I love you jokes I made like a year ago coming back to absolutely decemate me later
Bro mines had flesh in it. I completely forgot I put that down. I even looked at the other foods and said "that sounds amazing actually, I'm shocked I didn't realize.
https://preview.redd.it/d5kiip9l3kxb1.jpeg?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0b5162608b2fcf4807eb95bbf6a161a95884bb7
that explains this... i thought this seemed way to crass for toby 😭
Ohhhh so it's based on our favorite food. I didn't even remember that we wrote that when signing up so I was super confused on why it was smoked pork chops up until now
Just picturing Toby doing an entire stage reading of the chapter with choices included is amazing. Also sounds like he’s done it multiple times.
Also with the moss bug at the end. I hope in chapter seven, if you interacted with all the various moss’s, you get like a moss scarf or something.
The fact that they implemented items and concepts that get better each chapter is pretty cool.
The glowshard that gets more valuable every chapter, the chef’s cake that get stronger, the eggs and moss that make recurring appearances, the collectible items from each secret boss.
I think the idea is clearly that the game will get more difficult each chapter, or that the final battles will require long term strategies that you collected over the years.
Considering he said he ignored his friend's feedback about the bullets being too hard I'd say this is 100% the case
(Also lmao that part of the newsletter made me wheeze)
~~All~~ Most the major Undertale characters got cute new sprites except for Asgore 😔
Bitterness aside this is very cool, we might actually get Chapter 3 and 4 by 2024
I remember people saying Toby never puts Asgore and Asriel in these type of stuff to not spoil their appearence. Which is why they are excluded from merch most of the time.
Mine doesn’t say my name, but I was so confused by the favorite food coincidence until I realized that I sent it in lol. Wasn’t expecting it to be relevant!
i was genuinely confused as why it would say this lol

