This post is not going to be that long type of deep & emotional post, as much as I would love it to be that I don't actually have much to say lol. but I will try my best to still say as much as I can.

for starters, I can't believe I actually got this far. to think I started all the way back in 2022 with no idea of how clickteam worked, to this... is nothing short of amazement.

so many games, so many great memories. I really seem to have a passion for game design, I guess I can't blame myself though.

For years I've always been the creative type, the only problem is that I was very impatient and had no idea where to start due to how young I was.

I tried to make fangames all the way back in 2015-2016 as a matter of fact, yeah I've been a fan since the beginning. hell even my steam account was made back in 2015 lol.

back then I tried to use scratch, you're probably wondering: why haven't uploaded any of these or why have I never brought them up until now... you really wanna know the reason? well they never got past the menu...

Some had buttons and base offices ready, while others like the springtrap one literally only had the menu character twitching...

There were also other ones which had other parts of the game started, probably so I would have them ready when it was time to code. like notably this one which I really like lol

overall the reason they never became a reality was because I was roughly 10 or even younger, combine that with impatiences and easily giving up, it aint too surprising none of these got even remotely finished.

As much as I really like this one specifically since it has charm, I don't think I'll ever do a revival of this or any of the other ones even as a joke. it feels like im holding onto the past to try and prove i've been a fan for much longer than what my gamejolt account says.... yeah im kinda ashamed I never got into making fnaf fan games sooner or atleast joining the community properly at a sooner point, even though I know that would've been impossible since it took me years to get out of bad habits & learning how to be more patient to make this work.

it just makes me sad I guess? I really wish I could be up there in the big famous room with all those other famous people.

I wish I could've at least joined in 2020, then I feel like I really am a proper fnaf fan. but no, I joined in 2022... not even 2021, no 2022... I know I said it myself there's no way I could've figured out how to make games back then since I was still learning stuff and also because I just genuinely gave up on it before and was enjoying life with other interests but it still stings me everytime I think about it.

I guess I am glad I still managed to get here anyways, better late than never right?

anyways as a little time jump, at some point I actually made a gamejolt account with the help of my bigger sister. I was still too young & had zero idea of how the site worked so it was abandoned the same day it was made lol... I do sometimes think about maybe trying to hunt it down to get it back and turn it into my alt or something but it's probably gone.

I don't remember anything about it and I would be surprised if my sister did.

Now enough reminiscing, I've done some thinking since I actually got this far & decided to give myself a goal when I reach 1000 followers.

it's not much but I kinda like its simpleness:

• Try to become a Gamejolt Creator if possible.

• Rebrand with new original oc.

• Make a special anniversary type of game sometime after the 1000 followers goal has been reached to celebrate.

• Make an original game that while still heavily influenced by fnaf, can hopefully be considered its own type of thing.

Yup, that's it but I think that's all you and I will need once we get there.

you'll probably be surprised about the new oc part & well I've wanted to do that for years before I even joined fnaf properly again in 2022. as much as I love this pfp as its so old & has many great memories attached to it, if not a lifetime

I definitely need to let go and try out new things, this thing however isn't leaving forever as I will still use it for my steam and discord, it'll probably just not be here on gamejolt anymore once the rebrand is done. I can never truly throw it out, it is literally a part of me if that makes sense.

As for hopfully becoming a gamejolt creator, making a little money on the side definitely would be great support & perhaps let me put in a little more time into this. I'll still do it either way if I don't end up getting it so don't worry lol, I love making fnaf fan games too much & I am not greedy but it would be nice, a type of reminder I've really made it if you know what I mean.

as for the original game, i'm not spoiling anything

however for the anniversary game... I think I'll give you a little teaser, however it's up to you to find out what on earth it is & whether it's a remake of something from the past... good luck!
