Outside of some artwork, Fox pimped tha entirety of tha game by his dirty ass, includin tha script n' beatz. Drop dis like itz hot!

Several gamin publications n' conventions listed Undertale as game of tha year. Da first chapta of a related game, Deltarune, was busted out up in October 2018.

Gameplay

Undertale employs a employs a cap hell /turn-based hybrid combat system up in which tha playa controls tha ass, gittin tha fuck aaway from attacks from enemies up in between fighting, acting, healing, or showin mercy.

Undertale be a role-playing game dat uses a top-down perspective.[3] In tha game, playas control a cold-ass lil lil pimp n' complete objectives up in order ta progress all up in tha story.[4] Players explore a underground ghetto filled wit towns n' caves, n' is required ta solve a shitload of puzzlez on they journey.[4][5] Da underground ghetto is tha home of monsters, nuff of whom challenge tha playa up in combat;[5] playas decizzle whether ta kill, flee, or befriend dem wild-ass muthafuckas.[4][6] Chizzlez made by tha playa radically affect tha deal n' general progression of tha game, wit tha playaz moralitizzle actin as tha cornerstone fo' tha gamez pimpment.

When playas encounta enemies up in either scripted events or random encounters, they enta a funky-ass battle mode. Durin battles, playas control a lil' small-ass ass which represents they soul, n' must stay tha fuck away from attacks unleashed by tha opposin monsta similar ta a cap hell blaster.[4][5] As tha game progresses, freshly smoked up elements is introduced, like fuckin colored obstacles, n' boss battlez which chizzle tha way playas control tha ass.[7] Players may chizzle ta battle tha enemy, which involves timed button presses. Bustin' enemies will cause tha playa ta git EXP (in turn increasin they LOVE) n' gold.[8] They can use tha ACT option ta check a enemyz comin' at n' representin' attributes as well as big-ass up various other actions, which vary dependin on tha enemy.[4] If tha playa uses tha right actions ta respond ta tha enemy, or attacks dem until they have low HP (but still kickin it) they can chizzle ta spare dem n' end tha fight without cappin' dem wild-ass muthafuckas.[9] For some boss encountas ta be completed peacefully, tha playa is required ta survive until tha characta they is facin has finished they dialogue. Da game features multiple rap branches n' endings dependin on whether playas chizzle ta bust a cap up in or spare they enemies; n' as such, it is possible ta clear tha game without cappin' a single enemy.[10]

Monstas will rap ta tha playa durin tha battle, n' tha game will tell tha playas what tha fuck tha monsterz vibe n' actions are.[11] Enemy attacks chizzle based on how tha fuck playas interact wit them: should playas chizzle non-violent options, enemy attacks is easy as fuck , whereas they become hard as fuck if playas chizzle violent options.[5][11] Da game relies on a fuckin shitload of metafictional elements up in both its gameplay n' story.[12] When playas participate up in a funky-ass boss battle on a second playthrough, tha dialogue is ghon be altered dependin on actions up in previous playthroughs.[13]

Plot

Undertale takes place up in tha Underground, a realm ta where monsters, once equal ta humans, was banished afta war broke up between dem wild-ass muthafuckas. Da Underground is sealed from tha surface ghetto by a imslick magic barrier, tha only point of entry bein at Mount Ebott.[14] A human lil pimp falls tha fuck into tha Underground n' encountas Flowey, a sentient flower whoz ass teaches dem tha gamez mechanics n' encourages dem ta raise they "LV", or "LOVE", by bustin "EXP" all up in cappin' monsters.[d] When Flowey attempts ta cappin' tha human ta take they ass fo' his dirty ass, tha human is rescued by Toriel, a motherly goat-like monster, whoz ass teaches tha human ta solve puzzlez n' survive conflict up in tha Underground without cappin'. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Biatch intendz ta adopt tha human, wantin ta protect dem from Asgore Dreemurr, tha mackdaddy of tha Underground.

