I completely agree. Dam it! Why can't I give you more Karma than just one?!

In other news; Someone made a mod for Civ 5: BNW that adds in the Undertale Civilization. Here's the page if you want to go to it.

Well… that was one metaphysical finale, to say at least. It screwed my mind and the fourth wall at once, especially with that Contra-ish façade of the final-final boss.

Guess it's time to finish the game again, huh? I hope I don't fuck it up like last time, because I intend to apply the "no deaths" route seriously this time.

Who’s your favorite character?: It's one of those things that's come along where it's seriously hard to choose a favorite character. Papyrus is probably my favorite though, by a slim margin.

What do you think about the story?:
The Story is pretty great, I think, I don't see too many huge problems with it, it's a relatively simple but well done story. and has a lot of heart to it. (lol)

What do ya think of the music?:
Music is one of the best things about it. Easily a new favorite in terms of soundtrack.

What plans do you think the dev of this game has?
Hopefully more stuff, but not stuff related to Undertale. Hard to tell, but hopefully it's good.

Who’s your favorite character?

Probably Mettaton

What do you think about the story?

Competently executed in most areas but has a few places where it doesn't really work the way it should.

What do ya think of the music?

its ok

What plans do you think the dev of this game has?

I'd imagine the sales figures for Undertale are enough to convince him to stay in the gaming industry for longer then he may have initially planned. Whether he'll go the route of FNaF or take the high road remains to be seen…

• Favorite Character: Sans.
  His cool, self-esteemed personality is something very prestigious.

• What do I think about the Story? Amazing, the ludology is remarkable, it's like the game knew how to treat us as players and how to play along as a game without shame of hiding its self-awareness.

• What do I think about the Soundtrack? Lovely, I bought it as a bundle with the game, definetly worth the dosh.

• What do I expect from Toby Fox: This guy has captivated me Undertale™, I'm anxious to see his next work!

So just a quick question, has anyone mentioned the random chance phone call from Alphys you can get in Snowdin (it triggers in the same place as the secret call from Sans)

The bizarre one where she tries to order food from you?

Yeah, i was wondering if its possible for that call to trigger after Alphys upgrades your phone to have texting. and if so what does it say when see accidently sends you the picture of a catgirl.

I'm not sure, it would be pretty impressive if someone could have the time to manipulate the fun values to trigger that event. Of course, having that event triggered would mean it's somewhere in the game's code, and people have already picked through that clean.

I have a question regarding one of the Almalgamates. For reference the Check text on the reaper Bird seems to be composed of the Check text of its eh..parts (Mostly Final Froggit's) but the way its worded couple with the fact that you have to be on the true pacifist route to encounter the Almalgamates in the first place has me wondering if there is something deeper to this (or alternately if the check text foreshadows the ending of that particular route)

5 4 Undertale Fangames (Undertale related mods to PC Games)

•The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – Afterbirth
*Doom
•Civilization V
*Super Mario Bros.

I just made a mashup, you know what to do if you happened to own a tumblr account.

Game is awesome, fans are…

are…

uh…

well…
take a look

Presumably Toriel got boned by Sans!

Most of the amalgates seemed to have been designed so that there's plenty of room for interpretation of their discordant dialogue.

My question is why did everyone forgive Alphys so easily for turning their dead parents into disturbing, mentally deranged slime monsters. If I had seen my dead parents fused into some barely functioning humanoid thing that couldn't form coherent sentences, then I'd be pretty mad about it.

I'm guessing because they specifically asked for her to try and bring them back (IIRC), so they can't really be mad at her if something like this goes wrong.

I got the impression from the logs the bodies were to be used for soul research, not resuscitation.

But given the physics of monster bodies (turn to dust, vanishing souls, etc.) it seems that Alphys had to use the recently deceased and we don't know how Asgore got the corpses beyond asking about them. For all we know he might had told them that Alphys might have a way to wake up those that had "fallen down" but didn't explain further than that, but Asgore being…Asgore, prefered not to take them by force and gave them the choice.

They might be a little peeved at Asgore since he was likely the one who made the offer or they might resent themselves for accepting this, or they might just not care because at least the monsters are alive

Now that I've properly digested the Pacifist ending like the average citizen I am, it's time to be a son of a bitch with the third and last route (you know which one). This might take a while to finish.

Out of all of the AUs the fandom has created, what's your favorite?

Grouptale (And the new party members gained) and storyswitch probably. They don't ruin the mood of the game.

A new thing I noticed: In Youtube, there are no remixes of Save the World track without Hopes and Dreams! I wonder why.

Littletale is a strong contender.

I mean, just look how cute their version of Undyne is:

LOOK AT IT!

BASK IN THE CUTENESS OF OUR TINY LESBIAN FISH CHILD!

I'm honestly not sure, but mine is probably Underswap.
If I had the skills, I'd make a mod for that, I even have ideas (admittedly, most of them trying to work in what others had thought of for the setting).

New products!

I love this game! The soundtrack and character design was especially great. The story was only so-so to me. It could have had better endings, I think. The "where are they now" bit from neutral/pacifist runs feels a little disappointing and lacking in variation.

