Yes, that is exactly what I feel like asking everyone here.
What have you all been through before, and after playing Undertale? Have it had a tremendous effect on you, like it had on me, for example? I will tell my "story" a little later, since I do not have time right now. But I am still being curious if you people have anything interesting to tell. Also, one more question: I didn't really experience a lot of games, including the most famous games based on choices like Walking Dead and such, and haven't even watched playthoughs, really. So, can you all confirm thath Undertale is far better than anything you've ever played like that, before? Since, for me it's literally the best game I've ever played, and I wanted to make sure I am not just exaggerating, when thinking it is objective to say so.

Im going to understand your "here" as forums. After watching few JSE undertale videos I got the game myself but never finished pacifist route before watching that and genocide videos. I found Overtale gamejolt page which went on until forums were established and been lurking on both sites since then. About UT, it was one of two games that made me cry, other being Valiant Hearts, and it literally changed the way I see the world. Before UT I cant really recall, just living life and only thing to look for was new JSE videos. Now I have 3 sites to look for :3

A youtuber I liked started playing Undertale (his YT name is Ris Grestar), I watched the first minute, but the moment Flowey did his thing, I knew it was a game I was supposed to play, not watch. So I played it and really enjoyed it. Being part of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fandom, it was only natural I would like Undertale (both games have a bittersweet story with awesome soundtrack). Undertale is now my favorite narrative game, adn I think it encouraged me to be a better person. Anyway, some time after finishing it I looked on the web for Undertale stuff when I found Dreemurr Reborn, and that inturn led me to Overtale. So here I am.

When i first heard of Undertale i was like: meh, but when i saw how many positive reviews it got, i knew i had to give it a try (and i did not regret doing so). I never really thought story focused games would be anything i'd like to play, but Undertale proved me wrong (and i have been playing many of those kinds of games since, but Undertale still seems to hold on to me). Undertale is the first game that has ever made me tear up, and i guess it changed my view on life and death too. Before UT, i didn't really put much value in life (not that i was suicidal, don't worry), like, of course, death was bad, but why was it such a big deal when someone died (this sounds worse than it was, i just don't know how else to describe it)? I definitely understand that now. UT also did other things for me, but i won't bore you with that. In short, it just made me a better person, at least i think so.
I found out about Overtale because of a very slight mention in one of Inthelittlewoods videoes. I took some time lurking around on gamejolt and later the forums, before i actually posted anything.

The video is called parenting 101. It's about the binding of Isaac, the undertale mod. He mentions it in the start.

If they remember Overtale when it comes out this game could become a hit.

Short story, I farted. Long story, I was looking for some undertale AU, so I tried overtale. Then I farted by accident, then I got up, slipped, three of my fingers hit r p g and I found you guys while I was having my little concussion. Don't ask, my head slammed into the wall before I grabbed on to the table. No, I wasn't bleeding despite the wall being brick solid.

I can't remember all too well, but I think I spied Overtale's gamejolt page on the Undertale reddit. The rest is history!
As for Undertale, I found out about the kickstarter from a friend who'd tried the demo, and I found the demo pretty fun. I kinda forgot about it until it came out, and I bought it pretty fast after remembering.

Honestly, with all the talk about the game I wasn't very interested at all in it, thinking it was nothing but some new overrated game, but in the end bought it (I got the game after all the hype died down, in early February last year.) after hearing about it from a friend who was obsessed with it. I was lucky enough when I played it that all I knew were there was two skeletons in the game and one made bad puns a lot, the game became one of my favorites and my reset rampage started in hopes of finding every outcome... the usual for someone who gets bored of repeating the same thing again, but still won't stop doing it.
After finishing pacifist I just fell in love with Asriel's character and was browsing the Internet when i found Dreemurr Reborn, which after crying for an hour or two lead me here in the end.
Honestly nowhere near as interesting as anyone else's stories if you ask me but I need posts now since people are catching up to me.

