Context:

When I was starting my GameJolt account, in 2023, I met my dear friend @Mouse-avi , who at that time was developing many fan games (he still is), and seeing the amount of games he was making, I offered my help he accepted, giving me one of the projects called "FNAF 1st Generation". A fangame that took place at the Fredbear Family Diner.

I started development, but something was stopping me from continuing. I didn't know what to do with the game, I was having a... creative block. My idea was to make something new and different from the fan games that take place at Fredbear's, but I never came up with a new idea, it was always something repetitive or something that had already been used. So, I left the project in the drawer, but I never stopped thinking about it.

As time went by, the fan game came to my mind and I started to have some ideas, discarded some, thought better about others, and it was like that until September-November 2024, when I returned to developing the fan game. Now, I no longer have that problem of creative block and I already had a decided direction.

Story:

The game's story will be similar to FNAF's, but a little more simplified and with some changes to the dates of important events. But the most drastic change is the Fan Game's proposal, and to better develop Willian Afton and his family.

In this game, Willian was never someone "bad" from the beginning, he was someone normal. A widowed father, with professionalism in business and a charismatic man, but who had problems with drinking. He's not bad, but he's also not very kind, balanced, and that's the right word to define this Willian Afton, at least at the beginning of the game.

As the game progresses, he stops being someone normal, and becomes more and more like our favorite killer that we know, until we reach the canonical events of FNAF: The Bite of '83, MCI, etc. I won't say how this will happen, I want to keep it a secret, but if you read the game's bio maybe you'll understand... maybe.

Concepts and other things:

Now a little bit about some concepts and ideas for the game:

The animatrons in this game will have two versions, the first will be called "Day", a more childish, friendly and normal version, and the second will be the "Night", a version that resembles the Nightmares, but in a distorted and more threatening way. By the name, you should already know when these versions will appear, so I won't need to give much explanation.

There's not much I can say, this will be the pizzeria and the animatronics locations, represented by these... images.

Finally, one of the game's main techniques, based on one of the canceled versions of Insanity 2.

End:

Now we've reached the end of this first DevLog, will there be more? I don't know. I'm not a guy who likes to make DevLogs, maybe AVI will, but... if it's up to me, it will be a long time before there's another DevLog

Anyway... until the next post
