Toby Fox

**Robert F. Fox**, better known by his preferred name **Toby Fox**, and formerly **Toby "Radiation" Fox**, is an indie game developer and music composer born on the 11th of October, 1991, who occasionally goes by the internet pseudonym **FwugRadiation**.

## Works

Toby Fox started his career of game development by making with making RPGs with his three brothers, using a translated version of RPG Maker 2000. However, none of them have been finished or released.

His first claim to fame was his creation of the *EarthBound Halloween Hack* (also occasionally known as *Press the B Button, Stupid!*), which he released in 2008 while being a member of the EarthBound fansite starmen.net, where he managed a subsection of the site's forums dedicated to PK Hack, a tool for modifying the EarthBound game.

Before making the Halloween Hack, he made another, relatively obscure romhack called Arn's Winter Quest, which was much more lighthearted and humorous.

Toby Fox's music first appeared in *Homestuck* in the flash page [S] John: Sleep, with the song John Sleeps / Skaian Magicant. Fox later became the leader of the Homestuck music team, organizing the musicians, and editing their tracks to fit with the comic scenes, being able to make and change most of the music needed quickly. In the Homestuck credits, he was credited for "making most of the custom sound work".

On the 15th of September, 2015, he released the RPG *Undertale*, which he wrote, developed and composed with art contributions from Temmie Chang. In Undertale, he is represented by the Annoying Dog.

Continuing his work with Homestuck creator Andrew Hussie, Toby Fox also worked with James Roach on the soundtrack for the adventure game *Hiveswap*, which was released on the 14th of September in 2017.

On Halloween 2018, Toby released chapter one of a spin-off *Undertale* game under the name *Deltarune*, in which he wrote, developed, and composed the music for as he did *Undertale* with voice contributions from Laura Shigihara and art contributions from Temmie Chang yet again.
