Dear Five Nights at Freddy's Community,
Its been a rough 6 years of me trying to make this game. Ever since Five Nights at Freddy's came out in 2014, I wanted to make my own kind of Five Nights at Freddy's game.
I started using Scratch in 2015 and eventually made One Night at Tom's in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI-XJid4bKY&t=98s.
A few weeks after it came out, the persona of BigBlockStudios was born. I got into the habit of trying to make the game better and better. Until in 2017 I started working with people who used Blender and Clickteam and tried to make it. It kept getting canceled and kept failing.
Then one day, someone by the name of Secnerix agreed to help me in 2018. That is the game you all know as Tom's Plague. Of course, you guys already know what happened to it.
I then began to work on Devious Minds on August 19th, 2018 and finally released it on December 24th, 2019. I was happy with myself, until I realized I only did it to pretend I didn't want to work on Tom's.
I tried again and again and I kept making the same mistakes. I kept overburning my team, not being a good director, and overall not a good friend.
Files at Corporate finally gave me hope. But then, something happened in July which caused the game's progress to go down and eventually this is where we're at now.
All the dev members, I'm very sorry for this. I'm honestly proud of each and every single one of you. Guys are amazing and I know you guys cared about the project until I decided to become a dick and stopped caring for others. You all know who you are and I hope everything goes well for you.
Ramen & Co: I know I disappointed all of you and I know you'll never forgive me for trying to make this game or even annouce this. But honestly, I cannot pretend that I want to do something only to make it as a middle finger to the community and to you guys. So, I decided to stop doing this.
Secnerix/Darroc: I'm sorry that I mistreated you and took advantage of your skills and modeling. I should've let you collaborate more and listen to your advice.
MayC, Spook, and YellowFox: You guys have been there for the very start. I'm sorry for overburning you, complaining about everything, and not listening to your words.
Aidan O' Flynn and ItsGabez: You guys are awesome. I will never forget you guys and don't ever give up game development.
RobinTharsGames: You are my main inspiration for beginning to model and stuff. Thank you for being there even when I was an asshole.
I am cancelling this project due to my motivation for it, which was malicious and would've been to show off to other people. So, I realized that I cannot continue with this.
I also realized I have more important things to work on, like my film, hanging out with my family, and spending time with my friends, cousins, and family.
Goodbye everyone, I will see you soon.
Edit: Once I feel like I can deem myself to work on this again, I will, but it won't be a few weeks. It will be like "waiting for FNAC 4" type shit LOL.
