Welcome to the second monthly updates post. We got a lot to cover here. Some bad, but mostly good stuff happened this month. Some stuff here was in the last post, but there is some new stuff too. If you haven't already, make sure to follow this games page if you want to receive more updates about this project!

PROGRESS

The second camera room is almost done, and I am planning out the third camera room. The Camera Rooms will take less time going forward as I have had a huge surge of motivation and inspiration to work on this project.

However progress has had somewhat of a stumble. Previously, this game was being worked on in Godot 3.5, but since I saw Godot version 4.0 was out and had a bunch more features that could make the game play much more smoothly, and had many more options, I had to convert to Godot 4.1.1. This, unfortunately, broke the project completely, throwing off all of the sprites and code, so I had to fix everything which took a while. It's fixed now, but it has delayed progress quite a bit.

(Below is a small portion of what happened)

The story board for the opening cutscene is still going pretty well. Probably will be getting around to animating it later this month. I've also been working on a few gameplay teasers, character teaser as well so look forward to that. I'm also updating the "Your final moments" image on the game page, so that will soon change as soon as this post goes live!

FUTURE STUFF TO EXPECT

• Game page updates - Not much new stuff will be added here. A teaser may be added, and some outdated images will be replaced with an updated version.

• More Gameplay Teasers - When the camera rooms start getting finished up, I'll have more time to focus on gameplay mechanics, and after the Purgatory Freddy Test mentioned in the last update, teasers of AI in action will be shown. These will mostly be screenshots, but I will show a video of gameplay once things start working together.

  (Below we'll see a more final version of something like this in the future)

  

• Full Purgatory Freddy Teaser - I will show off Purgatory Freddy in full on Halloween Night. I'm incredibly excited to show you more of these guys, but since Purgatory Freddy has been teased a ton, he'll be shown off first.

• Scrap Day - I love showing behind the scenes stuff on my projects, so I decided, if I have something I scrapped since last month's update, I will have a post dedicated to the scrapped content on the 15th of the month. This will start on October 15th, and will be a semi-common occurrence until the game is in it's Beta stages. Don't worry after the game releases (which hopefully be in 2024) I will upload an entire collection of each piece of scrapped content from this game.

• Spin-off announcement - So, I'm going to admit something here. If you saw the last post, you'll know that I hinted at a sequel so I can learn how to design sequels, and everything else that a game franchise might have. After that post, I did plan out a duology with one spin-off game. Now don't worry, the game has plenty of space story wise to do this. After the Alpha stage is almost finished I will reveal the Spin-off game that will go into production after the release of this game.

• Redraws - These are coming a lot sooner than expected. As I improve in my art, I get less and less satisfied with the drawings that are in the game. This was meant to go into effect after the final Alpha build is done, but I no longer feel like the Alpha build provides a good base for this games visual identity. This means old stuff will be reposted, but updated with new visual elements.

• Helpy - Still not in the game, sorry not sorry :)

Community Changes

Not much happening here tbh. However I will happily answer any questions about the game on Discord, or in the comments of any of these posts. I will hold Q&A's if this page gets popular somehow.

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH YOU CASEY?

I've been pretty busy with college tbh, but it surprisingly hasn't gotten that much in the way of development. That might change once I get a job, but that remains to be seen. I have sort of had another fnaf related idea, so I might make another fan game series (I know I know, but sadly, I am anything but consistent). Priorities though, I need to work on this first, and I've been really motivated to work on this game for quite a bit now, so like, yeah. Everything is going smoothly on my end.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading this again, and see you all in the next post. Sorry for the lack of visual stuff (and the rushed Helpy drawing). Take care.
