I just want to clarify something since i heard some people this series was made to be on the max mode list (a page where max modes are ranked of which one is the hardest) but i need to say this
No, jolly but jolly was not made to be a "mml slop". Like, at all. My main objective to this series is to improve the original games since the games aged like milk gameplay-wise, and i really like the series since it was one of the first fangames to call my attention and for me it's nostalgic.
Why not a remake? because i don't the resources to make one. Why not make a five nights type game? because, as i said, the game focus more on the gameplay, and some QoL TO the gameplay.
If you don't like the gameplay i get it, not everyone will like the gameplay, i'm not forcing anyone's likes, if you think the gameplay is "barebones" well, that's for you, not for me. I don't really care about the mml, in fact, i could blacklist the max modes if i want to, i just want to make the series have a better look and also try something people have previously attempted, but failed.
Call me a cry baby, i don't care. I just want to have fun with my games and make the games i loved more "good", that's all.
Edit: btw, the reason as of why the max modes can be hard is because i am one of those guys who likes challenges. If you know me before, you may know my games aren't easy to beat, so yeah, just that
