We'll receive the first draft of the Japanese translation of Chapter 5 next week!
Meanwhile, we've been polishing the game and doing some preliminary internal bugtesting on PC. Heavy bugtesting across every console will happen when the Japanese translation is done.
The professional testers are familiarizing themselves with the game now. They begin formally testing on April 1st.
Japanese translation quality assurance is projected to be completed in April.
Outside of addressing bugs and translation, most of the development team has moved on from Chapter 5.

The actual testing period will last for an indefinite amount of time. After that, the game needs to get approved on consoles and we need to do various other things to prepare for release.
That'll be all from me on this subject for a while...
if the professional testers say "we all quit and we think your game SUCKS" on the day they begin testing, then they're pulling an april fools prank on you. just a heads up bro
This is more important than studying for my finals :D
So if I see a leak on April 1st I should immediately trust it.
Got it.
Legit Deltarune Leaks would never spread misinformation

I think this is the first official half-mention of chapter 6, no?
What do you have to say about the on-going Dess Groomer Theory? How will this effect the plot moving forward? Please address this toby fox as this could be very serious for the reputation of the video game: DELTARUNE.
Who knows what trouble it could cause! This is a very serious matter that Tobias “Touhou Project” Fox must urgently address as it has caused quite the commotion…
I don't think there's anything on the planet I wouldn't do to be a deltarune bug tester
dw I'd just play through it normally and then quit before I had to do the lame stuff :)
(toby please don't read this and blacklist me thanks)
I'm gonna predict it will release within the start of June to the end of August.
I sense an opportunity to mess with the testers considering theyre getting the game on april 1st...
In all seriousness LETS GOOOO ty toby :)

"Outside of addressing bugs and translation, most of the development team has moved on from Chapter 5." This is a TERRIFYING sentence
Familiarizing themselves? They aren't the same team that tested chapter 1-4?

TAKING TOO LONG.
as opposed to the amateur testers you had in before?
I assume by moved on from Chapter 5, they're working on 6 and 7 now?
Or are you still writing that Mister Fox?
Oh damn!? We might be getting the game sooner than we all thought?