Da human eventually leaves Toriel ta search fo' Asgorez castle, which gotz nuff tha barrier leadin ta tha surface ghetto. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Along tha way, tha human encountas nuff muthafuckin monsters, includin tha skeletons Sans n' Papyrus, two brothers whoz ass act as sentries fo' tha Snowdin forest; Undyne, tha head of tha royal guard; Alphys, tha mackdaddydomz royal scientist; n' Mettaton, a robotic televizzle host Alphys pimped. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some of dem is fought, wit tha human havin ta chizzle whether ta bust a cap up in dem or ta show mercy; should tha human spare them, they may chizzle ta become playas. Durin they travels, tha human learns tha cause of tha war between humans n' monstas fo' realz. Asriel, tha lil hustla of Asgore n' Toriel, befriended tha straight-up original gangsta human lil pimp whoz ass fell tha fuck into tha Underground n' was adopted by Asgore n' Toriel. One day, tha lil pimp capped theyselves by smokin poisonous flowers. When Asriel returned they body ta tha humans, they beat down n' fatally wounded him, resultin up in Asgore declarin war fo' realz. Asgore now seeks ta break tha barrier, which requires his ass ta collect seven human souls, of which dat schmoooove muthafucka has six.

Da gamez endin dependz on how tha fuck tha playa resolved encountas wit monsters.[10][e] If tha playa capped some but not all monstas (or on a gangbangin' first playall up in where tha playa capped no monsters), tha human arrives at Asgorez castle n' learns dat they also need a monsterz ass ta cross tha barrier, forcin dem ta fight Asgore. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Sans stops tha human before they confrontation, revealin dat tha humanz "LOVE" be a acronym fo' "level of shit" n' "EXP" fo' "execution points." Sans judges tha human based on tha combined resolution of tha encounters. Da human fights Asgore yo, but Flowey interrupts them, cappin' Asgore n' jackin tha human souls. With tha aid of tha rebellin souls, tha human defeats Flowey, falls unconscious, n' awakens on tha human side of tha barrier; they receive a funky-ass beeper call from Sans, explainin tha state of tha Underground afta tha humanz departure. This endin is referred ta as tha "Neutral" ending, n' has nuff different epilogue beeper calls dependin on how tha fuck nuff monstas done been capped n' whoz ass tha playa has spared.

If tha playa instead kills no monstas n' has completed a previous (passive neutral) playall up in of tha game,[17] Flowey is revealed ta be a reincarnation of Asriel, pimped as part of Alphyss experiments, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Toriel intervenes before tha human fights Asgore n' is joined by tha other monstas tha human has befriended. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Flowey ambushes tha group, re-takin all tha human souls n' tha soulz of all tha monstas ta take a olda Asrielz form ta fight tha human. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da human connects wit they freshly smoked up playaz durin tha fight, eventually triumphin fo' realz. Asriel reverts ta his fuckin lil pimp form, destroys tha barrier, n' expresses his bangin remorse ta tha others before leaving. Da human falls unconscious n' be awoken ta peep they playaz surroundin them, wit tha knowledge of tha humanz name �" Frisk. Da monstas reintegrate wit tha humans on tha surface, while Frisk has tha option of acceptin Toriel as they adoptizzle mutha n' shit. This route is referred ta as tha "Pacifist" or "True Pacifist" route.

Another endin ensues if tha playa kills all monstas -known as tha "Genocide" route-[13][17] up in which Frisk becomes hyped up by Chara, tha fallen human lil pimp whose body Asriel attempted ta return, so check it before ya wreck it. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. When Frisk reaches Asgorez castle, Sans attempts ta stop dem yo, but Frisk kills his muthafuckin ass. Flowey kills Asgore up in a attempt ta git mercy yo, but Frisk executes Flowey anyway. Da fallen human lil pimp assumes control and, wit or without tha playaz consent, destroys tha universe. To enable further replayz of tha game, Frisk must first give they ass ta tha fallen human lil pimp up in exchange fo' restorin tha universe, which will permanently alta every last muthafuckin subsequent Pacifist run.

