calling it

His game sucks. The music is okay. Stick to just doing that.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
i just have to WAIT
i just have to WAIT
i just have to WAIT
i just have to WAIT
i just have to WAIT

still releases before silksong

We already pretty much knew this, it's in line with the trend

No one cares about this nobody.

The real question is...
Can it play crysis 3

I am tired of hearing about fag culture games

He plagiarized the music.

This guy is singlehandedly responsible for at least 30% of all trannies that exist today. I will not be playing his game and I do not want to hear from him. Thank you

posts on fag board

hates hearing about fags

Undertale's big 10 it is then.

TOOOOOOOOOOBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

For all we know he means december 2025

sucking vtuber cocks

I want him to die
I don't care about deltarune anymore

So yeah, game has been done for months, but you can't play it until we port it for console babies and localize it for every nation. look forward to release in 2030! :3

Anon 2025 is in 2 months…

ok they're all still bangers

WAITBROS
WE'RE WAITING

CONFEIMED

proof?

THIS IS
THIS
THIS IS ME WHEN
WHEN I WAIT

Time has no meaning. To a true student, a year is as a day.

more like 12/31/25 at 11:59PM Honolulu time

Please hear me clawing at the door trying to escape the shallow coffin I have been buried in.

How schizo am I being right now

Time and time again these dripfed games just end up in an unsatisfying conclusion. Toby will make money and all the obsessed faggots will have their time wasted.

but who cares? deltarune demo is already way longer and way worse than undertale

Deltarune came out 6 years ago

he says on /fag/

It's ok, you'll probably still be alive by then.

Well, except this guy.
He's probably not going to make it, and he already knows why.

Undertale was one of the worst things to happen to the online gaming fandom.

the online gaming fandom

The what?

It's like someone who doesn't understand Earthbound making an Earthbound clone and turning the psychedelia into wacky, offputtingly gay and weird tumblr fetish art.

faggots still sucking this guys dick

Jesus christ.

he hasn't managed to use twisted time perception brought about by WAITing to make his own quirky rpg

ngmi
how can you even call yourself a gamer without knowing how to minmax

remember making "7 YEARS" shitposts back when ch1 dropped

we are going past that mark

TOBY

Earthbound was shit, too. Literally baby's first non-Pokemon JRPG for people who grew up playing almost nothing but first-party Nintendo titles and just learned how to use ZSNES.

Oh no, we're getting seven or however many practically full experiences packaged as one game instead of full priced sequels sold separately, what a fucking hack

Nah, your taste is shit.

so this means surely we are getting a trailer in december right?

7 years turn to 13 years of darkness

we're on chapter 6 chapter 2 act 2

hard mode comes out

toby [laughs]

Are you guys all little kids that a year feels like a long time to you?
Or am I just so old that years are passing like seconds

what a fucking hack

this but with complete sincerity
(you) seem to be some general-dwelling idiot, because who else would treat an episodic format as "practically full experiences"? that is just sheer delusion
a story with no conclusion is no story at all, as if modern era doesn't have enough serialized nonsense stuck in refactoring dev hells and once-a-year update cycles

We have been burdened with this knowledge for six years
Even with another year's passing we will only be halfway to the conclusion

He still has all my condolences for it taking so long, largely for factors out of his control, but this doesn't at all exceed my expectations.

bings bongo.jpg - 1400x1400, 129.94K

Will chapter 5 come out in 2026?

Chapter 1 has a beginning, middle, and end
Chapter 2 has a beginning, middle, and end
Their characters and plots have arcs and closure while building towards future stories
They have fully fleshed out worlds and content, with even endgame super bosses and optional endings
You are a retard

Don't forget: Deltarune deserves to be pirated on principle.

It's currently free with no DRM

But he said 2 was the last free chapter.

Were you under the delusion that he could be bothered to play a free game? Deltarune somehow managed to have as many secondaries as Undertale despite being free.

from hussie you were born
and to hussie you will return

chapter 3 in my tumtum yum

fuck this shitty redditslop spewing hack.

By the time we get chapters 3 and 4 it will have been 10 years since Undertale, and we will only be halfway through Deltarune

Please get me off of the Toby Fox ride

You're a bit stupid aren't you?

