David Simon ("The Wire" creator) on NPR almost 3 years ago.

A portion of a transcript of an interview between NPR journalist Ari Shapiro and "The Wire" creator David Simon:

SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Around 2% of my brain is permanently dedicated to thinking about UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE. I don't know how to turn it off. Please help me.

ominous...

what's so special about indie games? That is heart. When people make games, they put their hearts into the game. The creators' individuality. The creators' dream. The memory that the creator couldn't forget. The nightmare that the creator wanted to forget.

Hey Toby, I noticed that the countdown timers on deltarune.com and deltarune.jp seem to be counting down to different times. Is this a bug, or is Deltarune releasing 13 hours earlier in Japan?

The homepage of deltarune.com, with a timer counting down to Deltarune's release. The timer shows 59 days, 9 hours, 15 minutes, and 36 seconds left.

I added an older shadowkristal animation to the end (and did some other stuff).

We hit an even higher peak today of 11,071 concurrent users!

If anyone hasn't see the timeline from last Summer, this is actually incredible news. Of course, it's possible the timeline has changed a bit since then; Toby may have decided that Pluey is too important to implement so late, but it still seems like Deltarune Tomorrow is a fair conclusion to reach.

Does this mean chapter 4 translation is nearing completion? Or have plans changed since the holiday newsletter.

Slightly older Twitter version said chapter 3 and 4 will "also" release this year. Probably just weird phrasing.

Jockington with a speech bubble saying "Happy New Year, friends! Don't forget, Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 will also release this year in 2025!" Text next to Jockington reads "(his catch phrase)"

I just took a look through the Deltarune dialogue dump, and as far as I can tell \I0 always refers to the attack icon, and \l1 always refers to the defend icon. That seems like another plausible explanation, and a significantly more plausible explanation than "ATTACK water DEFEND cat" or something.
