Now that Deltarune is out and everyone had a chance to play it, creator Toby Fox has talked in greater detail about his plans for the game. And how in its current scope, it’ll be impossible to finish by himself.

Fox released a Twitlonger post recently, talking about his plans for the future game. The biggest bit of information about this is that he believes the game is too ambitious to do alone.

“Given the length of the rest of the game, and how long I’d be willing to spend on a project (7 years maximum) I think the answer is that it’s actually impossible to make this game.
. . .
So I’m going to try making a team. Because I really want to make this. But I may not be able to succeed because I have no experience successfully directing a team and I have no idea who I’m going to work with.
. . .
Since I haven’t started assembling the team yet I have absolutely no estimation of its completion. It could take up to 999 years depending on the efficiency level.”

It’s not too clear how many people, nor who, Fox is looking for.

Toby Fox has also stated that there will NOT be a Kickstarter for Deltarune. He says that this is because he’s still struggling with meeting the backer rewards for Undertale.

Undertale has risen from the darkness to confuse the heck out of me. Creator Toby Fox has released a new game, referred to as Deltarune, and it’s.. something.

It began with a number of all caps tweets from the Undertale Twitter. Worded like a cryptic discussion, it concluded in a link to a website, deltarune.com.

Upon visiting the link, viewers are greeted with a warning message, quoted below.

WELCOME.
PLEASE READ
THESE FINAL
WARNINGS.
THEN, TAKE
IT IN YOUR
HANDS.

* THERE MAY BE MOVING OR FLASHING IMAGERY.
* YOU MAY HAVE TO OVERRIDE SECURITY PROTOCOLS TO USE THE PROGRAM.
* FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU ARE ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM FOR 24 HOURS.
* YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON.

Sure enough, viewers can then download a game installer.

Unfortunately, I‘m not going to tell you what the game actually is. Upon starting, it’s requested that no one reveal the contents of the game for at least 24 hours. After a brief battle between respect for developers and my journalistic integrity, I decided to respect Fox’s wishes. If you want to know, you’ll have to play for yourself.

There are a few things I feel comfortable telling you.

The first is that the deltarune is not a new idea to the Undertale lore. It appears in the game as a symbol, notably on Asriel’s chest. The second is that the game may ask for security permissions. This may be alarming, but it’s nothing to fear over. It is currently speculated that it is from the game checking the PC system clock.

I haven’t played through the game in it’s fully just yet, but I have started. Though with what I’ve heard, it’s best that you play through it while you can and avoid the internet spoiling it for you.

The game is free, by the way. You can download it at Deltarune.com.

UPDATE:

In the original article, I stated that The game accesses the original Undertale game data, causing the security check. This has since been proven false, and the article has been updated accordingly.
