DELTARUNE Unused Soundtrack

DELTARUNE Chapter 2 (Original Game Soundtrack)

Berdly (Rejected Concept)

"Earlier, we were considering having a stealth-focused section in the game where you would slowly, slowly sneak around certain areas.

After developing some concepts, we realized a mechanic which basically just makes you move slower isn't necessarily fun.

So, we didn't do that...

Anyway, feel free to listen to this song since it's now unused."

"After creating UNDERTALE, one of my goals for DELTARUNE was for players to finally be able to challenge a "real" version of Mettaton NEO that didn't just end in one turn. For that purpose, I actually created a few music mockups for an extended version of Power of NEO.

There's even another one from 2016 (lol)

… Unfortunately, try I might, I could never create a full-length version of the song that I was satisfied with. Eventually, the boss concept evolved to involve Spamton, and with that, the music changed as well.

I still like the last half of the song. The guitar section was inspired by Brandish's song "Ending 2". All of it is pretty placeholder though.

It's still fun to imagine fighting something to this... Though, if I was given another opportunity to extend POWER OF NEO, I would probably do something different."

(Unused Track) - DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - ♪ Power of NEO (Unfinished)

"Unfinished tracks. The drums are especially placeholder.

Once Spamton's presence in the NEO battle became solidified, I realized the original track wouldn't fit anymore. So, I tried to work in some more sinister and creepy feelings... That idea became this.

The two tracks are nearly identical, but the "newer" version has different drums and more elements of Spamton's theme in the intro. (It's also even more unfinished...)"

(Unused Track) - DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - ♪ Power of SPAMTON

"Apparently this was the first concept I came up with for Spamton's battle theme. To be honest, I have absolutely no memory of this. When I found it in my files I was quite surprised. (Maybe Spamton made it himself...)

By the way, originally I was planning to have Spamton's intro song, "HEY EVERY    !", also be his shop theme. It was planned that it would slowly drop in pitch the longer you stayed in the shop until it was unrecognizable. But, that ultimately did not match the tone of the dialogue, so I ended up using Dialtone for that."

"The song that plays when Giga Queen first appears is actually…

A slowed down version of the original battle song I had created for her!!!

Though the instruments are placeholder, I actually think this song isn't half bad. Just, it didn't really sound much like a boxing match. After I created the Thrash Machine power up sequence beforehand, I decided to instead make a song based on that."

(Unused Track) - DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - ♪ Giga Queen (Old)

"I actually showed this one before. But the truth is that I had made it for Chapter 2 and not Chapter 1. The song was way too serious though, so I had to make a goofier battle theme later."

(Unused Track) - DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - ♪ Rouxls Battle (Old)

"I think this is my favorite of the unfinished tracks... At least, it's the one I listened to the most when I was working on the game.

Back when Queen looked more intimidating, I wanted to use this as her boss theme. Personally I still really like it, and I even wanted to try to use it for Berdly's battle instead... but the issue was that it just didn't match either of the theme melodies I had already created for those characters.

Bizarrely, I seem to have made this after already making her theme song, as an early version of her theme song is inside of the project file.

1:30 onward (piano only) is totally unfinished."

"Printor was not used, but his sprite and dialogue were created, as well as a printer-based song that he could play? I just thought… there's too many NPC's already."

"I actually really like this arrangement. The only reason I didn’t use it was that I was worried about overusing the main theme too much. Instead I decided to make a song based off of the town theme and use it for the school.

…What do you think?"

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – School (alternate)

"Originally played when Susie joined.
But it was awkward being frozen for ten seconds."

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – Character Joined (Long)

"Originally played in the Great Board area.
However, the area isn’t very long, so I felt like if I played a song here, it would actually have the opposite effect of making the area feel disappointing if it had its own unique music but didn’t amount to much.

When I have a song, I feel like I need to do the song justice by having a certain amount of content that goes along with it…"

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – Checkerboard

"I only had the idea for the intro of the song, but it didn’t feel like it fit too well. So I only made forty seconds of it."

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – King Boss (Orchestal)

"I made like three different versions of the song.
This version was pretty good too, but the intro had the wrong atmosphere."

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – Legend (Alternate)

"I actually really like this song and wanted to use it to introduce a leitmotif, but I ended up using a more evocative song with a different motif. I’ll try to make an excuse to use the song in the game somewhere."

SCRAPPED DELTARUNE MUSIC – Fountain (unused)

"The arrangement is really early, but I created this thinking of an animated intro for the game, similar to Wild Arms. I still see it in my head when I listen to the song.

The best part would have been at the end when everyone is running up the staircase as the silhouettes of the bosses from all the chapters show up, and the Knight, standing in a white door at the top of the stairs, turns around and looks down at them…"
