So now that everything is pretty much done what is next?

Well finishing the lore, At first I thought I was done the story, but after talking to my good friend mara I decided that I would instead rework all the phone calls, The story and some easter eggs and other storys that also occur at the same time.

The thing about fnaf games is that the story is.... shit. A good story is a story that doesn't require you to go off and watch a GT video to understand it. That being said fnafs lore is fucking amazing. The issue is that its never really told in game in your face like storys are supposed to do.

Due to this this can lead new comers who don't understand what the is going to not feel any emotional impact tow hat happened or any relief

Now this is not an issue with fnaf, The classic games were small indie games that were structured in a way where it would be impossible to have a full story and that story. However because my game is a fangame and because its UE4 people wont accept having a simple game that repeats for 5 nights with a simple story, there gonna want something bigger.

The issue with that is that, For most of the Fredbear's games is that I have been taking too much inspiration from the classic fnaf games instead of other UE4 games. Because of this the games are structured to be played like a game its not.

So how do I redo the story? Well thankfully there is a begging and a end. The problem is there is no real middle.

The story is that Jordyn who is the MC from FNAFB 1 (which I gotta remake after this game so you guys can play it and understand where she came from) Is unfortunately out of business from her new robotics job as the company she worked at shut down, She needs a new job, but also has dreams of her own to build her own animatronic empire.

Thankfully, Fredbear's is still hiring, Expect this time they have a bigger location, With another side gig to this security guard job too retrieve animatronic parts from Rotted locations. Seems like an easy oppriouty to, "borrow" Some parts on the job and also get money for it.

Now the issue here making a good middle part to this all. Now I somehow gotta figure out how I can translate the fact that she has her own dreams and takes her own parts into gameplay.

To help with this, I made it so that she talks to the mailman now, Which not only provides banter, But hints to Jordyn's Motivations and homelife. She also will talk to the guy on the coms for the salvage nights too.

I don't know if this will work, Odds are it wont since its a 5 night fnaf gameplay with a little bit of a story sprinkled in.

However I can say despite that, The endings you can get are pretty cool. The ways you can get them make you have to use your brain too (by using clues from salvage nights or previous nights or notes) I want to make it so that if the game teaches you something, You should have an idea to use that skill later on when the game doesn't tell you too.

The end night cutscenes will stay, as they tell the story leading up to the bite of 83. I can't really find a good way to put this in game without the cutscenes. But I will say when I get to making my own remaster of FNAF games. It will be explained shown in a POV view more.

There is also alot of easter eggs and world building to add. The challenge nights still need alot of world building added to them. Thankfully I have had help with posters being made, But if you want to help speed that up please contact me on my profile and we can talk on discord about it. The easter eggs and easter egg ends will be very fun to add too.

After that I need to add the VHS tapes of course. I am thinking of making a sorta side story you can find with these tapes. Kind of like sadies story from halo 3 odst. The story itself will effect the world too. So you may get answers to why some things are the way they are in the restaurant.

Thankfully almost all of the salvage night VHS tapes are done thanks to FNAF UNIVERSE RP. His animations are amazing and I am glad he could help speed that up.

All that would be left is getting the alt routes for salvage night done, Finding a way to explain that properly and figuring out challange nights story, Which ill explain when the time comes.

Anyways, About Jordyn? What does she look like? Well the images above (or below) should show that, Yes she is thicc, Why? I don't know, Its funny. Her model is very expressive though, Which should be helpful. You only can see her like this in the cutscenes since you play in a first person view all the time, but the intro and ending cutscenes should give you an idea of who your playing as.

Anyways, I hope you are happy and I hope this game can be done soon. Its been a long 2 years.
