Cancelled.


     I know everyone is going to be disappointed, but I'm just not in it anymore. I've been working on this game for over 2 years at this point, and most of the time was spent trying to fix it. I've decided that I can no longer continue working on it as doing so is honestly bad for my health, and I have other projects I'm actually invested in now and care about. I'm going to go over some points that might be brought  up by this. And I'll try to keep the ranting to a minimum. 


Are you leaving?

No, just dropping CBs


What will happen now?

I'm making all the previous demos available and publishing the source code for anyone else to have. I think after all this community has done for me I should not keep the source all to myself while abandoning the project.


What about the Discord server?

Honestly, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking I either lock all the channels to read only in about a month or just reskinning it to a general community server. It's been around for so long and had so much go on in it, that it's hard to let go of it.


What went wrong?

This is a big one so I saved it for last. There's two things, I'm not an art, nor a story teller. These are both pretty crucial for making a game, and yet I lack both aspects.  Lots of people have told me already that I should spend some time focusing on those and get better so I can continue work on CBs, but that would mean leaving this project untouched for even longer, and I hardly enjoy it anymore. Others say that I should get an animator or outside help, this would be a great idea, but I'm both broke and bad at managing a team. If it were a situation like BonBon's, one where I'm just a programmer and not the artist or director, I'd keep working on it. But I don't have the passion for this game anymore, it's gotten stale and become what I hate. The game, when it was first conceived, was meant to be a collection of mini games, but over time I decided to add a story, which got changed far too many times. It just became a mess, a horrible mess that I've spent years polishing for it to still be the same mess. I am simply unable to make this into something really worth while without a complete restart.


I hope y'all can understand, and I am truly sorry that I failed you. 

Have a good weekend <3

Pretty disappointing, but understandable.

(+1)

Yes, it was predictable that this Ira would close, but you were confident enough, and there was hope for a full release of the game. Good luck in your future endeavors.

(+2)

This is honestly one of the first times i seen a dev of an adult game coming foward to admit the scope of the game is beyond their capabilites and releasing the source code to the community. Usually they either go radio silent (while still collecting money, mind you) or sneakily come back under a different alias. im glad you're one of the few exceptions

(+2)

Thank you, I'm gonna try to keep being the exception :)
(seriously though what's up with the NSFW FNaF fan game scene, it's horrible!!!)

ts was peak sadly its gone...

听起来真的很糟糕。我们都感到遗憾。这不是好消息。你已经很棒了。希望你能放松一下,尽情享受,缓解疲惫的身体。我祝你一切顺利,上帝保佑你。

游戏真的很好。我发誓,你是我认识的最好、最负责任的作家。我希望你在你喜欢的其他领域继续发展。您的才华和辛勤工作是值得的。

Good luck man, hope you enjoy whatever you do next.

Sucks to hear the game stopped being fun to make. I hope you have a better time with your next project!

(+2)

(+3)

I'm saddened to hear how the development of this game had been making you feel and hope you will make things you enjoy. I must say though, the actual mechanics of the game are very enjoyable. I have even gone back just to play the nights quite a bit in the past few days. You have a genuine talent for game making and I will be excited for whatever you plan to make in the future. Have a good one! -Jimbo

🥲
Thank you.

(+2)

We understand and we love you thank you for all your hard work 👍

(+4)

I'm glad that you let people know that you stopped working on this game instead of leaving it on an indefinite hiatus for months and no one knowing why you haven't updated the game for a while (twisted world remake) but I hope that you get your passion back to make a better attempt at another game that you will enjoy making as your health in all forms is important to keep up

Honestly, don't be sorry.

You've tried your best, and you decided that you need to just stop for your own sake.

You've probably learnt a lot of things from this, stuff which you can probably use for other projects, so it wasn't a complete waste.

You've done enough, so I wish you the best. : )

(+5)

This project has taught me a lot and it was very crucial to my own development so I'd say it wasn't exactly a waste. 

Thank you <3

(+3)(-4)

This is beyond disappointing. Followed you for all this time, finally an update only for the game to be thrown in the bin.
You have your reasons and it's understandable

(+4)(-1)

it's not in the bin, it's in the people's hands. YOU can take a shot at it if you truly want the game to continue :)

(+2)

thanks for just making the game mate, can't wait to see what next you make,

hope is get better mate

<3

if you have time and feel fine with it i want to interview you about the how you got the idea and what next you want to make. only if your comfortable with it.

sure, hit me up on discord 

:(

But if the game is so amazing, how could I not continue? I was even getting excited about the updates, it already looked more lore :(

(+3)

no problem king, your health is way more important than this game. Would rather have a healthy developer than a game.

yo llevo jugando ya este juego durante el año pasado, si hubo muchos cambios tanto en la jugabilidad y en la historia..

pero la verdad te agradezco por intentar ofrecermos un buen juego, te agradezco tambien las veces en donde buscaste una solucion cuando el juego no podia iniciar en algunos dispositivos (gracias a eso puedo jugar normalmente), darnos mas cosas, etc.

Tambien te agradezco por compartir el codigo fuente del juego (no soy buen programador pero me interesaria hacer en algun futuro un juego) para que de esa manera alguien pueda continuar en el proyecto y no ser borrado y considerado como lost media.

Espero que te vaya bien en tus futuros proyectos y me encantaria en un futuro poder probarlos..

Te deseo mucha suerte :3

Gracias  <3

Hey you know what, I could help. I am not good in animations, but I could try to program (if it's in python), but I'm also good in telling stories. You can check out my itch-account if you click on my name, and there you'll find some stories I've written in the last years, but I must warn you: most of my stories are only available in german, and many of them got abandoned, because I don't work anymore on them, or I lost interest on those stories.


But i like "Five Nights at Freddy's", one of the best game series I know. If Scot Cawthon had making this post, I know he would work anyway more on this, because he trolled us every time, and maked even the third "Freddy in Space" game after the movie came out. He can't troll me anymore.


Back to this: I could help you a little bit with a good storie, but I am not good at translating german to english. I use mostly Google Translate, to do this.

At some point, I give up with translating my favorite series by now. But like I said: I will never abandoned a series I made for to long, without writing, that it's gonna be get no new stories, or anything else. If you want know more of this, you can write me ;)

If you want to give it a shot, the source code is available to be downloaded for free. 

(+2)

I just downloaded it ;)

I will try it, because it's godot, and I have godot. I don't tried godot until now, because I had nothing do to with it, but this game is a try with this program worth! I don't let fall this game ;)

(+1)

Good luck :)
