I only play in windowed, anyways

Let's revive this! (This time, it is rot-13.)

Eh. I'm waiting until Chaptr 2 to draw any conclusions. This was quite the teaser.

same.

inb4 all future chapters end up cancelled

[Sherkel]

You guys would rather wait 999 years?!

(I was pretty surprised when he said the main obstacle was finding a team willing to help work on it, though. I mean, in the dev community alone there are bound to be hundreds jumping at the chance as we speak...right?)

[ISSOtm]

Well, he's doing it in Game Maker, so I dunno. I'd help him, but I don't know where to apply either.
Also, I doubt he needs programmers, rather artists and designers and the like.

It all reeks of Toby too much for the design to be outsourced. Knowing him, he'd never allow it anyway.
My guess is either the whole "there's a team now" is either absolute BS (cue dogsong) or it's people HE hand-picked for programming and QA, plus maybe some mild story proofreading and the like. If true, most likely, it's the best fangame makers he's picking.

Now THERE'S a good theory!

[Parzival]

Is... Is this a reference to the later-gen bikes???

[Epsilon]

It's a clever reference if it is :^)

[Sherkel]

Toby got a 46-page article in the most recent Famitsu, including an interview between him and the director of Nier: Automata!

Those localizations were a good idea.

[ISSOtm]

Neat!

[Sherkel]

Has anyone else played Escaped Chasm yet? I liked it, though there's probably not enough there for it to have its own thread. There's something in it that you may recognize if you pay close attention to the backgrounds in Deltarune.
