:plue:

bro i wish the game store where i live did this: deltarune #deltarune #undertale #viral - YouTube

Deltarune memes 1 #deltarune #tobyfox

I asked Google ai mode to make a deltarune au and it actually sounds cool

the thing

Here is a concept for an original Deltarune Alternate Universe (AU) called Deltarune: Overexposed.

:milky_way: The Core Concept

In this AU, the fundamental premise of the Light World and Dark World is flipped. Instead of Dark Worlds being hidden, localized pockets created by open fountains, a massive Light Fountain was opened in the Dark World. This forced the surreal, object-based Darkners to materialize permanently into the mundane Light World.

The small town of Hometown is now struggling to cope with a sudden, chaotic refugee crisis of sentient playing cards, computer programs, and toy dinosaurs trying to live regular civilian lives.


:busts_in_silhouette: Character Roles & Shifts

  • Kris & Susie (The "Cleanup Crew")
    • Instead of heroes prophesied to save the world, they are treated as an overworked local neighborhood watch.
    • Kris wields a blunt wooden sword from the real world, still carrying the Player's Red Soul, but treating it like an annoying, parasitic GPS.
    • Susie wears a neon high-visibility vest over her jacket, using her axe to smash rogue Dark World foliage growing through the town's asphalt.
  • Ralsei (The Outcast Prince)
    • Because he is made of pure darkness, he cannot withstand the harsh sunlight of the Light World without fading.
    • He wears a heavy, oversized raincoat, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed sunhat at all times to protect his form.
    • He runs a makeshift support group out of the unused school supply closet for displaced Darkners.
  • Noelle & Berdly (The Bureaucrats)
    • Noelle works alongside her mother, Mayor Holiday, attempting to legally categorize Darkners (e.g., deciding if King Spade counts as an invasive species or a citizen).
    • Berdly acts as a self-appointed "Darkner Integration Liaison," aggressively teaching Darkners how to use Light World technology like microwave ovens, usually resulting in fires.
  • The Secret Bosses (The Megastars)
    • Jevil escaped his basement prison only to find himself in a world with actual laws. He was immediately arrested for public disturbance and now lives in Undyne’s jail cell, which he treats like a luxury hotel.
    • Spamton finally achieved his dream of reaching the Light World, but it didn't fix his glitches. He now operates as a hyper-aggressive, fraudulent infomercial host on Hometown's local public-access TV channel.

:cityscape: Subverted Mechanics

  • The Battle System: Battles don't take place on a stylized black grid. They happen directly on the streets, sidewalks, and back alleys of Hometown.
  • The Tension Point (TP) Gauge: Replaced by Exposure (EX). Moving too close to enemy attacks doesn't just build magic power; it causes the real-world environment to briefly glitch and reveal the underlying code of the universe.
  • ACTing: Instead of pacifying monsters to seal a fountain, ACTing is used to convince frantic Darkners to calm down and follow local zoning laws before they accidentally destroy property.
why tf is Google ai mode so good at making deltarune aus

To create a take on Deltarune: The Other Puppet that bypasses the traditional "Puppet Pipeline" swaps (which usually flip Kris with Spamton and Susie with Jevil), we must shift the conceptual baseline.

Instead of a role-swap, this take—titled DELTARUNE: THE CORD-CUTTER—focuses on the literal theme of "the puppet," restructuring the universe around the metaphor of control, mechanics, and physical strings.


:thread: Core Concept: The Cord-Cutter

In this universe, the Dark World is not a fantasy realm but a colossal, clockwork theater backstage.

  • The lightners do not change identities or roles; they change states of autonomy.
  • Darkners are categorized by how they are controlled—by strings, by wind-up keys, or by digital frequencies.
  • The overarching goal is not simply sealing fountains, but choosing whether to sever the strings entirely or seize the control bar for yourself.

:performing_arts: Character Archetypes & Re-imaginings

Rather than swapping characters into each other's outfits, the characters are transformed by the literal "puppet" mechanics of the world:

Character The "Other Puppet" Visual & Mechanical Shift
Kris The Wooden Vessel. Literally carved from mahogany. They do not have a soul pulled from their chest; instead, the player controls a massive, ghostly Control Bar (Crossbrace) floating above their head. If Kris moves too far from the center, the strings yank painfully taut.
Susie The Unstrung / The Junk-Pile Brawler. A crude, heavy clay figurine that was discarded because she couldn't be balanced on strings. She fights with pure momentum, breaking the stage layout and ignoring the "turn-based" boundaries because she isn't bound to the grid.
Ralsei The Stage Manager. A soft, plush hand-puppet who speaks directly to the floating Control Bar (the Player) rather than to Kris. He guides you on how to properly manipulate Kris's strings to "perform" the acts correctly without snapping the wooden joints.
Spamton The Wire-Hanger Merchant. Not a localized superboss, but a recurring hazard integrated into the scenery. He is a tangled mess of copper wires and coat hangers hanging from the ceiling rafters, desperately trying to hook his wires onto Kris's control bar to siphon off your "Player input."
Jevil The Mainspring. A chaotic, tightly-wound clockwork jack-in-the-box trapped inside a music box mechanism. He isn't locked in a basement because he is mad; he is locked away because his spring is overwound, threatening to shatter the gears of the entire theater if released.

:gear: Unique Gameplay Mechanics

  1. String Tension Gauge:
    • Replacing the TP bar for certain actions, Kris has a Tension Gauge.
    • Moving, dodging, or attacking builds tension on the strings.
    • If the gauge hits 100%, Kris enters a "Snapped" state—they deal massive damage but become entirely unresponsive to player directional inputs for two turns as they collapse.
  2. Puppet ACTing:
    • Instead of talking, ACTing requires you to use the arrow keys to make Kris perform specific marionette gestures (e.g., Bow, Dance, Collapse).
    • Darkners respond to the quality of the performance rather than the words spoken.
  3. The Soul Reversal:
    • During boss fights, you don't move the Heart Soul. You move the Control Bar at the top of the box.
    • The Heart Soul dangles below it on physics-based strings, meaning you have to account for momentum and swing-radius to dodge incoming attacks.

:musical_note: Key Track Concept Overhauls

To distance this take from the standard Puppet Pipeline motifs:

  • "Don't Forget" :right_arrow: "Tangled Threads": A melancholic music-box arrangement played completely out of tune, featuring heavy wooden clicking noises stepping in rhythm with the melody.
  • "Rude Buster" :right_arrow: "Splintering Wood": A aggressive, percussion-heavy track dominated by xylophones and snapping cello strings to represent Susie's destructive, unaligned fighting style.
  • "BIG SHOT" :right_arrow: "HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER": Rather than a glitch-pop anthem, this is a frantic, sweeping orchestral track dominated by aggressive violin plucking (pizzicato) and screeching metallic feedback as wires scrape against the ceiling.

Wherefore would thou use AI? :berdlystrangle:

for strictly funny and nothing else

TO: hOW dOug dOug uSEs iT :P

literally, someone has to elaborate on these aus they are literally gold

TO: sTop pWazinG aI iTS dUmb aND bAdsHit >:(

tbf there are some niches ai can be useful for
such as science and stuff like that
or making unique deltarune aus

:maddummy:

TO: uH hUH uH hUH >:?

oh so dougdoug is instantly satan because he uses ai for funny

ai makes me frustrated

I don't need it telling me the answer everytime I Google something

half of the time its wrong

How about we just laugh it off and call it a day, everyone?

is in the corner eating popcorn
