Good news! The files have all been resized, meaning the game's memory has some space for now. I say for now, because the file size is still pretty high. I'm not the greatest coder in the world, nor am I good at optimization (This is the first serious game project I've ever worked on in my life). I'm gonna have to find a workaround so that progress keeps running smooth and I don't end up encountering more issues later on in development.

I've still got two whole characters I need to code, after all. Thankfully, I don't anticipate they will be much of an issue to add into the game. I'm just a bit concerned that I won't be able to do as much for this game as I initially intended. I want this game to be as big as a Clickteam FNAF game can get, and I don't want to make you all wait forever for its release. I will do my very best to figure out a solution, but until then I can't promise the game will release any time soon.

That being said, I'm not leaving you all completely empty-handed. I've been thinking a lot about the state of this game and how long I've been working on this, and it doesn't feel right to leave you all with nothing as I continue to chip away at this thing forever. So! I'm coming to you with an ultimatum:

Should I give you all a fairly stable alpha release of the game so far, with one night and all characters activated, so you all have something to sink your teeth into while I work? You'll all be able to provide useful feedback to help make the game better if so, like spotting bugs before the full release, giving constructive criticism for the gameplay loop, and suggesting polish changes for the overall structure of the game.

Or should I wait to give you a demo like every other developer? It'll likely give a better first impression for new players once the game releases, as well as providing you with more substance in exchange for a longer wait for the game overall.

This poll will go on for a few days, and I'll check periodically until it ends and release a new devlog once I have all my answers. Think carefully on this, as there are pros and cons for both options here.
