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!)

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

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.

Closing the book on Five Nights at Friedrich's (the game)

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?

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.

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!

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.

Merry Xmas gamers!! Friedrich’s Stickers Wave 1 will return Sunday, Dec 28th. Remember to open your current packs or you’ll lose them!

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting some unused Friedrich’s songs too.

Hope you all have a good rest of the year!

For those who don't know, Five New-Fangled Nights by @Caleb_Hill and @CircuitBoardProductions is OUT NOW!! Everyone please check this game out, it's super charming and the animation is FANTASTIC https://gamejolt.com/games/ifyourereadingthisyouvegotagoodeye/80…

Thanks to everyone who showed up to today's stream, it was lots of fun! Here's the insane evil picture we ended up drawing. (No text version available too)
