When I was younger I was a fan of Five Nights at Freddy's

and Sonic the Hedgehog

I wasn't that much of a fan of Mario

but I was on YT like a typical kid on my phone looking for FNaF and I found something, something that caught my attention

This: https://youtu.be/vz2jSlRjfxI?si=xIuyBnaoRMOwDJTB

I was surprised and saying like "this exists?!! it looks amazing"

and like a kid with unauthorized internet

I searched

five Nights at Sonic's (misspelled obviously lol)

(in those years I didn't know that video was just an animation I thought it was a real game and I searched and searched)

until I found something I never expected

Ianmario's five Nights at Sonic's

my curiosity was aroused and I saw gameplays like taste gaming or luigikid

I was sincere and I said like

"this thing looks bad because it looks different than the video?"

and what I asked myself the most

"why is mario and yoshi???"

I was left with more questions for a long time

until I discovered something called

five Nights at Sonic's reimagined

my reaction was the same

"what is this?"

and well years and years went by and I discovered something

maniac mania

in those years when I discovered it I was surprised and my "FNaS fanaticism" began

although I didn't even have a social network I followed

YouTubers like

toy bonnie 11234_yt well it was just that one xd

but well you know several projects were cancelled in those years next gen, maniac mania plus

at that time I only watched videos until

well maniac mania recoded was announced

that's where it all started I started to create a gamejolt account I didn't use it for months but one of those days my first fnas fanart arrived

it was withered tails

I still remember it perfectly

I only made my favorite fnas characters

and

then I described more things about fnas

that were

fnas fangames

that were basically the fangame of the fangame

a great example FNaS 3 reburned

I never thought I would see a well-done Fnas visually (in those days of course)

I played it and was fascinated

and well, as the months went by, the more fanarts I made

they were horrible, yes, but the more time passed, the more it improved, not that much, but something

I remember that I met a few friends in those years

they supported me and everything, even though I was not well-known

more time went by and I discovered more fangames

until I said

"hey, what if I make a fangame just to contribute my grain of sand"

I wanted to be like the people I followed

and it all started as a remake of fnas 1

but

more time went by and I wanted to change things, it became an AU of fnas

I showed the designs and someone came to

contact me

I don't remember his name

basically he saw my designs, my concepts

and he wanted to make that fangame a reality

I accepted and that's how the first version of FNaS Future started Madness

and I was still happily making fanarts of fnas

there was something wrong

my art wasn't good enough

I was redoing the art over and over and over like 2 times

because my drawing style was kind of weird

not good

weird

and well I kept doing the fanarts and everything was fine

until the coder left

there was a problem

how would I do everything now?

A friend offered and I followed normally

My name went from E.V.D.L.E to simply evdle

I'm honest with you, I haven't met so many people in all these years

I did meet my artist friend from fnas remake collection of fnafan

I would say that eertag is one of my oldest friends on the internet

And another friend that I met that I even consider my brother from another blood

is blansk

I just followed him and I got a shout to my account with the wonderful phrase

"Y yo que chucha" xdddd.

Time goes by, more fanarts

and more problems in my fangame

I didn't know how to make 3d maps in 2d

give the similarity of what 3d is

my project was failing

until one of my friends

offered to make 3d maps and another to code and I trace the 3d map

but something happened it's been 3 years since I made a fangame and more

I was depressed I feel that my time was wasted so much in a project

of a young me with hope and desire to do it

the me of now simply thought about how so much time was wasted in something that I will never achieve in doing

I had more hate and rejection to this project that I already wanted to cancel it

but I gave it so many opportunities until the day came

I joined other communities of fnaf fangames in 2d

like Those Nights at Villca's and Shadow Nights

with shadow Nights I met the creator who is cool

shad lol

I literally started enjoying drawing fanarts again

and it got to the point where I tried to draw fanarts more

I couldn't even think about it anymore

but there was only one thing that kept me tied

my fangame.

with all the pain all the sadness of letting it go

something like a child wanted to make a fangame ended up being cancelled

all that sadness of wasting time on fnas

and making my fangame/AU

made my sadness turn into hate a hate that would never end

I started to see fnas and its community with bad eyes

of how so many years wasted in the trash drawing fnas fanarts

fnas fell horribly horrible

until everything ended

I left the community I left fnas

to focus on my own path, my destiny, my future as an average 2d cartoonist

currently I'm happy with how I draw memes or fanarts of TNaV and Shadow Nights

I met several friends through

those Nights at villcas and shadow Nights

I even became a beta tester of Those Nights at villca's Classic edition collection

something that would never happen with fnas

In conclusion:

Do I have good memories with Fnas?

eeeeehhh more or less

I would say that Fnas didn't lead me anywhere but I remember my old fanaticism well

I'll leave this story here, there's much more to tell and much more I must discover

But hey

Happy 10th anniversary Five Nights at Sonic's

Thanks for reading I think
