The Return To Freddy's: Classic Recoded Series
1 day ago

It's time for a serious talk about Prophecy Mode.


This is a much different post than what I normally do, but it's time I address this. This is going to be a more serious post and will be a long one, so if you don't like reading these kinds of posts then this won't be worth your time. When I say everything here, I am not attempting to call out anyone or cancel specific people with this. I'm just sharing my thoughts about some stuff that I'd like to let out and raise awareness about.

Why I Wanted to Create Prophecy Mode

To start, Prophecy Mode has been something I've been developing for over a year, as with all of my games the max modes end up way easier than I intended them to be, and I'm not happy about that. Prophecy Mode is my chance, and my moment to show the max mode community that I really can create a truly difficult challenge that puts your mechanical skill to the test. The TRTF CR games are special to me because The Return To Freddy's is one of the most important fangame series. It was what started the bandwagon of FNaF fangames. However, the bugs and glitches practically make it unplayable. This is where Classic Recoded comes in to fix that, and yes there are better mods. Classic Recoded is just my take on the TRTF series and what I'd do if I was Tyler. Prophecy Mode is like the ultimatum of TRTF 2 CR, the true final challenge to the entire game.

If you haven't been able to tell yet, PROPHECY BFP was created with the intention of being one of the hardest max modes in the entire world, and the hardest possible TRTF max mode in terms of raw skill. This mode is also being privately verified by @1kmz , which there are some people that heavily dislike private verifications, and I can see why. However, PROPHECY BFP is a different case. Because of how hard this mode is in specific, I don't want it to go unverified for so long. There's also the horrendous releases of v1.2.0 with Frankburt's Night & v1.1.0 with the challenges, & PROPHECY BFP being a private verification should prevent Prophecy Mode from being a butchered release like v1.2.0 & v1.1.0.

I'll also mention this when I say this mode is meant to be insanely hard. I know there are going to be people that won't enjoy playing this. That's inevitable. It's happened with every mode. Take Perfect Golden Freddy, My Time, Rainbow Overload, and Silent Suicide Mouse for example. Not every mode will appeal to everybody, and PROPHECY BFP is just another example of that. HOWEVER, I will make a major promise to all of you that plans to play Prophecy Mode and touch PROPHECY BFP that I will not break. I'll do anything in my power to make Prophecy Mode as balanced and skill-based as it can be. The amount of bullshit RNG modes that end up terrible to play due to a lack of balancing is absurd. Take True Golden Freddy All Challenges, 50/20 Non-VR, 4/20 All Challenges, etc. I don't want Prophecy Mode to suffer that same fate and I'll do whatever I can to avoid that kind of death.

Why "True" Prophecy Mode Will Never Officially Happen

Someone suggested the idea of a "True Prophecy Mode" for v1.4.0 of the game, and I'm going to explain why it will not happen, at least not with me. Prophecy Mode originally started as Perfect Mode, and if you couldn't tell it was just biting off of Sister Location Super Custom Night. "True Prophecy Mode" is just another attempt at biting off of SL SCN, and I'm not going to doing that. If you see Prophecy Mode as a knockoff of SL SCN Perfect Mode, then that's fine with me. Just give it a chance when it comes out and don't bash it just for being similar to Perfect Mode (new visuals, reworked mechanics, etc.).

With PROPHECY BFP also being made to be one of the hardest max modes, True Prophecy Mode will only make the game even more dogshit and TRTF 2 CR will just become another slop TRTF 2 mod, which I don't want that to occur.

The Issue of The Hate Bandwagon in the Max Mode Community

This is going to be the much more important part, and I'm going to say that in no way, shape, or form am I attempting to call anybody out or cancel anyone. I'm just simply raising awareness about the issue since it's happened so frequently in the max mode community. What people fail to understand is that the max mode community is quite small. Someone tried to claim I used ChatGPT to code these games, and I will admit I handled the situation horribly, but that doesn't change the fact that that comment was just fucking pathetic.

If you send blatant hate to a developer, not only will they hear it, but the community built around the game will also hear it. It fucking hurts. If you hate a game or a max mode, try to give constructive criticism on why you didn't like the mode. List what could be improved. I did this when I verified BFP All Challenges v3.12 from The Return To Freddy's 2: Reworked. I was asked on what could be changed after beating it and I listed specific changes that could be made to make the mode better. Whenever I was DM'd a private test build, I played the new BFP AC which is now Filming BFP, and the mode is a lot better to play now. It's ultimately way more fun than BFP AC v3.12, and I'll admit I did shit on it more than I should've, but ultimately my effort to verify the mode was worth it as we now have a way better version of the mode that is a lot more fun to play. This is what people should do when they dislike a mode, but unfortunately it's quite common for people to not do this in the max mode community and just simply say the game is dogshit without any reason as to why.

Most people simply don't understand that as the creator, hearing that kind of shit with no criticism is just hurtful and it sucks to hear that you thought you did a great job on something, but then one person says it's dogshit because they didn't enjoy it. When v1.3.0 releases, after you play Prophecy Mode and PROPHECY BFP, if you don't like playing it, then give constructive criticism on why you didn't like it. I'll hear you and depending on how much it ruins the experience I'll adjust it accordingly.

Conclusion

Alright so this is the end of this post. If this wasn't the kind of post you expected, then I'm sorry, but it needed to be said. Feel free to express your opinions about all of this in the comments, I'll read each and every comment on this post. If you're at this point of the post, then thank you. The next post on this game page will be good news, don't worry.

Goodbye, and see you next time.
