The creator of indie sensation Undertale, Toby Fox, has been told by his family and friends that a minigame he's been working on for follow-up Deltarune is a "cry for help," but in a good way.
Deltarune is an upcoming game with some familiar faces from Undertale, although it has a different setting. It's been in development for over six years and we've only got two chapters so far, with two more due out this year. Described as a "parallel story" to Undertale's, it contains "non-violent RPG battles" that function like bullet hells and have "funky, funky music."
Over on Bluesky, Fox shares something that's almost like a progress update: "I showed my family and friends a minigame I've been working on for DR and they all described it as 'a cry for help because your game is not out.'"
He follows up: "My family clarified that was a good thing. My other friend didn't clarify but they did laugh for about 10 minutes straight hearing me play it. Same friend who played Chapter 3 like over a year ago also told me 'I miss Tenna' and I was like 'man that's something no one in the world has ever said huh.'"
Tenna is a chapter three antagonist who hasn't actually featured in the first two chapters, so that's why that line is something no one has said before. It hurts to see others living the dream and playing this game before us, but hopefully, Fox can keep on schedule, and we get those next two chapters soon. You can play the first two chapters for free on Steam.
In the meantime, there are plenty of great games like Undertale that you can play right now to tide you over.

Kayleigh McEnany of Fox News has a new baby. Big sis is thrilled; big bro not so much
Kayleigh McEnany and husband Sean Gilmartin welcomed their third child — a girl. 'We are overjoyed to announce the newest member of the 'Outnumbered' family,' Emily Compagno said Monday during the Fox News Channel show she co-hosts with McEnany. She noted that viewers could see the baby 'letting out a big yawn' in photos provided by her mom and dad. Avery was born on Wednesday, the network said. McEnany tweeted Monday that she and her husband are 'so in love with our new baby girl, Avery Grace! Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life!' McEnany was a tad more nuanced in notes given to Compagno, who quoted the three-time mom as saying that while big sister Blake, 5, 'can't stop thinking about the baby,' big brother Nash, 2, had 'finally warmed up to her.' In her announcement, the former White House press secretary included Psalm 139: 13-14, 'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.' Compagno said the 'Outnumbered' crew, headed by Harris Faulkner, was 'wishing Kayleigh and Sean all the best as they continue to grow their beautiful family.' She told McEnany to please come back, but 'not too soon.' McEnany announced back in March that she and Gilmartin were expecting their third child. 'It's very sweet. It's been a special time,' she said. 'I've been pregnant during Christmas and during Thanksgiving, and my daughter Blake now knows, so she runs up and holds my stomach and is like, 'Let me kiss the baby.' ' The baby got in just under the June deadline that McEnany shared at the time. McEnany and Gilmartin, a pitcher who retired from professional baseball in 2022, started dating in 2015 and got married in 2017. After working in broadcast media initially, McEnany served as press secretary to President Trump from April 2020 through the end of his first term in January 2021, landing at Fox soon after. She's one of a host of former press secretaries who have landed jobs on cable and broadcast news.

11 Bit Studios clarifies its AI use in The Alters after player outcry
11 Bit Studios has drawn the ire of players for the undisclosed use of artificial intelligence in its recent release, The Alters . The new project from the team behind Frostpunk and This War of Mine is a narratively and thematically interesting take on a science fiction survival game. The project contains a lot of dialogue and written text, and some players discovered in-game copy that appeared to be generated by a large language model. The Steam storefront requires that games disclose when they contain material that is either pre-generated or live-generated by artificial intelligence, and The Alters had not been tagged as including AI content. The studio has issued a lengthy statement in response to the complaints. One instance involved AI-generated text in a graphic asset. 11 Bit Studios said this asset was only meant to be used as a placeholder during development. "This was never intended to be part of the final release," the company said. "Unfortunately, due to an internal oversight, this single placeholder text was mistakenly left in the game. We have since conducted a thorough review and confirmed that this was an isolated case, and the asset in question is being updated." The other AI use that players uncovered was in some cases of translations. According to 11 Bit Studios, AI was used for subtitle translations on the licensed movies that can be played in social area of the in-game base, which it said were made by an external source without creative input from its team: "Due to extreme time constraints, we chose not to involve our translation partners and had these videos localized using AI to have them ready on launch. It was always our intention to involve our trusted translation agencies after release as part of our localization hotfix, to ensure those texts would be handled with the same care and quality as the rest of the game. That process is now underway, and updated translations are being implemented." AI is an increasingly delicate subject for creative professionals. Many companies with large language models have either been accused of or admitted to training on copyrighted content, which has made AI an ethical nonstarter for many artists and many players. But when studios are regularly faced with negative working conditions surrounding crunch, it's also understandable why the gaming industry might be inclined to look for ways to speed up the process of shipping a title. The reactions to AI appearing The Alters is likely just the latest in the ongoing conversations about when and how this tech might be a part of game development.

