So a little while back I posted these on my Twitter page after the release of DeltaRune Chapter 2, I made these sprites for my own little fake fan chapter that would ALSO take place in the library, though this one in the main library with all the books. The concept was that the entire class all ends up getting pulled into this new storybook themed Dark-World and captured by the Chapter’s antagonist, Sir Duke Lancerlot (whom fancies himself as the Hero). Alphys would get a MewMew kissy cutie themed darkworld outfit, there’d be plenty of jokes/homages to popular literature, and I was even gonna make a Darkworld sprite for Red from UnderTale Red, though held off on her. All in all though these were a lot of fun. Used them to get some practice in back then and to see how well I could replicate DeltaRune’s sprite style, and personally… I’m pretty happy with them all this time later.

I followed you back when deltarune chapter 2 came out, since I thought your comic bout it was neat. That being said, I've noticed these Altonverse pages you've been posting being released for a while now and kinda just ignored it. Saw that you're nearly finished the comic, and I guess that was enough to make me bite the bullet and ask. So. What the flying-flip is this thing???
Is it a comic? A show? Movie, book? All I can find on it is fanart. Where is the original work located?
It looks real interesting and I'd love to learn more, but it's also so niche I can't find anything (much) on it?? Am I looking in the wrong place? Am I blind?
Sincerely signed,
- Plz Help
Firstly, thank you for sticking with me! I appreciate your interest!
My Alton Towers works (Which I've been calling 'Altonverse' as a placeholder name) are just some fan works (Some loosely tied together with a narrative) that I've been making for fun for awhile now.
Believe it or not, this is all based on a theme park in England called, well, Alton Towers! The park has several roller coasters that were world firsts and have backstories ranging from an alien frozen in suspended animation to a government agency the brainwashes you into being happy. The parks lore is very open to interpretation, and many people have been inspired to 'fill in the gaps' of these stories or expand on them.
If you're interested in learning more about my specific works based on Alton Towers You can read the introductory comic here
Sadly I can't link them all at the moment as I'm currently on mobile, but searching the following tags on my blog will bring up most of the content I've made relating to all this!

Thank you for your interest, and I hope you have fun falling down this rabbit hole!!

I'm always kind of saddened by the existence of a Deltarune 'Weird Route', as if we need a darker edgier alternative to the main storyline, despite always being doomed to exist in post-UT No Mercy world.
Like, it was always going to exist, given that No Mercy contributed well into Undertale's popularity, giving another side to the colorful world and cast, a complementary outlook on why said cast's happy ending means so much. Also a deeper look on the character's hidden depths, from Papyrus's genuine forgiveness to Undyne's determination to Alphys's intelligence to Flowey's rationalization to Sans's power.
And like, from the moment Deltarune was released, people have been asking about a 'No Mercy' Route. We played around in chapter 1, but found no difference between a neutral and a kill-all playthrough. So there wasn't an alternate route...
And then we played Chapter 2, and we found one, kind of hidden and tucked away. Snowgrave, a darker alternative route where we finally figure out how to kill, just at the cost of a young girl's sanity. It's directly more uncomfortable than No Mercy, as the player takes the role of an abuser in a relationship, instead of that of a remorseless killer.
But despite said uncomfortableness, Snowgrave WAS a vital component in Deltarune Chapter 2's popularity. It sparked discussion, theory videos, fanart. Snowgrave single-handledly turned fan opinion on Noelle from 'cute, sweet & romantic, but lacking substance' to 'terrifying, tragic powerhouse with a dark side who deserves good things and a proper confidence boost.'
And I'm grateful Noelle is a well-liked character, she's great. I'm grateful people are invested in Deltarune's alternate route. It's an intriguing part of the game's world.
It's just kind of sad that it had to exist at all.