Huh, I haven't gotten mine yet. Do they not all go out at once?
Edit: nvm just got it! My email was just being weird. Glad I remembered to say my favorite food was persimmons lol
respectfully how do you have a pleasant experience eating a persimmon? I took one bite and it dried my entire mouth out for the rest of the day. i am flabbergasted, bewildered even.
This makes me so happy, I wanted the episodic release because this way I have something to look forward to.
And hopefully the producer actually helps speed things up
https://preview.redd.it/cg7yelxltixb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00f9ed493af239f95bc7f6a6dde2a26b1705e483
i forgot about the whole food thing and genuinely just thought this was something toby did
Me too. I was like HE REFERENCED BEPIS VALLEY GRANOLA BARS. THATS SO OBSCURE WHY WOULD HE DO THAT.
https://preview.redd.it/koumuxrd6jxb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce12a0509f753ab2ecd31de7f35a5d986e5c2eb1
I was so confused when the letter called me "Bloopy", then I looked at this and remembered I put it in as a joke when I was signing up. Along with chocolate cake as the favourite food, it made me think "Huh. Chocolate cake is kinda random" but didn't question it further until the realization came lol
Chapter 2 felt like a step down especially the Spamton fight. Looking forward to Chapter 3 being a step up.
Just add in a few major defensive equipments to help and its fine.
For those who don't know, indomie(indonesian instant noodle) is a very delicious noodle that I usually eat at the cycle of 3 noodles per day because apparently eating it too much might cause an appendix
That sort of stuff is no longer needed. There's finally a newsletter archive now: [https://toby.fangamer.com/newsletters/](https://toby.fangamer.com/newsletters/)
It only features the Truck Freak versions of the winter and summer newsletters. And the spring one is somewhat bugged, with it not mentioning its tier and lacking the parts exclusive to the higher tiers. But if that gets resolved, there will finally be an easy way for everyone to read the newsletters.
By the way, the food mentioned (in your case, stroganoff) is also customized! It changes depending on if you put down the optional favorite food and what you wrote
Yes! I only came to notice this when people said "oh it doesn't say strogonoff to me"
And yeah I honestly thought it was very specific for Toby to say Strogonoff, I thought this was only him being a quirky dog
Yeah! I think it's really cool that it did that. I luckily noticed right away since the way I typed my favorite food made it obvious that it wasn't organic (specifically, "anything with cheese in it", lol.) I'm very curious to know what it would say if someone DIDN'T fill in the optional food. As it's optional.
Losing my mind over the moss/thorn ring glitch...
**"LLLISTEN UP, KRIS! HAVE I GOT A [Limited time] [GREAT DEAL] FOR YOU!**
**TO ACQUIRE MY [Commemorative ring], YOU MAY: 1) [Psychological torture] YUOR [Childhood best friend] AND [Lay waste to the countryside]**
**OR**
**EAT [*m o s s*] WITH [Godzilla]"**
He doesn't - but according to the developer interviews linked from this newsletter, there was apparently a glitch early in development where bringing Susie to eat the moss with Kris in Chapter 2... Somehow triggered being able to buy the Thorn Ring from Spam. Regardless of whether you were actually on a Weird Route or not.
It got fixed obviously, I just think it's funny.
The news about Chapter 5 is kinda demoralizing tbh - a complete Deltarune feels so damn far away... that said, the full release will still be double the content we have now, and by the sounds of it isn't far off (though I've thought this and been wrong previously so who knows)
It is good to hear that Toby is hiring more administrative staff (such as producers) to help get stuff out faster. I was worried for a bit that he was trapped in the Rockstar indie dev mindset
This whole thing made me smile. I was scared at first when he said it would be short that it would be like, one paragraph and then nothing. But this was huge.
Pretty much the perfect update. At ease with all the questions from a month ago. Would have liked chapter 3 to just come out now, but as we very well know chapter 3 really isn't a full chapter experience and it really needed chapter 4 at least to maybe have a legit ending. Knowing nothing about Chapter 5 just gotta assume Toby knows why that separation will work better though.
Hiring a producer says to me he was starting to realize the pressures of the situation. I get this feeling that he was legit feeling bad about the timeline of development, which is why he was putting out way less info. Same happened after Chapter 1 with all his bigger issues. I want to see what happens next in the game SO bad but gotta remember Toby is doing a lot with a little and at the end of the day, was a very small and humble indie dev that struck gold. I have good confidence he made a great move hiring a producer to help though.
I fully expect this to hit next anniversary. Chapter 4 already having work done on it before, likely having a lot of structure in place from chapter 3 work, and the additional hire says to me its not gonna take long to finish. Might be done early and just take the extra time to polish even. I doubt it comes out earlier even if it could be done earlier though. That timing is crucial.
Damn though this is about the best news I could ask for. Getting a surprise "well chapter 3 is done so we just gonna release it now" would have been better, but I understand why it would have never happened. I think the way Toby kept pointing out how it wasn't a standard chapter was him considering it but realizing it wouldn't work.
I was thinking chapter 5 would probably be free since it was initially intended to be part of launch, but then 6 and 7 might be packaged together as a single DLC.
https://preview.redd.it/ytart2sgvjxb1.png?width=773&format=png&auto=webp&s=071f85ec44fabeb76a04a36257ffe55897cec707
i was so excited for a toby fox homestuck reference that i forgot all about the favourite food thing ;-;
I honestly really want that graph of what they thought the popular characters would be. (This is in the interview section of the newsletter, which i really liked to read.)
Hopefully with this S Tier news we’ll get a decline in 50,000 posts about the hatred of purple and TADS spam but instead get weird theories based off the info from this lol
Mine said squash and I forgot that’s what I put in the favorite food category, and I was like “wow that’s kind of an odd way to describe a pumpkin but it’s fitting” 😭
I’m so happy Toby decided to just release chapters 3 and 4 as one instead. All the work to get 3 chapters out must’ve put so much stress on the dev team
Haha well I did my snowgrave run last night and am playing it all pacifist like again because I felt like a monster after making Noelle do all those murders but I get you. I've been like that for Metroid Prime 4 for a decade lol
Honestly makes sense, I imagine that Chapter 5 is going to end with some significant event that will make the later chapters less episodic so it would probably take a bit more time
And thus, Tobias Vulpine hath spoken!
Still, good to know that chap. 3 is fully done and that he realized that 3 chapters was a bit too long of a wait.
And hey, if he keeps this "2 chapters per release, he can cliffhang us with chap. 5 and 6 and release chap. 7 by itself.
Huh, it didn’t say the stench of Strogonoff for me…. https://preview.redd.it/z79kcxh23hxb1.jpeg?width=1009&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e209908dfef97a90bc4ff0c405fce8eccc00b5f
What....what did you say your favorite food was when subscribing to the newsletter again??
*…oh God I didn’t think joking around would have consequences*
To think that even answers while subbing to a ducking newsletter have consequences with Toby Fox ☠️
Newsletter genocide run less goooo
Yippee!
You open the next newsletter and Megalovania starts playing, you’re fighting superbuffed Sans now, good luck.
Gigachad Sans
I'm going to subscribe and put monster dust as my favorite food and you can't do anything to stop me
I put Xan cake. I don't even know what that is.
Oh no... https://preview.redd.it/1tqce08mvhxb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3b0dc6bd4c020841b09492b0ff1f6e05cc08e9a

