Hello everyone, it has been a minute. I would like to begin with a question many people are probably wondering, "Maggie, didn't you retire?" The answer is yes. As it stands, this project should be dead. However, due to major assistance from some IRL friends, the project lives yet again.
Characters
As of writing this, 14/114 characters are fully implemented. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but a lot of progress has been made. Thanks to everyone that helped out and submitted character concepts. I've received nearly 80 concepts, and some of them I've already implemented!
Work is being done to try and balance out every single playable character to at least be fun, maybe not "meta" defining, but fun. Which is what's important.
Items
Due to the sheer number of characters in this game, it has taken a considerable amount of time to add in every single piece of base equipment and weapons. There are 207 pieces of regular armor, with each type having its own unique icon. Nothing that special, but pretty time-consuming.
I also have a system in place where there are specific items that can only be equipped by certain types of animatronics. So, you may get a pretty unique weapon all the "Bears" could use, but others cannot. There are also "Bunnies", "Chickens", "Foxes", etc. Again, nothing crazy, but I think it will allow for some unique additions to the game.
STORY/Gameplay
I've actually developed a pretty interesting story for this game, and it's one of the driving factors behind wanting this project done, to tell the story. So far, only 1 era is "gameplay complete", meaning all the necessary content in it is finished, with bonus and side content still being worked on.
Other Progress
While I have nothing to show for it now, I am working on heavily improving the visuals of the game. I'm taking inspiration from modern FNaFb visual design, and overhauling the menus and battle HUD. I will probably show progress on that soon.
I've also gone through and updated the game page a lot, with new screenshots and a snazzy banner I cooked up. I'm pretty proud of it, so I hope you all like it.
I wanted to make a progress update over a month ago, but I put it off at the time as I wanted to wait till more progress was made. I have surrounded myself with several friends that also aspire to be game developers. I have mentioned this project several times, and they actually wished to help with it. This is a project I do genuinely care about, so we revived it.
Don't expect anything from it soon, but it is in a state of existence right now.
