Much of it is about making the right thing at the right time and in the right place, and can't really be predicted. The same thing goes for Minecraft.

I've been afraid of talking to Toby online like I used to ever since his game got popular.
I mean, how the fuck do you interact with someone who's suddenly loaded?
His musical skill.
Whether you think he has any is irrelevant, his ability to create music of the quality that he does is what put him where he is now. Tons of people were aware of him well before he began working on Undertale because he was the most popular musician working on Homestuck, which was an internet megahit itself.
Just about every single one of the most stand-out moments in Undertale is made by the music, as well. Hell, one of the most popular tracks in one of the most memed about scenes in Undertale is a remix of a Homestuck track.

It wasn't good or fun. Stop being delusional and/or tumblr.

You be his real friend. I bet he's getting a lot of gold diggers these days.
Its pandering to that pseudo sincere hipster no balls feelings.
>>321744249

This is one of those things that as a member of the real world I will never understand. Whenever I look at Undertale, it looks like a shitty JRPG clone with awful graphics and a bit of randomness for the tumblr crowd, yet people are claiming it's the ultimate masterpiece and second coming of Jesus Christ.
This is why I don't play video games anymore.

He fucking beat me to it.
>>321744727

He made an alright game that hit certain autistic notes so it blew up.
I don't even think it's that bad of a game, but if I were him I'd probably want most of my fanbase to die unless I was too busy being a Jew for more money.
He made a game lots of people seem to agree is 'good'.
This is /v/ however, might as well call it a tumblr-pandering meme game for the cred points.
