"I can never let myself forget them..."

So I had an idea. I don't know if it's like, communicated properly. It's almost 4am right now lol.

Pale Bluebird is from the calamity AU and Vibrant Bluebird is from the age swap AU. An "incident" happened and they swapped universes. This messed with their memories.

Calling this merge AU "Bird you farewell"

[IMPORTANT] What adaptation for this AU would you prefer? (pros & cons below; please read them)

Series on Youtube

Game

Voting ended onMay 1, 2024

Don't be super excited because there's a chance this won't be produced at all considering people who volunteer will do this free, no one will be paid before, after or during production. No exceptions either.

Chances are, this could be bad, I don't get enough volunteers, or some drama will happen and production will need to be halted, or (and knock on wood) put on hiatus indefinitely.

Personally, I prefer the youtube series, but I want to give people an option as to what they want from this, because as much as it's mine, it's also something you'll be taking the time out of your day to enjoy. So choose wisely.

Pros for series on Youtube:

Each chapter will be a season, meaning there'll be multiple episodes

(Hopefully) voice acted

Animated scenes(?) (Hopefully, I'm not an experienced animator, so someone will need to volunteer to help with that)

The weird route/snowgrave route will be adapted into a comic later

Cons for series on Youtube:

No series for the snowgrave route/weird route

Each episode will take some time to be made

Unfortunately, there won't be a satisfying clip or those rainbow bouncing balls beneath the video to stimulate you

Delays in production due to my life being busy and this being free access

Production will take some time

Pros for game:

Gameplay

Full game play of chapter 1 will be completed

More difficult game play due to this being a "hard mode" au, if you're someone who enjoys a challenge

Both the pacifist and weird route/snowgrave will be made

Cons for game:

I'm not experienced when it comes to writing story for games, expect there to be a lot of mistakes, especially for a game as detailed as Deltarune

Production will take a while

Again, delays in production due to my life being busy and this being free access

I'm not a modder, so I just need to get lucky and hope someone who knows how to mod will volunteer, chances are, the game won't even be made. But I'm just leaving this option out here.

Berdly concept art:

In the overworld, he’s pretty much the same as Dr!Berdly, except for the fact that he wears fake glasses to make himself look smarter. In the darkworld, due to the enemies being 10x harder, Berdly’s forced (Kris forces him) to join Noelle and Kris on their journey through the cyberworld. Like Noelle, he’s apathetic, distant towards anything and everything, and doesn’t remember anything about his life, having to be reminded of who he is through challenging him at puzzles and his intelligence. His outfit is similar to Kris’s, which is the fact that he can’t take any of it (his armour) off without injuring himself (it’s up to you to interpret what that means).

Neutral route: his arm isn’t broken since he’s never controlled by queen (kind of, during the queen boss battle, she just forcefully brings him to her side), but he does forget some details of his life when he forcefully breaks from the fountain's control, rather than naturally recollecting his memories. In the library, he’ll get up and rub his head, asking why he was in the library, with Noelle having to remind him that he was studying with her.

If Kris took the pacifist route, during his time with Kris, he has to be reminded of who he is through challenging him (ex. Proving him wrong at puzzles, reminding him that he isn’t as strong as he thinks he is during battles; telling him it’s okay to not be smart, etc). He’s defensive of Noelle and (sometimes) Kris, if any of them were/are hurt (mostly Noelle), he gets more aggressive. The scene with Noelle and Susie is mostly the same, with the fact that Berdly never falls in love with Susie; he instead just apologises for how he’s been acting. During the final boss battle, Berdly comes in with assistance from Spamton, forming S.I.G.M.A! (short for Spamton’s inorganic gigas mech apparatus; punctuation included).

snowgrave/weird route: Berdly’s the main reason why snowgrave/the weird route in this au is possible since he gets aggressive whenever Noelle and/or Kris are injured/down. When entering a battle, you/Kris would have to act by either screaming out in terror, or by forcefully pushing Noelle to the ground (which is the more effective solution). By the time the three get to the alleyway, Berdly, in one last attempt to help Noelle, breaks free from the fountain, which still results in him dying and Noelle forcefully breaking free from the fountain due to the trauma.

Wait whos that Berdly in the front with a black and purple robe on?

They're from this post! His name is Birbly and he's one of Portal Jevil's guards along side Ghost/Potoo Berdly.

Apologies if one has already been posted, I can't seem to find it in his tag: Does Potoo Berdly have a ref?

I hadn't made one until now. No face ref though, its ment to be kept hidden. : )

[deltarune-au-domain]

Potoo. I give you the gift of a very soft blanket

Here’s the song! Tell me what you think. It was going to be called “Smart Waltz” but I couldn’t figure out how to make a waltz.
