HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY TO PHOBIA: THE AWAKENING!


Goodness gracious. Three years have already gone by.


I never thought I was actually going to release one of my many weird FNaF fangames featuring The Wiggles puppets I had been making for years, but there I was, stepping far out of my comfort zone and seeing what people would think.

It's been a surreal experience. Lots of fun and good to come out of it, and maybe too many times where I've questioned if releasing Phobia out of all things I could have made was a good idea. I must admit, Phobia kind of bothers me nowadays, hence why I made the choice to rebrand it as Showman's, which I am far, far happier with. I really wish I had made that change years ago, but better later than never.


Despite everything I sometimes think or may say, I'm happy to be here. I wish I was the powerhouse I used to be but times have been rough and things have been too slow, which I apologize for. I'm trying my best, but I'm only a human being making some FNaF fangames to learn more about game development, and also simply because I love FNaF a lot.

My best advice to anyone making fangames should do the exact same. Don't worry about making something super original, don't worry about your graphics, your mechanics, or anything else. Just have fun making a fangame. You'll continue to learn new things and maybe someday you can use all that knowledge to make a really cool original game in the future! Of course, if you wish to challenge yourself to make something unlike most fangames, then go for it! Just remember to never stress too much over it. You also don't owe anyone anything. You're making what you want, and if you don't want to do it, then don't force yourself to!

VERY exciting news for Range Engine came out a while back! 2.0 sounds really promising!

Thankfully I’m only working on assets, plans, and scripts for my games right now, so maybe 2.0pre1 will be out by the time I’m ready to do programming!

I come to bring sad news about The Wiggles Five Nights at Freddy's series.

All of The Wiggles Five Nights at Freddy's series game videos on my YouTube dot com had their comments disabled. This is because I thought it would be funny.

"You've Got Murray in Me."

Vocals and voices by me myself.

"You've Got a Friend in Me" piano song from a Disney piano collection album. I obviously did not make it as I do not contain that kind of talent.

Please I don't know how to draw fans

The stream motivated me a lot, I'm really happy with this drawing!!

I once said on my stream that if the SHOWMAN’S animatronics were animals, they’d actually be a band of alley cats! I do have a drawing of Showman, who’d actually be named Tuxy, as I feel more fun names would better suit them as animals.

A joke I made with @Sillylilman that turned into a good idea for a drawing

Happy 4th anniversary to Phobia: The Awakening!

Releasing this game was a huge step out of my comfort zone, and it's been my biggest blessing and curse at the same time.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support!

SHOWMAN! 1!1!1!

Big update on the overall SHOWMAN'S series!