i just. finished reading the last chapter of dream come true and like. god. theres a lot to unpack.
first off i was always a krerdly believer for the series. ever since we saw berdly being a fucking disaster and ask everyone but kris out i was cheering for him to ask out kris. and oh boy you fucking did it. you actually fucking did it im so happy and grinning like an idiot even though berdly asking kris out actually made me die of secondhand embarrassment. the little cringefail gamers going together. what a dream. also kris in a dress supremacy lets fucking go im bad at visualizing stuff in my head but they mustve looked so gender and i am envious.
also a mini fangame thing for the actual epilogue????? oh my god im actually gonna explode. like actually so so so so excited for it.
and finally. i just. want to express my disbelief at how its finally ending. i remember meticulously going through the deltarune tag because i just got sucked back in and i wasn't there for the initial chapter one release of deltarune so i wanted all the content i could get my hands on. and of course there were already some chapter 2 stuff in there, and i saw dare to dream, and thought "oh, that's a nice suselle fic, i'll go check it out" and i fell in love with it. just good pining and fluff, with a little bit of worry about carol in the last chapter but like. ok. and you uploaded a sequel and i was ecstatic and you kept writing. and writing. and writing until eventually we're waist deep into your own headcanon lore with whole new characters and dark worlds and it was just. amazing. actually one of my favorite fic series i've ever read, deltarune or otherwise. every chapter you put out somehow outdid the last and its been such a joy eagerly awaiting the next update and godddddd i cant believe it's finally over.
thank you so much for it all. i genuinely cannot express enough how much dare to dream means to me. the hit of serotonin every time i get the little notification in my emails. me actually having to stop in the middle of reading chapters and walking all over the room. rolling and squealing and flailing in my bed at fuck o clock in the morning. trying to guess what happens in the new chapter and searching through my playlists for mood appropriate music to read to and then changing it when the epic battle turns into a reunion and then lore exposition. its been such a wonderful ride and im looking forward to the epilogue and your future works as well because whatever you decide to put out next, im sure it's gonna be a great one.
im gonna CRY!!! im gonna CRY!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you so much for sticking with the fic this long. God, I was already pretty emotional just posting that chapter, and then all of you fuckers have been so goddamn NICE! I'm scheduling this for tomorrow because of the spoilers, but as of time of writing, I haven't even read through all the comments yet, and i just KNOW its gonna fucking destroy me
Anyway. Yeah the Krerdly thing was a looooong game and im so glad I got to pay it off like this here lmaooo

YES!!! A REAL FNAF SECURITY BREACH RUIN DLC TRAILER!!!!
[Note: FNAF Spoilers, Don’t Read Until You Watched The Trailer. also Don’t Reblog Without Permission] 
best day ever, I just learned today about it.
and we finally got a name for the new character as well, the new girl’s name is Cassie.
best day ever, with some not so great stuff that is going on, this is one of the best news ever.
we not only get a real trailer about the new free dlc of FNAFSB...
but we also find out the name of the new playable character. :D
I’m guessing this, but I wonder if Cassie could be Gregory’s Twin Sister.
that is of course, a FNAF Theory. but it’s okay if I’m wrong about Cassie being Gregory’s twin sister, but it could still be possible.
hopefully Cassie will get a Animatronic to help her out like Gregory had Freddy.
I mean it could be possible she might end up having a Animatronic helping her and it not just being her trying to save Gregory on her own.
and it does seem that her being blonde would end up being in Fanon...
well we can always call the blonde version of her by a different name.
I was surprised to find out that the trailer for FNAF Ruin DLC had been put up...
and by the looks of it, it was around May 19, 2023....
so it was yesterday and I’m just learning about it today on May 20, 2023.
but still, it is still the best news ever....
