Undertale Full Menu
Brigitta Martini
When you start up the game, the title screen features an option menu where you can reconfigure your keys. (or test the game with a joystick/gamepad if you want to use something other than a keyboard.)
"Above and beyond" is a badge you can acquire in-game by getting all the possible name easter eggs in the "Name the fallen human" menu. In order to get to this screen you need to click the yellow star in the main menu. Each time you click it there is a chance for a screen to pop up that resembles Undertale's name menu.
Some specific names trigger unique reactions after pressing the "DONE" button (capitalisation is not relevant). You need to find all of them in order to get the badge. Since some names force you to leave the game it is impossible to get every easter egg in one server.
Been meaning to update a previous artwork with the new characters.
Intended to do more with the coloring, but there's already a lot.
Berdly is mostly included because my friend insisted.
Despite everything, I still love Undertale, and I can't wait for what Deltarune has in store.
we all know by now that papyrus, at least physically, is mysteriously missing from anywhere in deltarune despite having being a key player in undertale. everyone else that was a main character is there and introduced as early as the first chapter. so where is he, exactly?
well, if you recall that the order of main antagonists in each chapter follows that of what chess pieces are worth the most points (from king, to queen, to presumably rook bishop etc etc.) then the antagonists have some resemblance to the pieces they represent.
HE DESIGNED A MASSIVE GEOTHERMAL MACHINE, WHICH UTLIZES HEAT FROM LITERAL MOLTEN MAGMA IN ORDER TO CREATE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY. USING WHATEVER LITERAL ACTUAL JUNK HE PROBABLY HAD TO BUILD IT OUT OF. IN DOING THIS, HE PROVIDED CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION OF PEOPLE.

So, there was a rumor (or at least I think it was, not too up to date on it) a while back about Nintendo wanting to bring Undertale to the Wii U. While I think that would be pretty cool, I thought about what it would be like to have Undertale on older and newer consoles (Xbox, Sega Genesis, NES, etc.), specifically, the mechanics/controls.
Now what could work (for the Wii U) is where the gamepad just has a blank battlefield, and the screen shows the projectiles and the SOUL. Dragging the stylus around the blank touch screen would move the soul around on the TV.
As for the interface, for the overworld the main game can be top screen, while bottom can be a map of the area or whatever, or just house the menu.
Battle screen wiuld prolly be entirely top screenn, with the bottom screen having a few things like maybe Check info or whatever. Maybe dodging and the screen too. Touch would be disabled.
Genocide end I guess could be the same, just add rumble support at the end when the world dies and then boot back to the Home Menu.
Maybe even auto-change to a different theme haha (not sure if this is possible but still).
Having said that, Undertale might well be the first RPG where you can spare every enemy from death.* And subversive or not, the battles of Undertale are hard to describe and full of pizzazz. Every battle hazily recalls that weird dating sim/ menu combat fight against the otaku lizard in Super Paper Mario. You flirt with monsters, laughing at their jokes and commenting on how dapper their hats are.
People hated FFXIII for that subversion. They hated the linear nature of the story and world. They hated the fast-paced battle system that initially seemed simplistic and required a few hours to teach its systems to the player. Perhaps part of the reason Undertale is so beloved is not that it subverts the traditions of the JRPG but that it does the opposite, hanging a lampshade on each and every one and putting them all together with a flare and creativity that is rarely seen in recent iterations of the genre.
There was a while when everybody was talking on and on and into oblivion about Undertale. The boat had sailed off without me and into some maritime cavern. I weathered years of Undertale\u2019s hype until finally deciding to grab it last week. What, fair reader, possessed me to spend the full 14.99 MSRP on a years-old game that looks like a small child tried to recreate Earthbound in MS Paint? I\u2019m predisposed towards Undertale. It\u2019s quirky, it\u2019s made by one guy and it\u2019s put together with crude and idiosyncratic pixel art that recalls the early days of gaming. This would often be the part of the intro paragraph where I write AHA but I don\u2019t actually like this game at all because of x, y and z. I won\u2019t be doing that with Undertale. You already know how good Undertale is because you\u2019ve either played it or you\u2019ve read or watched one of a thousand gushing reviews of it. Either that or you can immediately tell it doesn\u2019t interest you by looking at it. If you haven\u2019t played it, and you are interested at all, you should play it. It\u2019s great. Also SPOILERS.
Undertale is often renowned for subverting various video game tropes, specifically those of the role playing game. It doesn\u2019t really subvert these tropes, though. It often presents them in a novel way, but if anything it puts them up on a pedestal and shines a floodlight on them.
Famously, you don\u2019t have to kill anything in Undertale. You, the player, and thus the blocky haired protagonist, make a decision in each battle whether you actually want to snuff out the poor monster you\u2019re up against. But you really only get to make the decision once at the beginning of the game. You can either not kill anything, or kill some things, or kill everything. Once you\u2019ve fucked up that first battle and murdered a frog in cold blood you\u2019re in the group that killed some things. I would guess that the vast, vast majority of first time players wind up in that camp. So sure, you\u2019re making a decision in every battle, but your decision doesn\u2019t really effect the outcome- at least for the most part. The morality of Undertale is similar to the morality of Bioshock, another game that allows you to spare some things so that you can get a different ending. Multiple endings based on often-arbitrary player decisions are nothing new in games, nor are they particularly subversive.
In keeping with this theme of morality, Undertale features menu combat that always gives you \u201Cact\u201D options that will eventually allow you to spare whatever adorable creature finds its unlucky self in your crosshairs. But this isn\u2019t particularly subversive either, just menu combat systems taken to their logical conclusion. If JRPGs only gave you the option to attack they would be incredibly boring. Many an JRPG has historically given the player the ability to sit a turn out in defensive stance, to poison an enemy instead of attacking it head on, or even to capture or befriend it. Far from being subversive, the ability to spare enemies is just another option for ending combat in much the same way that running away or killing an enemy or capturing it for your party is.
Come to think of it, there is a way in which Undertale\u2019s battle system is subversive. But it has nothing to do with menus. After deciding whether or not to attack you are presented with a simple mini game in which you need to press the \u201CA\u201D button at the proper time as in most of the non-super Paper Mario games. And then all of sudden you find yourself represented by a little heart inside of a little box, dodging enemy attacks like some trippy 1-bit demaster of Ikaruga. This is the only menu combat RPG I can think of that contains a shmup in every battle, and in a way this concept is subversive. Nothing makes menu combat seem boring like frantically dodging a bunch of jumping dogs.
But that\u2019s it. Even the (rightfully) much-lauded story is brimming with tropes from an awkward helpful scientist who has some weird crush on you to a tragic war between two factions to a silly insane clownish enemy that represents pure evil and has no discernible motivation. Undertale is about as subversive of JRPG conventions as a neckbeard holding up a sign saying \u201CLIGHTNING IS MY DREAM.\u201D
\u2026But actually that neckbeard is almost certainly subverting JRPG conventions by holding that sign because Final Fantasy XIII changes up almost every aspect of the genre\u2019s gameplay while delivering something that is immediately recognisable as a JRPG.**
scr_debugmode appears to contain debug functionality. However, this script is never called in the released versions of the game. To use these functionalities, put scr_debugmode() at the start of gml_Object_obj_pl_Step_0.
