Dialtone - Deltarune: Chapter 2 (Monte G. Cover)

[@MrMonteG_]

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you guys for all the likes and views! I didn't expect this to get so much traction! Not sure if I'll make more Deltarune content soon, but I wouldn't doubt it! :D

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

This was a really unique touch on the Spamton shop scene! It somehow feels.. more dark than the original due to the dulled out colors (and the smile on the sun, but that's pretty obvious). Thanks for this cover too!

[@latetwenies]

if it is spamton, and it is well done, it shall get traction.

[@Moriss-ln1qz]

you earned them for your effort and great dedication

[@tigrerojo9685]

I gotta say, this video has something really special; it really captures the unnerving, hopeless nature of Spamton without falling into a overly-creepy style that wouldn't quite fit with Deltarune The song and the visuals are just in the very edge of what Spamton encompasses, without going too far.

[@chaos_box8820]

The “smile” of this iteration of spamton doesn’t express any form of joy or even mania. It’s forced and really follows the motif of puppets.

[@merrittanimation7721]

This has such a tragic feeling. Like finding an old VHS tape of someone's last gasp at success when you know very well that person crashed and burned 20 years ago and that's what anyone remembers them for.

[@obiomajronyekwere4469]

[@A.R.C.1997]

it's like watching a character being so happy and you knowing they die gruesomely in the story later

[@digitalized3206]

It's as if you had found an old tape from somebody you knew closely, Happy as ever could be. Only to remember them now as someone who had fallen into a dark mindstate, Slowly but surely dwindling into the grasp of their lowest state.

LOVE the illustration of Spamton. What most fan depictions of the character are missing nowadays is an actual resemblance to a puppet, something you nailed. Also love how the glasses obscure his eyes, so its left ambiguous as to whether he's staring at you or just completely vacant in the head. Music is great as well. Solid work.

[@youknowwho5251]

It sounds sad, but also has a horror vibe to it, like Spamton is at his wits end and will snap at any moment.

[@err0r529]

This version of dialtone is extremely off-putting and creepy, but in a way for me, it's kinda calming, like he is trying his best to help you, but it always comes off as sinister, this is easily my favorite deltarune remix, amazing job

[@g-ray7121]

A really good cover, it reminds you that his story isn't just video game lore, but also a reality that's happened many times.

This song is beautiful in the saddest way. The piano echoes into oblivion, like the song Dead God Graveyard by Oliver Buckland, with the ringing of the phone stretching on juuuust a bit longer than usual, giving an ever increasing feeling of purgatory.

[@Dwurban64]

SUPREMELY underrated. The best piano cover of the song I've found by far. Captures the atmosphere perfectly. Well done!

[@MrMonteG_]

Thank you! :D

[@ownphantomandtoy]

Spamton after the incident was never the same again, he started acting strange, his sales dropped and he was always waiting by his telephone. One day he just disappeared into obscurity with only old and damaged tapes of his advertisements and recordings of him in Queen's mansion still remaining. Only few people would still remember the man but you'd have to be in the know to even hear anything of Spamton G. Spamton.

This just gives me so many undescribable old cartoon vibes, i watched a bunch of old Polish cartoons when i was really young, cartoons that were made really long ago like 1963 but still aired recently a couple years ago for some reason and now i can't find them on tv, that's only talking about the visuals, the remix is just so nostalgic, esspecially with the phone ringing. Great job! This is honestly on of the best videos iv'e seen this year.

[@sarcastic2731]

The art style is definitely something. Music sound distant,colours are bleak. And the expression on Spamton's face... This is very good piece of art.

[@Gabriel-doodle]

This is an art style I always love. I don’t know how to describe it. The best way I can describe it is that it’s an abandoned Sistine Chapel; despite the decay, there is always a bit of forgotten beauty or joy.

