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

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

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

(+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

:(

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 :)

Failed us... nah, this is not a failure, you stuck with it for 2 years and I am sure that you learned a lot. Use that new knowledge as I am sure you are doing and make something more. That's just how coding is, you keep going until you break something and figure out how to fix it and avoid it. Keep at it!


P.S. While you may be done with this game I am just getting started. Haven't played much and only just found it on F95, following you here now. Excited to see what comes next.

(+1)

Thank you, those are very kind words <3

also, OMG YOU ESCAPED THE CEST PIT RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!!

(+6)

I hope you find a project that motivates you to enjoy working on it and isn't a forced slog that you dread working on :)
 

(+4)

Thank you 🙏

TT

(+6)

Hey, you're fine. Go have fun.

(+8)

I hope you find the one true project for you that leaves every other project in the dirt!

(+2)

HELL YEAH!

(+10)

Honestly better you admitted to it than some who just drop a project then fading away and not telling people. Sometimes things don't work out, but it's better that you tried than always kicking yourself because you never did.

Damn, I just downloaded the new update yesterday, really enjoyed it and was looking forward for more. Definitely one of the better fnaf ero games. Hope you work on a similar project again in the future. Wish you the best.  

(+1)

Thank you, and I'm not likely to make another NSFW FNaF game. (I'm not a big fan of how the NSFW parts work with the actual game)

(+4)

well, at least you tried

(+3)

Loved the game while it lasted. I get where you're coming from and I hope you can work on something you enjoy. the models where absolute fire and i hope they may get a shot at redemption in the future

(+1)

Thank you, and YEAH SOMEONE USE THESE MODELS FOR A GAME ALREADY!!!!!! They're really nice

(+6)

Even tho I love the game I totally understand and I wanna wish you the best and lot of great things to the future <3

(+2)

Thank you

Aww. I respect your decision, but I hope you come back to the project occasionally. I totally get the stress being overwhelming and unhealthy. I wish the best for you, and even if you don't come back to this, I'm impressed with how far it got. Good luck in whatever you have going on in your life.

(+3)

I won't be coming back to this project anymore, but thank you. I wish you the best as well.

Looking at everyone else's comments, I now feel really inconsiderate. I just want to apologize for that. I'm just kind of bummed out about it, since I was so hyped with the new update. Again, I'm really sorry if I made you feel bad. Guilt tripping you was not my intent.

(+1)

Don't worry I didn't take it that way :)
Also, I am sorry. I know it sucks to lose something you love, but I can't continue working on this anymore.
