Crafty's Play Zone

Hello everyone! The Crafty's Play Zone DLC is taking a bit longer than I had expected due to development complications. Don't worry, it's not all bad news!

Full details are in the article below!

Thought I'd give a little update on the Crafty's Play Zone DLC for you guys. I had been very slowly developing it for a few weeks with the "first section" of the game being completed along with the intro section being halfway done. However, I had hit a bit of a roadblock.

I've come to realise that the DLC's gameplay structure just doesn't work. It's messy, convoluted, and doesn't flow in a very good way for players. Without spoiling too much, the gameplay basically functioned very linearly similar to Sister Location... except worse... (and that's saying something because a lot of people HATE Sister Location's gameplay)

So I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I'm scrapping a good chunk of what I had planned/made. This does mean that the entire first section will not be in the final version of the DLC (I'll be sure to show it off at a later date, though!).

However, the good news is that I think the new gameplay format is going to work much better! I'm going to take it more in line with the base game's original roots with more of a typical stationary, FNAF-styled experience. On top of this, the story I had planned is basically unchanged along with the intro still being kept!

So that's basically it. The DLC has had a bit of a set-back, so there's a lot of work to do. But I know that once it's finished, it'll be a great follow-up experience to the base game of Crafty's Play Zone!

(TLDR: Gameplay of the CPZ DLC is entirely scrapped due to poor gameplay structure. New format should work better, thank you for your patience!)

Saw this Twitter post which said to try and times something in the game you're making by 1000. This was the result when I tried it... XD

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO CRAFTY'S PLAY ZONE! ...2 days ago...

Yeahhh I forgot so I'm a little bit late, been very busy so it just flew over my head.

But thank you to everyone who's played it since its release! Hopefully I'll have some DLC news soon.

I was bored so I made a random Crafty's Play Zone meme, I think it's pretty accurate.

(P.S. The DLC is still going AMAZINGLY! :D)

It's been a long time, but take this beautiful edit by @FoxyTheVA
