The whole Deltarune situation is fascinating because usually what happens with indie game developers is they try to do the Big Passion Project that's been brewing in the back of their brain for the last twenty years as their very first major undertaking – and if they're extremely lucky, they don't burn themselves out in the process! – but Toby Fox didn't do that.

Instead, he deliberately started with a much more modest game that was essentially a scaled down AU version of the Big Passion Project, mostly as a way of teaching himself the ins and outs of game development, with no real expectation of broad appeal, but then that practice project proved to be immensely popular.

So basically what we're seeing now is what happens when an indie dev is able to approach their Big Passion Project – the one that most indie devs burn their brains out trying to tackle solo – with access to a team and a budget, and, um, well

I have to confess that the results are thus far a little concerning!

Wait, he was planning to make Deltarune originally, and Undertale is the AU?

According to Mr. Fox, yes – he'd apparently been working on scripts and concept art for Deltarune at least as far back as 2012, and Undertale was conceived of during Deltarune's concepting stage essentially as a test run for his development process – something to help work the kinks out before doing it for real. The fact that it made enough money for him to quit his day job and hire a team to work on Deltarune full time was an unexpected bonus.

I wanted to reserve my judgement until I finished watching Steven Universe but now that I have. Why the fuck is there so much discourse. This is literally just a normal kids show. With an insane amount of good queer rep AND erasing gender roles in a way thats still groundbreaking today. Even with the complaint of the series finale being rushed, if you go into it with the knowledge that it got cut short so they had to cram it, that satisfies most of my Media Critique. You are all being insane about this for no good reason.

Its honestly so funny how people who are mourning the queen's death are so pigshit stupid that they end up saying shit thats wayyyy more tasteless than all of the normal people making fun of her.

Mcdonalds putting up a branded menu variant about her funeral, some sextoy website having a funeral banner up, her funeral footage accidentally capitalizing the words "Among Us", crossfit including a minute of silence in their daily workout plan, people lining up for 30 hours to go look at a box that maybe has a corpse in it, Guantanamo bay putting the mcdonalds flag at half mast, the royal family fanblogs posting sad bitmojis and the thomas jefferson miku binder artist seriously arguing that she's gonna reincarnate as a horse are all infinitely funnier forms of mockery than I'd ever be able to come up with
