​

After nearly three years of radio silence, the newest game from acclaimed Undertale creator Toby Fox released today. Chapter 2 of Deltarune, the parallel story to Undertale, was suddenly announced early yesterday morning to be getting a release this morning on Steam and Itch. Like the first chapter, chapter 2 is available for a free download. However, according to a FAQ on the official Deltarune website, chapters 3-5 will be paid releases. It is also worth noting that these releases are only on Windows and Mac, and it is unknown when chapter 2 will be available on PS4 and Switch.

In a status update posted in September of 2020, Toby Fox stated that future chapters will likely not take as long as chapter 2 has. After releasing chapter 1, most of that development time was spent on finishing a detailed outline of the rest of the chapters, filling out the rest of his team, and trying to find a better engine to make the following chapters in other than GameMaker, which was used to develop the first chapter (before ultimately deciding to continue using GameMaker). As of right now, however, no solid details have been given on when to expect future chapters.

It looks OK and all, but I'm still waiting for Toby Fox and Tony Hawk to team up for something

 

[TonyMax]

Add another one to the queue

Finished it the last night. Toby really surpassed himself with a lot of the new stuff

 

[KingVamp]

i got netraul ending on undertale and it only had one save slot i just gave up and youtube the other endings.

Nice that he's giving away the first two chapters free, but I'm not a huge fan of this type of piecemeal release schedule. Why not just drop the full game when it's finished, all at once, and make chapters one and two the demo?

probably because it's gonna take ass long and he wants to keep momentum / hype / speculation going

He actually said he was going to release all the full game at once and only put chapter 1 for free. I don't know why the fuck he released this-

Surely you are aware that if you're playing anything on the PC, it's generally trivial to manually back up the files in which the save data is stored and thus have as many save slots as you want?

I eagerly await the Switch release!

It's like the cringe will never die.

 

[Ajlr]

YEEEEESSSS! Even though I don't have a PC, I don't care.

 

[MORSHU8KRTXON]

Didn’t like undertale much because of the lack of side content

 

[Deleted member 546149]

The first Deltarune SUCKED
Probably gonna happen with this

I actually started playing the new Deltarune and I'm actually loving it!

I'd been wondering if Toby had quietly shelved this project, since there had been complete radio silence for the past three years.
Guess not!

He's not too social in general, development of Undertale was also on a silent side aside of some obligatory updates. Can't blame him much considering the SoSorry/Samael drama, tbh.
