In previous posts I said I was shooting for an end-of-August update; seeing as it’s now September, that’s obviously not totally accurate, but never fear! I am diligently working away, writing AI and animating jumpscares and so on! I want to make sure the next true update I post here on Gamejolt is better than anything I’ve released here so far, even after having rebuilt so much of the game from scratch. Because of that, there may not be an update here this weekend, depending on how much I accomplish.

However! If you would like to keep up with my progress in the meantime and get a taste of what’s coming, please head on over to the VNAF discord, where I post preview builds to the alpha-testing channel almost daily! Right now that alpha includes one playable night built using the new model of the restaurant (no jumpscares yet, but those are coming this weekend), a minigame that takes place in some other familiar locations, and an opportunity to explore the restaurant with a flashlight in a bonus free-roam mode! And there’s even more coming, so look forward to it…
