Oh, and happy seventh birthday to Undertale
It’s been just about a year since Chapter 2 ofDeltarunewasreleasedfor free, but we won’t be seeing any more from the game this year. That’s the message from dev Toby Fox, who’s posted an update on how Deltarune’s coming along. Fox’s message to those eagerly awaiting more from the game was published to mark the seventh anniversary of his indie RPG smashUndertale. It shares some new screens, GIFs, a video and even some tunes.
You can listen to three new music tracks from Deltarune as part of the update: Hometown Bay, My Funky Town and Green Room. Okay, okay, they aren’t quite Megalovania or Bonetrousle, but it’s something to tide you over. Fox still seems to be hard at work on Deltarune, and said he wants to see the game released “the most out of anyone on the planet”.
“As stated last time,” Fox said, “we’ve been simultaneously working on Chapters 3, 4 and 5 of DELTARUNE. A few more people are helping out, and the pace of the game creation is definitely improved from last time. The intention was to work on all three chapters simultaneously, but so far we’ve mostly just gotten work done on Chapter 3 and 4.”
It’s been almost four years since Foxrevealedhe was working on a follow-up to Undertale. He’s been busy with things other than developing Deltarune too, such aswriting musicfor multiple generations of Pokémon games. Now, it seems Fox will be picking up where Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai left off for Japanese mag Weekly Famitsu, writing a serialised column called “Toby Fox’s Secret Base” (thanksSource Gaming). That’ll feature Fox’s musings on “strange and interesting” games.
