Five Nights at Freddy's: The First Location

Progress Update No. 9.5


Hey there! Tiny update, nothing major, hence the .5 at the end. Production has pretty much wrapped up on my other project, at least for the time being, so I'm getting back into The First Location now. With all of that said...

Yeah. I'm recoding a lot of this game. Hence why this update is tiny. I've learned a boatload of things between starting my break from TFL and finishing my most recent project (more details soon, follow me specifically if you're interested). The code in this game is, messy, unnecessarily repetitive, and very unoptimized on the performance side of things. There is a very real chance that most of the game gets recoded from scratch.

BUT!!!!!!

That all said, don't expect this to take super long! This game was very simple to make when I was new to Unreal, it will be a cakewalk now, and will be 10x easier to manage, 10x easier to update, and 100x easier to look at.

I am also not saying that the game is delayed, by any means. I'm still hoping to have it ready by the end of Summer next year, if not sooner. The game design is not changing, the models and textures are not changing (at least, not majorly), and the story is not changing. Just a lot of optimizing, rework, and polish to be done.

Stay tuned!

The game page for my next game release, the FNaF-inspired "CASINO CASUALTY", is live! It is set to release on September 13th, should everything go according to plan.

Started and finished a hypothetical model of an Adventure Molten Freddy in less than a day, and even animated it a bit.

I miss FNaF World...

This is BEYOND early WIP, but a promise is a promise. Thanks for 300+ followers! Have a peek at a certain feature which may or may not be present in the demo (to an extent)

I have started working on a sort of a personal game jam. Expect a new, paid game release by the 20th. Inspired by #fnaf both visually and gameplay-wise but otherwise unrelated.

Just kinda needed a break from other projects.

Pic related.

Added some fun teasers to the game page. Most of them are kinda pointless, since, the characters have been seen already, but it was nice to take a day to chill and render some fun stuff out. Enjoy the callbacks

How do we feel about gambling in our horror games

(We have pinball, too, but that's for later)

After a few slight delays, #CasinoCasualty will be released before the end of the month.

Progress Update No. 8

Game is currently undergoing some major reworking on the code side (and my contracted project is still taking full priority on my part), so here's a little something in light of the lack of updates.
