Did Toby Fox give up on video gaming?

[rman88]

ya i cant help but look at this and question the current actions toby has been taking. mainly that he has pretty much been resting on undetale success and doing nothing with it. which in all honesty that might be the best thing.

lets be honest hear, undertale might be too much of a game to beet. and if he were to fail in the eyes of the fans. he could fall in line of all these popular devs who pretty much got their carrier ruined from being unable to live up to the hype. combine that with how toxic things have been getting.

so undetail might be his one and only game. his one hit wonder if you will. and while it might seem like a bad thing. in the end would you rather have his next game fail to live up to the hype?

As someone who really enjoyed Kero Blaster despite multiple people telling me it wasn't worth my time because it's not as good as Cave Story, yes, I rather would.

Also kind of hard to kill your career if you already ended it prematurely by not doing anything.

Looking at TobyFox's posts and opinion regarding his own game. I think he knows that his success is a lightning in a bottle kind of event, and he also probably won't be able to replicate it ever again........

But in the end, eventually he will get that game creation itch (And monies?) and he will debate where to create a new game or not, and even if it will be related to Undertale or not......

Really he shouldn't just be waiting around the sucess of Undertale (unless it got him enough to retire somehow) and instead should be progressing on making a new game wether or not it is based on Undertale or a completly new direction.

At the very least I hope Toby is gathering ideas for a new game for if/when they feel like starting a new game and as dat_potatoe said you can't kill your career if you just give up on it before it even has a chance....

Doubt this will be his last game, but then again doing something similar, specially without a company behind, is no easy task. Inspiration doesn´t come that easily.

he's working on something. dunno if it'll be as good as undertale though

i think he'll remaster/do a directors cut of undertale much later on, because no self-respecting artist would keep undertale bound to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sophomiric game maker pseudo-engine at 30 fps

Well, he technically didn't quit in videogaming, as he's making the soundtrack for a game based off Homestuck (project he's been working on for the last 7 years) called Hiveswap, you should check it out
