I wasn't going to say anything. I totally wasn't. I was trying so hard NOT to look for connections. But I've watched the "Skies Forever Blue" video over and over, and listened to the song over and over, and something inside kept saying, "It's Deltarune, it's Deltarune, it's Deltarune!" And then Bread posted this and I decided it was time to say something.
For my part, I just kept thinking, "Well, it's about a relationship between a character and a player, that's just Toby's proven style, that's why you see a connection," but I knew all along Toby was hinting at something here, I could feel it.
Anyway, watching the video and looking at the website, I noticed a few things....
youtube
Vaguely resembles the DR logo.
Also, I know they're just music notes, but they look like the same kind of notes we see from Sweet Cap'n Cakes in Cyber Battle. That could just be coincidence- I mean, how many different ways can you draw notes in pixel art- but it's interesting.
Uh, why is "[shine on through]" in brackets??? And it's the only lyric in the captions that is in brackets.
Ok, ok, that's probably nothing. That is probably just YouTube closed captioning, which I believe is automatic. In the official lyrics in the description, there are no brackets. It's just that it's freaky to see in this situation. I'll go ahead and toss this one in the [damn garbage can].
BUT, the idea of a heart shining is somewhat reminiscent of the SOUL glowing.
99? Why does this remind me of Chara?
She grabs her throat like she's choking. Or... drowning?
They jumped in the water and it turned into sky? Or maybe "heaven"?
That's the video. Now let's look at the website. HalfBreadChaos covered most of it, but there's a few things I want to point out in the credits section:
Toby is the Annoying Dog. No big deal, right? I mean, that's pretty much just his avatar now.
Why doesn't he actually list his involvement in this project, tho?
Why would somebody choose Flowey for their icon? Especially if this isn't UT related? Wait... wait... wait, wait, wait... Nah, that's silly. Heh, just cuz there's a golden flower in Asgore's bell jar and suspicious-looking vines blocking the bunker door and vines and things in Spamton's basement... Nah, that doesn't mean...
Surprisingly very good for something i made like 2 years ago. Never got to finish it thoo. It's meant to be like some sort of challenge putting all you fav characters in a chart of pokemon types. If i finished it. maybe it would've been a hit!