‘Lazarus' Is a Briefly Gorgeous Anime That Vibes Hard But Can't Outpace Its Own Silence
When Adult Swim first announced that it was working with director Shinichirō Watanabe, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski on a new anime project, Lazarus already had the cards stacked against it. In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to. Set in 2052, Lazarus imagines a near future world lulled into euphoric peace by Hapna—a wonder drug that erases all physical and emotional pain. But three years after its global adoption, its elusive creator, Dr. Skinner, resurfaces with a grim truth: the miracle cure will become lethal within 30 days unless he is found. With the countdown to extinction ticking, a ragtag team of outlaws is assembled under the Lazarus task force to track him down and save humanity from self-inflicted doom. Despite its setup as a globe-trotting mystery fueled by red herrings and dramatic intrigue, Lazarus quickly settles into a rhythm that feels more like watching pins drop on a GPS than experiencing a suspenseful manhunt. After the premiere, plot twists arrive with uncanny timing but land without weight, and emotional payoffs barely register. Efforts to deepen the ensemble fall flat—most characters remain tethered to their archetypes, with only fleeting early-episode monologues offering glimpses of humanity before the urgency of the endgame takes over. By its final stretch, the anime veers from meditative to messy. A last-ditch assassin showdown featuring its free-running lead, Axel Gilberto (a clear nod to the Spike Spiegel archetype), tries to spark momentum, but its climax lands more frantic than fulfilling. Key revelations arrive not through its protagonists, but via side characters delivering exposition that sidelines the main cast, leaving them adrift in their own narrative. Lazarus isn't without its flashes of brilliance. When it slows down (which it often does), detaching from the mission's ticking clock, the series finds a comfy rhythm set to lo-fi beats and paired with lush animation that lets characters breathe. Whether drifting across the ocean or crashing influencer raves as the world quietly crumbles, these reflective interludes elevate the vibe. And when action kicks in, it's a visual feast tricked out in fluidity and weight and choreographed with precision, reminding viewers what Watanabe and Mappa can still do when the mood and momentum align. Watanabe's towering legacy casts a long shadow—and for Lazarus, that proved more of a burden than a blessing. It was never built to be another Cowboy Bebop, yet Adult Swim's nostalgia-heavy marketing framed it as such, fueling expectations the show never intended to meet. Instead of pushing boundaries, Lazarus finds itself caught in the machinery of modern anime production—forced to swap introspection for momentum and nuance for scope—ultimately hoisting itself by the weight of comparisons it didn't ask for. Watanabe told io9 that comparisons to Bebop were never his intent. His original pitch was closer in spirit to Space Dandy. But when Adult Swim requested a more serious tone, that evolution led to Lazarus. From there, the deck was stacked. Each week, it became harder to ignore how the weight of Bebop-sized expectations left little room for the show to stand on its own merits. Pacing issues aside, for fans who only see Watanabe through the lens of Bebop, Lazarus was never going to satisfy. One of the most significant strikes against it was simply structural: it's a modern anime confined to just 13 episodes, worlds away from the breathing room Cowboy Bebop had across its 26-episode run. In today's landscape, original anime rarely get the luxury of extended runtimes—unless they're backed by a hefty source material that justifies a two-cour rollout. That doesn't excuse Lazarus' clunky finale, but it does help explain how it ended up rushing to the finish line the way it did. The comparison was unfair from the start. There's still something undeniably admirable in Lazarus. Like André 3000 trading rap verses for flute solos, Watanabe isn't chasing the ghost of Cowboy Bebop here. Yes, the show carries echoes of his signature style—jazzy undertones, tight choreography, a cool cast—but this time, he's riffing in a different register. Lazarus doesn't aim for spacefaring spectacle; it leans into post-covid introspection, using stillness where others sprint. If nothing else, it plays like a love letter to a lost era of anime—much like Netflix's Pluto—when creators with decades in the game could still imprint singular, prescient, inimitable vibes. Filtered through MAPPA's modern polish, it's less a revival than a requiem. Maybe Lazarus plays more like the B-sides of Watanabe's discography—echoing the rhythms of Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Space Dandy without pushing into new territory. It doesn't stand shoulder to shoulder with those genre-defining hits but settles instead into the quieter company of Carole & Tuesday and Terror in Resonance—less a reinvention, more a reflective coda. While its legacy may align more with Watanabe's quieter works, Lazarus is far from disposable. It's a brief but intentional canvas—one where a storied creator pauses to reflect amid an industry sprinting toward spectacle. In an era obsessed with instant payoffs, it dares to linger in mood and meaning, wrapping wellness paranoia in slick choreography and a soundtrack that hits harder than the plot ever endeavors to. Lazarus is streaming on HBO Max. Want more io9 news?
