Happy Four Years of... Nothing!

[Read Article]

Somehow, this game is four years old already.

What started out as a simple FNAC 3 clone, turned Jolly

rip-off is probably the longest a FNAF-Fangame made using Scratch has ever taken and it's honestly due to my terrible motivation issues.

ADHD sucks, lol.

So, I wanted to make this post mainly to commemorate a lot of early stuff from Liam Shifts past. It took a lot of digging but I found some pretty neat things :)

Also, I traced these through an online art thingy so you could actually see what's in the picture.

Earliest Build

Liam Shifts, or as it used to be known as 'Project: Liam', was a FNAC 3 rip-off. Back then, my dumbass lacked so much creativity that I'd steal other peoples ideas and claim them as my own, and I also was obsessed with making myself the main character. So with that, you get this horrid piece of art.

If I remember correctly the game was supposed to be me having a nightmare about myself coming to kill myself in my dream. Edgy shit.

'Post-Jolly rip-off' Build

This version of the game was the first that was completely original, and didn't make it very far. Some of the remainders of it are still up on my scratch profile, but I also have a Youtube video from pretty early in development.

Here's the link!

Basically it's the premise of FNAF 1 but with different mechanics. It's pretty terrible considering the fact that it's my first non-remixed/idea stolen game I ever really made.

2021 Builds

Since I'm lazy, I decided to basically put both 2021 builds into one thing.

So, unfortunately, I was a lazy idiot again in the first half of 2021 and decided Liam Shifts was going to be a rip-off of Radiance's FNACEC: R with me and my friends. Thankfully everything from it is nonexistent due to my computer being wiped.

The second half of 2021, I'm much more pleased with.

Basically it's an actual original game that got pretty far, until I scrapped it. One of the early stages of it is still on my Scratch profile so I might as well give you the link!

Anyways, that's it for this bit.

2022 & 2023 Builds

Not much for 2022 or 2023 so I just mashed these two together.

2022 was a pretty good year, I got a lot of stuff done and a bunch of key features laid out for multiple versions. This one has a version still up on my scratch profile, but is very unfinished. Also, I really liked the second version of the office in this build, so I sketched it off the top of my head. Anyways yeah.

Here's the link btw

At the start of 2023, my brother wiped my PC clean, so the first half of 2023 was wasted, but the second half of 2023 was pretty good progress wise, and a friend of mine started helping me on the game, @SisterBee , I got a lot of planning done, with her help. I would show some screenshots... Buttttt, it's spoiler-heavy so I'll save it for another time ;)
