The Music of Deltarune AUs

Undertale's fan content was most clearly defined by the Alternate Universes that people made for it. Deltarune has been slow to recapture this AU craze that Undertale had, but already there are a few stand-out AUs that have been made. Plus, there's a ton of incredible fan content outside of just AUs. (Also I mostly talk about the music because that's what I really care about)

  • One AU I really like is called the "salt route", which is like a weird route, but with Spamton instead of Noelle
  • @heroflame608
    I'd like to believe the lack of AUs led to the amount of creativity from the community now. Interested to see what the community will come up with after the next three chapters release.
  • @red-pn9ge
    FLEUR!!!! MY BOY, HE'S FINALLY BACK ON THE SCREENS OF MILLIONS!!!! HE'D BE SO HAPPY/ECSTATIC/OVERJOYED!!!!
  • Spamton isn't the only character getting original songs like you covered in the last section. There are quite a few focusing on Noelle too, mainly with Snowgrave as the theme. Such as "Girl Next Door" and especially "Stronger than Anything."
  • @sadbread7261
    I really like this video, show's a lot of perspectives I haven't seen before. Something obvious that I've seen is that there aren't a lot of Deltarune fan games. Because Deltarune is itself a lot more complicated mechanically and graphically than Undertale. More party members lends itself to programming problems and the non-black and white sprites make's art harder as well. All of this is why Deltarune AU stuff feels more special. Because it takes more effort to create something good and there's less of it that exists.
  • @TheWinterer
    Very cool video, thanks for making my day :)
  • I'm a bit disappointed there was no mention of the Ch 3 Metropolis AU that the creators, Huecycles and Lisspeed, said they intend to finish regardless of the real Ch 3's release. It has pretty decent music, cool art and sprite cutscenes, and their take on Mike and the secret boss Halojack have stuck in my head way longer than any others.
  • @godsclown4419
    that remix of alot of deltarune fan songs was just...amazing? I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was
  • @enemykiller30
    Would love if they swapped the characters based on the bigger picture. Assuming that the game is already done, some should think pairing up characters with opposite traits will work the best, imagine this: - Kris and Noelle Swap will make a ton of sense, both are lost of their siblings in Asriel (College...?) and Dess (Missing). Also some theorize that Noelle is the "Angel" the Prophecy describes and Kris is the "Knight" who summons Dark Fountains (Ch2 Ending). - A Susie-Ralsei swap would work the best, considering in Ch1, they really oppose each other. Susie quotes "Your choices don't matter", which conflicts Ralsei's "Oh Kris you're the leader, everthing is in your hands" type of act. But during Ch2, Susie and Ralsei really got along very well, which shows that even though they both oppose each other, they still can be and WILL be great friends. - King and Queen, obviously - Jevil and Tasque Manager would be an interesting swap, as they oppose each other by having Chaos and Destruction face against Order and Perfection. I'd just be perfect (But I'd still prefer Jevil-Spamton) Yeah, that's all that I could've think of, Deltarune really lacks a ton of characters to be swapped with the other, surprisingly, as one of the guys who swaps a character's music for another character's battle, I immediately ran out of ideas on who to swap. But there are still future chapters, who knows what "Tenna" and the Shadowmen would bring us. Also Dess, Asriel, and possibly Mettaton and Papyrus would definitely come afloat as well in the future chapters. We'll see in the future
  • Thank you for covering the songs I made! This is a really good video!
  • Great video! Alas, you're one of the few outside of the "AU Hell" group that actually recognizes stuff like TS!Underswap and Storyshift, and one of the fewer that dive into Deltarune fantracks outside of Puppetswap. Hope this spreads further!
  • @nintenguy6241
    As someone who makes deltarune au music, I can confirm everything you’ve said is correct
  • @gusgarrison9211
    I really quite like A Different Snowgrave by loganvcairns, Salt Route, and Deltatraveler. Simple things like "What if this segment played out differently" and "Meme pushed to logical extreme via a crossover fangame" just do it for me
  • @HACKYOfficial
    18:07 Actually slower background tracks are one of the more fun parts of doing vgm as a whole. Everyone already knows you can do boss/battle music so that brings the challange of taking your skillset to a completly different corner and still making a vibe. And that's exactly what I love about doing vgm. It's such a wide spectrum of sound your not limited to one type of sound for everything you make.
  • Yall know prunsel? I HAD A DREAM SPAMTON WAS LITTERAL CAN OF SPAM. And any time he talked [Spam!] is all he said. And also, his neo form, was A FIREWORK.
  • @orangeleaf2056
    Honestly, I kind of wish more people talked about AU music or even just general fan content like this. The songs are good and have a lot of time and passion put into them. This was a great video, and introduced me to a lot of good songs. Can’t wait to see more of your videos
  • @marze-88
    for some reason, i really love the “FLOWEY” track from deltatraveler. every time i remember it it stays stuck in my head for days. (btw, deltatraveler is an ongoing playable au fangame that i highly recommend! though it also has games other than deltarune)
  • @cooldude2722
    Man, this channel is the embodiment of “telling it like it is”. I’m impressed.
  • @Dandy4ask
    I love how you somehow became Spamton in this video, just putting in random clips from all over the internet was very funny
  • As small as it may be, the Deltarune AU portion of the Deltarune fandom is honestly quite exciting. Undertale AU's (or at least some of them) are already really cool, taking stuff from the OG game/story, and reinventing it into new stories. Deltarune is basically Undertale but more, so AU's coming from it already have a great head start of elements to fiddle around with. Personally my favorite ones already have to be Deltarune: Rift, Deltarune: Resurgent Star, Paper Trails, The Other Puppet, Chapter Rewritten, and Alter Heaven. They all do cool new takes on the original story, and add in their own ideas to make it unique, and it's nice you mentioned some of them in this video. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more videos!!!
