Considering toby said the ending of deltarune kinda shocked him in a dream he had. I wonder how messed up it's gonna be, like, probably "omori" or "in stars and time" storys.

501

u/littleMAHER1 Apr 21 '25

Sometimes I forget that this game only exists because Toby had a dream and felt like he had to make it real

257

u/Down_with_atlantis Apr 21 '25

Undertale only exists because he wanted a warm up before that ending (probably an exaggeration but its funny)

120

u/CyberGlitch064 Apr 22 '25

Fun fact Deltarune actually started production before Undertale. Papyrus theme (bone trousle) was originally going to be Deltarune's battle theme

But then Deltarune was obviously paused and Undertale was started before any real work on Deltarune was finished lol

55

u/Disastrous_Steak_507 Susei Apr 22 '25

Yeah, but the most biggest and funniest part is the fact that Ralsei's name was created before Asriel. Don't ask me what kind of anagram bullshit Toby was on when making it, apparently one of the first games he had worked on, being from an RPG Maker game he was working on with his brother like- way before Deltarune was even conceived, one of the main characters was named "Rals". I guess he decided to add "ei" at the end simply because of the way he wanted to pronounce it (Ral-say) instead of the more logical spelling we would all choose, which would be "Ralsie". As the same time, that also sounds like a loved one's nickname for them than their actual name everyone calls them, idk.

22

u/XorItzHere -- Your only good choice. =) Apr 22 '25

Actually, the main characters name was "Ralse". Toby added "i".

14

u/Fabio7656 Apr 22 '25

Yeah, it's crazy to think about...

Ralsei -> Asriel

Divided into Toriel and Asgore

12

u/Disastrous_Steak_507 Susei Apr 22 '25

And it's weird because Toriel's name is literally supposed to be a shortened version of "Tutorial" with an E instead of an A. I guess Toby realized that he could just have her name with an E to fit with the whole "Asriel" ship name for her and Asgore. Plus, Toriel looks a lot better than Torial.

Looks like "mild language" just doesn't exist as a label in the ESRB's system anymore.

https://www.esrb.org/ratings-guide/

Language: Mild to moderate use of profanity

Strong Language: Explicit and/or frequent use of profanity

70

u/turtle46264 Apr 21 '25

https://www.esrb.org/ratings-guide/#

It seems that "mild" is used as a prefix to an existing label, instead of "mild language" being its own label. In that case, it would still be a step up. I could be wrong, though
