What the hell is this????
Well, no need for swearing silly!
DELTARUNE: INSTABILITY is a DELTARUNE Fangame! If that wasn't obvious.
Instability features our protagonist, Quill Hayes, on an adventure to save the world, with two unspecified heroes on their side.
Unfortunately for you, you can't skirt past the player/character relationships in this game!
Quill is a little gremlin when it comes to making choices! Aw, isn't that cute, they want bodily autonomy!
Well, unfortunately for them because YOU exist!
But, it's fine. After all, what good is a vessel without a heart? It's not like they can get rid of you!
So, they keep you in their body with little to no resistance. Except for when they need to intervene, of course. We're moral here at INSTDEV!
Also, this game will feature mature themes! Stay safe out there, friends.
What about the team?
Why, I'm so glad you asked dear viewer! Here, have a glance at who makes up the team here at INSTDEV!
(Psst... by the way, when you make Instability fanart, place it under the #deltaruneinstability tag! That's on Twitter, Bluesky, and wherever else we make an account! Okay, now go look at our team.)
TONSPAM66
The one and only! Our project manager here at INSTDEV, they're the not-so-very-much glue that holds the team together! (and the guy who employes us without pay)
Contrary to popular belief, I AM NOT SPAMTON!!! I am Tonspam66, former Number #2 Spamton Fan/Enthusiast. I'm an artist, I make pixelart, sometimes music and 3D models or whatever. You can find me on social media as "@tonspam66". Follow me. Follow Me. Do it.
FRANK N. BEANES
Frank, the second project manager and one of the lead writers on the project! Also [ REDACTED FOR POSTERITY'S SAKE]'s #1 fan.
I discovered this project through the initial twitter ARG, running the dedicated investigation discord server for it. It's the first time I've been so deeply involved in something like this, so I hold INSTABILITY very close to my heart.
As for what I'm doing now, I oversee the writing. Story, key characters, locations, a lot of that's me. As of now, I'm the main guy on the script. Writing is definitely my strongest suit, but I voice act and draw on the side, so please find me on Newgrounds. Please also ask me to write or voice act for you. Please I'm desperate.
RAT (me!)
It's me! The guy that does most of the website stuff and also writes for the project! What, you think I'd do the other guys before me? You know my ego doesn't let me do that! *queue laugh track*
What to even say about myself, huh? Well, my (online) name is Rat, I have copius amounts of ADHD in my brain, and I enjoy writing! It's how I got into the project in the first place! I love DELTARUNE, I love fangames, I love writing; honestly, seems like a match made in heaven. One of my main defining characteristics, I believe, is my ability to portray what I want to with words. I personally don't believe my writing is all that great, but (just to stroke my own ego), from the praise I've gotten, it seems like I really have a way with words and creating worlds for my characters! I suck ass at dialogue though. It's a real pain to imitate normal humans y'know.
HALAPH
Halaph! This guy is a big brainstorming dude. Helps around with writing, throws around ideas, and is a well-rounded guy!
Hey, I'm Halaph! I write (supposedly "beautiful") poetry for the most part, but I've been told that I'm great with typical stories and dialogue, enough so that I ended up here! I've always wanted to be part of something greater than myself, and alongside my love for UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE, I got dealt the hand that led me to be part of this wonderful team as a jack-of-all-trades: a little writing, a little brainstorming, and even a little drawing. (Which is funny. I suck at that.) That aside, I'm excited to see where this project takes us!
VY(yes, that's the whole name.)
Vy! A brainstormer and a beta tester for when the game actual comes out with something useful! Several of our ideas come from them!
Real testimony and intro from Vy themself:
i read instability stuff and wait for beta to come out and test bugs, i love deltaruen
Real inspiring stuff, huh?
RALF DAYWOLPH
Ralf! A fellow writer, brainstormer, and sometimes concept artist! (keep on a lookout for a bunch of concept art when the game gets finished by the way!)
I'm Ralf!!! I write, brainstorm, and occasionally do concept art. I like old cartoons, musicals, and other weird things like that, which are a major influence on my general 'style.' Trying to make my own thing, WILDWOOD WONDERS, the writing for which is what got me on the team in the first place, so if you like what you read check that out! (It's not dead guys TRUST THE PROCESS)
FUN FACT: The creature in my pfp is called GERALD IV, and is from an ARG I VA'd for.
GIA
Gia! An amazing concept artist, she's a big part in all the ideas we have! Brainstorming, art, testing, what can't she do? Code, apparently.
i'm the gigiDG of instability. just kidding. i make most of the concept art for the game while doubling as kris deltarune's defense lawyer
RALTZY
Raltzy! The gal with a plan! Made a whole buncha facesprites that were essential in figuring out how this guy's face worked! Super cool pixel artist, glad to have 'em on the team.
