Earliest in-dev gameplay footage of AHaR...?

More info in the article


Hello everyone, it's TFO04 here.

Today marks the third anniversary of the full release of AHaR! woohoo... I don't really have anything new development-wise, but I am going to try and get v1.5 finished and out before the end of March next year. But I wanted to show you a video featuring the earliest known in-development gameplay footage of it.

This video has been sitting unlisted on my youtube channel since mid-April 2021, four months before the first demo's release. I wanted to show some of my friends how much progress was done at the time of making the game. Some noticable differences are that a lot of the art for the rooms and the office are unfinished and unpolished, notably the E. Hall corner has a different floor compared to the rest of the rooms (I was originally going to have the floors of Raichu's Palace be completely blue, instead of blue and yellow tiles. and this is just a preliminary remnant that would later get replaced!)

The A.I. for the characters is also slightly different than version 0.95 and the final game, I would later replace the coding for the A.I. in a similar manner to how the first FNaF game did it. But other than that, the art for the office, rooms and the characters remain the same in the final, just with a little more polish added to them and stuff added. Also the name "spongebobpaul" on the game's date in the main menu is my former alias. I stopped using it in late 2021 when I decided to officially use TheFireOshawott04 as my alias instead.

Well I guess that's it for today's post. More progress on version 1.5 of AHaR is yet to come, but stay tuned. Hope you all have had a great Christmas (If you celebrate it, I know I sure have had a great one) and I'll see you around, take care.

Next up

happy new year everyone.

revamped arcade camera is finished! I haven't put it into the game yet but here it is... it's a little rough in some areas but otherwise I'm happy with how it turned out

more to come very soon

revamped party area is almost done - here I used GIMP to place the pokémon images on the walls using the program's unified transform tool. I'm going to draw some new images next to where natu and hoothoot are, just to fill in the empty spaces

now time to revamp the party area camera

if you're wondering how I do this, I model the room in roblox studio, take a screenshot once finalised and then trace over the image. not the most preferable method but I do it because I am very bad at perspectives

Happy Easter from the POPGOES team!

time to get to revamping the final camera for v1.5, which is the arcade.

more to come in the new year

also i'm aware AHaR has turned 4 years old but i didn't bother announcing it because it would be pointless

JOLLY ANNIVERSARY EDITION POSTER:

started working on a revamp of the supply closet camera

I plan to redo the ones for the party area and arcade after I am done with this. I'll also try to post progress of stuff that's coming/being changed in v1.5 as frequently as I can!

alright. time to get myself into gear and finish version 1.5; hopefully before the end of the year. and i mean it!

here's a new raichu image for the game's main menu to replace the old one I made waaayyy back at the start of development (in the 2nd image)

I swore to myself I wouldn’t post anything to avoid spoiling the new gameplay… but here’s a small sneak peek, the most exciting feature yet: your character’s legs move when you turn

A.I. changes [warning: flashing images]