Most of the team has moved on to Chapter 5 already. 3&4 are already essentially finished and the thing holding them up isn't actually the localization and porting, they're waiting on GameMaker to update the engine because GameMaker was not built to handle episodically developed ~40 hour RPGs with a ton of unique assets. They want (need) to restructure the game as seven separate projects that GameMaker can load as needed because the way it handles it now means there's a lot of redundancy that will cause development complications and affect the player experience (long loading times etc.) as the project gets larger.
We don't know enough to make promises but it will NOT take another three years for one Chapter.

vacation shop.png - 1269x947, 21.39K

what about for 3 chapters because Toby said the game is going to have 7

u-uhm, aychshually, the end of a chapter is the same as the end of the whole game, also there's extra stuff so you are not allowed to complain

lay off the copium, anonymous, episodic NEVEREVER release format is hardly an unfair criticism
feel free to spout inane excuses about how more """discussion""" is better or how it would be physically impossible to finish and release a new game properly

Fanboys with such levels of coping such as you is what keeps Toby afloat after all these years despite his output being very lacklustre

because Toby said the game is going to have 7

Technically Toby hasn't specifically mentioned how many chapters the game would have.
Most statements regarding it refer to the game as if it had 3+ or 5 chapters up until the Summer news letter this year where he (seemingly) accidentally implied there'd be more than 5.
The game itself inconsistently presents a chapter select with 7 slots, and had assets for 11 chapters (0-10)

The 5 thing is because Chapter 5 will be the Roaring, and Chapter 6-7 are a "new future" where you bypass it that wasn't supposed to happen in the original timeline.
That's when the game really starts going off the rails and mystery shit starts getting revealed.

so what you're saying is the game is going to end on a cliffhanger and we'll have to wait even longer to get the actual ending

my dad work at tango foxtrot

Go outside and make friends.

Chapter 3 & 4

I thought the original plan was to come out with 3 chapters

The Roaring will be caused by Noelle (the Angel) making a dark world in an attempt to save her dad (the Angel's Heaven). It's all laid out.

The initial revised pitch after Chapter 2 was that 3, 4 and 5 would be released together next. 6 & 7 haven't been officially acknowledged as far as I'm aware but it seems reasonable to assume they were also going to be bundled together.
5 was delayed after Toby hired a project manager who made them get their shit together and prioritize releasing something ASAP. Toby hasn't said anything about the plans for 5's release, because 3&4 are the priority now. If I had to speculate, 5 will probably be a standalone stopgap release to bridge the gap between 3&4 and 6&7 as the finale.
Toby has in general refused to make any kind of commitment on releases until the thing is done, Chapter 1 was a complete surprise and Chapter 2 was announced just days before release. Since 3&4 will be a paid product and releasing simultaneously on all platforms worldwide, that short notice obviously wouldn't have been possible this time but it's still notable that he's stated next year definitively (anyone who's been following the development updates would have figured that already though).

He literally puts out a newsletter you can follow for information if you want to know anything instead of complaining on Anon Babble all day

Second post is potentially retarded, sure, first makes more sense beyond the game change thing becoming a thing, since that means they can get bug testing and translation done far easier.

It's already longer than Undertale, not counting repeating the same content in extra playthroughs
And it's only "never ever" because there's significantly more of it, which is why we're getting these separate experiences instead of one giant 50 hour game after hearing nothing about it for 12 years

I wonder what coping mechanisms or reasons will be put to use by fanboys once Toby Cox releases his game and it sucks and was not worth the half decade long wait

I walked into a thread to complain about something that doesn't exist yet because it pisses me off that bad

No but big representative portions of it do exist already, we're just not allowed to mention that because it makes the premise of the argument look dumb

Cope

console ports

Goddamnit fuck console fucks so much, we would have gotten it faster if it was only on PC

the cycle will begin anew

It will be worth the wait.

Seethe

He's just waiting for Silksong to release. Trust the plan.

Release date is out

Holy SHIT.......... I literally can't believe it. Fox did say it would take 7 years

have to wait for console ports

have to wait for japanese translation

he won't release chapter 3 on its own, have to also wait for chapter 4

probably also will have to wait until the date is lined up with some anniversary or holiday or something

Development speed goes from 3 years per chapter to 4 years for 2 chapters at once with added worldwide release and other tech bullshit weighing it down

This is somehow uniquely terrible and has been complained about for like 2 years now

And I'm supposed to believe this is organic sentiment

Console ports seemingly, as reported by Anonymous users on Anon Babble, can be done with a literal button press on GameMaker, the new cope is that it's totally GameMaker (as the company) 's fault that the release will be on 2025 instead of 2024 because of some random feature
(Also ignore the fact that Chapter 3 alone has been getting localised to Japanese for over a year and a half)

