OverView

Documentary about famous indie developer Toby Fox's first contest-winning game project. The ROM Hack, although not perfect by any means, is an interesting insight on how it correlates to his later, deeply influential and succesful game titles like Undertale and Deltarune. Even awkward, amateur works are worthwhile to examine deeply, and in fact can be even more interesting because of their flaws.
