Hihi everyone, so given we hit the big 2k (thank y'all SO much for the support!!!!!) and the fact we've made MAJOR progress on the game, we've decided it's time to both overhaul the page and make another proper update post! So without wasting time, let's get into the meat and potatoes:

Why another page revision, what happened?

I'll try to put this as short as possible, basically a month or two ago me and Rose (@PoisonousPastels /ShinyRuban) were discussing how we wish we had gone with a white palette for Tophat instead of the Toy Bonnie-ish look he had previously due to the fact that Tophat IS supposed to be White Rabbit from FNaF World, all of the cast except Chica and her prototype self are entirely based on the FNaF World cast/enemies. Then we realized "wait, why CAN'T we switch it?".

So we did just that! Every single render in the game has been updated with an entirely new color scheme for Tophat to properly reflect what he's supposed to be. However, while updating him we had a second thought: "Why stop there?"

So instead of just Tophat's renders being replaced, most if not all of the renders ingame have been entirely redone! Why? Well it's pretty simple:

A lot of the game's visuals had been made over the course of a LONG period of time, hence leading to some things being inconsistent with the way we want to present the game now. So as a result, we went back and both updated the lighting entirely but also fixed a lot of inconsistencies with the environment! They're pretty small all things considered, things like the Russel (Redbear) poster missing his cheeks, the carpet texture using the completely wrong design of Chica which was from a previous iteration of the game, lighting being weird in some places, that kind of stuff. But while those things seem small, it's all the little details that matter in an experience like this!

If you want to see how much the renders have improved, here's a comparison of the old and new Crossroads!!

How much of the game is done?

It's pretty safe to say at this point that most of the game is done, all that needs to be done now is finishing the cutscenes, menu stuff, the free roaming sections, and that's pretty much it! The only things left to do in the main gameplay are implement Lolbyte's voicelines and add subtitles, otherwise we're all set in that regard!

Speaking of voices, we've got the whole game casted and we're SO happy with the results! We're super fucking grateful to everyone we've brought on as we wouldn't have been able to bring these characters to life in the same way without them, me and Rose are really happy with how our roles turned out too!! We're really excited for y'all to hear the characters in action, and here's a major shoutout to all the outsourced vas!!

Welp, that's pretty much all for now. We'll definitely have more to show maybe soon? We'll see, but for right now take a look at this sick amv that Rose animated based on the game!
