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.
