UPDATE: The SECOND early access draft is out! check the attachments to see it! (There are a number of extra watermarks in it to make it inevitably clear it's a work in progress, just in case)

Hi there! After the release of chapters 3 & 4 of deltarune, I was left with a severe deltarune brainrot, so much so that I decided to make my own intepretation of the evens of CH3!

Hi there! After the release of chapters 3 & 4 of deltarune, I was left with a severe deltarune brainrot, so much so that I decided to make several fanarts, animations, and things of the sort to celebrate the release of the game!

As you might have noticed on the last post, Toriel is one of my favorite characters in the game so far, so you can understand how frustrated I was when I saw she wouldn't really be in chapter 3 as I expected.
So I thought to myself: "If Toby wont give me that, then I can just make it myself!"

This will be a parallel story to the events of Deltarune chapter 3, while Kris, Susie and Ralsei are participating in Tennas TV show, Toriel wakes up from her sleep and escapes her prison!
Will she be able to find out what's going on? or will it just be another dream?

I know this seems sudden to people who are waiting for the release of the part 2 of the NSFW animation project, but just be assured I will be working on both that and this project at the same time. Thank you for your patience! <3

Progress log:

18/09/25 | Animated 4 more shots for the project, including a parallax walking scene which was a challenge to get done! I've been working really had to get this done befoer the UT anniversary, but sadly I couldn't get it out by then :(
