New Info


Hey, hi.

So I’ve been having huge headaches about the bet with TSM and I and this project.

I’ve been having a headache from thinking, planning, and taking into account what the final product would look like when it’s published and what people would say about the game. And I think about a lot of the negatives like broking features, poor sounds used, poor transitioning. I take game development a little too seriously and I get a little picky about what I want. And I sometimes don’t take into account (for example) the time for making a new model. And the project I was referring to as “this game,” felt like it was all just for one person, TSM, for our bet. What I had in mine made the game pretty freaking hard. And turned into a game that wasn’t fun. And the project was really un-necessarily need/wanted for our modern FNaF games: Tannerland: Ultimate Custom Night.

This game would work just like UCN, you would have a high score, new cutscenes, all the same, and nothing new. And the worst part is that I have to take into account the people who don’t know who the character: Tanner is. That includes the rest of the characters from my past games which got very very little attention. So wouldn’t it be odd to be introduced to a series from the custom night? I also have to take into account that I don’t have all the original models anymore, I would have to re-model each one.

That would mean the Tannerland: UCN is canceled, right? So what about Original Location? Original Location has been in development for over two/three years, with constant remakes and scrapped content. And a story that no-one will want to know. When creating an FNaF game you want it to be good, and just my Emil Macko once said: an FNaF game has to have something new. And there aren’t any games with that something new, it’s just the same thing with a different art style. I’ve had something both new and old but I wasn’t happy with it. The game would feel like a waste of time of playing.

I always find myself comparing famous games like FNaC and Flumpty’s to the original games. FNaC had familiar characters making the game a “must have.” Flumpy’s had goofy and fun gameplay making the game fun from the start. If you were introduced to these characters from a custom night would you feel interested in these characters? No, you wouldn’t. Custom Night is just a fun game mode to play. So a custom night is not the way to go. And Original Location is a nightmare that I’m sick of, I don’t want to even open any files to relate to Original Location, I’ve clicked their folders too many times to count. Original Location and ALL its assets are now scrapped. I’m done.

But because I still need to release a game, I’ll make ONE Tannerland game. I want the game to be short and difficult. I’m taking into account that this is my last FNaF related game and I want to at least try to make something different from modern FNaF games. I’ve made my point and I’m happy with it. The bet between TSM and I is still on but my part a lot easier. I’ll make the page when the game is finished.
