This is a decision I've been thinking about for quite a bit, changing the games name and I'll explain why.
The only thing that the title changes is Oscar's name, yes the blue cat is still the star of the game, Terry isn't a new character, it's just Oscar's new name. I originally came up with the name Oscar when making the "Pre-Prototype" as I like to call it and that was for two reasons
The game was originally only going to be one night, so like how Scott made FNaF five nights due to the words five and Freddy having a ring to it in the title. So I thought I'd name the main animatronic starting with an "O" so it had a nice title of One Night at Oscar's and because Oscar is the most cat sounding name on the planet (except Felix or Mittens)
Originally Oscar wasn't even called Oscar he was called Sammy because I always liked the name and wanted to incorporate that into a character. But there's numerous amounts of fan-games with a animatronic named Sammy or Sam so that was switched.
So why did I change it again? Well the game became ten nights long because I wanted to do something different from other fan-games, making more than 5 to 8 nights seemed to be something that fan-games haven't done a whole lot before. So for the acronyms sake TNaT is easier to pronounce than TNAO. In my mind I've been pronouncing it like "tuhnayo".
But not only that but now I've noticed the same problem the name Sammy had, now I see some other fan games with Oscar in the name too.

So changing the name now rather than later is better. I don't want the internet to get too attached or used to the name being Oscar.
Focusing on the tiniest of details for this fan-game make me feel like this.

Now on to the moment you've all been waiting for. More news for the game itself.
Well since I changed the name. It's led me to put some more updated stuff in plain sight, such as the cover being changed to fit the new name which means you can see that I updated the endoskeleton designs. They still fit the lore of not having a proper endoskeleton teeth but now they have more of a frame for their jaw and some more mechanical looking parts.

I'm unsure whether there will be a v0.0.4 for the game publicly or if I'll just release the full game when it's done. But either way, the game is currently quite different from the demo, I've spent the last few months just updating the game with new visuals that resemble fnaf 1 better than the ones you saw in the demo, also bug fixes have been made too, a working save system has been implemented and also the ability to log your GameJolt account into the game.
Okay I think you all want actual new screenshots for the game. So I'll just give you this vague as hell screenshot of one of the sprites. You can all theorize what this is lol.
