That's right, Five Nights at Fredfred will be receiving a major update.
But before that i'm sure you're already wondering why Fredfred 2 was unlisted so I'll get to that first.
The Unlisting of Five Nights at Fredfred 2: The Grand Rebranding
To put it simply, I failed at everything I wanted to do when making this game & that might make it one of my worst projects ever.
For example I wanted Golden FredFred & Jerald's mechanics to be really fast because Jacko really enjoyed Fredfred & Jerald's Mechanics from the first game.
However in the end they are some of the easiest mechanics due to how much time they give you, which basically ruins the whole point of what they were supposed to do.
So already the game is failing in some departments, what else?
I think the game is somewhat ugly in some places, specifically fredfred & trapspring, whose pngs look really choppy compared to linda & jerald from the first game who look alot cleaner.
I also generally don't like the story & direction it was taking the series, I have much bigger plans & more fun ideas on what to do with these characters now & I find FredFred 2 a random misadventure in between that.
Sure I know the characters are just recolors with a few edits but there's something about their designs & fredfred's shitposty personality that just makes me love them and want to give them an actual pretty cool game.
In the end I think I've said enough to make it pretty clear how FredFred 2 fails miserably in many departments, I do like some small things like the menu, the fact that each night has its own music & the ai generated credits song but that's actually it, there is not a single other thing I like about that game.
So what does that mean now? Five Nights at FredFred 2: The Grand Rebranding is no longer cannon & likely two things can come from this:
Either a new sequel is made, that is completely unrelated to grand rebranding & is its own new thing (basically a replacement).
or FredFred 3 becomes the official second game & the series will become a duology instead of a trilogy.
I won't think too hard about that for now though because as I just announced up there Five Nights at FredFred 1 is receiving a major update!
(before we move on, I wanna be clear that I am not taking FredFred 2's page down, it will remain up but just be unlisted. you can still visit it via the chapters for now but once I work on either a replacement sequel or fredfred 3, it will be linked somewhere else but it will always be accessible! so no need to panic).
Five Nights at Fredfred Major Update
So I'm not sure if I should exactly call this a major update because not a lot will change, this update will mainly revamp trapspring's mechanic, update the visuals & that's it.
But at the same time it doesn't feel right to call it a 2.0 either, so let's just stick with the major update for now.
This has been something that's on my mind for awhile now, as time went on with me hating Five Nights at FredFred 2: The Grand Rebranding I found myself loving the first game a lot more.
it's far from perfect but pretty enjoyable, only needing abit of touch up to be in the good category, so that's what this major update is for.
I will slowly start updating the page as progress on the major update is done & once it's done then I'll continue on with my current projects.
I have also renamed the first release to v1.0, so that there is no way anyone can mistake it for the Major Update.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