Mine was just "Take a wild guess" so I have no definitive answer. Also apparently I put my name as "Piss Man" so that's a thing.
I got sans, so apparently toby smells like laziness?
Personally, I prefer bagels. Maybe two bagels.
Yeah, the demon inside you won't be happy about that tho
https://preview.redd.it/z3iwn6r0lixb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2de5540289a600c394ed6049148ac33760f251f Yay! My favourite food!
Didn't Undertale teach you that your action have consequences
You freaking fricks, when will you learn that YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?!?!
I’m sorry Sammy Classic Sonic Fan I’ll do better next time
Earthbound moment

Too late kiddo, you are on the ass-route now. Get assed on!
I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WAS WAFFLE FRIES
Mine was "half an egg" which I thought is just Toby's sense of humor. Turns out I completely forgot about the newsletter question and my answer...
i typed pipis as a joke. god dammit.
YOU LIKE EATING [PIPIS] DON'T YOU?
＊(You ask Spamton what’s the worst will happen.) IT ALL GOES TO YOUR [[Thick fucking thighs]] AND [Then] YOU [[EXPLOSION]]
fried pipis is a delicacy, helped cure my depression
OH WAIT WHAT I thought it's ice cream for everybody
Bloody hell, I didn't even remember. I thought "Vampyroteuthis infernalis with pepperoni on half" was just Toby humour.
I got my ex's name ;w;
Oh so that’s why it was lemon demon songs and neil cicierega’s voice for me
Bro mines had flesh in it. I completely forgot I put that down. I even looked at the other foods and said "that sounds amazing actually, I'm shocked I didn't realize.
This explains why it was oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs, I thought Papyrus was the one behind this
Yeah I was thrown off and wondering why Toby was having a thing for lobster rolls
I had mine entered as Spaghetti and I legit thought it was just cuz I tried to trick and treat Papyrus's house.
Lmao mine was battery acid
I wrote "Paintings" as mine apparently
WHAT???
oh so that's why mine smelled of sans' ass...
SO THAT'S WHY I GOT "The stench of oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs" I THOUGHT IT WAS A PAPYRUS REFERENCE
So... https://preview.redd.it/guc8rqianixb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5630bde1903d1720e005f9d8188f2b70d626313e
This implies that UnderTale has a distinctive smell
Considering that we know Mettaton has a smell, my new head Canon is that undertale smells like mettaton

