I have been a fnaf fan since 2014 in november. It all started when my friends came over on a tueday night in the middle of the snow with a dark crimson sky. We were waiting for there parents to pick them up and they played the fnaf 2 demo on his ipad. Before this I only say FNAF from youtube thumbnails and I thought the game had shit like kangaroos and shit. I was really scared of horror in general ever since I saw a video of planet X and got scared of the world ending in 2012.

We played it and I was instantly hooked onto the game. The artstyle the snowflakes falling on the ipad screen the music box and the phone guy. It all was so super intresting to me. After they left I instantly started wathcing videos with my brother (he was a sleep I think or something) about this game. I saw videos from fusion z gamer and zombiewar I think there name was at the time. Then Fnaf fan games became a thing and I loved FNATI and other games. I get so nostligatic to old fnaf fan games really low quality style. I like low quality things.

I was a youtuber at the time (started in oct 2014) and I Found many glitches such as a glitch where mangle jumpscared me and the night completed. It was on the cupcake challenge one. The same thing happened in fnaf 3 with springtrap. But I called it the bite of 87 glitch cause at the time and still today I think mangle was the one who did it. There's a lot of proof to suggest she did it and I think he was a really cool character too. I used to play the shit out of all the custom nights (challenge nights really cause you couldn't customize them on mobile yet and thats where I played it)

I was probably one of the first to document and find this glitch but well I never ended up getting credit for that cause someone deleted all my videos in 2016. I don't think ill ever have a chance at getting those back. I don't know if ill ever get my channel back despite it being wrongfully terminated. Perhaps one day once I am popular enough, YouTube will give a shit about me or perhaps youtube gets hacked and the hackers unterminated all channels. ITs a wet dream I have but I know its just a coping mechanism. It really has hurt me alot since my old youtube channel was deleted for a bullshit reason. It meant the world to me.

even though my legacy can only be told through archives on odyssey or myself at the moment. I am thankful I still can have the memory.

I didn't start making FNAFB until I saw a video by energetic shadow. Called Five Nights at Fredbear's. I after that quickly made the game page for this game and started work on it. I wanted to make this game come to life with the classic rafa models and stuff. But It took me a while to ever get it to be. Took me till 2018 actually. I made many renders in gmod and shit but. I never could figure out how to make the game work in game maker or clickteam cause there weren't any good tutorials on it at the time. This game was just a pure fatasy but I would never give up on it. After sister location I stopped caring about fnaf in general. I mean I stopped playing the games after fnaf 4 cause that games was just too hard for me to play. I couldn't hear any breathing or tell what it sounded like. I could fully play through sister location but the ending was really bittersweet and made me not care. Even more so in the shitty year of 2016 which was just a horrible year for me. It felt like everything had to be destroyed some way that year.

I ended up making the first iteration of FNAFB in scratch. Before that I was given files by friends who told me they made the game parts of it for me. But they where just stolen from other game devs such as fredbear's pastarea and a really old FNAFB game.

The game used fnaf world sprites and it was really shitty. But It was the best I could do at the time and it was a school project.

Fast foward to 2018 and I find a game called Freddy Fazbear's pizza simulator. I thought it was just some dumb fnaf world thing I saw it on steam before but upon seeing a video by markaplier I realized this game was fucking awesome and I got back into fnaf and doing fnaf videos and fan games.

Thats when I decided to go back and remake FNAFB 1 in scratch and I did it. It was really just fnaf 1 but with only GB and GF but it worked for me. I then did FNAFB 2 and 3 and the other 2D games. I never really finished the phone calls for most of them but I will be doing that soon and I will tell you why soon.

Then in 2020 I started to work on remasters for these 2D games using fnaf maker. But fnaf maker stopped getting support so I gave up on the whole thing. I was left with tons of unused renders and shit. I then started to use UE to make games using HE. Just as a quick way to see how game deving worked. Now sure I used UE to make ARK mods since 2016 which would be like for 5 years? But I didn't know fully everything mainly map making and environments.

Thats when BTER was started and it was gonna just be a 3D Free roam series of 4 games that took place with the 2D games. But then I started want to make the 2D games in 3D and nobody would play the 2D games so I then decided to put BTER on hold for a long time to work on the 3 games that take place before it FNAFB 1 2 and 3

I wont explain the rest of the history but lets just say thats how I got into fnaf and free roam in general.

So anyways to douchebags who will tell me "nobody cares"
(I really hate when people say that!) about my story of how I got into and fnaf and what it means to me thanks to scott. I will now get to the update you people probably wanted from me.

I finished the war map and the new Fredbear's pastareia! Because the OG game that was meant to be FNAFB 3 was Fredbear's pasteria due to the fake files given to me I always wanted to include it in someway so here I did it. AS a challange night map. The game itself title was confusing cause there is no Fredbear in the game itself. Its just all foxy. But I think I got it done well and its a big step up from other locations I have made with the lighting and such.

The evolution of the map is different. Theres alot more to it then these screenshots but I don't want to spoil much. In general I think I really got alot of lighting right. I spent alot of time working on this one.

The hard mode version of this map is a complete Freezeover. After celling damage and a AC malfunction the winter was not kind to this place. This screenshot is kinda of old (which is good cause it would have spoiled the main animatronic hunting you down in this section and I still have yet to add foxy himself in this map.
If you haven't noticed this is also a map inspired by Halo 3 ODST

I added more mist and fog in the final version but it may be hard to see. But I am glad I was able to make this come to life.

The map doesn't follow everything from the OG game correctly. But I had to take some liberty's to make it not to similar to any other maps and to improve upon the OG game (like having an actual fredbear or golden foxy or not many reskinned foxys and actual different models.)

The war map got finished and while I can't tell you the hidden part of the map you can find I can say I am sorta of happy with it. Its not really realistic what happens but its fun as hell. Games should be fun!

Anyways thank you for taking time out of you're day to actually take a look at my article, Story and game. I hope this makes you happy that I am feeling better. I now take what people tell me on the game dev servers the same I did it in the ark modding community and thats just to self deprecate and be self aware. Trolls will get bored of not giving you proper critics and then you can be left alone. So yeah thats good!

HAPPY FNAF ANNIVERSRY!