Keep sucking that fox cock

i have hope (cope) that its early 2025 and not late.
it cant be THAT far out considering all the content is complete.
follow the newsletters, nigger retard.

after hearing nothing about it for 12 years

that's a good thing, anonymous, an indie man has no hype obligations to his shareholders, and (you) as an intelligent customer should not welcome hype
the key issue is that toby "pussied out" by releasing a chapter 2, exacerbating the problem, turning chapter 1 into an "episode" instead of merely a "demo", complicating the release schedule and pricing and expectations
this is not a joke, releasing something unfinished (and even talking about), getting the attention for it, that's a psychic debuff to your commitment and resolution
why do you think so much "ongoing" stuff spins its wheels, never concludes, gets abandoned? it's not just patreon scams and shonen manga, it is hard to muster the will to finish something properly

the terrible thing that fanboys will not dare to consider, is that toby might just lose interest, or shift the "original" concept into far too different of a direction along the way, that's a good reason to never tarry with creative projects

hurdur 50 hours trust the plan

no

Console ports seemingly, as reported by Anonymous users on Anon Babble, can be done with a literal button press on GameMaker

Meanwhile Toby straight up said one of the big reasons in the OP there is Console Ports

Prove me the fuck wrong retard

Sounds like cope, meanwhile Toby is laughing at your face while he has a gook prostitute bouncing on his cock in a random love hotel in Shibuya, Japan

Yeah but I liked chapter 1 and 2, and I'll probably like 3 and 4 unless they're radically different to an improbable degree, so I don't care how mad that makes you

Do you think he intentionally made the game in 7 years because he said it would take that much and he didn't want people to say he is a liar?

or shift the "original" concept into far too different of a direction along the way

AHAHAHAHAHA.
if you truly knew why undertale and deltarune even existed in the first place you'd understand how ridiculous of a statement that is.

that's not how porting to console works at all, sometimes stuff breaks on consoles or even different computer setups even if the game runs fine on your PC for apparently no reason (and I bet the game_change thing is already causing a lot of headache due to being a core level feature)
t. developer

What

Yes, he's also incompetent and lazy

no he said that's how long he'd be willing to try to make the game by himself, but now he has a team, even if heavily mismanaged so that is no longer (much of) an issue

the new cope is that it's totally GameMaker (as the company) 's fault that the release will be on 2025

Uh, yeah. I mean you could make the argument that Toby should have had his team move to a bespoke engine for Deltarune but literally the single biggest thing holding shit up is Gamemaker being brought to its knees by Ralsei's gigantic dong.

So he admits the game is shallow

don't worry guys localization and testing won't take more than a couple months

WHERE ARE THE ASSHOLE ANONS SAYING THIS? WHERE ARE YOU NOW???? GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!!!!!

every nation

If only, Toby is a massive weeb so the only language besides English will be Japanese. So he's taking a year to translate 2 chapters to Japanese. He doesn't care about their western fans at all.

can't you guys just wait?

i also enjoyed the game so far, wouldn't be here otherwise
except i called toby a hack for the terrible awful inexcusable way the development is going, and then the whole reply chain started
in other words

u mad?

no u

trust the plan

oh hey my favourite cope
disregarding the pretentious notion that "reason the game exists" somehow totally recontextualizes undertale (it doesn't, the game works fine by itself and it needs no dumbass metanarrative ties to deltarune), you fanboys must understand that there is no such thing as some perfect idea, one that a visionary auteur snatches from the plane of forms during a delirious dream
it takes time and effort and it changes along the way, in the same way a person change over the years you would understand that if you made anything more engaging than a book report
here's a little contradiction for you to resolve, if you still don't believe: if toby's grand vision was ironclad for years, why is deltarune's hometown full of undertale's monsters, and not the dark world? did he compromise it after the titanic success of undertale?

2025 is in a month :)

Where has this changed?

Except the development's been going weirdly well given Toby's track record
You're just annoyed at having to wait to see a background mystery plotline resolved, the same way autistic tumblrites are waiting for scraps of gaster content

don't worry guys he will just release them on the 1st of January 2025 :)

No, enough of this bullshit.

I didn't say that

meem.jpg - 1920x1080, 217.46K

We got Hunter X Hunter back before this

What is the likelihood that the game is in development hell because of the people of gender he hired to his team? I'm betting there is some blackmail and manipulation from these individuals.

