Alright, so, we all already know this game is… Cancelled? Halted? Abandoned? I'm not sure myself. It was slowly being left in the dust, and I must admit I didn't find that up to my standards. I don't like leaving my stuff out when I swore I would finish it.

So, what happened to FNaF: AE?

To say it truthfully, I just didn't have time for it. I didn't have time for Five Nights at Freddy's as a whole. I also had a life, and my other occupations. Many of you don't know this, but I'm also a Roblox Developer. I also have work to do for studios, for example, unnamed. games, the studio behind SCI - Pathos III. Because of that, I slowly grew out of Clickteam Fusion. It was just too old and unfitting for me.

Artist and I also worked on future projects, even overestimating ourselves when we didn't even fully release FNaF: AE yet. We started working on the sequel, which was not a good idea since 1.5.0 of the game wasn't even out yet.

As for Artist, he was overworked and too stressed on his side. I knew he was growing out of working on this project as we started 2.0. Then, we just stopped talking? There weren't any arguments or anything, and I hope that he doesn't have any beef with me.

So, who's at fault? No one. It just happened that we were overwhelmed by life and had to make sacrifices. Unfortunately, it included Five Nights at Freddy's: Animated Edition.

As of now, on my end, I do see that this project is on a hiatus.

But wait... Is there going to be more FNaF: AE in the future? Why a hiatus?

I cannot guarantee that this project could be revived, unless if both parties want to work together again, which I am more than happy to. This is (for now) the best FNaF Fan Game I have ever programmed and contributed to, so it would be unfortunate to see this die like this. I don't want to say that it's cancelled, but... I honestly don't know.

Wait a second... Why is 2.0 out??

Ah, yes. Because of this, to solidify my massive apology, I have uploaded the newest beta build I could find. Everything that we have worked on, behind the scenes, is now up to the public to see. I don't wish for 2.0 to be lost without anyone playing it, so I might as well release it. Do note that the beta is months old... I did say it wasn't touched for a while.

This is a 'I'm sorry', and a thank you to everyone who have supported @DumbGreenFox /@JustTails and I during the development of this game. I hope to see you all in the future, who knows if this'll return...
