Also I guess this confirms that Deltarune will be released episodically, which is nice since I cannot wait three-four years for the Fun Gang to return

I wonder if we'll get something new even if it's minor in the Switch version like Undertale did.

Would be nice to get another tease while we wait for the next episode.

Even the trailer the showed was too spoilery imo

Nothing will beat downloading the exe on release hour

I'm not sure it confirms THAT. I thought Toby planned on releasing the other chapters simultaneously. Things do change, though. I'll be curious if more stuff is confirmed.

I already have Undertale on Steam but couldn't get into it, wanted to try again on Switch but wanted it physical. I think that ship sailed though so maybe I should just get it digitally.

Physical copies still are available to buy both in-store and online though! So if you still want to go physical you can try that!

But if you're fine with digital, the digital version is on sale in the eShop for $9.99!

Oh I assumed it was like a Limited Run thing and would be sold out by now/super expensive! Hmm. I'm from New Zealand so wont see it in stores but could just import.

I know if I get it digitally and end up liking it I'll just want to get it physically for my collection anyway haha.

I won't lie, the trainer was legit hilarious. If there's anyone who can somehow get a trailer that's half-shitposting into a Nintendo Direct, it's Toby Fox.

Nice that console players will get to experience Deltarune before the full game comes out, at least.

I'm also amazed that he made this and release it for free, console certification isn't free after all.

I think it's a bit early to be replaying deltarune, but it's just such a good game!

It's on sale right now on the eShop if you're interested!


Goddammit I literally just bought it.

And I'm really torn on it so far. I can kind of see why some people find it a bit endearing but at the same time it feels really janky and amateur enough that part of me feels like it's an elaborate internet joke to get people to play.

Toby had already been working on the concepts and ideas of Deltarune around the same time as Undertale (he has notes from around 2012 for both games), but the success of UT seemed to push him to get the concept of DR out there and in as many hands as possible, to show that it's going to be a pretty different experience, and to show that as a proof of concept its very solid and can be built off of.

I feel like for a long time after the release on PC there were LTTP's popping up going "I've played this for a few hours and don't get what people see in it", where the OP returns a week later with "OK, holy shit, never mind."

happened a bit again after the first console releases as well, especially in the OT's

Was really pleased to see this. I'm also happy to see that the Switch will get new borders...

Also, in other related news... Fangamer is now has this for preorder.

I'm sad that my OTs for the console versions never really made it to big heights lol. But I'm not giving up! I'll be there to make one for DELTARUNE Chapter 2 and on if I'm lucky.

Everyone talks about Field of Hopes and Dreams and Rude Buster. But no one talks about another amazing track imo.

I want to assume these ports mean that progress on the rest of the chapters is going smoothly?

Considering that his stuff gets advertised on Nintendo Direct I have to wonder if Nintendo cut him a deal about the entire thing.

It probably didn't that much effort to get Deltarune onto the switch.

https:///deltarune-running-on-nintendo-switch-thanks-to-homebrew/

People were able to run the demo (mostly, was still buggy) by hacking its files into the Switch version of Undertale, the two games run off the same engine after all.

Though presumably things are going smoothly if he's already thinking about the console versions.

Wonder if the PS4 version will have trophies or if it'll be treated like a demo (Which I guess it technically is).
No trophies this time (and yes, treating it like a demo). Thanks, guys - super happy we were able to get this out (and for free) - wanted to give back a little after all the console love for UT.

Finishing up the PS4 version literally as I post this - hoping to get it out by 2/28 as well, but if not, it'll be very soon afterwards.

Just to dispel any myths, if we're comparing this to, say, porting Resident Evil 2 to Switch, then sure, you could say it's not "that much effort." But otherwise, ports like this require a ton of time and resources - we've spent most of the past three months working on these, ironing out GMS bugs and compatibility issues, working with the platform holders to address console-specific needs and functions, creating and testing border functionality, fixing bugs from the PC version, testing the hell out of both ports... It's a ton of work. We're very happy we could get it ready in such a short amount of time, but I promise it wasn't easy. :)

Anyway, that's all for now - just wanted to say hi/thanks/take a 5 min break (LOL). Enjoy the game when it drops!
