you need to S-Rank the Ch3 minigames from the very beginning to have access to the Mantle route.

Did you know that you will get permanently locked out of the Ch3 egg if you finish the Mantle fight first, forcing you to restart the chapter if you didn't make a save before that point? Did you know that you will get permanently locked out of the Ch4 egg if you finish Susie's Dark World because there's no way to go back there to find the secret room? When you need to start looking for "spoiler free" guides to make sure you're not missing important things before reaching a point of no return, then we're having a problem.

>>714509029
Dunno, sending a bunch of valentines doesn't sound like something Dess would do. If it was Noelle, I'd absolutely agree.

>>714509148
Then explain the hearts in the closet and Valentine's day newsletter.

>>714508387
what's actually going to happen is waitfags are just going to bumble through the game and then maybe watch a 4 hour youtube essay after they find out they'd have to replay the whole thing to see shit like the egg hunting payoff

Dess was actually human and Carol adopted her because she’s a human fanatic

I have literally never interacted with Dess theoryshit before chapters 4 and 5 and didin't browse a single deltarune thread in what must've been years before playing the new chapters and even i could instantly tell "holy fucking shit it's Dess" the MOMENT i saw the knight

>>714509252
>Why the fuck would they spoil themselves if they're playing the game from the beginning?
Because they aren't going to be finding secrets until they beat the entire game.
>And if you're saying that they're seeing all the little details after knowing the whole story, that doesn't detract from the experience.
It literally does, hints like Kris losing a hand is only going to be impactful if you have no fucking clue what its alluding to. That entire bit was written to be surreal as fuck for that reason.
>Toby doesn't expect you to see every single secret in one playthrough
That's precisely my point. Again, people are going going to be finding these secrets after they've beaten the game and a lot of these secrets are hints to shit that assume you haven't beaten the game.

>>714509418
Undyne would've been a liability if she escaped, and she was also needed for whatever plans Team Roaring is a part of.
Toriel might've also BTFO the Knight if it tried to do the same thing it did to Undyne and accidentally woke her up.

He's really adorable.

Well, props to you. Even then, "too obvious" is not an argument, Toby's goal is to write a good story, not to subvert our expectations at every turn. Missing family member coming back as some horrible abomination makes for a good story, don't you think? Plus, it raised more questions than it answered.
>how did she became like that
>what are her allegiances
>what's her endgame
Those are interesting questions, but everyone is too stuck up on her identity. Same with Ralsei - people are guessing what kind of object he is rather than asking how the fuck is he so familiar with prophecy and how much he actually knows.

>>714506346

I thought this was obvious.

>>714509554

>thinking toby will make krusie canon when this line exists
imagine being a krusiefag.

>>714506870
Are you retarded? She has antlers and hoofs and she turns into a reindeer to kidnap Undyne, and her initial attack looks like snowflakes. When she summons her sword, it starts off looking like a bat - and this after Tenna reminds the player of Dess and has you perform "Raise Up Your Bat." When Kris looks at the knight, their head hurts; this is repeated in the following chapter when looking at her rollerskates and wiffle bat. The Knight and Kris are also clearly working together since Kris refuses to attack them in Chapter 4's chase scene and she knights Kris if you survive the whole fight in Chapter 3, causing Toriel to have a nightmare.

Gerson describes Chapter 3 in his book as the Isle of Northernlight, the Mantle game tells you to go to Northernlight and plays a track called Northernlight, and in real life the Northern Lights are called the Aurora Borealis, with Borealis being named after Boreas, the Greek god of the cold northern or northeastern wind - and this is the wind that blows during the Knight fight. Boreas is also always depicted carrying a conch and famously turned a girl into a pine tree. Which character has the northern lights/aurora borealis printed on their bedroom wall?

Play the game, retard.

Thing is I believe Toby intended the weird route to be something you discover and try after ending the normal route, using the clues the game has littered throughout.
But the chapter-based release completely destroys the intention, as now everyone is doing it without even knowing why.
I believe mindbreaking Noelle is key in whatever happens next, and we're doing everything in our power within our very small range of action in order to get things done, in reality we are supposed to be fighting even harder than everyone else against fate, with full knowledge of what awaits for us in the end, and doing it by any means necessary.

>>714509773
Gaster is Toby and Toby was sad when you kill Claus so he making this game to essentially save him in effigy.

Gerson basically told us this with his "Stories can be retold and changed in the retelling "

>>714510236
Those are intrusive thoughts. He was already conditioned to say "Proceed" day before, so it crept up in his mind.

What sells me on the ch3 krusie scene isn't just her offering him to smell her hair but also gives him a half drunk soda for the indirect kiss.

why don't they just smash the panel on the bunker so the knight can't get back in once she leaves

>Still better evidence than any other Knight candidate
The Knight is Kris's stand as being controlled by Kris as hinted towards by this part in the mantle game and also foreshadowed by how the Knight is suggested to be a shadow creature, like the Shadowmen, so something is probably casting the shadow, Kris.

The Knight fight was Kris summoning his stand to fight the party.

But probably is also related to Dess in some way as also hinted by the Toriel variable changing the shadow creature here to be a Deer and any other Dess hint you will bring up. This theory automatically has more evidence because it engulfs the knight just simply being Dess.

of course Noelle would do something like that

>>714510914
SUSELLESISTERS SAY IT AINT SO

>>714510981
The "toriel" flag isn't to indicate that Toriel had something to do with Dess' disappearance, but that Dess took the appearance of the Knight in case Toriel woke up so Toriel wouldn't discover her identity. She's keeping that look in the future so Susie doesn't start asking questions, but it's not what Dess normally looks like in the dark world.

wormelle

I had a vision from the future.
People are saying Susie will lash out when she figures out Kris is working with the knight. No she won't. Because she's so "nice." She'll try to understand why Kris is doing it and it'll be lame and friendpilled as fuck.

Woohoo! I had my first successful thread that wasn't deleted by a janny!

The first time i saw the 3D Tenna i lost hope in Toby
i love Tenna and ch3 now but damn that first impression was something

The best part about Dess knight is how much of a dork she actually is. You know, going WRYYYY in chapter 3 and posing as Dio in chapter 4. There were violent comic books in her room, after all.

>>714511678

>>Where the hell was she for the better part of a decade?

Even ignoring that, bullying the majors daughter is a great way to get ran out of town.)? What reason would she have to cause chaos and hurt her friend Kris? How in the hell did she get so strong? Why did she abandon her sister, leaving her vulnerable for so long?
We don't know, but we don't really know why anybody would do what the knight is doing beyond "I'm evil lmao".

It's obvious that her whole knight persona is similiar to Asriel's whole "god of hyperdeath" being his cringe OC he made as a toddler, only here since Dess is supposed to be an older teenager it's probably her Dark Souls character or something

>>714511291
>Kris used their stand to make a Titan to stall the Fun Gang because ???
You don't know the answer to that even with the Knight simply being Dess, because we don't actually know what their goals are with creating fountains. Supposedly it's to keep the party from sealing the church fountain by creating a second one that's even harder to seal.
>Kris doesn't open the door that's clearly hinted to be hiding the Knight instead of just dismissing their stand because ???
