Hello.

This is a sudden post that I'm doing.

I've been on a very long hiatus that I even myself cannot comprehend what has happened. This will probably be very long, as Cam's as well. Please sit back and enjoy.

WHAT IS THIS POST?:

This post is me going over the entire shit that Cam (Formerly known as Smiler) has done these past several years, the future of FNaS and what holds for it. To cut things short, he left FNaS community and got straight up cancelled due to NSFW over one FNaS character (Don't ask me which one, please, as I don't wanna dwell it any further.). His formal apology, grief and awareness that he posted a week ago was more than enough to see that he owned up to his mistakes and wants to move forward, so much so to release every single archive from his personal PC, unfinished and left to rot, considerably as a ''permanent demo''.

I read it, of course, as any gamejolter would. And as every single person who dwelled down into pornography, I thought that he was gonna get a huge amount of backlash as I scrolled through 300+ comments (& counting) of his post. Instead, I was greeted with a mixed bag of emotions. Some feeling guilty, some feeling like he should've stayed dead and never return. I commented on his post saying that I believe in second chances, and that he's welcome back anytime.

Sure, scold me for all you care & want, but over time, I realized one thing. Even my family was telling me this, too. Don't learn from your mistakes. Learn from theirs. What Cam did was horrible, but let it be a lesson to us all that what he did was wrong and not... Normal. Not even considered normal in humanity in general. Let this be a tremendous lesson to us that pornography is bad, and it leads you to unforgivable and barely fixable relationship to whoever you had. Sure, being shit to someone and treating them poorly is one thing, but pornography is another. Cam's post feels genuine and apologetic and instead of running away from his problems like a coward, he faces them head on.

Not everybody is brave, I get it. Not everyone in this world can do many things. And, as much as I hate to admit this, this world isn't perfect. Nothing really in this world will EVER be perfect. Games, nature, products, projects, internet, engines, oil, money, status, nothing. Nothing will. Neither I am perfect, nor he is. I'm not defending Cam for what he did, but at the same time, I'm not scolding him. I'm not a kid anymore who refuses to accept logic to be placed on the table when someone tells me one thing and it enters one ear and exits the other. He faced the consequences and accepted defeat.

As for his archive, I played MM+ after discovering that YouTube was giving me recommendations for these things. Without it, I probably wouldn't touch Gamejolt for over 2 weeks, maybe more than that. MM+, while unfinished and probably never will be, did receive pretty decent development. Some skins are missing, like Phantom Mario for Phantom Tails & Birthday Boy Blam for, I presume, Withered Toy Sonic, along with Human Yoshi for Clone Yoshi. Only 11 skins have playable nights, Mac Tonight's & Headless Mario's is unfinished. As for the skins themselves, my favorites will always be Salvage Mario, Lefty Mario, Nurse Golden & B.B; as they do seem to be heavily created in some way. As for the controversies of some skins, like Clone Amy & Clon Sunky, they can die in a fire for all I care. People pushed way too much on these two skins. At least be happy that Nightmare Amy & Phantom Amy was being added, you weirdos.

Sadly, I had to delete the game shortly after, as I didn't find anything else enjoyable, besides an unfinished title screen for Pizza Panic, new skins which only 4 - 5 don't have finished jumpscares, skin selection menu that is overflowing with them all and we can't use any & codes, which were abusable at the time I was playing it.

For my final message to Cam:
Good luck on your recovery. I may not respect you for how you were a few years ago, and I might not now, but remember, without Maniac Mania, I wouldn't enjoy an UCN Fan-Game that consists of good artists and developers, along with cool skins on the line. MMI was also pretty fun, along with FNaS All-Stars. Whenever you are ready to make more games, we'll wait for something big. For now, farewell.

THE ENTIRE FUTURE TO FNAS:

I never thought I'd come to this, but FNaS has been a mixed bag ever since. On YouTube, barely anyone talks about it. I am not sure as to why, but it seems like people moved on from it, since there were no news. I thought that the series concludes, but looking through the wiki (official & unofficial), FNaS 4 halloween edition exists, which was surprising to me.

