Sega New RPG at Tokyo Game Show.The Sega always known primarily for action franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter, or Streets of Rage, she never a slut in the RPG department. Sega has an impressive lineup of RPGs to its name, from the best known like Sakura Wars and the genre that moved Yakuza: Like a Dragon to cult classics like Skies of Arcadia. There is also the issue of external developers working under the Sega brand, like Atlus with the Persona games. That’s why, when people found out that Sega was announcing a new RPG at the Tokyo Game Show, the excitement immediately kicked in.
The Tokyo Game Show 2021 will run from September 30 to October 3.

Deltarune Chapter 2: What Took So Long?
I remember the day after Halloween in 2018, I was browsing forums and for some reason all of the UNDERTALE tags were full of activity. Oddly, they filled with the art of characters I didn’t recognize, jokes I hadn’t heard, speculations I had no basis on. Being a huge UNDERTALE fan myself, I had to get to the bottom of this and my research led me to the Toby Fox website. Where I found the first chapter of brand new game, DELTARUNE (in the slightly creepy guise of an EXE called “SURVEY_PROGRAM”), and again quickly dragged into the rabbit hole.
It has been three years since. I’ve played DELTARUNE Chapter 1 three times, enjoying Toby Fox’s unusual storytelling and speculating on the cliffhanger ending. Like many others, I wondered the story would continue. yesterday, similar to the UNDERTALE 6th anniversary livestream, Fox unceremoniously revealed that Chapter 2 released for the weekend. I can’t help but wonder what took so long.As it so happens, quite a bit.
Deltarune Chapter 2: What Took So Long?
Since the release of Chapter 1 of DELTARUNE in 2018, Fox has never stopped working on the game. Of course, like in the case of UNDERTALE, it takes a guy a long time to create an entire game, even if luckily, he had the help of several contributors such as Temmie Chang. Despite this, DELTARUNE has a big step forward in the workload department compared to predecessor; more cutscenes, more graphics, more detailed animations, and potential dialogue pages, all of which Fox had to handle almost on his own. Even in situations where team members were managing the work, Fox stayed with them in a supervisory role the entire time.
“Unlike UNDERTALE, this is the kind of game that would normally have many designers working on all aspects of the game,” Fox wrote in a September 2020 update on the game. “Writer, Composer , an audio director, a map designer, a battle designer, a minigame designer and a general manager. Instead, all of these roles end up handled by me. “

It help that when DELTARUNE Chapter 1 released that first chapter literally all Fox had. took at least a few years just to map. He also experimented with a few different game engines in an attempt to get out of Game Maker Studio, although he ultimately didn’t go anywhere.
Perhaps the biggest problem happened in 2020, when Fox’s existing muscle and wrist pain suddenly worsened exponentially, to the point that he couldn’t even type on a keyboard. All of work during that time had to done verbatim and speaking like someone who tried to work this way is absolutely maddening. While he would normally undergo some sort of surgery or physical therapy, since it was in 2020, the COVID19 pandemic has made it much more difficult to find medical help unrelated to COVID, so it was not an option.All he was able to do was gradually recover on his own, although thanks to frequent breaks and a little ingenuity he is now much better.

Going forward, Fox assembled a larger team of contributors and mapped out the game a lot more, although he also said there would be no more versions until the rest of the game (Chapters 3, 4 and 5 ). ) It completed. More than likely, it will probably be a few more years before we see DELTARUNE come to an end, although I think I speak on behalf of all Fox fans when I say that I am more than happy to wait as long as it will be necessary.
