Blog Post #1: Progress Update, Upcoming Demo, and Twitter Teasers

Friedrich's just hit 25 followers!

Big thanks to everyone who has supported the game so far. This page has only been up for like a day, so hitting this milestone is pretty cool!

Since there are some eyes on this game now, I wanted to give some quick updates on how the game is looking right now. I won’t be spoiling everything the game has to offer, but I’ll give you a general idea of how things are looking.

The programming for the main gameplay is largely done. There are 10 rooms and 4 fully programmed animatronics. Unfortunately, the main bulk of the work is going to be art/animation. In terms of rooms, I have about 5 of them drawn, with 5 rooms worth of animatronic animations (they have exit and entrance animations for each room they go into, plus some extras).

Once the art is complete, with some sound effects and polish, I’d like to look at possibly getting a demo out. The demo would include two playable nights, four animatronics, and a little extra content. After that, even more content and polish will be worked on until the eventual full release.

To summarize it, the game is about 50% ready for a demo. In the coming weeks, any blog post I make will also feature a progress bar (much like the one here) showing how close we are to a demo release. How exciting!

Thanks again for the follows and support! Stay tuned for more Friedrich news!

(P.S. As a bonus gift, here’s all the clips of the game I’ve uploaded to my Twitter in the past. There’s some cool new stuff here so enjoy!)

Originally, the song "Fritter Fallen" was going to be a lot longer. However, I got a bit carried away with the cool badass guitars, and realized the tone of the song didn't really fit the melancholy ending. So I trimmed it short.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the COOL basketyball drawing of the RYONSTREAM Janurary 2026 edition. We'll be starting Five New Fangled Nights REAL freakin soon, so get in here and get ur popcarn ready!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1gEtZgSGDI

The previously mentioned Friedrich's spinoff would've been a VN where you play as a detective, investigating after the events of Friedrich's. You'd meet all sorts of wacky characters, including the mysterious lady who signs the checks! This is her theme.

For those who don't know, I've been working with @Ciity on the Friedrich's articles for the FNAF fangame wiki! This is currently THE BEST resource for Friedrich's lore and trivia.

Go check out the articles and become a loremaster! https://the-fnaf-fan-game.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Five_Nights_a…

This one's a bit unfinished, but Pfingstmontag was the original draft for the Extras menu theme! I changed my mind because it seemed way too cheery, even for an Extras menu.

Last song! This is another new song from that cancelled Friedrich's spinoff, an updated theme for everyone's favorite yellow nightguard, Ella Vanilla! This version of Ella has chilled out just a bit, but she still loves her job!

Also Friedrich's Wave 1 stickers have returned!! Use your charges to get these classic critters.

These will be up for a couple months, then we'll cycle back into Wave 2. Happy stickering!

So I made this a while ago, but there is now a RYON Game Jolt community for all current and upcoming RYON stuff. The rules are the same as the Friedrich's community, just expanded to include all ryon crap. Please join! https://gamejolt.com/c/ryon-se4zgc

Just for fun, here's the first draft I ever did of Finger Lakes. I'd only written the first minute, and it left a lot to be desired.

Tomorrow will be the last song in this series, and it'll be a new song for an existing character. Can you guess who?

FIVE NIGHTS AT FRIEDRICH'S is now available on MAC and LINUX (also MINOR PATCH NOTES v1.1.1)
