Game Status Update (08/10/20) - From the Ashes, A Restart, & Regarding the Roster


Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update on what is currently going on!

As you may know, the project file of this game was wiped due to a hard drive accident, meaning all recent progress made was all gone. First of all, I would like to apologize for having this happen to a game in development for years. I feel like I let everyone down from the promise I have teased last year. It really bothered me because not only I have to start over, but I needed to pace the game faster in order to release it in the initial plan, otherwise, I may need to push it farther down.

However, one of the only positive things that came out of this is getting back to the roots of development. With the deal of restarting back to almost zero, I have the opportunity to make many changes or plans from the last recent (erased) version of the game. This includes making a more stable/optimized system, readjust gameplay, and reconstruct core elements that help shape the game. With that said, if you have looked over the description, you may have noticed the roster chart is no longer there. I decided to restart the entire roster, because I feel like a lot of characters/artists aren’t 100% committed to be in a huge project like this. Most characters are likely to come back, however some might end up ultimately being removed. Hopefully with the characters I have chosen, it will make for an Ultimate Custom Night for everyone to enjoy. (No, you cannot join the roster. Stop asking.

Oh, and to make up about what happened earlier, here is gameplay footage of a character in action! Please note the whole video is outdated! Almost everything is completely different to the final product. Enjoy!
