A bit of the magic of the twitter reveal for deltarune is gone because of the fact that, when it happened, the account went completely dark, the name becoming 6 blank squares
Here's hoping someone archived it on the wayback machine! Though, knowing UTDR fans, they'd definitely do so haha
For a game I've literally beaten only TWICE, Deltarune Chapter 1 lives in my head rent-free, or as many details from it as I can cram into my brain anyways.
Sure, Chapter 2 blows it away in every single sense, but Chapter 1 has such a comfy vibe to it. Plus with added nostalgia (in and outside the game), and how much its existence changed my life in many ways, I cannot help but adore it more than Chapter 2.
I've met so many wonderful people thanks to it, made so many memories with them, became a more active person... To think that it is somehow thanks to this little demo of a game, is crazy.
And personally, I wouldn't want it any other way. Glad to have met you, friend! :3
Special thanks go to Toby Fox and his team of amazingly talented people- CHAPTER 3 WHEN
i felt that comment in so many ways oh my GOD
PEAK-CHIIMOCHII
The video reminds me of another video about the history of the series of old Counter-Strike. The man in the video urged to play, not to forget and leave it in history. And the main thing is to appreciate the emotions received in it. I felt relieved after it. But, my god, this material...
...I need to speak out.
Toby Fox with its games is a person who has had a significant impact on my life. While I may never have the opportunity to meet him in person, or to thank him directly for his work, I will forever be grateful for what he has created, from Undertale to Deltarune.
I am grateful for the times during which I played Undertale and began playing Deltarune. For waiting for the night after the release of Chapter 2,
I will never forget the range of emotions that these games have evoked in me: joy, fear, sorrow, and more. These emotions are not limited to the game itself, but extend to my daily life. The way the characters and storylines have impacted me is profound, and I will always be grateful for that.
While I cannot go into detail about how these games have influenced my life, it is worth noting that they have had a profound impact on me. It have helped me discover new interests and talents, and have connected me with people who share similar passions.
In total, I am grateful for Toby Fox and his work. Undertale and Deltarune are two games that have not only entertained me, but have also shaped my outlook on life.
And you, Pachii! Thank you for replacing the security glass in my memories display case and for creating this video!
*special thanks for reminding me that Susie is a dragon, I remembered and was surprised about da fact as I was surprised about 4 years ago*
AND, I mean not only Toby Fox BUT HIS TEAM TOO, because really, they deserve not some BUT ALL FUCKING Respect not only from me but ... yeah 😊
and the "fuck man, TOO fair enough" moment, deltarune made the author make this 2hour cinematic masterpiece(moreover, both the video material and the formed feeling after it.). Ноу квешченс энимор?
This video is wonderful bro, thank you for making it, because oh my lord I love Deltarune so fucking much.
Thank you for the wonderful video! There was always something pervasive about Chapter 1 that I couldn't quite nailed down, and I think you did a lovely job in describing that sort of feeling.
I ought to say, though, we're about as opposite as possible when it comes to our times in the fandom, and with our general experiences with the game. Fair warning, it's a bit personal, but here goes. I was pretty big on Undertale back when it came out, but until a playthrough I did last month, it had been eight years. I hadn't touched much content related to the game after it got way too big and wild for my teenage self, and pursued a bunch of other things. It was to the point that I basically entirely missed the release of Chapter 1, and simply didn't experience the reaction you detailed. In 2021 I heard more and more whispers of it, especially once Chapter 2 released (and another person in a discord I'm active in mentioned how much they loved the characters despite the server having no relation to Deltarune), and yet... I still didn't touch it. It didn't really register much in my head, and I was busy with other things. College, reeling from going back to "normal" after the pandemic, the works.
But last year was a really difficult time for me. I won't say any specifics on the matter, but it managed to upend my life more than COVID did, even though the summer of 2020 was perhaps the loneliest time of my life. Even some of my favorite games and media were just out of mind for me due to my mental state, but I got through, and started reconnecting with those things. Particularly a little game by the name of Berwick Saga, which had an English translation finished at the start of 2020, was absolutely a major crutch throughout the lonely year of its release, and therefore a game whose taste I savored upon returning to it, focusing on all the little details that brought its world to life.
This past winter and spring, the first five months of 2024, were a sort of "return to normalcy" for real. I was back in college as a really different person, struggling with heavy workloads, changes to my life, etc. Once again, I heard some offhanded mentions of Deltarune, but I was so busy with classes and a massive upcoming assignment that I could hardly think about it much. But then, after weeks of stress and cramming, I got through that assignment, around mid-April, and decided to finally try out Deltarune. I loved Undertale so much when I was a teenager, so why not?
I ended up bingeing both chapters that weekend, and it was a magical experience. It's rare for games to have that "magic" for me anymore, as you put it. That feeling that there's always something around the corner, that the world we as players are exploring is far more vast than what we see on the broad rails through which the game guides us. Funnily enough, I never got as much of that sense from Undertale, but Deltarune was a different story. All these little questions about the details of the prophecy, who the characters are, exploring the music, and just generally how imaginative and surreal the game is captured my attention.
