by the way, if you haven’t read toby fox’s message on deltarune from his twitter, you probably should here. a summary:
deltarune is a different universe/timeline/world, the undertale world and ending are just as you left them. it’s NOT a sequel or prequel
deltarune chapter 1 is a demo of a project toby wanted to start, but it’s too big of a task to do alone like undertale. he’s trying to assemble a team but is unsure of how many years it could take to get the game done
the game would be released eventually (hopefully) as one full package of chapters to purchase. no preorders, no kickstarter.
as of right now, there is “0%” progress on the full game besides the demo we got, but this is in terms of the actual game and programming/art. the story itself is completely done and so are some songs
another tweet shows he’s been working on ideas for deltarune since 2012!
his last words that i’m going to directly quote because i can’t do them justice myself: “By the way, I was really worried at first about making this. The expectations for my next work would be really high, so high that I knew that no matter what I did, I felt like people would be underwhelmed. If you played “UNDERTALE,” I don’t think I can make anything that makes you feel “that way” again. However, it’s possible I can make something else. It’s just something simple but maybe you’ll like it. See you in ?? years… OK? Don’t forget.”
(undertale spoilers / deltarune spoilers) a lot of people are wondering if suzy and susie are the same person, and many have accidentally made some kind of ship name – “suzie.” to clear it up, suzie is not someone who exists in either undertale or deltarune.
suzy is from undertale, susie is from deltarune. it would be odd if they turned out to be the same character… but who’s to say right now?
