Where not killing everything is actually a viable option. I wanted to make an RPG game where you could befriend all of the bosses. Were the “act” and “mercy” functions of the battle designed after an existing story and themes were thought up, or were those done before – etc – what was the relation of the battle system and narrative development? The ideas the flower mentions at the end go hand-in-hand with the battling, as does with the final encounter with Toriel, and the ways that can pan out, which is why I’m interested. A game I hope to write a bit about, Contact (NDS, 2006) uses a silent protagonist, but for seemingly the opposite effect that Toby employed – instead, Contact looks to objectify the player-character and form distance between you and the player-character.Ģ. Sean: It’s interesting how the silent protagonist can be utilized in different ways. There’s more to this answer but I can’t say anything until the game is complete. The more details and personality I add to “you,” then the harder it is to get absorbed into the role. Most of the game’s narration is in the second person. Toby: The character doesn’t say very much because then you can identify with them better. The player-character is silent – was this done for any reason other than following traditional RPG tropes? I can think of a few possibilities but I’d rather have you answer to whatever you’re comfortable saying. This is given the setting of well… Chris Priestman of Indie Statik has a lot of good things to say about it, and he can say them far better than I could, so for the low-down, check out his article – I recommend playing a bit before reading the interview. It has some really wonderful tracks on it!Īs it is, it’s a short demo of an RPG that ties its battle system with elements of shoot-em-ups and interactive fiction, which further go on to challenge the norms of traditional RPG battle systems and narrative progression.
If you play and enjoy Undertale, you can support Toby by paying some money for Undertale ‘s soundtrack. He recently released a demo version of Undertale, which you can try for free. This time I asked a few questions to Toby Fox, who did almost everything for his upcoming RPG, Undertale, except for some collaboration on the artwork.
This is part 1 of a hopefully continuing series where I play some other developers’ games and then ask them questions about it! So an interview I guess!
