Hi Guys,

Maybe many of you are wondering about this report and the image attached to it. I’ve decided to change the Fredbear’s map for the game because, in the end, I wasn’t completely satisfied with Vortex’s version. I know some people might say: “But I liked it. You showed a lot of things and revealed several details using that map.”

And yes, both Vortex and Novabandit0 saw my announcements on Twitter through both my personal account and the official Midnight at Fredbear’s account.

I also want to make it clear that I’ll continue crediting Vortex for his work, since I’ll still be using his William Afton model in the game, and I truly appreciate the effort he put into it. The same goes for Novabandit0 for the Fredbear, Springbonnie, and Puppet models.

But getting back to the main topic: despite the many things I liked about Vortex’s Fredbear’s map, there were several aspects that didn’t fully satisfy me.

Reasons for the Change:

1. Some areas looked really good and I genuinely liked them, but other sections felt too small and cramped.

2. Achieving proper nighttime lighting in Blender 5.0 using Cycles is very difficult, and the environment ends up being completely dark.

3. The office is far too small and lacks interesting details. It feels like it’s missing props and decoration. I plan to create a panoramic render in Blender for Clickteam to make the experience feel more immersive, but because the office is so small, objects behind the scene gradually become visible. It’s almost like painting a picture and accidentally leaving the back of the canvas exposed. Even if I worked around that issue, the office would still feel too small, and adding cameras would be difficult.

4. There’s no proper Parts & Services room for storing and repairing animatronics. Instead, there are just two storage rooms filled with shelves, boxes, and cleaning supplies. It made me think: “Where are the spare parts? How would the characters even be repaired during a post-night sequence without a Parts & Services room?”

5. The lack of a true nighttime atmosphere means almost every light would need to stay on, which makes the environment feel less scary because of how colorful and bright it is.

6. All of these issues would make preparing the official announcement trailer for Midnight at Fredbear’s much more difficult.

Because of this — and many other reasons — I decided to switch to a new Fredbear’s map created by The Radical Bear on Twitter. The map looks incredible, has an excellent atmosphere, and will officially become the new main location used in the game from now on.

I’ve already spoken with Vortex about this change, and he fully agrees with the decision.

Because of that, I’ll soon be updating both the GameJolt and Itch.io pages to reflect these changes.

And with these improvements, there will be even more news and new content for Midnight at Fredbear’s very soon.

Thank you all so much for reading and for understanding. I think that’s everything for now.