Development

Charactas Frisk n' Toriel up in promotionizzle art used up in tha Kickstarta campaign

Undertale was pimped by Toby Fox across 32 months.[18] Development was financed all up in a crowdfunding campaign on tha joint Kickstarter. Da campaign was launched on June 25, 2013 wit a goal of US$5,000; it ended on July 25, 2013, wit US$51,124 raised by 2,398 people.[19] Undertale's creation ensued afta Fox pimped a funky-ass battle system rockin tha game creation system GameMaker: Studio.[20] Dude wanted ta pimp a role-playin game dat was different from tha traditionizzle design, which he often found "borin ta play".[21] Dude set up ta pimp a game wit "interestin characters", n' dat "utilizes tha medium as a storytellin thang ... instead of havin tha rap n' gameplay abstractions be straight-up separate".[21]

Fox hit dat shiznit on tha entire game independently, besides a shitload of tha art; da ruffneck decided ta work independently ta stay tha fuck away from relyin on others.[18] Fox had lil experience wit game pimpment; he n' his cold-ass three brothers often used RPG Maker 2000 ta make role-playin games, though few was eva completed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. Fox also hit dat shiznit on nuff muthafuckin EarthBound ROM hacks while up in high school.[21] Temmie Chang hit dat shiznit as tha main artistic assistant fo' tha game, providin most of tha sprites n' concept art.[22][23] Fox has holla'd dat tha gamez art steez wannaly remain tha same if dat schmoooove muthafucka had access ta a larger crew of artists yo. Dude found dat "therez a psychedelic thread dat say crews become mo' attached ta charactas drawn simply rather than up in detail", particularly benefitin from tha use of visual gags within tha art.[24]

Game design

Da defensive segment within tha battle system was inspired by tha Mario & Luigi series, as well as cap hell blastas like fuckin tha Touhou Project series.[25] When hustlin on tha battle system, Fox set up ta create a maniac dat da thug would personally enjoy.[26] Dude wanted Undertale ta git a funky-ass battle system equally engagin as Supa Mario RPG (1996) n' Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003). Fox did not want grinding ta be necessary at any point up in tha game, instead leavin it optionizzle ta playas yo. Dude also did not wish ta introduce fetch quests, as they involve backtracking, which da ruffneck dislikes.[18] In termz of tha gamez difficulty, Fox ensured dat dat shiznit was easy as fuck n' enjoyable yo. Dude axed some playaz whoz ass is inexperienced wit cap hell blastas ta test tha game, n' found dat they was able ta complete it yo. Dude felt dat tha gamez hang-up is optimal, particularly thankin bout tha complications involved up in addin another hang-up setting.[27]

Da gamez dialogue system was inspired by Shin Megami Tensei (1992),[25] particularly tha gameplay maniac whereby playas can rap ta monstas ta stay tha fuck away from conflict. Fox intended ta expand upon dis mechanic, as failin ta negotiate resulted up in a requirement ta fight. "I wanna create a system dat satisfied mah urge fo' poppin' off ta monsters," da perved-out muthafucka holla'd.[5] When his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started pimpin dis mechanic, tha concept of completin tha game without cappin' any enemies "just evolved naturally".[28] But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat he never considered removin tha option ta fight all up in pimpment.[28] When dissed on tha hang-up of playin tha game without cappin', Fox responded dat it is "the crux of one of tha major themez of dis game", askin playas ta be thinkin bout it theyselves.[28] Despite not havin played it, Fox was inspired by tha conceptz of Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (1997), which involved tha playa repairin tha damage of tha "Hero" n' increasin they "Ludd Level" by helpin playas instead of hurtin dem wild-ass muthafuckas.[29]

Freestylin

Accordin ta Fox, tha "idea of bein trapped up in a underground ghetto" was inspired by tha vizzle game Brandish.[23] Fox was kinda hyped up by tha sillinizz of internizzle culture, as well as comedy shows like Mista Muthafuckin Bean.[18] Dude was also inspired by tha unsettlin atmosphere of EarthBound.[18] Foxz desire ta "subvert concepts dat go unquestioned up in nuff games" further hyped up Undertale's pimpment.[28] Fox found dat tha freestylin became easier afta establishin a cold-ass lil characterz voice n' vibe. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! I be fly as a gangbangin' falcon, soarin all up in tha sky dawwwwg! Dude also felt dat bustin tha ghetto was a natural process, as it expressed tha storiez of dem within dat shit.[24] Fox felt tha importizzle ta make tha gamez monstas "feel like a individual".[25] Dude cited tha Final Fantasy series as tha opposite; "all monstas up in RPGs like Final Fantasy is tha same ... there be a no meanin ta that".[25]

