Good evening everyone…
I’m writing this to make you Fazbear Rebrand fans aware of a situation that was just discovered yesterday. I don't want to jump to conclusions about these people who worked on the game for a while. However, what actually happened indicates that Fazbear Rebrand might have had it's content stolen by two team members.
Yesterday, I was gonna message the suit modeler in question, FakeShadow, to ask for progress in one of the characters. But to my surprise he was not on the FR Discord Dev server anymore, had changed his username and blocked me and other members. There are two scenarios that are very likely, either he got hacked, which is unlikely due to me talking with him recently or this is a Pear/copycat situation.
That idea made me panic, I message one of the admins and we noticed another thing that was off:
The other modeler MakakaObami, also known on the GJ community by @TofuuDev was also on the project, but they were removed due to trust issues. For context we were gonna do a teaser trailer revealing one of the characters full body with an enviromment reveal as well. I asked Tofuu to make the stage. He showed us progress from it once and then never again.
Why do I think he might also be getting FR content?
Discord has a way to set the status of the user, had the impression they set their discord status for Invisible, which means you can see content with out people knowing you are online, to get the environments for himself. And he always used the “excuse” on some Friday's, when he was actually talking on the server: "I’ll show it tomorrow" (tm being Saturday btw) and never talking about it.
Now do I think Shadow and Obami are working together?
I'm not sure, but if that is the case we will keep track to see if any enviroments or designs are used in other games and take the appropriate response.
The model from Freddy Fazbear model still will be still used?
Yes, 3/4 of that model were made by me, @RibbonRabbit and @MercuryMercM . Once you do stuff like this I don't believe he entitled to us honoring his artistic integrity
At this point I'll be more cautious with Fazbear Rebrand information going forward.
We are now looking for new modelers and i'll be taking advice on what to next
Thx for reading
Fazbear Rebrand will persevere, we will make our best to make the bast game for everyone to enjoy and have fun
Arc out
