lime-bloods:

> it’s hard to interpret Spamton as anything but a kind of dark authorial stand-in, ala Lord English… but that “ala Lord English” is carrying a lot of weight on its shoulders. is the “it’s just like Homestuck” explanation the cheap & easy way out? (malo’s “undertale as homestuck midrash” comment has got itself stuck lengthways in the folds of my brain, especially after my musings about Homestuck being the first one to do “combat-as-social-conflict” the other week)

> it did come to my attention during recent Jevil attempts that the “secret boss locked away in the basement” thing could be a reference to the popular story about Toby developing Undertale in a basement…

jesus, actually, there IS something to talk about in that development update:

> Hard to believe it, but it’s already been around 1 year since DELTARUNE Chapter 2 was released. Even now there still seems to be a passionate fan base for what we put out, thanks in no small part to a disgusting man whose dialogue is probably closest to the way I talk in real life.

as much as I really didn’t want it to be true, I guess my gut instinct that Spamton was a stand-in for the game’s developer is true?! will I have to replay the game and give this interpretation a second thought…
