An In-depth devlog of Five Nights at Jaygi's +


Hello, my name is Jaygi, and welcome back I guess?

Jaygi what is this?

This is the original Five Nights at Jaygi’s page. Around March I said I would most likely restart FNAJ’s development due to me not being satisfied with it mainly because of these factors: One was that the art was outdated by 3 or so years along with adding my latest in the Jaygi art style so it would look extremely off when comparing the art style. Another reason being that I planned this so badly with a lot of factors of the game (Here’s proof it’s old, remember Team Core? Yeah that old.) And last but not least, it now contains outdated Jaygi lore, back then (like around FNAJ 2020) There wasn’t going to be any lore from the start, it was just a game you can play without having to worry about lore (Just like Flumpty’s.) in FNAJ 2021-2023 lore was put in the story and it contains some outdated Jaygi lore, and while Jaygi lore is changing every day at least, the lore in FNAJ 2021 was so bad I can’t read it without me having a small laugh about it.

Why make Classic?

I think this was explained in the first devlog of Classic but I explained that I was making Classic to hopefully learn how to code a FNaF fangame and see how can I improve from this game. No disrespect to Creepy but he was too busy with other projects he was working on and I didn’t want to annoy him every month or so if he can code FNAJ. So from using my already existing knowledge of Clickteam and learning how to make what I wanted, I created Classic. And I learned a lot, and from the knowledge I gain from making it I thought about restarting development for FNAJ to create a satisfying product for people to play.

What do you mean by restarting development?

I’m restarting everything from scratch, new art, new mechanics, new story which will eventually flow to Classic’s events since at this point it can be considered a sequel of sorts (in-terms of story not in gameplay), new ideas, and everything else. I will not be showing off what I’ve already made for FNAJ 2021-2023 (and also FNAJ 2020 since 2021 was based off of 2020) as it’s way too much (about 244MB too much.)

When will you start development?

In short: When I feel like it.

The long version: Classic told me I can’t juggle School and constantly working on the game. Don’t worry, I passed my Junior year of high school (surprisingly.) I don’t know when I want to work on FNAJ+ but clearly it has to be after A Christmas video I’m making, FNAJ Classic 1.1.0, my game dev break, and maybe after my senior year of high school. The reason for my break is mainly because I have missed out on a lot of things because of me constantly working.

Is it possible for FNAJ+ be finished for 10 Years of Jaygi?

As much as that sounds like a cool idea, I don’t think it’s possible to finish it by November 20th 2025, but then again it took me at least around March to finish all the characters’ AIs and the game was like 50% done by then and rest was polish and such idk. I have already began work on a Google Doc to share my ideas.

Jaygi what happens if you give up?

In the likely hood I lose motivation and cancel FNAJ+ (less likely to happen.) The game’s events would be told as little stories on my dumb YouTube channel. That’s just a backup plan. Even if it gets cancel the events will still happen and will be told by other means that isn’t a video game.

Do you plan on making more FNaF fangames after this?

No. FNAJ+ and FNAJ Classic will be my only FNaF fangames, the FNAJ characters can show up in other Jaygi media but there’s currently no plans to continue with FNAJ.

I think that all I have to say for now. Until then, see you in the flipside!

Unfortunately this game does not have original music but maybe another time...

I'm not starting progress but the new version is going to be called FNAJ++ because it's better to say that than current FNAJ or FNAJ 2021