I know I might not be able to play the other future chapters of Deltarune, and might have to wait to do that, but until then I can enjoy playing the two chapters and watch walkthroughs that involve Chapters 1 to 2 as well as the future chapters.
anyway at least the FNAF Ruin DLC is free, and it will be worth the wait.
and well the new chapters for Deltarune will be worth the wait as well.
we just have to wait until July 2023, so around next month. 
it is still great news to get to see the official trailer for the Ruin DLC. :)
------
Edit Of May 22, 2023:
in case there is any misunderstandings, I want to point out that
while I said we have to wait until July 2023, I meant for the FNAF Ruin DLC, and NOT the next chapters for Deltarune....though it would be interesting if they both released on the same month, but that might not be likely to happen...
so I wanted to edit this to point out, that when I was talking about the whole we have to wait until July 2023, I was talking about the release for FNAF Ruin DLC.....I thought I would edit this in, in case there is any misinterpretations.
------------
Edit of May 24, 2023:
took me I don’t know how many tries to try to get this to work so I could edit this...
but I kept running into trouble, I kept getting that error loading thing, and the tab even crashed like maybe two or three times...
and I wasn’t getting anywhere just trying to go to my Archive, to open this open and edit it, because it kept showing that error loading and wouldn’t freaking work.
so I had to try to look this post I did, and yeah it still ended up doing that error loading thing, but after trying I guess for a second time...
I was finally able to edit this, and what I wanted to edit in....
was that I had forgot about “June” and the whole FNAF Ruin DLC wont be until, two months...? 
so after May, it will be June and then July, with how excited I was, I forgot about the June month coming next after May...
and yeah, it did make me both mad and annoyed that my attempts to edit this was met with that error loading popping up and even the whole tab crashing thing...
this was just suppose to be to point out I had messed up with the month, and I forgot about the June Month, and I know my being so happy about the DLC and I guess I didn’t think about the whole June coming next before July...
anyway, I hope some understand my mistake there...
as well as my not being too happy when I kept running into trouble trying to edit this so I can inform about my mistake I made when saying we had to wait until next month, but it will really be two months right now, but once it becomes June, then it will be one more month...
anyway, the DLC will be worth the wait, and I can’t wait to see Cassie in it and see if she gets her own guardian or not. :)

DELTARUNE: ROARING WINTER First Anniversary Status Update
Tumblr media
YIPPEE!!!
Welcome to the first Deltarune Roaring Winter Status Update! Essentially I’ll be posting these every 3-6 months depending on how progress is going on the AU and comic. Given this is the first we have a lot to share, tell and discuss so without wasting a second... Let’s go!
THE PROLOGUE
The Prologue is where a vast majority of my own efforts have been going, for those not in the know the prologue will cover a few key things before Chapter 1 kicks off fully including a good look at a few important characters both for Chapter 1 and beyond.
Speaking of those characters, almost every prologue character is completed! I personally have a couple more side sprites to make as well as some portrait/talk sprites and potentially one more overworld sprite for a character. On the whole, the characters are what I’ve been working on most since the AUs conception a year ago and as such, they’re pretty much almost fully done.
When it comes to environments, I’m simply going to say it now. I am an idiot.
I completely used the wrong dimensions when spriting the environment sprites, oops. Luckily however, I wanted to remake a vast few of these anyway and on the whole, I’m happy with how they’re coming out! The prologue has around 5 unique areas to sprite in total with pretty much all of these being small except for Hometown, though work on this so far has been going well.
In terms of the writing, for the prologue at least everything is complete for once in that regard! Though my mind keeps wanting me to go back and change the beginning (this has happened almost 3 times now) so while I say it’s complete I’ll probably read it again and want to change something.
As a whole, I’m aiming to release the prologue either sometime in January and at the latest February, it’s only really me and one other person working on this project so I hope you’ll all be patient!
CHAPTER 1 & BEYOND
Whilst I don’t exactly have as much to share on Chapter 1 as I did with the prologue, progress is still going well! In terms of the story I currently have a big outline of how I want the plot to go and how the story to end, important characters have been decided, antagonists and other side characters for Dark Worlds past chapter 3 are still heavily in work though.
