Toby Fox (* October 11, 1991), also known as Radiation, is an American music composer and video game developer. He composed various pieces of music for the webcomic Homestuck and is known for developing the critically acclaimed video game Undertale in 2015.
Career
Fox started composing a variety of music for Andrew Hussie's 2009 webcomic Homestuck during his senior-year in high school. Fox initially didn't respond when Hussie started a "Music Contribution Team" in April 2009 and put up a news post asking musicians to participate. However, Hussie took note of his work when Fox started uploading piano covers of the webcomic's music on the MS Paint Adventures forums.[1]
Fox's most popular work is the 2015 role-playing video game Undertale, which sold over one million copies.[2] Fox worked on the entire game independently, besides some of the art; he decided to work independently to avoid relying on others.[3] Fox had little game development experience before Undertale, using RPG Maker 2000 with his three brothers to make role-playing games along with making some EarthBound ROM hacks in high school.[4]
