Hello everybody! I'm here to give what I consider to be an incredibly exciting update... at least, for me it really is!

But before that, I want to write a sort of build-up to it. So, we'll start with a bit of bad (but honestly everyone-saw-it-coming for the wrong reasons) news, the big reveal and then a sort of quick look back at why I exist as an account (and see things from my point of view too hopefully! ).

Or you could skip to the big reveal. I wouldn't really blame you if you did.

But I feel like this sort of news deserves a build-up. So, if you will, please bear with me as we start with something a little bittersweet first. It'll be all worth it, the story's got a happy ending. At least for me it definitely was.

Morpheus' Awakening is cancelled

If the complete absence of a game page is making you suspicious, then that's the reason why. For the few people who followed the game and thought it would go somewhere more exciting, I'm sorry to have to say the game won't be happening.

While you might have in mind some reasons, please do understand that it was neither the idea, the scope of the game or the motivation to do it to be factors into the final call I made. To summarize, here are the main reasons:

• I fell in love with the characters I was making. I could not really stand for them being sidelined to a fan game any longer. While the fan game project was very feasible in the end, it's not something that I felt satisfying. The characters will live a better life in stories I'll write for them. Nothing is lost or forgotten, not if I can do something about it

• Something else took the lead and became my main focus and the main focus of the developer team composed of me, @LivingCorpse7 and @MikyDrawssOfficial . Something much more important, and the reason as to why this post exists too as you're reading it. It wasn't something we said, we just all came to the same conclusion. While the idea of MA being continued was something we all would've liked (and it would've eventually been made), we just happened to like something else much more. So I took the call to can it. I have a better use for some aspects of this world than to relegate it to what MA was

But what is that something else indeed? And so here is my big reveal.

I am actively working on FNaF World: Universal Madness (by @LivingCorpse7 )

What? Oh, the screenshot? It's nothing exclusive (probably the logo on the bottom right gave that away). I just thought it looked neat.

But yes. I am working on Universal Madness as we speak. I'm not only suggesting content, but I'm actively helping in writing it.

I'm not a developer for the game and neither do I pretend to be. I'd like to consider myself as someone who made it his dream objective to see the game shine as bright as it could. I want to help out @LivingCorpse7 to the best of my abilities.

I'm honored to have been given this opportunity and I intend to use it fully. And when I mean fully, I mean fully.

You'd think this is the only document I made. No actually, there are more. Some are longer:

I won't give away what they are or how many of them there are... just know I have thought and written down a lot of aspects of the game, ranging from movesets to areas and more. And I am still not done. Far from it. Consider the documents as really big suggestions which are coming to life practically as written.

I've also been jumping from server to server to spread the word on the game and the excitement and joy I had the pleasure to read and share have been really wonderful to see, rewarding even.

I care about this game deeply. This is a dream project I never thought would see the light of day. But to see it being made practically as I wished for if not even more is something truly special to me. I do not intend to let this opportunity falter.

Why does this account exist?

Great question. Why did I make this? If you don't care about exposition, you can stop here. I told the big news. But if you wish to stick around for a bit longer, then hop right in. Let me tell you a story.

I discovered @LivingCorpse7 the day he put the video on Part 3 of development on Universal Madness. I wasn't even looking for that video, I just became nostalgic and decided to browse FNaF World videos. FNaF World has always been a game I've eyed ever since 2016, but something was different this time around.

His video stuck with me. It thoroughly impressed me, excited me. Everything looked so good. I had never seen models as good as his before. I think some of my synapsis burned then and there, or that's what I felt at least.

And I looked at all three parts in a row, video after video having me hooked, and then the fan game videos and I was so pumped. I was so excited for this. Damn it, I felt electrified like I hadn't for quite some time now. I even set up my computer to try FNaF World out even though it is a Mac, just so I could appreciate Universal Madness more.

One thing in his videos stuck with me. "If you have any suggestions, let me know". That was the meaning. Let me know. My hands were literally antsy: I really wanted to do this. But that also meant going in a place I swore to myself not to. But you know what?

Fuck it.

I wanna do this. All I needed was an email. So I needed a username. But what would it be? Something different from my last voyage on social medias like Discord.

And so I pondered and thought and it came to mind something: I like writing stories. Who better than Mr. Hippo to represent me? And what better name than an idiotic one of that one story he kept calling?

Yeah, too bad I misspelled it like a moron. But hey, I kind of like the d now. After all, it's silent... and small.

MOVING ON. So I started to write everything I had in my mind. I even reached 3+ posts a day. Just idea after idea after idea, writing down everything in the hopes that I could change the game for the better, that somehow my input would be listened to.

I think the community became a place with me only for a couple of weeks. I really wrote a lot back then, but there weren't a lot of posts either so in practice it became my turf for a bit.

And oh boy, I had quite some fun with it. Good times. And even though I didn't get a lot of likes, I started noticing that someone in particular was starting to like my posts. @LivingCorpse7 himself. And honestly, that's what really mattered to me. His first comment too on the challenge runs warmed my heart. I still remember how happy I was back then.

I really, really respect him for what he does and how well he does it. I'm in awe of his modeling skills and the time and passion he has for any project he decides to tackle. I might've come for FNaF World but honestly, projects like FNaF 2 in SL are simply wonderful. I can't get enough of his content, something I never really said for any other YouTuber. This is all very new to me, to be honest. And I'm not even a kid!

But I wanted to take it a step further. So I started playing the various FNaF World fan games and using the reviews as an excuse to judge them critically, and see what worked and what didn't.

That actually led to me meeting more people, more developers and having even more exposure which led to more and- ah, you get the point. I lost control of the situation. Big time.

But I started to realize this. Slowly. Both in what was happening and in what I was doing. I lost it. And it pained me to see making the same mistake I did twice.

And yet... yet I still kept helping. Still kept suggesting. My failures allowed me to be closer to who mattered to me the most and to meet new, wonderful people, in particular @MikyDrawssOfficial .

Morpheus' Awakening made me come in contact with both @MikyDrawssOfficial and @LivingCorpse7 . I am truly grateful for that and forever will be, even though MA itself is cancelled now.

A conclusion

I remember how it all happened as if it was yesterday. This is why I exist as an account. And this is why I keep going. I want to give it my all and to give to you all something you will never forget for how awesome it will be.

This is, in my opinion, the biggest FNaF World project that will ever come on this platform. This is a love letter to the whole community and to FNaF itself. What I have seen is simply wonderful. Even I who knows what, when and how things will happen find myself gaping in joy as to how they are being developed.

I'm really passionate about it. And I'll do whatever it takes to see it come to life.

Buckle up. This will be the ride of a lifetime.