Chapters 1 and 2 and a little bit of 3 are currently written out in a very rough state and my mind on chapter 2 especially has changed a lot since it was the first chapter and thing I ended up writing for the AU so I’ll 100% need to go back and change it.
Sprites for Chapter 1 are very limited however there are a few sprites made already, the antagonists sprites minus one of them are all done as well as the Dark World forms of every important character. I have concept art drawn for Chapter 1 areas too, I just need to sprite them out.
Overall though, that’s about it in regards to the progress of the AU! I thank you all for being as patient as you’ve been and I hope the next time that we meet here, the prologue is completed and I’m bathing in a pool of money, or something like that.
Until next time...

So hey! Apparently it was Undertale's 7th Birthday a few days back, and it's almost (already has?) been a year since Deltrarune Chapter 2 was inflicted upon the world. With that in mind, and in commemoration of this auspicious occasion, I have taken it upon myself to compose a short piece of fiction. Please enjoy :)
Something exploded off on the far side of the royal library. Ralsei didn't even look up from his book. The hope had been that she might have calmed down by now...
'Hey Ramsey Guess What'
Perhaps if he read harder, she'd get bored and go away. This was the third wall she'd destroyed in the past hour, and he really didn't want to have to repair the castle a second time. He focused his gaze so fixedly upon the words in front of him that they almost caught fire.
'My Internal Clock Informs Me That It Has Been One Year Since I Was Crowned Ruler Of This Supply Closet/Castle Isn't That Cool Rudolph'
The prince sighed, snapping his book shut and returning it to its shelf with his scarf. He looked up at Queen, who had decided in her infinite wisdom to perch up on one of the tall shelves, balancing on one leg like some mechanical trapese artist.
'It... it hasn't even been a day...?' he said, knowing full well this inconvenienct fact would be ignored.
'Somebody Should Initialise deliciouscake.Exe To Mark The Occasion Don't You Think'
'Err, that could be... well, we DO have some excellent chefs in Castle Town, I'm certain one of them will be happy to-'
'No I Have Already Decided That You're Going To Do It' she replied with an imperious laugh.
Ralsei's glasses nearly fell off his nose. 'M-m-me?! B-but I... I'm very busy right now Queen, what with admin, expansion of the castle... (and not to mention the reconstruction work...)'
Queen's visor lit up with an array of question marks. 'Don't You Have: Guys (Peons) To Do All That'
'N-no, I... err...'
'I'll Forward You Some Of Mine For A Bit/Now Chop Chop This Cake Isn't Going To: Install Itself Is It Rufus'
'...I'll go fire up the cauldron.'
'No You Won't LMAO'
He froze in place. '...dare I ask why...?'
Queen laughed again, leaping down from her perch. 'I May Or May Not Have Tried Drinking From It And Now It: Won't Respond/Not Even Tasque Manager Could Get It To Run'
'...no, of course. Of course. Why'd I bother asking...?'
'What Was That Rousseau'
Ralsei forced a smile. 'I SAID, I'd be happy to make it by hand. Wh-what sort of-?'
'I Shall Print Off Detailed Instructions For You To Follow/Even A Non-Computer Idiot Could Follow Them/Any Questions'
He looked down. 'Y-yes, why are your feet smoking like that...?'
'Sorry Can't Hear You Over How Cool These New Jet Boots Are Kthxbye'
And with a scream of fire and smoke, Queen rocketed away, obliterating another wall and leaving scorch marks on the lovely carpet he'd only laid yesterday.
...on reflection, perhaps a spot of baking was just what he needed to soothe his frayed nerves.
Additional Notes: In truth I wanted to do this sooner, to coincide with the Queen's platinum jubilee, but I was busy and stuff. Given recent events, I'm not sure this timing's much better really. No offence is meant, this is just intended as a bit of lighthearted fun to celebrate one year since Chapter 2 released. Also I plan to write continuations to this semi-frequently, mainly involving several characters from Deltarune trying to, err, 'help' fluffy boy make a cake for Queen's one-day jubilee. I have ideas for how these will play out, but if you wanna field any suggestions my way, please do, in whatever manner is easiest. Could be a fun little exercise in author/reader collaboration, couldn't it? All that said, thanks for reading, and have a fantastic day :)

(This is pretty lengthy for an ask, but I wanted to get all my thoughts out there.)
