Q: How long have you been creating 6FTU?

A: Since Late November/Early December of last year (2025). Give or take about 8 months. Q: How many people created 6FTU?

A: All characters and base sprites as well as the majority of the AU's spritework, artwork, and writing, have been done by me, and a few other people have pitched in a few miscellaneous sprites here or there. I've gotten help with writing from a couple of my friends sometimes, which I am eternally thankful for.

Q: What inspired the creation of 6FTU?

A: Originally it started after me and a former friend of mine were trying to conceptualize our own AU after having just sprited another friend's AU, Soulstice (And had difficulties along the way due to none of the characters belonging to us.) We desired our own creative freedom. Six Feet Under, the title, was funnily enough the first thing that was thought up about the AU, the rest came afterwards. The idea for the plot of the AU, however, came up after a joke of 'Dess gets sent to Super Hell with Friend and ERAM.' It was a joke at first and then we were like 'actually this might be fire'. And so, 'Dess gets sent to Super Hell' the AU was born.

Q: This seems like a lot of spritework for something that's not a fangame, why is that?

A: You are correct. Six Feet Under was originally supposed to be an AU for the roblox game Checho's Deltarune Roleplay- and much of the spritework was done with that in mind. The AU was denied from Checho's and, suddenly the rules got a lot stricter, so I knew that the AU would never really get in.

Q: Why is it called Six Feet Under?

A: I'd say something about 'It's because Dess is Dead' or something. But the reality is I just thought it sounded cool.

Q: Why make a story about Dess?

A: Cause frankly, there really aren't many and it's sort of sad. Additionally, there's a lot of potential for it. I really, REALLY dislike how the fanbase often treats Dess like 'not her own person'. Granted, I do know part of this is because we have so little info about her in canon, but still. I often see people only mention Dess in relation to her being the knight or Dessriel. Six Feet Under does follow Dessknight, but it doesn't happen until the very end- the entirety of the story is about Dess as a person and the bonds she makes. Additionally, Asriel is not present in 6FTU for this reason (and because it just wouldn't make sense for him to be there.). I don't want Dessriel in 6FTU, because it's not about Asriel, it's about Dess!

Q: What was 6FTU's Original Concept?

A: Nobody is probably asking this but I'm providing an answer either way. Originally it was going to be an ERAM centered swap AU. That was scrapped pretty quick. Overall, part of why I made 6FTU was because I wanted an AU where characters like ERAM and FRIEND could show some humanity.

Q: WILL 6FTU ever be a fangame?

A: Listen, if you can find people who can draw backgrounds, help with spriting, make a soundtrack, help with level design, and code, that's a staunch maybe. I can do a lot, but I can't do it all, y'know?

Q: Why did you create 6FTU?

A: Apart from the answer stated earlier about wanting to make a story about Dess, I wanted an AU with a darker setting that kept the thing that I think a lot of other darker AUs miss the mark on- keeping DELTARUNE's message of hope, friendship, and the ties that bind us in the face of despair, intact. Without that message, Deltarune doesn't feel like Deltarune to me. Even if fate is set in stone- you can face it with no fear knowing you have your friends by your side.

Q: Why is the 6FTU Gang comprised the way it is? A: This is something probably no one asked, but the idea is that I wanted a group of 'misfits'. I wanted a group of 'outcasts' to make this group feel distinct from the fun gang and still work in its own right. That is why Friend, ERAM, A Vessel, and Dess's Guitar are all in this group.