Da characta of Toriel, whoz ass is one of tha straight-up original gangsta ta step tha fuck up in tha game, was pimped as a parody of tutorial characters. Fox straight fuckin disliked tha use of tha companion characta Fi up in Da Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, up in which tha lyrics ta puzzlez was often revealed early. Fox also felt dat role-playin vizzle game generally lack mutha characters; up in tha Pokémon series, as well as Mother n' EarthBound, Fox felt dat tha mothers is used as "symbols rather than characters".[21] In response, Fox intended fo' Torielz characta ta be "a momma dat hopefully acts like a mom", n' "genuinely cares" bout playas' actions.[21]

Noize

"Hopes n' Dreams" [30][31] "Hopes n' Dreams", a cold lil' woo wop from one of tha gamez final boss fights, was praised fo' reintroducin nuff of tha gamez previous themes up in a gangbangin' finger-lickin' different style. Problems playin dis file, biatch? See media help.

Da gamez soundtrack was entirely composed by Fox wit FL Studio.[32] A self-taught musical muthafucka, his schmoooove ass composed most of tha tracks wit lil iteration; tha gamez main theme, "Undertale", was tha only cold lil' woo wop ta undergo multiple iterations up in pimpment. Da soundtrack was inspired by noize from Supa NES role-playin games,[18] like fuckin EarthBound,[33] as well as tha webcomic Homestuck, fo' which Fox provided some of tha music.[18] Fox also stated dat tha pimpin' muthafucka tries ta be inspired by all noize he listens to,[26] particularly dem up in vizzle games.[33] Accordin ta Fox, over 90% of tha joints was composed specifically fo' tha game.[20] "Megalovania", tha cold lil' woo wop used durin tha boss battle wit Sans, had previously been used within Homestuck n' up in one of Foxz EarthBound ROM hacks.[31][34] For each section of tha game, Fox composed tha noize prior ta programming, as it helped "decizzle how tha fuck tha scene should go".[20] Dude initially tried rockin a noize tracker ta compose tha soundtrack yo, but found it hard as fuck ta use yo. Dude ultimately decided ta play segmentz of tha noize separately, n' connect dem on a track.[33] To big-up tha one year anniversary of tha game, Fox busted out five unused musical works on his Snoop Bloggy-Blogg up in 2016.[35] Four of tha gamez joints was busted out as straight-up legit downloadable content fo' tha Steam version of Taitoz Groove Coaster.[34]

Undertale's soundtrack has been well received by muthafuckas as part of tha success of tha game, up in particular fo' its use of various leitmotifs fo' tha various charactas used all up in various tracks.[36][37] In particular, "Hopes n' Dreams", tha boss theme when fightin Asriel up in tha run-all up in where tha playa avoidz cappin' any monster, brangs back most of tha main characta themes, n' is "a slick way ta cap off yo' journey", accordin ta USgamerz Nadia Oxford.[31] Oxford notes dis track up in particular demonstrates Foxz mobilitizzle at "turnin oldschool joints tha fuck into straight-up freshly smoked up experiences", used all up in tha gamez soundtrack.[31] Tyla Hickz of GameSpot compared tha noize ta "bit-based melodies".[38]

Da Undertale soundtrack had frequently been covered by various stylez n' groups fo' realz. As part of tha five year anniversary of tha game, Fox streamed footage wit permission of a 2019 gangbang of tha Undertale joints performed by Music Engine, a orchestra crew up in Japan, wit support of Fangamer n' 8-4.[39]

Because of tha larger scope, he anticipates gettin a crew ta help pimp Deltarune, n' has no anticipated timetable when it is ghon be completed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka!
