I find it inspiring how well Undertale and Deltarune were recieved despite the code making me want to cry.

My friend and I talked about like a dozen different ways to store and load text. And Toby is here literally checking hundreds to thousands of possible combinations of rooms and coordinates for dialogue.

another instance of Toby Fox simply saying “fuck it we ball” and doing something because he wants to. Toby himself even admitted to not knowing how to code or program. Underneath the surface, undertale is a huge jumble of chaos. that being said; I’m very interested in these conversations and feel free to spill more lore to me anytime !!

Toby Fox fact #7

Welcome to Hell

Keep in mind, Toby did not know how to program and had over 864 case statements. He was using the outdated version of Game Maker Studio, which is notoriously finicky and has many quirks. Great job Toby.

Toby Fox is a W celebrity

Sometimes I forget Toby Fox is rich. I imagine him as a normal dude who's in a "comfortable" financial place. But then I see him donate 25 thousand dollars to charity.

W Toby for not living a glamorous selfish lifestyle, and using his advantages to provide to others.

The fact that I forget that he's rich and famous just shows that he's humble, and does a great job at it!

Nontoxic wholesome and modest guy. Setting a wonderful example for Taylor Swift, who doesn't need a private jet to reach the other side of her couch for her TV remote.

W Toby Fox for not over charging for merch or games. With his comfortable financial situation, he was able to make his games FREE. Most games are 60-70 bucks. Not everyone has that money.

THANKS TOBY FOR BEING CHILL.

Toby Fox fact #67

Toby Fox met Temmie Chang on Tumblr! He commissioned her to help with UNDERTALE. They would Skype, and Toby would "info dump" about his ideas for the game. While trying to solidify Papyrus' personality, Toby would send Temmie text messages pretending to be Papyrus.

Toby Fox Fact #5957

Did you know that Toby didn't know what a .WAV file was, when he began producing music for Homestuck?

Friend: Toby, what the hell is this...? Just save the individual tracks as WAV. files so you can piece them back together in a-

Toby: FUCK IT WE BALL

Friend: what-

Toby: FUCK. IT. WE. BALL. * SOMEHOW converts all his music into GIF format*

How to compose like Toby Fox

I analyzed Toby's music... here's the backbones to his songs, and various Toby techniques! I included ways to get started with recording your music! Read more to see 👀

Battle themes

For the music Toby uses in his battle themes, he starts with a 1-2 measure long riff. He gradually adds in more instruments, looping the original track from the intro. A simple tune you can hum to. After adding in several instruments, he adds the bridge of the song. He removes the beginning melody and lets the background music continue for a measure. Then he slows down the song and keeps one instrument. After that he adds a buildup and changes the octave, or adds harmony to the final chorus. At the very end, he adds a finale that ties the beginning to the end of the song.

Background music

For the background music during exploring, he makes the songs easily "loopable" so the beginning fades into the end. He uses orchestra sound fonts and ambient noise. During emotional short cut scenes he uses faint opera vocals as well. Don't forget the random wind whooshing sounds.

Instruments used

Undertale mostly focused on chiptune synthesizers and 8 bit sounds. Toby branched out to orchestra instruments in chapter 1 of Deltarune, and emphasized his piano skills. In chapter 2, he fell in love with the harpsichord that he'd romanced many years ago in his homestuck side gig. Thank goodness he left the weird overused synth pitch bending in his past. Good grief, that was... creative. Toby's been experimenting with brass instruments, which makes sense. Toby played trumpet in jazz band during high school. After his work on Pokémon, Toby's music has become diverse, and each song has a unique twist. Working with other artists was definitely a great step for him! Don't be afraid to reach out to other beginner musicians and collaborate!

Making music like Toby

To make music like Toby... experiment! Create a long-term relationship with the harpsichord and mash notes together until you find yourself playing them over and over, nodding your head in satisfaction. You gotta quickly record the track and tweak it later so you remember what it sounds like.

Simple ways to record music

Music professionals will K1LL me for this one. Here's some ways to begin recording music without buying that 1999$ springo bingo synth board with the doodoofart pro vst producing sound bit 2000.

