Yeah in case you were somehow doubting me, I wasn't joking when I said this game was getting a major update, lol.

Keep in mind it looks considerably worse here than it does in-game due to the gif's compression (and gamejolt's... gotta love that white background.)

It is also much slower, but that's just so that you can see it better.

Here's how the old one looked, for comparison:

The new one is not only less crusty, but it also looks more fluid.

I have absolutely no idea what was going on in my head when making the old one back then, but I think I made it around 2-3 AM, which probably explains a lot lmao

This jumpscare was one of my biggest gripes with 1.0.

Overall, I'd say it's an upgrade, right?

It's still far from being the best jumpscare in the world, but to be fair there's only like, 3 official images of this version of Leonard, so there wasn't much to work with in the first place.

Anyway, I'm still on my break, but I felt inspired to do this ahead of time since it was just announced that 4R was 70% done. (yay!)

As I said before, development of this major update won't truly start until that game releases due to me being burnt out from coding (the entirety of 1.0 was made in just 2 weeks, so you can probably imagine how I felt like afterwards), so I wouldn't recommend expecting many more news until then. This was kind of an exception.

I think the wait will be absolutely worth-it though. If I manage to add and improve everything that's on my list of plans, this update could be a real banger that would make 1.0 look empty in comparison.

On an unrelated note, I'm honestly surprised I was the first one to do something related to FNaTAS 5... Funnily enough Jaiden himself allowed me to keep this game up because "the community had already waited long enough for a fixed version of it"

Does that make this official? Not in the slightest of course (damn I wish 😔), this is still fanmade, but I really respect that he even let me do this in the first place. A lot of other game developers probably wouldn't.

Welp, see ya uh... idk, whenever the time comes, I guess~
