The Return to Freddy's Rebuilt 5th Anniversary (25/01/2021)


Back in 2021, I started one of the projects that definitely changed both my direction as a game developer and me as a person. What began as a small side project slowly became my main focus over the years and eventually turned into a saga.

I’m honestly both sad and surprised that I never did anything for the game’s anniversary. That alone shows how unfair I was to this project and to Rebuilt 2, leaving both to gather dust for way too long.

Nowadays, the games are still stained by mistakes I made back then. Mistakes I wish I could undo not with excuses, but with actions. Most of the drama has been forgotten, and I could easily stay silent about all of this, but five years is a long time. You grow up, things happen, and you start looking at your younger self and realizing how immature and fragile your ego really was. That was my case.

I know I’m not an angel. My silence about what happened behind the scenes left a lot of room for speculation. Some people see me as a horrible person, others as a good friend, and honestly, both sides are right. You can’t just shout that you’ve changed and expect everyone to believe it, so I won’t do that.

This is a post I should’ve made years ago, but better late than never. I’m genuinely sorry to everyone I affected with my immaturity back then. I could blame it on being 16, but that wouldn’t be fair. Plenty of people that age were far more mature than I was. My actions were impulsive and thoughtless, with no consideration for the consequences.

The situation involving Ewademar was a misunderstanding that I made much worse because my ego was extremely fragile. Believing lies and removing him from the credits was the wrong decision. Hitting that low point forced me to reflect. When you’re at the bottom of a hole, the only way out is up.

That climb made me realize that many problems I thought I was a victim of were actually caused by my own selfishness and my need to be the center of everything, which I wasn’t.

I’m not asking for forgiveness. This is just me showing who I am nowadays. And if you still dislike me, I understand. It would be hypocritical of me to say you’re living in the past when I’ve done the same.

I’m sorry for staining this saga with my past decisions. From now on, I’ll do things the best way I can, and I also plan to make a video addressing all of this in the future. Sorry for making this whole post about old drama. It’s water under the bridge, but I felt it needed to be talked about properly instead of doubling down like I did back then.

Also, about the game itself, my last post talking about Rebuilt 1 in a Rebuilt Minds style could actually be a nice way to celebrate a future anniversary. Maybe next one… or maybe sooner. Who knows. It really depends on how my motivation goes.

Thanks to everyone who stuck around no matter what. You’re the reason I came back.

And yeah, I promise I won’t forget future anniversaries next time lol