I don't really know what this future holds, but hopefully it'll be a good one. This fan-game does have, and still has, potential to this entire franchise of something that exploded in 2014. To be honest, I only heard about this fan-game ever since MM released back in early 2020. It was fun, interesting, and had the idea of adding almost every single fucking character in the game, heck, even some from games that were meant to be released from their respectable franchises, such as Dr. Golden from RockClones. The skins, apart from Lunineghtmare (Whatever you call him), was really Ok. Luigikid was funny as a skin & Swap!Mario was a really confusing skin to me. As I heard that MM+ was being made, I was hyped, like everyone.

I didn't, sadly, knew how to draw in their style, so I didn't bothered. I had a few ideas in mind, such as making Withered Bonnie for Withered Mario, Erma (From OutcastComics) for Phantom Yoshi, Clone Silver for Clone Yoshi & Zombie from PvZ for Withered Toy Sonic. Again, I am a pretty decent drawer, just not on PC. And at the time, I didn't know how to send my drawings from my phone to PC, so I didn't bothered. I was on the server before being kicked out of the server or banned due to inactivity for several months. Sorry for all of you who I was inactive, I just didn't wanna spoil myself for cool projects awaiting the year.

The future might not seem bright, but I feel like it'll be Ok in the future. Hopefully... Not very likely, but small sparkle of hope is still lighting that entire place.

A MESSAGE TO TEAM CYANTIX & THECYVAP:

You people did an amazing job making Maniac Mania & the small portion of MM+ & MMI. It was a neat experience, really, and I really liked all the character's mechanics. The Lab Mode was fairly interesting, as you can literally do the same thing, just with Balloon Toad's roster. Lefty Sonic was a surprise for being the shopkeeper, despite the fact SPS wasn't canon. But hey, cool shit happens. I want to apologize for all of you for not getting your dream out as you wanted it to be. I'm sorry for all the controversies that have happened over the few years, maybe more than that. I'm sorry for the sake of your team, who tried desperately to not do any mistakes at all, still tried to make it perfect as best as possible. I'm sorry that you had to cancel something so big for fans that they wouldn't shut up about Clone Amy & Clon Sunky. Or more skins that were controversial, like Toy Cream skin.

As much as I want to help you all to get back on your feet, I cannot. I can't interfere with something that it wasn't your fault, and I can't save this fan-game, no matter how much I know little to nothing or little to much about it. Heck, I don't even know after I got kicked/banned from the server and shouldn't be saying this, but honestly, I really do want to help you all. Just don't know how. I'm 20 years old and my old 16 year old's instincts of giving help is coming back again, wishing there was something I could've prevented this from happening, telling you all: ''Ignore them. They're just pushing your limits.'', but I didn't know it was gonna be that deep.

So, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you all couldn't deliver something due to stress, drama, controversies, arguments, etc. Believe me, I tried my very best to stay positive after owning a server with trolls, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't ban them, and that's why I left after their 3rd raid. But, since I do believe in hope, if you ever, and I mean it, if you guys ever want to try to revive MM as a whole, giving MM+ a sudden revival after 3 years of it being dead, trying to think positively and make it once again alive as it was back in 2020, it's not too late. Then again, UCN is almost 6 years old and it's become the mother of all FNaF gamers out there. It's probably very unlikely, but they're never 0. So, to all of you, I wish you all your projects and your future plans for whatever you have to be just as positive as you all are. A community where I tend to see something positive and filled with smiles, not toxicity like Twitter/X is.

To TheCyVap: I am sorry. Why am I apologizing? I'm apologizing because I get you. Sometimes being a main developer of MM is hard. It's been a while since I've heard of any Chaos Custom Night news. Roughly 3 and a half years, yet I still say there, hoping something will show up. I want you to know that you and your team deserves a lot more. Don't give up on your dreams just because of controversies, stress, hatred and complaints. They happen, they will always happen. Ignore them all, think positively and stay strong. You made Team Cyantix (Forgive me if I said that wrong, Idk who made the team) into a positive light that I didn't see that amount of it since 2020. I love your work and hopefully, one day, not today nor tomorrow, but one day, when you ever feel like you wanna return for MM+, giving it a proper revival, just know that a fan who played it and watched it from various YouTubers, such as Taste, GameSalmon & LuigikidGaming, will be waiting. Thanks for making this fan-game into a masterpiece. And I wish for the rest of your projects to be just as successful as MM.

Farewell to you all. I wish you all nothing but good luck in the future.
Five Nights At Sonic's will, and always will be a special fan-game to everyone at heart.

Goodbye. I wish you all a bright future.