I'm unsure if you'll see this, considering how you said the other day that you wouldn't be able to get to every ask, but I still wanted to share my thoughts on the Finale:
I absolutely loved the parallels between Undertale and Deltarune in Gaster and the Hunan's backstory, and it was so satisfying to have a concrete explanation to that, as well as an explanation to Kris' origins. And I loved the reasonings this universe has for certain unexplained aspects of the actual game, such as the mysterious bunker and the humming noise that comes from it being Deltarune's version of the CORE.
The ending was...not what I was expecting to be honest. I kind of wished it showed Gaster's reaction to his plans falling apart, or just explained what exactly happened at the end (Although this is just my personal dissatisfaction with cliffhangers, and I'm aware and fine that this was the ending you've always intended to have.) But it was so good to see Kris finally be free from the Player's control, and of course to see Asriel come home rocking that totally inconspicuous red sweater.
In the end, I suppose what really happens is left for the reader's imagination. I'm really sad to see Paper Trail end. This was the first fancomic I've ever been so invested in, and I'll miss looking forward to every other Sunday for a new update. In a time where Deltarune: Chapter 2 has not yet been released, this was a welcome addition to fill in that empty space.
Anyways, I've written too much. Thank you so much for this great comic! I'll be looking forward to whatever other projects you make in the future. But for now it seems Paper Trail has reached...An Ending.
Oh my goodness, that is a VERY long response! First off, thank you for writing out all these thoughts, that must've taken awhile!
Very glad that you liked those connections with UT! They felt appropriate to me without letting the two universes cross over too much. And yeah, I can understand the feelings about Gaster and the ending, been getting lot of responses like that!
Also, really makes me happy that this helped to fill some of the space between now and the full Deltarune game for you! It kinda did that for me, too.
Thank you very much again!

HeWWO ONCE MORE! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2 LET'S GOOOO. Oh God, everytime a new Deltarune Chapter comes out (or well, the two times DT updated including it's release xd) it feels like a party for me XD, not only for the hype of the current fandom but also because many of my friends (whom I knew in majority years ago in the UT Fandom) that are not into Undertale related things anymore all of the sudden came back to the fandom and get the hype as well xD, it causes me a bit of nostalgia of when I meet them for the firsts times and we used to talk a lot about the two games xd.
Still, I haven't played it yet tho-
And definitely I need to get a man like Dream(?).
On the other hand, yesterday I was so happy because I found my old violin on my grandma's house— Like, when I went to UK I didn't brought it with me because of the lack of space (and initially I was going to be in London just two months) And when I came back I didn't find it anywhere, yesterday I went to my grandmother's place and there it was, AND I WAS LIKE: "S E B A S T I À N, YOU'RE ALIVE—" Now the problem is that one of his thingys I forgot the name of (the things that produce sound that are long ¿) is broken, and I don't know where to buy a new one, and also I don't go to violin classes anymore because I lost my vacant -cry-
I'm sorry if maybe you were already asked this, but, besides piano, do you play any instruments? :0 oH, AND ALSO, HAVE YOU EVER READ CHINESE MANWHAS? I STARTED READING ONE YESTERDAY AND I THINK I RAN OUT OF TEARS IN A SINGLE DAY-
I hope you're having a lovely day, or night, or evening Zu! We love you a lot! (♡˙︶˙♡)
— Waffle and oreos anon ★
Oh hii! (ówò)♡
YEAHHH it's a party for the whole fandom! ☆ Even for those who are not really interested in it ig (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) But so trueee! <3 I've downloaded the game but haven't played it yet either :'))
(ㅅ´ ˘ `)˚✧₊⁎
That's amazing! \(//∇//)\ Things worked out the best way for you <3 Awww a violin! It's always seemed to me one of the hardest instruments to learn & play but sooo beautiful in sounding *^* Hopefully you can restore it, the skill's impossible to lose ☆
Oh don't be sorry <3 Yep! I also play the ocarina, quite rarely tho (the sound insulation is poor here so my neighbors are unlikely to enjoy my daily practice XD) Thinking about trying a kalimba?.. ♪
*GASP* YES— What's this one?? *0* I've been reading 19 Days — One day, Their Story, Shen Sheng, etc. since school times ♡
Thank you sooo much! (〃ω〃) Hope you're doing good too, have a nice day and night as well ☆

Hello! If you want a explanation for wtf is this, see under the cut
If not, and you want to judge me without context, go ahead, I think
And if you want to judge me WITH context its also ok, bc like
wtf is this?
