Game
Rebranding...

1 year ago

A little update of the game's structure and my future as a developer.


Hello people who came across this game and stuff, I wanted to talk to you about how development is and how stuff will be handled now onward for the game, you can see that lately redesigns have been imminent and very across last month, I wanted to give everyone a heads up for what is coming and an estimation about how long the development will last.

Main mechanics of the game have not been implemented yet since we're still on the drawing board, trying to brainstorm unique mechanics for each and one of the animatronics, and also Gigio, the creator of the game and sole 3D modeler of it has been now redesigning most of what was already established, and frankly, it's starting to look fantastic.

Unfortunately, a game takes a long time to get just right, there's a lot of things that still need to be made from the ground up including cutscenes, special nights, shop menu, etc. Me trying to estimate how much these things are going to cost in amount of time is quite unreliable but a little bit more realistic estimating how fluent the development has gone until now and extrapolating that to the rest of the game.

The actual release date I see the game finally released? Fall 2024, most definitely, I want to say that this is NOT by any means an exact date and it is possible I'm overestimating, but I think it's fair with how the development is going, that this is the time I truly see myself and Gigio finalizing the game.

Little FAQ here:

  • How much % of the game is done?

I hate this question a bit since there's no really an exact % the game is done, especially cause I don't know how much of the modeling is left and Gigio doesn't know how much of the coding is left, not only this, every single aspect of the game varies in priority and importance, so saying for example that we just lack the special nights would not mean we're close to finishing, since special nights require a lot of renders and a lot of coding. If I had to give a range I would give it a generous 10-20%, not to crush any dreams or something but making a game as ambitious as this fangame will be is hard and time consuming, thankfully I will be going in winter vacations which means that I'll have just a bit more time for programing and directing the game, but it is definitely no easy task for neither both of us.

  • Will the game be releasing for Android?

No, no, and a hundred times no. If you follow this fangame exclusively to see if it releases on mobile you can go right up unfollowing now, porting a FNAF fangame to Android is not only convoluted but requires re-working a lot of mechanics and logic in the game, which would only delay its release. For those who would think "Then why don't you release the game and then release Android port?" it is also not my wish to work on an Android port, I want to release the game as is for PC and let people enjoy it and myself finally rest to make other things, I don't wanna spend a year just for then having to spend other 6 months making a useless port that really doesn't matter that much, even if I had the time to burn, I do not want to make an Android port, and if the game's source code ever gets released, I don't consent in any way for anyone to try and make one themselves.

  • Why remaking the game instead of just building over the old version?

If you genuinely think this, I appreciate your innocence cause I know you haven't seen that old source code.

  • Has [this animatronic] been added?

Find out on game's release.

After this game I may do another FNaF fangame completely on my own only with the help of a 3D modeler, it is just a vague possibility, but it is definitely up there. I also wanted to tell everyone reading this to appreciate and play good FNaF fangames, appreciate polished games and let people shine for their work, this is all my news from the LemonLemonLemon3.14159
