Toby Fox, the creator of UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE Chapters one and two, has a particular love of dogs. Big dogs, small dogs, any kind of dog really - canines feature prominently in all of his work thus far, and many characters, especially in DELTARUNE (Ralsei and Suzie jump to mind in particular) share more than a few attributes with dogs themselves.

Plus, of course, Toby Fox insists that he is himself an Annoying Dog, having been bitten by one several years ago, and since having transformed, werewolf-style, into a dog himself.

So where does this dog obsession come from?

From Secret of Evermore.

And, probably, from a number of other sources. Quirks like this don't tend to come from a single source.

In his latest column for Famitsu magazine, Toby Fox has spoken extensively about a game by the name of Secret of Evermore, a Super Nintendo title which features the "groundbreaking" (Toby's word) mechanic in which you can play as a dog.

In the article, Toby also reveals how the soundscape for Secret of Evermore, created by Skyrim and Knights of the Old Republic composer Jeremy Soule, inspired several of the songs that Toby created for UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE.

He also reveals that his diet growing up consisted mainly of JRPGs, and that this is why his bones are weak - especially given that many of these games didn't see a Western release at the time.

The source for this video is Famitsu magazing, there's a link below if you want to check it out, but bear in mind that it's in Japanese, so that may influence how much you get out of the article.

Lots of love,
BretonStripes and Kotor