Why did I have such a long prelude to build up a simple conclusion that "yeah, I agree with what you've said here?" To put it simply, I wasn't here for these major community milestones. I wasn't riding the hype. I didn't experience fan discords for shipping, or know what the hell a Ralsei was (now my favorite character in the game) until I finally played it. But I experienced the magic all the same, and right now, the game really feels like an "old friend" of sorts. Undertale's existence is part of why; I started playing music back when Undertale came out, and now, with years of playing under my belt, it felt familiar. It gave me a chance to reflect. But that magic, that convincing false reality which expands far beyond what is shown to my eyes, is still there, bringing to mind all these little questions that sometimes fill my head on late nights. Though entirely different games in just about every conceivable way, Deltarune pulled me in and comforted me, just like Berwick Saga did. The way Elden Ring did, whose world kept proving to me how limited my perception of its size was. The way Paper Mario TTYD did when I was a little kid, threading the line between familiar and highly imaginative. Deltarune is up there with those experiences for me.
I suppose all of this is to say, thank you. Thank you for helping me realize the vocabulary I needed to describe why this game feels so special to me, despite being something I only picked up and played through once a couple months ago.
Deltarune is such an awesome, absorbing, emotional game and man, do I love a long, thorough video about it.
aaa this is such a beautiful video!!! as someone who was there from the beginning of undertale, i can't help but have so much nostalgia and love for it! needless to say, i teared up at the end of the video lol. cant wait to see more of ur stuff! :))
Thank you so much! Im honestly glad it could resonate this much with people, I really wanted to encapsulate how important those early years were~ Hope to upload another video soon enough!
the .hack music grabbed me immediately holy moly. i have now strapped in
Those games are peak fiction ^_^
amazing video, thank you for making this, it's nice to hear how much this game still means to you even if you're not as "involved" in the modern community, and how many people have been affected by this game. a million visitors on the reddit page is quite a lot, the whole fandom feels so much smaller honestly. i still wonder how this game makes people emotional in so many ways. i remember when toby said in a qna that after undertale, he could never make another game that makes you feel "that way" again, but honestly, deltarune has made me feel much more than undertale ever did. as someone who is trying to get through depression at the moment, deltarune is one of the only things that still intrigue me, that make me feel comfortable and happy, and even if it's not gonna be able to do that forever, it is a much stronger feeling than the one toby mentioned for undertale.
I keep coming back to this comment as motivation to keep at it with my scripts. Honestly, Im glad my words could resonate with people! Hell, even a video of mine so do haha. Deltarune means a lot more to me than undertale honestly because that feeling of adventure really is something that, sure, while undertale has, isnt as detailed than deltarune per se. I hope this video was able to help out with your depression a bit, and that in general, I wish you the best with feeling and healing better! Rock on! Times may be tough, but i believe you're gonna be okay.
thank you, that means a lot! your video really has resonated with a lot of people from what i can see. it's really cool that a passion project of yours like this can mean so much to others. i wish you the best of luck with your scripts, don't feel pressured to work on them too much haha, just put as much effort in as you want. it's your own project after all. also, i can't help but wonder how much more the game will mean to us once it's finished if it already has such a strong bond with people after just 2 out of 7(?) chapters
anyone ever noticed that "my castle town" is literally the intro to neon genesis evangelion????? am I insane? is it jover for me???????
Nope! I noticed it back when I first played too haha. Honestly, I think its intentional
what an amazing fucking video. keep it up dude!
Awesome video, you have an awesome way of explaining the feeling of being a deltarune fan
This is absolutely amazing!
Thank you ^.^ Hope it was a good watch~!
@@PachiiMochii it was really good! You’re an amazing TH-camr. Keep it up!
So, I’m sitting here looking at this number, “999” wonder if I can tick it over to 1000…
I hope you enjoyed the vid! It means a lot to me that people are enjoying it as much as they are ^_^
second comment but at 1:16:08 the ralsei section is the second part in empty town and at the end of chaos king
Great catch!
I'm in the credits c: nice work
Will you do a chapter 2 retrospective
I intend to! There's a lot about chapter 2 that I want to speak about that's fitting for its own video, and I already have an idea in mind for the title. Reasonably, I celebrate deltarune each halloween so Ill be capturing chapter 2 footage this halloween! Probably a 2025 video at best, but im definitely gonna be doing it! Everything from here will be smaller and other projects.
Is this channel gonna have a more consistent upload schedule? Cause it seems very slow and erratic from what I can see. Idk though I only have the yrs.
Yep! I intend to upload far more~ The main reason I've been all over the place honestly just has to do with being in education plus demotivating. But I'm gonna be more consistent for sure!
@@PachiiMochii is it gonna be chapter 2 retrospective next?
@@rfurthegamer3412 Nope! That's a video for the future - in time, ill collect my thoughts about chapter 2, because there's a ton i really want to discuss about that chapter. Next CRT Dreams will be smaller~
