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.

2026.

I've been feeling ill for the past week or so, but I am slightly feeling better now. I still have a cough, but hopefully it'll go away later this week.

Anyway have a sketch of Pumpkaboo I made for no reason... other than spooky month I guess?

Went ahead and updated the thumbnail, icon and banner for the page and community as I felt the one originally doesn't reflect how I draw the characters now, here's the new thumbnail without the text. what do you think of it? let me know