Undertale and DDLC are the two most important pieces of media I've received. I can't begin to tell how much it has impacted my life.
My love for these games is as big as can be, and i don't think I'll get out of these fandoms soon.
During the recent times, given because of the well known virus, things have been really hard. I was one of the luck ones that cold spend the whole time comfortable at home, and didn't have the necessity to go work somewhere else. I'm really glad of it, but still, it was (and still kind of being) a rough time. And let me tell you, undertale and ddlc helped A LOT to go through everything.
I couldn't tell what would happen to me without them, I just know I would be considerably worse.
Oh yeah, and my birthday is one day after undertale's anniversary and my brother's birthday is one day before ddlc's anniversary, while ddlc and ut anniversary have only one week apart.
It's a hell of a week, in my opinion
I remember kind of thinking that the concert of the 5th undertale anniversary was some kind of indirect gift for me lol, its not true, but it was a hapoy event for my birthday anyway :D
And this year, WE HAVE DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2
This is even better than the concert
That's also why I decided to post this today (when chr 2 is going to release) rather than 16, my own birthday
Well, this picture was a gift I did for myself, where the characters I simp for really love are just eating cake
Just
Eating birthday cake
Chocolate birthday cake
Well, everything here is kind of cringe, but now I've written to much and I'm not erasing it
Have a good day
And happy 6th undertale and 4th doki doki literature club anniversary!

Happy birthday!! What was one of your favorite media things as a kid and what are some things you loved about it- it can be a book series or a tv series or a movie, etc, but I think it's cool to hear about what creators like you enjoyed during their childhood. Hope you have a good day today! Thank you for sharing your content with the fandoms you enjoy- it adds to the incredible experience a lot of us get to have being here and it's something a lot of people remember for years fondly.
Woo boy, I hyper-focused on several things. Elementary school was a lot of historical fiction books (this was pre-Magic Treehouse), non-fiction books, and mysteries, as well as Harry Potter! We read the first book all together in 4th grade around the time it came out, EVERYONE wanted to be a Gryffindor back then (before we all became adults and realized how much of a dumbass Dumbledore was - love the man but jeeze, most of the books could have been completely circumvented if you just COMMUNICATED!) (also Fuck JKR, trans women are women!). I am happily a SlytherPuff, by the way. I also really loved the Borrowers, and by extent any kind of giant/tiny stuff. I actually have a Spamton-Borrower story in my notes right now, of him trying to steal a macaron from the Color Cafe... ;D
Middle school began my first real pop-culture obsession: Transformers Armada. One of the worst of the Transformer shows, but it captured my heart. In 7th grade I joined the Creative Writing Club, and one of the 8th graders introduced me to this magical place called Fanfiction.net.
And that was the end of me ever paying attention in any math class ever again. I still have some of my notebooks from middle/high school and there are fanfictions written longhand in them, surrounded by 'this is on the test' and 'what test?' and 'crap we have a test?' notes in the margins. I wrote self-indulgent mary-sue Transformers: Armada and Transformers: G1 fanfiction all through middle and high school, along with a stab at one MLP: FIM story that I never finished.
