Couldn't deal with /vg/ any longer so I decided to discuss this game here. My main question is which will happen first: Temmie becoming part of the main plot or MK actually being given a personality through the church chapter.

Things that I'd like to see happen:
> Temmie joining the party as a joke 4th party member
> Spamton returning.. and doing something to make some fans regret sparing him
> Telling Sans things we shouldn't know about and making him deeply uncomfortable
> Susie becoming a giant, having kaiju battles and wrecking shit in the next dark world. Also Kris is riding along.

I think Queen would be a better candidate to make players regret sparing, she doesn't stop her plans for world domination out of a change of heart, but only because it would cause The Roaring. Her particular brand of "well-meaning but psychotic" is the perfect choice. Spamton is still rather insane so any moral change must be taken with a grain of salt, but she didn't make any change at all.
As for Sans, I think you would have to be careful about how that's done, because it would reveal too much about his and Papyrus' true origins too soon(whether he came from this world to UNDERTALE's or vice-versa)
Undertale Yellow released yesterday and it looks awesome (a first as far as fangames go).

I will tell you straight up...prepare for the robot chase scene because the difficulty does not spike, it fucking rockets.

I love Mo. Star's good too, but not as much as Mo. That is all.
I want Berdly to use Temmie like a shakeweight so bad I don't care if she's half a real person

Temmie is a real X-factor in this case. She is an UNDERTALE character, so in that sense Toby would rather not emphasize her over the original cast, but as the same time she is a "dev" character, sometime with far greater insight into the rules and mechanisms of the game world than any other character would reasonably have. She knew of and could remember resets well enough to give you discounts at the Tem Shop after all.
From a self-contained standpoint, her character so far mirrors that of Berdly's, wanting to be recognized and respected but not knowing how to get that in a healthy way, so instead of building an obnoxious mask around being "smart"(which we the player know she is in some sense at least, she managed to design Temmie Armor) she spends her days plotting revenge. The Dark World is the perfect opportunity for her to both take this revenge(especially against Susie; Catti-Temmie team-up anyone?) and to show that she really is more than just the village idiot, and for Catti to get rid of one more obligation on her already overloaded plate with family that are too dumb to recognize or care for her needs.
Catti is very obviously loaded up to be Susie's final character test; too strong for her to overpower in the Light World, likely too much of a magic dork for her to fight in the Dark World, and too mature for her to intimidate, forcing Susie to confront her with the new people skills she has learned over the course of the story or perish.

I would love to see Catti and Temmie using some Magi-Mechsuit just juggling Susie back and forth in a way akin to how Lancer gets bounced around. It would be excruciatingly painful for her, but the sprites would be hilarious.
Would you have liked Chapter 2 more if instead of Susie having a complete 180, she had a resentment towards Berdly for his obvious dickishness(that wouldn't be softened up like it was in canon) that eventually boiled over into a physical confrontation, but she had built up a real friendship with Noelle far earlier in the chapter and because of that let him go? I think there was a lot there in the "holds back her violent urges for the sake of her friends" theme that was demonstrated in Chapter 1, and it would have led better into that hypothetical Catti encounter I so strongly believe is inevitable.
>Susie kaiju
Would it be somewhat like the Mario and Luigi: Dream Team battles in execution(Kris having to collaborate with her attacks) or just a repeat of the Punch-Out formula from Chapter 2?
Easily one of my favorite parts of Papyrus is his tacit acceptance of whatever his brother has going on, without even attempting to understand it anymore.
>AH YES, MY BROTHER.