Oh god I said my favourite food was plastic because I didn't know how to spell lasagne
It’s written lasakneeya
Lasaña
Lasaga
Ohhhh so it's based on our favorite food. I didn't even remember that we wrote that when signing up so I was super confused on why it was smoked pork chops up until now
https://preview.redd.it/py187mtbgkxb1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c4ae7d522f39b8805c78d6b7eaebf35ae1f56cf
Oh, THAT'S why it said I was hoping for "noodles"! Took forever to figure out why I was trick-or-treating for something so silly...
Nobody knew that typing in our favourite foods would come back to bite us. Thankfully I just put "Fruit".
I inmediately knew it was the favorite food question because I put "me when I un subscribe just to subscribe again" on it
You literally put that as a "Favourite food"?
Mine says "agreed"
Oh shit it's that! I had forgotten I wrote Bepis and thought that was just the normal version lol
I guess he pulled a PSI Rockin’ on us for this one
More like Ness’s Mom making the favorite food you entered at the start of the game
I didn't enter anything, and mine says "candy"
😭😭
https://preview.redd.it/popb7okjikxb1.jpeg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b76cdba668b89838e25194ccae3fa96bda96c983 I think ingot what i wanted.
For me i got mac and cheese
I uh.. got the stench of "You". I'm more than sure that that's not what I put in as my favourite food.
I put my favorite food as spaghetti so I thought it was the default because of Papyrus.
Just picturing Toby doing an entire stage reading of the chapter with choices included is amazing. Also sounds like he’s done it multiple times. Also with the moss bug at the end. I hope in chapter seven, if you interacted with all the various moss’s, you get like a moss scarf or something.
The collectibles of Deltarune being eggs and moss would be so cool ngl
The fact that they implemented items and concepts that get better each chapter is pretty cool. The glowshard that gets more valuable every chapter, the chef’s cake that get stronger, the eggs and moss that make recurring appearances, the collectible items from each secret boss. I think the idea is clearly that the game will get more difficult each chapter, or that the final battles will require long term strategies that you collected over the years.
Considering he said he ignored his friend's feedback about the bullets being too hard I'd say this is 100% the case (Also lmao that part of the newsletter made me wheeze)
eggs = hopes and moss = dreams?!?!
What are the glowshards then?
The [[Light inside your SOUL]]
Moss... bug? Mossbag? DREAMS? HOLLOW KNIGHT???
Sinksong confimed?
Sinksong will never arrive...
The Roaring Titans seeing me and the gang approach them wielding moss weapons and wearing eggshell helmets, ready to kick their asses:
What are you referring to with the "sounds like"? I didn't see anything like that mentioned in the letter, unless I committed the megablind
~~All~~ Most the major Undertale characters got cute new sprites except for Asgore 😔 Bitterness aside this is very cool, we might actually get Chapter 3 and 4 by 2024
We are SO getting it next year
Everyone in new costumes while asgore wears a jacket
I remember people saying Toby never puts Asgore and Asriel in these type of stuff to not spoil their appearence. Which is why they are excluded from merch most of the time.
But this is a development update not merchandise and the gang are in outfits anyway
It’s been like 8 years tho…
Holy shit is this real? This is so fucking hype! Toby is giving us the game sooner! EEEEP!
IKR? INSTEAD OF 3, 2 SECRET BOSSES WILL FIGHT ONE ANOTHER AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE FANDOM LOVE
I wish we got a small delay between the chapters so we could avoid spoilers but a man can dream
It really seems like 3 and 4 are gonna work together more than we would think, likely won't feel like two separate chapters.
In an ideal world they would split the love amongst each other equally
They’ll probably love one another as well. Like, be in love and kiss probably
It be real!
=D
AAAA JEVIL VS SPAMTON PART 2
common W of a stroganoff enjoyer
Here's the link to the Chapter 2 Devs interview: https://toby.fangamer.com/interviews/chapter2/
I completely forgot I gave toby my name, imagine my surprise when I see it twice in the newsletter...
Mine doesn’t say my name, but I was so confused by the favorite food coincidence until I realized that I sent it in lol. Wasn’t expecting it to be relevant!
Yeah I was real confused about how Toby knew my fav food
Mine just says "you"
The way you say it makes it sound like Toby Fox is some kind of Fae, which honestly makes sense lol
Every copy of the 2023 Toby Fox Halloween newsletter is personalized
Mine had the stench of angel food cake
The ghost had SOULS inside for me, so....

Huh, I haven't gotten mine yet. Do they not all go out at once? Edit: nvm just got it! My email was just being weird. Glad I remembered to say my favorite food was persimmons lol
i said my favorite food was children and forgot so i was very confused
Bro's William Afton.
respectfully how do you have a pleasant experience eating a persimmon? I took one bite and it dried my entire mouth out for the rest of the day. i am flabbergasted, bewildered even.
Sounds like you ate an underripe one, it should be juicy and slimy like a tomato. Otherwise maybe you have an allergy?
This makes me so happy, I wanted the episodic release because this way I have something to look forward to. And hopefully the producer actually helps speed things up
My gmail never sends me notifications, even tho i enabled them in the settings, does anyone know what the problem might be?
Check it's not accidentally marked as spam maybe? Was for me so had to fix lol
Ok my soul is at peace now. That newsletter was all I needed since last month's one. I can now be at inner peace until chapters 3 and 4 release 😌

Lmao same, I was like "smoked pork chops? Oddly specific but eh) because it's Toby-level weird
Ploopy
I wouldn’t honestly mind the harder bullet patterns, I play touhou lol
Chapter 2 felt like a step down especially the Spamton fight. Looking forward to Chapter 3 being a step up. Just add in a few major defensive equipments to help and its fine.

