Yup, I believe the Deltarune voice clips were provided by Toby himself though.

Speaking of voices, who sings the ending theme (in Chapter 1 at least, not sure if it comes back in 2) and did they ever make a longer version of it?

The credits song is by Laura Shigihara, I don't think there's a longer version

Jevils voice can't be a sample because it's localized into Japanese by what sounds like the same voice actor (probably Toby)

The Spamton voice clips are not localized so they could be sampled, but nobody has found a source yet

All this stuff Toby is making is an amazing love letter to Mother 3 and other games we all know he is a huge nerd about. It's amazing.

I had seen this video How Mother 3 Breaks You by Super eye patch wolf.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP60Hs_Bv5o&t=752s

and the bit I timestamped at around 12:46 where you have a similar event after collecting the 3 blue checkmark sparked back into memory and hit real different as I experienced it in Toby's game. Especially the bit later when Susie and Ralsei stop on the bridge to get another look at the fireworks again.

There's an alternate route where you can manipulate Noelle into literally murdering Berdly with an ultimate ice spell. This is a real a thing you can do in the game.

Man, I only played Chapter 1 of Deltarune as a pacifist, but now that I'm hearing about the darker route in Chapter 2 I'm sorely tempted to use a second save slot to do a bad guy run, but knowing Toby Fox I'll be called out for doing that three years from now. Credit to the game that this possibility is actually making me hesitate to try it.

Yeah there's a choice box where Berdley asks

SUBS or DUBS

and if you get it wrong he shanks you and the game crashes

Apparently it has nothing to do with the first chapter and requires making a very specific set of choices during Chapter 2 itself. There’s a guide out there that was posted earlier but I forget where it is.

Yeah, but if I was going bad-guy-route I'd definitely want to also go back to chapter 1 and try there too. More to the point, I'd be worried that when chapter 3 comes out, even if I imported my pacifist save, simply having had a bad-guy save in another slot will be enough to mess things up, similar to how doing the genocide route back in Undertale essentially "tainted" your game even if you tried to play the pacifist route afterward.

As far as I’m aware, fighting everything in Chapter 1 only changes a few scenes and the ending before you leave the Dark World (it might effect some stuff in Chapter 2 as well but I won’t know until it comes out on consoles). Chapter 2 is the only one so far that has an entire alternate route devoted to it though.

The system data already notes if you've ever beaten Jevil on any file, you don't have to use save data from a file where you've won, the victory items will retrievable in Ralsei's dark world.
So a bit getting set if you do the alternate route(s) on any game that affects all your games isn't an UNlikely thing Toby would do.

I remember in Chapter 1, people discovered there was a minor difference in the first room (what item is in Asriel's drawer) depending on which save slot was used. It didn't seem to affect anything else at all, but it feels like a shot across the bow by Toby to say "Hey, I know which save slot you're using, heads up".

I would be more suspect of game fuckery if someone hinted at you taking the alternate route if you went back and did the normal route. But as it is nothing has turned up not even in the datamines.

Undertale had the Flowey conversation at the end of the ruins which made it kinda clear the game is watching. Feels like it would be a huge dick move not to signpost something like that early.

Oh yeah, you still keep everything you got in chapter 1, it's just that the game acts like you spared everybody and got that ending. None of the darkners even mention it.

I'll never understand the Chara obsession. They're like the one boring character in Undertale.

There's the videos of the fallen child that appear in the True Lab that are interesting enough, and it's kind of neat that naming the fallen child is a fake-out completely unrelated to the player character, but that's not the Chara people are trying to will into Deltarune.

Like, Gaster is a kind soul and some sort of Doc Brownian mad scientist who may or may not be trying to reclaim existence from self-deletion by maddening metaphysical means, I understand being compelled by that, but Chara is literally a creepypasta who shows up at the end to say "you did bad things and that makes you a bad person and I will make your game glitch out as punishment."

Having the same character take over another game, especially if that were to occur regardless of the player's choices, is just a bad story.

E: Making bad poo poo happen because you did bad things on a different save file might be cool, depending on how it's done, but it will not be if the bad poo poo is Chara showing up for some reason.

To me, the signpost is "having played Undertale", plus the barest acknowledgement that the game is indeed tracking all three save slots separately (also reinforced by the language the game uses if you try copying/deleting saves between slots, which acknowledges them as parallel universes, not just saves).

Don't get me wrong, it'd be a hell of a long con, but I wouldn't put it past him!

There wasn't any outward indication of the Jevil stuff carrying over in Chapter 1. I think regardless of whether anything'll happen or not based on you going down weird routes it's simply too soon to know what's planned.

Presuming that the bead represents Berdly, this sort of echoes the end of the Spamton NEO fight, where Spamton "dies" when all his strings are cut. The course of a character's life is predetermined and not under their control, and death is the only way we see characters "break free" from that. Grim stuff! Of course, we're only two chapters in, so we may see that theme evolve further over time.

Yeah probably. There's a part of me that just thinks it's college again even if that seems way too mundane considering Noelle's supposed spelling bee reaction.

But Kris can't bear to look into Asriel's dark world room either so maybe it's just that kids with troubled family situations and not many friends have very strong feelings about their older siblings who left them behind to go to college.


Ed, Edd and Eddy has the one Ed super hero worshiping his older brother and I seem to recall him being very protective of his room and belongings also when that was shown in one episode.

Prediction with exactly zero things backing it.

Instead of judging you for taking a bad route. This time in order to get the happiest possible ending you have to fully follow both the normal wholesome path and the miserable weird path. Either one on its own will leave really obvious gaps where things could if been better, but aren't.

I dont think toby is going to force players to kill berdly, for the greater good. The whole point of these good/bad routes is that you can also just not.

i assumed the antagonists being spades is a play on the saying "calling a spade a spade"
