As teased yesterday by Toby Fox, creator of the mega-hit indie game Undertale, his next project has been revealed as a game called Deltarune. The short game is a free download for Windows and OSX, and appears to be a working demo that is being used as a teaser, rather than a full experience. Its title, Deltarune, is also a reference to Undertale, being an anagram of the latter's name as well as the visuals sporting callbacks to certain moments from the 2015 game. Toby Fox claims that he wishes to begin a new game, and that this teaser was released to garner player feedback. On the download page, you can see "warnings" that tell the player to "refrain from discussion" until 24 hours have passed, and "accepting everything that will happen from now on". If you run the free game, it'll notably trigger Windows Defender, to which you'll have to disregard the message it gives you, and run it anyway. Right now it's not known what entirely this game is composed of, but if you're a fan of Undertale, it could be a fun Halloween treat.

* 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.

Toby Fox explicitly said it was a demo and subject to change in the full release.

Huh, guess I was wrong.
That explains version number 0.6.6.6.

Edit: I actually realised that the number is 666, and since it was halloween, this has nothing to do with version numbers.

I can't decide whether I liked this or Undertale better.
Speaking of, even though I completed Undertale I should have played it again, only with the peaceful ending...

You should.

Where did he say that exactly?

I'd love to see a home brew port (that or an Android release).

A guy ported it to Switch already, download link is on his twitter.

Just finished the demo, it was quite fun, and feels like a good upgrade from Undertale. Also, Ralsei is adorable. I'm looking forward to the full game, whenever that may be.

"Is this the game's final design? Will you change anything?"

It's possible I could change things. This is basically a demo. I might even change this first chapter before release depending on how development goes.

OH MY GOD I HATE THAT BOSS
Just make sure you repair the TOP CAKE and get some food from the shops (70HP is recommended).

Already did that

but the guy can take 70 HP from all my guys in a single turn sometimes, and when that happens twice in a row I'm pretty much screwed. The attack patterns are too haphazard for me to avoid.

And here's a linux build:
https://transfer.sh/E1goi/deltarune_linux2.tar

I exported a Linux binary from a blank GM:S project and a friend figured out where to move everything so it all works (which took more time than you'd think)
Some of the audio files still won't play as it can't find them, not sure what the issue is but if anyone figures out a way to get those to work let me know. That should all be fixed now, it was a simple uppercase/lowercase issue. Link updated.

Nothing you can do but git gud, I'm afraid. You don't need to perfectly dodge everything, but if you can get it to where attacks will generally hit you at most once, it's fairly easy to heal and keep doing damage/ACT.

Just played 80 minutes of it, got bored, unninstaled. It's more of the same and the jokes are not even funny.