Using these tips, you can record and change sound fonts! Once you record your track, you can mess around with the sound on your recording device! That's how Toby has so many instruments 👀

Look up videos on YouTube about converting music into wav and mp3 files. Toby didn't know what a wav file was when he began music production! Don't be scared of all these fancy weird words. You'll catch on! There's no shame in going on the web for help. Music production can get very complicated with random errors and shit. (I have cried over my piano before) That's what reddit is for! Frustration is inevitable. Just take a deep breath and STAY DETERMINED. Even if you can't play piano? Watch tutorials and practice! Toby is self taught and doesn't write sheet music!

If you have an electric piano keyboard, you can hook it up to a computer with a cable that's easily found on Amazon. You can also use an iPad pro, hook THAT up and record it in a program like garage band. I recommend investing in studio one 5 on your computer! If you've got studio one... get a vocaloid software bundle and mess around with piapro studio 👀 add vocals!!! There's some cheap vocaloids out there! Toby's worked with some vocaloid producers in the past! Mess around and have fun!

Get creative!

The keyboard is your playground. Toby says that simplicity is important. He mentioned this in the annotations included on the sheet music that came with the undertale collectors edition. You don't need to go overboard with advanced shit to sound professional. Some of the best songs are simple and catchy!

Toby would want you to be kind to yourself and your hands. Be patient. Music takes time! Make your own songs and follow your own path. Create your own style so when people hear your music they know it's you!

Good luck!

I had a dream that I met Toby Fox at a meet and greet hosted by Hot Topic. I gave him some artwork that I made and he gave me a big hug. While hugging me, he whispered in my ear, how much he hated Hot Topic and wanted to go home. He didn't even sign a licensing agreement for Hot Topic to sell his merchandise, and he didn't know how he got roped up in this whole meet and greet thing. He told the company not to announce on their social media accounts that he'd be at their store to sign merchandise. So I was the only one who showed up. In the end, I smuggled him out of the store like shoplifted merchandise and set him free.

TOBY FOX FACT #13576

Heya, do you think Toby will return to in-person events?

Toby Fox kinda crept back into the shadows once he began receiving too much popularity from rude crazy fans. He makes far more appearances in Japan, because his fans there know how to be respectful. He's appeared for interviews and stuff in Japan, but because everyone is RESPECTFUL and doesn't share pictures of him all over the internet, it goes under our radar. Toby has mentioned that he deals with anxiety when leaving the house, Throughout his whole career, he's mentioned NOT wanting to be on a pedestal. His worst nightmare must be getting posted all over TikTok and Instagram with cameras and mics shoved in his face. So, basically, if American culture stopped being so media-based and selfish, maybe we would get a chance to shake his hand. In the meantime, he may make an appearance over video chat, or something may be streamed at a convention with his face being hidden. Toby used to attend PAX East as a regular, so maybe they'll include something about Deltarune CH 3 this year or next year? Heck, Fangamer always has a booth at PAX They interviewed Toby and helped him a lot. Fangamer sells Toby's merch and publishes the physical copy of Undertale. so maybe Fangamer will host some event in the future???

I hope and pray every day that he decides to crawl out of the woodworks. I have a bit of hope because recently there was a documentary published where he was comfortable showing his face!

Hope this helped!!

Can you mention moments of Father Fox that you think about a lot? Xd <3

Toby Fox is known to put on funny voices, and act out his characters when explaining ideas to his team, kinda like a puppet show...

One of Toby's old Tweets where he wrote something along these lines. "At a family gathering, and my dad just pointed to my shirt and said 'My son made those characters!' I was wearing an animal crossing T-shirt.,,,"

Toby wrote in the annotations of his sheet music (in the undertale collector's edition) That the song he was most proud of was "Snowdin town" because his mom would whistle the tune a lot.

Toby Fox straight up calling his rom hack of earthbound a piece of garbage. He's able to make fun of himself.

Here's the best for last! Toby's brother made a game-- just for fun-- and he based one of the characters off of Toby. He named the character Rals. That was Toby's inspo for Ralsei.... Meaning he probably relates to Ralsei in some ways. I can't wait to see the character development for Ralsei. Will he evolve with Toby's current life?
