I've been wondering where in the "Idealism vs Cynicism" spectrum will Overtale fit in. Being a fangame of Undertale, it is obviously more on the idealism side of things, however I do suspect it is a bit more on cynicism than Undertale since it is going to be set on the surface, and surface has humans in it, which compared to monsters, are quite pessimistic and cynical creatures. This would make an interesting concept though. How will your ideals and morals fit on a cynical world? How will your determination be when met with failure after failure in a world where, sometimes, your best is not enough? These questions can make for an awesome narrative. Thoughs?

I can only simply agree. With a creative mind, these topics can let us have great and deep expierience. Just the way the fans woud love to spend their playthrough... And I am very optimistic about this part of the game - it does seem ike they plan to improve the system of giving us a free choice of action. And it is curious how you can still defy the future by your actions, aside from some really difficult choices... That should be a heck a lot of pleasure for people who enjoy realise their personality through similar expierience. And that makes genocide a far worse expierience that we could imagine. I would like to see if anyone could stand their own actions, which they would do simply to get to that "bad" ending... Ugh. Probably nothing but disgustment, regret and sometimes even moral horror over your own actions. But all in all, if we take the focus more on pacifist, then we will have a good classical struggle, that often lasts till the end, between these two sides that you choose from... Either you fill your life with hope and belief, and just do what is right no matter what, either you just stop denying this, always seducing wish to give up. Flowey have spent a lot of time trying everything out, but in the end he became whom he became, since he coudn't feel neither anything for anybody, neither anything back from anyone at all. And here Asriel indeed, will probably have real pleasure in being an altruistic person. As we can see from Underta's canon ending, that is who he really is. A somebody, who is okay with sacrafising him own self for the sake of everyone else. And I am more than excited to see what does love, effort and care look like, in a form of a game, that is Overtale. Prepare your bags everybody. In couple years we are going on an even greater feel trip!

Looking back, I should have probably named this thread "Idealism vs cynicism".

Oooh, It's been a long time since I posted here. So long in fact, I lost my old profile XD To break the ice, I would really enjoy seeing a more true to life take with the game. Having some cynical characters in contrast with Asriel's possible idealistic view on life. Should make for some Interesting ideas.
