Hey everybody,
Got some more stuff this week, including an exclusive Fanverse announcement (massive hint in the banner)! Recent weeks have been a little empty but today should be a bit more exciting. So let's get started.

Kane Carter's BMC Creator Showcase:
I'm planning to host a sort of event on my Twitter and Game Jolt, where I share some brand new exclusive content from some of my very talented Buy Me a Coffee members! You can imagine it to be similar to a Nintendo Direct but as a series of posts rather than one large video.
Buy Me a Coffee is a subscription support service a bit like Patreon or YouTube memberships. You can check out my page here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kanecarter
A lot of the content that I'll be sharing from these people will be based on FNAF, but not all of it. This event will include some simple teasers, promo images, but also some game announcements!
The event is supposed to happen this Sunday, with posts happening every 20 minutes between 4PM and 10PM EST. This event will not include any new content from me or any other Fanverse member. But there is some REALLY cool stuff being shown off so I hope you're looking forward to it!
POPGOES Evergreen:
I think model work on the first post-night section is maybe at around 80% now. NeeTroo has continued working on it and it looks really good. It's complicated work but we're getting there.
In the meantime, Garrett has been working on the pizzeria and getting everything prepared for game-ready renders. Here's some random behind the scenes content:
Nothing final obviously, this is ALSO complicated lol. On top of this, we've updated the Blackrabbit model using Alexis' super accurate Toy Bonnie model. Though you probably won't be able to tell the difference, the new model is on the left:
And no this doesn't mean that we're going to re-render the Blackrabbit cutscene in POPGOES Arcade haha.
Speaking of Blackrabbit, here's a render of Popgoes holding one of Blackrabbit's pieces:
Positioning Popgoes (and anything he's holding) in a way that does not interfere with any of the light-emitting props in the background, is quite tough! But a necessity. Hiding him in the darkness makes him look a bit spookier anyway.
Oh and yeah, Popgoes will be able to print multiple parts from each room. So when he has only one part left, he won't just keep visiting the same room over and over again. That was kind of silly in the original game. The plan right now is that each room has three parts that can be printed. Should be better.
Last thing on Evergreen: FALSE MANGLE IS FINISHED! It's a terrifying, huge model. It's not my personal favourite of the five, that'd have to go to either BB or Toy Bonnie. When asking some other team members, Alexis said BB or Mangle was his favourite, Ellie said Toy Bonnie, and Odium said Toy Bonnie or BB, like me. Speaking of Odium, he's currently working on the middle stage for Mangle, which I imagine will be done before the end of the month.
Merch:
SURPRISE!
Yes, Youtooz is making a sitting Popgoes plushie!
Whether Youtooz is making sitting plushies for any other Fanverse characters, or whether Popgoes is getting any other types of plushies, is still a mystery.
But... maybe.
BUT CHECK HIM OUT! Isn't he perfect? This was designed by the Youtooz team and the artwork was touched up a bit with my direction by Jayfer (artist of the POPGOES Youtooz pins).
I have no idea when this guy will be available, or when we'll get to see a prototype, but I will of course keep you posted on that. I'm very excited. Another Popgoes plushie, but completely unique from the Funko and Hex designs. As always, the Fanverse fans are eating good. Well, eating decent. Still no gameplay programmed... One day though.
Okay that's it for this week. Don't want to add filler to the devlog so I'll leave it here. I want to say a big thanks to the Evergreen team who have continued to work hard on the game in 2023, and to Youtooz for giving us even more amazing merchandise opportunities!