[@exist4046]

There's an odd, yet almost comforting feeling this gives me.... It's just...I dunno. I don't hear it as creepy, sure tragic in a way, but....like I'm surrounded by soft rain clouds or some shit, with an old blanket from my childhood wrapped around me. There's just something so nice about it.... And the graphic as well, I dunno why but it's almost PERFECT in terms of recreating those early VHS kids' movies feels.... He should look so freaky, but oddly enough he has that weird "so ugly it's cute" look to him. It's just overall pathetic, almost. Lost... Yet not nearly as empty as the original. I genuinely adore this.

[@Returning.In.1997]

I believe the feeling this is triggering for you is that of the feeling of a liminal space.

[@tfnewgenaration2152]

[@michaelbrickieblock]

this horrifying spamton drawing looks like it's simultaneously rip itself apart and attempting to stay together, and his hands are just BARELY peaking over his own dialog box, which, if it did canonically exist, i don't think would be touchable, which makes it look like spamton is about to jump out at you, and that reality itself is trying to rip itself apart, which i think is actually happening, at least in spamton's shop, due to the fact that part of the wall is glitching into nothingness.

[@raxmanrx]

This captures the mood of the original theme so well and it's really unnerving. Great work!

[@Th_darkmatter]

Spamton is a really good character has such a tragic and mysterious feel to him he elaborated on everything jevil was from the first chapter 2 let’s hope Toby makes the next super boss even better

[@ThatOneGuysAnimations]

i love the background art :D

[@ninaone9390]

It's like someone recreated Chapter 2, but at a well-used school playground, or a zoo; it's somewhere where you would find a painted mural in an outdoors exhibit made only from wood and dingy 60's electronics, that display the characters and famous scenarios from the game, but the guy painting it didn't play Deltarune all too much, so the designs of the characters and locations are slightly off, and the characters are only shown speaking well-known quotes from the game, usually with no connection to the scenario they are painted in. Yes, the murals are good, it's familiar, you can easily discern what the painted murals are displaying, but it's so disconnected and bare-bones that it just barely scratches the surface of what these characters and scenarios actually are, so you're stuck staring at these murals as you're hiding from the rain admiring how well they were painted, but wondering how much they could have been because they're only meant to be quickly glanced at without a second thought by kids who go "Hey look, it's Spamton! :)" before going back to playing on the rock climbing wall. But hey, you didn't think of any of that when you made this, right? Analog horror and nostalgia bait would be so much better if they captured more diverse and specific scenarios such as these.

[@Champoy000]

Actually, that was a pretty good scenario you wrote here.

[@Skelekart]

Quite a nice spin on the Dialtone theme. On the original, it sounds quirky, maybe a bit depressing. This gives off the feeling of someone from the 90's hence the static effect, and the realistic but muffled sounds you hear from those old films as well. This in a way amplifies the feeling that the original Diatone gave off, and it is an interesting effect. I like it!

[@MisterJoson]

Best cover i ever saw its gives a eerie feeling of sadness, loneliness and even a bit of despair its tries to hide the pain under a happy figure, but its unable too because he is not the same old man who carried a smile and was successful, he is now nothing more but a broken puppet, with no one to call friend, pal or even family Everyone he knew abandoned him, and now, he just still holding himself because if he was not, it would damage those that come closer of him and himself

[@VoiceActorYourNameHere]

I don't know what is is, maybe the unsettlingly delapidated smile on the sun or Spamton's broken, helpless, forced grin, maybe his ever so slight jitter in the animation that makes me so scared and sad. That jitter makes it look as if he's shaking while holding back his tears or at the very Brink of losing it all. Not only his wealth and control, but his sanity, as well. The sun's painted smile seems like something you'd find on the wall of a kid's bedroom, except the house has been rotting away for a decade. It's like Spamton drew it on in a sad, pathetic attempt to pretend as if everything's okay. The black void behind the crumbling wall of a sunny sky is just so unsettling. What's back there? How far does it strech out? Where is the light shining on the telephone coming from? And finally, the top rated salesman 1997 himself. You can't tell what's going on behind his colorful glasses. His smile is so eerie and uncanny. His lower jaw seems dislocated, tilting back. He's standing at the text box desk all innocent, like a kid, exited to help you out, but he's a broken man. And there's nothing that can save him now.
