We got the new version of LTS but for some reason it's not recognizing saved files in specific scenarios when using game_change. Waiting on a response now.

Try Chapter 1 and 2 for free now!

FAQ
- Can you pet dogs in the first 2 chapters?
(crying) This FAQ is over!
Previously, Toby Fox said the following about Deltarune‘s release schedule:
“Chapter 3 is pretty much content complete! There will be essentially no more changes to dialogue or gameplay from here. Hooray! On my birthday, a friend came over to my house and played through the whole thing…
So, now that Chapter 3 is nearing completion… I think it’s a good time to re-discuss how we will release DELTARUNE for purchase. My original plan was to release Chapter 3, 4, and 5 together. However, the finish line of Chapter 5 is still pretty far off… and I don’t think anybody really wants to wait that long to release anything. Especially me.
So, new strategy: No more waiting for Chapter 5. Instead, we are going to focus on putting DELTARUNE out for purchase once we finish Chapter 4. That should make everything a bit more reasonable!”