I also (and I am beyond embarrassed to admit this but fuck it!) loved this forum called 'shrinkingman' online, it was a giant/tiny forum where people shared SFW writings. I wrote a TON for it, and it really helped me develop a lot of my dialogue and character interaction skills. There's such a large difference between the characters (pun intended), that you have to figure out creative ways to describe things.
I had a FNaF phase in 2015 - it was one year of VERY focused animatronic themed writings and drawings. After that came Undertale, and I migrated to AO3.com. Undertale kept me going for a while, I was actually drifting away from the fandom...
THEN BOOM: SPAMTON G. SPAMTON, BABY! THIS GUY CAN FIT SO MANY TRAUMAS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA! (Also more Deltarune lore, I think? Was there stuff other than Spamton in chapter 2? I can't remember.)
And now I am obsessed with a little demented and deeply wounded salesman who's in love with a big buff bird butler. I think this hyper-fixation should last me a few good years, hopefully until chapters 3/4/5 are released!

Some thoughts on Deltarune Chapter 2
I’m going to try to avoid being effusively praising of this game…demo…chapter. I’m sure there’s plenty of people doing that already, and I am more than cognizant of the platform I am presenting this post on. That’s going to be tough, yeah, but I’ll make it work.
I’m also going to try to avoid spoiling the thing too hard, even though there are spoilers everywhere and certain supposed-to-be obscure things are widespread at this point. But, someone could still end up reading this before they play it, so I’m going to hold my tongue a fair bit as a result.
Tumblr media
With that in mind: new chapter is obviously out, so how does it stack up?
…I think it might be better than the first one. In my opinion.
Undertale 22 over here is a continuation of the first chapter, released about 3 years ago, taking place literally the next day in-universe. Chapter 1 coming out was a Huge Deal, not in the least a result of how it was announced. Despite the distance since the release, the Undertale fandom was still simmering along, and with an announcement that appears tied to one of that game’s biggest mysteries, it was no wonder that it was going to make some waves.
Chapter 2’s release was a surprise for different reasons. I believe at the time of the first demo, Toby stated that the remaining chapters would release as one, but that it would take a long time on account of the game being so much more complex than Undertale and not playing as much to his strengths. Of course, a lot happens in 3 years, especially with the last couple being as they have been, so Chapter 2 got its own release about a week ago.
I suppose I should stop beating around the bush and explain why I think Ch.2 is better than Ch.1, huh? I think there’s three main factors that swayed me.
Tumblr media
Prologues and introductions always have to do one thing, and that is to familiarise the audience with the setting and characters. Despite sharing many side characters with its pseudo-prequel, Deltarune Chapter 1’s main cast are all completely fresh, and those side characters are in an unfamiliar form, and so much of the game is spent establishing cast dynamics. We have to learn who Susie, Kris, and Lancer are, and how the dynamics between them will be working for the stories to come.
However, there is the slight difference that Deltarune Chapter 1 is kind of a complete story. It’s like the pilot to a tv series- you have to establish characters, yeah, but you still have to get the plot spinning, and those characters still need to have small arcs over the course of the story. Susie and Lancer are kind of the only ones to go through actual arcs across the first chapter, given Ralsei’s currently kind of static character and Kris being a blank slate entirely.
By contrast, Chapter 2 has these dynamics in play from the get-go, and we get to more deeply explore them as a result, making the character work overall stronger. And while there are new characters at play, two of the three (arguably four) new players are already established in Chapter 1, and so we don’t need to spend as much time getting to know them. Character interactions are at the core of many styles of storytelling, and with the quirky characters we have to work with, getting more time seeing them do that is great!
