I just made some bullshit!!! This time, i'm taking a very, very close look at what actually happened in Chapter 3, because some weird stuff does go down when we weren't looking...
I'm sorry in advance.
This time, i unfortunately don't really have a lot of behind the scenes/assets to share since i had to rush this in order to get it out before chapter 5, but here are the few i did make.
Put your hands together for the next dumbass stream, coming this weekend to your feed!
Ch5 is approaching, so this weekend, on 20th of June, 19:00 gmt+3, me and a few other ( @error-ego @tinyhater ) will be on stream to talk about, and make bingo boards for ch5! Exciting stuff, for sure.
I'll give out the base for the bingo board on stream, so if you want to participate, join us then!
hiii! so since ch5 is coming way too soon, and i'm already gonna have to rush my next video to get it out before hand, i will not have time to make the Ralsei video at all. So instead, i'll share the main points of it here in text form.
It was gonna be called "Moves With a Purpose" (bmbmbm ref for true knowers), and it'd have focused on what Ralsei's driving force is, what his purpose/motive is, why he hides so much stuff from everyone, and how darkners work.
first main thing is that every darkner needs a purpose. A purpose to live, to exist, otherwise, they turn to stone. Ralsei is unique in the sense that he can be in every darkworld, so he seemingly has a purpose everywhere, in every darkworld. But what is this purpose? a lot of Ralsei's actions kind of come off as acting. He's acting for us, acting like he doesn't know about us, but, at the same time, he wants to keep us, the players, happy. Always following our lead, like in the quizzes where he just answers whatever we answer.
Ralsei also seemingly knows, well, everything, like the prophecy, including answers to all puzzles, that he just doesn't want to give away.
This, along with how seems to kind of fear us, and what we are capable of, kind of leads me to believe that his true purpose is to not only keep us happy, but also, engaged with the story. His purpose is to keep us, the player, around. He wants us to be engaged in the story, in the game, not get bored of it, and for us to engage with the story as a game to win, to complete, and because of this, he doesn't want to break the illusion of the 4th wall. It'd risk our immersion breaking.
He acts as a tutorial character, to make sure we don't quit the game due to skill issues. But also, he doesn't want the game to be too easy, as to the point of us getting bored. When we get bored, we might quit and cover the world in darkness, or, do something worse...
He doesn't turn to stone in the darkworlds, since his purpose spans across them all. The story itself, the prophecy, is integral to the darkworlds themselves, so he always has a purpose, as long as we are here. I don't think Ralsei is evil, or up to something nefarious. He doesn't tell Susie everything, since he fears she would break said illusion, break our suspension of disbelief and take us out of the story.
This is why he doesn't want to talk about Spamton either, he was getting close to breaking the illusion. He wanted the soul to break free of the limits of their world.
I actually think that lot of the time that Ralsei is talking to Kris, he's talking through them and indirectly talking to us, like when we are kind to him and he's flustered, since he knows a GODLIKE BEING is complimenting him. (Also he's looking at us here again lmao)
One of the moments where i think he's being genuine with Kris and actually confiding in them is at the end of Ch4.
Ralsei essentially has to walk a VERY thin line between acting like a normal person with normal person motives, and trying to keep a otherwordly godlike being happy, without said being knowing that he is doing that. That's why he comes off as such a weirdo.
I would have also touched on a few what Ralsei is theories. Him being a reflection of Asriel seems important, but the reason is kinda hard to pinpoint. The game is supposed to be for people who played Undertale, so is he just Asriel to intrigue those people more?
TL;DR: Ralsei's purpose, and why he's so weird, is because he wants to keep the player immersed in and engaged with the game, but because he is a person too, he struggles to keep the act of being a character in a videogame up, without shattering the 4th wall and ruining our immersion.
Look forward to the next video coming next week. It's going to be a rushed piece of shit, but i want it out before ch5 so what can you do.
Hello!
So as it turns out, reading comments takes a lot of time, especially when you get derailed a lot. As a result, last week we only got through the Personality Imprints' comments. Thus, we are doing a part 2 to the part 2 streams this Sunday, May 10th, 19:00 UTC+3, and reading through the Man in the Middle video's comments as well. see you then!
hello, ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
This Sunday, 3rd of May, 19:00 GMT+3, i'll be holding the COMMENT READING STREAM, aka "Part 2" to both of my earlier videos, where i, and a few other community members (e.g. @error-ego, @tinyhater ) will talk about the videos, add to the theories, and their comments. See you then!
dude, you've made 2 videos what are you doing? why are you doing an update like anyone actually cares???
Well, spring changed to summer, and sure enough, the release of chapter 5 grows ever nearer. i've come to realise that i have way too many video ideas to actually finish them before Chapter 5, so I come to you all.
Below are 2 different topics that i've written a preliminary script for, and your job is to vote for which one you'd wanna see next on this here channel. i just uploaded a companion video to this post, where i go over these topics in a bit more detail.
i'll pick the winner whenever i goddamn please! hopefully more than 3 people vote. Thank you for participating, see you in 10 months! go listen to Ciśnienie in the mean time.
Which topic would you like to see covered in a proper, big video on my channel
im here to say that i like your video editing style for deltarune videos. also the wobbly smiley face you use to represent yourself is really cute :) have a nice day
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG YOU TOO HAVE A NICE DAY. i'm glad people have liked the editing and the dumb little emoticons i drew. They very much are the result of the limitation of my artistic capabilities, since i couldn't really draw a proper character for myself, so i just decided to copy the Hotline Miami portrait style with the emoticons. Easy and a lot of potential, maybe next i'll draw a :D, ._., or @_@
also fun fact, the original smiling version was the avatar i drew for the Undertale Memories thing last year, because i couldn't think of anything else to draw ;D
NEW VIDEO! NOW!!! This time, it's about the egg rooms and Gaster and the Forgotten man and idk something else. I swear it's actually a bit original and not reheated leftovers from better creators.
Like last time, here's all the behind the scenes/files for the video that i made.
the background of the thumbnail, ain't it pretty?
and here's the SOUL and Gaster, i call the piece "The Creation of the SOUL"
wait, when did this become a Kris knight video?
i have to make Gaster sad and suffering, sorry
tell him you like his art, please
a lot of different variations of the DEVICE with Gaster. There was going to be one with Dess operating the DEVICE, but i cut that since I WANT THIS VIDEO OUT!!!
wow, such a good animation, thank god you definitely included the whole thing in the video
mail, EVIL mail
here's what i think the forgotten man looks like behind the tree
this gif fucked up my editor completely and crashed it like twice
mr. Wingdings, a fucking loser
fuck, he's dead now
some people probably missed this bit, which is a shame since i think this is one of the actually funny ones, but i couldn't fit it anywhere else, so oh well
ok, the video is pretty much done now. i still need to subtitle it, but HOPEFULLY it'll be done towards the latter half of next week.
Also look at this dumbass, what's he looking at?
i wanted to do an april fools video on Gaster just being an elaborate prank, but i feel like if i did that as my second ever video, no one would've gotten it and i would've been hunted with pitchforks
