I feel terrible. So terrible

So, my main computer broke down, and that had my FNaB game files, and that sucks. But that’s not the problem. The problem is that even with the game files, the game most likely won’t be finished.

Making a fangame isn’t as easy as expected. I came here looking for fun, I enjoyed FNaF and when I found out that people were developing fangames, I was excited. I opened up C4D, hoping to create characters for my fangame. My first character was awesome, and I loved it. I uploaded it everywhere, even on DeviantArt. I then started to create the 2 other characters. And honestly, it was great. Then came the time for coding it. I made a simple camera system, and put the characters in. It was looking great. That was until I planned to have 20 or so cameras and a bunch of animatronics. That’s when my fun ended. It was terrible. I wasn’t having fun, it was boring. I decided to play another game.

I saw the publicity this game got, and the amount of people begging me to release the game. But I simply could not do it. I had to lie to you guys. I feel like I betrayed all of you.

Most FNaF fangames get cancelled on GameJolt, and I understand why now. The pressure is too much and it’s just not fun anymore. FNaF is a great game, I’ll admit, but you cannot make a fangame out of an original game. You could, but the result won’t be on-par with the actual game. From a starter game dev to another starter game dev…

Don’t start off your game development carreer with FNaF, make original games. You could even make Pong or a simple platformer, start off simple. A great example of this is my game on GameJolt, Roadodge, because it’s an original concept. It may not have a large amount of views or plays, but I’m proud of it, that’s all that matters. You’re in for the game, not the views, plays or money, remember that.

Don’t turn into EA.

Is FNaB cancelled? No, I’m not setting it as cancelled, I want it to be an example to everyone, this is what happens when you think too large. Start off simple.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

not the greatest house, but it's a house! :D

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)

Out of boredom and curiosity, I coded Sailor Jupiter's Argentine Backbreaker.

The Authority decided to investigate the Basement and leads to recovering classified documents Fun fact: The building has 928 doors and not 1000 doors. #horror

Sonic and Shadow as Pokémons. #Fakemon