Tumblr media
The second of why I like Chapter Two better is just the gameplay. A fair few little tweaks have been made to make the whole thing cleaner- enemies now have a parallel meter to their HP bar to show how close to sparable they are, so pacifistic players have a better idea of their progress in longer fights. For those players, actually having Susie and Ralsei get ACT options is great, seeing as it makes them substantially more useful (especially Susie). When I replayed Chapter 1 in preparation for playing Chapter 2, I found myself just Guarding with them over and over while Kris did most of the work.
And the creativity with the fights is ramped up a whole bunch. This is another Not Being The First Part thing, but now that the player is used to how fights in this game are going to go, the complexity gets to increase to match, and the characterisation of the bosses and even generic enemies can better be expressed in the gameplay. I remember being genuinely shocked at how much was going on with the Ambyu-Lance enemy’s highway bullet pattern, especially when combined with other enemies in the fray.
I very much enjoyed the secret boss. Oh come on, that’s not a spoiler, everyone knows about Jevil at this point, and you get hinted at it super early on! And it’s way easier to find than Jevil was!
Tumblr media
Anyway. My final point is just that I do like the characters in Chapter 2 better- particularly the antagonists. As fun as Lancer is, the sort of annoying whacky child characters are never something I’m particularly fond is. Even though he’s written really well, it took a lot to sell me on him. As well, as sicknasty as the King’s boss fight was, as well as the scenes surrounding it being an excellent summation of the point of the game as a whole, he’s not an especially interesting character.
And while I suppose Queen isn’t particularly deep either, everything about her is so unbelievably fun. I was pretty much sold on her immediately, with that regal “ohohoho” laugh followed by just absolutely shitposting for the entire length of the game. Her presence makes so much of this game an utter blast. Her presence reminds me a lot of the characters in Undertale who were mostly just there for one area, Alphys in Hotland and the skeletons in Snowdin, constantly popping in to keep things moving, giving each area its own little arc, and generally be fun and amusing along the way. And since each chapter of Deltarune is a lot longer than one arc of Undertale, it’s for the best that Queen manages to make this much of a good impression about the whole thing.
Tumblr media
As I’ve stated, I think most of the reasons why Deltarune Chapter 2 are a simple result of being a Chapter 2 rather than a Chapter 1, rather than being any fault of Chapter 1’s (and the last point is basically personal preference). Both are obviously still excellent, and I’m happy to wait patiently for the series to continue if it keeps up this level of quality. At the end of the day, like, this game is currently free. And it provides a better and longer experience than a lot of actually paid games I’ve played. Toby Fox has managed to be a big shot after literally releasing one and two sevenths of a game, and it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be slowing down anytime soon. Here’s hoping that the assistance he’s apparently getting for future chapters works out such that it doesn’t end up sacrificing quality, but I don’t see this happening quite yet. I suppose only time will tell, but I’m optimistic. Filled with determination, as some would say.
no that’s cringy cut that one sheesh okay let me out of here im done

BOO IM THE HAPPIIEST IVE BEEN IN A WHILE. THEY MADE DELTARUNE CHAP 2 FOR SWITCH THIS MORNING. I have literally been playing it all day with no breaks(I'm just now taking my first break at 8:34PM) AND IM STILL NOT DONE! THIS CHAPTER HAS REACHED ABOVE MY EXPECTATIONS AND BEYOND. IM IN LOVE extra long, freaking hilarious, everything and every animation is SO SMOOTH. It's free as well. I'm glad the creator made it free(he said bc of how much we've felt with for the past year) but seeing how well made everything is? And it coming 9ut for switch after only a week of its release? I would have completely 100% understood it costing money. If 2020 handt happend it would have and I understand! It's prob gonna take a few years for another chapter to come out and most will cost money (understandably) like this one but sense Toby Fox(the creator ) now has a full well working and functional team my hopes are that it won't take as long :) I'm very very happy. I love gaming and consider myself a gamer and it's nice to have new content I can afford as of late especially well made content. They took their time and it was way worth it. I'm proud tbh.
bestie that's awesome! I'm glad they came out with it for the switch so you didn't have to continue parkouring through spoilers lmao
