"It's weird that he chose to drop the project to work on Undertale instead, isn't it? By another game, he could have meant something that he was already working on, but just didn't know how to approach. Maybe, working on Undertale inspired him to turn his other game into an Undertale spinoff to begin with. I'm just saying, not all possibilities are ruled out yet."

He SPECIFICALLY said he'd work on the script after the release of Undertale, and a 2012 script existed.

Yes, he did drop Deltarune for a while before he even finished the first room. (Feburary 2019 interview about Deltarune) But we know for a fact he already worked on the scripts, as the 2012 samples show us.

He then reused some of the songs from "Pre-Alpha Deltarune" (That's the name I'm giving it) and out them into Undertale:For instance, Bonetrousle was the main battle theme, and Heartache was "Joker Battle" (They turned out to be a much better fit where they ended up, I'd say.)

Then, when he made the kickstarter, he decided his next game would be a mix of Undertale and the original Deltarune concept. (Which was based on a dream he had in 2011 about the game's ending. He was determined to make the game that would lead to the ending in his dream.)

However.. The mystery kickstarter game was a stretch goal:Not only that, it wasn't even REVEALED as a stretch goal until after the previous ones were met!
