Nintendo Everything • • technology
Key Points:
- Toby Fox, creator of Undertale and Deltarune, explained that official translations of his games are limited to Japanese due to his desire to maintain a version that matches his vision, which he can only ensure by working closely with translators he trusts.
- Fox has explored options with his publisher, 8-4, for other official translations but has not found a viable solution yet, though he remains open to future possibilities.
- Unofficial fan translations exist and are appreciated by Fox, as they allow broader access without the pressure of official perfection.
- For Deltarune, supporting additional languages is currently not feasible from a development perspective, as it would delay the game's release.
- Fox expressed regret for any frustration from fans, especially in Latin America, emphasizing that his silence was not intentional and that he values his global fanbase.
