Hello everyone, I was a developer of most of the Final Nights games by JeliLiam, and the Community Manager of Jelatine. After 8 years of being part of this community, with lots of fun moments, the not so fun drama, insane moments in the history of FNaF, I think I am moving on from Five Nights at Freddy's and leaving the community permanently.
Simply put, I don't like the direction the mainline FNaF games are going anymore, with only my interest remaining in the Fanverse games, as well as the huge amount of drama constantly happening in the community has been putting a huge amount of stress upon me. I am not the most healthy person, so the stress is very bad for me, and that combined with the prior experiences and lack of interest, made me decide to leave.
For 8 years I've been making FNaF Fangames with Liam, and met a ton of amazing people over that time span, learned a lot of things, made a lot of cool things, it's all thanks to one person - Scott Cawthon, which while I am not the most fond of anymore, I can't deny that he influenced my live a ton, and for that, he has my gratitude.
I don't really want to make this post extremely huge, but I want to thank at least some people for everything:
@JeliLiam , anyone can say whatever they want about you, but after so many years of knowing you, I know that you're an amazing dude which can overcome many challenges along the path, and keep improving to make things way better. You've done the best you always could, and are one of the best people I've met in my life. Keep rocking on, and thank you. Someday we will have matching Zootopia pics again, I promise.
@supersonic2233 , I still remember when we talked all night about stupid stuff on New Year's a few years ago, around the time of the release of Final Nights 4. You taught me a lot of stuff about life, and I'll be forever grateful for that, thank you so much.
@JamesSetRadio , we don't talk too often, but having a convo with you is always nice, and in general you're a pretty cool friend, and I'm grateful to you for that a ton.
Other than that, I wish the Fanverse devs the best of luck in finishing their projects. FNaF+ and POPGOES Evergreen from what I've seen so far look genuinely like proper FNaF games which have the "Feeling of FNaF" a lot better than the new official FNaF games IMO. I haven't seen much about the other Fanverse games, but they look promising as well.
I'll be shortly removing all FNaF related content from my social medias such as artworks or tweets, so if you want to backup anything, now's the time to do so.
To mark the ending words, I want to thank the community for doing so many cool recreations of models, fan characters, artwork, I still up to this day think this community is the most talented one out of all, and I wish every member will have a bright future ahead of them. Good luck, and thank you all.
~ See ya all
