PROJECT QUESTIONS

What is FOUNTAINTALE?

FOUNTAINTALE is a fanmade sequel to Toby Fox' UNDERTALE taking place one year after the True Pacifist ending, focusing on what the characters of UNDERTALE are doing after being released and how they deal with an ancient dark threat...

Is FOUNTAINTALE a fangame? What is it being made in?

FOUNTAINTALE: PART 1 - A Beginning is currently in the works, it's a full chapter-sized fangame made on Kristal, a framework made with LUA on the LOVE2D engine.

Who created FOUNTAINTALE?

FOUNTAINTALE was created by Giselle Vero, also known as VexSaber. She's also the Lead Director and Lead Writer of Goner Group, the team behind the fangame.

Which ending of UNDERTALE is canon to FOUNTAINTALE?

FOUNTAINTALE is set after a True Pacifist 100% run, more specifically one where you do all the side-content, help everyone you can and after the adventure is over, you choose to become the ambassador of monsters and is adopted by Toriel.

In my UNDERTALE save I had a different ending, will I be able to import my save?

This game does not read any save from UNDERTALE or DELTARUNE, as the story we want to tell and the vision we have for this project can only happen through these circumstances. If you wish to see a sequel to the Neutral ending, Soulless ending or the "I have places to go." ending, FOUNTAINTALE is not for you.

When is the game coming out?

We don't know yet, we are working hard for a 2025 release, but things are still a bit unsure.

When are the comics coming out??

TALES FROM THE FOUNTAIN: Issue 1 comes out in Late-May/Early-June, so stay tuned for that! Issues 2, 3 and 4 coming at a later date.

How much progress does the game have at the moment?

We are making steady progress on the game's contents, you can check our completion sheet here. (Free of spoilers)

Will there be a demo?

No.

How many chapters are planned?

Currently, only PART 1 - A Beginning is in development, and it will remain that way until all of the game's features are ready. After that, the team will take a little break and think about what we all want to do in the future. There are LOTS of ideas for more FOUNTAINTALE, but it all depends on the public's reaction and the team's desire to make more.

When is the next newsletter?

Newsletters are made every 3-6 months after the last one, depending on how much progress we have made.

Have things changed since the UNDEREVENT trailer?

Plenty, basically everything you saw in that trailer is completely outdated, with the exception being some of Frisk and Stella's sprites.

What platforms is FOUNTAINTALE coming out on?

We currently only have plans for a PC, Mac and Linux release.

Is there a Hard Mode?

FOUNTAINTALE: HARD MODE is planned as a post-release update. No more details.

Are fan-translations of the game allowed?

If you wish to translate FOUNTAINTALE to your home-language, please contact us on our Discord.

What are the guidelines on shipping?

As long as you respect characters' ages and sexuality, sure.

What happens once more DELTARUNE chapters come out?

Nothing! Not only is FOUNTAINTALE completely separate from DELTARUNE thanks to taking place in the UNDERTALE universe, it's also separate from UNDERTALE itself due to being a fanmade project, and thus an AU (Alternate Universe) by nature.

May it be DELTARUNE Chapters 3+ or new games in the UNDERTALE series, none of these will affect us in any way because our project is not meant to replace anything! It's simply an extra game made for people who liked UNDERTALE and want to see more of those characters, from people who liked UNDERTALE and want to make more with those characters!

Can I reupload your music to other platforms?

No.

Can I use your characters, music or art in my own projects?

It depends on your intentions.
Profile pictures, banners and similar things: Yes, with credit to the artist.
Cameos, references and crossovers: Maybe? Make sure to contact VexSaber on Discord first so we can discuss it.
Background music on streams/videos: Yes, with credit to the artist. ONLY on streams and videos, do not use our music on your own fangames or projects.
Anything else: No.

Can I join the team?

If you're interested in joining the team and feel like you have the right competencies to help on this project's development, contact vexsaber on discord!

STORY QUESTIONS

Is DELTARUNE canon to FOUNTAINTALE?

Due to taking place in a version of the UNDERTALE universe, FOUNTAINTALE is completely disconnected from the DELTARUNE universe, whatever happens in the plot of DELTARUNE's chapters will not affect FOUNTAINTALE at all.

Do darkners work the same in this universe?

No, they function quite differently in this world in ways that they didn't in DELTARUNE.

Are they not objects in the light world then?

Their bodies are.

Will any DELTARUNE lightners and darkners appear?

Similarly to how DELTARUNE shares some elements and characters with UNDERTALE, FOUNTAINTALE does too, characters like Noelle, Berdly, Dess, Catti, Alvin and others exist in this universe, even if they have some differences. As for darkners, you might see some familiar looking faces here and there but no DELTARUNE darkner will ever make a direct appearence in FOUNTAINTALE, they can only exist on that world. This is not a roleswap AU after all.

What about the Pawns in Part 1?

DELTARUNE has quietly introduced the concept of Darkners having "Sub-Species".
Queen, King and Lancer all belong to the same "sub-species", other examples are like the Addisons, the Jigsaws, the Plugboys and Werewires and many many others.
In FOUNTAINTALE, you will never see a direct appearence of a Darkner from DELTARUNE, but a new character that belongs to the same "sub-species" might appear once in a while, and that's what the Pawn Family is!

Where do the characters live now that they've escaped the underground?

A large portion of monsters have departed far away from Mt. Ebott, but most iconic faces including our main characters are now living on Ebott Town, a small city located near Mt. Ebott.

Will the Kickstarter characters re-appear?

Glyde, So Sorry and Muffet will not be making a return in FOUNTAINTALE, we are not comfortable with using them due to personal reasons.

How many endings are there?

PART 1 - A Beginning only has one.

Then doesn't that mean nothing I do matters?

You already know the answer, don't you?

Who's the secret boss of Adventure No.1!???

Watch for the tower.
