The Return to Freddy's 5: Epic Return

2 months ago

I will admit, while I do think people overacted that this game was a troll, this isn't a funny one.


The sad thing is, to put it simply, much like how Final Security Breach wasn't the story Scott wanted to tell, this wasn't the 'troll' game I wanted to make. Had I managed to actually finish the game as I intended, it would've not only been a lot better but also received a lot better.

The game would've been chopped up into tiny 'chapters.' I don't remember what was exactly planned, but a chapter I do remember that was cut was after you found Jack and he gave you access to the last floor, there was a chapter before you ended up in Hamjock's lair. It involved you going down the elevator making your way to him, and the Beast would sometimes poke its head out through open holes in the elevator. I remember you had to put on a mask, and there was something else you had to do in the meantime, but I can't recall what it was. The biggest blow that shows this game failed is that Hamjock's segment was supposed to be super high-quality to the point it was funny given what you were doing, as well as the Custom Night actually being really good, having multiple enemies with unique mechanics... As you can tell by the final game, I really dropped the ball.

I might give this game justice, similar to other games like One Night at Smiley's, which started out as crap but then I remade them to be actually decent. This is because people do care for this game, somehow. So, making it the best it could be would be very nice for those people.

I don't know, I enjoy taking my old work and making it more presentable.


At some point before I entered my 'make slop peak' era, I did consider giving this game a 2.0 update. I hadn't thought much through, but there would've been a segment where you would play as Hamjock, walking through a crappy platformer.

I might reuse this idea if I decide to give the game justice.

I don't know, Hamjock has grown on me, but I can't really love him because he came from a crappy game. Also, his name sucks, so I'm changing it. His new name is Spamcan, a reference to his concept art that explained the reason why he was even named 'Hamjock.' Like the rest of the game, however, something happened, and the reason why that's even his name was lost over time.

The Vigo launcher is done, thanks to Jarate. The accompanying footage is also from him.

In other news, the other new weapon being introduced in this mod is also making progress.

The game is now open source, enjoy doing whatever you plan on doing with this information.

Soon TRTF: Deathmatch will be getting a page since I hit a milestone I promised myself I would wait to hit until I start teasing it properly, which is THE PLAYERMODELS BABY! (originally ported by ossnowie & Elijah, I have been given perimission to use it)

Okay I lied when I said the game was releasing on Friday, because I released it just now! I'm so evil, muahahaha!

Announcing TRTF 5 Epic Return...

First playtest done by @Lord2903 , Feedback was "You made a good game" so I think I'm in the clear.

I'm aiming for a Friday release however no promises, we'll see, I can promise you I'll try my best.

Sweet, sweet jesus

This is Speedy, a character from a major update I planned for this game that was canceled about a year ago

Fun Fact:

In the files of One Night at Springtrap's 1 there exists images of an unused blink meter

These could've been the replacement for the toxic meter or you could've just blinked every few seconds

It also could've been related to a vent seal

Working on lockjaw's jumpscare rn
