Game
Five Night's at Sonic's: Maniac Mania Chrono Chaos v2
2 months ago

Don't think I ever went over how much progress there was made for the game, since there isn't much else I can do right now, I'll share how things went


-----Office Gameplay----

The main focus was obviously the main office gameplay and that took the longest to make because I wanted to keep everything as good as it could be in terms of quality, nowadays I can probably do miles better but looking at how the game currently looks it still ain't too bad

Before the temporary cancellation the office gameplay was
60% done, most things were finished and I started working on AI again
There used to be AI in earlier stages of the game but I deleted it all just to rewrite it later since I never finalized my AI code, it was always unfinished, only clone sonic and luiginette were 100% finished in the current state of the game

-----Main Menu----

Main menu didn't take too long to make because it didn't get changed so much compared to the original, from what I remember it was 100% finished but could have been changed up a little if had gotten any new ideas

-----Title Screen----

The title screen was 90% finished, most of the work for that was actually done by alibaba (aka creepy), all I did was update everything for widescreen and add the night mode clone sonic easter egg

The last 10% would have went into the game's title asset (it was getting redrawn) and the blue ribbon, I wanted that animated which almost was, I kept forgetting to finish the waving animation when its all opened up

-----Custom Night----

That one took a really long time to work on, there were 2 versions of it, one that had all info's coded but had badly written selections, and the second that didn't have any info's and still had that weird selections code which I didn't feel like recoding cuz oh my god 47 characters man... who would wanna do that all over again..

lots of things were being redrawn, lots of info poses, lots of CN icons, I'd say that one is toe to toe with office gameplay sitting at around 60% done as well, needed lots of work, and was close to being almost fully functional

-----Skins Room----

Nobody fucking cares

-----Tutorial----

There was barely anything done for the tutorial, withered sonic and lefty were getting redrawn by multiple people, at the end I decided to stay with the one I drew but never finished anything else for it (which I can actually show here since I drew it, hoorraaayy..)

I didn't really like it that much so I planned to redraw it, never happened yet, but might one day

Probably was like 7% done

-----Achievements----

The whole screen was remade to fit the game's new resolution, but I messed up and made everything too small, resulting in me leaving that for way later into development since I've sat at that for too long, probably 1% done

-----Jumpscares Menu----

Not much to say about that one, we already had all jumpscare assets, there was nothing new to draw, just needed to code everything, which was handled by MoonSky, but that later was changed back to me since there was too much coding clash

Overall the whole development of the jumpscares menu was pretty slow and today sits at 40% done

-----Settings----

That was getting completely remade compared to the original game, I planned to add a ton of new options to the game but never really did anything for it before the temporary cancellation, I'd say that would have been around 10% done

there was also planned unlockable things in settings from challenges, but thats a story for another day

To sum it all up, the demo was really close to getting released, around 75% done

If the game was given like 2-3 more months then it would have released, but what happened has happened :p

There is one old build of the game that is pretty stable which I wouldn't mind releasing so people could at least something to play out of this game but I've lost all permissions so that's not happening sadly

Just wait for the July announcement that I teased in the last post
