Post-Release thoughts + Patch v1.0.1


Hey guys,

I vent in this post so please don’t take anything to heart.
Game’s been out for almost a day and it seems some people have some issues with the game, mainly and A.I.

My thoughts are that I reckon it’s gone well, plenty of people were hyped and seem to enjoy it while others aren’t literally losing their shit, calm down!!

A.I. Difficulty
All of your gripes with the game is the sheer difficulty rise on night 4, and I agree, just looking over the code as I read this, it is a jump up from night 3, and I plan to balance all nights a.i. when I can. But I am a little insulted that some of you are taking shots at me for this.
Give me constructive criticism instead.

AI is RNG, making the game different every time you play, nothing linear if you will. That’s why some people are lucky to beat a later night and it’s easier.

Frame Rate Terrible?
Next up I saw a couple comments about the game’s ‘frame rate’ obviously it runs at 60fps, though ingame animations were rendered at a 15-20 frame rate, what’s the big deal?
I made it this way to be safe, FNBF1 almost was cancelled due to a serious RAM usage issue and I was trying my hardest to avoid this, in the end the game uses the same ram as the first.
All to play it safe, not to purposely cut back on quality I am just working with limitation.
That and I am still learning clickteam, so I haven’t fully mastered an amazing looking game on 2gb ram.
Try making a game with engine limitations and you’ll understand.

Comments
Some people have been brutally honest which I can appreciate sometimes, but hell some of these comments go to lengths, I mean… seriously, are you trying to piss me off? It ain’t working haha.
Regarding other comments, these I respect, ones that give me constructive criticism and their honest opinion in a respectful manner, thank you.

Android Port?
People gotta stop asking about the android port, everywhere I go it’s either android port of FNW39 2, I am only one man and got my own stuff to deal with so give me time and eventually these will come.

Patch
Ok, I didn’t want to be releasing a patch so soon but thanks to some of the responses I will be releasing a patch to meet some requests.
I will release details at some point but I want to give it some time for moreopinions and maybe bug reports to come in.
So far it’s fixing the A.I. and making it possible to click to move around without using the keyboard (which will be needed anyway for a potential android port)

That’s about it.

Thank you if you read all of this, Let me know what should be fixed. (Nothing ridiculous please)

Cheers.