Oh boi here comes that dem walls of text spammer! Okay, well... a bit too late maybe, but I finnaly got the time, so here is how I joined this community, and.. what I've been through, thanks to Undertale. (Yeah, I know - the text is just huge. That is one of my features... to make huge paragraphs. I am sorry, if you hate it.. I just can never let myself tell a story in several sentences... I just can't ;-; )So...I myself had a little wierd way of getting here.. since I never actually imagined I'd go through things like these. The first time I saw the game was on JackSepticEye's channel. I am not a huge fan of constanly playing various sorts of games, or just trying new stuff, in general. I prefer the ones that are tested by time, and that I enjoy. And I just couldn't bring myself to watch a let's play of Undertale, since if you remember, back then it was a short period of time when the horror RPG games had their bit of time in the fame of being made let's plays on. And honestly, when I saw the first scene in Undertale(with Flowey), I did not see any difference. It was all the same: you find the creatures completely evil and hateful, everything is dark and hopeles.. and even flower will kill you. I just turned the let's play off in 5 minutes. I couldn't like it enough to continue. I was just sure it was another boring and long and very casual RPG. So I forgotten about this game for several monhts... Then, I think 2 months after, I watched one of Jack's videos about answering comments, where he said something, which just made me astunned. The game that I was sure to add into the list of "too boring to even watch a let's play of" was called "One of the best games he have ever played, and certainly the best game of 2015". ...You don't know the confusion I had to deal with at that moment. I cant remember exactly, but I think I just paused the video and started thinking.. and I think even that same day, or even just after that, I opened his let's play of Undertale, and began watching the first part, forcing myself not to leave. I was not a fan of RPGs. I never played a good pixelated one, with a story in it, or even without. So... I just kept watching. I watched through the Tutoriel part, and... my curiosity leaped, when the Toriel fight ended, and of course wht Flowey's said to you.. It seemed so strange he didn't even try to kill you. And that only led to more questions... When suddenly, a bright light of the opened door leads you to completely unknown world, which welcomes you with cold forrests around you, with ominous music, and... a punny skeleton. The atmosphere literally just turns itself over, and all of the sudden it is a dialogue not between some horrifying and scary guy, but... just joking bag of bones, which leads you through his brother's "trap", and helps you start your journey, asking you for a little favour. I have to say, though - a lot of people told me they got hooked by the very first unexpected moment - Toriel fight's ending. But I.. for some reason was probably too surprised with how good this actually turns out to be, so I remember mysefl going through this part sudenly intreged, but not that attached to it yet.. In any way, what really made me 100% sure this whole game is going to be an amazing expierience, was that moment when Papyrus tried to understand wether you are a rock or no, and that spinning they have made... It made me laugh for at lest, good 10 seconds. And then I realised... I can't leave this game untill I finish watching it. And it was kind of lucky for me that I was able to watch the whole things from start to finish, because the whole pacifist let's play was done by then! I have to say, just like everyone else I do confirm, that going blind is getting the best expierience out of this all. What costs only this Sans' revealing of the realities of this world. Your "exp" and "LV"... you suddenly realise they never were a good thing. And you just.. get shocked a little (probably). Noone in the history of gaming did that. Nobody broke the 4th wall in this way. And you suddenly realise.. this doesn't seem to be just a game anymore. It draws incredible parallels with reality... and you just get more fascinated and impressed. And then.. after you think you just won the game by defeating the king of the Underground... suddenly the whole world doesn't seem that realy anymore with Flowey creating a new one.. I have to admit: Jack's let's play was the best out of all, from what I saw through YouTue, when was watching stuff like "Youtubers react to this and that from Undertale" (since, it felt really interesting, and made me feel kind of proud they share the same emotions) And... wow. I never thought you can sometimes react so poorly... once I was watching them react to Asgore just crashing your MERCY option, and... I thought it was literally unexpected. And yet I saw people be with stone faces, not really caring about what have happened. I was incredibly dissapointed.. but at the same time VERY happy I have watched exactly Jack's let's play. His reactions to every part of the game were just sincere, with no fakery, and he as well went through this game with this natural naiveness and interest. And he influenced millions of people, so it let them expierience the game the same way. I honestly never have seen anything alike to Undertale, so it's infuelce on me was huge. I don't think many people have held their tears in the end. I still can't fully accept the fact that even those people "who do not cry" at anything, had enough bravery to come to the comments and tell everyone how they do not even understand why, but they broke miserably, and cried like kids... And.. I of course, too couldn't hold myself. I don't even have to say how much times i cried just from listening to His theme... But I can say one thing - through the first week I've had my first depression in my life. A "Post - Undertale" one. It wasn't too bad. But I could just not think of anything else... That ending kept flowing in my head, and all that was holding me from falling into being even more depressed is listening to "Memory" song. I actually listened to it for at least 3 hours through those 7 days... Anyway, not going to go that detailed. After those 7 days I accidentally found a video on YouTube that was called something like "A better Ending for Asriel". And I was desparately trying to find where was that from... Soon I found it by the link at some video on Youtube, either typed it in. ...I cried twice as much from seeing Azzy happy once again, than when I saw him being doomed for ever. And... well I don't think I ever felt that crush of emotions on me. I literally was ready to call that day the best day of my life. I really felt that way.. Heh. And so, uh.. after a month or so I once again accidentally typed "Overtale" in google, isntead of something else, and opened Overtale Gamejolt page. And so... here I am. (dont worry, Fecyrineu, I will do it for you) Having good time stealing posting other people's art, and enjoying conversating wiht you all on different topics!

