The power of determination is the force that wrenches imagination into reality—beyond wishful thinking, upending cause and effect, and remaking the world’s underlying assumptions.

No tracing, no color picking.

Anyway, that’s beside the point—I’m having a really hard time trying to display an image in a PC-8801 emulator. It’s just a single image; why is it such a pain? lol

It’s such a great line, I feel like framing it.

I’m realizing my sense of things is kind of in the minority, even if it feels totally valid to me. So I’m afraid my RPG might not click with many folks. When I explained the idea to my partner, it even escalated to a “maybe we should live separately” convo, lol.

About ToriStory—when I check the play reports, I see a few returning players every single day. I’m really sorry I haven’t been able to make the next part yet… At first I thought it was just me, but it seems it isn’t. I’m hoping I’ll be able to bring you and Toriel together.

I switched just the violin to Hollywood Solo Violin, but it has so many features that I’m a bit lost, haha.

To borrow Roland Barthes’s phrases—‘the death of the author’ and ‘the birth of the reader’—it’s as if the author has crawled out of the grave to kill the newly born reader😂 That said, this is quite common.

I was trying to install a nice strings library—and the 170GB size really surprised me—but what’s more troubling is that I can’t seem to install it even though I should have plenty of free space. 😅

Three months on, my opinion hasn’t budged—not even a little—and I’m only more convinced.

Tbh I’m disappointed with how Toriel’s portrayed in Deltarune. I expected this, so didn’t play past Ch2. Some say it’s realistic, but to me and my partner, it felt like child abuse—not a healthy adult. Her character seems sacrificed for drama and attention.

UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE feel like the front and back of a Möbius strip—running in parallel yet connected to each other.

lmao

There are a few spots where even I’m not sure which render pass it is. 😅 #IndieGameDev

i love it!

Their body proportions look a bit mismatched, but since it’s just a concept, it’s totally fine!

testing...

Side views are really hard to draw…

In my opinion, the latest newsletter was really nice because it gave a glimpse into Toby’s more human side.

Fear not, my child

My wildest theory lmao

You admit you’ve never danced before. Toriel: “Do not worry. I will lead. It is only us. No need to hide.” Her hands guide you. Your steps falter… but slowly, the dance begins.

💃Ten years on, they at last dance as equals🕺 #undertale10thanniversary #happybirthdayundertale

lmao

After rendering, I realized it’s a bit hard to tell the arm from the outfit, so I might adjust the clothing color. I’d love to avoid this kind of back-and-forth😅

Seems like the theorist community is getting hurt… I feel sorry for them...😭

The characters that inspired mine—there are others too, like the shopkeepers in Popful Mail. My RPG is meant to emulate retro PC rendering. Because the post-process boils everything down to 8-color dithering, pixel art that relies heavily on mid-tones isn’t the best fit.

✨❤️Still Determined❤️✨ #undertale10thanniversary #happybirthdayundertale

Charlie Kirk, Shinzo Abe... See you, Space Cowboy…😉

I trimmed out the weaker frames and tidied things up. I’d like to think it looks a little better now💦 It might sound like a strange thought, but I feel like I actually prefer animation when it has fewer frames.

It turned out super chuunibyo and I couldn’t stop laughing😂

I didn’t mean to emphasize her chest, but...

Ten years on, and I’m still down here, as if forever—by my own choice.
