CroLand - is my fan game that was made after canceling my last fan game "Welcome to workshop".
This game was canceled because my ambitions became bigger and I wanted to make something more cool than just a fan game on clickteam. So I started making CroLand without a team. At that time I knew absolutely nothing about ue4/ue5, I don't know how to model and texture. Because of this game development for half a year almost did not move. This project was just there and that's all, I wanted to develop it but I just couldn't.
When I realized that I could not cope with the development alone, I started looking for a team. That's where the story of the game that many of you know began, because that's when the game started gaining more and more followers.
Around the time we made the final roland model, we were able to get into fangame direct 2. We were supposed to have a small teaser, between the other trailers, but as you can see fangame direct 2 was very, VERY delayed, so the team and I decided to post the animation earlier, you can see it in this post - https://gamejolt.com/p/meet-the-final-roland-model-67wgq9tg (now it has 777 likes lol). We actually had a very short deadline to make this animation, so I almost didn't sleep for a few days to make this video and that's when I started to get really burned out.
my dislike for fnaf started after just a bad game fnaf help wanted 2 (THIS IS MY OPINION! I know a lot of people thought the game was good. But personally I find it incredibly boring and bad. If you remove the word fnaf from the title, the game will not change anything).
And now for the interesting part
New Year - It was on New Year's Eve that I started to realize that fnaf wasn't what I wanted. I started to drift away from the series more and more, and started to spend a lot more time on other original projects, with just a huge desire to make my own original project that wouldn't be tied to fnaf or other games.
Now let's go back to the beginning. Canceling welcome to workshop led me to start doing something bigger and cooler. It's been a long time, and here I am again. I'm freezing my project to start doing something even cooler again.
maybe it's for the best?
Anyway. Being in the fnaf community was a good experience. Yes, there have been a lot of downright bad and horrible moments, but I realize that they were my own fault. But I'll always remember those two years spent developing fan games, and I'm really sorry that in two years I only released the terrible fnaf 3 remastered.
Thank you all for putting up with me all this time.
I'd especially like to say thank for:
CroLand team/raven skull team
You all better guys, you're the reason my time in this community has been more cool!
I could tell a lot more stories if I wanted to. But I don't want to stretch this post into 9999 more paragraphs.
This is goodbye time. If CroLand is unfrozen, it won't be me doing it anymore. I'll find a truly worthy person for the role. But I don't think that will be anytime soon.
Goodbye. And thank you for putting up with me all this time. Dear guest.
