Note for that:
You'll have to kill every single enemy in each area, until the random encounters say "nobody came", or the savepoints don't have any little quips but "Determination.". This is particularly important for the Ruins, as every area after that will tell you how many enemies you have to kill if you check the savepoints. Also be aware that you have to go through it one by one, as backtracking iirc is not possible.

Well that isn't the only befriending you'll have to do that'll only show up if you hadn't before you beat the game, so the next one starts the actual post-game True Pacifist content.
Also since you're aware of boss locations now it'd be wise to complete your kill count before you reach those points since it locks you out of encounters afterwards and will destroy a genocide run.

To contribute something that isn't fan art, there's some interesting rumors going around regarding a very small detail that I'm sure no one paid attention to.
SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING
SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING
Apparently there's something going on regarding sans' winking. As in he winks different eyes on different routes; winking his right eye on pacifist routes and his left eye (the evil one) on genocide routes. Beyond that people think that every time he winks it is actually a subtle foreshadowing of what is going to happen as on Reddit they posted that the first time you get to Alphys' lab and call Papyrus, he mistakes it for Labrador-y and asks if there are dogs to which sans says he "wouldn't rule it out" Go in the lab and there's a big thing of dog food but no dog. Go in the true lab and well...you know.
Saw this stuff in /utg/, pretty cool
If you killed anyone you're fucked out of the pacifist run unless you reset, so just do what you want this run.
Haha, while that is great, I'm not sure it'll grab them.
A lot of the folks that you can kill have roles and lines past the point where you fight them; for instance if you kill
Papyrus and/or Undyne
Also, some mild ending spoilers for the neutral path:
Though it's common to say that the game has three major routes / endings (genocide, neutral, pacifist) there's a whole bunch of different epilogue possibilities on the neutral route depending on who you murderize. Some of them are funny, some of the are kind of heartbreaking.
Oh man, that's a huge honor coming from you Paul, thanks <3
I love your Undertale piece as well! This might be a cheeky thing to say but following you on Twitter and seeing you come around on the game so much that you made your own piece was actually what inspired me to draw fan art too.
This is what made me check the game out
The last parts of that GIF honestly scared the shit out of me when I first started up the game.

Continued everything spoilers:
It's very very heavily implied that Sans has a scientific background, and not only that, it's also implied that there's a connection between Sans and the royal scientist that was replaced by Alphyne (Gaster, who disappeared after falling into the Core). This includes but is not limited to one of Sans' attacks in his boss fight, which is named "Gasterblaster" in the files - it's, I believe, the skulls. Furthermore, Sans is one of the very few monsters that is aware of the Save system and its effects on the timelines.

Thanks!
this is pretty much my sentiment
despite giving up due to being stuck in the players groundhog day loop, giving up on his responsibilities
he still tries to cheer his brother & toriel up, even though he knows its all going to be reset

so for a genocide run is there any way of telling if you have killed all the enemy's in the area?

Save points past the ruins will tell you how many living creatures are left and when you're done it'll just say DETERMINATION also encounters will just say "But nobody came..." when you hit the limit.
In the ruins the save points will be normal till you've killed everyone sans the boss.

I'm listening to the OST as I do some marking and just thinking about how incredible it is. I can't even chose a favourite song. It's definitely going to become one of my go-to focus playlists.

Finished my true Pacifist run the other day. Really enjoyed this game. The characters, the music, the feels-- maybe my GotY. Definitely not gonna do a Genocide run or anything, but I might reload my file to get
Gonna shell out for the OST too now!
yellow titles for all enemies in the ending credits since I missed a couple. edit: Nevermind, can't do that because random battles are gone. ;(

What about humble? I don't particular want to sign up for bandcamp because I doubt I'd ever use it again.

Dunno about humble, but you don't have to sign up on bandcamp to get the soundtrack, I bought it without an account.

Is the music from the
battle not on the OST? That's a real bummer, it's my favorite piece of music from the game.

The Bandcamp listing cuts off early because the late-game track names are spoilers. The OST has all the songs, don't worry.

So are people expecting that we'll get a major update to the game in the near future?
This got me good.
InfiniteNine

Well I expect we get an update
to make the Toby fight actually startable.
Leading theory is that WD Gaster is a 3rd skelleton, either a brother or their father, figuring that WD stands for Wing Dings and that's why Sans has awareness of it.
Hopefully completed Hard Mode.
Red Arremer

Actually, if you take WD Gaster and break it into Wing DinG Aster, it's 2 font names - WingDinG and Aster. Also fun fact: Whenever Sans is being serious, he swaps his font from Comic Sans to Sans Serif.
The only things I think might ever be patched in are
an extension of Hard mode and maybe a fight against the Annoying Dog

I'm just wondering if all spoilers ever
we'll see more content expanding on Dr. Gaster and Sans. Maybe even a surprise entirely new game!!? I mean would anyone put it past Toby Fox to have made a 20-hour-long game and release only half of it until people find something out or something???
Nah bro, give me a date with Bratty and Catty or don't give me more dates at all!
Only if Burgerpants is your wingman

I just "finished" this.
I say "finished" because I got to the final boss and kept dying and decided just to watch the ending online (because I was aware of that I was on a pacifist run, though luckily I doubled back and completed some extra stuff that would apparently grant me the true ending). Even if I didn't actually achieve the ending myself, this game was a great experience. I've put off doing my homework for university just to play this.
My only gripe (and this is my own fault) is that I didn't go into this blind and knew about killing the enemies or mercying them. I wish I had waited to play this when I had more time, and gone through a neutral ending or something first.
Maybe in the summer I'll give this another run through and see the other two endings. I feel like I'll eventually have to share this game with someone too. If that happens, maybe I'll just watch them play.
This was something special.

i came here to post this
i've basically been listening to nothing but hopes and dreams & bergentruckung + asgore for two days now
OST has been on repeat while I've been studying. It's just fantastic.

Even if you go full mercy route, on your first playthrough, the game will still give you the neutral ending, so.
(I think that's OK to be not spoilered?)
Good to know. I did a little bit of reading about the story and quickly realized there was still a lot I missed. I'm definitely going to have to revisit this game when I have more time to spare. I still got a lot out of the game from my one playthrough though.