My favorite character is Muffet. It cannot remember ever seeing a character in fiction with the primary motivation being acquisition of currency who was not an absolutely despicable scumbag. Muffet was just an opportunist, and that's the end of it. She doesn't have any ancillary traits making her unlikable; in fact, she can even be friendly. Plus, she's pretty cute.

Its hard to say what my favorite song is because all of them are so good. I really enjoyed Memory/His Theme/Undertale (all basically the same song), Bonetrousle, and Spider Dance a lot more than the others though. Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans isn't in the game, but is worth listening to and would have made a really good boss fight song. I think the almost whimsical, upbeat nature of it fits Sans better than Megalovania, but Megalovania makes for a more intense fight experience. Maybe if Sans weren't the final boss the other song could have been used when you fight him.

So far it would be Partytale.

That's just how it is with like, every fandom out there, but then sometimes people go over the limits and create something way crazier than you can imagine. You'll know what I'm talking about if you visit (DON'T) e621.

This one I haven't heard of, what is it?

What Evilthing called the AU in his post. Specially an AU where none of the 6 human kids have died

Oh, another name for Grouptale? Makes sense.

Isn't grouptale the one where all the humans fall into the ruins at the same time, and partytale the one where the humans are all spread out in the underground and Frisk finds them one at a time?

"AU where none of the fallen children are dead, so instead of weapons and armor, Frisk gains party members on their journey." from this tumblr post

So, I guess it fits with the story more. Grouptale just has all seven humans fall in at once, whereas partytale assumes that all of the post-Chara humans are at least as competent as Frisk, surviving on their own until meeting Frisk.

Ah, I see.

Interesting that there are two different takes on the same twist like that.

I hope Spoopy can continue the Partytale thing.

BTW I'm wondering just how many AUs are centered around the Human Souls?

Speaking of which Blink did some Grouptale drawings as well , though I;m not entirely sure if this fits under Grouptale, partytale or both.

That would most likely be Grouptale, since Toriel is the first boss fight. Unless, perhaps, Toriel stopped all the other six humans from leaving the underground, raising them for years as her own children, rather than watching them leave and get killed by Asgore. And then Frisk shows up, throwing the entire system out of whack, convincing the others that escape from the underground is possible. Still, it doesn't feel like it fits with Partytale; maybe something in-between the two.

This panel was really moving to me.

So much of this annoys the shit out of me just watch

So I just found this Reddit post about a middle school teacher who is playing a game of Undertale with his students at lunch time. He's posting updates on their progress and how they're reacting to the game. It's neat stuff, and I thought some of you would like it.

tl;dr: Students control my actions while playing Undertale. We're at the end of the ruins, and they just got a betrayal kill on Goat Mom. No one is happy with this.

That's awesome, this is something that people should do with their friends, or students, or children, this game is convenient to play with all sorts of people.

Actually this saturday i was thinking about having my older sister playthrough the game and i was going to make a thread on KYM about it (unfortunately she is already at Waterfall since she was playing it earlier this week when she visited on Sunday so it will have to start from there) and after the Pacifist run i was going to have her go through a Genocide run

Felt sorry for you, Archaon
Here's Toby's own Mario theory that is better than MatPat.

My Mario 64 fantheory is "Tiny-Huge Island" is one letter off from "Tiny Hug Island" and that's secretly very cute

So are there any crossovers you would like to see? AUs?

1. Who’s your favorite character?
Mettaton (particularly Mettaton-EX) and Sans
2. What do you think about the story?
It was okay.
3. What do ya think of the music?
Pretty good. Especially Death by Glamour and Spear of Justice.

1 hour and 30 minutes later, I've finally defeated Undyne, the Undying. This boss battle took me four days to beat but now, it's over.

This encounter could've been much shorter if it wasn't for those goddamned yellow arrows that destroyed my concentration. Most of her attacks can be dodged easily (mostly due to trial and error and memorization of attack patterns), hell, even the cluster arrows near the end… but those yellow arrows, they might as well be the bane of my existence.

I thought the yellow arrows were easy for genocide Undyne except for one attack, since they follow obvious patterns.

Like down left down left down left, or matching the previous blue arrow.

I got a bandage-stick only pacifist run to regular Undyne then took a break when I kept dying over and over to the yellow attacks, which are much more unpredictable despite being slower.

Don't have too many coherent thoughts on crossovers right now, but could contribute on AUs a bit.
Got a few silly joke ones, one that's more serious and another one that's jokey but also a lot more fleshed out.

I do get the feeling that everything I just said has been done or is just stupid and horrible, and I wasted my time with this post but screw it, this thread's been kind of slow lately. At least tearing apart my dumb ideas would give us something to talk about, I suppose.

I would appreciate seeing more of this:

That looks like garbage.

So Danny DeVito's gonna eat it?

I think there's a certain appeal to Homestuck's style, and I like it anyway. I think it would be cool if somebody did Undertale in a Homestuck style webcomic.

Speaking of, I just learned that Toby Fox spent a portion of the development for Undertale while living in Andrew Hussie's basement. I didn't even think they would have known each-other! Crazy small world we live in.

Toby did the music for Homestuck, so of course they know each other.

Heck, he even mentions his Homestuck work on the Kickstarter page. It's what he was mainly known for at the time.
