Interview with @Fredinator

Creator of when the lights go dim


How did you come up with when the lights go dim?

"I came up with "when the lights go dim" around 2021, originally before that it was planned to be a bigger fangame that had original characters (which some were shown on the page as concept arts). however, we decided to cut that and make the game shorter with the nightmares. It had some stylized models that I forgot the name of, but they weren't the ones used now. After a while the game fell silent and then recently I'd say.. 2023? (more or less) I saw the old room (that was awful at the time lol) and decided to have it picked up and redone visually. The game stuck with the FNAF 4 vibe and from there me and Radsla cooked it up with MANY changes till what it was today. It was honestly a random fangame when it first started with the OCs, but then became an actual project as of recent as what we know now."

What project are you gonna work on next?

"I'm currently working on the AGP Reboot, but I will say (as it has been said before) the Bradley's 1 remake will be worked on after. And perhaps a future update to WTLGD."

What do you hate about fnaf?

"Nothing too much, my only gripe with fnaf is how kid friendly it appears to be. Into the pit is actually the best we've gotten that wasn't a fangame that wasn't kid friendly. I basically would like the darker side of fnaf, but it's more of a nitpick than me officially hating cuz I don't really have anything to hate on at the moment lol"

Who is your favorite character in fnaf?

"Tough one, I'd say withered bonnie though"

What style do you think is the best for fnaf?

"This is an odd answer, but I adore the "Scott" style, not overly realistic but it has its own unique catch of style like FNAF 1. However, I am fine with realism too if it's pulled off very well and can make me feel uneasy (seen quite a lot of examples that do this so I'm excited. :))"

What is your favorite fnaf fangame?

"Let's see, it funny enough used to be Candy's 3. I still think to this day that game was ahead of its time and it still holds close to my heart. However I've gotten a new favorite I'd personally say Final Nights 4. I have many contenders with it so it was definitely a tough choice, but I'm gonna go with Final Nights 4. The game is genuinely one of if not the best fredbear game to me, so much content and mixtures of the original games before it. I love it so much"

When did you start modeling?

"I started modeling in 2017, more or less. I obviously was god awful at it, but over time I got better and better to what I am now. I still got lots to learn/improve on but I started at that year"

Which model did you enjoy modeling the most

"I enjoyed making a lot, the one I actually love the most is one I can't show/discuss about because it's private, however I can say the characters in Ramiz & Friends: Revisualized are my favorites so far."

What is your opinion on fnaf world?

"I think fnaf world is great, very underrated. It's a very solid spinoff and wish it'd have more updates to it. But overall it's a solid game"

If you could change anything in fnaf what would it be?

"Keep the horror aspect, add more gore to it. I don't like the idea of fnaf aiming for kids lol, but I mean it is what it is"

What fangame do you think is the best at replicating dark topics?

"A shadow over Freddy's I'd say, especially the dark and scary"

What fangame the worst in your opinion?

"If I had to say bad, it'd be candy's 2"

The interview is done! Would you like to state anything?

:Not much that's been said before, but for a word of encouragement to new developers. Don't rush your works or focus on gaining fame. Just have fun and treat the project as a passion project rather than a race to fame or views."

Thank you for this opportunity!