Post by remixextender on Mar 25, 2017 5:17:51 GMT
There was a day, one day, before I was called the RemixExtender, that I was listening to some remixes. In those days, I listened to remixes to help me focus on my homework. Even back then it was demanding, the work that I had to do, and focus has always been in short supply for me. These remixes, especially those of video game battle themes, helped immensely. Though there was always one problem - I'd have to come back to the video and restart it myself. It broke focus and was very annoying. The closest solution at the time was to use looping tools like listenonrepeat, which automated the process. However, the beginnings and ends of these videos would still interrupt me and break my focus and immersion, and it didn't help too much. The problem was very irritating, and it drove me absolutely up the wall. I turned to video game music to see how I could fix this problem of mine. Video game music loops perfectly, because the developers made it so. It doesn't have the problem of having to deal with those annoying periods of silence before the loop, because they made it loop before that happened. It was to the point that people could make "extensions" of these songs, videos that looped for anywhere from ten minutes to an hour, simply because the loop was well done. And then it hit me - why not extend these remixes I was listening to?So I grabbed up a couple of remixes to test it out on and set to work. The trick was in finding the right place to loop it. It had to be completely seamless, otherwise it would be jarring and wouldn't be any better than using online loopers. Those first few remixes were quite easy to loop, as they had clearly defined sections of the tracks that flowed into each other fairly smoothly. Before long, I had my first extension: IKARUS's remix of "Power of NEO". It was viewed pretty well considering I was a new YouTuber without any viewers or subscribers. I made a few more, most from Undertale, one from Super Metroid, and one from Touhou, soliciting suggestions from listeners. After a while, someone answered. That resulted in this extension of Radix's lyrical adapatation of "Hopes and Dreams". With that, more and more people gave me requests to do, and soon all I was doing was listeners' requests. This resulted in a very important part of me being the RemixExtender: the idea of "remixer, requester, RemixExtender". The remixer always comes first - they're the ones that create this content that I was extending. I can afford no offense to them, and must show them the due respect they deserve. I made it a point to ask permission whenever possible before making extensions of their works. Additionally, I never monetized my videos, because who am I to make money off of someone else's work? And I always gave credit, both in the video and the description, to those remixers, because they need it. After the remixer comes the requester - I had a duty to the requester to give them, to the best of my ability, an extension with a loop that met my standards of seamlessness. I also had a duty to interact with my listenership whenever possible. I'd make my presence known in the comment sections of my extensions, conversing with people and becoming familiar with them. I came last in the relationship. I am the servant - I am the one serving remix extensions to the public. I continued in this manner, and became fairly successful at it. I grew to have a small but very familiar base of listeners, and considered myself successful enough to make this work as long as anything. That small but very familiar base of listeners was something I could influence, as I was soon to find out. There came another day when I was browsing /r/Undertale's newest posts, and I found something about a project called "Overtale". That, as you know, is the fangame that we've all been waiting for for so long. At the time, however, I didn't know anything about it. That something that I found was a link to a Q&A thread, where this comment chain happened. From there, I read up on the Dreemurr Reborn AU, and got around to finding as much out about the game as possible. Then I listened to "Upon Adversity", and I knew, down in the deep recesses of my heart, that I had to extend this music.So I did.And it got places.From that tweet on, I could tell things were going to be good. I soon made two more extensions, for Cognitive Dissonance and Anomalous Data. Both were fairly well received, and managed to attract many Overtale fans. And from then on, from time to time, I would make extensions of other Overtale soundtrack pieces. Adameme himself requested an extension - "Stand Fighter", from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure SNES game. I made a GameJolt account to participate in the comments section there, and I would update the subreddit with incoming news. I immersed myself in this little fanbase. That is how I ended up here. Through that YouTube channel, and my own obsession over Undertale fanmade content, I ended up in a forum for a fangame. Then time wore on, and senior year hit, took over my life, and I was forced to discontinue the channel. And when that happened, I was forced to cut down on everything. I had precious few things to keep going with, and being the RemixExtender wasn't one of them. And when I stopped being the RemixExtender, I stopped following this game and its progress. I'm told it's gotten to the point where they have to stay mum on everything lest they give spoilers away, which is frankly quite impressive, and I wish everyone on the Overtale team and here chatting away in the forums success in all your future endeavors.
