It's been over a month since Toby's last development update, at what stage do you think Chapter 5 of Deltarune is currently at? It's already been in testing for 2 weeks now, how long do you think it will last? The chapter probably has, at most, 8 hours of content, how long could that possibly take to test? There's the translation too, Toby said it would end in April, though he didn't specify exactly when in April, maybe it's already fully done, or maybe it won't be done fully until the end of the month. Beyond the translation and game testing, there also seem to be other various things to take care of before a release. Is a July release possible? Will it take longer than that to release? What do you think?

Another thing I forgot to mention is that he did say "That'll be all from me on this subject for a while", which implied we would get another update, even if not very soon after this one, but given the current controversy I don't think it's unreasonable to think that he will stay completely quiet until the new Chapter is fully done, upon which he will make another post mentioning that it's done and that it will release at X date.

Toby is so fucking based. That's why I still care about his games despite the WAIT.
>>737114771
>>737115772
I think we're getting a release on August or September. A July release is just too optimistic, playtesting seems to take 4-6 months and Toby said last year he only expected a release in the second half of this year. I don't think we're getting any news or even a newsletter until Toby has a release date, which will probably happen last month. The latinx controversy was annoying but I don't think that's stopping Toby as everyone already moved on outside of /v/irgins.
>>737115832
Not happening, Toby wouldn't say 2026 if it wasn't going to be released in 2026. He isn't that type of guy.
>>
>>
>>
>>737118901
August or September makes sense, though if it does end up taking that long it does not bode well for the release of the last 2 chapters, if Chapter 5, which already had a non-insignificant amount of work done before Chapters 3 and 4 released, so, if it really takes until september to release Chapter 5, I really do not think a release for the last two chapters before 2030 is feasible.

You can't filter everyone who posts a human image, schizo-kun. But your best bet is unironically to just filter any image with Frisk or Chara if you really don't want to see any humanfags. There's no simple filter for it.
>>737123080
Chapter 5 only started really being worked on September of 2024 if I remember correctly, and work for 6 should've already started as of know since Toby said the team would move on from 5 after the playtesting started. But yes, 6 and 7 will only release around 2029.

That just feels a bit too far in my opinion. I feel like Toby wouldn't be confident it would come out this year if it was going to be released this last. I expect Q3 at best.

They have probably gone through the first wave of testing by now. Don't know how their process works but I'd expect they only start testing the jap version once the English one is 100% done so it doesn't really matter whether the localization is done now or next month.
It took them roughly four months to playtest ch3 and 4 last time, so 5 SHOULD take about two months. I'd say that late June/early July would be reasonable, but this is Toby, you never know with him. He might end up sitting on a fully complete chapter just so he can show it off on a Nintendo Direct or some other dumb shit.

No, Frisk would be brown and ugly, only old Tumblr drew sexy Frisks. There was a version of that pic that added how western artists draw Frisk.

This is blatantly wrong, newfag. Most Chara threads always had Frisk coomer images too, and even we had coomer Frisk drawfags as well that became famous later on. I found a bunch of Frisk images here across the years.

I like my Frisks pacifistic, yeah. I assume you're more of a genocide or neutralfag, my friend. Also it's kind of funny there are people ITT acting as if us humanbros didn't exist beforehand. I'm sure people always lewded Frisk and Chara, can you confirm it as well if you're an oldfag, too?
Tenna is maid more of an ikemen than either of them. I'm surprised he was even a hit since Mettaton kind flopped as a sexyman before.

>Toby wouldn't be confident for a release this year because of fear of delays
To be fair given Toby's past I really do not think it's unreasonable to think that just because he feels confident on it, it doesn't mean that he isn't wrong and that it won't actually take longer than expected. Nevertheless I do feel it's pretty certain that it will release this year, even if it will still take a surprising amount of time.

>At what stage do you think Chapter 5 of Deltarune is currently at?
Can't tell you how many bugs could possibly be in this single chapter, but they should be 1/3rd done with bug fixes by the end of this month. As for translation, they're probably on their 3rd or 4th draft right now, but I'd say they're one draft away from making the final one so that can be tested next month for bugs.
>How long do you think it will last?
With the second half of this year being the timeframe for the chapters release, July 1st will be my estimated soft deadline for bug testing to be complete.
>How long could [8 hours] possibly take to test?
Well, it's more than just 8 hours. They also have to test the game on Switch 1, Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 to find any console-related issues. Plus, due to consoles receiving patches later than PC, they have to do extensive testing to ensure all FIVE versions are in sync and mostly bug-free at launch.
>Is a July release possible?
Mid-July to mid-August is my most reasonable timeframe for Chapter 5's release. Mid-September (Undertale's 11th Anniversary) is my backup timeframe if that gets missed, and Halloween (Deltarune Chapter 1's 8th Anniversary) is the farthest I can tolerate it before I start getting mad.
>Will it take longer than that to release?
It's one (1) chapter, so it better fucking not.
>What do you think?
Toby's done a lot of work leading up to Chapters 3 & 4 to remove future roadblocks and mitigate risks so that the rest of the chapters can come out smoothly (hiring the producer, testing a new Gamemaker feature made specifically for Deltarune, and getting Switch 2 and PS5 ports out of the way). Whether all of that pays off depends on if Chapter 5 gets released in a timely manner. I'm mostly sure that it will come out before September, but who knows what could really happen? I just hope we get an actual newsletter soon, because this radio silence is killing me.

You know, one thing that I think is important in to keep in mind when it comes to the playtesting phase is that it's not only bugs that they are looking for, but also game balance, it might be that there are some things that playtesters find too easy or too hard and the team might decide to rebalance it, which can take some time to get right, this is why the playtesting period might last longer than you'd think.

Deltarune's scope is pretty big with the amount of new ganeplay mechanics, new enemies, and overall new content it introudces with each chapters, so of course it needs professional testers, especially when it's made by a group of experienced developers and the game costs 25 bucks

You're pretty noticeable yourself, tsundere Charabro. It seems like most of your problems is with the fact that we still have daily threads and people are leaving, and not with humanbros. Especially since I'm pretty sure we were around before then. I ain't the one making threads so you can't blame for that. This is just how we pass the wait. You could join us as well, I feel like it's a better use of your time than whine about thread quality but never leaving. You gotta enjoy the ride.

They only started doing console ports and testing once both chapters got a complete translation and were fully tested on PC(eng version). The PC version of 3 was tested beforehand but the four months were ch4 PC version+console ports+jap versions
>>
>>737132436
I don't expect a newsletter until the game is ready, which I only expect around May or June. Toby did remove a lot of roadblocks but he also said Game Maker is getting new features so I don't expect future chapters to come quickly.

>>737132834
I feel like after everything Toby probably has realistic expectations for how long a chapter takes. I don't see him underestimating how long 5 will take to finish.

I doubt testing on PC for 4 added that much time, so I don't expect testing to take too long.

Most nippon players only use console so he needs to release it there for them. PC is niche.
