Temmie was named after her late grandmother. She hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, so it’s believed that she’s an only child.
She became interested in drawing and painting at a very early age, and seeing that she was talented, her parents enrolled her at a school of the performing arts. Temmie eventually became interested in video games, and that she could one day illustrate her own characters, and perhaps entire games. After matriculating from a local high school in 2001, Temmie enrolled at Pratt Institute, from which she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 2D animation in 2005.
Career as an animator and illustrator
Temmie has worked on several other games besides “Undertale”, as well as on a couple of short movies.

In 2016, she was the lead animator for the short action film “OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes: Rad”, and the same year worked as an animator on her first TV series, the family comedy “Eddsworld”, as well as on the action adventure series “Homestuck”. She was also the lead animator for the short comedy movie “Obituary: A Grave Beginning”, and later that year Temmie worked as a character animator, on the action adventure video game “Shantae: Half-Genie Hero”; it received mostly positive reviews.
Most recently in 2018, 2019 and 2020, Temmie worked on the video games “Deltarune”, “Shantae and the Seven Sirens” and “Super Meat Boy Forever”, respectively.
Undertale
Undertale was created by Toby Fox, an American Indie game developer. A child fell into the Underground, while it’s now up to the player to control him, and help him reach the surface. During the player’s journey through the Underground, he meets various monsters, some of which he has to fight, while the others won’t mind him. During the fights, the player will always be given an option whether he wants to kill or pacify the monsters, and his choices will affect the later game. It was officially released in September 2015.
At the very beginning of the game, the monster Flowey tries to kill the child, while the goat-like monster Toriel saves him, and teaches him to solve in-game puzzles. She expresses her desire to protect the child from the lord of the Underground, Asgore Dreemurr. To return to the surface, the child must now find Asgore’s castle, as the portal which connects the two worlds is there. On the child’s way, he finds numerous monsters, including Undyne, Alphys and the skeletons Papyrus and Sans. Through the game, we learn that Toriel and Asgore once had a son named Asriel, and that he became friends with the first child who fell into the Underground.
However, after the child ate poisonous flowers and died, Asriel returned his body to the humans, and thinking that Asriel killed him, the humans killed Asriel. His father Asgore then declared war, and is trying to collect seven human souls, which he has six of, to destroy the portal between the two worlds.
The game has three possible endings, depending on how many monsters the player has killed during the playthrough.
The game was funded through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, and it took 32 months for it to be developed. Toby Fox intended to gather $5,000, but ended up gathering $51,000 from around 2,400 people. It instantly became a cult video game, and was ranked third-best game of 2015 for Windows, by Metacritic.