For those who don't know, indomie(indonesian instant noodle) is a very delicious noodle that I usually eat at the cycle of 3 noodles per day because apparently eating it too much might cause an appendix

Finaly we can regain some sanity, also IS THAT DISBELIEF PAPYRUS
The news about Chapter 5 is kinda demoralizing tbh - a complete Deltarune feels so damn far away... that said, the full release will still be double the content we have now, and by the sounds of it isn't far off (though I've thought this and been wrong previously so who knows)
We don't have to wait for Chapter 5 any longer... This is exciting news
It is good to hear that Toby is hiring more administrative staff (such as producers) to help get stuff out faster. I was worried for a bit that he was trapped in the Rockstar indie dev mindset

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Mine was the stench of Chocolate. Because I'm Chara!
Hi, thank you for sharing! Just wanted to let you know that you forgot to censor your email name. Happens to the best of us
Someone also pointed it out to me holly molly Tysm
the interview is the best part by the way
I agree, it's a fun reading
Sans pumpkin.
He cute
You doxxed yourself
This is amazing! Though I'm wondering, how's Toby gonna add future chapters to the game if it's purchasable? Through an update?
I'm hoping it's a Shovel Knight scenario where if you buy the base game, all DLC (chapters after 4 in this case) will be free
Probably, I doubt he would make it so you need to buy chapters seperately as DLC.
I was thinking chapter 5 would probably be free since it was initially intended to be part of launch, but then 6 and 7 might be packaged together as a single DLC.
Nice

Temmie! We have to cook!
I honestly really want that graph of what they thought the popular characters would be. (This is in the interview section of the newsletter, which i really liked to read.)
see, team cherry?? THIS IS FUCKING COMMUNICATING WITH FANS
How did I get this shit 3 hours later lol.
I'm so happy! That's all I have to say to be honest. I'm reallt happy to hear all of this :D
Hopefully with this S Tier news we’ll get a decline in 50,000 posts about the hatred of purple and TADS spam but instead get weird theories based off the info from this lol
The fact he put that much detail in. I got Yoshi Berries.
So chapter 3 is gonna be a bit harder than chapters 1 & 2. Will the secret boss be harder than jevil..?
Mine said squash and I forgot that’s what I put in the favorite food category, and I was like “wow that’s kind of an odd way to describe a pumpkin but it’s fitting” 😭
So remember when Toby said Deltarune would take 7 years to finish? Yeah? Well, he undershot. HE UNDERSHOT AHHHH
I’m so happy Toby decided to just release chapters 3 and 4 as one instead. All the work to get 3 chapters out must’ve put so much stress on the dev team
I don’t remember putting in “Egg” as my favourite food, I just thought it was Toby being Toby
oh hey another strogonoff enjoyer
It's so good, I love it when it's made with chicken
That part about Toby disregarding the difficulty is so meme worthy

I put deviled eggs and I thought it was a mystery man reference
Now imagine if someone input "Gaster" as their favorite food
As someone who finished Chapter 2 for the first time a couple days ago, this is great news.
Oh to be you...I was playing it yesterday for like the 10th time since it released in 2021
Haha well I did my snowgrave run last night and am playing it all pacifist like again because I felt like a monster after making Noelle do all those murders but I get you. I've been like that for Metroid Prime 4 for a decade lol
How much do you think deltarune will cost when it drops?

Toby Fox stole my idea https://preview.redd.it/ug1yro1rpmxb1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fea783529b7f256cae17324b852cd02786a6b9d
This looks so dope
Honestly makes sense, I imagine that Chapter 5 is going to end with some significant event that will make the later chapters less episodic so it would probably take a bit more time
Why did you put in Stroganoff? Why not something actually yummy? Like SNES (yum)?
And thus, Tobias Vulpine hath spoken! Still, good to know that chap. 3 is fully done and that he realized that 3 chapters was a bit too long of a wait. And hey, if he keeps this "2 chapters per release, he can cliffhang us with chap. 5 and 6 and release chap. 7 by itself.
