Hey, everyone! This is the our first update post in 2023. I've got some information to share today!

Before we go into what's new with the game, I want to talk about our plans for 2023.

First of all, I've been very busy for the past few months. There have been some times where I was free, but I couldn't work on the game as much as I wanted to. But that should ALL be over now. I should be able to put a lot more time in working on the game from now on.

It's not just me who has been busy, though. Some others in the team have been occupied by other things, too.

But now we should have much more free time to work on this game. So expect more info in our future updates.

Anyway... Let's get into the good stuff.

A NEW CO-WORKER APPROACHES!

As mentioned in our previous update, we've been working on a new character. We weren't entirely sure if he would make a good addition to the game, but after some experimenting & feedback we finally decided to add him to the Fazbear crew.

Introducing...

CASHIE!

(OR CASHMAN, I DON'T KNOW. WE CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER HIS NAME.)

Meet Cashie... cashman. I think that's his name. He is the cashier at Freddy Pizza Fazbear's. He doesn't like to talk very much. He just wants to get the day over with already so he can go home. He's usually in a bad mood, so don't go making his day worse for him. Or else, you may get an unexpected surprise.

That's all we have to share about er... Cashdude for now.

I feel like this is a good chance to talk about those two dark figures seen in the FSDJ banner.

They are are also co-workers, somewhat. However they won't make an appearance until at least day 3. So we've decided to keep them a mystery, for now.

I've begun to revise some of FSDJ's sub-stories. As well as the intro to the game. You may or may not have noticed, but I've taken down the preview demo to the game. It won't be down for much longer, though. I'm just making some changes to it so it fits the game's future. I've also added some small other things, which you will see once it's back up.

Like I said earlier, we've been quite busy. ESPECIALLY since the start of 2023. So for in-game wise the game hasn't changed very much since the lost post. But here are some of the things I have worked on.

A brand new render for Foxy during the first job you're given in the game. (Screenshot below is from 2020, for comparison.)

I've been working on some things in the arcade, starting with the prize corner. Still needs work, but you can interact with Banana Man now. This will how the game will look when you're interacting with your co-workers.

I've been doing a tiny bit of work on random events, too. We've got a few in the game now, but we're out of ideas currently. We had some good ones, but I decided to scrap them. In one of them you had to go find Chica in a random room and bring her back to the stage, but later I thought it was stupid, and removed it.

Here's an update on the OST. I haven't worked on it, but I've changed some plans on how I’m going about it. Originally I wanted to try to make it sound authentic by recording with real instruments & only SOME virtual instruments. But unfortunately I don't think I'm going to go that way anymore. I'll still use SOME real instruments. For example, Guitar. But right now I don't think I want to bother getting extra equipment. Plus, my house DEFINITELY isn't a good place for recording audio. So for now, I will be focused on using VSTs. Recently I've got a good handful of VSTs I can use for the soundtrack, so hopefully I will have some tracks to share in the next update.

I also want to talk about my plans about the soundtrack's release. I don't plan on releasing the full soundtrack until the game is complete. However I might release a "Demo cut" version of the soundtrack, when the demo is complete. Not entirely sure yet.

I will also be posting the OST on YouTube, so keep an eye out for that.

Wow, that's a lot of people. Thank you. I'm speechless.

I've been planning on making something in celebration, but I haven't had the time. But we'll whip up something cool within the next few weeks.

I really am speechless. Thank you for taking interest in our stupid game. It means a lot to us. We are super excited for you all to play this game.

END OF UPDATE

That's all we've got for this month. If you didn't know, we post updates of the game's development every 15th of the month now. We're going to be sticking to that from now on. We will tease some things in our future updates, but all of the good stuff will be in the updates released on the 15th.

Once again, thank you for the support. See you next month!