Literally everyone that bothered to know knows it's down to Toby being inexperienced with team management and gamemaker not being an appropriate engine for what he makes.
Ironically the same situation when he was prototyping in RPGmaker.

When Toby was making the game alone it took him 6 years to make 2 chapters, after he got a team he made 2 chapters in 3 years so it literally doubled the effectiveness.

Toby's track record

is shit so i bitch and moan about it
don't care that they are artfags on gamemaker, or that the new chapters are totally done trust me guys
i care about the results, and the results are lacking

background mystery plotline resolved

???
weird assumption, if not shameless projection
i just like my funny animal rpgs, hope that it won't go full yiik with the metanarrative nonsense (frankly the genocide route was too much of that for me)

The impatient doomer narrative is so nonsensical that it's now convincing low-info posters that this release is genuinely taking way longer than the last ones

lmao

EEUGHUIAHFGGIUHDASGUIHUIDKGH
FUCK YOU TOBY

His audience have literally grown up, nigga took so long we're getting GTA 6 before Deltarune lol

bro they're like 3-4 hours each
4 hours is not a complete game

Doing everything in chapter 2 alone is about as long as a first playthrough of undertale

gamemaker not being an appropriate engine for what he makes

I guess a 2D pixel indie game with a dozen if else statements for each NPC in the game so it keeps track of whether you spared or killed the mystery queer scrimblo is a load too heavy for poor old GameMaker

it is when it is coded in such a way where all the game dialogue is hard coded in a giant switch case statement

Whatever gay retard shit you want to tell yourself.
Spelunky HD had to hop to a bespoke engine, Derek Yu only went back when he made UFO 50 which is itself a Action 52 knockoff.

Calling MY shit gay and retarded? That is rich coming from a Toby Fox fan

this, kids who were 13 when Undertale came out and were his target audience are now 22 and are still his target audience for all the susie porn

It'll be out when it's out, and we like that.

Then obviously I'd be able to recognize it from experience.

I was in my early 20's when Toby forced me to like his shit with Undertale, and now I am 30 and I feel like I wasted my youth

When Toby was making the game alone it took him 6 years to make 2 chapters, after he got a team he made 2 chapters in 3 years so it literally doubled the effectiveness.

Liar, he had a team for chapter 2.

everyone's doomposting

meanwhile i'm just glad we have (something resembling) an actual release date

Do you smell the hopium in the air?

so that's the end of the game though right? 3 and 4 in 2025 and the game is done right?

Chapters 3 and 4 (and 5) should have released this year at the latest, if Toby Fox wasn't busy fucking VTubers and drinking beer and sake with Sakurai/ZUN/Yoko Taro

Lol
We still have chapter 5 at the least and likely a chapter 6 & 7 after.

Chapter 3 alone has been getting localised to Japanese for over a year and a half

How the fuck does it take less than a day?
Just send the game to some digital contractor and he will run through the game in a few hours

THIS FUCKING FAGGOT WEEB
IT IS GETTING DELAYED JUST SO TRANNYS AT 8-4 CAN PUT IT INTO JAPANESE
FUCK 11S
CHINA NUKE EM NOW

likely

Not anymore. Fox confirmed that there are more than 5 chapters.

B-b-b-but I didn't see that

He said chapters 3 and 4 are done and right now he is working on the next chapterS

Toby needs to overlook the script so he can make randem funni changes just for the Japanese

You will grow stronger through waiting.

More like bitter

toby is extremely autistic about the japanese translation, look at undertale's for example

Only difference is that, as far as I know, Undertale's translation did neither hold back the release of the game for months or take over a year to get done

to be fair undertale's JP translation was done well after the game already launched, while for deltarune (ch3+4) toby's trying to aim for a simultaneous US+JP launch this time

You know if they're making each chapter it's own game why the hell are they all filtering onto on chapter 5? They might as well increase the team size and have two teams each working on a chapter.

*a different chapter.

>trust the plan

oh hey my favourite cope

ahahahaha.
how silly of you anon, truly.
undertale and deltarune exist for deltarune's ending. toby has commited more than a decade of work into manifesting that one dream as reality. for him to change the ending NOW? that would be sheer insanity.

Its not that I am unwilling to wait
Its that my faith in waiting is wilting

So did all the great artists since renaissance

chapter 3 in 2025 . . . chapter 7 in 2077 . . .
