Deltarune took Undertale’s dialogue system and made it cinematic: expressive portraits, wild text effects, and a bigger cast. Here’s how its text boxes work and how to make your own.
What Makes Deltarune Boxes Different
- Portraits: characters appear as expressive faces next to their text — happy, shocked, smug, tired. Undertale mostly skipped portraits.
- Text effects: shaky text for fear, wavy text for eeriness, colored text for emphasis. These sell dramatic moments.
- Party banter: dialogue is staged between Kris, Susie and Ralsei, cutting between portraits rapidly.
- Voice blips: like Undertale, each character has a distinct text sound.
The Main Cast at a Glance
- Kris — the silent protagonist; their “…” speaks volumes.
- Susie — brash, loud, secretly soft. All-caps energy in dialogue.
- Ralsei — gentle, polite, the group’s healer in every sense.
- Noelle — anxious, kind, fan-favorite from Chapter 2 onward.

Tips for Fan Creators
- Match portrait emotion to the line — a smug Susie face sells a joke.
- Use short exchanges, not monologues — Deltarune’s charm is rapid banter.
- Chapter 5 added new faces; check you’re using current sprites for new characters.
