Hello everyone! I wanted to give everyone a quick update on some things going on with the game.
1.) Welcoming Jennabun to AJ Entertainment.
Jennabun ([www.youtube.com/user/Pegasiste…](http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.youtube.com/user/PegasisterReacts/) and [jennabun.deviantart.com…](http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://jennabun.deviantart.com%85)) will be voicing Pinkie Pie in the game. Her voice is really great and I am happy to have her on board. The audio is available for listening on her YouTube channel and on the Game Jolt page for the game.
2.) Sound People Still Needed
We still need people to help us work out jump scare sounds for each animatronic and some ambient background noises. Trying to find some royalty free sounds, but none of them work really well.
3.) Game Images
There are only a few more game images I need to create for this game. Working on adding in the vent images, but I am having trouble with the textures not rendering in Source Film Maker. Going to try and see if I can get a better map that has some vents and work with it or I might cut them out of the picture entirely for this game. Not sure yet.
4.) Jump-scare animations
Currently working on getting the first of these done. Watching a bunch of tutorials on pose to pose animation before I start trying to get rough products available. Hopefully I can start full work on them by mid April and get them done before Mid May.
5.) Story
Yes there is going to be a story to this game. I have a few special images planned for in between nights and some rare loading images. I can't really add story things to the map (like changing posters and such) because I have no knowledge of how to do that and my current version of Photoshop will not work and I need to upgrade. While it is going to be somewhat similar to the FNAF cannon, it is going to have some definite variants. I've run it by a few people and I have 2, maybe 3, more people who are going to help me out getting back story set up. Some of the story will come through the phone calls, but I'm not going to make it too obvious.
6.) Tentative Schedule
Right now I plan to have all the game images done by the end of this month. Jump-scares and minor animation details are going to be hopefully done by mid to late April that way I can start compiling the game in early May. The first demo (2 nights, 3 for any brony YouTubers and Patreon supporters) will probably be out sometime after May 15th, because I will more than likely get the full version of Clickteam Fusion and add some necessary tools to it by late April. If everything goes to plan, I will release the game in full at MLP-MSP in Minneapolis, MN, USA June 12-14th. I'm trying to talk to a few people involved and see if I can get a table set up in the main area with a screen for people to play the game, if not it will be released for everyone to enjoy. This is if everything goes to plan. The latest that I want have this game out is in time for BronyCon August 7th-9th.
5.) Planned Sequels
I know it's really early to be thinking about this with the first game being in pre-production stages, but I have these starting to be planned. Nothing major will come out for them until after the first game is released in full, but they are planned. No matter how bad or good Five Nights at Applejack's is in the eyes of the players, I will still make them because I want to. The only way I will not make them is if I get a C&D. On that note:
6.) NON-PROFIT FAN GAME
I cannot stress this enough because it's only a matter of time before the haters of the internet unite and start pulling the same things that happened with MyLittlePinkie Studios' Five Nights at Pinkie's page. Spam comments that are just pure hate, wrongful accusations of stealing and even accusations that the software will hack computer files. This is not ok and everyone could tell it caused MyLittlePinkie a lot of unneeded stress. So in preemptive strike of income haters I will say this just once:
This game is a non-profit fan game. I am not using this game to make money, this game will not hack your files (I don’t even know how to do that stuff), and this game is not trying to steal anything from anyone. This game is just to honor two of my favorite things: Five Nights at Freddy’s and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I do not own these. FNAF is copyright of Scott Cawthon and MLP:FiM is copyright of Hasbro Inc. Please support the official release of these two great things and if you don’t think this is right or you think this game is bad, please keep it to yourself. I only have time for constructive criticism, anything helpful, and any praise that this might get. I don’t care if anyone starts spreading rumors, but don’t do it unless you have the evidence to back it up. Once again I make no money from this (the only money I get is from Game Jolt sticking advertisements on my game page). This is not a hacking bot program ( I’m an Atmospheric Scientist, not a CompSci major or hacking prodigy). Please enjoy this game for what it is.
Well that is all I have for this update. I am still working hard to make this the best game I can make and when the demo comes out I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for the support! Next Update at 1.5k views or 2 weeks
