[deltarune AU - DELTARUNE: Swapped] He Who Rules

[@1BeautifulDuck]

Oh my god, this is a total earworm. I really like the decision to make Rouxls more badass here. I asume fhat he'd get more goofy after his defeat in the same way that Chaos King does?

[@MoonStriker]

Correct!

[@somecirclewithsunglasses3994]

* He controls the rules. * Roulxs seems to be taunting you. * Roulxs flips his hat in the air and catches it. * Roulxs scoffs at your pathetic attacks. * He insists that any hat is fancier than a crown. * He starts rearranging his cards. * He brushes off his tuxedo. * The king no one needed nor wanted. * Your body won't stop trembling. * Roulxs pulls out one of his gloves and replaces it. * You can taste the dust in the air. * En garde.

0:18 I could totally hear a "Gehahahahaha !" here.

Sounds amazing, but I want to talk about the desing decisions. I just really like them. First of all, Rouxls color palette is the same (or very similar) but white and blue swap places. It's a really cool look for Corrupted Rouxls Kaard. He also looks more elegant and powerful. Second, arena design. Puzzles, some of them look like they are disappearing. It's really clever for the Duke of Puzzles. I also have a feeling that after Fun Gang (or whatever they are called here) defeat him, instead of pretending to be weakened like King did, Rouxls will simply cheat and say something like "Thee foolish worms! Thee think thou canst defeat MINE own rules? Look what betides to those who want to live in a world without Rouxls! I, Rouxls Kaard, decree that from now on puzzleth shall not be solved!" and with his power the floor would just fell into pieces. Third, I like that Susie, Ralsei and Kris are on the right side of the screen instead of the left like in Deltarune. I also think that battle menu is really interesting... I wonder if the Undertale Swapped buttons look like the ones from Deltarune. And if in the case of Ralsei (and maybe Kris, I don't know if they can use magic in this AU) instead of Act appears an unused Spell button. And I know this character layout and battle menu has appeared before in Blizzard on the Dance Floor, but I wanted to bring it to your attention here because why not

[@zodiinitebestupid]

everything about that picture is so genius

[@jacketofdiamonds]

this track freaking rouxls

[@laukachu]

the desings and song is amazing! 1:41 i really like the dark truth leitmotif, im glad you used it! great job!

[@Furbish_Flower]

that hud is so nice 👀

[@Furbish_Flower]

I mean- the song is so nice hehe

[@AgileAnimations]

Having "the Fun gang" be on the right instead of the left is AMAZING and I love how the UI is Undertale's UI

[@CompactStar]

I like how Rouxls Kaard is taken more seriously in this but you didn't just copy King like Classic Deltaswap either. And it's a nice touch that you can tell he's actually speaking Shakespearean English not just poorly imitating it by randomly placing "-eths".

[@jestcreatorofcharacters]

*lets see what kind of trouble we can get ourselfs into..

[@FancyMcSchmancy]

* Rouxls keeps insisting that “It’s pronounced Rox-els”.

[@underbe1319]

Am I the only the one that thinks that Rouxls here looks like the Funky Phantom?

[@KingStudios360new]

*Ye fools! *dost thou not see? *In this realm, 'tis I who maketh laws for thee! omg, this sounds amazing! I always missed your music

[@melcelsius547]

This is a really cool take on Rouxls in the King role

[@TP-MA]

Peak is back

[@emiliavalentino7226]

Lovely!

[@jma0645]

Roulx became Michael Jackson?

[@МаксимКостарев-л8ю]

For some reason I thought that they’re fighting Micheal Jackson

[@xlịsunshatterer]

Missed opportunity to name the song "He Who Rouxls"

[@MoonStriker]

@@xlịsunshatterer Was gonna name that initially but I went with a more serious tone.

[@andrewyang3917]

😮

[@chromxrobinandcorrinxcamil9031]

😳👌

[@brastionskywarrior6951]

you can tell its swapped because the boss is on the left side of the screen

[@mauro27279]

Does this AU do shifts too, since King swaps with Lancer, but Roulxs is King?

[@MoonStriker]

odd-numbered team members (e.g. Fun Gang, Castle Trio) get a three-way swap/shift, yes.

[@mauro27279]

@MoonStriker What does three way swap mean? I don't really know much about storyshift tbh

[@MoonStriker]

@@mauro27279 Storyshift isn't a three-way swap; it's outright shifting. Three-way swap in here is like swapping within a group of 3 people (which technically still counts as shift).

[@rihcdar]

​@@mauro27279three way swap means swapping in a circle. For example, here it's kris > ralsei > susie > kris, judging by their places on the battle formation.

[@CompactStar]

@@MoonStriker I'm interested if there was ever an undertale AU which was all three-way swaps instead of two-way now, I've thought about that before
