... It's been a very long time, hasn't it...? The last game update (v3.1.0 preview build 4) was nearly 5 months ago, and the last progress update was back in November, over 7 months ago. Since then, the latest DELTARUNE chapters released, and with it came tons of new continuity and canon.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER RIGHT NOW!!! What matters is the state of DELTATRAVELER!

Section 4

We haven't started development on this part of the game at all yet. Why? Because I've wanted to do other things for a while. Like revamp the game, create UNDERTALE: The Last Amalgamate (watch now on the VyletBunni YouTube channel!!!), and The UT Bunnathon! I'm still not done with revamping the game. So why don't you go absorb DELTARUNE Chapters 3 & 4 some more? Speaking of...

v3.1.0 Expansion

We've been doing some thinking, and I've been doing some reflecting, and we realized that DELTATRAVELER could be a lot better than it is now. The fact of the matter is that DELTATRAVELER was not conceived as a major, in-depth project. I didn't expect the game to have ever blown up in the way it did, let alone did I expect to keep working on the project nearly 4 years after it started. Keep in mind that the first version of DELTATRAVELER was created within a month and a half solely for the "KRIS WHERE THE HELL ARE WE" Twitter trend, and realistically it should've taken WAY longer than 2 years for the first three parts of the game to be released.

So I feel that it's only appropriate that we revisit these past sections and refine our story. We have a lot of ideas and concepts for future content that I feel aren't telegraphed as well in the current version of the script, and we're VERY well aware of how lackluster the Obliteration route is in terms of tone and progression. No need to tell us again how overkill the blood pools are or how badly we characterized Noelle several patches ago.

Because we're aiming to do such a massive overhaul to the game's script, I felt it necessary for us to split v3.1.0 into two updates. v3.1.0 will contain all of the quality-of-life updates that you've seen thus far and the content updates we had planned before, plus the revised script and gameplay progression. v3.2.0 will primarily consist of the addition of Arena Mode. We apologize to anyone that was hoping we'd put more focus on Section 4 (or that we'd have started work on it at all), but we feel it's important to have a game that's in a better state so that future gameplay additions aren't so jarring.

If you're wondering if we're doing these changes due to our story's inaccuracies with DELTARUNE, the answer is no. This process was being conceived before the new chapters released. There may be some changes that end up lining up better with DELTARUNE, but we're still doing our own thing with the characters.

The UT Bunnathon

You may have heard rumblings of this if you follow me on my other socials, but I will be hosting a 5 day, 5 stream charity event from June 23-27 called the UT Bunnathon; raising money for the Trevor Project! I've invited some pretty well known names to participate in the event, like Shayy, CiblesGD, Dorked, BeholdMaxine, among others. Many of the events we have lined up for this are UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE focused. Notably, I have planned a developer commentary on both Inverted Fate and Ribbit in store for two of the streams.

DELTATRAVELER will be involved in some respect, too! One incentive will be a Music Track Wheel where per certain thresholds, I spin a wheel and play a random, unreleased DELTATRAVELER track out of context. Another (borrowed from the FUNERAL OF SPAMTON event) is a Spamton version of DELTATRAVELER Sections 1-3 where you play as Spamton and try to get as much KROMER as possible. And I even somehow convinced a few other projects (like UNDERTALE Plus and TS!UNDERSWAP) to reveal some new content as incentives as well.

More details will be revealed soon. Keep an eye on my YouTube channel and Bluesky page for updates on this event (or just wait until I post more on GameJolt).

And...! That's it right now. Gonna get the UT Bunnathon done with, and after that... it's back to DELTATRAVELER for a while! We may put out another preview build soon just to investigate vSync issues some more, but yeah.

See you soon!
