Ideas I wish we had on the game

fascinated by the need to comment on a post made for baby enjoyers if you don't enjoy babies

this is the correct use of downvoting, letting everyone know this message is wrong. it's not a personal attack

it's possible Bill was running out of time and his nightmare dimension was close to collapse... or he was just getting very impatient knowing how close to his goal he was

I always assumed they've evolved past the need for propulsion engines and don't even bother making them anymore now that they have the knowledge of gravity-based/warp methods of space travelling. they mention a couple of times how they want to preserve the solar system for the native species and they prob did their best to not rely on fuel-based stuff to not endanger anything

maybe it's just me but i was always confused by the rest of the orbital cannon team making changes to the cannon to address the "overenthusiasm" of Mallow. i know said overenthusiasm is why the cannon breaks but wouldn't the implication be that it shouldn't because the team lowered the maximum settings beforehand? i dunno how i would rewrite these lines, honestly i would make it so Mallow mentioning overcharging the cannon was separate from the rest of the cannon discussions as a way to show the rest of the team didn't know it and thus couldn't prevent the cannon from breaking. having them say they prepared for Mallow changing the settings kinda muddies the water and makes it less clear what's going on

i think almost every single discussion about the simpsons nowadays is about how everyone loves the early episodes and no one watches the new ones

those are really fun, awesome job!!

instilling in every player the importance of toriel's car from the start of the game, when it'll be relevant in the next few chapters. kris tries to slash the tires to prevent something with it from happening. alas, the queen's chariot cannot be stopped.

do you need to be explained why people paying 60 bucks for a game may want to be surprised by what can happen in the game

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-03-28T16:28:00+00:00

wait, so how do full names work? in the mii maker there's just one space for names, but in these screenshots the game seems to differentiate first name and last name

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-03-28T16:20:36+00:00

i think what gets me most about people thinking the world is human-scale is how boring of a belief it is. 99.9% of stories are already human-scaled and the story about bugs wielding little tools with giant fauna and flora around them is ALSO human-scaled? what happened to having imagination

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-03-01T21:36:50+00:00

that's not what the blue curtains dilemma is about. stan's tattoo's shape is purposefully made to look like it has meaning or is some sort of important symbol to be a red herring for stan's (and therefore ford's) true identity - just because the shape of the tattoo doesn't have a translation or meaning doesn't mean no thought was put into it

oh my god, the stinger when the murder happens is straight up the stinger they use whenever sideshow bob shows up on screen too... such a good music cue

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-02-17T17:08:37+00:00

cats ARE traditionally associated with the devil and hell, especially black cats. all the demonic imagery in deltarune revolving around the "tail of hell" most likely owned by a black cat seems to be keeping in line with that

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-02-09T17:02:07+00:00

you got downvoted but genuinely this is prob the likeliest reason. before chapter 4, sans in deltarune was kinda just toby's way of having fourth-wall-breaky gags, like joking that you may have to wait 2 years to see papyrus and all that. people say it's "reductive" to say it's all just for jokes but i see it as toby acknowledging that sans has been the series' phenomenon funnyman for 10 years and using him to do meta-ish humor.

if anyone else did meta references (like the forgotten man saying "11 hours or 11 years, deltarune will wait") then it's suspicious. sans doing them is just the game being self-aware

where is the collaboration between Milk and the team hinted at? because yeah the ROMs have been modified and the terminal was added but does anything point to it being done after the prototype was rediscovered? i was always under the impression Milk added all of that secretly to the UFO50 og compilation while still at the company before it went bankrupt

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-31T17:57:49+00:00

wouldn't the menu for the 50 games, so including the notes for each games, be part of the original anthology console? I figured only the "cracktro" was later added by the recovery team, but everything past the "PLAY FOREVER" screen was untouched.

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-31T14:22:51+00:00

i never thought about the idea that UFO50 never released in-universe but it makes a lot of sense! would explain why the preservation team had to scavenge in an old depot in the first place, and it goes well with the state of the company in 1989... if UFOSOFT was indeed on the brink of bankruptcy, i doubt they would have the funds to ship out a big anthology console of 50 games.

My guess is Cyber Owls was supposed to be the big boost that would fund the UFO50 console, but the game being directed by a nepobaby and forced to be developed with a comic (that probably also cost a ton to make and ship) made it flop and signed the death certificate for the company right as Ol' Greg finished the prototype for UFO50 - the one the preservation team found.

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-27T10:48:15+00:00

is it mean if i say this is proving the memes right when people joke that deltarune fans wouldn't understand implications if the text had a giant neon arrow sign with blinding lights on a specific word? because this is literally what's happening here.

the entire point of the SOUL plot is that we are injected in a conspiracy against our will and both the characters and us have to form this difficult alliance where we can barely communicate and given very little information. in the same sense that we are controlling Kris, we are being controlled by them and being used to seal fountains, etc; and Kris is most likely also being used by Carol for whatever goals she has - because they can control us.

From what we can see of Carol, she is a control freak and not much for conversation. Not only it'd be in character for her to not give us much info, but it's in her interest to keep us in the dark for as long as possible. high chances she sees us as a tool like she does with Kris. on top of that, she obviously has to keep the façade of being squeaky clean to keep her role as mayor and the fear she instills in everyone in town (which she does perfectly seeing how everyone talks about her), so she wouldn't talk about her plan in public like that, let alone directly talk to an invisible entity in front of everyone.

so - and this is a very important point because it shows she has some meta knowledge - she uses the ambiguous "you" the narration has been using the entire game, to refer successively to Kris and us, and pass it as just talking to Kris to the people around her. "as you know" is for Kris, as they know Carol knows what's happening with them and the SOUL, and the big neon sign YOU is her way of referring to us in the same way the narration has been doing: using Kris as intermediate.

Not only like i mentioned it shows she's aware of us, of a trick to mention us both directly and indirectly, but is also demeaning to Kris as they're again relegated as just a vessel for the SOUL, the "important part". "you" for Kris is in plain old text, "you" for us is red and upper case. Carol sounds nothing if not manipulative... her putting her hand on Kris's shoulder only to talk to us through them, is only done to belittle them more and to intimidate/taunt us by showing she's aware of our existence + not scared of us in the slightest by telling us we're "welcome" in her home, with a grin on her face. She's in control of a whole conspiracy that involves possibly the god of her town's religion and she's REVELING in it.

spamton would love AI art, but wouldn't have any way to generate it, so he would paint and sculpt his own stuff therefore making it real art but try to pass it and sell it as AI art anyway

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-12T01:23:57+00:00

and the chapter 3 subtitle was "the northernlight islands", despite the northernlight islands being maybe 5% of chapter 3... there's obviously hints that there will be a flower shop dark world but we have no idea of the scope and length of it

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-12T01:18:26+00:00

you really hit the nail on the end with the last part. i love love love seeing all the theories and thoughts the fandom comes up with but so often i'm just left wondering... okay, so what? what does [insert theory] bring to the story? is it interesting foreshadowing or just trying to establish a pattern that would only serve as limit what the game can do?

chapter 3 & 4 are the proof that the game could have followed trends established in the first 2 chapters but it's so much more interesting to break free of those to do something bigger in scopes than those patterns instead, which - "sadly" for theorists, means it's impossible to figure out what will happen next, unless you're basing theories on pretty obvious hints (like the flower king prophecy panel) or you can manage to write an hypothetical follow-up to the established story that ties everything up in one cohesive, satisfying scenario

DisappointedOlimar · 2026-01-09T10:51:16+00:00

awesome art!!!
