I seriously wonder what toby fox is up to now. Dude went from zero to a freaking superstar
Hopefully working on another game.
I think I remember reading he wasn't interested in making a sequel? Can't recall 100%.

I would rather see him doing a new game instead. Undertale is as perfect as it is, better leave it alone.

I believe there are stretch goals on the kickstarter that he hasn't done yet, one of them is a comic. Not sure if that is backers only or what, not that it would stay that way very long if it were...

Believe he already started the "Game shrouded in mystery" that was a goal in the Undertale kicker starter. So maybe that's next but I imagine the comic will come first.

Me too. "Asgore" is pretty much perfection in the "shape" of a song.

Via the game vinyl thread, iam8bit is releasing a vinyl of the Undertale OST, $35.
I like that the inside artwork has Gaster.

I'm pretty sure he was testing to see if Undertale could run on Linux. And I figure he'll get to doing that comic and 'game shrouded in mystery' eventually now that he's had a year to break from working on the game and see response to the game over the year.
On one hand, he probably has enough money to live it easy for quite some time if he wanted to and used it wisely. Like even using safe estimates, he has earned at least over $10 million USD from Undertale, if not a few more million than that. On the other hand, I do sense he's a creative type and has ambitions outside of money he wants to achieve. Now that he could potentially be set for life (if he uses the money wisely), once he does the few Kickstarter reward responsibilities he's basically free to do whatever he wants development wise. No matter what he worked on, it's going to be the second game by the developer of Undertale and gain a lot of exposure on that alone, and even if it wasn't a smash-out hit he'd still be able to get by. But I do think he wants to make more and now maybe is more relaxed in his vision of whatever he chooses to do going forward since he doesn't have to worry as much about A.) people liking a thing he's made, and B.) financial concerns for the forseeable future. On the other hand, he might be really contemplating over it since... Well, he has to follow up the smash-out success of Undertale.
But I do think he's probably working on a few small things to wrap up Undertale's success and the Kickstarter rewards, and if possible to port it over to Linux. and then after that, he strikes me as a type who'll want to make another game rather than just sitting on the one successful game he made. The creators spirit is never satisfied with just one success.

So bought.
I don't even own a turntable yet. This might be the thing that finally pushes me to.

Also it seems there was a feature to show how long you played the game and if you completed it quickly...

Happy anniversary Undertale! Thanks for being a great game. Like I promised myself, I'll probably try to replay it tonight or this weekend.

Anyone listen to the excellent remix album from Japan? Toby posted it on his Twitter and it is absolutely fantastic:
http://underveil.unisphere.tv/
Can't really pick a favourite track, they're all great. There's an excellent Bonetrousle remix

Is dubstep popular in Japan?
I only seem to post in this thread remixes and stuff, but this is the craziest, most amazing performance I've seen of Undertale music:
DiscoCactus - Hotland Express (Live at MAGFest)

Yep, pretty popular. A lot of mainstream artists (especially find it among the rock/metal area) like incorporating dubstep elements into their songs, and a lot of the popular music games in Japan have a decent amount of dubstep songs in them.

Figured I'd just post in here instead of making an Lttp thread.
Anyway, after taking the route of sparing every monster possible, today I beat the game with the ending where
I take it this is the best "happy" ending? Of course, it was more like a bunch of endings. Heh. Imagine if you stopped the first time the game
, that'd be pretty dark.
In any case, the experience was really wonderful. As a fan of games like Mother 3, it's no surprise that I'd feel right at home here.

Asriel becomes good again, breaks the barrier, and all the monsters are set free. It's like Earthbound where you can walk around and talk to everyone before leaving the underground.

Well I know there's an ending for when you fight instead of spare. I just don't think I'm ready to replay the game yet.
Guess you could say I'm saving that one.

There are in the greater scheme of things 3 endings, you got the pacifist one, the neutral ending has about 12 variants depending if you kill and who you kill.
Some are dark, some are funny and some are disturbing.

Even with the pacifist ending, there were plenty of disturbing parts. Mostly involving Flowey. If they go further than that then, man, this game really knows how to mess with your emotions. I'm looking forward to a replay.
Also, just to be clear, I still technically
Seemed like the game did that as a way of forcing the player's hand.
Some of what the game does when it "remembers that you loaded a save" is interesting, to say the least.
It was funny when Flowey shook his finger at me after the reload. "I saw that." Heh. But I'm glad I stuck with pacifism.
Also, just to be clear, I still technically
had to kill Toriel in the beginning and attempt to kill Asgore at the "end" right? There were no other options?

Ah okay. I guess I was still getting my bearings on the mechanics at that point. Since that action opens up a new dialogue in the battle, I figured it was necessary to proceed (to show what the player was capable of).

The implications of the genocide ending are so frighting, I can't even think about it. It's the most soul crushing I've felt. Not that I have gone through that route ever.Best ending is genocide ending, though

Bumping this thread one more time.
After looking into it I'm pretty sure I got the neutral ending and the pacifist ending in a single run. The neutral ending boss is
and the pacifist ending boss is
. After completing the former, you get to reload and go for the latter as well.
straight up tells you to. Unless I'm missing something. That's just the way the game is designed if you're going for the "true pacifist" ending on the first run, and I'm thankful for it.
So, I guess for new players a little tip is, if you want to go for true pacifism, you can kill two birds with one stone and get 2/3 of the endings.
Also, I never chimed in on the soundtrack. It's GREAT! But I do find it hilarious how much of the game's sounds and tunes are inspired by or almost ripped directly from Earthbound.

Yep. And it's not even a matter of looking up a walkthrough. The game itself encourages you to go for the better ending if you've met the requirements. I LOVE that. Kudos to Toby.
Yeah, I did that too. Was surprised people didn't know about that when I posted about it here.
Yeah, it's impossible to get Pacifist as your first ending. You can't
until after you've seen the Neutral Ending at least once.
If you've stayed Pacifist otherwise, you're able to reload your save and do the above instead of having to start over the entire game.
befriend Alphys and do the True Lab

Need to bump this for the David Pumpkins/Undertale mash up.

Technically speaking, pacifist neutral and pacifist true are not 2/3 of the endings given that there are about 8 or so more neutral endings.
At first, I was like why is this?
But then I saw the original

Man, I love old toy ads.
I can certainly restrain myself from the new shirts. I think so far the one I want is Papyrus.

I really want the Undyne tank top, lol.
I want to say I started enjoying it after the Undyne fight, no joke. I would give it another hour after that but if it's still not doing anything for you, feel free to dump it.
